CALIFORNIA FOR BRYAN.
The Republicans will Elect Only One
Member of Congress.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. g. (Special)
On the Pacific slope there is every
reason to predict a great Bryan VIC
tory. In California the majority Iof
the Nebraska orator will not tall shore
of 10000, and it is probable that ouC "
seven Congressman three VIII ne
Democrats, three Populists, ana one
Republican. -,
In the mining regions Mckinley will
poll but small vote, and 1T is estlma'-
ed that seventy-fiye per cent OF the
farming population rs favorable 10
BRYAN. Resides, the labor organnza-
tons are for the Chicago nominee IN
spite of great efforts on the part OF
the Republican press to create an I'M
nression that the panic of 1898 was
caused by the tariff of 1894.
The Republicans expected aid from
Mark Hanna but, on the contrary, the
Ohio manager requested California
money for use in the East. That
created a difference that was unpleas-
amt, and gave rise to an impression
that Hanna long ago gave up California
which, however, he continued to claim
as doubtful.
The strongest clubs in the State
are i'm Los Angeles, formerly the
stronghold of the Republican party
The Bryan Silver club there has 5000
men Embellishments Popullsts,
Republicans, Prohibitionists, and indie
pendents. The Silver Republican club
of Los Angeles has $4,000 members who
will vote for Republican local noml-
nees but for Bryan and fusion Con-
gressmen.
Some North Carolinians have at
tanned more or less prominence here.
Among them is Gen. tombstone Jones,
formerly of Asheville, and once law
partner of Justice Avery w. A. Vann,
of Colusa, nominated by the Populists
for Congress, and so is w. c. Bowman
the Populist nominee two years ago IN
the Sixth district. He halls from
Mitchell county The Silver Republi-
can club was. recently addressed by W.
+. Burbank, of Winston-Salem, N. G.,
and by tombstone Jones, formerly OF

NJ. p. Snyder, is proposed as the Demo
cratic candidate for Mayor of Los
Angeles.

A Campaign Check to Chairman
Jones For $4,000.
ONE FOR s25, 900 BEFORE
Other Owners Of and Workmen
in Gold Mines Contribute.
NATIONAL BANK CLERKS GIVE
Treasurer ST. John Says the Unsolicited
Contributions Are Consequence
of the Convincing Truths
Spoken by Bryan.

ut is not often in this campaign
that we see check for $4,000, so you
may imagine how surprised and graft
fed I was to find one for that amount
in my mail this afternoon"
Treasurer ST. John, of the National
Democratic committee, looked pleased
as he made this announcement yester-
day afternoon. He was at the mo-
ment sending a telegram to Chairman
Jones, in Chicago, informing him of
the contribution to the campaign
fund.
''The check" he added, "bore the
signature of man who is known all
over the country as one of the largest
gold miners in America. / do not feel
at liberty to divulge his name, for the
check was not drawn to my order, nor
was the inclosed letter addressed to
me. 1t and the envelope were addressed
to Chairman Jones, in my care, and 1T
lay among the pile of letters on my
desk. / opened it by accident, pre-
suming, of course, it was for me. /
atonce mailed the check and the letter
W AIld1iIlidIl StiAb gill INV VIZ
graphing to him that they are on the
way to him.
DONOR is A GOLD MINER.
1.-THE signer of the check, which was
on a, New York bank, and was drawn
to the order of Chairman Jones, has
mines in the far West, and doesn't pro-
duce any silver that know of. / know
his signature well, for he has made
several other contributions since the
opening of the campaign. None of
them. however, was for such hand
some sum.
s.This is not the only man whose
name can be found among the list of
large gold mine owners that has con-
tributed to the fund. Several of them
have aided the work for the election
of Mr.. Bryan, and in very substantial
way, too.
"A check for $4,000 came to me in
the first week of September. That
is the largest contribution l have re-
ceived, and it, too, came from a well
known owner of gold mines. In the
accompanying letter he expressed his
warm advocacy of the silver cause.
Another gold miner, who said he didn't
produce an ounce of silver, sent to me

''What other contributions have you
received recently?"
Mr. ST. John took up mass of letters
and said, as he ran over them:
Here is contribution of $571 from
the miners employed in gold mine in
the far West. 1t is signed by every
man who contributed, and in the letter
they say: This is a gold mine, but is
operated by one of the most broad
minded, liberal men in the United
States-the open hearted Mr.. Blank
who would encourage his own men,
but who never offered TO them a
threat of any kind
81 have also received $40 from the
Bryan Silver Club, the members of
which are men employed in a gold
mine in Arizona; and here is letter
from the clerical force engaged in one
of the National Banks in Mississippi.
It contained check for $780,"

SENATOR HILL FOR BRYAN
BUT HE WILL TAKE NO ACTIVE
PART IN THE CAMPAIGN.
Chairman Danforth Makes Statement IN
the Senator's Behalf Would Rather
See Bryan Elected.

the Senator's Behalf Would Rather
See Bryan Elected.
New York, Oct 9.-Senator Hill will
vote the National and State Democratic
ticket, viii take no active part in
the campaign, and he will not indorse
the Chicago platform, according to
Elliott Danforth, chairman of the
Democratic State committee. Mr.. Dam
forth to-day made public the statement
about the attitude of Senator Hill
which he promised on Tuesday, when
he promised on Tuesday, when he re-
turned from Albany, where he had
been in conference with the Sena-
tor. He said:
''As I understand Senator Hills po-
sftion, he viii support both the Ma
tional and State tickets of the party,
but he will make no public statement
to that effect, and he will take no ac-
tive part in the campaign. Having
been conspicuous in his opposition to
the platform adopted at Chicago, he
does not see his way clear to support
it now. He will leave that to other
who were less active in opposition to
ITS adoption.
"But the Senator has already assist
ed the State committe with his advice
and will continue to do so. He will
confer with the committee, or with
members of it. from time to time, and
advise them about the work of the
campaign.
'While the Senator is unable to pub
licly support the platform, he wants
to see the ticket win. He would
rather see the Chicago ticket elected
than to see the Republicans successful.
That is his attitude in this campaign,
as I understand it."

that any man can follow wholly with the

cussion of this character, independently of
what Mr.. Bryan may say or what Mr.. Bryan
may think h imself he stands for, to examine
the inevitable economic effects of debase-
ment of the coinage by a change in the stand

his speech in slow and deliberate man
ner. Mr.. Belmont said:
This is time for very plain speaking.
We want no victory under a false flag.
The Democratic standard was supplansed
at Chicago by the rag of the Populists,
which we firmly refuse to follow to the
disgrace of the Nation. We are Democrats
and we represent Democrats who intend
to remain Democrats, refusing ever to sur
render the honored name of our party to
the Populists. Tie fusion of 16 to 1 inde-
pendent free silver men, Populists and So
called Bryan Democrats is complete. Some
of their leaders attempt to disguise the
fusion, but they dare not dispute its ex-
istence. for they depend on votes of the
fusionists. The opening of the mints to
the independent, unlimited coinage of fiat
silver dollars is but an intermediate stage;
the employment of the Government print
ing presses for the issue of fat money is
the ultimate aim OF the fusion party"
Continuing, Mr.. Belmont said:
"At the conference at Washington of the
fla. silver organization last January the
Populist claim was recognized, and if free
coinage should not yield enough of fat
silver then greenbac would be issued.
The fat silver party thereby abandoned
the hard-money contention put forth by

GREAT GOLD

ASSAYS $4,000 TO THE

Amount of Precious Metal in

ONE LEDGE THAT EXTENDS

All the Shar eholders Are Poor People.
but They Will Become
Capitalists.

The one hundred happiest people in San
Francisco to-day are the one hundred
shareholders of the Marguerite mine that
is located almost within the city limits of
Auburn, Placer County. They are ali COM
paratively poor people, and yet they are
carrying around little pieces of ''rock"
that ranges in value from $40 to $240.
The reason they are doing this is be-
cause the greatest gold discovery OF mod
ern times was made in their mine last Fri
day morning. So great is the amount OF
gold discovered that it sounds almost fabu-
lous, and were the men who made the find
less reliable and trustworthy citizens their
statements would hardly be believed. But
as well as having the best of regulations,
the men who make the statements also
show some of the finest gold ore ever
taken from the ground.
Like most big gold discoveries the one in
the Marguerite mine WAS made almost by
accident. The Marguerite mine is really
part OF the Old Salzac that was worked
SO profitabiy in 1860. At the time it
yielded vast amounts of the yellow metal,
but suddenly "petered," and the pro-
moters pulled out for Virginia City, little
thinking that within five feet of their
shaft there was a fortune concealed in the
rocks.
The Old Salzac mine lay abandoned and
half full of water until two years ago,
when the Marguerite Company, at the sug-
| gestion of Professor Deetrick, bought it.
He had discovered four outcroppings lying
a few hundred feet TO the north and con-
cluded that if a shaft was sunk about 800
feet and then tunneled so as to meet the
Old Salzac, the tunnel would pass through
the four ledges so that they could be
worked by stopping" The idea in making
the connection with the Old Salzac was to
provide ventilation.
The shaft and tunnel we're sunk as
directed and the tour Lodges were found in
their proper places. All yielded good
assay, so that the miners knew they had
fine piece of property. But what was their
surprise to find the tunnel suddenly strike
fifth ledge for which there was no out.

Mr.. Bland years ago that the quantity of
gold and silver coined under free coinage
should be the test of the volume of Gov
ernment currency and that Congress
should have no other control over the
issue of full, legal-tender money. That
was the real reason Mr.. Bryan was pre-
ferred over Mr.. Bland at the convention.
Mr.. Bland was not enough of Populist.
The candidate chosen has been and is a
Populist. He himself announced that he
is not a Democrat"
Mr.. Belmont trusted that the Demo
cratic party in the State of New York in
this crisis would hold faithfully to the
attitude it assumed at the Chicago con-
vention. 1t would be monstrous, he said,
to suppose anything else. That attitude
was one of uncom promising opposition to
