meeting to order and presented Judge
G.. E. Otis as chairman of the evening.
After long talk for party union Judge
Otis started to introduce the speaker
of the evening, when a gentleman in
the audience arose and asked to be al
lowed to say a few words. He was
called to the platform and proved to
be Y. B. Stewart, who made a short,
pithy speech that set the audience wild
with enthusiasm. Stewards earnest
ness was infectious and his arra1gn-
ment OF the party of organized greed
was severe. but deserved.
Hardly had Stewart closed when Hugh
Percy, a brother of the middle f-the-
reader, arose from the audience. His
request to speak was the signal for an
other storm of enthusiasm and his SEN
timents met with a complete ovation.
He said, in part; Il also am one or the
middle -the-road Populists-an open
confession is always good for the soul.
(Cries of Good! good! That's SOD l
take this occasion to make the confess
sion, not only to you, but to the entire
world. / was one of the representatives
of San Bernardino County who met in
Sacramento for the purpose of nomi-
mating the Peoples party ticket. In
the effort we were frustrated by class
of men who crept into the Peoples
party under the guise of honesty and
have undertaken to trade the principles
of Our party for place ana power. Ihat
we will not permit. This necessitated
a division and we came to a parting of
ways. l thought at the time that we
had cleared the ship of state from the
barnacles which were hanging to her
hull, and that we would be able to go
into a clear political sea, but the Su-
prerne Court decided we had no place
on the ticket, and as good citizens we
bow to the law. There is. then, but one
thing left. That decision of the Su-
pfeme Court practically forbade 10000
citizens of California from casting their
votes for the principles they desired to
support Thus we have a condition to
meet which few men in political life
have ever been confronted with. AS
my friend Stewart said, do not love the
Republican party more, but despise any
marty that will crawl in and undertake
to stand on so many platforms that it
would puzzle centiped to furnish feet
for all of them.

Schoolteachers.
THEY REPUDIATE A TICKET
WAS FIXED UP BY employees
OF BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Expected to Retain Their Clerkships
by Promising the Support Of
the Teachers to Demo-
cratic Nominees.

An investigation has been made regard
ing the origin of the so-caIled teachers
ticket with the result that clerks in the
office of the Board of Education are
shown in an unenviable light.
This ticket, which bore the heading,
Regular Teachers Ticket for School
Directors" appeared some weeks since.
1t was al once repudiated by the teachers,
who affirmed that no candidates for places
on the board had received their indorse-
ments. With their reputation of the
electioneering dodge began an inquiry as
TO the sponsors of the ticket, and 1t re-
CURED but little inquiry TO fix the blame
on persons employed in the office of the
Board of Education.
Charles w. WEIGH, secretary of the
Board of Education, is charged with hav-
ing originated the scheme, the object of
which was to catch the votes of persons
IN sympathy with the teachers. He was

These men, who are in the employ Of the
city, went to all the Democratic candi-
dates for School Directors and asked each
nominee to pledge himself to retain them
in their respective positions, and in re-
the so-called teachers ticket. 1t is pre-
Sumed the Democratic candidates for
places on the Board of Education gave
the desired assurances that the men
would be retained.
The names of eight Democrats appear

majority, To lend a -non-partisan look

named. This leaven in the Democratic
loaf was made up of the names of George

Democrats who are supposed to have
committed themselves to the scheme were

During the Battle of

SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.

The Packers at the Battle of Santiago
de Cuba were all Heroes Their
Heroic Efforts in Getting Ammunition
and Rations to the Front Saved the
Day.
p. e. Butler, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on July
23rd, says: eve all had diarrhoea in
more or less violent form, and when we
landed we had no time to see a doctor,
for it was case of rush and rush
night and day to keep the troops sup
Ilied with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Chamberlain Collie, Cholera
and DiarrhOea Remedy, we were able
to keep at work and keep our health;
in fact, / sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine was the in
direct saviour of our army, for if the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting
supplies to the front There were no
roads that wagon train could use. My
'comrade and myself had the good for
tune to lay in a supply Of this medicine
for our pack-train before we left Tam
pa, and know in four cases itabsolute-
ly saved life"
