Mr.. Bryan unanswerably explained
yesterday that the Democrats who now
left the party for gold left in pursuit of
that for which the party had never
stood, and were, therefore, not good
Democrats; while Republicans who
came to us, were coming because the
Republican party had always advocated
bi-metallism, and they were, therefore,
consistent Republicans when they quit
the Hanna annex for the sake of silver.

We cannot too urgently call the at
tention of Democrats to the necessity
of promptly registering. There are
only two more registration days, and
every Democrat in every county should
consider himself a committee of one
to see that his neighbor registers. In
the failure to do this lies a danger
that can easily be averted, and danger
of which the Republicans and Populists
are not taking any risks.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

''If there ever was q time when
North Carolina was in danger, that
time is past, for it is absolutely certain
to give Bryan eleven electoral votes"
said Congressman +. A. Woodland, of
that State at the Metropolitan. As
the campaign progresses the POPULARITY
of the Democratic candidate increases,
and he will be an easy winner. The
plan of fusion of the electoral ticket
gives the Democrats five electors, the
Populists five and one to the Silver
party, combination that reduces Gov
ernor McKinley's chances of carrying
the State to zero. The outlook for the
election of the Democratic State ticket
is also very satisfactory. The DEM
ocrats will also get back several Con-
gressional districts now represented
by the opposition. Washington Post.
News comes from the Democratic
National committee that sin many
counties in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Iowa, Wis., msin, and Min
nesota, there is a wholesale stampede
of Republican farmers to the support
of Bryan" and that reports show that
the German Americans are coming over
10 the Bryan standard by the thou
sands, a state of affairs which is large
~ due to the Bismarck letter, million
of copies of which have been sent out
all over the country. The Democratic
managers claim Indiana by $4,000, and
also claim a gain of nine congressman
in that State"

WAS LOOKING FOR OTIS.
But Mistook Banker Breed for Him, and
Piled a Horsewhip

Yesterday morning. about 10 o'clock
a lively scene was witnessed on First
street, just west of Spring, when L. n.
Breed, president Of the Merchants Ma
tional bank. was attacked and horse
whipped by Gustave de Laveaux, a
harebrained Frenchman. AS Mr.. Breed
was passing along the street he was
suddenly and without provocation at
tackled by De LaveauX, who struck him
several times across the face with a
rawhide riding whip, which he carried.
Mr. Breed was entirely unprepared Tor
the attack and retreated into a store
near by. officer ]. A. Miller. stationed
at the crossing of First and Spring
streets, came up at this juncture ana
arrested the whip-wielder.
He was taken to the police station
and booked on a charge of battery. MI.
Breed had followed and while the fellow
was being searched, said to him: IT
guess you must have been mistaken in
your man. You took me for Col. Otis
of the Times, didn't you?" This was ac-
knowledged by De Laveaux, who was
aghast at the mistake he had made Get
ting down on his knees, he abjectly
begged Mr.. Breeds pardon for having
attacked him, saying he thought he WAS
the editor of the Times, who was the man
he meant to horsewhip, on account of
certain articles which had appeared in
that paper, characterizing him as an an
archist, etc.
Mr.. Bree Is face was laid open by the
blows of the rawhide. and he could not
see the fun in having taken another
mans licking. A complaint was sworn
to in the police court, alleging battery,
and De Laveaux was arraigned in the
afternoon. He pleaded not guilty to the
charge, and trial was set for today at 2
p. m. De Laveaux is queer character,
who has for some time past made him
self nuisance around the various news
PAPER offices by his cranky ideas and
projects. He has on more than one o.
casion threatened various members Of
the profession, but until the occurrence
of yesterday was thought to be harm

CHARGED WITH HORSE STEALING
Young Licketti Landed in Jail for Grand
Larceny

Fillio Licketti, charged with grand lar
ceny. or in plain words, with horse steal
ing, was an arrival at the city jail yes
terday, being booked by detectives
Hawley and Auble early in the after
noon, Licketti is young man of sport
i've tastes and seems to have an especial
preference for hiring livery stable rigs
and either failing to return them on
time or making way with them alto
gether.
The attention of the officers was first
directed to Licketti on Saturday last,
when the proprietor of the Colorado sta
bles on New High street called to Sc
cure assistance in getting back a horse
and buggy he had rented to Licketti on
Friday. Before anything had been done,
however, Licketti had returned the rig
by colored boy and hence a crimin d
charge against him would not hold.
No sooner had he returned one team
than he secured another, for on Monday
forenoon A. J. Bennett of the Westmin-
ster stables reported that late Saturday
afternoon he had let Licketti have a
horse and buggy for few hours on his
representations that he was going to at
tend wedding. He had failed to come
back as agreed The detectives quickly
found out that he had disposed of the
rig at San Gabriel. where he got $25 on
1t, and then they went after him.
1t is claimed by the officers that Lick
etti some time since rented wagon
from r. Maloney, an Also street wagon
maker. which they have found in a
Main street corral, where it had been
left by Licketti as security for loan of
$3.50 Other escapades Of like character
are laid at his door, but none so serious
as the theft of Benefits outfit, for which
he will now be compelled to answer on
penitentiary charge.

A BROKEN CONTRACT
A Lady Repines at Having Lost Chance
to Clear $4,000.

Mrs. Abby Sanford is out just $4,000 in
the shape of profits, and this reasonably
large sum she is now seeking to recover
from s. d. Hovey of San Francisco.
1t appears that on March 20th of the
current year Mrs. Sanford entered into
a contract with Hovey to exchange
properties. He was to deed to her a
3S-acre vineyard known as the Hunt
ington tract. Santa Anita rancho. and
bear all expense of cultivation up to the
date of the transfer. the vines and crop
to be delivered over free of all incum-
brance. Mrs. Sanford. on her part, un-
dertook to hand over lot in Whistler's
addition, known as 526 San Julian street,
and assign the existing insurance. Ho-
vey also undertook to pay a mortgage
of $2500 on the property.
Mrs. Sanford went to the expense of
having a certificate of title drawn by
an abstract company and executed a
deed of conveyance Of her property on
May 11th. Then, at the last moment,
Hovey backed down and refused to car
ry out his part of the contract. This
being so, Mrs. Sanford has instituted
suit, alleging that had the contract been
carried out she would have cleared
$4,000 by reason of the rise in value.

It had no right to use the union label or
trademark, which had been recorded
ard il the exclusive property Of the
union.
Yesterday the case came up before
Judge Van Dyke, who sustained the de-
murrer and gave the plaintiff ten days
to amend the complaint. In as much as
the court intimated that he thought 1t
would be impossible to so amend as to
make good cause, the points raised on
demurrer are important.
1t was contended that the Typograph-
ical Union had not legal capacity to sue,
in as much as the complaint itself showed
that the union had not complied with the
provisions of section 5000 of the Political
Code; that Furthermore, while it was as
serted that the trademark had been re-
corded with the secretary of state, to-
gether with the affidavit of the presi-
dent of the union, copy of which was
said to be attached to and made part of
the complaint, as matter Of fact no
such affidavit was annexed to the COM
plant, but one purporting to have been
made by the secretary of the union.

Judge Van Dyke

On motion of plaintiff in the suit of
Adeline Johnson ct al VS., Mrs. A

ferred all his title and interest back to
the plaintiffs for consideration, leaving
as tenant the defendant. There are now
several months rent due, and the de-
fendant refuses either to pay or to sur
render the premises.
The plaintiff comes into court asking
that judgment may be rendered for
restitution Of the premises and that the

Court Notes.

The court house began again to wear
its wonted appearance yesterday. Con-
gratulations appeared to be in order
and the cheerfulness-born not of hope
but assurance-wreathed in smiles the
faces of most OF the officials.
The smoke of battle had scarce clear
ed away and so the amount of business
done was not large, albeit important
enough. Incidents of the fray on Tues
day formed the chief topics of conversa-
tion and the fears that were kept well
hidden previous to the election were
freely confessed yesterday.
