ory have filed in the Superior Court an
answer to the contest of Adelaide Lee
against their being granted final dis
charge from their debts and liabilities
The answer denies that Eugene J.

leges that Gregory Bros. Company did
receive $4,000 as a loan in a regular
business way. 1t is further alleged that
nc false representations were made to
Mrs Lee is to the condition of the COM
pany or any representations at all, but
that the company was solvent when ii

cuently reverses came, and the money
and other assets of the company were

c. T. Jones said he had received
letter from the Chairman of the State
Central Committee recommending that
on the night after the national nom-
nations are made ratification meetings
be held throughout the State. 1t is
practically known now who they will
be. 1t is settled that William McKin-
ley will be the candidate for President.
and undoubtedly Governor Morton OF
New York will be the candidate for
Vice-President. 1t is the universal sem
timent of the people of the party that
Mckinley shall be the candidate, and
1T is fitting that his nomination should
be properly ratified.
After some further remarks Mr.. Jones
moved that a committee of five be ap-
pointed to confer with the County Cen
trail Committee and other Republican
organizations and make arrangements
for properly ratifying the nominations
of the ST. Louis Convention.
George Eagan of the County Com
mittee said he believed it to be the
sentiment of that committee that the
nominations should be ratified on the
night after they are made at ST. Louis.
The Chair named as the Committee
on Ratification c. T. Jones, j. F. Slater,
E. c. Hart, c.. H. Holmes and J. j.
Cahill.
Chairman Coleman advised that the
club elect new officers, but Frank Mill
Ter thought it should be deferred until
next week, so that the Secretary might
notify all the members by postal card
Mr. Jones thought the election should
be held very soon after the ratification
meeting. The ratification meeting
would enthuse Republicans and stir
them up. He moved to make the cleo
ton meeting on Thursday evening, the
25th
1t was so ordered.
1t was announced that the members
of the Twentieth District will meet in
the Courthouse this evening
Several Of those present signed the
roll.
The members of the Ratification
Committee will meet this evening at the
office of G. 7. Jones.
There being no further business the

Tehama Secretary. A committee was
appointed to invite all members of del
egations from northern counties to meet

Capital Hotel last night There was a
large attendance and a free conference
was held.
The object of the orga niZation is to Sc
cure concert of action in the future by
the representatives of the various
northern counties in political matters.
1t is in no sense a caucus, and It was re-
solved not to indorse any person for
any office at the present convention
but the Democrats have seen the result
of such organization by the Republicans
of Southern California, and propose to
adopt their methods to a certain extent.

GOLD STANDARD.
Its Advocates Hold a neeting and
Adopt Resolutions.

The advocates of gold standard held
a meeting in room G6 of the Golden
Eagle Hotel last night and formulated
set of resolutions in favor of it.
E. B. Pond was elected Chairman and
c. w. Reed Secretary. There are thirty
to forty gold advocates in the conven-
ton, and they wish for recognition. The
meeting adopted the Minnesota plat
form, and will give tthe resolutions
t. the Committee on Platform and Res
olutions this morning, with the request
that it be presented as minority re-
port. If the committee refuse to so
present it, it is the intention of the gold
men to introduce it as an amendment
and fight it out on the floor of the con-
vention. They realize that they are in
a hopeless minority, but they are de-
termined to do what they can in be-
half of their convictions.
