The San Diego vidette calls our nelghbor
Henry Tea Gage"
General Barnes touching appeal to the
Silver Republicans in his recent pavilion
speech to return to the Hannaites and fall
down and worship the Golden Calf was
nice piece Of rhetoric, but 1t failed Of Its
purpose. Judge Mcguire will not only re-
ceive the votes and support of all Silver
Republicans, but will also receive strong
reinforcements from Republicans whose
stomachs will not digest both Hannaism
and Herr!nism.
Governor Budd is reported as having
made plans for a European trip next year.
He goes upon the advice Of his physicians
who have warned him that he cannot hope
for restored health without change of
habitat and complete rest.
The colored voters Of this state are up in
arms against the Republican nominee for
governor. 1t seems Mr.. Gage has made
unkind and unjust remarks concerning the
negro race. The matter has been permitted
to sleep for long time without notice, hut
now that Mr.. Gage aspires for state honors
and needs the negro vote. the colored peo-
pie propose to teach him thing or two. In
this county clubs Of colored voters have
already been organized and are taking
an active part in the campaign and assist
ing In many ways to bring about the cleo
tiod of Judge Mcguire. A San Diego en-
change says that two-thirds of the colored
votes of that county will be cast for Judge
Mcguire.
Congressman Castle Of the Seventh DIS
trict is making hot campaign. and win
give Mr.. Needham Of Merced a worse rub
than he did Mr.. Bowers two years ago. Mr..
Castle Is billed to speak at San Bcrnar-
dino, Oct. Sth; San Jacnto, Oct. 10th; Per-
ris. Oct. 9TH; Elsinore. Oct. 18th; Corona,
Oct. 18Th. and Ev"- side, Oct. 25th.
The w.gwam on Broadway Is completed
and is now ready for campaign business.
1t has a seating capacity Of $500 and is
amply provided with lights The acoustics
are good and speakers will find no diff
ficulty in making themselves heard. Sat-
urday night there will be another grand
rally. Good speakers will be on hand to
discuss the issues Of the campaign. City
and district nominees will also be given
an opportunity to make short speeches
Beginning with next week the union COM
mittee on speakers promises to have a
rous!ng meeting every night In the week.
Councilman Hutchison is campaigning
the state with Judge Mcguire. Judging
from press dispatches Of his speeches, he
is making favorab BILE impression wherever
he speaks.
General Barnes in his speech at the pa
vilion did not deny the charge that he was
the paid attorney Of the Southern Pacific
company. The proof was too easily OBJ
ta:nable for the general to deny such
notorious fact. Mr.. Estee says the railroad
is in politics. Mr.. Mills. the agent Of the
railroad, through the San Francisco Post,
says the same thing. Now, II the railroad is
In politics, for whom is General Barnes
making speeches? And II he should make
speeches against the interests Of his client,
the Southern Pacific company, how long
could the general hold his job?
The Riverside Press, which has been
throwing bouquets Of forget-me-nots at
our Henry T. Gage. hoe the franhneas TO
say that Judge Mcguire made, al good IN
preston at Riverside The Press has had
an eye-opener. We wonder what 1t will
say about the impression Of Mr.. Gage?
The allied parties have arranged for
joint committee to conduct the local cam
paign. The plan is to give representation
to each party and bring all campaign work
under the jurisdiction Of the several SUBJ
committees, to which are given special
fields Of work. Each party will retain its
organization and run its own affairs. ex-
cept in such matters as require the joint
cooperation Of the others.
The state central committee has placed
the seven southern counties under the jurs-
diction Of auxiliary committee made up
Of members from the three allied parties.
1t will be the duty Of this joint committee
to provide for meetings and speakers in the
various cities In this part Of the state and
to work In harmony with the local COM
mittees.
The Democratic and Peoples parties
have spacious headquarters al the Nadeau
hotel. Judging from the activity Of the
clerks and committeeman. the campa ign
will soon be moving along at high rate
Of speed. The Silver Republicans main
tain their headquarters at their club rooms.
Fred Eaton seems to have the Republican
nomination for mayor all his own way Up
to date he is the only Republican whose
name has got into print or about which
local statesmen have done much gossip
ing.
On the Democratic side no one seems to
have a monopoly of the situation. May or
Snyder, Of course, Is an out-and-out can
didate, and IS making plans to remain at
the old quarters for another two years;
that is, If the new charter does not bounce
him a little sooner.
Councilman Grider is ambitious, very
ambitious. For two years he has pulled
matters and things with so much success
that he has cross-walks hydrants, lights
parks, fire engines and many other miner
conveniences Of city life scattered and
planted upon every street corner and
vacant lot throughout the length and
breadth Of the Sixth ward. His unpre-
cedented success has earned for him the
admiration of every Sixth warder. Nor
has his reputation been permitted to re-
main a local secret. His hosts Of friends
throughout the city have induced him to
stand for mayoralty honors. He has his
