GOING TO BATTLE
Shall the Republican County Convention B:
Caiiei .or al Early Day?


At the meeting OF the Republican
county central committee today there is
going to be some fun.
The object of the meeting of the COM
mittee at this time is to issue the call
for the Republican county convention
and also to fix the date for holding it,
as we'll as the date of the primaries to
name the delegates that viii comprise
the convention.
The court house ring is desirous of
having the convention date fixed for
September Sth. Every man who now
holds down county Office is a candidate
for denomination. He feels that the
fouryear term is no go and that the
supreme court win declare it 10 be un-
constitutional.
But there has been so much doubt
surrounding this matter Of a four-year
term that none Of the outs" So to
speak, have felt that they We're justified
in making canvass for a nomination
They have let the matter 20 by the
board
Now that the announcement is sud-
denly made that the four-year term is
not to be they are actively at work
among their friends making a canvass.
Those gentlemen who are the outs do
not want the convention called so early
They wanted it fixed for the 10th. or
even later. They feel that if II is called
earlier the 'ins" will be taking snap
judgment on them ard giving them no
chance whatever for their white alley
They have not even had time to see all
their friends and announce their candi-
dacy.

For Gods sake, II any European wants
to bring his silver bullion here and coin
it into American dollars and spend 1t
here let him do so.
WHERE IT COMES FROM.
1.-THE United States in 1898 produced
$173. 900 of silver as against
$4S COO, 900 for the rest of the
world. England produced $327, 900 worth.
Now. are we going to let England set the
price for our silver bullion. of which we
produce four times as much as all the
rest of the world together? 1 say no,
and so does William ]. Bryan.
The annual silver coinage of the ma
tions of the world is $143,000000. In the
arts S27G00,00 annually is used This
makes u total of S170. 000, 900 that is used
every year. Now. of this amount all but
$4S 900. 900 is produced in America. This
leaves S120 000. 900 worth of silver bullion
that we have been selling to the world
at ratio fixed by England. Is it not
about time that we fixed our own price
on our own product?
America Asia and Russia produce
sS7 100000 of gold and the rest of the
world $50 000. 900 worth. America, Asia
and Russia are silver using countries.
Every year $50 900, 900 worth of gold is
used in the arts. We produce in the
United States more gold than all the
rest or the world. OUTSIDE OF America
but $40, 900 900 worth of gold is produced.
This is not enough to supply a quantity
sufficient for the arts. This being the
case. we can also fix in this country the
price of sold. England produced $4,000
worth of gold and yet she assumes the
prerogative of fixing the ratio of the
metals"
Judge Utley's speech was vigorously
applauded. and the figures he gave were
full of interest and instruction to his
auditors.
THE CLOSE.
II. II. Savage followed Judge Utley in
a ringing speech advising everybody not
only to vote for Bryan but to work for
him from now on to election day.
The enthusiasm of the vast crowd was
something seldom witnessed in political
campaigns in this section. Every men,
ton of the name of William ]. Bryan
brought forth deafening applause. The
speakers were interrupted by frequent
cheers, ard everybody seemed to enter
into the full spirit of the occasion.
There were numbers of ladies present
in the audience.
During the evening q number Of club
rolls were passed around among the
crowd ana over 100 signatures We're Sc
cured of parties who desired to become
members.
The meeting adjourned with three
rousing cheers for Bryan and silver.

News and Notes

There is going to be union OF the
silver forces in this congressional dis
trict and ii will be represented in the
next congress by friend and advocate
of the white metal.
With this object in view, Major harry
w. Patton, John W. Mitchell, }. Marion
Brooks and Adolph Ramish left at :
o'clock Yesterday afternoon Tor san
Francisco to attend the meeting OF the
Democratic state central committee Oh
which body the gentlemen are all men,
bers.
This afternoon there will be meeting
of the state central committee, when
the all-irnportant matter of fusion Will
ba fulIv discussed. and some general
plan will be devised by which it can be
accomplished. not only ON the electoral
ticket. but also in all the congressional
districts throughout the state.
The Populists and Democrats have
already fused in the First district. In
the Second and Third districts nothing
has been done yet, but everything is
favorable to fusion. In the Fourth dls-
trict Judge James G. Mcguire Demo-
crat. is satisfactory to all parties In
the Fifth district the Democrats would
probably give way to the Populists, who
have named Taylor Rodgers, Mayor
Sutro's private secretary. Joseph Kelley
is the Democratic nominee, buL III is
probable that he will be repudlated by
the Democratic state central commit
tee, as he was two years ago. In the
Seventh district W. w. Bowers, silver
Republican. will get the silver vote.
VI. I1 Siyth
with Major Patton and Mr. Barlow in
the field Major Patton has already
announced that if, in the wisdom of the
state central committee, he should give
way to Mr.. Barlow, he is prepared to
do so.
The Populist state central committee
will also be in session today at San
Francisco Mr.. Barlow and Major Pat
ton will meet, and an understanding, 1t
is safe to say, will be arrived at
This intelligence will undoubtedly
bring joy and satisfaction to the friends
of silver throughout the entire Si19h
district. 1t is stated on authority that
Mr. Barlow is reasonable man who does
not aim at the impossible, and those who
know him state that in their opinion a
basis for fusion will be arrived at SO
that every vote cast against the Hon.
James McLachlan. a recent convert to
gold monometallisn, will count.
1--WE are going north to 90 what we
can for silver and for the party said
John w. Mitchell as the train left the
Arcade depot yesterday afternoon.
1t is a rather singular fact that the
silver plank adopted by the Republican
and Democratic state conventions We're
both written by Los Angeles people.
Judge D. p Hatch wrote the plank in
the Republican platform, while Major
H. w. Patton wrote the resolution for
silver in the Democratic platform.

COLORED VOTERS KICK
The Endorsement the Afro o-American League
Gave rickin.ey

In a conversation between a reporter
of one OF the leading newspapers of this
city and Y. N. Mcclellan, d member
of the o-American league, lately as
sembled in Los Angeles, the latter re-
marked that when the league was first
organized it was understood that it
should be strictly non partisan and most
of its members were greatly surprised
when the question came Up during one
of its sessions.
Should the league support Mckinley
for president?"
1t was plainly to be seen, should the
league vote on question Of this char
acter it would make the organization a
political one.
However, the question was ardently
discussed and voted upon. 81 votes being
cast in favor of supporting Mckinley
and 80 in opposition.
DO you think" asked the reporter,
that the political turn which the league
took will have any influence 10 increase
or diminish the colored vote in California
for the Republican party
Mr.. Mcclellan replied: II think 1t will
have an influence to decrease the cOlored
vote for the Republican party"
why do you think so?" asked the re-
porter
81 will give you my reasons as briefly
as possible - said MIR. Mcclellan. First,
the coored people in California have al
ways been considered to be nearly all
Republicans. Secondly, by the express
sion of the league given in voting on
the question t would Lead 10 the conclu-
sion hat those who did not vote for Nc
