BAY CITY WHEELMEN.
Annual Meeting of tho Members OF This
Prosperous Cycling Club.

Annual Meeting of the Members OF This
Prosperous Cycling Club.
The annual meeting of the members OF
the Bay City Wheelmen was held Tuesday
evening at the club house, AL Golden
Gate avenue. The reports of the various
officers and committees show the club to
be in prosperous and progressive condi-
ton. Expensive Improvements have re-
Gently been made in the clubrooms, in
Guiding the addition of baths, lockers,
training and wheel rooms. During the
past fiscal year but sixteen members re-
signed, and the membership to-day is
146, with three applicants to be voted
upon. The mem bers present at the meet
ing applauded the reading of the various
reports, and otherwise evidenced cons1d-
cradle satisfaction with the condition OF
the club and the conduct of its affairs.
Their appreciation Was further shown by
a vote of thanks rendered the retiring
board of directors, which consisted of
Frank II. Kerrigan, Horace P. Howard,
Harry Larkin, Sandford Plummer, Walter
ID. Sheldon, George P. Wetmore, William
H. Toepke, Albert J. MEME, Charles A.
Elliot, Frank II. Waters and Byron d.
Bent.
The election of a nominating commit
tee of seven members to name the direc-
tors for the ensuing year resulted in the
selection of William H. Toepke, Theodore
c. Dodge, George P. Hall, ]. NJ. Pike,
Stephen w. G. Brode, David Met. Mar
shall and jeremiah Kellom. This COM
mittee will meet at the clubhouse tonight,
and will probably renominate all but four
of the former directors. The principal
fight will be over the captaincy of the
club, a position of considerable import
ance, for which the candidates now in the
field are George E. Dixon, T. A. Griffiths,
II. a. Goddard and one or two dark horses.
The Bay Citys' crack professional riders
will com pete at different places on the
9th. H. F. Terrill lett for San Jose yester-
day end will ride there. w. A. Terrill

Grand Street Parade This Morning
and Opening Performance at Night
in Central Park.
The greatest circus that has ever come
to San Francisco will arrive this morning
in three special trains that have been the
marvel of the country through which
they passed. To be more exact, two big
shows consolidated in one monster aggre-
cation of star artists, hippodromes,
menageries, etc., is coming. For this
year the people of San Francisco are to
have an opportunity of seeing the great
Forepaugh and Sells brothers shows.
Though the unweildy mass of freight,
representing tents, animals, horses, prop
critics, wardrobes and brilliant ehariots for
street pageants will not be here until late
In the morning, there will be parade
Immediately afterward and q performance

The parade will be made through the
City at noon, the pageant starting from
Central Park at IL 80 and marching down

Great things are promised for this
parade. There will be over 800 wild ami

and many of the artists, all of which will
convey some idea of the strength of the
double circus.

THE COUNTY CONVENTION

TO all good silver men. ~irrespectivc

Perusual OF the resolutions adopted by
the Republican county convention.
which met in this city last Saturday.
NO one can read them and assert, con-
sclentlously, that the Republicans of
Madison put party above all else. It IS
silver, first, last and all the time, and
protection is not lost sight of. The
meat OF the resolutions is in the follow
ing:
SecOnd-1t is the sense of this con.
ventiOn that the Republicans of Mad.

pressed by this resolution is predomi-
nant IN the party in Montana. and if
would not surprise us to see MANY
county conventions follow the lead of
Madison county. Indeed. we would
not be surprised to see ever the state
convention pass a similar resolution.
1t is a radical departure from political
precedent. which Of late years has
dropped into a narrow '.follow your

like these, it is right, and being right

THE HALL PROPOSITION.

At Tuesday evenings meeting of the
city council the initial steps were taken
looking to the matter of bonding the
city for the purpose of erecting a city
hall. The question will be submitted
to the qualified electors at a special
election to be held June l..
The proposition, in the rough as it
now stands, is to put up a two story
building, about 45x1OO feet in dimen-
siOns, with an auditorium and offices
on the ground floor and a large lodge
room and offices on the second floor.
in their plans for this structure the
council has constantly in sight the
matter of constructing it in such man
per as to have the kind of building
most desirable and at the same time
one which will bring in the most rev.
enue.
It, is proposed to put up a building
which will cost about $500; the lots on
which it will stand will cost in round
numbers 81, 900 and the furnishings a
similar sun This will make the total
cost of the building about SO, 500, and
IT is proposed to float bonds to this
amount. n conservative estimate of
the prospective revenues, from Office
rentals and rentals from the lodge and
auditorium rooms shows the PROPOSE
ton to be a good one financially. 1t is
estimated hal the hall will be a sutfi-
Gent source of revenue to pay interest
on the bonded Indebtedness and add a
little each year to the sinking fund.
If this estimate be correct, the peo-
pie will not be called upon II pay one
cent more taxes than thew are now
doing. But on the other hand. for the
sal OF argument We will grant that
the building will pay but 80 per cent. of
the interest III the bonds, which at six
per cent. would be 500 per ear. Half
that amount would be $3.50. leaving that
comparatively insignificant amount to
be raised annually. The increased tax
would be almost imperceptible and to
compensate us for this paltry amount
we would have a public building which
would be a source of pride-a lasting
monument to the enterprise and public
spirit of Virginians.
The great big majority of the people
OF Virginia are in favor of this PROPOSE
ton, and it is safe to predict that when
the sun sets on the eventful first of
June, the electors will have endorsed
the p~ublic-spirited movement over
whelmingly.

SF4UF ELDT ON GOLD.

We desire to say that we do not en-
dorse nor believe in the beautiful vel
low theories on sound money, as present
ed below by our friend. Judge Shu-
feldt. We publish his letter in the
spirit OF fair play only. Last week we
t~houghtlessly printed an innocent lit
tie pleasantly aimed at the Judges f.
nancial theories, believing, as a gold
bug, he could stand it. Our pleasantly
was of the tire-cracker order, and he
retaliates with the following broadside:
Why 1 am for Gold.
Editor of the MADISONIAN:-Allow
me to thank you for the good wishes
and kindly words printed in last weeks
paper. take them as genuine express
sions Of your friendship and good will,
and believe that you lea all that you
say. You will permit me however. to
correct what is seemingly a false esti-
mate of my position on the money
question. and give me the benefit of
sufficient space to state what that po-
sition really is. do not believe that
the discovery of a silver mine of any
proportions would in the least degree
change Or tluence my opinion on this
matter.
Opinions founded on personal consid-
erations and personal interests, are of
little weight OF value, and if the dis
covery and ownership of a silver mine
conld induce me to change my convict
ions, l should be no better, and en-
titled to no more consideration than
the common boodlers who infest our
political system. Why should l, as
the owner of a silver mine. be entitled
to or obtain more consideration from
the government to enhance the value
OF my product, than my neighbor who
owns a copper mine, and has to sell his
product for what it will fetch in the
open market? that is the question. If
a law is to be passed by which fifty
cents in silver is to be declared worth
a dollar, why not also put copper in the
same list and double its value? and
for the matter of that. why not apply
this rule to other products of the earth
and soil \ man who raises wheat is
just as much entitled to protection and
Legislative help as the miner. If wheat
is worth only a dollar a hundred in the
market let the government declare it
all worth two dollars. that's fair: treat

NYE'S HISTORY OF ENGLAND.

Unlike most prolific writer's who have
been cut off in their prime, the late
Edgar Wilson Nye did not leave many
unpublished manuscripts. He left but
one, a Comic Histosy of England,
which will be printed in the MAD
1SON1AN in IS installments, the first
of which appears this week. This is a
work on which he had long been engag-
ed and which absorbed his best efforts.
It is unquestionably the funniest as
we'll as the most %pretentious thing Bill
Nye ever wrote. This quaint chron-
icle of the ancient Britons is a fitting f.
male to the life work of the foremost Am
erican humorist. The illustrations are
especially attractive and greatly en-
nance the hilarity OF the history.
There are G3 of them, 80 single column
and ten double column.

Here is another little matter in which
we believe Madison county has set the
pace for the state convention. Mr.
Benefits resolution, which was adopt.
ed by unanimous vote, reads as follows
Resolved, That we, the Republicans
of Madison county, in convention as
sembled. believe hat wisdom dictates
the nomination of the three president
ial electors from Montana, by the con-
vention called to meet in Butte City,
May 18th next, with the full and ex-
press understanding that such electors
shall be bound in their action, by the
platform to be adopted at said state
convention, and
Resolved. That, the delegates from
Madison county to said State conven
ton are hereby instructed to endeavOr
by their votes and influence. to cause
such nomination of electors to be made
at said convention.
Nominations for presidential electors
are always made at the fall convention.
However. should the Butte convention
adopt a resolution similar to the indie
pendent silver resolution adopted by
the Madison county anu
should it further decide that the cleo
tors from Montana shovld 60 to the
electoral college, bound by the platform
of Montana rather than One which may
be adopted at St. Louis, it will be nee
essary to name the electors at the first
convention, and bv such action saw
ourselves of a possible accusation of
bad faith.
We may live 60 miles from a rail
road, and the world may do things at
which we may wonder; we may be
classed as "moss-backs" by our up-to-
date neighbors, but when it comes to
doing the right thing at the right
time, depend upon the men of Madison
