STANFORD WOULD NOT DECLINE.
California's Senator Trying to Bag the Alliance Nomination
San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 29.—Senator Leland Stanford through the columns of his personal organ, the Weekly Argus, makes another piteous appeal for a presidential nomination. In a long double-leaded editorial the claim is made that the Farmers' Alliance has already come out in favor of Stanford, and that he will receive the support of the southern states. California and New York are also claimed by the California millionaire. Of the attitude of the southern states the article says: The southern states have a thorough and lively recollection of the spirit of independence and justice with which Senator Stanford voted for the confirmation of Lamar as judge of the United States Supreme Court under Cleveland's administration in spite of the opposition of the bigots of his party. His action upon the force bill is still afresh in the minds of the people. "It is such acts and sentiments as these which stamp the character of the man, and show that he can be depended upon to legislate not for class, but for a whole community. With President Stanford in the White House in March, 1893, the country will have good reason to congratulate itself upon the acquisition of "a chief executive who will carefully guard her honor and her interests."
