WHAT MAGUIRE STANDS FOR.

THE defense of Judge Mcguire by Mr. Preble | one of his partsans is the severest attack yet made on Mcguire. We knew when offered space in columns for answer to our statement of What Mcguire Stands For" that the only answer
 must be admission of the truth of charges
 and an argument to vindicate the Judges views as we had declared them to be.
 Mr. Preble admits that Mcguire in Congress de tended the nhilists and anarchists and declared them to be the Democrats and Republicans of Europe whose purpose is right and their cause should be sacred to every lover of liberty and justice" MT. Preble says of this speech that its "every syllable must be ndorsed by enlightened citizens who believe in the great democratic principle of political equality and freedom" And this defender of anarchy and Mcguire adds: Anarchy is no more menace to civilization than any other line of philosophical soning.'
 MT. Preble avows himself in sympathy with an archy because he too, desires overthrow existing things for which he has contempt.
 No intelligent need make any mistake about the motives and the methods of anarchy and nihil-
 ism. When Judge Mcguire spoke for them in Con- gress he was not in ignorance of them They oppose all government, no matter what its form, Mcguire perfectly well knows. Nor are those who are se-
 ected to execute the death sentence hunger crazed wretches,' MT. Preble asserts. They are selected executioners by the council of murderers
 About year ago anarchy was preached and taught in San Francisco by of it's apostles, who boasted that the assassin of President Carnot of France was his pupil in the study of murder Herr Most of New York IS not hunger-crazed wretch nor is Emma Goldman. The anarchists who committed the mur- ders at Haymarket square in Chicago were not driven to assassination by want They were members of circle that had organized then to overthrow this Government by murder. On their trial it proved by their own admissions and by written and printed matter, of which they the authors and dstrib- tutors, that they had opened laboratory in which to study and test Eliminates and high explosives. They had issued minute instructions their followers for the construction of bombs, and 1t shown that the bombs with which they killed score of people were manufactured in their laboratory and according to the directions which they had printed.
 It is not yet three years since of these an archsts said in speech in this city that the way to human liberty lay the dead body of the Pres- dent of the United States
 We will later print the platform of anarchy and nihilism as formulated by Karl Marx and Krapot- kine
 If citizens who have something at stake who have interest in law and order and who believe in gov ernment, desire to how rapidly the Mcguire school is approaching the danger line for our in sttutons, they should read Mr. Prebles defense of Magure's defense of anarchy. Maguires speech in favor of the anarchists and nihsts and Mr. Preble's defense of 1t should be printed and circulated as cam pagn documents, and when the people of California have read them, let them decide whether they can afford to elect Governor a man who stands for anarchy and nihilism, and is defended in it by his supporters.
