Centcsts, however. are likely to be di-
mnished by the sweeping victory OF the
Republicans in the State of which no one
entertains the slightest doubt. Except
j. H. Hale, The Glastonbury peach-grower
who has been nn ''agrarian" Republic
can--not n Connecticut member of the
party of any prominence has gone over to
Bryan. and its leaders have adopted the
wise policy Of disconraging a "band
wagon" campaign, on the ground that 1t
will awaken Democratic party spirit and
waste party material hotter used in the
pivotal States of the central West.
Mr.. Fylcs, chairman of the Republican
State central committee, is quoted as say
Ing that the Republican majority in this
State over both orders of Democrats will
range between $4,000 and $1,000, and
there is nothing in the present outlook to
discredit his forecast With such a ma
iority will undoubtedly go a Legislature
as strongly Republican as the last, where
the Democrats had but one Senator and a
mere handful of members of the lower
house, The most cherries aspect of
such result is its indefinite postpone
ment of constitutional reform unless the
Republicans should adopt II from conf
dence in their own strength, and from
the belief that the long epoch of great
Democratic maiorities in the Connecticut
cities has ended.

THE SANTA CRUZ ENcAMPMEKT.
Delegates to the Christian Church conven-
ton Conclude Their Labors and
adjourn.

SANTA. CRUZ CALI, Aug. 1.-The busi-
ness sessions of the annual State meeting
of the Christian church of Northern Cali
fornia, which have been in progress for
two weeks in Garfield Park, closed to-day
at noon with the adjournment OF the
church convention. Tomorrow, the clos
ing day of the meeting, will be observed
by religious services.
This mornings session of the church
convention was opened. by Rev. james
Small of Oakland. The report of the
finance committee; recommending that
the Berkeley Seminary, be kept up to:
high standard as an educational institu-
ton, was presented. The committee
urged that the endowment fund be in
creased as soon as possibly to $100. 900, with
sthe view of ultimately bringing it up to
$3.50. 900.
A resolution was introduced asking the
convention to join with the Sabbath OBJ
serEance Association In a petition to. the
Legislature for a law demanded by that
association. This resolution created con-
sidera BILE discussion, as the Christian
church does not believe that there Is
Sabbath day, but that the Sabbath went
out by Limitation, and this church obs
serves the Lords day, or Sunday, under
Christ's dominion. 1t was agreed to Pc
tition the Legislature for Sunday as rest
day, not as a.reiigious right, but as mat
ter of protection against Sunday excur-
sions and the like. But the petition is to
be SO framed that employees shall not be
in danger Of losing their positions through
observance of the day.
This church believes that every one may
worship according. to his own will.
The committee on obituaries expressed
coincidence for the family of the late Rev.
James A. Logan, who died at MADEIRA
since the present meeting was begun, and
for the families of DR.. l. n. Hodgen of
Woodland and others. The convention
then adjourned for one. year.
This afternoon g. vacation was. taken.
The discourse tonight was delivered by
Rev Mr.. McCray of Ukiah.

County Committee Is Vaoant
STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. L. Mayor
Bages is no longer a member of the Re-
publican County Central Committee. No
sooner had the meeting of the committee
opened to-day than Committeeman Collins
introduced resolution calling for Bags
retirement from the committee and de-
claring that the Republican party did not
want any members who thought as he
did. The resolution read as follows:
Be it remembered that H. N. Baggs, mem
ber of this committee, was, at the last City
elec ton, elected on a so-called nOn-pGrtlsan
ticket to position of public tr nst; thai at the
said non par tisan convention II. Il. Baggs pub
licly declared in substance "that he had left
the Republican party and that it had no COL
lar on him." he being at that time member
of this committee. aud that he had, since the
adjournment of the last meeting of this COM
reported MS we'll in the daily press as having
renounced his faith and allegiance to the Re
publican party; therefore, be it
Resolved That this committee finds that FL.
N. Baggs is not the kind OF a Republican that
the rank and file of our party desires retained
on this committee. Therefore, it is ordered
by the Republican County Committee that the
seat of II. N. Baggs in the committee be de-
clared vacant, and that the said II. N. Baggs
be no longer recognized therein.

declared, and showed the sentiment Of the
commercial people. His was one of the
best speeches of the evening.
L., g. Brown spoke of the league and
made few comparisons between the can
didates. There could be, he declared, no
hesitancy in choosing between William
Mckinley, the champion of American
labor, and "Billy Boy O'Bryan.
S. FL. Haskell. an editor from Pomona,
declared the present campaign TO be one
of Individual effort.
Frank Gibson, the cashier of the First
National Bank. reviewed the financial
issue extensively. He presented a num-
ber of strong reasons for wanting the pres
ent gold standard. and in support of his
opposition to free coinage of silver pointed
to the miserable and impoverished condi-
ton of the people in the countries where
silver standard waSin force.
r. N. Bulla, Assem- blyman from this
district, followed, and declared that Bryan
had been elevated to his present position
simply on account of his having made an
eloquent speech. Mr.. Bulla predicted
that there was not a man in the Repub-
lican party who was now ready to vote for
Bryan but would cast his ballot for Nc
Kinley in November.
Judge B. N. Smith of the Superior
Court closed the speech making.
