A BIG SLUMP.
Slauson Stock in the Mayoralty Syndi-
cate Falling Off,

This evening the Republican caucus
es will be held throughout the CITY.
There will be quite a struggle in most
of the precincts, for there are over $50
members of the G. o. P. seeking the

dicate, as far as the Republican nomina-
ton is concerned, took a slump yester-
day. The Martin forces, under the lead
ership of Charles E. Day, were bearing
it, and they succeeded In sending 1t down
several points. In fact to judge from the
expression of sentiment heard on the
street one would be justified in thinking
that Mr.. Slauson will fail to reach what
he is after. This would be no surprise
to the gentleman, for he never vet got
anything he went after in politics.
However, there may be many Slauson
men in the byways and hedgerows who
have not vet been heard from. The fact
that the Times favored Mr. Slausop's
candidacy and nomination was almost
a death blow to it,
Julius Martin stands a good chance
OF being the Republican nominee. Mr..
Vetter is possibility The other candi-
dates now in the field are simply dead
wood. They cut no figure one way or the
other.
After the caucuses tonight one will be
better able to tell with some degree of
accuracy how things stand.

pass. Thousands are anxiously wait
ing for the coming election, waiting
to strike with a vengeance the blow
that will break the fetters OF Free
Trade nightmare. Some ofthe States
have spoken in unmistakable tones,
that will roll over mountain and plain
Peace on earth Prosperity to all
men.
We notice one distinctive feature in
this campaign, that is, that our good
Democratic friends say very little
about Free Trade. In all theirspeeches
they are almost as silent as the grave
on the subject of a Tariff for Revenue
Only guess the Cleveland bond
issue has about convinced them that
a Tariff for Revenue Only is not quite
wide enough that Nation may wrap
itself in it. No very little is said Of
Free Trade, but much is said about
Free Silver.
Well, about all we have to say in
regard to the free and unlimited coin
age of silver. should it pan out as
their Free Trade theory did, we want
as little Of that thing as possible. We
do not object to having plenty Of
money, but we want to know that
what we have is good for its face value
and that the Nation stands pledged to
make good every dollar ofits currency.
We believe the Republican party will
secure this to every citizen. as it
stands pledged to do in its platform.
This the voter can confidently ex-
pect. 1t does not only promise to
make every dollar good as gold it
does not only promise to give us a
sound financial system. but it pledges
itself to give ample protection toevery
industry. Let the toiling millions OF
this broad land rest assured that if
the administration is placed in the
hands of the Republican party, a Nc
Kinley Tariff Bill will take the place
OF the Wilson German Bricep Bill,
which bill will afford suffici ent reve-
nues to meet the demand Of the Gov
eminent and protect the enterprise Of
the country.
