watched with the greatest caution and
Offset to the best possible advantage.
Whether he used the scimiter or the
broad-sword, he was met with equal
skill by the gentlemen from Albany.
AT times success seemed almost
within his grasp and again his hopes
were dashed to the ground. In com
mittee Of the whole house he scored a
signal victory and his bill was recon-
mended for passage by a decided ma
jority, but when 1t came up in the house
he met defeat by a tie vote. Learned In
all the tactics of the skillful parliament
tartan, Mr.. TOrrey saw an advantage
and voted No. that he might be in a
position to move a reconsideration,
which he at once did. Upon this mo-
ton he scored a victory by a bare ma
jority and fulfilled the mission which
the people Of Fremont had elected him
to perform-the passage Of the agricul-
tural college bill through the house of
representatives. Under the able leader
ship of Colonel Downey the Albany
county delegation had made a splendid
fight. They were defeated but not van
pushed.
The struggle was transferred
to the senate. With that characteristic
keen appreciation Of the great respon-
sibility which the people of Albany had
placed upon him, Senator McGiH's mind
was at once filled with the importance
OF tireless energy and adroit attack.
Sleepless nights were spent in planning
details Of the battle.
His first move was an attempt to
have the bill referred to the committee
on public buildings, but in this he met
defeat and it went TO the committee of
the whole. from which the best report
that could be obtained was no recon-
mendation at all. AS soon as the re-
port of the committee of the whole was
received in the senate, it occurred to
MIR. McGfM for the first time to try a
motion to indefinitely postpone the
measure. II It did NO good, certainly
no harm could be done thereby. Acting
upon the impulse of the moment, he
made the motion and to thts surprise II
carried by a vote Of 8 to Z, three being
absent. One ecourse in parliamentary
tactics was left TO the opposition. A
call OF the senate could have been NOV.

In view OF the act that n people OF
Lander are still active and aggressive
in their efforts to eclre the agricui-
tural college and thus divide n Grip
pie our state university, the following
bit of history, aiken from The Lara
mic Republican OF FEBRUARY Il, 1888,
makes mighty interesting reading at
this time:
1T is almost a universal rule that
great conflicts, military n political,
are turned at the very climax by a
circumstance SO trivial in its nature
as to astonish even the leader Of the
victorious forces. leaving him for a
time almost at a loss to know how to
ccount for his great success.
THE defeat of the Lander agricul-
tural college bill proved no exception
to the rule. For two years the peo-
pie of Fremont county had planned
their campaign. They well understood
that the state would go republican,

SOLID REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

Rightfully, indeed, did the Republican party, in it's platform, denounce such theories and plans, in the following lan- guage:
 We oppose the doctrine of the single tax of which the Democratic nominee for Governor is the apostle, as being soctalis- tic and anarchistic, and the practical workings of which will be to release stocks, bonds, corporations and usurers from taxation and place all the burdens on the farmers and owners of home steads." (Cheers and applause).
 Gentlemen, while I might-had he not carried them into practice-conCede that the personal views of Judge Mcguire as an individual upon the single tax and other revolutionary theories, are imna- terial so far as his private life is con cerned, yet such views, when entertained by a possible chief executive of the State, are of vast importance to the people The mark of the man becomes then the stamp of the State. Upon the character and soundness of the executive officers opin- Ions upon economic and State questions, depends the character of the adminlstra- ton. If the executive be whimsical, his policy will be guided by the flights of his disordered fancy. If the executive share principles common to socialists, the States policy will be directed by those who worship the red flag You cannot separate the biased opinions of an execu- tive from his administration, any more than you can deny logical sequence to the act which follows the casual thought. (Applause).

One of the largest and most enthusias, tic district meetings of the campaign was that held last evening at B'nai Birth Hall under the auspices of the Republicans of the Forty-second and Forty-third Assembly districts. Gen. eral R. H. Warfeld very ably pre- sided, the Knickerbocker quartet and brass band furnished music and the big audience supplied large amount of enthusiasm.
 Chairman Warfeld in modestly stat ing why he was there, said that while he was neither in with ''the push or the pull" he had cast his first vote in the trenches before Petersburg for Lincoln and had conscientiously voted that, way ever since.
 Julius Kahn, candidate for Congress in the Fourth District, in a brief and en- tertaining speech told of the great en- thusiasm shown at all Republican meet ings, and concluded that the crowded hall and confident voters augured well for the success of the party. He regarded this campaign as one of vital importance. It

BURDENS FOR THE FARMER.

On the 23d of April, 1897 Gas appears from Vol 30, No. 32, page 1120, of the Congressional Record), MT. Mcguire, while discussing the Indian appropriation bill in the House, intent upon the single tax scheme of the new Democracy again gave vent to the following view denying the right of private ownership in land. He said:
 The land of every country has ever been, and is, and must forever remain, of natural right, the inaHenable right of the whole people, in spite of anything that may be done to deprive them of It. Governments may and must regulate the use of the land, but they should. and the time is not far distant when ali na- uons will, so regulate the use and treat ment of all land as to preserve inviolate the common, natural, equal rights of all their citizens in such lands"
 Again, gentlemen, the faithful and ef- hcient services which his party has ap- proved were exhibited by Mr Maguire in a speech in the House, March 10, 1S5S, upon the Senate free homestead" amend ment to the bill making appropriations, when he again vehemently expressed his denial of the right of private ownership of land and the owners right to the land s rise in value, which Mr. Mcguire denon- mates, in the language of single-taxism the unearned increment" In the same address before the House MT MaglIIre adopted, for the purposes of his argu- ment, one of the early and self-confessed errors Of Herbert Spencer the ElpoIIc h

upon the theory of popular majorities? Not President nor statesman, from the great Washington to our present dlstin- guished Executive, through all changes and grades of political opinions, has ever challenged that glorious constitution or denied the wisdom of its magniflcent principle of checks and balances in the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the republic. More than a century has elapsed since its adoption Other nations have fallen and new nations have risen in their places. Wars, foreign and do- mestic, have devastated our country; po- litical parties have waged bitter political battles; and yet that constitution re- mained unchanged and dear to the Amer ican heart until the year 1896. In that year the American people for the hrst time heard the rumble of revolt; for the first time in their history they were told that the representative republic was failure; that their liberty was imaginary, and that paternalsm was the only soIu- tion for individual right and individual liberty.
 To undo the work of our American founders was the effort of the fusionists The constitution-burner was ready with his torch, and the life of American rep resentative government depended upon the ballot. Gallantly to our aid came Democratic statesmen and their loyal fol- lowers who loved and believed in the work tf their forefathers-yes, even the Democratic strict constructiontsts Of Fed eral power, seeing the peril dashed val iantly to our assistance. The ballot de- cided the issue and the American consu- tutlOn-Which had dehed the sword ana musket-triumphed over the ballots of the fusionists, through the intelligence of the American electors.

 Fellow citizens, the constitution-de- stroyer is once more in rebellion. The contest of 1896. in crude form, is to be waged again in this State.

THREE OF THE MEN WHO SPOKE

burro was judge, and in which the mocking bird forfeited his eyes on the wager The application of the story was in the fact that the mocking bird com plained of nothing except that it's talents had "been judged by jackass.
 MT Gage spoke strongly in favor of the retention of every foot of soil that had been won by the valor of our soldiers and sailors If the present policy of the Re publican administration were carried out. he said San Francisco would become the great center of commercial enterprise in the Western Hemisphere. The Demo- cratic theory was opposed to such ad- vancement and should not prevail.
 ''I feel confident" he said, from what I have seen and heard, that the Republt- can party candidates will be given the grandest majority ever rolled up in Cali fornia." !"
 Regarding the designation that he was "a railroad hireling." he said he con- sidered it a joke, and asserted that if there was lever an anti-railroad man 1t is he who now addresses you. I never wanted to tear up tracks or burn depots -(cheers)-but I am opposed to the inter- ference of railroad corporations or other corporations in politics. When they do so interfere they should be deprived of their charters. It is cruel wrong and dishonest to hold me up to public gaze as being in any way allied to railroad corporation"
 In conclusion he said that he expected to be elected, and if he was he would give an administration not controlled by or pledged to any infiuence-"one that would be right and just to all my fellow creatures"
 The meeting concluded with three min ute speeches by A. B. Treadwell, Judge Joachimsen, Thomas Graham, Charles A. Low, A. C. Berthier, I. J. Truman, William Deane and Henry N. Clement

and political equality between those classes absolutely impossible, regardless of any nominal declaration of such an equality in statutes or constitutions. We are already nation of landlords, tenants and tramps. The landlords own the country and the others are disaSsociated from its soil, having no more stake in the country than lodgers have in their boarding-house. It thus appears that the monopoly element in our present system of land tenure is not only in con- traventiou of natural rights. but is abso- luteIy destructive of the general happi- ness of mankind, and is wholly incom- patible with the conditions of social and political equality necessary to the per petuation of public goYernment."
