UNION SACRAMENTO: FRIDAY. DECElBER g.

by the cry for full representation.
We are in favor Of Governor Gage CALI
ing an extra session. but we are un-
relentingly opposed to the policy of a
few strangers in trying to choke off a
candidate that is in every way the peer
of any other candidate.
A SOLAR PLExUS BLOW.
Red Bluff Sentinel: The passage of
the Republican currency measure
through the House of Representatives.
by the votes Of every Republican and
eleven Democratic members, as well. is
a solar plexus blow to Organism and
the 16 to / fallacy. The prosperity Of
the country and the abundance OF mon
ley to carry on the vast commercial IN
terests that are operated to their full
|capacity to supply the demand at home
and abroad, is proof to any reasonable
man that the free silver claims OF Mr..
Bryan in his campaign speeches were
either untrue or else that gentleman
did not know what he was talking
about. From either view Of the mat
ter, it is safe to say that there can
never be the confidence or enthusiasm
for him that was displayed in 1896.
IDAHO RIOTS.
Los Angeles Times: Mr.. Bartlett, tho
State Auditor of Nevada, has addressed
la letter to Congressman Wilson OF that
State regarding the Idaho riots, which
should be of interest to the entire peo-
pie of the country. Mr.. Bartlett says
that he hopes the resolution of Repre-
sentative Lentz looking to an investi-
cation of the conduct of General Mer-
riam shall be entered upon. as 1t is
earnestly to be desired that the whole
matter be placed before the people.
Among other interesting things. ne
says: THE laboring people OF this state
do not sympathize with the Occur
d'Alene murderers and rioters. and to
a man desire to the end that the Adj
ministration and the Federal troops
may be INDICATED. This is certainly
right and proper. There can be no ques-
ton that the authorities have nothing
to conceal with respect to the ,acuon
taken at Wardner, nothing to apologize
for. and nothing to explain Whatever
was done was for the punishment OF
crime and the preservation OF the pup
lie peace and safety. Although Con-
gresham Lentz's resolution was un-
doubtedly introduced for the purpose
of making capital for the mountebanks
OF labor, an investigation will result IN
the discontinue of the gang, and Mr..
Lentz will be hoist with his own petard.
HOW WILL THEY VOTE?
Marysville Appeal: When financial at
fairs are in such a shape that they are
likely to bring about refunding OF the
national indebtedness at lower rate
of interest; when Government bonds
are being bought up as fast as they
can be obtained; when the circulation
is generously growing, as witness the
SAFE, 0OO,0 added to 1t in the past
three years and half, it ought to be
apparent even to a blind man that the
prosperity the country Is now enjoying
Is genuine and solid. In view of these
thoroughly established evidences OF
good times does it seem likely that the
business community will vote for any
policy which threatens even remotely
to disturb the present very satisfactory
conditions? Will the laboring classes
now enjoying steady work and good
wages deliberately vote in favor of the
opponents of the Republican party,
whose principles and policies are main
ly responsible for the present era of
prosperity? The cause of Organism is
dead
