will suffice for the present. If you know any democrats who desire any more l will gladly furnish any quan- tity of them. To gentlemen who are shouting themselves hoarse over Bryan's loyalty to free silver, l com mend the following and would like to know how they relish it:
 CHICAGO, July l3.-A row has been kicked up among the PoPulists in Chicago by the publication in the New York World of July 10 of a letter purporting to give Candidate Bryan's views on the money Ques- ton. It is printed over MT. Brysn's signature. It was learned that the letter was made up from various messages NIT. Bryan has from time to time sent to the World when his opinion was asked on public ques- tions. This was, of course, before MT. Bryan was prominently talked of as a presidential candidate on a free silver ylatform.
 What excited the populists the most was two passages from the al legged letter. They are as follows:
 "I am not a believer In either free silver or gold. but am an out-and-out bimetallist. It is clearly apparent to me that financial stringency does not hinge on the amount of money in circulation, but rather on the in huences that control circulation. The very best times We ever had oc- cured at a time when there was a very low rate of money per capita in circulation"
 According to a Chicago morning paper Senator Stewart and Con gressman Newlands used very strong and picturesque language when they read the interview. Congressman Pence said on the subject:
 There is a strong faction in the peoples party which will oppose any indorsement of a democratic nominee. I had intended going to St. Louis to urge Bryan's nomina- tion, but if the letter to the New York World proves to be genuine, l will not put myself in position to be run over by the convention"
 The outcome of the matter will be that Mir. Bryan will be forced to do some lively explaining before the St. Louis convention will place on him the stamp of its approval.

ceptable substitute was provided, m order to render more probable the adoption of such substitute, and not because l approve all of the Sherman silver law. But from a party point of view, the wisest course IS unconditional repeal. The country expects it, and the party will be found fairly we'll united in favor of it. Therefore it IS unwiss, while agreeing upon the general proposition, tO waste sour time in agreeing upon substitute pending the repeal. Let the repeal be made at once, and let us differ as to other financial matters afterwards.
 "l am in favor of bimetallism as she issue of the future We should teeK to keep that issue to the front we should not str.ve for temporary success or compromise. We should be for free coInage under an inter national agreement, II 1t is poss ible to procure one, and for which every exertion should be made, and, fl not possible, then for independent bi- metalism. This is the general goal for which we should strive. It can not be done at once. Our friends must not be impatient The people must be educated. The unexpected of Indiana and the general senti- ment of the moneyed classes con spire against us at this time.
 Il do not bslieye in the Bland bill, or any other measure which guarantees anything less than an unrestricted coinage for gold and silver alike, as pledged in the demo cratic national platform. Let US prepare, not for present victory. but for victory upon that issue in 1896. The repeal of the Sherman law will not give the relief which is anticipated. It will aid business temporarily, but in year times will be hard, and she demand for permanent financial relief will be irresistible. We should continue to hold out for free coinage as the goal which the country must ulti- mately reach. The triumph of the monometallists will be but tempo rary."

TRUE TO ITS PLEDGES

While there are thousands upon
 thousands of republicans who be-
 lieve that this country is big enough
 and strong enough to adopt a 6nan-
 cial policy in regard to silver coin
 age without consulting with or ask
 ing tFo consent of any other nation,
 there are many thousands of others
 who believe that it would result in
 great financial distress. Men of
 profound sagacity and wisdom differ
 on the subject. While believing in
 free coinage, it cannot be denied
 that a majority of the opponents of
 1t are as equally conscientious in
 thelr views as those who advocate it.
 It is no doubt true that the powers
 of Wall street are governed by Sel- fish motives, but the belief in a sin gle standard exists among many who are not identified with the money powers of that financial cen ter and who are not dominated by them. The republican party has at least been honest in its utteTances on the question. It never has, in its entire history, incorporated doc trines in its platforms which it has failed to live up to. It has always been a party of principle and true to its pledges It pledges its best offices to secure an international agreement on the question of silver coinage and no matter how self reliant the American people may be in their own strength to secure and carry out this question independent of other nations, none can deny that with international agreement the cause can be greatly strength ened. Discussing this question in a conservative manner. the Phenix 1 Herald says:
 "The republican party, when it said at St. Louis that 1t would use | every effort to promote international l free silver coinage, meant just what | it said. That party has never yet | disregarded its platform promises | to the people, nor will 1t now. And | more than the declaration of that | great party at St. Louis has wakened | up England to the necessity of talk ing a hand in and assisting other commercial nations to re-eStablish i silver on an equality with gold. With such a great conservative and business like body of people as the republican party m the United States constitutes, asking for and pledging itself to promote the in ternational re-sstablishment of sil- yer on an equality with gold, and the business of the world demand ing that measure, those nations that have been moving reluctantly in the matter, are becoming aware that something must be done promptly. And so England, accord ing to our yesterdays dispatches, is getting into line, and before a year, should the republican party be sue cessful at the polls in November, we may reasonably anticipate that in- bimetallism will be on the way to speedy consummation. The republican party means what 1t says in this matter, as 1t has on all great issues with which 1t has had to deal"

PREsCoTT's NEW PRINCIPAL.
The Board of Trustees at a Meeting He'd Last Night Elected Prof. c. ID.
 Ostrom to the Position

Prof. G. D. Ostrom, of Riverside, California, arrived here on Sunday with letters of introduction to few citizens of Prescott and yesterday interviewed the board of school trustees with view of making ap- plication for the principalship of the Prescott public schools. As no one had been elected to the posi- ton, he presented his application and at meeting of the board last night was elected as principal. Prof. Ostrom has had fifteen years ex perionce in teaching and has the finest recommendations that one could possibly secure. He is q very pleasant and geniai gentleman and without doubt will give good satis- faction in the position. The board of trustees is to be congratulated in securing the services of so eminent an educator.
 State Superintendent A. K. Goudy of Nebraska, says of him: Mir Ostrom has given evidence in his work in Nebraska, of being a supe- rior man refined, scholarly, ener- getic and full of enthusiasm. I am aware 1 can make no mistake in recommending him and that he will be successful in any position he will attempt tofill."
 J. T. Hersey, chairman of the visiting committee of the board of education of Atchison, Kansas. says: MT. Ostrom was principal of our high school for several terms and We always liked him. His methods were good and sensible, he was in- dustriOus aud kept his school con stantly employed"
 E. F. Warren, formerly superin- tendent of the New Orleans schools says; Prof. Ostrom was employed as principal of our high school with eminent success"
 During the past few years Prof. Ostrom has been in California and the South Riverside Bee says of his work at that place: "Our public school Is second in importance only to the Riverside schools in this county. Under the efficient and firm direction of MT. Ostrom the standard of scholarship and deport- ment is improving steadily and it is apparently the ambition of the able gentleman who IS at the head of the institution to make his school a model. MT. Ostrom is one of the best instructors and disciplinarians in the state"
 Prof. Ostrom in addition to being an educator took course in medi. cine and IS also a lecturer of con siderable note, both on physiology and other subjects. The Santa Barbara Press speaking of a lecture delivered by him on physiology says that the pleasing manner of the speaker, as we'll as the important topic he discussed, gained him the interested attention of all present."

REPUBLICAN DOCTRINE.

The Albuquerque Citizen sizes up the political situation as follows;
 Republicans cannot keep too prominently in their minds that the declaration of the republican party on the gold standard simply means that it will maintain what already exists until it is able to offer to the country something better, and it IS pledged to use its utmost endeavors to that end. The free silver people, on the contrary. are determined O take the country back to q system which was declared inadequate thir- ty-seyen years ago, and dropped. They would not only revive this, but they would have this govern ment try the experiment of an un- limited coinage of a depreciated money metal and of maintaining its integrity against the opposition of ali the great commercial countries of the world. The money plank of the St. Louis platform, on the con trary, is based upon the proposition that such a move would be foolish and disastrous. Elimination of sil- yer from the currency is not in- tended. The only proposal made is to so limit its coinage that it can circulate freely at par with gold, which is the universal money of the world. until an agreement can be reached with othsr commercial na- tions for unlimited coinage by all at a universal ratio.

The following letter, written by United States Senator Hill to Evan Howell, of Atlanta, Ga, on July l3, 1893, on the issue for the campaign of 1896, is being actively circulated among democratic papers at pres ent:
 As to the repeal of the Sherman law, I have always been opposed to it. It should be abandoned by gen sral consent. My views were partly expressed in my recent Tammany letter, which you have undoubtedly seen. Personally I should prefer not to repeal the law until an ac-

Preparing for q Joint Ratification-A Pissta
Defcit

Preparing for q Joint Ratificatlon-A Pissta
Deficit
SAN BERNARDINO, July 25.-The
Democrats of this city are preparing for
a monster demonstration in honor of the
nomination of Bryan and Sewall. It had
been intended to hold the ratification
tonight but upon consideration 1t was
decided to postpone it until early in the
week so that the Populists might assist.
A preliminary meeting was held in Judge
KnoX's office last night and this decision
was made. Z. Z. Katz presided at the
meeting which was attended by large
number of representative Democrats.
When the meeting adjourned it was un-
til Monday evening.
THEY MUST PUT UP.
The memory of the grand festival held
in this city last September is like some
other ghosts-it will not down. For
nearly year the people who furnished
supplies for that celebration, to the ex-
tent of $500, have been waiting for their
money and now their patience is about
to be rewarded, thanks to a decision
rendered by Justice Soule. At the time
the festividad was projected a guaran-
tee fund of $2060 was made up and after
trying various peaceable menas to in
duce the guarantors to make up the de-
fcit, the creditors went to court. The
guarantee was made UP in pledges of
800 each with one for $50, and the de-
cision of the court assessed the former
sS5 each and the latter SOL. The credi-
tors will be paid and there will be no
grand festividad in San Bernardino this
year.
NOTES OF THE DAY.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank c. Bolt of Pasade-
ma were in this city last evening and
proceeded to Squirrel Inn this morning.
They will spend week at that resort.
Attorney Wm Gird is again very Ill at
his residence in this city. He was Just
recovering from an attack of pneumonia
and had been on the street but few

The case of Mrs. Kate Dobbs for an
alleged attempt upon the life of her
husband, w. H. Dobbs, was dismissed
today on the ground of insufficient evil
dence.
In the trial of Henry Rott on complaint
of Clarence H. Lee, lodged against de-
