LOST T0 THE SAN JOSE DEROCRACY Resignation Handed In by County Committeeman Caldwell. NOT A REPUDIATIONIST. Dissatisfied With the Platform Adopted at the Chicago Convention. BRYAN SUPPORTERS AT SEA. Consternation Follows the drawal of Two Erstwhile Leaders. With- BAN JOSE, Car., Sept. 14.—Dr. Robert Caldwell has tendered his resignation as a member of the Democratic County Cen- tral Committee because of his dissatisfac- tion with the platform adopted by the Democratic Convention at Chicago. His resignation was handed to a member of the committee several days ago, but no action has yet been taken. In speaking of his retirement from the committee Dr. Caldwell said he did not believe it would be proper for him to re- main on the committee while his views on the currency question were directly op- posed to those of the Democratic party. “I consider it preposterous,” said he, ‘“for the American people to claim that they can maintain the ratio of 16 to 1 be- tween silver and gold, independent of any other nation. It would be no more absurd to say that the army ard navy of the United States could whip the combined armies of the world. If we are to have commercial relations with foreign coun- tries we must be able to pay for their products in the coin the seller and not the buyer elects to receive. The seller fixes prices and chooses the kind of money he will take for his goods. If silver is coined free the gold of this country must, accord- ing to natural laws of finance, go out of circulation among the people. It will cause silver money to depreciate in value, and as a natural result cheapen the pur- chasing power. You can call anything a doliar you please, but no person or Gov- ernment can force a man to take a de- preciated coin in payment for his wares. “My five years’ residence in Japan and India furnished an object lesson as to the fallacy of free coinage of silver which I shali never forget. No gold isin circula- tion in either of those countries, and the silver is so cumbersome that few people care co handle it. *It is generally the man of some means who can do a credit bustness, and on this account 1 think the iree silver idea, if it should ever go into effect, will work a worse injury upon the laboring man than on the capitalist. True, it will and must injure both, besides lowering this country to an equality with Mexico, Japan and China. A pretty prospect indeed. ““The farmer who has a mortgage on his place and expects free silver to pay it off will be the worst fooled man of the lot. These mortgages are all made payable in gold, apd when the gold has been retired from_circulation by free coinage of silver he will have to pay a dear price in silver for the gold coin in which to liquidate his debt.” Dr. Caldwell has been a life-long Demo- crat, and several years ago was the Demo- cratic candidate for Mayor. His resig- nation, coming so soon after that of James T. Rucker, who resigned on Saturday, has caused consternation in Democratic circles, i A LOS ANGELES REPUBLICANS, The County Central Committee Organises for the Campaign. LOS ANGELES, CaL, Sept. 14—The newly elected County Central Committee of the Republican party met this forenoon to organize. Chairman Wood, after a few remarks calling attention to the fact that the committee had a hard fight on 1ts hands, with little capital to work with, announced that the first order of business was the selection of & new chairman, H. Henderson nominated B. W. Lee, and on motion of Major Bonsall the selec- tion was made unanimous. Mr. Lee re- ceived an ovation as he was escorted to the chair. He thanked the members for the honor conferred upon him and urged that they stand shoulder to shoulder in the coming fight. There was considerable discussion as to who should compose the executive com- mittee. A motion finally prevailed that a committee of five,including the chairman, should be named, and that it shouid have power to name the executive committee, which shall consist of three members from each of the five supervisorial dis- | tricts. The chair appointed the following: First District, John McDonald; Secona, Major W. H. Bonsall, chairman; Third, W. H. Cook; Fourth, J. B. Neviile; Fifth, A.J. Gwyn. On motymn of Mayor Bonsall the chair- man was empowered to appoint an auxil- iary committee of five of the best men to be found in the county to act with the ex- ecutive committee. —_—— NEWMAN'S McKINLEY CLUB. Modesto Kepublicans Assist in Lawnch- ing the Organization. NEWMAN, CaAL., Sept. 14.—Citizens of Newman and vicinity met this evening to organize a McKinley Republican club. E. 8. Wangenheim was chosen president of the meeting. The roll was opened and forty names were signed. A delegation came over from Modesto to assist in the organization. The club was addressed by C. J. Needham, attorney, of Modesto. His was an earnest talk, pictur- ing the dire calamity that has overshad- owed the country since Cleveiand’s first election. He said prosperity would return to us only with the return of the Republi- can party to power and the establishment of a high protective tariff. W. K. McMillan, president of the Modesto McKinley Republican Club, then delivered a_ short address. He was fol- lowed by T. C. Hocking, editor of the Modesto Herald. The strong point which he made was that only a hizh protective tariff wou!d afford general prosperity. J. A. Wagner closed with a beauntiful word- picture of the country under McKinley and protection. Three cheers were given for the grand old party. e LOS ANGELES COMBINE. Popocratic Fusion Arranged by Bosses of Two Partics. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Sept. 14.—The words “People’s party” should now be ex- punged from the political pariance of Los Angeles County and those of ‘*‘boss- fusion party” substiiuted. It is safe to say that not one dozen members of the rank and file of that “party of the peo- ple” really had anything to do with shap- ing the local policies and plans of the present campaign. Fusion was planned and executed by the Populists and_a similar number from the Democrats. The conventions of both parties to-day did nothing bat ratify the work (done mostly at night) of the steer- micommm,reu. fter the Democrats had nominatéd M. E. C. Munday and George H. Smith on their portion of the judicial ticket and the names were sent to the Populists for in- dorsement the Populists nominated A. J. Utley and Henry Hazarq, the latter as & silver Republican. When the Democratic convention reassembles to-morrow the two Populist nominees will be indorsed. G After nominating the allotted candi- dates for Superior Judges the Democratic convention took a recess until to-morrow forenoon. The Populists nominated B. A. R. Bprague of Antelope Valley for Assem- blyman in the Seventieth District, Frank A. Cattorn of South Pasadena for the Seventy-first, W. R. Steele of Compton in the Seventy-second and S. A. Waldron in the Seventy-fifth District. e e RO SANTA CRUZ EEPUBLICANS. Delegates to the Sematorial Convention Pledged to D. H. Stout.§ SBANTA CRUZ, CaL., Sept. 14.—The Re- publican convention of Santa Cruz County was called to order in the assembly-room of the Young Men’s Christian Associa- tion. David F. Maher of Watsonville pre- sided and Dr. B. Plant acted as secretary. The foliowing were elected delegates to the Senatorial Convention: S8an Lorenzo, R. Thompson; Soquel, W. H. Aiken; Pajaro, ‘W. R. Radcliff: Branciforte, L. J. Dake; Seaside, C. W. Waldron. The platform indorsed the St. Louis platform, McKinley and Hobart as the standard-besrers of protection and pros- perity, urged increased efforts for good roads and highways and favoread the State of California establishing a permanent encampment for the National Guard of this State at Santa Cruz City. The reso- lutions embraced a hearty indorsement of Hon. James McLachlan for Congress. In- structions were given to the delegates to the joint Senatorial convention of San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties to vote to secure the Senatorial nomination for D. H. Trout. The record of Assemblyman B. A. Osborn was praised. Included in the resolutions was a para- graph commending Senator Perkins’ sterling integrity and fidelity. G. G. Rad- cliff of Watsonville spoke in support of this resolution. Judge W. H. Aiken of- fered a vigorous objection to the delegates being pledged, and brought forward an amendment to strike out that part of the report of the commitiee on resolutions. After a lengthy debate the amendment was defeated by & vote of 5934 to 3134. Mr. Trout was called beiore the convention and stated he wounld support Perkins. These nominations for Supervisors were made: Branciforte, J. S. Collins; San Lorenzo, 8. H. Rambo; Soquel, J. D. Esty. The delegates at large to the Senatorial Convention are;: W. H. Lamb, L. J. Dake, P. R. Hinds and D. F. Maher. B. A. Osborn was nominated for As- semblyman, ana as an aftermath of the fight at the polls between Judge Logan and District Attorney Lindsay on Satur- day last, in which Lindsay was defeated, the District Attorney gracefully placed the name of his opponent before the con- vention, and Judge Logan received the nomination for Superior Judge by ac- clamaticn. e COOMBS NAMED AT NAPA, The Ex-Minister to Japan Nominated for Assemblyman. NAPA, Car., Sept. 14.—The Napa County Republican Convention met in the court- house here to-day. F. B. Mackinder of St. Helena presided. The platform favors the fullest possible use of silver as money, but demands a 100- cent dollar for the payment of the sol- diers’ pensions and the laborers of this country. Itapproves the course of Sena- tor Perkins, and instructs the nominees for the Assembly, if elected in November, to support him. Refunding of the Pacific roads’ debt is opposed. Hon. Frank L. Coombs was nominatea for Assemblyman by acclamation. Coombs is a Native Son of the Golden West, and is one of the officers of the Grand Parlor. He was born in Napa County on December 27, 1853. He gradu- ated from the Columbia Law School in Washington, D. C., in 1875, and was that year admitted to practice in the Supreme Coury of California the following year. He has served as District Attorney of Napa County and_as a representative in the Legislature. He proved his ability to represent not only this State but this Na- tion when he was United States Minister to Japan. In the coming election Mr. Coombs will be elected by an overwhelm- ing majority. Atvorney P. 8. King placed Judge E. 8, Ham before the convention for Superior Judge, and he was unanimously chosen. For_ Supervisors, Frank W. Bush, Frank B. Phillips and W. A. Trubody were named. e SOMNOMA COUNTY FUSION. Democrats and Populists Combine on a Ticket. HEALDSBURG, CaL, Sept. 14.—The Democratic County Convention met here to-day. H. H. Hyne of Healdsburg was chosen chairman, E. L. Finley of Santa Rosa secretary, and A. B. Provines of Healdsburg assistant secretary. On motion a committee of three was ap- pointed to confer with the conference committee selected by the Populist con- vention. The chair named J. W. Fates, Santa Rosa; D. W. Ravenscroft. Peta- luma; William Holmes, Knights Valley. The Populist convention named as a committee on fusion E. G. Furber, F. ‘W. Heseker and E. C. Hildreth. These gentlemen met the Democratic committee and wire-pulling and hard work was in order. The Populists were willing to give up everything for the Assemblymen, but the head men 1n the Democratic councils disliked very muck to yield this. The concession was finally made, and the two conventions resolved themselyes into one and named A. B. Ware and J, C. Simms, both of Santa Rosa, for Superior Judges. The Populists nominated Allen R. Gallaway of Heaidsburg for Assembly- man from the Sixteenth District and George Hoyle of Cloverdale for the Seven- teenth District. The Democrats nomi- nated W. P. Barnes as Supervisor in the First District, A. W. Thompson of Sonoma in the Third, F. Glenn of Ocean in the Fifth. e HAERIS AT ONTARIO. Demoerats Urged to' Vote Against the Boy Orator. ONTARIO, CarL., Sept. 14.—Hon. Will A. Harris, the silver-tongued orator of the Southern California Democracy, addressed a large gathering at this place Saturday night, under the aunspices of the sound- money Democrats. Mr. Harris is a pol- 1shed and forceful speaker, and held his large andience to the closest attention. *I am a Democratr,”’ said Mr. Harris, “but I prefer to asscciate with Bourke Cockran, Carlisle, Hill or even Cleveland | rather than with Anarchist Altgeld, Pitch- fork Tillman or Cvclone Davis.” He appealed to the Democracy to stand for the maintenance of the public honor and the credit of the Natiom, and not affiliate with a party composed of repudia- tioniste, socialists and anarchists, e FAVORS FREE SILVER. Professor Koss of Stanford Tells of the Eastern Campaign. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Car., Sept. 14.—Professor Ross of the economics de- partment of the university returned this morning from Chicago, where he has been delivering a course of lectures for the Uni- versity of Chicago. Professor Ross is a free silver man and is filled to the brim with politics just now. He says that there is greater activity in the East than ever before in & political THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1896. a half dozen bosses from | campaign. All classes are interested, and he believes that, no matter what the out- come of the election may be, the cam- paign has served the good purpose of bringing the inteiligence of the American people to bear on the monetary problem. e i SHAW SPEAKS 4T FVALLEJO. Practioal Illustrations Clinch His Argu- ments for Sound Money, VALLEJO, Cawn., Sept. 14.—Colonel Henry G. Shaw addressed a large and enthusiastic audience in Eureka Hall this evening under the auspices of the Mec- Kinley and Hobart Club of Vallejo. The colonel confined himself almost entirely to the monetary plank, and in the course of his remarks made many telling points against the stereotyped arguments for the unlimited and independent coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 by the United States. He said that with the destruction of the parity of the precious metals, which it was the policy of the Republican party to maintain, California would share the fate of Prometheus. She had brought, he said, many blessings to the Union. The mythological hero had done the same for mankind. For his presumption he was condemned to perpetual imprisonment and chained to a rock, while a vulture lorever&)reyed upon his liver, which was renewed as fast as it was devoured. If California were to be chained to the rock of free silver, the vultures would soon be forthcoming in the shape of the specific contract law. California’s zold product was her liver, but the vultures would not be satisfied with preying on that alone, but would have to incessantly attack her other vital organs. Under the specific contract law the peo- ple of California had incurred obligations to pay debts in gold amounting in the aggregate to more than $250,000,000, With gold at a premium, the people of Caiifor- nia would suffer. Colonel Shaw referred to the Federal disbursements in the State of California, all payable in gold, and called attention to the fact that as Solano County had both the Mare Island Navy-yard and the Beni- cia cavalry post and arsenal within her | boundaries her people would incur a very serious loss in a financial sense if these disbursements were to be made in 50-cent dollars. The colonel’s illustrations or object les- sons were both interesting and instructive. Among his exhibits was an umbrella, a silver $20 piece four inches in diameter, a Chinese sword made of Mongolian *‘cash,’” strips of colored paper, charts and, many other things, which served to make very clear to the very dullest mind many of the most perplexing questions relating to the monetary issue. R AP Sl Seattle’s Silver Rally. SEATTLE, Wasn.,, Sept. 14.— About 3000 people attended the meeting of the free silver forces of this city and county, held at Armory Hall to-night under the auspices of the Union Veterans' Club. United States Benator Squire presided. Addresses were made by Senator Squire, Hon. W. C. Jones of Spokane, Republican Attorney-General of the State and candi- date for Congress, and Hon. G. W. Thomp- son of Tacoma. Seated on the stage as vice-presidents were 100 Union veterans. San Diego Veterans Rally. SAN DIEGO, CaL., Sept. 14.—The Vet- eran McKinley Club held a rally to-night at the headquarters of the McKinley Club. 01d soldiers were numerous in the assem- bly. Speeches weie made by J. C. Long, A. C. Shaffer of Los Angeles, P. 8. Burk of Ohio and Judge Luce. The veterans, 200 strong, sent greeting to Comrade Wil- liam McKinley, and greeting was sent by the regular McKinley Club, 1500 strong. Sy et Suffrage Campaign in Yolo. WOODLAND, CAL., Sept. 14.—Woman suffragists are making an active campaign in this county. Mrs. Naomi Anderson, colored suffragist, addressed her race at the Second Christian Church last night and organized a club comprising all the leading colored people in this city. R gy s Butte County Convention. CHICO, Car., Sept. 14—The Butte County Republican Committee has issued a call for a county convention at Oroville on Wednesday, September 30. Primaries will be held on Saturday, the 26th. CYCLISTS ON THE CHARTER The Imperial Club Hears Sev- - eral Speeches in Its Favor. About 300 bicyclists attended last night's open meeting of the Imperial Cychng Club to hear a series of addresses on the new cherter. R. L. Radje, president of the club, occupied the chair. The opening speech, in defense of the new charter, was made by M. H. Hecht. He reviewed some of the salient features of the document, notably certain provis- ions which he contended would render more difficult the possibility of official corruption. As for the Mayor having the power to appoint most of the Ci% officials he in- stanced the city of St. Pau!, which he called one of the best governed cities in the United States, and in which he said the city officials, or most of them, were appointed by the Mayor, Charles Wesley Reed, the next speaker, contended that the Supervisors were more interested in the disbursement of pub- lic moneys than in the making of good City ordinances. He referred in caustic terms to the fact that a majority of the present Board of Supervisors is now under indictment by the Grand Jjury for corrupt behavior " in office. He also noted the disgraceful condition of the City’s streets and sewers. Under the new charter he contended things would be dif- ferent. The opponents of the new charter were, be said, for the most part office-seekers, whose interest in politics would cease as soon as their chances for corraling good salaries might be taken away. v He deplored the school clausein the pro- osed charter. If a Califarnia boy could e taught in the public schools by a grad- unate of Harvard, he said that boy should have this advantage, To _have the J)nbllc schoolteachers of this State limited to graduates of Califor- nia schools would, he thought, resultin California becoming provineial in the mat- ter of public education. In concluding he made an eloquant plea for the new char- ter and adjured his hearers to vote for it. James D. Phelan made an eloguent plea for the new charter on the ground that it would provide better streets for bicyclists. He also applauded the document for its gmvuan that the civil service rules are to e applied to employesof the City govern- ment. As for the autocracy of the Mayor under the new charter, he said the Mayor would be the people’s autocrat, and for two years only, entering and leaving office at the bidding of the people. The school clause could, he contended, be satistactorily ex- plained away to the entire content of ail parties interested. J. Richard Freud, the next speaker, said the same arguments could be adyvanced against the Federal and State constitu- tions as have been alleged against the new charter. No g:blle instrument could be expected to absolutely perfect, since there were fifteen amendments to the United States constitution and no less than twenty-two of the eighteen-year- old State constitution, not counting the extra six which are to be voted upon at the coming elections, It would be an im- Erovumnt in municipal government, and e asked the votes of his hearers for it. A few weli chosen words of thanksand good-night greeting Mr. Radke brought the meeting to a close. RACE WINNERS AT SACRAMENTO Fitzsimmons Outfooted by Charivari in the Match PILOTED BY OWNEB'S. Mr. Hug Handles the Reins With the Judgment of a Professional. LOTTIE LILAC TAKES A STAKE Bill Frasier and E lert Defeat Their Fie!ds—Contention Over Fair Awards. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Sept. 14.—Un- doubtedly the most interest attached to the match race at the track to-day for $500 a side between Charivari, owned by Charles A. Hug, and Fitzsimmons, the property of W. R. Fuller. Both are well- known young business men of San ¥ran- cisco, and the friends of each were out in large numbers with their ‘rooting’ clothes on. The conditions of the match called for owners to drive. The event was placed last on the card. Betting in the auction pools favored Fitzsimmons, at oads of 10 to 7, and a large amount of coin was wagered on the result. As Mr. Hug, attired in an old-gold jacket and cap, appeared on the track be- hind his pretty mare he received a rouna of applause, and Mr. Faller, with the cardinal colors of La Siesta ranch on, re- ceived an equally hearty welcome. Each of the gentlemen drivers held the ribbons like veterans of the circuit, and showed himself to be pretty well up in the tactics of scoring, Starter McNair admonishing each in turn that he would fine him a bottle of wine unless they came to the wire on equal terms. Backed from twos off the boards, Charivari led throughout in the first heat, winning easily in 2:28, The books held Charivaria 1 to 5 chance | for the second beat, with as good as4 to 1 against “'Fitz.” The latter horse seemed much more snappy and full of ginger in this heat, but broke on two or three oc- casions, and through the excellent pilot- ing of her driver Charivari took the heat by a head in 2:2134. The horse showed such improved speed in this heat that he was_instailed favorite at 9 to 10, with evens offered against the mare, “Fitz" steadied down to business and heat the mure rather handily by a length in 2:213. Now a 1 to 3 shot, Fitz- simmons took the fourth heat in a drive by talf a length in 2:23, after going into the air a couple of times. The crowd said: *It’s all off with the mare,’' and many left for town. Owner Hug was still full of confidence and came out for the deciding heat with biood in his eye. Fizsimmons broke at the first turn and the mare secured an ad- vantage that he could not overcome, he finishing about four lengths in the rear at the finish. Mr. Fuller protested the heat on the ground that Mr. Hug changed his position in the stretch, but after some discussion the judzes decided to disallow the claim. Mr. Hug displayed superior generalship in the bike and was the re- cipient of an ovation at the conclusion of the race. This is the final week of the fair, and re- newed interest in the sport is bein: awak- ened, the attendance to-day being very large and the betting good. "Lottie Lilac, skillfully driven by the ¥resno reinsman, C. E. Clark, took the opening eveni, a $2000 stake for two year-olds, of which the winner received $1500, and the receit Montana find, Bill Frasier, scooped in the 2:20 pace, starting a pronounced favorite. The larger end of the 2:30 trot decidea under the heat dasi system went to Lllert, who took two heats, the 1 to 8 favorite, Laurel, again oeing on her bad behavior and being distanced.

The judges were Judge Post, . F. Fly Jr.and W. F. Smith. In the stallion class, Artillery took first prize, with second and third J.)nzeu going to Take Notice and Gilead, respectiveiy. The other stallions shown were I'rue Britain and ke L. The decision of the judges was protested by R. D. Ledgett, owner of True Briton, on the ground that both Gilead ana Take Notice were un- sound, which according to the rules of the society should prevent them from taking a premium. Take Notice is said to have a large ringbone adorning one of his legs, lns if this is the case, the judges were grievously at fault. Why this horse should be placed ahead of a stallion like True Britain, the sire among others of those two grand performers, Rey del Bandidos and Her Majesty, the latter now dead, caused wonderment and surprise among all horsemen. The biack horse was a model of beauty, showing neither spot nor blemish on his legs. Yankee Doodle took first prize in the three-year-old stallion class and Peru second. This decision caused another big howl, Owner W. M. Murry claiming the judges were prejudiced. There was evi- aently some grounds for this “kiek’ also, as Rey del Bandidos. which was entered, was a much better horse, both as an indi- vidual and a racer, than either. The balance of the stock shown was a very ordinary lot and little interest was ex- hibited in the result. On Thursday next Tommy Keating will leave with the crack three-year-old Ga- zelle (2:11}4), for Lexington, Ky., the daughter of Gossiper being one of the entries for the $5000 Transylvania stake to be decided on October 8. e Aggressive Populism.

Groom Says That He Wants to See His Way Clear Before H: Makes a Start. Fitzsimmons, Corbett, Sharkey et al. are determined that the political excitement of the present time shall not drown the interest in pugilism, that is if they can help it. Everybody who has a love for the svort of fisticuffs is aware by this time that Cor- bett and Fitzsimmons have, so to speak, retired Sharkey to the background and if the Cornishman can possibly break up the contract which Sharkey and Corbett signed in this City, he will be a decidedly bappy man, because in his_heart he 1s more sanguine of whipping James owing to the laiter’s physical condition, which is gansx:lly believed to besvery much im- paired. ¢ Sharkey is determined. however, to hold Corbett to his contract, and if the cham- pion fails to meet him within the time/ specified in the articles of ugreement the sailor pugilist will claim the alleged $5000 which was deposited in this Cily as a guarantee of good faith. Corbett is seemingly anxious to decide the mooted question of supremacy with Sharkey, and he has written and tele- graphed Managers Groom and Gibbs of the National Club to that effect. It will be rememberea that when the match was made the National Club offerea the pugilists a purse of $20,000 if the con- test was decided under its auspices at some place which the club would select when the proper time arrived. Both Corbett and Sharkey? seemed pleased with the offer, but they failed to give the club a decisive answer, and there the matter remained until very recently, when Corbett, after having signed an agreement to fight Fitzsimmons, tele- graphed the club 10 know whether its offer sti!l remained good. Managers Groom and Gibbs very wisely concluded that the signing of articles be- Bob F. and James C., took a large chunk of interest from the match arranged be- tween Gentlsman James and Sailor Tom. In speaking of the matter as it now stands, Gibbs said that if Corbett and Sharkey were satisfied to accept a purse of $10,000 for ten rounds, the club would hang up that amount and the contest could be decided in this City, but if they insisted on twenty rounds or more, the club would give a dpnru ot $20,000, pro- vided the fighters deposited $5000 each as a rantee. 3 essrs. Gibbs and Groom are very san- guine that a finish fight could not be car- ried off in this City or County, and to save themselves from sn¥l possibility of losing on the speculation they rightfully ask the pugilists to prove their sinceritv in the matter by depositing the amount stated in some bank. As Groom said: “If the National Club should go to the expense of several thou- sand doliars in arranging for a finish con- test outside of this State, and at the last moment the pugilists failed to putin an appearance, where would the National Club get off? Now we are accused of craw- fishing or backing down, or whatever you may wish to callit. but any sensible man can see at a glance that the National Club, or any other club, for that matter, would be acting the part of an idiot to incur a great expense in arranging details for a big maten unless it had a good, substantial gnarantee that the ‘talking horses’ really meant business and would toe the scratch when the time arrived for a fistic argu- ment. “The National Club is in the swim good and hard and will carry out its agreement to the letter as it has always done, but we do not propose, in the language of the butcher, to ‘buy a pig in a poke.’ “*Of course, owing to the political excite- ment which is now on, we do not intend to bother with fisticuffs until after elec- tion, when we wili appear again brighter than ever.” ——————— REAL ESTATE TRANSACOTIONS.
