ENDED IN A PROTEST..
KIOLBASSA WINS THE CASE AND
VERNON KICKS.
The Meeting Decides That a Plenary
Committee Cannot Remove a Candidate
Nominated by Convention.

Yesterdays meeting of til,
county commissioners and thu
presiding officers of the city yot
ing precincts to formulate an
Australian ballot for the No
vember election decided that 6
convention of the people is high
er authority than plenary com
mittee, and that while such com
mittee may fill any vacancy on a
e 9sugo OF lqS!I on sgq J! l9Ho!1
vacancy without the consent OF
all concerned. The point upon
which this question was decided
was the case of Ben Kiolbassa,
who was a nominated candidate
for county treasurer on the Citi-
zens' ticket at a convention held
at Beethoven hall.
Yesterday mornings proceed
ings of the meeting were given
in the Light. The afternoon ses-
sion opened at 3 o'clock with the
Kiolbassa case under discussion.
Mr.. Kiolbassa engaged Attorney
Joe Ryan to represent him, while
Judge Bates and Mr.. Vernon
championed the cause of the
Dreiss faction.
During the afternoon evidence
was introduced on both sides.
The Dreiss people claimed that
KiOlbassa's share toward the cam
paign fund was to be $500, and
that he said he did not think he
could pay it and asked them to
look for another man to make
the race; that Kiolbassa had
withdrawn and was willing for
anybody else to take his place,
except Ferd. Herff.
Mr.. Kiolbassa denied that he
had withdrawn and said that he
never authorized anyone to with
draw his name. He said he caus-
ed to be printed on his cards,
"Why Don't the City Hall Ticket
Fill in Those Two Blanks?" be-
cause they were not filled, referr-
ing to county clerk and county
collector, which, it will be re-
membered, are vacant on the Cit
izens' ticket.
The question of the county
treasurership was finally decided
by a vote, resulting in Mr.. Kiol-
bassa's name being placed on the
Citizens ticket in place of Mr..
Dreiss. Each of the presiding
officers of the precincts was en-
titled to a vote. Twelve votes
were cast and they stood: Kiol-
bassa s, Dreiss 4. Mr.. Vernon
protested, because Mr.. Kiolbassa
had not received a majority of
the votes of the board.
This question settled, Senator
p. ]. Lewis inquired about the
POpulist senatorial and fotorial
candidates on the Citizens tick
ct. He held that they were NOM
mated by the Populist party and
should therefore be placed on the
Populist ticket.
Elias Edmunds, a Populist
nominee, protested against being
placed on the POpulist ticket on
the ground that he was endorsed
by the Citizens ticket. He said
that in this county he wanted to
go on the Citizens ticket, and
was joined in this demand by S.
NJ. Graybill, another Populist
nominee, endorsed by the Citi-
zens' ticket.
The meeting decided that all
POpulist nominees shall be plac-
ed on the Populist ticket.
A communication of Sam Rod
gers, withdrawing from the Re
publican county ticket as candi-
date for hide and animal inspec-
tor was read, after which the
meeting adjourned until A o'clock
this afternoon.

Patriotic PerGItG Gets into the LGtv's
Clutches at Stockton.
STOCKTON, CAL, Sept. 5.-Patricio
Peralta was arrested this evening by Con-
stable James Carroll and booked at the
County Jail on charges of forgery and
burglary. He went to the Turn Verein
saloon, Kept by Simon & Busch, and
offered check for $50, purporting to have
been signed by Frank Lane, the we'll
known grain merchant, and drawn on the
Farmers ana Merchants Bank. On this
he secured a loan of $40 and departed. He
then went to the saloon of Joe Ruiz. in
the tenderloin district, and there received
another loan on another check for $50. to
which Frank Lanes name was forged On
one check he was known as John Smith
land; the other was made payable to John
Peralta.
From the description given Constable
Carroll knew who the man wanted was
and set about to find him. In the mean
time it was learned that an ark on Nc
Leod's Lake had been looted at the noon
hour, and that gold watch was taken
from it. Peralta was seen to go into the
place at the time, and so when he was ar
rested by Constable Carroll at 10 o'clock
tonight an additional charge of burglary
was placed against him.
The prisoner is well educated and is
said to be an adopted son of the Peralta of
Immigrant fame in Alameda County.
Those who claim to know say that large
sum has been spent on his education and
in keeping him out of mischief, but with
no avail.

millions of mechanics and laborers in city
and country, on streets and in the field
sitting around cold fresides with hungry,
hali-clad children at their feet with I'M
checked disease at the door and famine knock
ing at the window, are hugging to their
bosoms great useless bars of silver bullion
with which they can pay the landlord and the
butcher and the baker If the United States
will only consent to coin them into silver
dollars. Have these people any accumulated
silver bullion waiting to be freely and illimit-
ably coined? Have they mines developed or
undeveloped, OF this precious metal? Who
has it? 1t is in the hands of the producers of
silver, in the hands OF brokers for its pro-
Ndueers, in the control of SPECTATORS of silver
bullion, who have bought IL at steadily lower
ing prices, year by year, and who are waiting
for q rise in it, or who are waiting until the
beneficent silver Democracy, which is their
agent, shall throw open the doors of the United
States minis to its free coinage at the ratio of
10 to and return it to them with an added
profit of 100 per cent. And the people who
labor will get the silver dollars whenever, and
not before, they are willing to do whole days
work for half a days pay.

STOCKTON, CAL, Sept. 5.-The Native
Sons committee that has charge of the
Admission day celebration met tonight
and decided to send a committee to San
Francisco to meet the Native Sons Who
will leave the metropolis on the night of
the 6th and escort them TO Stockton. This
committee has not yet been appointed,
but tomorrow another meeting will be
held, when Its mem bers will be named.
The great arch on the plaza received the
finishing touches to-day. 1t is now COW
cred with evergreens brought from the
mountains, which fill the rocky sides and
make it look like scene in the Sierra. At
the base is miniature forest of evergreens
and the effect is decidedly pleasing.
The work of placing rows of streamers
across the streets was finished to-day.
The electric lights were turned on again
tonight and thousands of people turned
out to view the beautiful scene The
streets were crowded with Stockton's own
people and where all those who come on
the 9Th can be placed is hard to say.
AT to-night's meeting the question of
stauoning tanks, containing ice water, on
the streets was again considered and it
was decided to place these at intervals
along the principal thoroughfares, 10 ac-
commodate those in the line of march and
the thousands of visitors who will be here.
Several of the floats for the water carnl-
val and for the day parade have been
completed. On the most extensive float
in the day parade a beautiful Native
Daughter in the person of Miss Della Ker-
rick will impersonate California. She is a
beautiful brunette, with handsome face
and charming figure, and will I'LL the part
fttingly.
Nearly all the floats will be ready for in
spection by Monday, when the decorators
hope to have them ali completed. The
parade on the 9th will not be delayed a
minute, as Grand Marshal Nutter has
been very careful in the arrangements OF
every detail of the procession.
The Sonora Parlor members started to-
night on their burro ride to this city.
There are a number of them in this city
already, but the contingent that is to
come muleback will not reach here be-
fore Monday evening, when all will go

THIS COUNTRY NEEDS PROTECTION.


What this country needs is q return to the
tariff conditions of 1892, which furnished
abundant occupation Tor all skilled and un-
skilled labor; which made the shops busy;
which kept the furnace fires blazing; fewer
importations and more domestic products;
which made the manufacturer and mechanic
buy the products of the farmer and the WOOL
grower, and enabled the latter to buy from the
manufacturer and mechanic what they pro-
duced at remunerative prices.
The Democratic tariff policy OF Mr.. Cleve-
land or the absolute free trade OF Mr. Bryan
and his Populistic associates will give Us
neither of these 1t always will, as 1t always
has done, restrict domestic production and
keep every foreign spindle busy that can
manufacture wooden goods, while 1t stills our
own. 1t has always kept and always will keep
foreign furnaces smoking by day and blazing
by night. 1t always has and II always Will
compel TO idlenesS and poverty millions of
American adults. 1t always has and 1t always
will close the skilled trades TO the young people
of this country. 1t always has trained and it
always will train millions of young American
men in the dreadful school OF laziness. 1t
always has and it always will degrade millions
of young American women. Its cruelties have
penetrated and tortured every home in city
and in country. 1t is stimulating everywhere
diStrust and fear.
The theories of free trade and tariff for
revenue only viii have had their last hour of
existence in the life of the United States with
the election oil Major Mckinley. We shall
win again the prize of national and individual
lie, which we have lost, unless at this hour OF
rehabilitation the policy of free silver shall
lead away those who will suffer from IT'S bur-
dens from their plain duty and real interests.

BAKERSFIEID TRAGEDY.
Joseph ChenOtCith Kills HintseLr In Sight

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, Sept. 5-Joseph
II. Chenowith, 81 years old, committed
suicide on the principal business corner OF
Bakersfield in the full sight of scores of
people to-day. The spectacular act was
the result of an unsuccessful love affair,
which led him to strong drink. He had

Intention to kill the girl.
Between the time of the writing of the
letters and his death he was not known to
have visited the vicinity of her home, so it
is probable that he abandoned the idea of
murder entirely.
The weapon Chenowith used was a.
caliber six-shooter, and the bullet tore
away large part of the skull. He was a
native of Illinois, his parents now living
in Kansas. A sister younger, than him
self, lives in Bakersfield.
