Pike read the platform he met with the
disappointment OF his life. He read the
indorsing paragraph and duly paused after
the words, Bryan and Sewali," but there
was no response. Suddenly the son OF
Postmaster White took the cue and kicked
the floor. Others followed suit, and the
name of the Nebraska man who uses
ScriptuIal SMILES was accorded a half
hearted cheer.
Chairman Laymance of the County Cen
trail Committee called the delegates, and il
was found that there vas large number
of proxies. Seth Mann was unanimously
elected TO preside over the convention and
Leo Park was made secretary.
During the recess there was little ex-
element. ]. B. Bernard, liveryman of
Niles, became involved in an alteration
with J. P. Bedard, blacksmith of the
same place, upon the floor of the conven-
ton and slapped the latters face. Dur
ing the primaries Bernard bet Bedard $40
that he (Bernard) would be in the conven-
ton. When they met to-day it was in
the delegations seats on the floor and
Bernard told Bedard that he had no bust
ness there. Bedard replied that Bernard
had stuffed the ballot box to get there.
This Was denied with an oath and the lie
was passed when Bernard slapped the 9TH
er's face and friends parted them.
AT the noon hour Bedard swore to a
warrant for his assailant's arrest. During
the afternoon session an officer came in

The Democrats, Populists and silver
men held mass-meeting at the Taber-
nacle tonight. The hall was pretty well
filled with an audience which had gath
cred to hear Senator S. NJ. White deliver
an address. 1t is the first meeting held
by the united Bryan forces since his nom
ination. Senator White was escorted
from the train by band and an escort OF
the Young Mems Democratic Club.
Nj. J. Laymance of the County Demo
cratic Committee called the meeting to
order.
George w. Baker was the first speaker
and he briefly reviewed the progress of the
Silver League of the Pacific Coast since its
organization. He said it consisted OF
Democrats, Republicans and Populists
and is daily growing larger and more
powerful. In pretty sentence Mr.. Baker
introduced Miss MoIlie E. Corners, editor
of Oakland Saturday Night.
"Things have come 10 a pretty pass,
said Miss Connors, when man of Sc is
called a boy orator. Pitt ruled England
when he was even younger than Bryan
whom they oeride and ridicule to-day
anu call a youth. hdi DRY du 10 do SOON
a partner as you want for your President.
Co ming into our Golden Gate this fall We
shall see our ship of state, the BryanItt
ship, and nailed at the masthead shall be
the flag of free silver and prosperity to 6
clamoring Nation"
Warren B. English made few remarks
and introduced the speaker OF the evening
Stephen M. White.
"Our entire country stands to-day" be
said, lin the attitude of helpless, heart
sick baby Nation. This is the hour when
American yeomanry is at premium and
not party influences, of which we know
and hear so much. Two years ago your
State convention resolved IN favor OF the
free and unlimited coinage of silver. You
meant 1t then and you mean 1t now. am
here now to call on you to arise above the
dictates OF Mark Hanna"
Mr.. White spoke at length upon what
he considered the basis of Republicanism
In California. He alluded TO the widely
different and, as he thought, inconsistent
action OF the Republicans in a later con-
VentloE than that held at Sacramento.
Mr.. White concluded his speech by out
lining The policy upon which his party
expected to win out. 1t is mainly by re-
strlcting foreign immigr alton and by
nghting the money markets of the world
in open battle.

waiting for his share of the gate money
Although return match between the

Brown is particularly incensed at not
receiving his money because he did such
excellent work. The agreement called for
a maximum of twenty rounds and so
adroit was Brown that MulverhiI was

The match was arranged by Frank

and is supposed 10 hail from San Fran
cisco. From her appearance one would
not have the least suspicion that she was
engaged in the 'sniping" business, but
on the other hand would rather take her
for prosperous forewoman of shirt fac
tory, or head ironer in a modern laundry.
At her present occupation she is GER
tainly an adept. The system under which
she carries on her business is indeed
unique. Walking along the sidewalk like
any other pedestrian, but close 10 the
gutter, however, she first ''spots" her
sought-for 'snipe." Passing it by at first,
she suddenly wheels about and drops q
newspaper, which she always carries, on
top OF the "smipe" Ostensibly STOPPING
to pick up the paper, she secures both pa
per and cigar stump. When no one is
looking she slips her lind" into large
pocket sewed on the inside OF long, loose
shoulder-cape Proceeding along until
another "butt" has been found the method
of getting it into her bag is repeated.
To-day she worked the district around
Berkeley station and Dwight way, and
then took the streetcar for more extensive
fields IL Oakland.
The unusual spectacle of a woman gath
eriDg cigar stubs caused quite furry OF
excitement on the streets. The peculiar
smoothness with which she conducted her
operations excited much interest, and be-
she had following after her u crowd OF ten
or more curious men and boys.

Comparatively little scratching was
done on either ticket. The general senti-

himself to work vigorously for the inter

Warner made two clever catches OF
fouls. one after 4 hard run and the other

There were so many errors yesterday
that no doubt Umpire Lyncb's mind was
somewhat bcfuddled.
Cartwright caught Tiernan's liner by
raising himself off the ground about four

Had Tom Brown captured Beckley's hit in
the fourth inning he would have been
