STEPHEN BOWERS.
After considering carefully the Ques-

Kinley made the following full complete
and graphic reply to each and every
question asked him:
CANTON, Ohio, July /, 1896.
Mr.. Stephen Bowers, Los Angeles, Cal:
My Dear Sir: beg that you accept
my warmest thanks for your congratu-
latory letter of the Goth of June. Very
truly yours, w. M'KINLEY.
Mr.. Bowers, when he received this re-
spouse to his letter of inquiry was COM
pletely overcome 1T the freedom with
which Major, Mckinley expressed his
from his surprise, but he finally did SO
and yesterday gave both letters to the
public for the first time. Major McKin-
ley's startling position upon the temper
ance question, as fully set forth in his
reply to DR.. Bowers, will be news to
many Los Angeles people. 1t Is bold
declaration made with the full knowl-
edge and consent of Marcus Aurelius

LOOKING FOR STEWART.
San Francisco Detectives Are Keeping
an Eye Out for Him.

Captain Lees and his men are now on
the lookout for noted crook, who is
supposed to be one of the ringleaders in
the plot to loot the First National bank
OF Los Angeles, says the San Francisco
Chronicle of Thursday. The man want
ed is known as Stewart and was the
partner of Brown Ryerson, who was or
dered to leave Los Angeles a few days
before the discovery of the tunnel under
the bank or be imprisoned for vagrancy.
Stewart arrived here about six weeks
ago and rented room in a lodging
house on Howard street. Shortly after
the arrest Of Mccarthy Captain Lees
learned that Stewart was one of the
gang. He closely questioned Mccarthy
with the result that he made clean
breast of the affair.
In the confession which is now in the
hands Of Chief Glass of Los Angeles Nc
Carthy admitted that Stewart was the
arch conspirator in the job.
According to his story Stewart met
him in Los Angeles a short time before
the attempt to rob the First National
bank was made and invited him to join
the gang. They held several meetings
and finally resolved to loot the bank
Stewart is well known to the police of
this city. About three years ago he was
arrested on a warrant from Los Angeles
charging him with stealing $4,000 worth
of diamonds from a jewelry store He
escaped conviction, but subsequently
went to Chicago, where he was arrested
on similar charge. Stewart, it IL said,
is notorious thief with a long criminal
record

1T IS A BOLT.
The Nomination of Judge B. N. Smith
Denounced by Some Republicans.

The Times has virtually bolted the
nomination of Judge B. N. Smith, the
REGULAR Republican nominee for super
Tor judge at present presiding in depart
snent one. The paper gives as it's rea-
son tor such action that Judge Smith is
not made up of proper judicial timber.
IT says that there are a dozen lawyers
in the city who could have been selected
who would have made better judges.
This move of Otis may have the effect
of electing Judge Smith. 1t will not lose
him any votes and we are really better
prepared to have the antagonism of Otis
than we are fixed to defend him from
the curse of the Times support"
This what a warm friend of Judge
Smith said yesterday and it probably
represents the feelings of many of his
admirers and adherents. The judge re-
ceived big vote in the Republican con-
veption and If Otis had antagonized
him before it was convened it is'possible
that he might have headed the list of
candidates, as did Judge Mckinley some
years ago.

THE ORILLA BAND.
Reorganization of the Branch Of the
Daughters of the Rising Sun.

The Orilla Band, Daughters Of the
Rising Sun, have reorganized and meet
regularly on the 18th day of each month,
at the home of some one of the Sisters.
This society is a branch of the San
Francisco band, and, If continued with
the marked interest and enthusiasm Of
it's beginning, will be benefit not only
to the members, but to the cause Of
woman, where woman desires to be bena-
fitted mentally or spiritually.
The non-eXclusive nature of the order
entities it to profound respectable MEM
bers being united in the decision that hui
man nature is too universal to be circum-
scribed or hedged about by petty judg-
ments of an outside element, who, per-
adventure, might imagine they have g
corner on virtue.
The members are privileged to bring
or recommend any woman who con-
scientiously desires to advance in
thought, or who after taking the sa-
cred and secret vows of the order,
places herself in position to extend a
helping hand and loving heart to all hui
mainly. The main object that prompted
the first organizers was desire to estab-
lish an order that would become univer-
sal and encircle all classes and reach
out through educational means, to oil
women and children. The kindergarten
is heartily Endorsed
Mrs. Elizabeth Clarke who was in
strumental in forming the San Fran
cisco club. has been in the city for sew
eral months, and will probably aid the
band here until it is old enough to walk
alone.
The next meeting. on the It'll day of
October, will be held with Mrs. Alice
Broadwell, 1880 Essex avenue.

REPUBLICAN POLITICS
Mayor RAIDER Takes Stand in Favor of
Precinct Primaries

The executive committee of the Re-
publican county central committee will
meet this evening to prepare some sug-
gestons and recommendations to sub
nit to the full committee when it Is
called to meet to namc time for holding
the city primaries and convention.
1t is fully agreed and determined that
there shall be precinct primaries. To
this proposition there is absolutely no
opposition.
The friends of Mayor Frank RAIDER are
NOW and have been in favor of precinct
primaries. The mayor himself said yes
terday:
II favor precinct primaries now and
always have. The attempt of Otis to
make it appear that I was opposing
them is one of his usual efforts to injure
me by circulating falsehood. The Re-
publican party has declared for precinct
primaries in this city and that is
enough for me-"
"Are you a candidate for renomina-
tion?"
I'm the sense of actively seeking a
nomination 1 am not However, if my
fellow Republicans see fit to honor me
with a denomination / shall accept and
will endeavor to again lead the Repub-
lican banner In this city to victory.
have endeavored to give the city an
honest administration of municipal af-
fairs, but if my party decides that 1t
is better that some other leader shall be
selected to head the municipal ticket,
I have not one word of complaint to
make. I will support the nominee of
the convention.
IF am selected will esteem the high
compliment paid me. But will make
no move to influence the judgment and
decision of the convention"
The story has been stcrted that Sam
F. Vetter was a candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for mayor. Mr. Vetter
was seen yesterday and said:
II am decided candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for the city coun-
Gil in the Third ward. This is the fight
that / am making. In the matter of be-
ing candidate for the nomination forr
mayor, am in the hands Of my friends"
This is an extraordinary position for
a man to take-to be an aVowed candi-
date for one Office and an Gin the
hauds of your friends" candidate for an
other Office before the same convention.
The great question as to what the
test shall be at the Republican city pri-
maries continues to be the all absorbing
topic of discussion among the munich
pal politicians. The demand that every
body that participates in the city con-
NeHlloil SNAIL lile up Aoi AnSiS1 GIN.
the gold standard comes from some OF
the most prominent of the gold Republic
cans, including Colonel Otis. If this
test is applied it will ALLEVIATE the entire
silver Republican vote from the sup
port of the city ticket and insure its
defeat.
This question is a difficult one to set
tie. If the Silver Republicans partici-
pate in the primary they will be in the
convention in sufficient numbers to pre-
vent the adoption of any resolutions
mentioning the name of either Mckinley
or McLachlan. The leaders are lying
awake nights to devise scheme where
by this difficulty can be settled.

DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE.
1t Will Meet This Morning and Attend
to Some Important Business.

The new Democratic county central
committee will meet this morning at
New Turnverein hall, when the commit
tee will farther perfect it's organization
and outline plan of action for this cam
paign.
The ommittee will consider one very
important matter this morning and to it
considerable time and attention will be
given.
There is no question but what the
Great Register in this county has been
stuffed from 1000 to 5000 names. The
registration was exclusively in the
hands of the Republican push and the
court house ring. At the time it was
taken the county officials had not been
given four-year terms and it was ex-
pected that they would all come up for
recollection. So the motive in stuffing the
register is plain to be seen.
The. Democratic County COM
mittee will name subcommittee to
take this matter in hand and conduct a
through investigation of the infamy
that has undoubtedly been perpetrated.
1t should and will be fully exposed.
