insisted on selling, realized $1,000, and spent

Stage of Argument.
The two last witnesses In the Bruner
trial appeared in court yesterday morning.
and argument was sfterward commenced.
W. s. Zeiin, member of the Wallace
Grand Jury, testified that no changes had
been made in his notes Of Burners testi-
mony, except at the time they were taken in
the jury-room.

show that a critical question to which
Bruner had answered no. viz, ''Do you

had been with Bruner the whole OF Febru-

They came down together from Sacra-
mento. went to the Grand Hotel snd after
ward took the cars for the Cliff House.
The opening argument for the prosecution
was made by w. A. Beatty after recess.
He marshaled the most telling points in
the evidence, calling special attention TO
the clear evidence Of Ottinger, an unwilling
witness which had not been contradicted,
but In many material points corr0bOTated
by the evidence. He ridiculed the defense
of an albi set up by the defendant, after
ward to be destroyed by his own admission
on the stand.
The counsel referred to the length OF the
trial in connection with the difficulty of
obtaining absolute proof of guilt in such an
insidiOus form Of felony as bribery, which,
however, menaced the very life of legisla-
tive justice.
To-day Attorney Reddy will reply.

The Gazette is Republican Journal. but
it would just little bit rather see Old Nick
himself, hoofs, horns, tail and all, in the
United States Senate from California than
to scent from near OF far the odor Of the
corrupting presence of Mike de Young pol
luting the Senate chamber by his presence
therein. 1t is TO be hoped that the candi-
dates for the Legislature on the Republican
ticket are as free from ENHANCEMENT with
Mike as q frog is destitute OF feathers. Did
we think or have reason to believe other
wise they would not have the support OF the
Gazette. Each and every candidate knows
that were he to vote for De Young he would
be misrepresentation OF the sentiments of
the entire people of Sacramento County.
Were United States Senators elected by
direct vote OF the people Nike de Young
might possibly, through that feilow-feeling
which makes us wOndrous kind. get the
vote of the night-cart man, but that would
be his only vote in Sacramento County.

STYLISH BALL-PLAYERS.
The Oakland Team to Travel in q PaIa
Car.


Those who wish to mingle In good go
eiety for short time at greatly reduced
rates will be given an opportunity TO do so
this week. Colonel I. p. Robinson, the
Tall Taiker Of Tamalpais. has at last struck
a winning streak. and nothing Is too good
for his players.
This week the colonel has engaged spe-
cial palace car to transport himself and ten
head OF performing ball-players to Los An
geles. There is also room in the car for
twenty head of ball cranks, who will thus
be given an opportunity of being somebody
for little while by travelling with team
Of winners.
Robinson has fixed the fare for the round
trip at S25, thus placing good society within
the reach Of all.
No one with the price can afford TO miss
this unparalleled chance for improving bis
social standing.
At Los Angeles the crowd will be met
with brass band aud other demonstrations.
Fifteen berths have already been sold, leav-
ing nv, to be disposed of. Those DESTROYS
of securing accommodations before IL is
eyerlastingly too late should communicate
with the colonel to-day at his prune re-
pOsitory, Bay and Filbert streets. The
train leaves this evening, and Will return

HOTner and German.

HIS Only Advocate.

A vote for Rankin for Senator and Wag-
ner for Assemblyman is vote for Mike
de Young for United States Senator. Aud
don't you forget lt.-Democrat.
1t seems about as natural for Demo-
cratic journal to lie when it is supposed
that point can be gained by 1t as it is to
breathe There is no portion of the State
more strongly opposed 10 De Young for
United States Senator than Contra Costa,
ana both Mr.. Rankin and Mr.. Wagner are
in full accord with the prevailing senti-
ment, as is well known by all who have
c0nversed with these gentlemen. The only
advocacy of De Young's claim that we have
seen or heard in this county has appeared
in the Democratic organ, and 1t is possible
that an understanding exists TO reward him
for sacrificing Sargent and making Hearst
Senator.

Numerous controversies have existed be-
tween the matchmakers since the corner
was formed. Il wound up last May in Gas
kin suing New bauer to comply with the
contract made when the pool was formed.
Superior Judge CARRIER decided In favor of
Newbauer by reason of the fact that pools
and trusts are illegal.
Some time after this the parties made a
private settlement, and Gaskin signed a
receipt stating that Newbauer i CO. were
no longer obligated to him in any way
For several weeks Gaskin has been de-
handing a further settlement from the firm.
When told that he would be paid no more
money ne went to the Office of Newbauer e.
Co. and. obtaining the receipt he had signed,
wrote these words upon it; This is n
fraud. / have never received sufficient
money for my interest"
Failing TO obtain any more money Gaskin
began making threats to kill Newbauer
Last Saturday night Gaskin wrote letters to
his wife and brother, stating that he in
tended to kill his enemies and himself.
Then he put two pistols in his hip pockets
and started forth in search of his old enemy.
Fortunately the men did not meet
NewDauer complained 10 the police yes
terdsy and caused Detective Hogan to ar
rest Gaskin on charge Of threats against
life.
Upon being locked up Gaskin said he had
intended to kill Newbauer and himself, but
after consulting friends had changed his
mind. He had suffered great losses in
stocks and became frenzied when Newbauer
refused to pay what was justly due him.
There had been big money, he said, in the
match combine. but he had been gradually
frozen out. His suit for $4,000 was COM

1t Is y Piece of Infamy.
RedlandS Facts

The object of De Young in debauchiug
the politics of San Bernardino County
through E. C. Seymour and others Is to Sc
cure control of the Legislature, so that he
can be sent to the United States Senate. II
is piece of infamy as ignoble as any ever
perpetrated to the disgrace of the fair name
Of California. That man of the character
Of Nike de Young should have the audacty
to put himself forward as purchaser Of q
seat in the Senate chamber of the United
States passeth understanding. 1t is mat
ter OF public notoriety that De Young in
herted the Chronicle from his intelligent
brother, that he has no editorial brains ex-
cept those be hires by the month. that the
business end as well as the editorial end of
his paper is conducted by proxy.
With confidence In the voters of San
BrrnardinO County in view of the attempt
TO debauch the county, and through the
county the State, we have no fear of the
election of this man. +. C. Seymour will
never carry his load of infamy to the Senate
chamber from San Bernardino County.

1t Is Am using z.


The San Francisco Chronicle is crashing
its teeth because there is disposition on
the part OF the average Republican to prefer
most any Democrat to Mike de Young for
Senator This is indeed amusing. Mike,
like our Charley. has no right to run for
Office, for il they do they are apt to have a
little history RULED on them to their dis
comfort. A few years ago, not too long to
be forgotten, gentleman well known and
honored in California. and possessing almost
world wide reputation for industry, ability
and integrity, aspired to be elected United
States Senator. Mike was against him and
to accomplish the downfall of Mr.. Sargent
be sent out threatening letters to every nom-
inee OF the Republican party on the legs-
latiye ticket that the great Mike would
govern himself accordingly" if the eandi-
dates did not pledge themselves TO oppose
Sargent.
1t was through Mr.. de Young's efforts
that the Republican ticket has frequently
lost in whole or in part, as the political his
tory Of this State will show. is he the one
now to cry aloud at the same work that he
taught could DO done? Mike, however. is
not disheartened. He claims that Kelly and
Crimmins of San Francisco are able to de-
liver that eity's delegation to him, and that
our boss will deliver The delegation from
Santa Clara Cnunty. That Mike has the
promise and that IL was made before these
men were nominated there can be no doubt.
Is there any man In the State of California
that can show anything Mike de Young ever
did for the Republican party, except he was
well paid for 1t? while scores of instances
can be given where he has knitted the ticket
from personal spite, and to-day he has no
supporters except those Influenced by cow
ardee or pelf Are the Republicans of
Santa Clara County going to elect men SIM
ply to vote for Nike de Young? The tax
