sight of, of course, that the Wall

The democratic managers also
say that Illinois is certain, but
they have not the same absolute
assurance that they have re-
garding the % states first
named.
A friend here talked with
Senator Jones, the chairman of
the democratic national com
mittee, over the long-distance
telephone today. The senator
said that everything was fine.
Today the democrats and
populists agreed upon an iron
clad fusion arrangementinWest
Virginia. Two of the demo-
cratic electors are withdrawn,
and two of the populist electors
are placed upon the ticket.
Yhis action adds about 5000
votes certainly to the democratic
strength in the Mountain State.
The details of fusion have been
agreed upon in Indiana. and
the two committees will close
the arrangements tomorrow or
the day after.
There is some indication here
that the administration is sorry
that it declared against Bryan.
At the time the president and
cabinet came out against the
Chicago ticket they felt certain
that Bryan would be beaten,
and wanted a share in the
honor" of his defeat. Now
there is a growing impression
grown against the grain, it
might be remarked-that Bryan
will be elected, and the gentle

PULPIT POLITICS.

Not since the days just prior
to the war have the ministers
of the gospel and the churches
been so aroused to action by a
presidential campaign as f6e
present one. N0ts few of the
eol the great city
4Shes have made intensely
or partisan speeches from
4e sacred desk on the Sabbath.
In some instances riots in the
church have been narrowly
averted. So great is the dread
of dire calamity that is predict
ed by many public speakers
that the 9Th day of October was
observed more or less in all the
states as a day of fasting and
prayer to Almighty God to pre-
serve the people from threaten
ed evils.
At Louisville and Lexington,
KY, the ministers In assembly
made an urgent call this week
to their respective congrega-
tons to meet and plead with
the Lord to avert calamity, to
save the people from bloodshed
at the polls, and bring good to
tie masses out of the commo-
ton that prevails in every vot-
ing precinct from Maine to
California.
Without representation and
without the ballot we people of
the territory have little concep-
ton of the intense excitement
that is prevalent among the
voters.
But looking calmly on while
the people read, speak, argue
and shout for their party and
candidate we are convinced that
the agitation which recurs every
fourth year with more or less
violence, whilst it is bountiful
from a financial standpoint, is
Just as necessary for the preser-
yation of all liberties of the
people as the soft breeze, the
gales, the hurricane and tidal
wave for the purity of the
waters of the sea.

ocratic headquarters that only
positive assurances of victory
could bnild up. The news from
the west has been excellent for
the last few days. The repubh-
cans and assistant republicans
are ratified. The democratic
claims of victory have no longer
an uncertain sound.
The democratic managers as
sert with confidence that Bryan
will carry % states, having 232
electoral votes, almost beyond
peradventura, and that his
chances of carrying five addi
tional states, having 73 electoral
votes, are in the ratio of 2 to 1.
In 1892. when Mr.. Whitney
was the power behind the
screens at democratic head
quarters, he induced his Wall
street friends to send an indie
pendent commission to Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin in
the last week of September. TO
make observations and report
the result. The report OF that
commission was so accurate
that the Wall street men sent
the same commission to The
same and neighboring states to
report on the situation. The
commissioners have returned to
New York, and reported to
their enemies.
The report has made Wall
streets hair stand on end. The
commission, of course, was not
to be governed by cold facts.
Well, the report made, as the
Republic correspondent has
been informed by a high officer
of the government, who is sup

.POTRER0 IMPROVEMENTS
Southern Heights People Imbued
With the Spirit of
Progress.
DR.. E. L. Wimple's New Business and
Residence Block at Napa and
Kentucky Streets.

By the use of modern machinery and
the expenditure OF money with liberality
the Potrero Land and Improvement Com
pany is bringing the Southern Heights
into a condition compatible with the
heights of modern civilization. Hollows
are being filled in, tons of blue rock dis
lodged and dumped into yawning chasms,
and the streets put into good condition.
The latest architectural ornament in the
shape of a substantial building in the
district is IN the course OF construction at
the intersection of Kentucky and Napa
streets, on the site where once stood the
renowned king" McManus' headauar-
ters. The old house where so many hard
political fights took place was removed
some time ago by its owner, E. l.. Wimple,
who had Plans drawn for handsome,
two-story building. When finished it will
be an ornament to that part of Kentucky
street. 1t will consist of four fats and six
stores.
The stores will front on both streets.
The corner one will be occupied by the
owner as drugstore, with fine residence
quarters in the building. A barber-shop,
with several bathrooms attached, will be
on the side fronting on Napa street, which
leads directly toward the Union Iron
Works and Rollipg.milI
The building has frontage OF sixty
feet with depth of hundred feet, which
gives ample room for large stores beneath
and residence fats overhead.
When finished the building will cost Its
owner $25, 900. A few more such structures
on the Southern Heights would tend to
bring that district into prominence.

WATCHING COPYIsTs.
Auditor Broderick Is Keeping Track OF
the Employees in County Clerk
Curry's ONCE.

When the copyists in County Clerk Cur
ry's office appear in Auditor Broderick's
Office for their warrants for May they will
probably be asked some questions which
they have not previously been called upon
to answer.
The law as interpreted by Mr.. Curry
says that he may employ three copyists
for each of the Superior Courts, making
thirty-six in all, ald that they shall be
paid for the actual time engaged in copy
ing at the rate of SIS per day. Auditor
Broderick for the past two or three months
has been auditing bills for each of the
thirty-six men which Mr.. Curry keeps on
the payroll at the rate OF $78 each per
month, or the full twenty-six working
days of each month. While not having
any definite information that the men are
not working full time Mr.. Broderick
wishes to be convinced that they are, and
will ask that Mr.. Curry certify under oath,
as is required from other municipal oth-
GERS, that the employees have earned the
amount of money they demand.

STOLE VALUABLE JEWELS
The Wright Residence on

Three Pseudo Potato Peddlers Seen
in the Locality Are Suspected
of the Crime.

daring daylight burglary was commit
ted at the residence of G.. III. Wright, 420
Leavenworth street, near O'Farrell, on
Tuesday, and since then the police have
been hunting for the burglars without
success.
Tuesday morning Mr.. Wright left the
house, as usual, after breakfast, and Mrs.
Wright followed shortly afterward to do
some shopping. The servant girl, also,
took advantage of the occasion to 90 out
Tor stroll.
The house stands back from the street
some yards. 1t is entirely hidden from
O'Farrell street by the large house on the
corner, which is built close up to the side.

with lattice work on top, which almost
hides the lower part from the view of peo-
pie going north on Leavenworth street
from Ellis. Leading to the rear there Is
gateway, through which carriage could
pass.
few minutes after the servant girl left
three men, who looked like peddlers, were
seen to stop in front of the house. One
went up the long flight of steps to the
front door, another went to the gateway
and the third stood on the sidewalk,
The man at the front door rang the hell
several times and, receiving no response,
he Joined his companion who had been
trying to open the gateway to the rear.
and that was the last seen of the two,
When Mrs. Wright returned home about
noon she was surprised to find the rear
door open. She hastily went upstairs, and
everything was in confusion. The bed
rooms had been thoroughly ransacked.
Bureau drawers had been pulled out and
their contents emptied on the floors. Her
jeweIry box had been broken open. and
her diamond rings and other jewelry were
missing. The rear door had been forced
open with Jimmy" the marks being
plainly.visible.
Mr.. Wright was communicated with and
he hurried home. What annoyed him
most OF all was that his diamond stuos
had been taken out of a dress shirt in his
bureau drawer, and the marks of the
burglars hngers were plainly visible on
the front of the shirt where he had been
pressing 1t TO extract the studs.
.JeWelry and other articles to the value
OF between $500 and $1,000 were stolen.
Mr; Wright notified police headquarters
ana Detectives Gibson and Wren were de-
tailed on the case.
Inc detectives yesterday recovered a
portion OF the stolen property and thew
lave got clew to the burglars. The
time. Wv "-'
The utmost secrecy has been maintained
by the police as to the burglary, and a
visit to the Wright residence yesterday
afternoon was not productive of any in
formation.
The servant-girl answered the door-bell,
and to the inquiry for details of the burg
iary she replied, 81 guess you're ahead of
time; there hasn't been burglary here"
and she closed the dooor in the inquirer's
face.
The police are satisfied it is the same
gang of pseudo potato peddlers who have
committed several daylight burglaries in
that neighborhood within the past three
months.
