The OLE and New Policies,

1t does not require n reference to
political platforms to show that the
country has been in a lad condition
for the last three or four years. 1t is
fact known to every business man
and to overy workingman in the
United States. The National Treas
ury has baen almost bankrupt; the
public revenues have been insufficient
To meet the yearly expenditures; con.

trade has been depressed, esd labor
has suffered.
To what do we owe these misfor
tunes7 We have had no devastating
war. The heavy hand of pestilence
has not been on US. There has been
no crop famine to afllict us. On the
contrary, we have been at peace. the
public health has been good and
Providence has favored us with bouD
tiful crops. The fault must be with
those who have shaped and contro!
led our National policy. Incapacity,
recklessness or corruption on the
part of our rulers must huye brought
the country to its present condition.

An Able Crank.

Jno. Sherman said in the Senate
some years ago:
"To adopt the gold standard alone
and demopetize silver would be to
deprive the poor people of the
world OF money. which alone meas.
ures the value of their productions,
and their labor"
again:
Gold alone is not suitable for a
currency, because it will not measure
the daily wants of the great mass of
mankind,
Still more:
"The utter ruin that would come
to mankind, especially to the poorer
nations. by the entire demonstration
OF silver cannot be estimated by us.
Take one half of the sound money
OF the world out of existence, take
the sole standard of more than two
thirds OF the human race, reduce it
to base metal, and the effect upon
the commerce of the world would be
incalculable. Itcannot be done; it
will not bedone. There is no dan.
ger OF it. These two metals, gold
aud silver, have travelled side by side
from the beginning OF time; the rec.

The Local Republican Captains
Are Up a Stump
WHERE THEY ARE ALL AT
The Leaders Are Busy Watching Things
In the North
Only One Thing So Far Settled and That Is
That the Colonel VIII Not Be
Delegate to St. Louis

Republican politics is. in this section of
the state, just now decidedly mixed and
the crude times are such that just at pres
ent no one appears to know just how the
cards in the game are to be dealt.
The action of the state central commit
tee in decreeng that the apportionment al
iotted for the purpose shall this year NEE
in congressional district convention instead
of calling together county convention
for the purpose of electing delegates to the
state convention which is to select men to
go to St. Louis, has upset the plans of all
the local leaders. The new deal was en-
tirely unexpected. The object of the
plan was to nip in the bud the
prospective supremacy throughout the
state of John d. Spreckles, who
is desirous of leading the delegation
to the national Republican convention.
Spreckles wants Charles Shortridge. his
owner of the San Francisco Call, to sue
ceed Editor M. H. de Young upon the
national committee. This program is in
opposition, of course, to Dan Nj. Burns,
and incidentally to the Southern Pacific
railroad company. Judge DAILY, formerly
of this city. later OF Ventura and now OF
Sacramento where he is code COM
missioner, sprung the district convention
plan at the state committee meeting at the
last moment. His idea appears to have
been a compromise all around, but he has
hit wide of the mark, for all OF the factions
have their wrath turned in his dire ction.
The result of the row has been to call
another meeting of the state committee
where an attempt at some sort OF har mony
is to be made.
Down here one thing has been settled
upon and that is that Colonel H..
Gray Otis is not to go to st.
Louis, at least not as a delegate.
He is to be- sat down upon so hard if he
goes fishing for honors that he will swallow

STATE A. P. A. CONVENTION
Los Angeles Delegates Returning From
San Francisco
Charles e. Day Will Get In This Morning g--The
State Orphan Asylum Proposition-Ths
Combine Against Los Angeles

Several of the Los Angeles delegation
who went notrh to attend the state conven-
ton of the A. p. A. returned from San
Francisco yesterday afternoon, and the re-
mainder with Charles E. Day, who was
elected one of the state vice.presidents,
will probably arrive this morning.
The south made warm contest for this
city as the place for holding the next state
convention. Against Los Angeles were ar
rayed the supporters of San Francisco,
Oakland and Stockton. 1t was only when
those favorng these three cities combined
to indorse the claims of the last that the
cause of Los Angeles was lost.
The vote stood so in favor of Stockton.
The principal objection urged by the dele
gates from the northern and central parts
of the state was the distance which the
majority would have to travel in order to
reach Los Angeles. 1t required nearly two
hours for the convention to reach its final
decision.
1t could not be learned last evening
whether any action had been taken by the
state convention looking to the establish
ment of a state orphan asylum or not.
Some days ago there was a meeting of rep
reseDtatives of the various local lodges of
this city and the immediate vicinity. at
which this subject was discussed. The
plan, as near as can be learned, was at
that time to agree on plans for the estab-
lishment of an orphan asylum in this city
for the benefit of the order throughout the
state The southern representatives are
said to have been very enthusiastic over
the proposition, and it was the intention
at the time to bring the matter before the
state convention, but if this was done
nothing has appeared in the papers
about it.
organizers of the A. P. A. in this city and
who has taken prominent part in the
councils of the association, was asked by a
HERALD reporter what he knew about the
matter. He said that he knew nothing
except in a general way. He knew that
the matter had been under consideration
by the southern members, but he was not
