OAKLAND, Sept. THE celebra
the evening of Thursday, September
s, in San Francisco, when the parlors
of that city will have a parade
through the streets and will take a
special boat for Oakland. where they
will spend the night in preparation
for the anniversary of California's ad-
mission into the Union.
Oakland is already preparing for
the reception of the Natives. The
streets are being decorated with bunt-
ing and electric lights. the old City
Hall is being covered with the colors
of the Union and the city is every
where taking on celebration air.
The committees from the different
parlors of Native Sons are working
hard and the programmes have been
nearly completed in detail. L. N.
Cobbledick has been at the head of
the general celebration committee
from the Oakland parlors and much
of the success of the celebration has
been due to his efforts.
There will be something to occupy
the attention of the visitors from the
moment that the parade moves in
the morning until late at night. The
literary exercises will be held immedi-
ately at the close of the parade at the
High School grounds. The regatta
will be sailed on Lake Merritt at the
close of the literary exercises and at
Idora Park at 2:15 o'clock there will
be a baseball game between the
Stockton and Oakland lodges of Elks.
There has been a friendly rivalry be-
tween these two lodges for years and
Stockton will try to break into the
list of victories that have been won
by the Oakland lodge. The lineup
will be as follows:

A PUZZLED DEMOCRAT

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: From the standpoint OF a Chicago platform
Democrat the political situation IS very clear
On the one hand. have the Republican party,
with its interests being taken care Of BY Repub-
Ac2as. On the other hand. we have the so-caIled
sistant Republicans.
/ mean 10 be understood as saying that all the
parties which are Identified with the management
Of the Democrats canvass either contributed
money, went the stump for or voted for Nc
Kinley in 1886 and 1900 and it looks though the
candidate for Governor on the Democratic ticket
viii come from the same class
Some time ego there was considerable talk about
Controller Grout for Governor However, this
talk has subsidized. There was never opening
for Grout In the first place. he does not suit the
together too Independent. In the next place, he
supported Bryan in 1885 and 1890.
Lamont, Goodyear. some other ooiter, will IN
doubtedly head the Democratic ticket II is in
deed amusing TO how nicely the boilers refer
to each other Lamont says he is not candidate,
and adds that Goodyear Jerome would make a
good candidate. whereupon Jerome says Lamont
is an honest man: I for him. Goodyear fol-
lows up by saying that Lamont Is just the klnd
of man that the Democratic party must nave as
its candidate because he has not voted the Demo-
cratic ticket for the last ten years , .so.
Mr.. Shepard who bitterly opposed Bryan In 1895
has lightning rod UP, and through the aid OF his
friend Peabody, the treasurer Of the Democratic
poets to get the nomination Notwithstanding the
fact that he is the attorney for the Pennsylvania
Railroad and the Sugar Trust
] believe that better advice be secured from
paper that is always consistent and Is not
switching from one side to the other 1t occurs 10
me that the Chicago platform Democrats IN the

cratic organization. THOMAS MDERMOTT.

Is it fact that IL issue before the
