REHEARING GRANTED.
The Case of State Expert Lewis Has
Been Resuscitated.

A few weeks since the Supreme
Court reversed the Judgment Of the Su-
perior Court Of this county granting
Thomas A. Lewis writ of mandate
directing Controller Colgan to allow
Lewis salary as expert to the State
Board Of Examiners.
The bill creating the Office Of expert
was refused passage by the Legisla-
ture, but the item Of salary for the po-
sition remained in the general appro-
priation bill. Attorney General Fitz-
gerald held that it was the Controllers
duty to draw monthly warrants in ia
vor Of Lewis for his salary, he having
been appointed as expert by the Board
of Examiners.
Since the reversal of the judgment by
the Supreme Court the Attorney-Gen-
eral has managed to obtain a rehearing
by that tribunal. The recent decision
was by Harrison, Garoutte and Van
Fleet

vile.
An invitation was extended to Rev.

BOILER CONTRACT.
City Trustees Had a Right to Award
1t to the Risdon Works.

Judge Catlin has dismissed the writ
Of mandate asked by the Sterling Com
pany of Chicago to compel the City
Trustees to annul their contract with
the Risdon Iron Works Of San Fran
cisco for new boilers for the Water
Works and award it to them (the Ster-
ling Company.
In sustaining the demurrer to the Pc
ution Judge Catlin said the Trustees
had the right to reject any or all bids.
Messrs. Devlin & Devlin, counsel for
the Sterling Company, excepted to the
courts order. The petitioners were al
lowed ten days in which to file an
amended petition should they elect so
to do.
The record-union., 1896-06-19

the National Convention be instructed
to vote as a unit upon all questions.
The resolution provoked a storm of
protests, and Mr.. Brooks, in an i'm
passioned speech, advocated his reso-
luton, saying that the convention had
declared for free silver unequivocally
and as some gold bugs might have
crept in, it was well to provide against
any votes that would give the country
the idea that California was divided on
the question
George E. Church of Fresno said that
it seemed to him that the sentiment of
the conventions instructions were
enough, and that none Of the delegates
would stultify themselves by voting
contrary to them after accepting their
credentials. There were other issues,
however, on which delegates should be
allowed to think for themselves and be
allowed little latitude. If he wanted
to vote for Boies or Pattison, those
grand old Democrats, he should be al
lowed to do So
A San Francisco delegate asked how
he could vote for Pattison, who had
been indorsed by his State on gold
platform
Church said that, as much as he loved
Pattison, he would not vote for him If
he was not for silver. He would not so
stultify himself. (Applause)
Burke of Santa Cruz offered an
amendment to the effect that the dele
cation was instructed ITO vote as a
unit on all questions affecting finance
and candidates where the money stand
ard was concerned, and the amend
nlent was accepted by Burke.
Burke said he knew that Foote and
ether prominent delegates would vote
as instructed, but there were others
among the delegates whom he did not
know, and he wanted to make the
matter safe, so that he could feel sure
that the will of the convention would
be carried out
The resolution as amended was
adopted.
CUBAN REVOLUTIONISTS.
Then the delegate who had called up
the Cuban resolution insisted on it's
being read. This caused a small storm
of opposition, the general sentiment
OF the convention appearing to be
voiced in the expression of a big dele
gate from Shasta, who said:
W1ldl III CQuuQeT nave we got TO DO
with Cuba?'
However, the question was properly
put and promptly voted down.
FINS
The convention was on it's last legs.
The gavel in Chairman Gould's hand
still waggled up and down, but it was
very feeble waggle. Every man had
his hat on and was only waiting a
chance to make grand rush for the
nearest refreshment stand
delegate i'm the back part of the
hall who had not said a word through
out the entire session of the conven-
tion, and who wanted to get ON rec
ord as a shining light" said he had
resolution to present. He was groaned
down. He was evidently sorry he had
said anything, for he Immediately
dropped out Of sight.
Then the gavel in Chairman Gould S
hand arose with an expiring effort,
paused in the air-trembled-hesita ared
moved, and fell with a clang. It was
l1:l1 O'Clock a. m, and the Democratic
State Convention stood adjourned sine
die.
Then at the bottom Of the last page
of the voluminous stack Of minutes,
Secretary Edwin F. Smith, giving his
pencil a grandiloquent flourish, wrote
the single word "Finis," and it was
ended.

JETER NOMINATED.

The next order of business being the
rof,q:r.a ton for a candidate for Lieuten-
ssat-Governor, Chairman Gould ex-
plafned that some doubt had arisen as
to whether a vacancy would exist and
tne matter was now before the Supreme
Court and would shortly be decided by
that body In view of the fact he in
auired whether it would not be wise to
leave the matter in the hands of the
State Central Committee, empowering
hat body to appoint a nominee for the
position should the decision Of the court
be adverse to The claim Of the present
Lieutenant Governor, William T. Jeter
Of Santa Cruz.
A resolution was accordingly adopted
empowering the State Central Commit
tee to furnish nominee If necessary
but the resolution was almost imme
diaItely rescinded by the convention, and
William I. Jeter of Santa Cruz was
nominated by acclamation. The action
was taken because the question arose as
TO whether the State Central Committee
could legally place a candidate in the
field after a State Convention had re-
fused to do so.
VOTES OF THANKS.
Resolutions were then adopted re-
turning thanks to Chairman Gould for
the able and efficient manner in which
he had conducted the proceedings Of
the convention, and to the citizens of
Sacramento for their generous hospi-
tality.
An attempt was here made to get a
resolution before the convention ex-
pressing sympathy for the Cuban rev.
olutionists, but the Chairman ruled it
out on the ground that there was other
business before the convention.

soBERLY THINK ABOUT IT.

After you have entered the booth
rext Tuesday, voted and retired you
have then registered your desire of GER
tain policies for four years. 1t may be
true that you will register desire for
a policy which you will regret before
half q year. but that will not make the
slightest difference. AS you vote, so
shall you leap. 1t was not six months
after you elected Cleveland until you
saw your mistake and longed to rect
fly it. But you have had to suffer four
years. That four years are about up.
What was the GROWING mistake Of
Cleveland's administration? The
threat of free trade. That was the mis-
take OF ever electing Cleveland. That
was what closed up factories and
threw men out of work. The threat OF
free trade brought the country panic
and Coxey's army; brought misery and
want and misfortune.
This has been the result OF merely the
shadow of free trade. If the heady
young Mr.. Bryan should be elected,
tbs nation would get the substance OF
free trade and in very short order. What
terrors it would bring the imagination
cannot conjure up. The experience IT.
self once would be beyond description.
But every intelligent man under
stands that. What he must remember
next Tuesday is that the vote he puts
in the ballot box is an invitation for
certain policy for the length of four
years. If today he thinks that he should
condemn a protective tariff for another
four years, let him sit down and think
soberly about it and try to see where
that course would be calamitous. For
so sure as there is sun in the sky just
so surely would calamity follow the
maintainence of the Democratic party
in mower, at this time.

IF BRYAN. WHAT

Does any reader of the Eagle this
morning think he could approximate
with a guess what would happen fol-
lowing an announcement on next
Wednesday morning that William j..
Bryan of Nebraska had been elected
president of the United States, with 4
| silver congress at his back, what
would happen to the L. S. treasury re-
serve of $I00,000,000 in gold. What
would happen to every business center
on this continent? What would happen
to every bank in the United States?
What would happen to every CONNER
cal interest, TO every industrial and cor
porate enterprise, and to every debtor
and creditor the broad land over? Our
guess is that nobody could guess the re-
suit. That there would be a universal
pause, a general halt, in which every
body would hold their breath in Sus-
pense, there is not the least doubt, but
beyond that it would be useless 10
guess.
Yet there are some facts, potent, and
which all may know. According TO the
last official report Of the United States
treasurer there were 1872 banks in this
country, with S,S04. $50 depoSitorS own
ing the deposits of $4,SS6, $50, 331, in
which enormous sum one-third Of the
population of the country have an in
terest, and which sum is on gold basis
that is, worth just SO much gold. What
ever else might happen in the way of
runs on banks and bank collapses. in
the way of a panic and general ruin
and paralysis. all this vast sum, three
fourths of which is out on loan. would
slump in value from gold bullion ba-
sis TO 4 silver bullion basis. What sill
yer bullion would be worth nobody
knows. Fer the time being. at least,
there would be no credit, national, cor
p0rate or individual. Debtors couldn't
pay the banks nor the banks their de-
poSitorS What else would follow no
man can tell. Everybody would try to
avoid a panic, but nobody would be
able TO stop or stay the mad sweep of
destruction. Until things had settled
down TO a silver basis there would be
no such thing as credit or business en-
terpriSe of any character. Even the
wheels of the courts would be forced to
stand still through the pressure of a
distracted public opinion Foreclosures
and judgments would not issue, or fail
if attempted to be enforced. There
would be universal call for the return
of loans TO banks and a universal re-
fusal 10 respond owing to inability. The
cry of the S.S04, SO depositors would be
10 empty vaults after the cash on hand
had heen paid out
Bryan says that there would be q
panic, bat he has never attempted TO
tell what it would be Ike further than
- say that desperate disease must sub
nit 10 heroic treatment
Patients do not always survive heroic
treatment.

WILL BE TRIED ON.

The Republican party declares IN "a
yor of international bimetallism as the
Only possible way of sustaining silver,
Thoroughly convinced that free silver
in America alone would mean monomer
allism. John Y. Farwell, the great Chi
cago merchant, who generally knows
what he states as q fact, says that the
bmetallists of England raised fully
$500, 600 last year 10 help their cause.
That does not look much as If there
,sere no hope of International bimetal-
lism for if the silver mine owners be
excepted it is doubtful whether the far
richer and more numerous silver men
of the United States have ever raised so
much money for their cause IN any one
year, except under the influence OF a
presidential campaign which pulls out
contributions through the force OF par
ty ties and the hope Of Office. Indeed,
it must be distressing to the average
Bryanite to think of 100000 for silver
in England and none of it may be dis
tributed among the faithful Popocrats
of the United States.
