Good News of the Change of Senti-
ment In the Valley.

ment In the Valley.
George Crafts of Bakersfield was in the
City yesterday and makes good report of
the political feeling in the lower end of the
great San Joaquin Valley.
The Populists, who seem to be as hun
cry for offices, irrespective of principle, as
are the Democrats, had fused on every
thing in sight, but they were making such
a pell-melI rush for the spoils that there
was no organization at all among them,
and that they were more like disorgan-
lied mob than anything else.
Boss Gator of the Populists has been
down in that vicinity fusing, so that be

MIR. Crafts has failed to find any Re-
publicans in Kern County who are going
10 vote for Bryan, while, on the other
hand, there are many Democrats who
have come out into the open and declared
their intention to support Mckinley and
Hobart.
Kern County used to be great wool
raising county, there being a large num-
Der OF Mexicans, Basques, Italians and
Portuguese engaged in that industry.
They we're all Democrats until the Wilson
act ruined their business and converted
them from wool-sellers to mutton seller
They are working earnestly for Mckinley

sarily be given to Mr.. Ryan, who had no diplo
matte or consular connection.

far as the Department knew no report would DO

asked whether the Consul General had been di-
rected to report freely and fully on the mill
tary situation in Gu ba, the secretary evnded the
question and declined to discuss the subject.
While Mr. Olney may not expect a report by
Collector Ryan. there Is little doubt that II the

tions into the situation on the island. Mr.. Ryan

three weeks. II Is visit may not have been for the
purpose OF bearing special report from the Gen:
eral to the President, but the fact that Ryan and

There promises to bo an exciting time to-day

sons, and as the tenants have decided not to get
out peaceably upper Broadway may be Uttered

The building Is owned by the Goelet estate.
which still controls the letting Of the offices,
although the theatre has been leased to Al
Hayman.
The agent for tho property who represents
the Goelets is j. Romaine Browne. Mr.. Brow ne
said yesterday that the Goeets had decided to
get rid Of many OF the tenants whom they con-
sidered Objectionable. Some OF these were In
arrears in their rents.
Others had too many callers at their offices.
One had too many theatrical won en- about the
place. Among the tenants is the Phoenix Club,
an organization composed of quiet business
men. who object to clipper chorus girls and
shapely soubrettes blocking up the halls and

Two FREE-SILYER CANDIDATES.
That's Mr.. Whitney'a Prediction In Cnse
the Democratic Nominate One.

Disruption for the Democratic party Is pre-
dicted by the Hon. William &. Whitney in case
tho Chicago Convention adopts free-silver
platform and names frce-silver candidates.
just how the disruption would be effected he
indicated in o talk with n reporter of THE Sun
OH Sunday.
ut seems to me impossible" said he. that
there should be fewer than two silver candidates
II the Chicago Convention should nominate one.
With the vote OF the free-silver men divided
there would be no hope OF the success OF
either OF these candidates. ] believe there
will be two silver tickets put in the
Il cld because Of the bitterness OF feeling
which exists In some sections between the
Democrats and the ropuists. This is especially
tho case in the southern States. where the Bit
tc-est foes the Democrats have are the Popu-
lists. 1t would be next to impossible TO get a
southern PupulIst to vote for n silver candi didate
nominated as a Democrat, and 1t would be
equally difficult TO ret a Southern Democrat to
vote FOR a ropulIst Presidential candidate.
Why. II will be much easier to get democrats to
vote for the Republican candidate than 10 at
tempt TO reconcile the differences Of these free
silver men Of the South and get them together
on one platform voting for the same man"
Mr.. Whitney said that in tho West. where the
Democrats have been used to fusiug on local
issues to defeat the Republicans, the question
does not present so many dlInCult points Tor au-
iustment, but in the South he believes the gulf
between the Democracy and the Populists is too
wide to bo hridged by free-slver plank. AS
to the effect of II frec-siver platform ana ticket
on tho Democracy OF the East and North he
snid it was not necessary to talk.
When it was remarked that the free-silver
men aware OF the feeling in the South, fear
tho possibilities which may como from 1t. and
hope to avoid the difficulty by getting the Dem
Ocratic National Convention to nominate Teller.
Mr.. Whitney shook his head and said:
IL still think there vii be- two free silver
prcsidrntia! candidates In he field II the Demo
Gratis should nominate ONE
