THE SILVER MEMS CONVENTION
ATTEMPT TO CROWD OUT JNDE.
SIRABLE MATERIAL.

Cranks, Long or short Haired. Not
Wantcd-There VIII Perhaps Be II
Party of One Issue and Only One.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The convtn-
tion of silver men to be held in St. Louis
on the 27th inst. is to be more in the ua-
ture OF conference than otherwise. The
irnnds of silver have found that. they are
IN bad company. So large an element OF
cranks, populists. socialists and anarch-
lists have been attracted to the silver
banner that the Intelligent friends of the
movtm mcnt are impressed with the feeling
that they must take some steps to put
the party on a footing of its own. So,
instead OF attempting to ride along on
all the crank platforms of the dav and
attempting to get itself upon the pat
form OF one or the other of the great
parties, th' re is disposition among the
leaders to establish a party Of their own,
silver party. AT least that is the pur-
pose OF the people who are calling the
meeting i'll st. Louis next week.
Chairman Warrer, uf the Bimetallc
league. has Just left here tor Ohio, and
will go thence to St. Louis. Senators
Jarvis and Stewart will attend if pos.
slble. Chairman Taubeneck, of the
Peoples party, who has grown tired of
the aggregation OF ,ranks who have
dritted INTO the Poprlist party, will be
there. The feeling among the silver men
is that silver rs an issue is able to stand
alone and indeed will be the chief Issue
in the coming campaign.
The silver people," said a gentleman
who is thoroughly inside the councils.
are impressed with the belief that the
silver question did not get 'air showing
III the last election. because it's cause as
'spoused b. party with so many cranks
and anarchists in it that they could not
vote tor silver without voting for many
Other things that were Objectionable.
his meeting Will be a conference purely,
nut with reference to putting the subject
into politics in the coming campaign in
the bsst and most effective way"

follows:
Los ANGELES, CAL, Dec. 4, 1894.
Chas. Mcfarland, ESQ.,. City Attorney.
DEAR SIR I'm answer to your inquiry
concerning the published interview in
regard to the Spilman stipulation, the
following are the facts in the oase:
About q month before the case was
set for trial you called me into your
Office, handed me copy of the COM
plant fled in the Spilman suit and
asked me to have q survey and map
made of the land described in the COM
plant. returned to my Office. where l
found Mr.. Spilman. He told me that he
was very anxious to have his suit against
the city tried as soon as possible, and
that he would let me have Q blueprint
OF his map. l replied to him to bring
over his map, which he did, on the fol.
lowing day. After showing it to me Mr..
Spilman volunteered to take me up the
river and chow me the land. 1 then
told him that l would give Mr.. Burr
Baseell charge OF the surveys for the
case. and that he should take Bassell up
and snow him the land, and the cornera
thereof, so that he could tie in the same
and plat the land shown upon his
NoPiihuh nldp upUu OuT Clby mHUs
showing Crystal springs and vicinity.
Basaell accompanied Mr.. Spimsn and
was shoyn corners of the 53-acre tract
marked Oh Spilman's map. The field
work necessary to connect two corners
OF this 53 acre tract was commenced O
few days afterward and the work was
plated upon our city map herein before
mentioned. Mr.. Spilman's map showed
anH dtokanaao ~ Eo
tract, and the boundaries of the same
we're tinted and marked with q very
heavy line and the area Of 53 % acres
marked within this border or heavy line.
l assumed that this Spilman map was
correct and plated the land upon the
city map as it was shown upon the
Spilman map, instead of plotting it by
the description in the complaint you
handed me. You having examined the
city map which was made for the pur-
poses Of this suit, and having found
that is showed only SO acres, and hav-
ing been told by me that the 81 acre
tract did not run across the river you
were certainly justified in 60 stating in
your communication TO the city council.
Very respectfully,
J. II. DocKwEILER.
1t fortunately. happens that this mis-
take of the engineer in NJ way preju-
dices the rights OF the city. The stipu-
ls,ion gives the city the right to all Of
the waters of the rivel as we'll as to all
the water in all of the land described in
the complaint which forms q part of its
sources, feeders snd springs. So it will
be seen that the number of acres is i'm
material, and so far as the location OF
the land is concerned it 10 also imma.
terial. In fact, if any attempt lie made
to develop water in the river bottom the
city can make out case for an injunc-
tion much more easily than it could
against development only upon the
dry land. 1 can only add that if had
the case before me in court would do
exactly as / have done.
Very respectfully.
CHAs. d. MotARLASD,
City Attorney.
