GONE WRONG AGAIN.

OF late politics i'm California has been

of John ID. Spreckels to swing the re
publicans into line for Allison. Early
in the game Mr.. Spreckels obligated
himself to Allison, presuming that he
could deliver CALIFORNIA; vote. 1t be-
came perfectly apparent some time ago
that he had reckoned without his host
to defeat Mckinley in that state was
a hopeless undertaking Curiosity was
ripe to know. in the presence of sure
defeat in a fight for Allison, what
course Mr.. Spreckels would pursue
the San Francisco Call. of Spreckels'
The best the Call could do was to say
a few days ago, that IL had no favorite
but was for the best man.
Seeing what was inevitable, Mr..
Spreckels wisely gave up the fight, af-
ter a decker which ostensibly makes
licanism. That is title which. of
course, Mr.. Spreckels Will have to de-
fend later on. Meanwhile the more vi
tai fact is that, at the hands of the
republicans of the Pacific slope. silver
makes another losing. There isn't any
doubt on that score; the convention at
Sacramento has not announced it's
platform but of what account are
professions in silver's favor in a state
convention that goes pell nell for an
anti-silver presidential candidate?

An Attempt at suicide That Failed-The

Aldermen-E Eject Seated.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Livingston, May 5.-An unknown
man made an attempt at suicide to-
day al Chicory, 20 miles up the Park
branch. AS the train was slowing up
at that point the fellow sprang from
the concealment between two box cars
which stood on the siding and pros
trated himself on the main track, right
in front of the engine. That he was
not killed was due to the fact that the
train was moving very slowly and the
guard of the engine cast him to one
side. He came near being scalped
though, a deep wound pelng inflicted
almost entirely around his head. He
picked himself up, put on his hat and
embarked on the coach. He absolutely
refused to give any account of who he
was or why he made the attempt to
kill himself. He was brought to Liv
ingston, where his wounds were dress
ed, and it being evident that he was
not of sound mind, he was taken to
Jail for safe keeping. He is probably
one of a gang of men who arrived a
few days ago from ST. Paul to work
on the railroad. He worked a short
time on the extra crew of Theodore
Williams. His crazy symptoms were
first developed yesterday. He is
Swede, about 30 years old.

brings the Standard into competition
with the great dailies in San Francisco,
