He again nailed the - “pickhandle”” lle, and explained that he was away from Oak- land at the beginning of the strike 'and had nothing whatever to do with the sending of militia to Oakland. When he partially re- stored health would -permit, it was to use his good offices as Mayor to restore good feeling between the strikers and the rail- and to secure the reinstatément of the men who had gone out on strike. The speaker drew a comparison between the attitude of the National Government toward the great coal strikes under Dem- ocratic and under Republican administra- tions. With Cleveland at the head of the National Government there ;were bayo; nets for the strikers. Roosevelt has em- ployed diplomacy instead of bullets, and to his fearlessness and fidelity to public interest is it due that the mines are again in operation, the workingmen employed and the questions at issue in the process of arbitration. He said that the Repub- lican party was the true friend of the workingman, and that to its policies and the laws enacted by it was due the en- viable condition of American’ mechanics as compared with those of the old world. Dr. Pardee assured his auditors that it did not necessarily follow that becausc a man wore a white shirt he was an aris- tocrat. He declared he was a friend of workingmen and that he would prove it to them after his election as Governor. GAINS FRIENDS BY INCIDENT. The sounding of the whistle aummor;lnt the men back to work was the signal for dismounted from the buggy and the men scattered, many of them grasping the candidate’s hand as they passed on the way back to their work. Pardee remained at tne iron works for two hours longer. He visited the various departments and hundreds more of the mechanics who had not had opportunity outside shook his hand and told him they felt keenly the insult placed upon them by the few hoodlum friends of Lane who had created the disturbance at the begin- ning of his speech. It was freely asserted among them that Dr. Pardee had gained friends in their ranks by his manly for- bearance and courage in a trying experi- ence. “There are some of us here who are gentlemen,” said one of the men: to Par- dee. “We are not all Democrats by any means, and the affair of to-day. will assist your canvass among the intelligent voters in the works. We deplore this disgrace- ful occurrence and trust it may never again be repeated.” NOMINEES FOR JUDICIARY. Candidates on the Republican Tickét ‘Worthy of Support. The voters of San Francisco are giving much attention to the judicial ticket. The comments are frequent that the Republi- can nominees for Superior Judge—John Hunt, J. C. B. Hebbard, Carroll Cook and R. B. McClellan—are men of high char- acter and excellent attainments in the law. They will receive the support of Re- publicans and also the support of: many The Republican nominee spoke of his | the closing of the speech. Dr. Pardee | other good citizens who hold that the in- tegrity of the judiclary should be pre- served. It has come to the knowledge of many citizens that the managers of Frank H. Dunne's candidacy for the Superior bench are endeavoring to persuade voters to “plump” for Dunne. This means that one vote is to'be given for Dunne and none to any other judicial candidate of whatever party. This is equivalent to giv- ing four votes to Dumme. This cheap electioneering trick of one candidate to get the better of his associates has been played several times in San Francisco. It is doubtful if it-can be again successfully played. The candidates who are marked for slaughter by the device can always adopt retaliatory measures. In the pres- ent campaign citizens cannot do better than to give their unqualified adhesion to the four Republican nominees . who are known to be men of worth and lawyers of recognized merit. - o OVATION TO LITTLEFIELD.

Pardee. He urged the election of State Senator Glllette as Congressman and paid a glowing tribute to Gillette's ability and energy. Littlefield held the attention of the vast audience for two hours. The wool and fruft interests of Tehama County are deeply interested in protection and Little- field’s clear exposition of the tariff' prob- lem was greatly appreciated.

ANTIOCH, Oct. 29.—Anvils - boomed a generous welcome to’ Samuel M. Short- ridge on 'his arrival in Antioch to-night. The pavilion was crowded and many could not gain admission. Senator C. M.
