The Republicans Will, However,
Try to Throw Out Populists
! and Have Two Ont of the
Three Judges at the Polls
Assessor tombstone Matter
Touched Upon.
The Democratic candidate for mayor
| will head the official ballots in the
coming election, and the judges of
election will be selected from lists sub
mitted by the Democratic, Republican
| and PopulIst committees to the council.
| These two points were decided at the
! REPUBLICAN caucus held at the mayors
office yesterday. Ten of the Republican
members of the council, Walter Hol-
combe, Gates A. johnson and Corpora
ton Attorney Chamberlain. were
present. At the previous meet
ing the point had been raised
that by certain construction of the gen.
eral election law it might be possible in
! the best interests of the q. O. p. not to
allow the Pc pulIst committee to name a
judge in each precinct, and also to ar
/ range things SO that the Republican
! candidate for mayor could be given the
| head of the ticket.
| These points were left to subcom-
+, mittee, with instructions to consult
| legal talent and submit report. The
!! committee at first thought of securing
an opinion from the attorney general,
but this was abandoned and the cor
poration attorney was requested to give
all opinion.
Corporation Attorney Chamberlain
yesterday informed the caucus that
under the law as he construed 1t the
section relating to the precedence on
the ticket would have to be given to the
Democrats, that party having polled the
largest number of votes at the last cleo
ton held, in November, 1892. The
point made by SOME of the faithful that
| the law could be so construed as to go
back to the last city election was not
! considered good by the city attorney.
MIR. Chamberlain also gave as his
opinion that under the law the COM
mittees FROM the Democratic, Republican
[ and Populist parties were entitled to
send In lists of names from which the
| judges of election might be selected by
the council. These opinions were
! something Of surprise to majority
of the members of the caucus that
in some way have an idea that anything
that does not give the party the .'best
of ito is clearly illegal. The plan, how
ever. of shutting out the list of names
to be sent in by the Populist committee,
and selecting two out of the three judges
in each precinct from the lists submitted
by the Republican committee, has not
been abandoned by any means.
The question of ousting the present
assessor was discussed incidentally, but
as the matter had been left exclusively
to AssembIyman Wolterstorff the caucus
took no action. 1t was stated last even
ing that nothing would be done in the
proposed change of assessors until after
the charges now pending against
Auditor Burns had been disposed
of. Friends of MIR. Wolterstorff
claim that frequent consultations have
been held recently between the auditor
and Mayor Wright. While it Is not
known just what was discussed at these

GERMAN DEMOCRATS.
Enthusiastic Meeting Held on
Front Street


Front Street.
The Eighth Ward German-American
Democratic Branch club held meeting
in Kauder's hall OH Front street Friday
evening. Two hundred good German
American Democrats were present, and
a more enthusiastic crowd hasn't been
seen together for long time. Some
good speeches were delivered by local
talent, but no Endorsements were made,
/ as the more conservative members
thought it best not to indorse anybody,
but to work hard for all Democratic
candidates after they had been nomi-
mated in the convention. Mr.. Theegar-
ten had been invited to give the men,
bers present some good advice regard
ing the Importance of attending the
primaries. etc., which he did in plain
German. After listening to some spon-
taneOus remarks of the president, Mr..
Walther adjourned the meeting until
next Friday.

THE PHoNAToGRAPH.
A Machine that Is Expected to Writ
from the Voice Direct.

Vic NOlCo OlT6COs
From Kate Fields Washington.
A San Francisco man has in
vented a machine which will do
away with typewriters, both in
,struments and operators, if he
succeeds in perfecting his inven-
ton.
The new machine combines the
photograph and the typewriter,
and in looks bears considerable
resemblance to a cash register. On
the front OF the machine are small
electric buttons which you press
before talking into the mouthpiece
projecting from the upper part.
This mouthpiece is connected
with a revolving cylinder which
received impressions in a way
similar to the Edison photograph.
A travelling needle regulates the
position of the impressions on the
cylinder according to the size OF
the paper they are to be reproduce
ed on.
The filled cylinder is placed on
rollere in the lower part Of the
machine. Above the rollers is a
supply Of paper for receiving the
written characters.
There are several mysteries
about the working Of the new in
vention. No ink is used, the writ
ten characters being produced in
a bold round hand by chemica
action. 1t spells entirely by SCUM {
and is unable as yet to cope with
the diphthong, the silent letter
the capital, the semicolon o.
figures, but it will receive the
sounds Of the human voice in any
language except Chinese and re
produce them in plain English
Chirography.
This seemingly fairy tale Gomez
from the financial hacker and thu
inventor-these two men bein,
the only persons who have seel
the wonderful machine.

him particeps criminus.
He asks: "What could he
Judge Noonan) do for any
other vast business interests
in this district?" and proceeds
to answer his own question by
a string Of the silliest sort of
nonsense. For Mr.. Franklln's edi-
tication we will say, the next Con-
gress will be a Republican Con-
gress; Judge Noonan will be just
the man to guard the "Other vast
interests of this district" and not
Gus Houston he will be just the
man to stand up and battle against
the threatened continued warfare
against protection; and not Gus
Houston. And pray tell us what
other "vast interest" is there to
compare with the obstruction of
our wool industry, and our cattle
industry? What is there left that
Democrat can do any good for?
The "vast interests" may mean
railroad legislation in which Gus
is no doubt an expert.
No use, Thos. H. Franklin, you
may preach until the COWS come
home, the people have made up
their minds to elect a better man
than Gus Houston to Congress-
his name is Geo. HI. Noonan.

A GROSS FRAUD.

The Australian ballot system
was grossly and shamefully abused,
evaded and violated, in San Anto-
MO, in the election Of 1892. The
Mexicans came into the polling
room, with a card, on which were
written the names of the ring can
didates, and handed it to the in
spectors, with the request to fix up
their tickets, according to this card.
The report was current at that
time that these cards were In the
handwriting of the grand sachem
of the close corporations of the
court house gang. The cards put
into the hands of the Mexicans,
just before they entered the polling
place, was a gross and shameful
violation of the letter and spirit of
the election law, establishing the
Australian ballot syssem, and the
inspectors, who tolerated it, ought
to have been indicted for mall
feasance and severely punished.
In the coming election this thing
should be promptly checked by the
arrest of such election inspectors
as may wink at and approve it.
