Total

The ropocrats base their hopes of sal- vation on breaking into this array of great, wealthy, republican states. If they get all the rest of the south and west clear to the Pacific and win in ln- diana, Michigan or Illinois they would have a majority of the electoral college. But the far west and south, with Iowa, Wisconsin or Minnesota, would not give them the majority. They would need two of these Iast-named states.
 In order to give the popocrats grounds for hoping to win with the help of some of the states of the central west they must make sure of carrying all of the fnlinNyinn states.

TROUT IN THE YOSEMITE.
The Fish Commissioners to Plant
Thousands in It's Lakes
and Streams.
A Company of United States Troops
Will Lend Their Aid in the
Distribution.

The State Fish Commission has sent A.
g. Fletcher to the Y osemite Valley to dis
tribute among the many streams and
lakes of that region 100000 trout. Mr..
Fletcher left last evening. He will pro-
ceed directly to the Wawona hatchery,
which is located or the south fork of the
Merced River, about twenty five miles
from the valley.
This hatchery was built last year and
this is the second season of its operation.
In distributing these fish the commission
the park, under Colonel Young, who very
kindly volunteered to furnish packtrains
and troops to handle the fish.
The waters of the Yosemite Park are
very extensive, comprising the different
forks OF the Merced and Tuolumne rivers,
as well as countless lakes of good dimen-
sions, most of which are entirely devoid
of fish. These waters, however, are well
provided with natural fish food and un-
questionably will sustain great quantities
OF fish, which will be available for food
for campers and tourists.
The Wawona hatchery was built by the
Washburn Brothers, who own the stage
line in the valley. The trout to be placed
in those waters are the Rainbow" trout
from Siskiyou County, and the 'Mykiss, )"
or "Cutthroats" from Lake Tahoe.
Mr.. Fletcher will be gone about month
on this trip and will visit the most remote
parts of the region. The distribution
will, however take much longer time.
This work will be the most important, so
lar as trout are concerned, of the Fish
Commission this year.

way to loyalty to principle. In criticizing
Cleveland's bond-issuing penchant he
charged Senator John Sherman with be-
ing the Democratic Presidents man Fri
day and his secret and most trusted ad-
wiser.
There was duet by H. Dinslaye and
Henry Penning, followed by an address by
Joseph Asbury Johnson on "Populist
Chances of Success" He charged the
Democrats with having waited until the
Republican party had declared itself for
gold and then taking up the cry of free
coinage for silver. He predicted that the
Popullsts and the men who were for silver
from principle and not from policy would
not be befuddled by the scheme of the
democracy, but that all in favor OF free
silver would unite on common principle
and union candidate-some man who
would favor not only free silver coinage,
but the abolition of all National banks
and the issuing of all money directly by
the Government.
In conclusion he saio: "You will have
seen the last of the Democratic party
when this campaign is over. 1t will never
run another Presidential candidate"
Ihls met with hearty and long applause.

There was report in Oakland yesterday
afternoon that Sharkey had hurt his ankle.

Sharkev was seen at the Acme Athletic
