REPUBLICAN CITY COMMITTEE.
An Enjoyable Outing at the Hauierive
Grounds Yesterday.

Nearly every member OF the Republican
city committee with few guests, invited
by individual members, were at the
Hautcrive grounds yesterday afternoon,
whtre a deligh htful dinner was served by
Mr.. Earl the club chef.
Ii was strictly fraternel gathering,
with Colonel Olney at the head of the
table; aud IL any one talked politics it
was only TO his next neighbor at the
dinner, for after-dinner exercises con-
sisted of socability rather than oratory.
The reception in the club house was en-
livened by an impromptu game OF match
POOL between Councilman Gardiner and
Roswell Z. Smith. the rivals for the cue
championship OF the Fifth Ward.

Take No Chances.

Some people seem 10 think that be'
cause the Populists nominated Bryan
his election is doubly assured. They
don't stop to consider that the people OF
this country do not vote directly foI
president and vice-president, but they
vote for presidential electors. To eX'
plain how easily Bryan can be defeated
although he gets siXty-six per cent Of
the popular vote OF every state IN the
union, we will take Colorado as an Illus
trat.on. presuming that her people cast
100 coo votes: The Bryan and Sewall
electors receive 1900 votes; the Bryan
and Watson electors receive 5000: the
Mckinley and Hobart electors receive
$4,000. The latter, having plurality.
get the certificates of election, regard
less of the fact that Bryan has an ap-
parent majority in the state of 60 go
The situation narrows itself to this,
that il either Watson OF Sewall cannot
withdraw in favor of the other, go that
there shall be but one electoral ticket
for the Populists and Democrats, or a
division of electors between them is rot
made, Bryan's chances for election are
needessly jeopardized. Is his plurality
in al! the states he needs must carry
large enough TO take these chances!
