was one of humanity. illustrated by the
words of Captain Phillips of the Tex
as: Don't cheer, boys; don't you see
the poor fellows are dying" And
while the war had cost much in blood
and treasure, it had been worth ten
times what it cost, as it had wiped out
every barrier and sectional feeling and
made the United States one united
| nation The men who marched and
fought under the Stars and Stripes
marched side by side with those who
had marched and fought under the
stars and bars. and when the battles
had been fought there were no North,
| no South, no East. no West. 1t was
an American war, fought by the
| manity.
In comparing Democratic and Re-
publican financial methods, Senator
| Perkins said:
Our Democratic friends complained
at the large surplus in the treasury
under President Harrisons Admins
tration, there being in the treasury in
March, 1885, S21S, 100000. Well, we
elected a Democratic President, Grover
Cleveland, and January, 1895, the gold

during his four years administration
in time of peace he issued $262 100000
per cent. bonds. The present Ad-
ministration issued S2O0,000,OO0 3 per
cent. bonds to pay the expenses Of the
war, and President Mckinley, instead
Of asking a New York syndicate to take
them, took the people into his conf

would not be taken outside of the
money centers. There were 32O,OO0
applicants for the bonds, the aggregate
sum of applications amounting to
81 400, 0,00O,OO0 Over 100000, 900 were
divided among 10000 people in sums
of less than $500 to each person. The
remaining $1OO,000OO0 went in sums
less than 81, 800 to persons, firms and
corporations. These 3 per cent. bonds
now command a handsome premium.
| The Government sold the bonds at
/ par and paid no commission or broker
age. What a high encomium to Pres
ident McKinley's Administration"
| Senator Perkins paid a high tribute
| to Frank D. Ryan. He said:

Senator Perkins concluded by saying
that in order to reap the benefits to
accrue from the war; it was necessary
| to give at the polls a vote of conf
dence to President Mckinley, who had
steered the ship of State through the
pillows of war to a safe harbor and a
victory such as had never been known
in the history of the world.
E. B. EDSON'S TALK.
| E. B. Edison of Siskiyou, candidate
| for Railroad Commissioner. was in
troduced and spoke briefly. He said
that when elected he would thoroughly
investigate everything that came be-
| fore the commission. and decide all
points which in his Judgment would
| be in the best interests Of the whole
people.
| COLONEL EDDY SPEAKS
| Colonel 7. V. Eddy spoke next. He
| said he knew Sacramento was Senator
! Perkins town, and he seemed to own
It, He hadIa message from the Repub
lican State Central Committee, which
body had asked him to repeat it in his
talk. It was that the State would give
Gage $4,000 majority at the coming
election.
Colonel Eddy said that in San Jose
236 old line Democrats had formed
clubs and declared their intention to
| support Gage. The Democrats, he said
| helped to elect Mckinley, and he had
never heard of a man who was sorry
for so voting, though there were many
sorry that they had not done so. The
| Democrats had helped to elect McKin-
| ley and he wanted to thank them for it.
and he thought if some of them should
| die before they voted for Gage, the
fact that they had voted for Mckinley
would be in mitigation of their former
sins.
| The speaker said the present cam
| paign was Of the greatest Importance,
regardless of the fact that the Demo-
| Gratis only shouted "Railroadi Rail
road"' He believed they raised the cry
only to throw dust in the eyes of the
voters; they would, when confronted
| by genuine issue, deny that 1t was
such. He said that persons who COW
cred up or declined to grapple with is
sues were not to be trusted.
The speaker said that Mcguire was
keeping hidden the single tax theory,
which as the real issue of the cam
| paign. He had buried it deep and by
his silence admitted that it was an
issue. He said that the views and the
record Of any man who aspired to a
Gubernatorial position ought to be
| thoroughly understood before elected to
an office
