The Enquirer Of the 26th uls., Coz
tanned the following opinions of Demo
Gratis in this county on the questions at
issue:
J P Spriggs, Prosecu ing Attorney
] don't know who nv choice for Go, :
ernor Is am not in favor OF coalition
with the Nationals | am in favor Of
an old styled platform Am opposed to
resumption; and greenbackism, a. advo
Gated by the Greenback party, but am
Pendleton man on that question.
David Okev. attornev-Am In favor
Of Ewing or Rice Any thing to heat
Grant. II coalition will make The Do.r.
ocra'ic party str niger, let US have il;
other wise, not. am in favor OF saying
in the platform that greenbscks shall
he substituted for National Bank nntes ;
and the unrestricted c,inage Of silver
That is as far as think it policy to 60.
NJ H efIler, Auditorium not IN ia
vnr OF Bishop Any BODY else will do
Think Rice is the strongest candidate -

port our ticket Am notin favor of any
departure from the old Dem ,cratic doc

I o Little. Ex Sheriff Rice will suit
me. II the Nationals want to vote for
our candidates have no objections to
offer. Give Us an old-fashioned Demo-
cratic platform; that OF last year will
answer.
A J Pearson, attorney-I expect we
had better nominate Rec. am willing
Tor coalition-if they come to us. The
Democratic platform Of last year is fully
as far as Democrats should 20 in the di-
reciion Of ihaa'ion.
James R Norris, attorney-I am In
favor OF nominating the man that can
succeed at the election; who that may
he can only be determined about June
4th. after free consultation. As to .
coalition with the Nationals, that must
only be done by making no sacrifice OF
principle, nor the abandonment Of the
"Ohio idea" As to platform, that Of
1878 is good enough
R. X Walton, Probate Judge-On
coalition, my choice is Ewing. ! am In
favor of coalition with the Greenback-

] B Driggs, attorney-Rice is my
first choice, but l am not opposed to

compromisingly to any coalition. Have
no objection to the platform ot last year,
but think the Resumption Act shouli
have fair trial. Am in favor OF the
repeal Of the acts nov under discussion

question ought to be definitely arranged
Our currency ought to have specie ba-

H R West, publisher Of the Spirit Of
Democracy-Rice is the most available
candidate for Governor. NJ coalition,
except upon . simon-rure Democratic
platform. Coinage OF silver to be unre.

EET The Jackson STANDARD, one of

wT The Jackson STANDARD, one of
the newsiest and most independent of
Republican papers Of this 5 ate, says ::
"The Cincinnati Commercial says tina,
the extra session of Congress is costing
ahou, $4,000 per day, and the Gazette
says that the extra session has already
cost vast sum, we forget how much,
hut some two or three hundred thousand
dollars. NV, as each member OF Cor L.
Rress gets $4,000 per year, whether Cor.
gress he in session one day or 365 days,

Good Prospects for General Legis-
lation--Mr. Warmers Coinage Bill
Likely to Break Party Lines.
philadelphia Times.j

Likely co Break Party Lines.
There is . strong disposition to GO
into general legislation and to prolong
the session, and many persons talk this
evening OF session lasting into August.
The House determined to take up Mf.
Warmers Silver BIZ next Saturday, but
the question will come up again to-mor-
row again. This bill repeals the statutes
which in 1873 made the gold dollar the
unit of value, established the b. ne-
tallic or double standard Of gold and
silver, making 25 $40 grains OF gold the
gold standard Of value and 4l24 grains
OF silver the silver standard OF value !;
authorizes the Secretary OF the Treasu-
ry to receive deposits Of gold or silver
coin and gold or silver bullion in sums
not less than &20,a to issue certificates
therefor in denomination not less than
IS each, to correspond with the demon.
nation of United States notes: and the
certificates representing coin in the
Treasury may be used in the payment Of
interest on the public deb'. It aIso per.
mits any owner OF silver bullion to d, :
posit it in any United States mint to be
formed into bars or coined into standard
silver dolla's Of 4l24 grains troy for his
benefit, and provides that no deposit OF
silver for other coinage OF silver shall
be received. 1t makes trade dollars ex-
changeable for legal standard dollars
when presented at any United States
mint IN sums OF not less than ESQ, and
the last section Of the bill requests the
President Of the United States to invite
an international convention for the pur-
pose OF fixing the relative value between
gold and silver.
On this bill, if it comes before the
House for debate, as 10 bow probable,
there will be division ia both parties.
and the discussion is therefore likely TO
do good rather than HARM

police aud detectives were at once hur-

1t has ever been predlcated by
scientists (?l that because colors
could never be reproduced by the
process of photography that 1t had
no objective existence, and that
it was all sensation as produced by
the refrangibility of light-that the
refracted rays striking against the
retina were communicated by the
optic nerve to the brain, and that
the rapidity with which these wave
rays struck the the retina produced
the sensation known to us as red,
blue, etc. Those, however, who de-
sire to see old ideas exploded and
new truths demonstrated should
call at No. s Also street, the

enter the Quartormaster's Department.

The Late Thomas B. Waae.

Wo take the following bio
graphical sketch of Thomas b
Wade. who died at the County
Hospital yesterday, from cancer o
the stomach, from yesterdays
Evening Erpress.:
The death of Thomas Is. Wade, q
pioneer of California and q Veteran
of the Mexican War, occurred this
morning at the County Hospital.
The deceased was extensively
known in ills State, and almost
universally known here. He came
to California in 1919, and we first
knew him at Moke!umne Hill,
where he was for many
years the leading merchant.
He subsequently removed to Pla-
cerville, of which he was q promi.
nent citizen for many years, at one
time filling the Office of Mayor of
the city. Thence he drifted over
to Washoe and into the Pacific
Coast Territories, meeting with
the usual checkered fortune
of pioneers, until he came
here, some five years ago.
For q time he was a leading con-
tractor here on our public works
Mr.. Wade served in Worth's bri.
gade during the Mexican war. He
was at the storming of Monterey,
took part in the battle of Cerro
Gordo, Moline del Rey and Che
pultapec. He was wounded in the
last named action, but recovered
sufficiently to take part In the cap
ture of the city of Mexico, having
been one of the heroes at the storm
ing Of the Belen Gate. Mr.. Wade
was man of some culture and of
considerable native ability. In his
prime he was clear headed, saga
cious and indomitable. His business
capacity was at one time of the
first order. Reverses and misfor.
tunes, however, blunted his ambi-
ton and dimmed the brightness Of
his intellect. Like many of the
pioneers, he relaxed his energies
and allowed himself to drift with
the tide. Unable to recover his
ground, he lost courage and ceased
to struggle with the world. But he
never lost his pride, and the gentle
man shone through his actions and
his conversation at all times. He
has run the whole gamut of pioneer
life, sounding all its notes, and full.
filling destiny which, alas, has
numberless counterparts in the
history of the men who founded
this State. May he meet with that
peace and happiness in the new
life he failed to realize in this.
His funeral will take place under
the auspices of the Veterans of the
Mexican War, from Mr.. Ponet's
rooms, at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
