we are all agreed upon the desirability
of attaining that end. The Democratic
party of today follows the wisdom of its
great founder, Thomas Jefferson, when
he said: The monetary unit must stand
on both metals. We not only re-
affirm that party declaration
of the national platform of
'S4, but we go further and denounce
the present Sherman silver law, not
merely as authorizing the coinage of a
silver dollar whose value is constantly
fluctuating, but also as a false pretense
and an artful hindrance of return to free
bi-metallic coinage, and as tending to
produce change from gold to silver
mono-metallism. Thus have we taken
impregnable ground in favor of honest
money. Those who would have run us
into collision with our fellow Democrats
OF other states, and thereby wreck
the Democratic chances OF success
in 1872, have had their plans
frustrated. Our platform unites
all Democrats upon the common
ground of honest bi-metallic coinage.
Whatever method of attaining perfect
bi-metallism the leaders of our party in
their wisdom may decide to recommend
in our national platform next year, the
conditions will then determine and we
may safely leave the matter to their
judgment. We have not permitted diff
ferences of opinion on that question to
intrude in our councils this fall, and
thereby endanger Democratic success in
this state at this critical election"
Governor Hill said the responsibility
for the loss of the worlds fair to New
York was directly traceable to the Re-
publican candidate for governor and the
Republican leader, who dictated and con-
trolled his actions. Fassett deprived
New York of the worlds fair, because
he disliked the local officials. He hated
New York because it was Democratic
city, and desired to humiliate it.
Hill also referred to the rumors that
at least two of the Platt senators, asso-
ciates of Fassett, were spectators in
Chicago real estate, and of course were
against New York.
Frederick r. Coudert and others also
addressed the audience.

rRANsCoNTINENTAL RATES.
Col. Crocker Says 1t is Useless to Ask a
General Reduction.


SAN Francisco, Oct. S.-The commit
tee having charge of the organization of
the Merchants Transcontinental asso-
citation is striving to make the general
meeting to be held at the chamber of
commerce, on the 18th inst, sue
cess. The. committee will meet
daily, commencing on Monday.
Charles F. Crocker, vice-president of
the Southern Pacific company, stated
in an interview today, that if the asso-
citation proposed to make fight for a
lower freight tariff, it would not sue
coed He said the railroads were firmly
bound together in maintaining rates.
1t was hardly probable any company
would dare to violate the compact or
withdraw from the agreement in order
to secure freight from San Francisco. If
any company did consider it worth tax
ing at the loss of its share Of the over
land freight, it would have many OBJ
stacles to overcome.
''In the first place." said Mr.. Croker,
"the Southern Pacific company controls
nearly all the terminal points in Cali
fornia. 1t would refuse to give through
bills of lading to those shipping
by road taking it at the
lowest price, ana IL would charge
local freight rates on all such shipments:
But if the merchants will organize and
appoint capable traffic man at the
head of affairs who will not be
unreasonable, they can accomplish
much good. For instance, take
any commodity where the price
is low, the railroad company would be
perfectly willing upon reasonable I'M
Outstanding to lower the freight in order
to make it profitable for the pro-
Queer to send his goods to market.
AS it stands now, il we reduce the
freight tariff in order to assist
the producer, the constitutions OF
the states through which our lines pass
prohibit us from raising it again at the
next successful season. A good railroad
man. representing the leading freight
shippers of this city, could gain many
concessions if reasonable grounds were
offered for granting them"

THE GREAT RACE.


Both horses were driven by their own
ers. Allerton coquetted in scoring, but
the animals got away in beautiful style
finally, with Nelson closely hugging the
pole head in advance. The pace was
the sort that kills from the start. The
quarter was made in 80 sec
onds "a 2;0S gait, with Nelson
a length in advance. At the half Mel
son was two lengths in advance. Aller-
ton gained length at three. quarters,
but just as they swung into the stretch
went off his feet for an instant, and
Nelson won the heat in 2 13 by an open
length. The crowd went nearly crazy
over the result, but the bookmakers
still retained Allerton as the favorite in
second heat.
ALLERToN WINS A HEAT.
The relative positions of the animals
to the third quarter post was nearly a
repetition of the first. Entering the
home stretch Nelson swerved toward in
the middle of the course and faltered for
a moment. Allerton took advantage of
this and won by half length in 2:l411a.
A PHENOMENAL BURST OF SPEED.
In the third heat Nelson led as before.
At the back Of the stretch Allerton was
half dozen lengths behind. Down the
stretch he pulled up even with Nelson
by phenomenal burst of speed. All
efforts of Nelson's driver to increase
that animals speed were of no avail,
and Allerton easily won by an open
length in 2 :15. In the fourth heat both
drivers held the horses in check, they
being head and head all the home
stretch, when Allerton again showed his
superiority and passed the grand stand
leading by an open length, and winning
the heat and race in 2;l615. In another
attack of good-natured insanity the I'M
mense crowd broke through the fence
and surrounded Allerton, literally cover
ing the stallion and driver with flowers.

The weather was milder than yesterday,
but still chilly enough to preclude any
hope of record-breaking time. The sky
was overcast and once or twice a few drops
of rain fell. The throng gave Nelson
great applause when the two stations
appeared, but Allerton was the favorite
in pools.

In discussing the Nelson-Allerton race
in yesterdays HERALD the sporting edi-
tor wrote: II shall expect Nelson to win
the first two heats and Allerton the next
three and the race"
This prediction was pretty near the
mark as a glance at the account will
show. Nelson made great try for the
second heat, but it was dearly demon
strated that Allerton, while not SO last,
was the better campaigner. Mr.. Nelson
made mistake in going into the match.
He had all to lose and nothing to gain.
Allerton is only fve-year-old and he
would not have lost prestige by defeat
by an older horse. The time made In
the four heats shows that Nelson is not
a repeater.

around with view to picking it up. This simple device is frequently resorted to in countries where conscription is the rule and where deafness or any other in6rmity relieves a man from army service.
 The following is an extract from a letter recently written to citizen of Hartford, Connecticut, by B. Bowser, the United States consul at Sierra Leone: am not a missionary, nor the son of one, but judge the present by the past. The Chris tian nations of the earth must set better example than flooding this country with 1um and gin, and landing it on the Sab bath day at the wharf, within fifty yards of the church. stood on the wharf last Sabbath and saw steamers come into the harbor from Germany and England, and they commenced to land rum and gin. There were over one hundred men em- ployed all day and the customs officers had to be on duty. The native kings are peti- tionipg the government to stop the liquor traffic. It is ruining their people. One king says, if they continue, it will cause him to leave his country and go where the white mans rum can't reach his people.
 With proper legislation and just con- struction of the law, Alaska, says MT. Maurice Kenealy, an editor in that far-dis- tant territory, ''is destined to become one of the richest possessions of the United States" A weighty grievance of the set tiers ia that the government charges them S25O per acre for land, although railroad companies in many of the new States have fixed the price of lands contained in their grants at SIPS per acre. "This," says MT. Kenealy. "prevents persons of limited means from acquiring homes" An effort will be made to have the law of 1884 relating to the acquisition of lands remodelled. An association is now being formed at Tacoma by Swedes, Danes and Norwegians for the purpose of estab- fishing colonies on the Alaska coast ad- jacent to the 'fnland passage" The coun- try is better adapted for stock raising and root crops than the raising of cereals. The timber supply is apparently inex- waters swarm with fish. Hslibut weigh ing 150 pounds have been caught off the Sitka wharf. Warm currents from Japan temper the natural cold of the region, and altogether life is pleasant enough if the settler is not afraid of solitude.
