Nathan Cole, jr., left for the east yester-
day morning, accompanied by MS oidest
daughter. Mr. Cole will be gone until the
first of the year. On the train he SAID:
81 shall be gone month, at least, but
maybe longer. L shall see Senator Teller,
Charles "A. Towne and other leaders of the
movement for an American financial policy,
nd with them arrange for the campaign IN
this state. The free coinage OF silver is not
dead issue by any means, but will be
fought out at the polls in 1900 with Bryan
at the head. look for legislation in con-
gress trying to force us on to the gold stand
ard, but there are enough loyal Republicans
in the east who will not go that far. The
Republican party would like to see silver
dead issue, but it is not dead, nor sleep
ing.
GIN the city election I hope every man
that has the good of our cause at heart Will
support Mayor Snyder and the whole Dem
cratic and nUion ticket. The mayor has
been honest, earnest and active in his stand
for the people, and they should show their
appreciationof his endeavors by re-electing
him. The Silver Republican club is going
right on doing business at the old stand,
and when | come back can tell you some
thing of our plans for the future"
Calabasas is, as usual, to the front. Fusion
was seeming success, for the Republicans
fused with any old thing and anybody to
beat Branscomb for constable. They would
trade anybody, from Gage down, to beat
him, but through all the storm of ballots
Branscomb stood undismayed, and was only
beaten by one vote. He now claims that
three voters w ere brought in from the out
side for the express purpose OF defeating
him. He is now contesting the result of the
election before the board of supervisors.
The Hickory club will have rousng meet
ing tomorrow night, at which all the candi-
dates will be present. Business of great i'm
portance will be transacted, and all the men,
bers are requested to be present. Music and
refreshments, as usual.
There will be two Union meetings to-
night, in the Sixth and Seventh wards.
The Sixth ward meeting will be held in
Akey's hall, corner of Vernon street and
Central avenue. Earl Rogers and j. Moo
nan Phillips will be the principal speakers,
with all the candidates.
In the Seventh ward the meeting will be
held in the hall at 6l0 East Fifth street.
Isadore b. Dockweiler, Frank Finlayson and
Frank James being the speakers. John
Nerny will preside.
Charlie O'Brien, the genial secretary of
the Democratic city central committee,
works almost night and day for the success
of the ticket If theref were more like him
it would only be question of how big the
majority would be for the ticket.
1t is announced that Frank Flint is sup
porting Collette for councilman in the First
ward, and the question Immediately arises
whether it is for the purpose of electing or
defeating his supposed candidate. Flint is
first of all Republican, and is not man
that is apt to bolt his party at critical
time like this, unless for a purpose. Has
he a purpose, is the question that is fore
most now.
Mayor Snyder has entirely recovered from
the illness of yesterday, and will meet his
engagements tonight.
