The local brass band played inspiring music while cannon were booming from the distant hilltops.

Mr. Gage denounced in unmeasured terms the attacks of his opponent, James G. Maguire, For one hour he held the large audience while he ex- plained well his position on the rail- road question. From the Congressional Record he read the proceedings during the debate over the funding bill and said: “When the Speaker of the House asked ‘Is it the unanimous consent that this amendment to the refunding bill shall be concurred in?' Mr. Maguire sat in his seat and never uttered a word, thereby allowing it to become a law when an objection would have stayed Mr. Gage touched all matters of in- terest to the voters and made friends for himself and his party by his cour- ageous stand in hurling back the impu- tations that he was a railroad hireling and attorney. Mr. Gage In closing made an eloquent appeal to the citizens of old Calaveras to stand by him and his ticket. He promised to be a just and good Governor if elected and to conduct a clean administration to the best of his judgment and ability. The party left for Mokelumne Hill after having luncheon. Mr. Gage was billed to deliver an address there. BARLOW ESSAYS AN EXPLANATION Touches on That Mail- Stuffing Deal. OFFERS A LAME APOLOGY SAYS HE HELPED HUNTINGTON UNWITTINGLY.

He also declared on the sub- ject of “business opportunities” that if he had wanted to make money he would have sat still «nd “let San Pedro harbor g0 to the glimmers.” The foregoing is all the answer Con- gressman Barlow makes in explaining the now famous letter he wrote to J.

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 1T.—A few days ago a number of the voters of High- land undertook the introduction of an in- novation in county politics. It was noth- ing less than a proposition to establish a clvil’ service examination for candidates for non-political county and township offl- cers. It took form in a petition asking the several candidates for the offices of County Assessor and Tax Collector and Justice of the Peace in that precinct to consent to appear before eommittees to be designated by the petitioners for ex- amination touching their qualifications. The son the ofricers named were S0 selected is supposed to have been the fact that all the capdidates for those offices, but one, residents of Highland.

Naturally the petition and the proposed nnova ted no little excitement in polit s the outcome shows, fon among the fusion’ car nd leade They at once raised the cry that it was a Repub- lican trick to discredit the fusion candi- dates. The Republican candidates, after consid- ering the matter, signified their willing- ness to submit to the proposed examina- tion, believing that the people had the right to know if candidates asking their suffrages were qualified. The independent candidates, Instead of accepting the issue, went to their friends among the signers, claiming’ that it was a scheme on the part of the Republican candidates to ridicule them—presumably by exposing thelr ignorance—and pre- vailed upon enough of them |to withdraw their signature from the petition so that they would dare to ignore the request of the committee. This was not accomplished until the let- ters of acceptance of the Republican nom- inees were published, and it leaves the in- dependent candidate e not only of Highland, but of the whole county, In _the light of being in sufficient doubt of their own competency to be un- willing to put ‘the matter to a fair test before a non-partisan committee.

RIVERSIDE, Oct. 17.—Some days ago Maurice Vaca applied to the County Clerk to be registered, but the Clerk re- fused to place Vaca's name on the regis- ter.

STOCKTON, Oct. 17.—Local milkmen are charging that a milkman named Saliner is manufacturing milk, which he is able to sell at a price much lower than the regular milkmen charge for pure milk.

Cleveland’s Roast of Stewart. | |DECLARES FOR HOME RULE | THE INCUMBENT. | Suggests That the Toga Be | Sold to the Highest Bidder. Special Dispatch to The Call. RENO, Nev., Oct. 17.—Hon. A. C. | Cleveland of V’hite Pine opened his in- dependent campaign in favor of home rule for Nevada and against William Stewart for United States Senator, at | McKissick's Opera-house here last | night. The vast assemblage, drawn | from all political parties, manifested its | appreciation of the bald facts presented as well as of Cleveland himself by fre- quent and hearty applause. Mr. Cleveland's address was largely and essentially in favor of home rule for Nevada regardless of the personnel | of her representation, and in this con- nection he suggested that if it were a | fact that the State had no men of suf- ficlent abllity to represent it in Con- | gress “then let us pass a law legalizing the sale of such position as we have | legalized prizefighting in our State. | Let us set aside a day and advertise that on that day we will sell to the highest bidder the position of Senator from the State of Nevada.” But he vouched for the statement that there were hundreds if not thous- ands of citizens of this State more capable to fill the position than was the incumbent. Incidentally Cleveland reviewed the career and record of Senator Stewart at considerable length. He called especial attention to the facts that in 1873 Stew- art.had voted in favor of the demone- tization of silver; that at about the same time Stewart had made speeches in Washington -in favor of the gold standard; that after twenty-two years of service as Senator from Nevada there was no permanent good he had done for the State and he had not put a dollar in to any permanent invest- ment In the State. The speaker’s refer- ence to Stewart’s peccadilll with the wily Mrs. Glass at Washington brought out roars of laughter from the audi- ence. Cleveland explained that he was prompted by what he characterized as “the attacks of the hireling, bulldozing, cowardly and lying press of Nevada” | to make his remarks a trifle more per- sonal than he had intended. Referring to the writer of an article in Saturday morning’s State Journal he said: “The dog who wrote that article (and I apologize to every decent dog in the State) wrote what he knew was not true.” He closed his address with a few verses of doggerel, which depicted in rhyme much of Senator Stewart's life on earth, as well as some of his proba- ble after-life.

The Question of the Appointment of Fusion Election Officers to Be Decided Next Thursday. Oakland Office S8an Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Oct. 17. M. F. Tarpey, chalrman of the Demo- cratic County Central Committee, ap- peared before the Supervisors to-day and asked that body to appoint Democratic election officers from a list which he pre- sented. The officers have been already named in thelr respective districts by the | Supervisors, and there does not appear | to be much desire to make a change at this late date, especially as the names selected were all recommended by Demo- ocrats after much consideration. Mr. Tarpey asked the board to accept his list, and stated that it had been pre- pared in accordance with the District At- torney’s opinion that all the officers of election except ballot clerks must be on the last county assessment roll. Supervisor Wells, the Democratic mem- ber of the board, did not relish Mr. Tar- pey’s request. “I appeared before your committee,” said Mr. Wells, addressing Mr. Tarpey, “‘about a week ago, and all the names given me were four from Niles and six from Mission San Jose. I then had to go to Livermore to get a list of names, as I could wait no longer. I havs made 'a few changes to comply with the law, have gone over the ground thor- oughly, and now that my list is com- plete I cannot see any good reason for making changes.” Supervisor Roeth said that last Monday the secretary of the Democratic County Committee appeared before the Supervis- ors and _said that the list of officers was not ready. “I have since then completed my list,”” said Mr. Roeth, “‘have selected good Democrats, and do not see why any changes should.now be made.” Mr. Tarpey sald the secretary had no euthority to 23»01:*, as he (Tarpey) was alone delegated to act. He said that un- der the Penal Code his committee had a right iganlma the election officers. f(r. lcott rather amused the board b{ stating that some of the names whic Mr. Tarpey had submitted as bclnr good Democrats had been put on_the list by him (Talcott) as being good Republicans. “I think these men are Republicans, and no doubt Mr. Tarpey is equally sure they are Democrats, and I do not see how we are to decide the matter. We will take this question up next Thursday and I will be glad to put on the list as many names as_possible from those submitted by Mr. Tarpe; Bupervisor Mitchell said he received a list of names a week ago, but it was taken from him before he had time. to look at it. He said that he had carefully worked upon this matter and had com- pleted a list of good Democrats and Pop- ulists, and he did not feel inclined to make changes, Supervnsof Church said he had gone to each representative of the Dmocratic committee in the wards in his district and had thus secured the names which he fad placed upon his list. He also ob- ect. to ehsn%l% and the matter will e decided nex ursday morning. —————————— Peddlers’ Protective association.
