THAT PENCIL WILL.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. sO.--Mrs. The
resa oeIrichs and Miss Virginia Fair
obtained permission today from Judge
Slack to withdraw their answer to the
opposition to Van R. Paterson and
Charles L. Fair to the probate of the
will Of the late Senator Fair. The with
drawal of the answers renders unnec-
essary the hearing Of DR.. Marc Living
stones motion to strike them out. and
there IS now no obstacle in the way
of the confess. There is scarcely any
doubt that the great battle over the
pencil will will be commenced on the
day set by Judge Slack. Both sides are
making preparations for the contest,

The Democratic members of con-
gress voted against a proposed
amendment to the constitution of
New Mexico, which compelled the
teaching of the English language in
the public schools. not because the
Democrats were opposed to public
schools or to the teaching of the
English language in such schools,
but because they did not deem it
necessarp or wise to require a
pledge from the people of New
Mexico, which had not been re-

The crowd was an orderly one, too.
OF course every sentiment was ap-
plauded, but there was nothing SAVIOR
ing Of hoodlumism in the meeting. Al
most every one there was voter. So
eager were the people to get to listen
to the speakers that ladies climbed the
stairs to the upper galleries and sat
where the gods" usually rest and eat
peanuts. Oh, it was a great event
The hand is to be congratulated. It
entered into the spirit of the occasion
and played nothing but tunes of a pat

the OLD standbyS was begun, people
came to the rescue and applauded to
the echo.

Judge King made a splendid effort
He demonstrated what has been con-
tended by this paper so many times
that he is so far superior to the man
he is running against in ability, that
a comparison dignifies the Republican
candidate.
Inc audience saw the point, too, and
the impression Judge King made will
be Of lasting good to him in this city.
His speech was vote setter
Judge Powers remarks were as good
as usual. his speech was a gem. He
oistanced himself. as ii were.
The decorations were simple hut inn
pressive and appropriate. over The stage
hung the Democratic emblem. the gold
and silver daisy ''l6 10 L. while around
3 the boxes were festooned flags With
the notices, silver and Gold !, a
picture OF the next president leaned up
against the speakers desk
The audience displayed its patriotism
at the s-art when the band played a
medley Of patriotic airs. The 1Star

Judge Powers and Hon. R. N. Baskin
came in as the band ceased and were
given an ovation of several minutes

ley, the American correspondent of the
Times, who is now in Canton. o., the
residence of Mr. Mckinley. discusses,
in dispatch to that paper. the rumor-
ed defections from the ranks of the
Republicans. He declares that the sit
uation is in doubt in western New
York, and described the Republicans as
having fit of political blues during
the last days of the campaign. Mr..
Smalley insists that conditions
similar to those prevailing in western
New York exist in the middle western
states. He adds that his fears are not
shared by the railway and business
men of the east and west. He further
says that Mr.. Chauncey Depew. with
whom he is travelling, is confident that
the Republican depression is only tram

Never before in the history Of this

that held in the theater last evening.

Mr.. Burton then introduced Hon. r.

ing.
HON R. N. BAsKIN.
Judge Baskin said that by request he
desired to make a few remarks. He
related an anecdote of man who
came into his Office and propounded
three conundruns The first was:
why is Mr.. Bryan like a dentist?"
and the answer Because he is good
drawer" The second was: why IS
Mr.. Bryan like buccaro?" the. reply
being, Because he is cinching the

MCKINLEY ike copper DeCduSe
he is dependent upon a barrel" Cap
plause.) Judge Baskin said that the
last one would form a topic for few
remarks. It is patent that the opposi-
ton are dependent upon the barrel to
a great extent. The big corporations
are contributing their support by their
money. and not alone with cash, but
they are coercing their employees into
voting for the gold standard. They
have threatened them with discharge
if they do not vote as they are told.
When we consider this action the pa
triotic man naturally stops to think.
] believe that naturally our people are
good-that our institutions are good
but when we consider that our elections
may be controlled by money, when we
find that men can be coerced, ask
you, what is left of our institutions
that we should revere?

now we find men who tell us that sill

at least. sand for this today.
Deprive the people of money and you
deprive them of the means of advance
ment; you deprive them of civilization
itself. History shows that in all ages
the times OF prosperity were when
money was plentiful and then the fin
anciers schesned to demonetize one or
the either of the metals so that they
could control the actions, lives and Ill.,
critics OF the people. The speaker re-
ferred to ancient Rome, which, in the
zenith of its power, had plenty OF me-
tallic. money in circulation and when
she decayed and fell the circulating
medium was at a low ebb
Depriving the people of their money
is the greatest injury that can be done
a people. War with it's blighting in
f1uence will pass and the fields and
orchards will again smile on the hus-
bandman and prosperity return; but
when you deprive people of their money
it brings a blight on the land which
never passes, it fills the hearts of the
people with bitterness and in their
despair they will rise and fling the
tyrant from his throne. Great ap-
plausel
They call us anarchists, but the gold
bugs are the real anarchists; they have
scuttled the tanks and are letting the
money run out, and when we ins.st on
seeing how big a hole is in the tanks
bottom they call US anarchists. But
we have got the tanks and will insist
on an examination, whether they like
it or not We want to stop the leak
and let the money rise in the tanks
and the prices of your products and
your labor will also rise.
Lincoln sent message to the miners
of the wese TO dig out the gold and
silver from the mountains and we shall
be the treasury-house of the world.
That was the imomrtal Lincoln's idea.
But the statemen Of today say. let the
silver stay in the mountains; we don't
want it. 1t is mere commodity; it has
no intrinsic value. You can't legislate
intrinsic value.
The fathers of the republic recognized
silver money as a money of ultimate
redemption and this country can main
tain the parity of the metals.
Mr.. King then showed the fallacy of
the argument that America would be
the dumping ground of the silver of
the world. This country produces 70
per cent of all the silver of the world
and If it all came here it would be only
sos per capita We find amongst our
Republican friends no word OF condem-
ration for the stupendous crime of 1879.
