party and its traditions. and its galaxy
of great names that since 81 has been
the stars of guidance of this republic

mo. that's dead wrong. I am Judge
Magure's nightmare. He does not talk
about Gage, but talks of me. He has
called me a kind of mobocrat; that in

guard as a soldier when I so melted the
mob. Mr. Mcguire may have believed this

1.-The Examiner says that a year ago !
spoke we'll of him. I am glad did, for at
that time he had not stated in Congress
that the European anarchists were true
specimens Of American Democracy.
Il did not say. like the Examiner. that
the Democrats are nihilists because they
are weak enough to follow Populism. But
I have often wondered at the remarkable
absorption of the Democrats by the Pop
ulists, or vice versa.
Il wonder how a good Populist feels
when he attends one of Maguire's meet
ings? For he said he approved the Popu-
list platform and would devote himself to
the success of those principles. Yet he
has been on the stump a month, and up
to this hour not once alluded to a single
Populistic doctrine. He has talked moth

people are as ignorant now as to what he
stands for as ever.
THE Populist has listened, but has
heard nothing yet as to the beauties of a
Government conducted on Populistic
principles. In this campaign the Repub-

stood-upon the theory of protection to
American production and American la
Dor. 1t stands upon the doctrine of gen
eral education and the uplifting of the
people, and first, last and all the time it
will stand for union

alleged parties the speaker branded as
being destructive to pure politics and
ruinous to- the spirit of the republic and
an outrage to public decency.
IF Henry T. Gage is elected Governor"
said General Barnes, I'VE all know what
he stands for and what he will do. Every
day he is more and more admired for his
directness and simplicity of character and
clear-cut principles. He will make an
honest Governor for California"
The speaker reprimanded the Democ-
racy for not standing by Grover Cleve-
lsnd-"the only man." said he" who had
the courage, since the days of the war,
to lift the party out of the mire by OPP
posing the free and unlimited coinage of
