Candidates Are Still at War,
Though the Voters Have
Decided.
4 SURPRISE AT PASADENA.
Several Straight Republicans Defeated
by the Candidates of the
Citizens Ticket.

TACOMA, WASH, April 14.-The Demo.
cratic State Convention tonight adopted
the following platform:
Recognizing that honest men may differ on
questions of party policy and principle We
differ from the President upon the financial
question. We commend the administration of
President Cleveland as honest, able and fear
less, and we now reaffirm our mistaken con-
f1dence in the integrity, Americanism and
patriotism of the great chief magistrate of the
Nation.
We believe in the Monroe doctrine, as in
terpreted by President Cleveland and his able
Secretary of State, Richard Olney. We de-
mand the free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the
intervention of any other nation.
The effort in the committee on resol u
ions to have plank inserted instructing
1.-THE delegation to the National Convention
to vote for silver failed of passage after a

Democratic Convention at Chicago resulted
in the choice of H. G. Wallace, w. H.
White, Sol G. Simpson, J. E. Fenton, R..
c. McCloskey. Thomas Maloney, R. c..
Darling and J. f. Gerton. They were in
structed to work for free-c coinage plank
and for candidates known to be in favor OF
free coinage. Three of the number, how
ever, are known to be goldites.

As live by the pen I must say that one
of the most pleasant and affa BILE gentlemen
it has been my good fortune to meet po-
litely gave me an interview Yesterday.
His name is John Monahan and he is a
printer-a printer known far and wide on
the Pacific Coast. People had told me of
Mr. Monahan, so that had come prepared
to meet good-natured man and was not
at all embarrassed when he smilingly told
me what he thought of California her
products and her Sarsaparila. Said he:
ION the subject of Sarsaparilla my opinion
is fixed. While have no reason to know
or to say that other sarsaparillas are of no
value, have every reason to know and to
say that joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla is of
| inestimable value for not only have some
of my relatives used it, but have actually
tried the Sarsaparilla and know its true
value. 1t is delicate matter for one to
speak of the virtues of proprietary rem
edy. Nevertheless, the truth stands in the
bright light of reason and overcome es deli
cate feelings, for the truth is mighty, and
the mighty truth is that joys Sarsaparilla
is made of California herbs and contains
no deleterious mineral poisons I am
personally acquainted with gentleman
who suffered from violent headaches, and
he suffered continuously, and perhaps
would have been suffering now but that
he used the home remedy, joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla. He recommends joys Vege-
table Sarsaparilla, and so do I. It is
very pleasing remedy for women because
it is not nasty to the taste and it's effects
are pleasant. In the spring of the year,
when nature is at work renewing herself,
he who desires to renew and make rich
the blood can do no better than use the
home remedy, joys Vegetable Sarsapa-
rilla."
AS I left John Monahan. the printer, I
could not help but think what an abund-
ance Of philosophic humor he possessed.

DOGS AND FISHES.
A Valuable Canine Shot in the Presidfo
Reservation-Bass From San Diego.

A Valuable Canine Shot in the Presidfo
Reservation-Bass From San Diego.
Fish Commissioner Babcock received
letter yesterday from Deputy Al Wilson,
who Is at present located near the great
bass and pickerel lake in San Diego County
with his companion, Cross. Wilson says
that owing to the extreme cold weather of
the past week it was utterly impossible for
him to draw seines for bass. He arrived
at the lake on the 9th inst, in the midst
of binding snowstorm, and he imme-
diateIy concluded that it would be very
unwise on his part to attempt the capture
of bass and pickerel until such time as the
weather would permit. He is in hopes
that an opportunity will soon permit of
the capture of several fish which, on their
arrival in this City, will be transported to
Clear Lake, in Lake County.
A handsome fox-terrier, the property of
MIR. Martin, the manager of the Sharon
estate, was shot and killed recently by a
soldier at the Presidio. Mr.. Martin was
mpanied by his two favorte dogs
while taking short walk near the military
reservation. Something attracted the at
tention of the CANNES, and they unfor
tunately ran within the line, SO to speak,
and before their owner could reach them
a soldier leveled his rife at one and fired.
The aim OF the blue coat proved deadly,
and as he was about to aim at the second
dog its owner interfered and some warm
exchanges of words followed. The soldier
informed Mr.. Martin that he was carrying
out strict orders from General Graham
and was obeying command.
Dog No. was taken in charge and
turned over to the Poundkeeper. This
should serve as a warning to the owners of
valuable dogs to steer clear OF the Presidio
when out for constitutional with their
canine charges.
The Fly-casters' Club met last evening

bench show, which will be held next month

bound to crown the efforts of the mana

eport of the Board of Naval Officers ap-
pointed to conduct the final or efficiency
trial of the battleship Indiana has been re.
ceived at the Navy Department 1t shows

maintained an average speed of 1917 knots
an excellent showing for ship designed
to run 10 knots under the best conditions
The horsepower developed was nearly
5OOO. There was very little roll, the maxi

CRUEL USALITo TOTERs.
Why the Band Did Not Play after the
Fotes We're Counted.


Fotes We're Counted.
SAUSALITO, CAL, April 14.-The
trouble in Sausalito is not yet ended by
any means. The encounter between Creed
and Brandes was the opening of hostilities.
Before the election Creed said that either
he or Brandes would have to get out of the
town or there would be trouble. Creed
Creed overwhelmingly defeated Brandes
at the polls, so either Brandes must take
leave or await developments.
Alfred Brandes is the night watchman
in Sausalito and John E. Creed is the
Marshal. The night watchman's g remuner-
alton is obtained by subscriptions from
the people on his route, and in view of the
recent troubles many of his customers it
is said, are leaving him. Whether Greed
intends to carry out his threat remains to
be seen, but the people of Sausalito who
know him say that he will.
Among the election stories going the
rounds is one on the Sausalito brass band.
II seems that Antoine Lawrence. the day
before election, hired the band to play
when the result of the election was an
nOunced.
Lawrence was confident of being elected
and so had made arrangements accord
lnglY. Lawrence was defeated by Just
three votes. While the ballots were being
counted at the Town Hall the mem bers of
the band were getting in trim to thunder
forth the strains of country music in honor
of Lawrence. Buttons were frightened
the tiny lamps that the mem bers wear in
their hats on dress occasions were refilled
and lighted, and never before had the
boys appeared so well.
At the risk of spelling their uniforms
they were going out in the fog to play for
Lawrence. They assem- bled at their room
In the basement of local h otel and waited
for the summons to march out and cele-
brate. 1t never came. Fielder had de-
feated Lawrence by three otes.

WIFE OF A PRESIDENT.
Mrs. George Q. Cannon a Visitor in San
Francisco.


Francisco.
Prominent in the congregation of Latter
Day Saints at Pythian Castle on Sunday
afternoon was Mrs. Cannon, wife of Hon.
George @. Cannon, one OF the first presi-
dents of the Mormon Church and formerly
Delegate to Congress from Utah, and
mother of United States Senator Frank J..
Cannon of that infant State.
She has been visiting her son, Hugh
Cannon, in Nevada, and since February
recupera:ing her health in Los Angeles.
She is spending few days with ber old
friend, Mrs. Sophia King, at Alameda,
and will leave this week for her home in
Salt Lake City.
Mrs. Cannon is type of the Mormon
mothers in Israel. She ia a small woman
of matronly figure and kindly face. There
IS nothing special in her appearance to
distinguish her from the millions Of good
wives and mothers in the land. But upon
those who come within the radius Of her
personality she exerts the unconscious
magnetism of forceful intelligence and
gentle nature. She is beloved by her peo-
pie and is veritable Lady Bountiful.
at their home, rambling brick house
on the picturesque Cannon Farm" a
mile west of Salt Lake City, President and
Mrs: Cannon disperse generous hospitality
to old and young.
