scWaIl VIII Lose California.

The Populists and Democrats
have fused in California, as they
have done in many other States in
the West. In California the Pop
ulists get four, and the Democrats
five electors, under the fusion ar
rangements. In California, as in
every other state, the majority of
the Populists are middle of the
readers, and they declare they will
not vote five times for Sewall
while voting four times for Wat
son.
AS California is one OF those
close States which cannot be car
ricd for Bryan unless he gets the
entire vote of the Democrats and
Populists, it is plain that unless
Sewall gets out of the way and
ceases to be an estranging factor
Mckinley will carry California.
If a full Populist electoral ticket
is not Put out, it is certain that
the majority of Populists in Cali
fornia will vote only for the four
Populist electors.
The following resolutions were
passed at the Fresno conventions:
Whereas, The national conven-
ton of the Peoples Party held at
St. Louis on July %, 1896, nomi
mated the Hon. Thomas Z. Watson
for the Office of Vice President of
the United States, and subsequent
ly nominated the Hon. William j..
Bryan for the office of President,
and
Whereas, che State executive
committee of the Peoples party of
California has entered into an
agreement with the executive COM
mittec of the Democratic party of
this State by which the voters of
the Peoples party are compelled
to cast five votes for the nominee
of the Democratic party for Vice
President, in order to vote for the
Populist nominee for President,
and
Whereas, The Hon. John S.
Dorc, member from this county of
the State central committee, and
member of the conference com
mittce which arranged and report
cd said plan and agreement by a
a majority report of said commit
tee, presented to said executive
committee minority report in op-
position to SAID majority report;
be it therefore
Resolved, That the county cen
trail committee of the Peoples par
ty heartily indorse the action of
Mr.. Dorc, and fully approves the
minority report made 10y him; be
it further
Resolved, Tint weannOuncc and
our loyalty to the nomi-
nee of the St. Louis convention,
and demand that We be given an
opportunity to cast our fall vote
for these nominees and none other.

Another Chance"

more ANONYMOUSLY than any 9TH
er party. Yet the cry of the dem
ocrats is ''give us Il chance" We
all remember how the people of
the South looked to the democratic
party for relief and we remember
the abundant promises which the
democrats made in each campaign.
But after the campaign was over
none of those promises were kept
and the excuse was, for twenty
years, that the democrats did not
have all the branches of the govern
ment. When the democrats cap
tured the House of Representa-
tives in 1874 they said ''we can do
nothing because we have not got
the presidency" When they cap
tured the presidency in 1854, they
said tive can do nothing because
we have not got the senate, -"
They kept on saying to the people
who were crying for relief, ''wait
until we get all the departments of
the government and we will do
wonders" And the people be-
lieved them and were strangely
loyal to the democratic party un-
til hope deferred made the heart
sick.
But, at last, the long delayed OPP
portunity came. In 1898 the DEM
ocratic party became supreme in
all three departments. A demo-
cratic president was installed in
the White House. A democratic
senate and democratic house as
sembled at the capital and the peO-
pie of the south, who had solidly
supported democracy for long
weary years, said ''now we shall
getrelief. Now our party will full
fill all its promises" Their faces
were bright and buoyant with hap
py expectation, for they had a
blind faith in the democratic par
ty,
What did it do9 Let all the
world bear witness. The demo-
cratic party hastened to use its gu
prcme power to completely de-
stroy silver in September 1898.
1t ran ITS dagger 10 the hilt in The
vitaIs Of the people and gave the
dagger a wrench. This was the
"wonder" it performed. o God
it slapped the sweet face of toll
and plucked the last hope from the
hearts of the people.
This was the work of a demo-
cratic administration, which has
kept up this precedent tor four
years. 1t violated every promise.
1t disappointed every hope. ltI
the name of free govern
ment and to-day it stands out as
the most discredited and the most
disreputable party IN American
history. Yet from the midst of
its own self -denunciation, it cries
out for ''another chance" Blind
leaders have led blind followers in
to the ditch where they lie and
in a mass of misery and
confusion. Yet from this writh-
ing mass of shame and wretched-
ness, these blind and faithless lead
srs still cry ''give us another
chance"
It's too disgraceful to discuss.
A "chance" to do what! To break
some more promisese To shatter
some more hopesa
People sometimes forget. But
surely tits too recent for people to
'orget the record Of the demo-
.ratic party in State and nation.
Surely our business men, of all oc-
are now ready to aban-
lon forever a party which has bur-
lened,- impoverished and oppress-
d the country. What man in his
enses wants four more years of |
democratic administration in this

spooner Sure to win.

Milwaukee, Nov. 13-There is no
longer any doubt of the election OF
Colonel John G. Spooner as United
States senator from Wisconsin to sue
ceed William F. Villas. Enough replies
to its letter of inquiry have been re-
ceived by the Sentinel from members
of the next legislature to insure his
election. 1t win need sixty votes to
nominate in the republican caucus, and
with barely two thirds of the members
heard from he has skye who are
pledged to his support. There is little
doubt that the same proportion will
hold good with the members not yet
heard from. In the face of Colonel
Spooner's overwhelming lead the eau
Gus will be mere formality. He will
probably be the only candidate pre-
sented, and his election will follow as a
matter of course.

rnriftv shonlifter at Wauke sha.

Waukesha, Wis, Nov. u -Waulle-
sha is having d sensation in the alleged
discovery of we'll do shOplifter
The woman in question is Mrs. Hub
bard Johness. The firm Of Brehm
Brothers suspected her of taking goods
from their store and swore out search
warrant. Armed with this the officers
went TO Mrs. Johness home today and
made discoveries which startled the
city. Goods to the amount Of $4,000
we're discovered stored away. There
was little of everything which would
go to start general country store
When the news spread merchants who
had lost anything for the past year
paid the house a visit, and in many
cases, it is said, were able to identity
goods as those they had lost. Mrs
Johness' husband was found dead in a
cistern three years ago. He left her a
good sum in life insurance. The fact
that she had money out at interest di
verified suspicion from her for long
time, though merchants were missing
goods right along. The woman said
after her arrest that all the goods found
in her house she had bought for the
children. Why they should want
twenty six suits of clothes, or several
dozen pairs of shoes, or half dozen
umbrellas she did not explain.

BY State Senator T. d. Weeks at

given expression by several we'll known
political leaders who were assembled at
Whitewater to ratify the great victory
achieved in Wisconsin under the lead
ership of State Chairman Coe. Mr..
Quarles was present as invited speaker.
Another gentleman said: :" think
Quarles is one Of the brainiest men we
have in the state and he would be a
worthy representative of Wisconsin in
the United States senate WalWorth
county would give him loyal support,
and | think the entire state would en-
dorse him gladly. He has done hard
and effective work during the cam
paign, and made fine impression
wherever he went. "

TIE CASE WAS NOLLED.
Miss Minnie Firchow is Released from the
Charge of Mailing an obscene Letter

Miss Minnie Fircnow is Released from the
Charge of Mailing an obscene Letter.
The Indictment against Minnie Fir
chow, of Kenosha, accusing her of
sending IN improper letter through the
mails, was nol!ed by the district attor
ney in the federal court at Milwaukee
by advice from the department at
Washington. The case has some pc
culiar features, the writing of the letter
is said to have been prompted by jeal-
ousy.
1t will be remembered that some
months ago Deputy United States
Marshal Buckley, of Milwaukee, quietly
slipped into town, and without saying
anything to the authorities went about
finding Miss Firchow. He found her at
work at the Chicago Rockford Hosiery
works. She was at once taken TO RI
cine and given 4 preliminary hearing
and bound over to the federal court 1T
Milwaukee for trial.
The letter in question was alleged TO
have been sent to the girls sster-in-

ATTEMPTED RAPE CHARGED.
A Prominent Real Estate Agent in Serious
Dificulty.

One Of the elderly real estate renting
agents here was placed under arrest
Thursday night charged with attempts
ed rape. This morning he was taken
before Justice Slater for a preliminary
hearing, but owing to the fact that
District Attorney Buckmaster was out
of the city, the case was laid over until
Thursday. Nov. 10.
The complaining witness i'll the ease
lis young married woman who has
been living here but about three
months, and whose husband is en-
ployed at the Hosiery works. She came
here from Michigan and took a house
on Elizabeth street. The agency for
the rental of this house is in the hands
of this man now under bonds.
It is alleged by the complaining wit
ness in the case that the agent called
at her house Thursday evening for the
purpose of collecting the rent due. In
stead of getting his money and leaving
in a gentlemanly way he noticed that
she was alone and asked her if she
would not go up stairs with him. This
she refused, when, she alleges, he made
advances to her and made further in
decent proposals. These she resented
and when he began to take hold of her
she screamed and made such a hubbub
that neighbors heard it andnotified the
police that something was wrong there
An officer got to the house before the
agent got away and he was at once
placed under arrest
Considerable effort has been made
today to keep the matter quiet. The
names of the parties are fully known at
this office, but for prudential reasons it
is deemed best not to divulge them at
present.

responded with feeble spirit. They

ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sl1illful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-infor1ned everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
usedand gives most general satisfaction.
