interview him and obtain, If possible,
answers to a number of questions that
had been propounded by the Post" and
published in it's columns the week be-
fore. These questions covered all the
real issues of the campaign, as we'll as
some of the fictitious issues and also
many points in Judge Maguire's career.
He declined to answer any of the ques-
tions, but the reporter succeeded in OBJ
tanning the following signed statement
from him:
Il do not care to discuss any question
relating to the campaign in the col
umns of the Evening Post
Il will discuss such questions as ]
may think pertinent and material in my
own way and through channels of my
own choice JAMES G.. MAGUIRE."
This reply the Post has inserted as
the answer to each of the twenty-tw
questions, and the showing makes
Judge Mcguire appear very ridiculous
In fact, his whole campaign is rdicu-
lous, as much so as the campaign OF
Don Quixote.
THEY ARE FOR HIM.
Tulare Register: Whatever claims
may be put forth by Maguire's support
ers, there is no single taxer opposing
him and to man they will look upon
his election as a single tax victory. II
cannot be disputed that he is contin-
ually sending free through the mails
single-tax truck as campaign thunder
| and that in so doing he is abusing his
privileges. The heavy orators support
ing him are single takers and many OF
the papers joining in his cry of mo is
sue" are single takers. Voters cannot
afford to close their eyes to the truth
more than land owners can afford to
bear the entire burden of government.
A MARKED CHANGE.
Los Angeles Express: There has
been during the past week a marked
decrease in the volume of the railroad
howl which the fusionists have been
making the keynote of their campaign
and it is worth while to examine its
cause
When the campaign began Mr.. Gage
the Republican nominee for Governor,
was made the subject of unwarranted
abuse and false and malicious charges,
based upon the assertion that he was
the favored candidate of the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company. There was
nothing upon Wnlch TO base Sucn
charges, and they were at once refuted
by Mr. Gage. But the misrepresenta-
tion continued, the fusionists evidently
believing that in such policy their
last desperate hope rested.
SAME OLD HOWL.
Ukiah Press: The impression Gre
ated in this city by the visit of James
G. Mcguire Saturday evening last was
by no means a fattering one. Those
who attended the meeting went with
the express purpose of hearing the
great single taxer explain his attitude
on the current issues of the day. They
| were disappointed. Mr.. Mcguire did
not refer to silver or explain why he
had deserted the Democratic party in
1887. His address was devoted almost
exclusively to an attack on the South
ern Pacific 1t was the same old rail-
road howl that has become such a
chestnut to the voters of California.
Mcguire did not explain to the audience
what method he would adopt in order
to harass corporations, or what he
would do to improve the industrial con-
dition of the State.

State and Coast Opinions on SUBJ
jects Of Living News
Interest.

Santa Barbara Press: That "suc-
cinct history of Mcguire, as originally
published in the Press" several weeks
ago, is still doing good work in the
present campaign. 1t sets forth so
pointedly the Inconsistency of the
triple-plated candidate for Governor
| that unprejudiced Democrats are COM
PEELED to admit that Mcguire is a poor
representative of their great party. An
other issue of $4,000 of the circulars
will soon be out.
If Mcguire is losing Democratic votes,
he is also losing Populist votes; the
middle e-ofthe-roaders, now that their
candidate Shanahan has been crowded
out of the race, will turn their support
! to Gage. Others, who have become IA
miliar with the true import of single
tax will vote against the confiscation
of their land by casting their ballots for
Gage.
ROUGH FOR THE FARMERS.
| Marysville Appeal All protection
lists are necessarily opponents of the
| single tax The belief in the single
| tax carries with it disbelief in the pol
| icy of protection. Single tax means
| not only the exemption of personal
| property and improvements from tax
alton, but also the abolition of every
| means of raising revenue other than
| the imposition of the one tax upon the
rental value of land. The tariff would
be completely abolished by the adop-
ZION of the tax system Of George and
Mcguire There would be absolute
free trade The barriers of protection
to American industries would be
thrown down, and no duties whatever
imposed upon the products of foreign
labor. So, too, the system of internal
revenue would be abolished, by means
of which alcohol in all it's forms, and
| likewise tobacco, are made to bear
| part of the cost of government.
THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.
| San Jose Mercury: The Importance
| of electing a Republican Legislature
this year cannot be overestimated. The
| forces that are opposed to Republican
protection and sound money have COM
bined for the purpose not only Of Sc
curing control of the State government,
if possible, but also Of sending to the
United States Senate a man who IA
vors free trade, free silver and all the
political isms that are advocated by the
Populist party. For it must be borne
| in mind that the Democratic party,
whatever it may be in the future, is
practically no longer an organization
| in this State; it has been absorbed by
the Populist party, or at least that por
ton of the Populist party which has
received legal recognition, and in case
of the success of fusion the Populists
will dictate concerning the selection of
a United States Senator. But, Demo-
crat or PopuliSt he would be arrayed
against the Administration; he would
add to the free trade numbers in Con-
/ gress, and he would be the advocate of
| policies that are antagonistic to the
prosperity of California.
