A. P. A. AND M'KINLEY.
The Supreme Council Will Repudiate the
 Action Taken Against Mckinley.

The Supreme Council Will Repudiate the
 Action Taken Against Mckinley.
 Washington, May 13.-Every indication points to an absolute repudiation by the supreme council of the American Protect i've association, now in session in this city, of the action taken by the execu- tive committee of the advisory board against McKinleys candidacy. There 1las been much feeling expressed over the matter, and the executive committee has n cen severely criticised. But the mem- a,ers of that body have not given any ,dications of backing down, but meet ths criticisms with intimations that those composing the supreme council are en- deavoring to get In line with his friends since Mckinley has shown such strength.
 The trouble in the organization has been intensified by the action of the ex- ecutive committee of the advisory board this evening in presenting to the board a report adhering to it's antl-McKinley decision. It is likely that the advisory board will censure the executive commit tee. This will take the question of Me- Kinley's repudiation out of the hands of the supreme council and will allow the advisory board to make another re- port to the convention.
 The most important matter before the convention of the supreme council today was the reading of the annual message of Supreme President Traynor. It took E. H. Dunbar of Boston, the supreme secre- tary of state, an hour and three-quarters to deliver 1t. Most of the message. dealt with the internal business affairs of the order such as the resolutions of local and supreme councils and the authority of one over the other.
 Other reports were also read That of Supreme Secretary Beatty said that 963 charters for new councils had been is- sued during the past year.

ELI WAS GUILTY,
But He Had Cleaned Up His Yard and
So Escaped.

The case of Eli Mayo, charged with
putting refuse from vault upon an open
lot between p and Q, Fifth and Sixth
streets, came I'D in the Police Court
yesterday. Acting Sanitary Inspector
Farren said he was notified that Mayo
had put the stuff on the lot. He went
there and found the stencil very bad.
He notified Mayo that it must be re-
moved, and he said he would have it
done as soon as possible. He had 1t re-
moved day or two afterward.
Mayo said that Coachman, one of his
tenants, moved the dirt on the lot, al
though he had told him not to. When
the Sanitary Inspector told him it must
be moved, he told Coachman that he
must take it away The dirt was taken
from the top Of an old vault, but was
not offensive. He had it removed a
couple of days afterward.
The court said that the matter was
undoubtedly offensive, and he should
find the defendant guilty, but as the
yard was cleaned up, he would suspend

1.-THE Republican party is unre-

the enactment Of the law providing
for the resumption Of specie pay
ment in 1870; since then every dol
lar has been as good as gold.
I'VE are unalterably opposed to
every measure calculated to debase
our currency or impair the credit Of
our country. We are, therefore, op-
posed to the free coinage of silver,
except by international agreement
with the leading commercial nations
Of the world, WHICH WE PLEDGE
OURSELVES TO PROMOTE; and
until such agreement can be OBJ
tanned, the existing gold standard
must be preserved. All our silver
and paper currency must be main
tanned at parity with gold, and we
favor all measures designed to
maintain inviola BILE the obligations of
the United States and all our money,
whether coin or paper, at the pres
ent standard, the standard Of the

DEMOCRATS HOWLING MAD.
They Threatened MandamuS Proceedings
Yesterday
Against Secretary of State Brown
The State Ballot Will be Cor
titled To-Day.

The Democrats and Populists, who
made separate nominations for Presi-
Dental Electors, seemed determined
to occupy but one place on the
State ballot to be used at the coming
election for their Presidential Electors.
After the Democrats had named their
Electors the Populists held conven-
ton and named the same men. Now
the Democrats are after Secretary of
State Brown red-eyed with fury, de-
manding that their candidates names
be inserted only in one place on the
ballot, as -Populist nom
ineeS.
The form of the ballot must be pro-
mulgated by the Secretary Of State, and
he having refused the demand of the
Democrats, the leaders of that party
are trying to force him to give them
what they want, and what he holds they
are not entitled to.
The order in which the Secretary OF
State has decided to certify the ballot
is under the following headings:
REPUBLICAN ELECTORS.
PEOPLES PARTY ELECTORS.
DEMOCRATIC ELECTORS.
PROHIBITIONIST ELECTORS.
NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC ELEC-
TORS.
SOCIALIST LABOR ELECTORS.
NATIONAL ELECTORS.
Chairman Alvord of the Democratic
State Committee yesterday asked Sec
retary of State Brown by telephone il
he was going to give the National
Democratic Electors a place on the
ballot. CThe Democrats hold that the
Sound Money or National Democrats
are not entitled thereto)
Mr.. Brown responded that he was.
Alvord then asked if he intended
certifying to De Vries as the Populist
nominee for Congress in the Second Dis
trict, to which Mr.. Brown replied that
he was not.
The Secretary of State was then asked
If he would go to San Francisco to-day
(Thursday) and allow the Democratic
Committee to serve papers on him to
appear before the Supreme Court in
mandamus case.
Mr.. Brown replied that he could not
do so, as he must be in his office to
certify to the form of ballot.
Then said Chairman Alvord I'VE
will take steps to enjoin you from GER
tifying to the term National Demo-
cratic Electors And we will send a
messenger to Sacramento tonight with
the papers in a mandamus suit to COM
pel you to certify to De Vries as the
nominee Of the Populist party for Con-
gresham in the Second District.
Alvord further said they would en-
deavor to compel Secretary Brown to
embrace in one group and under one
heading as the -POpulist
Electors the nominees of the Democratic
and Populist parties.
Secretary of State Brown waited in
his office until midnight last night to
permit these promised processes to be
served on him, but no messenger came,
although three railroad trains arrived
from San Francisco.
Thus the matter stands at the present
time, and the presumption is that to-
day the Secretary will perform what he
regards as his official duty In certify
ing to the form Of ballot as determined
on by him.
Whether or not the Democratic State
Committee has decided to abandon it's
demand, or that steps Will be taken this
morning to prevent Mr.. Brown from
following out his purpose, remains to
