SiLvlR REPUBLICANS

Are Net Office Seekers and win Not Mig In
County Poi tics
The silver Republicans will take no
part as an organization in county poll
tics. They will devote themselves ex-
clusively to securing the defeat Of James
McLachlan. the pledge breaker and the
election Of William Bryan. the friend of
silver coinage, to the presidency.
This was the decision arrived at yes
terday by the committee appointed to
confer with the Populists and Demo-
Gratis as to county fusion. The commit
tee consisted of Nathan Cole, tr., Suther-
land Hutton and c. w. Edison, of the
Antelope valley. The committee held
a meeting yesterday and the decision
was that 1t was not advisable for the sill
yer Republicans as an organization to
mix in county politics.
The club was Invited to send a COM
mittee to confer with the Democrats
and Populists and this committee was
appointed, but beyond extending thanks
for the recognition given. nothing will be
done.
The free silver Republicans, so the
members OF the committee state. are in
the present fight to do all they can for
silver. but beyond this they do not pro-
pose to go. None of the members of the
Free Silver Republican club are candi-

THE manner in which the Alliance ac-

mans. So far from being received with

vance agents Of Mckinley prosperity.

the Hon. w. r. Davis appealed to the
loyalty of the party, but the Republi-
cans before them yelled for Bryan and
shouted for silver with. at times, even
louder reclamation than greeted the
name of Mckinley.
THE meaning Of this Is plain. The
Republicanism Of Southern California
has melted away before the free coinage
movement. The era Of hard times has
turned the attention of the people to the
money question, and study of the
money question has made them enthus-
iastic advocates of the broader curren-
cy basis to be furnished by the bimetal-
lie standard.
THE Bryan movement Is spreading
like wildfire among the Republicans of
California. In the south 1t is estimated
that from one-fourth to one-third Of
the party have deserted Mckinley and

silver In Central and Northern Cali

The Republican enthusiasm In South

leaders realize 1t. They have given up

state for Mckinley 1t is admitted
by everyone that McLachlan Is beaten.
Still the party leaders are desirous of

The Republican national committee

CONGRESSIONAL FUSION

Everything Look ng Sm,oth end Prospects
Much Nor Bri,iisrt rh,n Antic,pited
The probability that fusion OF the sill.
yer forces will be secured in all OF the
congressional districts In California Is
more than likely. In majority of them
1t is certain. The two contested districts
are thu First and Sixth-this one.
The committee which has the matter
in charge Is still In session in San Fran
cisco. 1t comprises six Populists, six
Democrats and three Siverites. The Ex-
aminer has this to say of the situation in
this congressional district:
Much interest attaches to the struggle
between ex-Assemblyman G. A. Barlow
of San Luis Obispo. the Populist nominee
in the Sixth district. and Harry Patton.
editor of Los Angeles Capital. his DEM
ocratic opponent. Backing Patton came
representatives of both sides of the re-
cent fight in the Sixth district conven-
ton. j. w. Mitchell and A. Ramish
from the Rose side and MIR. Creighton
of the Los Angeles Herald, one of George
S. Patton's staunchest supporters In the
stubborn contest. were all sounding Har-
ry Patton's praises; but J. Marion
Brooks, one of the Rose men, said he was
there to slaughter Patton and help Bar
low. The last named was also supported
by earnest Populist workers, eager to
show how easily their champion could
defeat McLachlan. Both Patton and
Barlow sent In their designations some
time ago.
In speaking Of the showing made by
Messrs. Barlow and Patton before the
committee. the Examiner says:
1t took some time to make this much
progress in the First district Then the
Sixth district was taken up. Boz. Bar
low and Patton addressed the commit
tee and both left favorable Impressions
behind them. Each pledged himself to
abide absolutely by the committees ac-
tion and to work for the committees Sc
lection during the campaign. There Is no
hostility between the two candidates or
their supporters, and when the fusion is
accomplished 1t will amount to some
thing.
OF the nominees who have not yet re-
signed, Vann, Populist in the Third
district, is expected to do so; Monteith,
Populist, in the First district, probably
will; McGlashan, Populist, in the Sec
ond district. and Kelly, Democrat, in the
Fifth district are ready to present them
selves before the committee. In this con-
dition of affairs, complete fusion in all
the districts Is not impossible.

The struggle to control the caucuses
IN the city tonight will be quite sharp
II the Third and Fourth and the Eighth

The Republican machine has been well

Won by the Miners.

Saturdays DeLamar Nugget says:
"This camp is once more in cheer
full mood, the strike happily ended
and the miners going to work. The
manager of the company has ac-
ceded to the Miners Union and the
former hands will soon be back in
their old positions. The stamps
will all soon be again dropping in
the mill and bullion will once more
be coming from the retorts.
The happiest part of the whole
affair is, that during. month of
idleness for nearly two hundred
men, all of them have deported
themselves so well that not an act
of violence has been committed, OF
even a single breach of the peace.
Such a quiet strike, held out SO
persistently, is almost an unheard
of event and it speaks volumes fol
the good sense of all concerned.
Now that the men have won Their
demands and have won so grace
fully that even the manager has
pleasantly complimented them and
it is to be hoped that any i'll feeling
that may have been engendered by
the differences which existed may
be promptly buried and forgotten
and that the greatest mine in Idaho
may have its affairs hereafter move
as smoothly as all right minded
men wish they may.
