GORMAN SURE OF MARYLAND.
He Thinks the Figures Of Registration
Significant of a Bryan Victory.

Hagerstown, Md. October 23.-
Senator Arthur p. German, who de-
livered an address last night IN
Hagerstown. was called on at the
Hotel Hamilton to day by hundreds
of people, anxious to meet the DIS
tingnshed Senator, who gave all
cordial greeting. Senator German
told the Post correspondent that he
was very much gratilied at the meet,
ing here last nis hit. 1t is said that
the meeting was one Of the largest
and most enthusiastic political meet
iugs held in Hagerstown for years.
Senator German said he felt very
confident that Bryan would carry
Maryland and be elected. Last year
the white voters, he said, i'll Mary
land gave a democratic majority OF
81, O00. Under the new registration
about $4,000 more white voters have
been added, and only about 500 more
colored voters.
When asked if he thought Bryan
would carry New York, he stated
many New Workers thought he would.
He thought Bryan had o good show,
though he confessed that he was not
we'll enough posted on the poiitics Vi
that State to give an intelligent opin-
ion. He thought the disturbance
caused by TEACHERS gold attitude
and withdrawal injured Bryan's
chances in New York. The nominee
in the first place should have been IN
sympathy with the Chicago platform.
He said. though the press OF the East
was almost solidly against Bryan, yet
he felt in the face Of it all and the
unbounded enthusiasm and patriot
ism displayed everywhere by the peo'
pie. that Bryan would be elected.
He pointed to the jackson cam,
paign, when the newspapers were all
against him, and said that the Jack
son campaign and the Bryan cam
paign were alike in many respects
Right in New York city where all the
daily papers but two or three are
against Bryan he said never before
we're there such great enthusiasm aud
such assemblings. The shouting OF
the Republicans, he said, were al
paid for at so much shout, by rail-
roads and moneyed corporations.

Democratic Poll Of Iowa,

Charles A. Walsh, secretary OF the
Democratic National Committee, in
sists that Bryan will carry Iowa.
I'VE have made careful poll OF
most of the State and have one fifth
OF the counties tabulated and com
pared with the vote OF 1892. The
returns come from ali parts of the
State and are representative OF the
general political sentiment. The
largest gains are in the agricultural
sections, and average thirty-four to a
precinct. If the gains hold out
throughout the State Bryan will
carry it by a majority Of $4,000. l
regard it as absolutely certain for
Bryan. Comparing our poll with the
result obtained from figuring on the
percentage OF republican changes IN
the Records postal card ballot there
is only difference of 1000 votes in
the two estimates. This proves the
accuracy of our poll.

West Virginia for Bryan.

ATTORNEY. General T. S. Riley, who
is q candidate for reelection on the
democratic ticket, has just returned
from a stumping tour through a
number of counties III the southern
part of the State. In answer TO ques-
lions concerning the political sltua-
ton in this State, General Riley
said:
II have been through many coun-
ries in the State, have talked with
prominent men of both parties, and
have been acquainted with much of
the information received by the State
committee. and it is my candid
opinion that the voters of West
Virginia will give Il good, safe ma
iority for the Bryan electors and the
State ticket. The State committee
is doing excellent work, and VIII
keep up the fight until the morning
of the day OF election: Chairman
Edmiston, Secretary Chiffon, and,
in fact, every member of the com
mittee is very confident OF success. l
find the same feeling among the
county committees, all of which are
working industriously. They are
without funds, but it is the people S
fight this year, and there is no lack
of volunteers.
~ am satisfied we will make large
Gains in all the agricultural districts,
and the vote in several counties will
be surprising TO the republicans. All
voters who have been democrats dur
ing the past eight years, including
the large numbers who deserted the
party on the tariff question two
wears ago, are with Us this year IN
the fight for free silver. l do not
anticipate republican gains over the
vote OF 1892 in more than four coun-
ties in the State, and that year West
Virginia was democratic by 10000.

Orr correspondent at Lake City,
Williamsburg county, reports that there
are now Is artes;an wells il the village
and adds, Before the wells were bored
the people suffered "a great deal with
fever and malaria, but now it is rare
thing, indeed, to hear OF case Of
either. This is very decided testimony
to the value OF pure water for the re-
demption Of "malarial districts, " and
Lake City's experience and example
should not be lost on other places where
the water is bad and health no better.

Vexagua and Cuba.

Among the people who find it difficult
to sympathize with the Cuban rebels is
the Duke of Veragua, that lineal de-
scendant of Columbus who visited this
country in Worlds fair days. He is en-
titled to draw from the Spanish govern
ment the perpetual pension of 81, 900 a
year, which was charged upon the Gu
ban revenue, and was granted to the ia
nous discoverer and his heirs forever.
If Cuba is lost to Spain, the duke Is
likely to lose his pension.

the daughter of Mrs. Laura A. Calhoun

ceased Montana millionaire.
Those who are opposed to the claims of
the alleged widow and her daughters deny
in toto the claims of Mrs. SMELL Davis
They allege that her husband was an
Abraham Davis and of a different family
altogether, and that he had no connection
whatever with Andrew ]. Davis, the de-
ceased millionaire. They further state
that they can prove the residence else

time 1t is claimed he went to Arkansas and
married Miss Queen.
1t is the brothers and sisters of the de-

to this State to investigate the claims of

There are two street railroads in the
Richmond district owned by the Market

ceased to be a source of revenue to the
City. One commences at Point Lobos
avenue and runs down First avenue four
blocks. The second begins at the junction
OF First and Point Lobos avenues, run

is known as the old half-mile track.
In addition to the abandoned roads

thence to the park. Actual service on this
line was only stopped when the Sutro
road began operations. though for eigh-

schedule consisted of two trains week

When the tugs went out Captain Has

back into port almost neck and neck.

heavily loaded vehicles find it difficult to
cross from one side of the street to the

The same conditions prevail on First

Richmond believe they have some rights

They claim that the several franchises
were granted under the express condi-
tions that regular service should be
maintained. The partly covered tracks
bear eloquent testimony to the fact that
it is not now, nor has it been done for
years. The Market-street Company has a

BEFORE THE GRAND JURY
The Board of Health Has Been
Called For to Hold a
Conference.
City and County Hospital Supplies
Will Be Investigated as Well
as Other Matters.

The recent visit of the Grand Jury to the
City and County Hospital and Almshouse
is apparently about to bear fruit in the
way OF conference between the jury and
the Board of Health.
Shortly after the visit mentioned the
Grand Jury sent communication to the
board, in which mismanagement in the
City and County Hospital was plainly
charged, and 1T was lntlmated that rigid
investigation of the institution would be
carried out. The secretary of the Grand
Jury notified the secretary of the board
that conference was desired immediately,
but as DR.. Morse was in San Luis Obispo
the matter was deferred until Friday next,
when all of the mem bers will be in the
City.
The matters that will be particularly in
qulred into are the quality of the supplies
furnished the institution by the contract
ors, to whom contracts are let by the
Board OF Supervisors, and the necessi.y of
the training school for nurses, which costs
the City several thousands per year. The
jury is under the impression that the sup.
plies, at least in some instances. are far
below the standard called for in the ad-
vertised bids, and desires to slft the re-
sponsibiiity and place it on the right
shoulders. The members believe that
superintendent Stable should have re-
jected many articles of food that they saw
at the hospital.
The training school will come in for
close scrutiny. because the iurymen believe
that the money spent on it could be better
employed in hiring help to keep the insti-
tuition in cleanly condition.
