GALA DAY AT THE TRACK.
Everybody Out to See the Best Races
Ever Held the Track.

Perhaps the largest crowd that has
ever attended the races seethed two and
fro at the grounds yesterday afternoon.
The grand stand would have held but
few more, while below was gathered an
immense crowd of those who were more
directly interested in the proceedings.
The races were undoubtedly the best
ever held on this track.
The first race was a matched roadster
race, two best in three, half mile heats
between Baby F, the PAGER owned by w.
H. Fowler, Mamie H., w. H. Hcbson's
bay mare and Doc S., G. T. Stephens
roadster. The first heat was won by
would have won the heat had she not
broke when length from the wire.
Time l :40R. In the second heat Baby F
again won. taking the heat and race,
making the same time as previously.
The $3.50 free~tor-all trotting race,
mile heats, two best in three, was then
called and created great deal of in
terest among horsemen and spectators,
as it was to be the race of the meet.
There were four entries, namely: De-
ceiyer, Ben Bolt, Altus and Helen ].
In the first heat the horses got away
| under a good start and were punched
until the back stretch was reached, when
Deceiver forged ahead and led to the
finish, with Ben Bolt a very close second.
The time made was 2: 2216, breaking the
track record by. two seconds. In the
second heat Deceiver again won, making
the same time as in the first heat, Altus
coming In second and Ben Bolt third.
The famous guideless PAGER, Del Norte,
who is full brother to Chehalis, and
has the record off :04144 was then brought
upon the track and paced the half mile
in :02 15, beating the worlds record
| for half mile on a half mile track.
Del Norte is a noble and intelligent
animal and brought forth rounds of ap-
plause from the spectators when after
finishing the pace against time, he of
his own accord wheeled around and re-
turned to the judges stand and was
taken charge of by his keepers. He
made the first quarter in thirty seconds,
which is exceptional speed and especial
ly so for this track.
The next race was a mile handicap
and great deal of interest was mani.
tested as the jockeys who rode in Thurs
days race and had trouble each had g
mount. There were six horses entered
as follows: New Moon, Rarnato, Alicia
McPryor, Jim Bozeman and Begonia. A
good start was made as the rubber gate
was used and the jockeys rode for al
they were worth. 1t was one of tn,
prettiest running races that has taker
place at the fair this season and wa
watched with great interest. Bozema1
came under the wire first, making tn,
fastest time ever made on the tract
which was 1 :46. Alicia came IN second
? with New Moon close third.

Some people are disposed to believe
the new law fixing che state rate of in
terest at six per cent applies to the fu-
ture loans made by the board of state
school land commissioners. But il is we'll
to remember in this come ction. that the
statute creating the irreducible school
fund, establishing the board and pre-
scribing its duties, is specific statute
authorizing contracts bearing fixed rate
of eight per cent interest and, as such,
stands in the light of contract between

ceptible of such an amendment by gen.

JOINT BALLOT TODAY.
M'KIssoN's ATTITUDE.
Assault Upon the Candidate From
Hanna Headquarters.

Columbus, o., Jan. 1.-THE following
statement was issued from the Hanna
headquarters at the Neil house to-
night:
Mayor McKisson's zeal in espousing
the principles Of the Bryan Democracy
is apparently carrying him even to the
extent Of assuring his Democratic al
lies that he has been secretly one. of
them during the time in which he was
posing as a Republican, seeking office
at the hands of the Republican party
and making speeches in support of Re
publican principles. The statement was
made in numerous quarters yesterday
that McKiSson, before the Democratic
caucus, in accepting the senatorial
nomination at the hands of that party,
pledged himself distinctly and definitely
to support the free silver doctrine of
that party if elected. 1t now appears
that in his excessive desire to convince
his hearers of his loyalty to the silver
cause and to Democratic principles
generally, he said. in his speech, that
he was a Bryan man at heart in 1896,
and that he voted for Mr.. Bryan in the
presidential campaign. The statement
was made by Mr. Grant Halliday of
Elyria, a welI-known Democrat, who
was a member of the Democratic state
committee in 1895, and whose reputation
for accuracy is unQuestioned.
THAT statement from Mr. McKisson
places him in a curious attitude in ref
erence to party fealty. He gave every
evidence during the campaign of 1896
of loyalty to the Republican party and
was active in its campaign, was the
nominee of the Republican party for
mayor in the spring following the cam
paign Of 1896, and accepted the nOmina-
ton and election from that party,
without a hint that he was not in ac-
cord with its principles, and last fall
during the state campaign, Mr.. Nc
Kisson made a speech in which he re-
iterated his loyalty to the Republican
party. Now it appears that he, by way
of self-condemnation to the Democratic
caucus, informed its members last
night that he was secretly a Bryan man
in 1896, and voted for Bryan for presi-
dent"
In confirmation of the report that
McKisson had made this assertion to
the Democrats last night, Hon. H. NJ.
Leach of Linchfield, O., this evening
furnished to the public the following
statement:
Columbus, O., Jan. 11-Mr Grant
Halliday Of Elyria, a former member
of the Democratic state committee said
today in the presence of. Mr.. Charles
Ensign of Elyria, that Mr.. McKisson
said in the Democratic caucus last
night that he was a free silver man,
and would support the free silver leg
islation of the Democratic party, and
that he was a Bryan man in 1896 and
voted for him.

Conference With Members Who Vot-
ed For Hanna

Columbus, Jan 1.-THE Democratic
members of the legislature held another
conference tonight, at which Judge Dit
tyna, member of the fusion steering COM
mittee reported that Kurtz had promised
two more Republican votes on the joint
ballot tomorrow. Notwithstanding this
report, ii was impossible to get the three
Democrats who voted against McKiSson
today to pledge themselves for him to-
morrow. Several other Democratic MEM
bers refused to attend the conference al
though they were repeatedly sent for.
After repeated efforts TO get all of the
Democrats to vote with the six dissenting
Republicans and a failure to do so, the
conference adjourned until o'clock to-
morrow morning.
The workers for the opposition against
Hanna will not sleep tonight. but will
put in all the time until the joint ballot
is taken tomorrow at noon. Several men,
berS who voted for Senator Hanna today
were in conference with the opposition at
the, Great Southern hotel tonight, but no
changes were announced. The chances
for Hanna in the vote will be kept up
even to the entrances to the state house
tomorrow, when the members can get re-
lief on entering their respective halls.
Among the propositions pending is ons
to drop Mckisson tomorrow and vote for
Gerard. Representatives Dorst and Lane,
who have been favorable to Gerard
voted for Hanna today.
Gerrard'S friends say there was a time
when the coalition might have elected
him, but now they do not propose to have
him nominated as q sacrifice

STORY OF SUFFERING.
PROFITABLE cLEAN-UPs.
Three Men Who Compute Their
Washings In Avoirdupois.

Pomona, Cal, Jan. ia letter has
come from Dawson City, written by
ex-Assemblyman William Glover, for
merly of Nevada, and later of Ventura
county, to his brother, James, of On
tario. 1t gives interesting information
concerning the California miners who
went to the Yukon region last May. In
the party were eX-Supervisor Joseph Z.
Bullock of San Diego, and Hiram B.
Samson of Bakersfield. The party To-
Gated on a small creek at the head
waters of the Klondil.e river.
Mr.. Glover says that 81 claims were
taken there in one day. All of them
have proven wonderfully rich.
Mr.. Bullock washed out and cleaned
up over $4,000 worth of gold between
Aug. and Nov. 15
Mr.. Samson of Bakersfield, who went
into the Klondil<e region last summer
with less than $500, has nearly 100
pounds of gold, troy weight, and ex-
poets to get much more from the sluic-
ing next spring.
Mr.. Glover had about 20 pounds of
gold on hand when he wrote the letter,
and believes he would have about $780,,
900 ready to send down to San Fran
cisco by next summer.
He adds that it is the general opin-
ion in the Klondike region that from
81 ,0O0, 900 to $40 100000 will go down the
coast from the Klondike during the
season of 1895

representative Haslitt, who voted for
General Wiley, was d member of the
Democratic steering committee, and
had been working TO keep the Demo-
cratic members in line for Bushnell,
Kurtz or any other Republican who
could be elected over Hanna He says
he voted for a Democrat because he
had been fooled by the Republicans op-
posed to Hanna. They assured him last
night that they had eight Republicans
against Hanna, and they only showed
six on the ballot, one in the senate and
five in the house.
Representative Gayman, chairman of
the Democratic steering committee,
said Hanna had now enough votes re-
corded to elect, and his election, it is
now believed, cannot be prevented I'M
less some of his supporters die, be-
come seriously sick, or are absent at
the joint ballot tomorrow noon.
Charles Gerrish, the coalition chief
clerk of the house, said Hanna was
considered beaten up to an hour before
the legislature convened this morning,
when the combine" learned that Rep

quarters in operation here. 1t was said
that Droste would present the name of
Gerard, and Lane would second 1t,
and that their votes would cause a
deadlock and possibly make a compro-
mise winner out of Gerard. When
Droste early in the roll call voted loud-
ly for Hanna, that was the signal for
cheers on the Republican side. All the
Republican fusiOnists from Cincinnati
voted for Hanna, except Otis.

MINNESOTA DEMOCRATS.
Senator Jones Advises a Unifcation
of All Silver Forces.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 1.-THE
Democratic state central committee met
today IN executive session. The fea-
ture of the meeting was the reading
of a letter to Chairman RossinG, from
Senator Jones, national chairman, which
by implication, strongly urged fusion
in Minnesota. Following is an eX-
tract:
There is but one way for the gold
men to beat US, and that is for US to be
divided either by the Vaccinations of
the gold men, or by our own obstinacy
1t is of the greatest Importance, there
fore, in this struggle, that our people
everywhere manifest the greatest for
bearance towards those agreeing with
them on the main issues, who do not
agree with them in details. When the
magnitude of the interests involved
are fully considered, / have no doubt
that our own people will stand together
solid as a stone wall in defense of the
right. The most cheering news from
the different sections comes to me.
Numbers Of Democrats who were per-
suaded to abandon the party a year
ago, are back in line unanimously with
a decision to stand for all time with
the party. We are making accessions

CRAZY HANNAITEs.
Witless Adulation of the Supporters
of the Boss.

Columbus, o., Jan. 11-When the
two houses adjourned there was a gen
eral stampede for the Neil house to
congratulate Senator Hanna on the
result. The feeling for him today be-
came intensely strong, because of the
charge of bribery that had been made
by some of his enemies against some
of his friends.
Hanna responded to the repeated
calls of his friends and in answer to
their demands made a speech congrat-
ulating them on behalf of the Republic
can party for the suspicious outcome.
1T is not so much q matter of per-
sonality with me-" said he, "as it is a
question of keeping the pledges and
unfolding the integrity of the party,
and of giving heed to the will of the
people,
The excited crowd lifted the senator
from the crowd and man after man
embraced. him, while others were shak-
ing both hands.
Finally the crowd was held back and
got into line, and for fully an hour the
senator stood and grasped the hands
and listened to the exultant congratula-
lions Of the crowd. THANK God, the
right will prevail; Praise God, from
whom all Blessing fow," and kindred
expressions filed the air in choral sing
ing. One voter, with uplifted hat,
