SLEEPY CITY,

In its effort to capture the influx OF
trade that is coming from the East
with the klondike boom next spring
the town of Seattle has subscribed
yer a million dollars. San Fran
cisco has so far subscribed less than
$50, 900. San Francisco is fast gOing
the down grade because of the apathv
OF It's business men, and one might
also add, their parsimory.
ALT Chartz in the Courier saws;
The San Francisco merchants are
taking steps to capture the Klondike
trade. They ought not to have it.
They used to enjoy the Nevada trade,
which was worth a hundred Klon-
bikes and whenever this State needed
the vote of the San Francisco mer-
chants in support of that industry
the greatest part of the profits of
which went to enrich San Francisco
merchants, they invariably voted
against us, thus killing the goose
that was laying the golden eggs.
am in favor OF putting an everlasting
boycott on San Francisco merchants:
until they vote our way.

Mr.. Mercer, chairman of the Re

Nebraska, is certainly endowed with
a happy disposition. The silver men
have Just carried the State by a plu-
ral1ty fully as large as that Of last
year. In the very midst of his grew
some task of gathering up the frag-
ments of his defeated party, MI. Mer-
Ger pauses a moment and triumph
antly announces to the world that
tie silver cause is still dead in Ne
braska. Just what he thinks would
have happen to the Republican party
in that State if the silver cause had
been alive and we'll, he did not saw.
Presumably he was too busy to go
into any such little puttering details.

HI SENATORSHLP.

According to the following article
IN the Journal there may be three
candidates for U. S. Senator in the
field for the next election. 1t saws;
The term of Senator w. NJ Stewart
will expire on the 3rd day of March
1899. The duty of choosing his sue
cesscr will devolve upon the Legisla-
ture which is to be elected next No
venlber. 1t is currently reported that
there will be at least two other Cand :
dates in the fight for the Senatorship
III the Silver-Democratic party. and,
OF course, the gold men will have a
candidate, for, strange as 1t may
seem, there are persons in this silver
producing State who favor the gold
standard.
At present Senator Stewart is the
only person who has publicly an
nounced his candidacy for the Sena-
torship, though Hon. Francis G.
Newlands, our present Representa-
tive in Congress, and Hon. A. G..
Cleveland, Of White Pine, who left
the Republican party when that party
declared against silver, are frequently
mentioned in connection with the
place. Both Mr.. Newlands and Mr..
Cleveland have been interviewed on
the subject, but neither so far as re-
ported IN the papers, gave a decisive
answer to the question: Are on a
candidate for United States SENATOR"

Aitgeid Charges Fraud

Chicago, Jan. "a -Ex Governor
Altgeld was last night given com
plimentary banquet by his friends at
the fremont house. and in the
course of his speech be made whole
sale charges of fraud at the late elec
ton. He said, among other things:
In Ohio there were nearly 200,
900 more votes counted In 1896 than
there were in 1892. which would in
dicate an increase of population in
that State during four years OF very
nearly 100000 of people, whereas
in reality there has not been an in
crease Of third of million in that
time. In other words, is is clear
that 10 Ohio over $4,000 fraudulent
votes we're counted. and as the re.
turns show that Mckinley bad only
. majority of $4,000 in that state. it
is certain that Mr.. Bryan carried
Ohio by over 10000
In Illinois, in 1892, practically
Every legal vote was cast, yet in
1896 there were 243, 600 more voters
counted than there were 10 1892
During the whole past history IT
Illinois our population bad not
reached 1000, 900; in ten years from
| 1850 to 1890, during which our
growth was greatest, the population
of the state increased only about
100000; yet, according to the late
election returns, the population OF
this state increased in four veare,
from 1892 to 1896. nearly 1900, 900.
This shows the monstrosly fraudu
lent character of the whole proceed
ing
It should be said that not~iih
standing these fraudulent votes
Mckinley did carry Illinois, but onl!
bv a small majority, and not b.
l60, 900 majority, as reported, but
i. certain he did not carry OHIO ant
Indiana, or Kentucky, or California
