M'KINLEY's STRENGTH GROWS.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Aug. 30.-It is
stated that the Republican State Central
Committee has decided to place Colonel
81. q. Osborne, editor of the Evening Ex-
press, on the electoral ticket, in the place
made vacant by the resignation of Colonel
c. F. Croker. 1t has been argued by the
friends of Osborne that, as the northern
part of the State was represented in the
choice of Irving M. Scott Southern Cali
fornia should be recognized, too. Mr.. Os-
borne is prominent in politics in this Sec
ton and is popular in the party.
The one topic of discussion to-day has
been the monster political demonstration
in favor of Mckinley at Hazards Pavilion
last night. The result of the attempt of a
band OF Democrats to disturb the orators
has been to set thoughtful people against
the chaotic Bryan crowd. Colonel Harri-
son Gray Otis, whose able speech at Pasa-
dena did much in aid of the cause, said
to-day: THE great meeting has done
much to unite Republicans and to insure
the chances of a victory for Mckinley
In the same strain were the words of
Colonel II. q. Osborne, Frank Flint and
other prominent men who have studied
the situation. Some who favored free
silver at the outset now begin to see that
open mills and busy factories are what
the people need and that free silver on the
Bryan plan is delusion and snare.
John G. Collins, well-known carpenter,
who has summed up the situation care
fully said to CALL correspondent to-
night:
"At the outset there was considerable
hurrah over Bryan in Iaboring circles, but
l can say beyond all doubt that the tide
has set IN the other way in dead earnest.
Where there were ten men for Bryan at
the start there are not five now"
In every part of the city there is marked
interest to-day in the campaign for pro-
lection ana prosperity and the Republi-
cans are feeling much encouraged since
the Inauguration of the campaign with
the monster meeting.
