Rosa Contest.
SANTA ROSA, CAL, April 4.-The
rumor that Guerneville would send in q
big block of votes for a well-known and
handsome young lady of that place has
added interest to the carnival queen con-
test for the past week.
Each time the vote has been counted
the committee has looked in vain for the
candidates in the shade. To-nigh t. when
the box was opened. there was large for
eign-looking envelope on top of the heap.
On being opened this was found to contain
q certified check for sum equal to 335
votes.
But it was not from Guerneville. It was
from that other enterprising little town
in the redwoods-Occidenta the
committee was instructed to formally
Jessica KloppenDerg OF Occidental and to
cast the 335 votes for that young lady as
"a small starter" in the race for regal
honors.
Miss Kloppenberg is said to be the most
popular lady on the nar-ow-gauge railroad
from Sausalito to Cazadero. and one en-
thusiastic resident of Coleman Valley ia
offering tonight to back the newcomer
against the "feld" for any amount.
More than 100 votes were counted for
Miss Sara Hall to-day, but the lead is still
retained bv Mrs. L.W. Burris by very
small margin.
w. II. Grissim and Don Mills, who
started yesterday to raise $500 for dis
play of fireworks, report good success, and
this additional attraction will undoubtedly
be secured. There has been some talk of
inviting Chauncey NJ. Depew to visit San
ia Rosa in order to dispel any lingering
doubt in that gentieman's s mind as to the
beauty of California girls, and the resi-
dents of this valley feel somewhat sighted
that the distinguished visitors should visit
the Napa Valley and give them the 60 by.

BRYAN AT MINNEAPoLIs.-" am
not surprised that i'm Minnesota and
all over this country Republicans are
leaving the Republican party when
they find that it is drawing to the
Republican party all those Demo-
Gratis whom the Republicans In the
past have been in the habit Of de-
nouncing. And, my friends, you
Republicans who are joining with US
In this campaign haye the consola-
ton of knowing that you are doing
it without having to abandon the
convictions that you followed in
years past. There is this difference
between the Republicans who come
TO us and the Democrats who go
from us. The Democrats who 60
from US have to go down on their
knees and beg pardon OF John Sher-
man for all the bad words the Demo-
cratic party has spoken against him,
while the Republicans who come to
us come bringing in their hands the
Republican platform which was
adopted in this hall four years ago.
The Republicans who come to us
have Eothlng to conceal and are per-
tectly willing to tell where they
stand and why they stand there, and
they are among the most jealous re.
cruits we have. Those who go from
us have only TO say in explanation of
their conduct that if we had the free
coinage of silver it would be awful,
awful. My friends, there are rea-
sons for bimetalism and those rea.
sons are so plain and simple that
they can be understood, and when
we preach bimetalism we give our
reason for our faith"
In Minneapolis Mr.. Bryan had to
fight his way inch by inch and make
three speeches to the 10000 people
in the streets before he could face
the audience of II, 900 which awaited
him in the hall. A silver inkstand
was presented him by the laboring
men to be used in signing the free
coinage bill.

WE confidently believe that Mr..
Bryan will be elected on the Ord of
November by an overwhelming ma
Jority of both the electoral and popu-
lar vote. The indications of Demo-
cratic success just now are most ia
Vorable, and we believe they will
become more so as the 3rd of No.
Vember draws near. 1t is believed
that Mr.. Bryan will sweep every
southern State, every State west of
the Missouri, and that he has bet
ter chance than Mckinley in most of
the great States north of the Ohio
river. Gov. Altgeld is confident
that Bryan will get large majority

German.

Senator German has taken the
stump in Maryland for Bryan and
the Chicago platform. In his speech
at Laurel on the 7th he said:
We have submitted our views to
court of last resort, a court elected
by the people and controlled by the
people, the convention held at Chi
cago, and nothing is left for honest
Democrats to do but bow to the will
of the people.
We have a candidate of the peo-
pie, and all Democrats will support
him because of what he stands for.
He was also nominated by a band
of honest Republicans led by the
Senator from Colorado, who believe
in the United States controlling her
own financial policy.
Our candidate is cordially sub
ported by the Populists because he
stands for the rights of the people.
Against us we have the great or
ganization, the Republican party.
A voice: Led by Hanna"
Yes, led by Hanna, run by Hanna,
and some say, bought by Hanna.
They have suborned themselves
and become the tools of the money
changers Of London. They have
some comfort from men who have
worn the mask of Democracy, but
these have thrown aside the mask
and gone over to the common enemy
Let them go.
They are now where they belong.
| want to see if the American people
have so degenerated that they can be
bought. If 50, then our Republican
form of Government is at an end"
Senator German concluded by say
ing that nothing would prevent Mary
land from casting her vote for Bryan
and Sewall.

COniiScatiOn or Reputation.

The gold bugs argue that the de-
mand for the restoration of silver as
standard money in this country is
nothing but the effort of dishonest
debtors to pay off their debts i'm
deprecated money, and they boldly
charge spirit of reputation in the
minds of large proportion of the
American people.
This argument comes with exceed
ing poor grace from men who, by
distorting the facts of history, and
by every form of misrepresentation
and deception, are striving to fix this
ubiquitous gold standard upon the
country, under which the dollar unit
of account is constantly growing in
value and now eXacts from the debtor
two dollars for every one he owes.
If the spirit of reputation is abroad
in the land (Which we do not believe)
the gold standard is responsible for
1t, tor it has cut down the price of
every thing, silver included, at least
one-half, and, as compared with
gold, prices, as we all know, are
still declining and the volume of
money ever diminishing.
How can the people of this coun-
try, burdened as they are with Ma
tional, State, municipal, corporate
and individual debts to the extent of
$50, 900, 600, 900, as some statisticians
put 1t, ever hope to pay out under
this gold standard system, the dollar
unit Of which is constantly increas-
ing in value, thus forcing down the
price Of every thing the debtor owns
or can produce with which to dis
charge his debt?
Every fair-minded man will con-
denim the cruel Injustice done to the
debtor when, by change in the
money system, he is required to pay,
under single standard, debts con-
tracted under double standard when
he had the right to discharge his debt
in either metal. 1t is no better for
the debtor though his debt be made
and must be paid under the single
standard, if, as has been the case with
gold, the dollar unit of that standard
is constantly appreciating in value.
Stability in the standard is what is
desired, and experience has shown
that the gold standard is the most
fuctuating and unstable the world
has ever known, and just here is
where the great injustice is done to
the doctor, whilst, at the same time,
an ubiquitous advantage is given to
the creditor.
If this gold standard is perma-
nently fixed upon this country, il is
our deliberate opinion that the time
will come when the terrible alterna.
tive of confiscation or reputation
will stare the people in the face. If
1T ends in reputation, the moneyed
class, which is bl:ndly and selfshly
laboring to fix that system upon the
people, will have no one to blame
but itself.

age of desire to pay off their debts
in a deprecated money, would do
well to ponder the following from
Edward A. Ross, Professor of Eco

ference in amount of wrong between
forcing your debtor to repay you
dollars that would go twice as far
and are twice as hard TO get as the
dollars you lent him and your rails

value by the use of chemicals. The
wrong is the same. But when a ma

a MoNOMETALIsT is a one money
man-one who believes in the use of
one metal as standard or retention
money.
A bimetalist is a two.money man,
or one who believes in the use of two
metals as standard or redemption
money. Bimetalism means the free
and unlimited coinage of both gold
and silver into standard money of
full legal tender quality and on terms
of exact equality, with the option to
the debtor to discharge his debt in
either coin. This is in substance the
definition given by all scientific
writers on the subject, and the def
nitions given by modern gold bugs
are made to order and to suit the me-
cessitieS Of the situation.

GeOrgin and Florida.

The Democrats won glorious VIC
tories in the State elections in these
two States last week. In Georgia
the Democrats elected their ticket by
a majority of 80, 900 against the COM
bined strength of Republicans, Popu-
lists and Prohibitionists-G At
kinson falling somewhat behind ow-
ing to local fights against him. In
Florida the victory was scarcely less
pronounced. Chairman Jones, of
the National Committee, writing
from Chicago on the 9Th to the At
lanta Journal, says:
The Georgia election means solid
South as well as II solid West for Mr..
Bryan in November. Considering
the fact that the Georgia Democracy
had arraigned against it the united
strength of the administration, the
Republicans, the Populists and the
Prohibitionists, a majority of 10000
"Oe'N " 40 u RoOu
victory.
1t appears, from returns 80 far
received, that we have double that,
having made gains in nearly every
county. / consider the result as as
surfing Mr.. Bryan majority of not
less than $4,000 or 1000 in Novem-
Der. 1t shows that the people are
with us in the fight and that they
cannot be diverted by any subordi-
nate issues, whether of local or ma
tional interest.
l am more than confident that MIR.
Bryan will not only carry every
Southern State, but also every State
west of the Missouri river, as we'll
as large majority of the central
western States, insuring him an over.
whelming majority in the electoral

SENATOR WAsHBURNE, of Min
nesota, Republican, said in the
United States Senate in 1890:
Again, Mr.. President. the people
of the country were startled. GER
tainly was when the statement was
was made in one of the magazines a
few weeks since that one-h half of the
volume Of wealth of this country
was owned by $4,000 persons,
and again the millionaires and the
tens of millionaires and the hun
dreds of millionaires have neither
created nor earned their wealth, and
the royal road to wealth has been
through illegitimate speculation,
stock exchanges and grain gambling,
railroad wrecking and trusts, and the
whole volume of iniquities that have
developed in the nefarious methods
of the stock exchanges of the coun-
try"
These are the men who are all in
line to-day striving to fix the gold
standard permanently upon this
country. Every man who votes
against Bryan on the 3rd of Novem-
Der aids them in the effort they are
making.
