assembled in ST. Louis, If they had op-
posed the Presidents financial policy and
declared they would restore the money Of
the Constitution, and the democratic party
had Endorsed the administration, the repub-
Iican party would have swept the demo-
cratic party out Of existence. But what
did they do?
when they met they were controlled In
their deliberation by the same people who
had controlled the financial policy of this
administration and they wrote a platform
which would perpetuate the same financial
policy from which we are now suffering.
These same influences after dominating
the st. Louis convention, attempted to
dominate the Chicago convention, and write
a platform so much like the republican
platform on the money question that If
the two had been read to you you could
not have picked out which was which But
at last we got an issue.
Begun With the Voters.
The democratic party by beginning at
the ground and working up. instead Of COM
mencing at the top and working down, by
commencing with the voters instead of
commencing with the bosses, secured a
platform which breathes the spirit of the
Declaration of Independence and gives in
spiration to the toiling millions Of the
United States. 1t Is not strange that tens
and hundreds Of thousands have deserted
the republican party. Not day passes
but I meet republicans who tell me they
voted for Abraham Lincoln and voted the
republican ticket ever since, but they found
more of the republicanism of early days in
the democratic platform than they can find
in the republican platform of this year.

CHAIRMAN JONES' FIGURES
What the Chairman of the Republican Con-
gressional Committee Says of Them.
Some Statcs Are Included Which,
There is No Doubt, Will Go
for Mckinley.

The republican managers here are i'm
menscly ticked at the figures sent out
from democratic headquarters at Chicago
claiming big majorities in many states, and
claiming thirty-six out of the forty-fve
states for the democratic ticket.
THE figures are SO ridiculous" said
Chairman Bebcock to n Star reporter, that
l hardly know what to say about them
Since l have been in charge of the work Of
this committee ! have never made BOOM
erang statement of that kind. 1t doesn't
pay any party to do it. Two years ago
all our estimates were based on facts and
on undoubted information, and what We
give out this year will be of the same
kind.
chairman Jones might as we'll have
claimed the whole thing. He left only a
few states for the republicans, but don t
why he did this. When MIR. Jones came
here from New York short time ago he
claimed New York by a large majority.
l notice now that New York Is not in
cluded in the estimate ne gives out. That s
funny. l don't see how a manager can
say one thing one day and another the
next. A number OF states hl the Chicago
estimate are not even debatable ground,
they are so surely republican. For instance.
Wisconsin is claimed by the democrats by
3o,pD majority. Not even the democrats
in that state claim that they VIII win. The
lowest majority for the republicans l have
seen figured ON in Wisconsin is $4,000, and
we claim the state by 100000. An indica-
tion of the feeling in Wisconsin can be
judged by the betting Three weeks ago a
prominent republican of the state offered
to bet 81 600 to $500 that the state would
give republican plurality of $1,000. There
have been no takers, and the offer Is still
open.
Indiana. Illinois and Iowa are republi-
can past all question, and the only ques-
ton is the size of the majority the ticket
will get In those states. The most pre-
posterous thing Of all Is the claim that
Ohio will go for Bryan by 25,OOO majority
Our advices from Ohio are that the ma
jority for Mckinley will be fully as large
ago, and in all probability it will be much
greater. I have received trustworthy re.
ports from fully half Of the congressional
districts of the state and they show nc
lieve the reports from the other districts
will show the same state of affairs"

YOSEMITE PARK.
POachers and Herders Are Still After
Game and Grass.

Game and Grass.
Lieut.. Col L. B. NJ. Young, superinten-
dent of the Yosemite Park. has filed his
annual report with Secretary Francis. He
says trappers and hunters are still sue
cessfully destroying game in the park. in
spite of all precautions. He will not allow
any one to carry firearms into the park,
and every trail of access to the park bound
aries is regularly visited and some of them
patrolled; yet the poachers get In their
work. Copies of the rules governing the
park are posted conspicuously everywhere
Yet many hunting parties pretend inno-
Gently to be ignorant of them when over
taken by the soldiers. In some cases the
muslin placards warning visitors against
down. Numerous fires occur from camping
parties. Six were put out in July. Had
they occurred, as they might have, twenty
miles or more from Col. Young's camp, ex-
tensive destruction Of forests would have
occurred. Fishing permits are granted Wis
itors simply for daily use. Fish weighing
less than five ounces must be put back
alive. Brown. rainbow and cutthroat trout
eggs and fry have been planted in the
waters of the park this year, as usual.
Grouse and quail are multiplying rapidly.
This years young broods have been splen-
didly protected and have thriven. Large
game is not as plentiful as should be the
case where effort is made systematically
to protect it. Herders have, as usual, tried
to Craze their f1ocks in the park. One flock
of 1850 sheep early in the season was cap
tured, and while the two herders were held
prisoners the sheep were scattered many
miles in every direction. The superinten-
dent asks that the park boundaries be sur
veyed and marked and some money spent
on roads and trails.

The Democratic Clubs Meeting

j. Frank Snider, representing the Ma
tional Association Of Democratic Clubs. has
returned to the city from ST. Louis. where
he went to make all arrangements for the
meeting of the association in that city Oc-
tober B. Mr.. Snider reports to Secretary
Gardner that all will be in readiness when
the hosts of club members reach ST. Louis.
Secretary Gardner Is satisfied with every
thing but the railroad rates to the big con-
vention. The railroads have offered a one
and One-third rate for delegates from all
over the country, but Mr.. Gardner wants a
one-fare rate. He is fighting to get it, and
hopes to succeed. He says that the roads
gold convention and to the Young Mems
Republican League. He alleges that a one
fare rate is also given to Canton. He is un-
able to see why his association is not given
the same privileges. He believes the at
tendance at st. Louis will be far greater
than 1t was at Indinapolis.

I McKINLEY'S STATE
Importance of the Result of the First Repub-
Gcan Poll.
What the Democratic Managers Have
Answered-Efcct of Mnine's Vote.

The Stars very interesting letter from
Columbus, giving an outline of the first re-
publican poll of Ohio, is an important con-
tribution to the news of the day. The re-
ports from the state have all been contra
dictory, and had ranged all the way from
rosy estimates of hundred thousand ma
jority for Mr.. Mckinley to equally rosy es-
Inmates of fifty thousand majority for Mr..
Bryan. The Stars news is the first re-
ceived that bears with anything like au-
thentic detail on the actual situation.
Democratic Assertions.
While there has never been a serious
doubt in republican circles here that Ohio
was safe for her own son. some of the re-
publican leaders have felt that no doubt on
the subject ought to be permitted to exist
anywhere A sort of doubt has been
created here and there by the very insist
ence of the democratic managers that they
were gaining in Mr.. McKinley's own bail
iWfck. 1t has been Felt. therefore. that the
whole matter should be cleared up at once,
and particularly because of the effect it
would have In all the surrounding territory.
The Bryan people have been coun ting on
beneficial results from industriousiy circu-
lating stories in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa ard
Kentucky that the republican candidate
was weak right at home. Voters in those
states have been asked to believe that sill
yer was making astounding headway in
Ohio. and could not in any circumsta tances
be checked.
Must Equal Maine.
Then this great vote that Maine has
thrown is taken into account. Mr.. Reed
state. it is said must not be permitted to
outstrip Mr.. McKinleys state in the race
MIR. Mckinley at ST. Louis won hands
down. The west, the south, the northwest
and the middle states, all supported him
and they should give a good account OF
themselves at the polls. Mr.. Mckinley's
friends do not relish the bare suggestion
of Mr.. Reeds constituents doing more fol-
the ticket than Mr.. Mckinley's. Vermont
and Maine have filled republican hearts
with good cheer and confidence, and this
should not be checked by permitting for
long any doubts to hang over the condi.
ton of affairs Immediately under the eyes
of the candidate himself.
Submitted to Mr.. Hanna.
This matter, 1t is said. has been sub.
| mitted to Mr.. Hanna. 1t was not sup
posed that he was ignorant Of affairs al
home. or that he was neglecting them, bu
inasmuch as he has so much to consider
1t was thought not improper to sugges
the taking of steps to relieve at once any
anxiety that may exist anywhere about
republican prospects in the buckeye coun
try.

Indians Arrested.

Acting Governor Burdick of Wyoming
has telegraphed the Indian office that the
local authorities, acting under his dlrec-
tions, have arrested a number of Indians
for hunting at Jackson's Hole, in violation
of state game laws. He urged the Indian
bureau to prevent any further violations
Of the law and avoid conflict with the state
authorities. Agent Teter has been in
structed by the Indian bureau to bring
back all the Indians. and if they refuse to
come under arrest by the Indian police to
call for troops Agent Teter has replied
that the Indian police have already been
sent after the Indians, and that they will
be brought back. There are from twenty TO
thirty Indians and their families in the
hunting parties. 1t Is stated at the Indian
Office here that no trouble heed be feared.

Hope to Garry the State

Republican hopes IN North Carolina and

The information comes in letters from all

Mckinley can carry North Carolina. The
Legroes are for sound money: all business
men there, democrats or republicans are
for sound money; many old democrats, like
myself, who never voted the republican
ticket in our lives before now, declare they
will vote for Mckinley. If the republicans
there will put cut straight republican ma
tional ticket. continuing their state alliance
with the pOpuiists. they will carry the state
by a clear majority, and we sound money
democrats will help them do it. We are

HE FEARED ExPOsCRE.
Suicide of Young Man Who Had
PersOnHted a German Baron.

SAN FRANCISCO, September lS.-With
the Identification Of the body Of an un
known youth who committed suicide under
mysterious circun stances at Martinez on
Sunday last the story of the eventful but
brief career Of an alleged German baron
at Belmont. in San Mateo county, has Just
come to light.
About year ago a tramp was picked up
on the highway between Redwood City and
Belmont by a philanthropic resident of the
latter place. who took him home and gave
him employment. After working for al
most nine months. the youth. who was
known as Harry Moerirg. contided 10 the
ladies of his employers house that he was
an impostor- Instead of being ordinary
tramp he was Baron Z. Won Zedwitz the
eldest son of a German nobleman. Among
other incidents of his life he related that
he had been an officer in the German navy
but had deserted his snip for sorie i'm
aginary grievance, when in South Africa
and had worked his way to this coast
Since his arrival here he mad been CORE
spending With his father, and the latter
who was a personal and intimate friend
of the German emperor, had exercised his
political pull, and that he had not only
been forgiven for deserting his skip, lat
had been honored by an appointment as a
first lieutenant. He also incidentally men
tcned that his dear mother had died IN
Germany. and on her death bed had for
given him and bequeathed him sum equal
to about So,WO in American money.
Recent letters, he also stated. had been
received by him announcing that an allow
ance would soon be forwarded to him by
his father, who was anxious for him to re-
turn to his fatherland. AS he produced let
ters to substantiate his story, his romance
was credited by one member of the family
at least, the youngest daughter Of his en-
ployer's, who astonished her relatives 10y
announcing shortly afterward that she had
pighted her troth to the baron. Pending
| inquiry, the distinguished foreigner ceased
| to work and lived as the honored guest OF
| his bencfactor, but just before letter ar
rived from Germany denouncing him as an
impoStor he disappeared.

story circulated in the United States that
the Prince of Wales had been injured while

OUT IN MISSOURI.
Democrats Expect to Curry All bu1
Two Congregational Districts.

Reports have been received at democratic
headquarters from the state democratic
committee of Missouri as to the situation
in that state The reports, 1t Is said, are
based on polls made in parts of the state
and estimates made by county and town
committees where polls had not been COM
pleted- The state committee figures out
d majority of 10000 for Bryan. Upon the
same basis the congressional committee
here has made computations as to the con-
gresSiona districts and believes that all
but two of the democratic nominees for
Congress will he elected. The report from
the Missouri committee says: THE silver
wave is not subsiding in this state but Is
Increasing in volume Daily defections are
reported from the republican ranks. The
gold ticket will not affect the result"
