The prevailing opinion is that the
putting out a sound money ticket in
Minnesota is necessary to the saliva
ton of that state from the free silver
ties. If that is so the wisdom of the
sound money men of that section can
be trusted to see that it is done. The
situation in the several states will be
carefully canvassed. and where the
third ticket is needed it will be found
on deck in due season. The states
that see the need of a sound money
Democratic ticket will nominate one
and put out their own electors, if no
national ticket is put out.

BRYAN's OWN COUNTY AGAINST
HIM.

Lincoln ,Neb., Aug. 14.-The Repub,
lican Lancaster County Central Com
mittee is feeling happy over the re-
suit of a canvass of votes in the coun-
ty and feel safe in predicting that Mr..
Bryan will not only lose his own pre-
cinct and ward, but will be defeated
in both city and county. Lancaster
county gave Majors, Republican, a
majority of $500 votes over Holcomb,
nominated by the Populists and in
dorsed by the silver Democrats in
1894. The committee does not eX-
pect to equal that vote, but does hope
to give Mckinley 1900 more votes
than Mr.. Bryan receives.
The canvass of votes is being made
with the same care that is used in
registering the school children. The
committee feels that the work would
be done in vain if it could not rely
upon a poll. The members want to
know Just where the Bryan faction is
strongest. Two precincts are given
where Mr.. Bryan is supposed to be
popular. The poll shows that in
South Pass precinct there are 219
men for Mckinley, A for Bryan and
1 for Bentley. In University place
Bryan, ii; Prohibitionist, 10; unde-
cided. %

Judge Makemson is about to shy
his castor into the ring Of the Ninth
congressional district. He enters the
race most OPPORTUNITY. There is de-
mand for such a man as he at this
time. The Populists Of that district
are greatly dissatisfied with the nom.
inee of their party and are Kindly dis
posed to Judge Makemson. The sound
money men of that district will wheel
into line behind him very generally.
He has the confidence Of the Republi-
cans of his district in a marked de-
gree and is a good campaigner. He
will make the best fight of any man
who can be named by the Republicans
of that district, and If elected will
make TIE best representative the dis.
trict has had in years. That he has
hard work cut out for him is certain
and there will be no disgrace attash
ing to defeat.

Warming is given in the proper
quarters that the free silverites of the
mountain states are arranging a
scheme to capture the league of Re-
publican clubs and secure a deliver
ance from it in favor of free, silver.
When that is done the league will be
heard from in a way that will sur
prise Teller and shake him out of his
silver slippers. That the attempt is
contemplated is certain, that it will
fail of success is as certain as that
the league is Republican.

Kansas is the most doubtful and
tricky of ell the states usually in
cluded in the Republican list of mid
die western states. The state that

Yellin, will not do to tie to. Still the
state will not be suffered to go by

Queen Victoria is of the opinion
that the Lord will not let her die I'M
til she has completed the sixtieth
year of her reign. She therefore re-
quests that no demonstration be made
over her having completed a longer
life upon the throne than any other
British sovereign, but the people
wait until she rounds out her Goth
year as queen, which will be two
years hence. Perhaps she will then
abdicate' in favor of the Prince of
Wales.

Neither England nor Russia have
been as wise, just, or humane as the
cables under the sea represented
them. They officially deny that they
have put their forces together to pre-
vent the destruction of Crete by the
Turk. The powers were guilty of a
dastardly act when they compelled
Greece to give up Crete half century
or more ago. They are quite as cow
ardly now in refusing that protection
to Crete which they would not then
permit Greece to extend.

There will be the best work done by
the Republicans of Texas in the seve>
raj congressional districts this year
that has yet been done within the his
tory of the state. In the Ninth, Tenth,
Eleventh, Twelfth, all lying close to-
gether, there will be good work done
and there is reasonable prospect of
carrying the majority of these. If
Hawley accepts the nomination that
will be rendered him in the Tenth,
there is hardly a doubt of his election.
MakemsOn in the Ninth VIII give a
good account of himself, and crowd
Sayers to the last hour of the race
Grass, in the Eleventh, has a good
backing in the eastern part of his
district, and with Luby and Rentfro
and Brewster to aid him on the Rio
Grande should catch that vote sOlidly.
In the west he will get all the aid that
Crouch can give him and that in itself
is no little. What has already been
done in the Twelfth can be done again
if wisdom and hard work join hands.

club in place of John Stack, who has not
attended a meeting since last October
A letter was read from Victor Harrier,
the treasurer OF the Mallard Gun Club and
organizer OF the Solano County Sports
mems Club, in which it stated that neither
the writer nor members of the club he rep
resented could assist in any way to further
the interests Of the association by the sale
of tickets for its annual picnic.
The association unanimously decided to
cut away from the Mallard and Solano
County clubs, the membership of which in
future will have to fight their own battles
minus the support of the Sportsmen's Pro-
tective Association.
Committees were appointed for the pic
mic, which promises TO be both financially
and socially a most successful affair.
The Interstate Coursing Club met last
evening and arrangements for the second
grand meeting at Newark Park on the 18th

AMONG THE WHEElMEN,
The National Racing Circuit to
Open in Denver, and Not
Here.
The Imperial Club Nominates Off.
GERS and Names Its Relay
Team.

1t has been decided not to have the Ma
tional racing circuit commence in Califor-
MIA. This conclusion was reached yester-
day by r. NJ. Welcn of the racing board.
He said that the demand for dates on the
circuit was not sufficient to warrant the
Eastern racing men coming here, and for
that reason it has been decided to open the
racing circuit on May 16 at Denver and
ork eastward from that point.
wThis will not affect the dates which have
already been arranged for next month,
Santa Rosa, Oakland, Healdsburg and San
Jose, but they will not be National circuit
meets. All the fast California riders and
such Fasteners as are now here will COM
peIe and the events will be full of interest.
Tom Cooper, the Detroit fier, and Lee
Richardson, champion trick-rider, who
have been expected here during the past
few days, will not arrive for two weeks,
and as the circuit will start in Denver,
may not come at all. This will be quite a
disappointment to their many friends
here.
The Imperial Cycling Club has adopted
club sweater OF silver gray, trimmed with
purple. They are quite handsome and all
the members will soon be wearing them.
The Bay City Wheelmen are still unde-
cided as TO one or two men for their relay
team and will hold another five-mile try
out a: Alameda to-day to settle the matter.
Harry T. Terrill, one of the clubs strong
est riders, has been i'll since last Saturday
and will probably not ride, so that his
place will also have to be filled.
+. G. Chandler, manager of the Cleve-
land branch house on this coast, will
shortly leave here to take charge of the
companv's interests in London. His sue
cessor has not been named, though he may
be E. E. Stoddard of the Bay City Wheel
men, who represented the Western Wheel
Works of Chicago until recently, when he
left them to go with the Cleveland people
The San Jose Road Club celebrated its
fourth anniversary yesterday.
Maurice Stewart of the Bay City Wheel
men left yesterday for trip through So
lano County.
The Imperial Cycling Clubs relay team
will be composed of NJ essrs. Bozio, Ortion,
Metcalfe, Barley, Cook, Mack. Blakeslee,
Alborelle, Borre and Byrne.
AT meeting last Monday night the fol-
lowing officers were nominated for the en-
suing term: President, r. L. Radke; vice.
presidents, II. Todd and G. Sullivan; :;
secretary, John S. Egan financial secre-
tary and treasurer. George J. Panario :;

WHISTLE FOR HIS PAY.
That Seems to Be All That Is Left for
Laborer Henshaw to Do by Way

tales of fraud and oppression" remarked
Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald yesterday.
Zone OF our latest cases is that of q poor
workman named Henshaw, who asked our
aid in collecting claim for SIS Is. He went
to work under the Mccoy grading contract
at the Mission, and is said to be a good,
willing and capable mani: When Mccoy
failed the contract was assigned to ]. J.
Rauer. who assumed the obligation OF see
ing that the employees were paid. He
said he was sure there was money enough
in the contract to meet all claims out
standing.
THE work was finished, and matters
commenced to look black for the Henshaw
household. They were six months behind
with the rent, and living, God knows how,
on nothing a week. Henshaw came to
me in great distress few days ago, beg
ging the commission to help him collect
his little claim, which means so much 10
him and his family. Deputy Commits
