The Fiokle Fair.

The gossips are abusing a certain
pretty Atchison girl whose sweetheart
is with the volunteers at Camp Alger
for coming down town the other night
with another young man for soda wa
ter. Although it is less than two
months since he enlisted to fight and
perhaps bleed for his country, she is al
ready fiokle. When he comes back with
the medals pinned all over his breast
and soorns her, how she will bitterly
repent taking that glass of soda water

How can the Miner claim the
democratic party for the consistent
friend of silver when democratic
conventions of five great eastern
states have already turned down the
Chicago platform and denounced
Bryan? There seem to be goldbugs
in all parties except the silver repub-
lican, and they creep into that, too,
whenever there is spook of chanc e
for an office.

A casual glance at the various
tickets of the political parties as
presented on this page will enable
all true friends of silver to see that
the democrats are hypocritical and
simple lot. BY refusing to indorse
the course of Chas. S. Hartman,
they put a discount on honesty
which sends dishonesty to a premi-
um.

JAMES G. MAGUIRE AS
 4 POLITICAL OSTRICH
COLONEL EDDY DESCRIBES HIM
 IN A SPEECH.
Enthusiastic Republican Rally Held at B'nai B'rith Hall Last
 Evening.

There was a large and enthusiastic gathering of citizens last evening at B'nai Birth Hall on Eddy street. between Mason and Taylor, to listen to campaign speeches by Colonel T. V. Eddy, ex-Su- preme Judge Van R. Paterson and other Republican leaders. The hall was taste fully decorated in the national colors. The Sam Booth quartet and a brass band fur nished music.
 Colonel Eddy devoted an hour and a half to the record of James G. Mcguire, and before he had finished there was very little left of the duplicate candidate for Governor on the Democratic ticket The colonel dwelt on Maguires hypocrisy in accepting nominations from the Demo- crats, the Silver Republicans and the Populists on diametrically opposite plat forms and principles. He quoted Ma guire's record in Congress when the latter opposed the bill prohibiting the influx of European anarchists and nihilists to our shores Mcguire then stated that the nihilists were the Democrats of Russia "Why should we exclude them?" he asked.
 Colonel Eddy was of the opinion that MT. Mcguire somewhat resembled the ostrich in gastronomic powers, inasmuch as he had successfully taken into his stomach the husks of Silver Republican, ism, the old bones of Populism and the cobbleStoneS or Democracy.
 Judge Paterson's speech was specially directed toward exposing the sham re- former, Hefting Jimmy Phelan. He's a rank demagogue!" exclaimed the Judge "and the only reason I have taken the stump in this campaign is that l desire to rebuke him for his arrogant attacks upon the Supreme Court of the State, of which I have had the honor of being member Phelan is a pretense. He Is sham and a delusion.' The Judge then proceeded to give cogent reasons for his statements and proved his case against the hefting Mayor.
 Charles L. Patton made brief address, stating that he would make 1t his busi- ness to give the city clean administra- tion. He guaranteed that the money in the city treasury would be counted here after instead of "hefted" in the Demo oy.ot i0 Gf1yla

 Judge Mcguire was introduced by Judge Albery with a few appropriate remarks, His speech was along the lines of the campaign issues embodying his ideas regarding the single tax and the money question.
 Judge Mcguire was followed by MT. Hutchison, who held the interest of the audience astonishingly we'll under the circumstances. He gave his views on governmental principles, on corpor- ationS, the railroads and other moneyed institutions and their bearings upon government and upon legislation. He suggested remedies for the ills of the country and urged the people to do their duty at the polls to correct these abuses to free humanity from the moneyed power.

ure of precious metal which the mines had yielded and of the greater wealth derived from the orchards and vines.
 Proceeding to a discussion Of polltl- cal topics the Senator spoke at length on national affairs. He reviewed the work of President McKinley's admins, tration, indicating where the industrlal conditions of the country had been pet tered by the protective policy Of the na- tion. The address throughout followed the line of his masterly speech at Woodland ! His reference to the achievements of the Oregon, the gal lantry of American soldiers and sail ors, the patriotism of the American people evoked hearty rounds of ap- rlause. The success of the meeting to- night of Butte County voters, the vast turnout and the remarkable enthu- siasm displayed, inspire the Republi- cans with renewed confidence. This county was carried for Bryan. but the Republicans are confident of their abil- ity to win out for Gage and Neff on No vember 8. To-night's demonstration was record breaker for the numbers assembled.
 Tomorrow morning at 4 o'clock Mr. Gage will leave for Vallejo and to- morrow night will address the voters of Solano County. He is somewhat fatigued by rising at or o'clock in the morning and speaking late at night. But his voice is not :npaired

REMOVED HIS STOMACH.
Physicians Pronounce the Operation
 Successful, but the Patient Dies.

Successful, put the Fat1ent D1eS.
 Another attempt at the sensational ope- ration of removing a stomach was made yesterday morning at the City and County Hospital. According to the phy- sicians and the assembled students the operation was most successful, despite the fact that the patient succumbed.'
 John Hoffmann is the name of the un- fortunate. For some months he was the victim of a cancerous growth, malig- nant in nature All other treatment proving futile 1t was decided that the removal of the stomach was necessary and preparations were made yesterday for an immediate operation.
 In the absence of Dr. R. A. Mclean, Dr. Brigham, assisted by Dr. Tillman, operation. Some other physicians were present among whom were Dr. Hopkins, Dr Sussdorf and pr. Moffitt. The patient was much weakened in health by the rav- ages of the dread disease, and a perni- cious anaemia which had so enervated his system that little reserve strength was left to survive the operation.
 The initial incision was made by pr. Brigham, Dr. Ttllman handling the hae- mostatic forceps. Proceeding rapidly the mesentery, the fold enveloping the stom- ach was detached from the greater curV- ature the lower part of the stomach. A small adhesion to the liver was found, but this did not deter the operation. The mesentery removed, the esophagus was severed near the cardiac opening of the stomach. The incision was made be- tween two ligatures bound near the car diac opening. The ascending colon was then cut and the stomach removed A Murphy button was inserted and the as- cending colon bound to the esophagus.
 Up to this point the operation was sue cessful The patient then showed signs of syncope, which necessitated the ad- ministratfon of strychnine and Gtropine. Life was sustained until the close. but as attendants were removing the patient to the ward he succumbed.
