George Markham is a half-white leader
of the independents, and less outspoke en-
than Wilcox. He uses diplomatic lam
guage about their intention to upset all
Dole's officials, saying that they will deal
with them with due respect" 1 regret
to have mislaid my clipping of his words.
These people avow their intention, should
the Governor successfully resist the re-
moval of his men, to reduce all their
salaries TO a nominal figure, and so block
the wheels of government. They mean
thoroughgoing mischief. They are most

SOME OF wILCOX'S UTTERANCES.
To illustrate the quality of Wilcox, who
is controlling the Independent party, ap-
pend the following from the Pacific Com
mercial Advertiser, whose statements /
vouch for as substantially correct:
Robert Wilcox bossed the convention
of the Independent party Wednesday. The
delegates were at his beck and call. AT
night before crowded mass meeting he
made speech which. for incendiarism.
conceit and asinnity, exceeded all his pre-
vious efforts. From this speech which
the Advertiser published verbatim yes
terday, are taken at random the follow
ing sentences, which show the man Will
cox as he is:

that equal rights be given to every Ha-

"a RACE CONFLICT PREACHED.

ID preached a race conflict. The great ma

st this view. 1t Is the old slogan Of Kala
