bate IN Athletic Hail tonight between
Judge Swinnerton for the Republicans and
Thomas V. Gator for the Populists and
Democrats brought out large and en-
thusiastic crowd for both parties. Athletic
Hall was inadequate to hold all. and many
voters were unable To gain admittance.
The stage was occupied by large num-
ber of ce-presidents drawn from all the
parties, and the hall was profusely dec
grated. Professor w. II. Williams pre-
sided over the meeting for the Repubii-
cans. He introduced Judge Swinnerton,
who made the opening argument and said
that the debate was as to whether the
country would regain prosperity throus n
Republican protection or Democratic and
Populistic free silver.
Judge Swinnerton, in his opening ad-
dress, dwelt upon the rapid fall from
prosperity to poverty under the Cleye-
land administration, and called upon his
opponent to show how the financial legis-
latlon of the past had any influence to-
ward bringing about the conditions that
now confronted the country. He described
the aggressive shipping policy that Eng
land followed, and the power that she ac-
quired in that manner. He claimed that
England, which had always gone forth as
a warrior. came to America in the habili-
ments of lover, had wooed and won the
scarlet woman of American politics, and
Wilson was the priest WHO tied the
nuptiaI knot that caused such rejoicing in
England. He closed with an appeal to
voters to vote as Americans and not as
politicians.
Gator had an hour in which to reply.
He cited Republican aut critics to the
effect that the contraction of the currency
was the original and primary cause of the
tackled the tariff theory, claiming that free
silver was the best protective tariff pos
sible.

hour in which to close the debate in be.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Oct. PA
mysterious incident has been perplexing
Santa Barbara people for the past two
days Yesterday morning horse attached
to light cart and without driver, was
seen running through the lower part OF
the town. The horse darted up a side
street and was afterward found under the
Garrillo street bridge, with It's legs broken
so that the animal had to be shot. The
most diligent inquiry has SO far failed to
disclose the identity or whereabouts of
the owner or driver, and conviction is
growing that he may have suffered serious
injury and be lying helpless somewhere
by the roadside.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 24.-The
Brooklyn Eagle this evening says that
Corbett and Fitzsimmons may fight at
Coney Island on the afternoon of New
Years day. Corbett says he is willing,
but Fitzsimmons objects on the ground
that such contest could not be pulled off
in the vicinity OF New York and Brook

A direct offer has been made to both of
the big fellows. The offer is $4,000. which
is alb owe any sumthat has yet been sug-
gested for a meeting between the pugilists.
Accompanyin this proposition is guar
antee of $4,000 that the contest can take
place on Coney Island.
As soon as the Horton law governing
prize-fighting was passed number OF
well-known BROOKLYN men organized the
Greater New York Athletic Club and
leased the ola Seaside Athletic Club build

building that Manager Lewis of the club,

LOS ANGELES, CAL. Oct. M.-The agi-
tation at equal suffrage headquarters In
this city over the apparent discrepancy
between Governor Budd's election procla-
nation and the sample ballot supplied to
the committee by the clerk of this county
has been completely allayed. In the
opinion of leading lawyers here there is
much that was superfluous and irrelevant
in the Governors proclamation; that the
phrase, amendment number six, relat-
ing to the suffrage amendm Mt, is useless
and arbitrary. The amendment is prop
erly designated on the ballot as Assem-
bly, cons itutional amendment mum Der
eleven" and the form of expressing the
voters will in relation to it's adoption or
rejection by the use of the words ''yes" or
mo" is proper and legal.

The voters along this portion of the

one of the most inspiring and convincing g
political speeches ever heard in Amador

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. "a The
Re epublican meeting at Hazards Pavilion
this evening was presided over by J. s..
Slauson, late candidate for the nomination
of his party for Mayor of the city. The
great pavilion was we'll filed with the
sturdy yeomanry of the city and vicinity.
The principal address of the evening was
delivered by General N. P. Chapman.
In opening General Chipman said it is
about decided that William Mckinley
would be the next President of the United
States. He felt called upon, therefore, to
refer at the outset to a State matter, viz,
whether the citizens present would vote
for legislative candidates who would sup
port Republican or for that renegade
Thomas V. Gator.
Referring to National issues, the speaker
said that the tariff question was pretty
well settled on Republican lines and he
would, therefore, devote his time to the
money question. The Democratic party
asserted that our minis should be opened
TO the unlimited coinage of silver on an
arbitrary ratio, regardless of the relative
commercial values of the precial metals.
The com mercial ratio, as was well known,
was now 80 to l, whereas it was proposed
by the Bryanites to force legal ratio

to be encouraged? he asked.s
Respecting the so-called "crime of
1873" the generalinGuired who demanded
a modification or repeal OF the act of 1873.
Did the people in general make any such
demand? Not at all. The silver mine
owners were the only persons who peti-
toned Congress to modify the act of 1873.
In respons to this demand of the mine
owners, the Bland Allison law was enacted
and the mine-owners and they only were
benefited.
Mr.. Gator was arraigned for some of his
absurd and silly claims regarding the per
capita circulation, and the doctrine that

culation went hand in hand.
