THE INDEPENDENT. SATURDAY, ww iiwn i air JULY 5. mi. Howling Hoodlums- The following from the tried and trusted organ of Democracy, the San Francisco Examiner, of the 2Gth inst., we republish, and lengthy .is it may be ast cur readers to peruse it. 'The eager unanimity with which the Republican and monopoly press attack the Stockton Convention, is sufficient evidence of the good work; it did and the respectability of the influences which controlled it If it had assumed p. negative position on current politics if it had been afraid to speak out f or t' people, the scurvy tools of monop oly would have had nothing but praise for it. But it was .not a silent nor ? negative convention. It went to work )ike a surgeon and cut the ulcers and rotten places out of the body of the par ty.' Ia it surprising, in view of these tilings, that the organs of monopoly' ap jly to that condition every vicious iinil depraved epithet their vile imagin ations can invent! Is it any wonder that they are exhausting the vocabulary of Billingsgate in an effort. 'to vent their spleen upon that gathering of hon est and unflinching Democrats at .Stockton who knew their duty and jdared to do itl Let these scurvy and purchased emissaries cf railroad greed and avarice howl as they will; the peo ple recognize hs splendid work of the convention, and honor the courage and fidelity that dared, in the face of all op posing influences," to vindicate the truth and patriotism of the Democratic party. The Stockton Convention is called by the monopoly press a congregation of hoodlums, and telegrams have been sent Enst denouncing it and endeavor ing to create the false impression that it represented a hoodlum element, and was composed .of men without standing, property or character. The fact is, the contention was in all respects supei ior to anv State convention that had ever before convened in California. In that body theae were nine State senators And seventeen assemblymen, besides a large number of ex-senators and ex. assemblymen. The speaker of the assembly and the president pro tern, of the senate were members; there were men there who had filled the highest positions in the gift of the State, such as governor, United States senator and representative ?n congress;' there were judges and ex -judges of the State courts; fanners owning broad acres and large flocks and herdss, leading merchants and prominent attorneys, miners and me chanics, all representative men, thor oughly in earnest and honest. Tjiey represented fully the public sentiment of the communities from "whence they came, and on almost all questions were practically unanimoiis. They elected as delegates such men as Williim Dunphy and General Thos. J. Clunie of San Francisco; C. F. Fost er of Tehama, now btate senator, and II. M. Larue of Sacramento, speaker of . the legislative assembly and president of the State agricultural society; II. C Wilson, an extensive farmer of Tehama; Dennis Spencer, a prominent attorney and Stats senator from Napa; J. r. Breckenridge, assemblpman and prom inent attorney cf Merced; Judge Niles . Senls, an ex-State senator and leader of the "bar in Ne vada; WYrren B. En glish, State senator and farmer, and ex tensively engaged in business in Contra , Costa; M. F. Tarpey, a prominent wool merchant of Alameda and San Fran cisco; John A. Wright, the well known attorney, who holds a position in the profession second to none of his age in the State; Louis F. Iloltz, at present assessor of San Francisco, who was elected by an overwhelming majority in 1832; Judge Lawrence Archer, ex State senator of Santa Clara and au thor of the famous Archer bill; Morns Schmitt, a capitalist and well known business man; L. J. RoFer of Los An . geles, whose magnificent vineyards and orange groves are famous all over the world; A. P. Butler, a very extensive yiticulturist and one of the largest rai sin piodueers in the United States. The alternates are men of equal stand ing and character. These are the men ' which this so-called hoodlumconrention in its wild frenzy, selected to repre sent the Democracy of California in the national councils of its party. The foregoing we have published in vindication of the cause of Democracy and of the gallant Democrats ,cf our fair s;steState. Coming from such a high source ft is a terrible rebuke to the kid gloved, pomade glued, cologne-stinking, codfish aristocracy that ' have fastened thair pinafores to the coat tail of Stephen J. Field. No gocd Democratic paper, so far, has dene so. Should Jove grow blind and looee every native sense, perhaps a thunderbolt might go estray and strike in the vi cinity of that nin but, impossible; lightning ha3 too much sense. Then the cours of Field's sycophantic, lick spittle organs has secured a solid Pa . - . . I cic coast for Blaine. Thinking peo ple rarely worship strange Gods, more especially if the Standard is chief disciple. Elaine Banners- Says the Pittsburg Post:. If it is true, as stated, that the Republicans propose- to christen their campaign clubs after some of Mr. Blaine's most famous exploits, a fine selection is open to them. Thus we would have of course: The Northern Pacific Bond, Stock and Land Grabbers. Banner Blaine explaining to Fisher how the $25,C00 dollar operation will do for a flyer. The Mulligan Guards. Banner Blaine on his knes begging for the the guilty letters. The Mulligan Letter Carriers. Ban ner Blaine making oil" with the letters obtained by fraud and retained by force. The Little Rock and Foit Smith Battler3. Banner "I shall not prove a deadhead in that enterprise." J. G. Blaine. The Parliamentary Pointers. Ban ner Blaine bargaining his ru'ings as Speaker to land grabbing corporations. Plumed Knight Phalanx. Banner Blsine's cheap substitute detailed for a soft and safe place at home; re verse side, Bluins collecting the bounty from his country. Music, "As we go marching through Maine." The Guano In vincibles. Banner Bully the weak and Cringe to the Strong. The Corporations and Monopoly Condottieri. Banner "Blaine is a live man and will make a live Presi dent.." Jay Gould. Clubs organized on Blaine's princi ples and 'christened as indicated, would not only be an inspiration to his fol lowers, but biographical of their chief. Public Opinion. This admirable journal, publhhed in San Francisco by J. N. Choynski, an accomplished, straightforward Jew, thus wisely speak. Sol llirsch is a candidate for the United States Senate, from Oregon. If Sol. can cither speak or write Eng lish or German, or make himself under stood in Yuedish-Teutsch, we will sup port him. Stick to your Luppenes Sol., ahd do not ape the ways of Fairj Taber and other Senators who have nothing but their money to speak for them. Jews must have more brains than money to entitle them even to a Long Tom vote. The idea of a llirsch having the cheek to step into the shoes of a Nesmith or a G rover! At an othT place it thus " refers to the soul-bought, hide bound, monopo lized, pretended representative in the United States Senate. U. S. Senator Dolph shuold be ashamed of himself to allow his name to appear as trustee of dozens of rail road rascalities. It looks bad, to bay the least. ! Tlio world know, to bo sure, that Dolph was Hippel-Mitchell's and Villard-Mitchell's body servant. These men were ashamed of their names and changed them. Dolph should do the same, or have decency enough not to pose in the United Statas Senate while acting as president and trustee of theiving corporations. We acjree witn Choynski, and as al ways heretofore with all good, sensible, patriotic Jews. Political Points. 4. Ex-Governor Chamberlain, of South Carolina, bolts the Republican platform and ticket. It was Hon. Carl Schurz who wrote of Hon. J. G. Blaine that he "wallowed in spoils like a rhinoceros in an African pool. The Stilwart N. Y. Commercial says: "Clearly, in a campaign ia which no paper in Boston and but one in New York gires Blaine a cordial support, there is much hard work to be done. The National Democratic platform of 1876 referred to "a late Speaker of the House of Representatives market ing hi3 rulings as a presiding officer.'' The Speaker thus referred to was James G. Blaine. The New York Irish American says. The "Plumed Knight" has now reached the summit; of his ambition on hang man's day, and according to the popular superstition, a ticket nominated on hangman's day is a ticket of ill omen. Colonel Cbarles R. Cod man, a Mass achusetts Republican of influence and standing, has bolted Blaine. He has left the Republican party. Colonel Codman was Chairman of the Massa chusetts Republican State Convention last year. It is said that Tom Piatt, Powell Clayton and Elkins, two of them star routers, expect to go into Blaine's Cab inet, should he be elected. He won't be elected, but what a feast for corrupt political rascals of the country it they could only I g t "Jim" in the White House. I Rev. Dr. A. S. Patton gives notice in the Baptist Weekly that his paper can not commend James G. Blaine to its readers as a suitable eantlttfate for the Presidency. "A man who aspires to the Presidential chair should be above the charges which dishonor the official life of Blaine. When we read in the Chicago Re publican platform, says the St. Louis Republican, about the public lauds be ing a heritage of the people" to , be "reserved as far as possible, for small holdings by actual settlers," etc, mem ory takes us back to the time when James G. Blaine, during his session in Congress, proposed the loan by which the Government lost one hundred mill ions of dollars on account of the Pacific loads. The Republican platform makes up in length what it lacks in breadth. E.STESiLY Twine-Binding Harvester. Newest and most complete harvester on the market, with nil the modern iru. provements. The binding apparatus is so simplified that seven parts do the complete work of the forty -seven pieces used in all other binders.
