candidate for some office. Events are JUS

The Santa Ana Blade launches the cAnd1-
dacy Of w. R. Guy Of San Diego for the

fessionally made politicians.
All this talk coming from Republican
sources that Charles A. Barlow, present
congressman from this district will run
on q straight Populist ticket as middle
of-the-roader IL rank nonsense. There is
no doubt that Mr.. Barlow ie a candidate to
succeed himself. but even his enemies must
accord to Mr.. Barlow considerable politi-
cal sagacity. Therefore when It Is said
that Mr.. Barlow intends to secure the NOM
ination Of his party and make a single
handed fight they forget what Mr.. Barlow
has not forgotten, that there are not
enough Populiet votes dn this district to
elect him. Mr.. Barlow wants no empty
nomination. He wants the nomination OF
the combined silver forces. He will un-
doubtedly make a fight for It, but if he
does not secure 1t there ie no reason to be-
| l!eve that he will play traitor to the silver
| forces by taking a nomination that means
| defeat not only to himself but to the silver
nominee. Our Republican friends are too
apprehensive. They know that fusion Of
forces means a sure election. They have
mistaken Mr.. Barlow.
