Repudiation of the White-Cator Clique That Is Trafficking in Legislative Nominations to the Disgrace of Two Parties. Los AxcELEs OFFICE OF THE CALL.} © 328 South Broadway. e Los AnGELEs, Cal., Sept. 27.) The following communcation, which has been ad!ressed to the chairman of the " Democratic State Central Committee by Alva Ude.l of this eity, will undoubtedly . create a sensation in political circles * throughou: the Stata: To the Chairman of the Democratic State Central ". Committee—SIR: The joint assembly of the Thirtieth California Legislature elected Stephen M. White to represent this State in ted States Senate. The election of Mr. grew out of a scheme, evidently of his “owi planning, by which the Democratic party of Caliiornia, for the first time in its history, te convention, nominated a caudidate e United States Senate. This honor Mr. " White secured unto himself, and, until he had received the nomination, his allegiance to the Democratic party had never been ques- tioned. In’the year 1879 his father, a life- long Democraf, belted a Corrupt management of the Democracy and was nominated for - Governor of the State by the Workingmen, ' who constituted the rank and file of the Demogratic party. The sagacious son, however. refused to eountenance his sire’s ambition, and the senior White was defeated, and passed into his grave a disheartened and repudisted moli- tician. “Our Steve” turned his‘daddy” down, and by remaining in the camp of the corrupt bosses, in effect branded his father as a polit- ical charlatan. In that memorable campaign Hon. J. J. Ayers, now of Los Angeles, was nominated on the same ticket with the elder White, but Stephen, the son, aiffered, and be- came chairman of the machine convention that named Wallace Leach, then of San Diego, as the proper Democratic Congressiomal nominee to oppose the ticket headed py W. F. White and J. J. Ayers. The son, thus pitted against his father, was able to hold the Democratic party in his polit- ical-talons until he forced his Senztorial nomi- nation in 1892. Then, to gratify his own ambi- tion, one of the most disgraceful campaigns that the people of Californis have everen- dired was conceived in iniquity and carried to its logical results. The most corrupt and notorious combinations were made. Demo- cratic nominations of candidates for the State Legisiature were held to be the property of Stephen M. White and notoriously traded to &n antagonistic organization for votes in the joint assembly to advance him to the United States Senate. In this Congressional district the Democratic nomination for Congress was deliberately bartered to the Populist canaidate for his influence as & leader to see that the contracts were fuifilled and that the Populists elected to the Legislature would stay bought. These infamous transactions culminated in the joint assembly on January 18, 1893, when certain Populists, to escape the contracts they had corruptly made, openly charged bribery and corruption, and the record thereof is “notoriously spread on the journal of the joint assembly. In view of these things the fact becomes too serious to deny that the late Democratic party of this State belongs to White. It is clearly his property, and as the owner and the chattel cannot be merged in the same person it is ab- surd to deny that the owner belongs to the perty which he uses as a chattel to purchase his own political elevation. Does White be- long to the Democratic party or does the late Democratic party belong to White? This question the lifelong and deserving Democrat will seriously consider when he refliects on the situation and reelizes that his own polit- ical identity as & sovereign citizen is lostin the possessions bgrtered and exchanged in these pernicious transactions. It was charitable indeed for the Democracy to silently suffer their principles and their citizenship to be exchanged like chattess, as they covertly were in the campaign of 1893. But to submit to & notorious repetition of the offense is taxing the enduring patience of every free-born citizen who cherishes a Demo- “eratic principle. / The Sengtorial and Congressional matters sre again anolved in the present campaign. The State Senators and Assembiymen to be elected will choose a successor to George C. Perkins, and the Senators will vote for a suc- @essor to Senator White The late Populist . Btate Convention committed the same error that the Democracy did iour years ago by nominating a candidate for United States Sen- ator. The honor, if honor it may be called, was conferred upon one Thomas V. Cator and now he and Mr. White are attempting to con- summate a notorious deal to elect each other to the United States Senate. Both practically own what they claim to be the Populist and Democratic parties respectively, and both are driving trades at a rate that would make the Wall-street Jew turn pale with eavy. Fusion candidates for the Legislature have been programmed in such manner as would best suit tne interests ot Cator and White, and the Democratic nomination for (ongress in this district has been given to a socialistic protege of T. V. Cator. In these respects the trades made in 1892 and 1896 are identical, except that in the present case there are two beneficiaries interested in the Benatorial in- .trigues. These things naturally bring us up “to the question: Is either of the political or- ganizations they own the Democratic party? If not, are both combined the Democratic party? If neither severally nor jointly they constitute the Democratic party, are sincere Democrats bound to suffer in tame submission 10 the unserupulous designs ot the socialistic vendors? A very large and respectable number of life- leng Demoarats believe that the dangerous doctrines of communism and anarchy are be- ing indorsed and engrafted upon the body politic through these fusion schemes urged by office-seeking politicians, who have thereby betrayed and betrothed the Democracy to the secret allies of foreign socialism. The schem- ers who urge and support these corrupt com- binations seem to view the nomination of William J. Bryan, not as a triumph of Demo- cratic principles, but as a compromise with communism, and & means by which they might obtdin office and advancement through con- federation with men urging doctrines antag- onistic to the principies of Democracy. Their venality and covetous ambition have deprived the Democracy of Los Angeles County and other parts of the State of & party organization. Two factions of socialisis have here united, put forth the same candidates and under the direction of Cator and White one taction has usurped and dishonored the name of Lemoc- racy. Meanwhile the Democracy of this county has no organization that adheres to Democratic principles, Therefore, it is mani- fest that Stephen M. White is no longer a Democrat, but the leader of a faction of men who pander to the dangerous failacies of for- eign socialism, while veracious history proves that his faction is nothing more than his per- sonal chattels, to be traded to T; V. Cator and nisfaction_ for public pesitions {0 be fillea by Cator and White and their favorite henchmen. These considerations have urged the pro- visional committee for reorganization of the Los Angeles Democracy to resolve that the State committee, of which you are chairman, be respecttuliy requesied, by appropriate action, to call for the resignation of Stephen M. White as United States Senator, to the end that a Democratic Governor may appoint a worthy Democrat to fill the vacancy thereby created. We were among the pio.‘eers in the advocacy of free coinage of silver, and our adherence to the ceuse is as firm and patriotic as the fidelity of any man can be when tested by an unalterable loyality to the candidacy of William J. Bryan. But we will not abandon Democratic principles to gratify the ambition of Senator White, or of any other man or set of men.

Attack the Infant in Its Crib and Gnaw It so Badly That Death Soon Ensues. BALTIMORE, Mp,, Sept. 27.—Three big rats attacked the two-montns’-old baby of Mr. and Mre. Isaac Asher of 1150 Low street last night and gnawed its face, head and neck to such an extent that the infant died 1n a short time. Mr. Asher lives over his store. He was looking after his business and Mrs. Asher had gone to market xhen the rats started to make a meal off the helpless infant which was snugly tucked in its crib in the second story. Hearing the baby crying, the father hurried upstairs and, as he en- tered the room in which the infant was lying, three large, vicious-looking rats jumpen out of the crib and scampered off. The norriftied father found that the flesh had been torn from the baby’s tender face, head and neck. Before a physician counld be summoned the baby died. —_— A4 MARTYR 70 LABOR’'S CAUSE. Imposing Funeral and Sensational Inci- dent at Cleveland. CLEVELAND, Omro, Sept. 27. — This evening the body of Thomas Evans, the striker who was fatally shot on August 14 by non-union men during the recent labor troubles here, was buried in Wood- lawn Cemetery. Hedied last Thursday. It rained all day, but despite the weather over 5000 trades uniomists marched in line to the North Presbyterian Church, where the funeral services were held, and after- ward accompanied the body to the grave. There were five bands in the procession, playing continuous dirges. Along the line thousands of people collected and viewed the funeral cortege with uncov- ered heads. Justasthe line swung into Woodland; avenue a motorman tried to run his car through., The incensed crowd tore him from the car, broke the trolley and threatened to mob the conductor.

LOUIS, Mo., Sent. 27.—A special from the City of Mexico says a stir was created yvesterday in official circles when it was announced that General Saturnin Islas, head of the Federal telegrapn lines, has been removed from office. It came suddenly and unannounced, and other heads of departments sit uneasily now, not knowing when the ax will fall in their respective domains. General Islas arrived here Friday morning from Budapest, whither he had been sent by the Mexican Government as a representative to the telegraph congress, and was succeeded | yestérday by Augustin Cnavez as chief of the department. Everything pertaining to the Federal telegraph was turned over to him. DEATH IN Swsngtith. T A TORRENT. Four Lives Lost by Saturday's Cloud- burst in Texas—Residents Res- cued From Treetops. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Sept. 27.—Re- ports received to-day from San Marcos, ‘which was swept by a cloudburst yester- day, indicate the propbable loss of four lives. The house in which these people lived was completely wrecked, and no trace of their bodies has been found. A portion of the town is yet covered with from five to twenty feet of water. All business is suspended, and the work of re- lief progresses slowly, because the town is divided by a raging torrent and traffic is stopped in the flooded district. Many people, including whole families, were rescued from treetops to-day by men in boats. Had the storm occurred at night the loss of life would have been ap- palling. The mountain of water seemed to have been unloosed in the twinkling of an evye. It swept away railroad embankments, bridges, buildings and fences, and, pour- ing the mighty volume into the river course, caused the stream to rise with a rapidity which threatened to destroy the entire city. For a distance of nearly three-quarters of a mile the International and Great Northern road track was washed out, rails and ties being swept for a great distance away from their original location. The Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad also suffered tie loss of a long streten of track, and both roads lost several houses and a large quantity of material along the line. The damage sustained by the Interna- tional and Great Northern Railway is es- timated at $10,000, while the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad has sustained an equally heavy loss, and the loss to the city and citizens will reach the same figure, making the total damage $30,000. i SUFFERING IN LIBERIA. Returned Colonists Tell of Want, Hunger and Festilential Ravages in the African Republic. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 27. — Among the passengers whom the steamship Waes- land, from Liverpool, landed here to-day, were six colored people who were over- joved at finding themselves again in the United States. They were Taylpr Smith of Forest City, Ark., his wife and two children and two friends, and they all had sad stories to tell of the want, misery and hunger suf- fered by the negro southern colonists who sailed from Savannah in the Laurada last March to try their fortunes in the black republic of Liberia. From the day they landed at Monrovia, Smith said, until their departure they were unabie to get an hour's work of any kind. Twenty-five acres of ground was given them by the Liberian Government, bavthere were no houses to sh:lter them | or their families, Soon after their arrival the rainy' season began, and with it came a deathly malar- ial fever called by the natives ‘“John Bull fever,”” whicn carried away forty of the newcomers, among whom wuas one of Smith’s children. The disease was still doing its deadly work when he left for the United States. Smith states that nearly every one of the persons taken to Liberis from Savannah was sfflicted with illness and many of them died. When Smith left, an old friend, half naked and erippled by dis- ease, hobbledout into the surf to bid him what they all felt would be a last farewell. President Chieseman of Liberia and the missionaries did all they could for the un- fortunates, but the returned colonist says that, like cverybody else, they had very little money, and there was no money or work for them. ST DROWNED IN BOSTON HARBOR. Zhe Bodies of Five Victims of @ Xacht Disaster Recovered. BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 27.—Two bodies, supposed to be those of victims of a yacht disaster, were found in Long Island in Boston harbor to-day. A party of men went fishing on the Hebe a week ago. The yacht was found later, but none of the oc- cupants have been heard of since. Later in the day three more bodies were found, one on Gallup Island and two others float- ing in the sound. The five were brought to the morgue in this city, where four were identified as those of the three Burk: brothers, Mi- chael, Martin and John, and Henry Don- nelly. Martin and John Burke and Don- nelly were employed by the West End street-railway company. Martin Burke was 23 years old and leaves a widow and child. —_——— HOLDS UP A P AX-TRAIN.

SINKS TO RISE NO MORE. His Wife and Son Dying From Inju- ries Inflicted in Drunken Rage. CLEVELAND, Osro,'Sept. 27.—Just be- fore dark to-night Edward Wald, a ship carpenter, residing at 53 Mulberry street, narrowly escaped lyvnching at the hands of an infuriated mob of West Side citizens, only to lose.his life in the Cuyahoza River, into which he plunged to escape pursuers, ‘Wald came home under the influence of liquor, quarrelled with his wife and finally struck her. Their 14-year-old son, Ed- ward, seized his father's arm and asked him to quit, whereupon the brute became enraged and threw the boy down the stairway leading to the street, a distance of twenty feet. The little fellow screamed for help and rolled out of the open door- way into the street writhing and frothing at the mouth. Dr. C. A. Turner was summoned to at- tend the boy and a crowd quickly col- lected to revenge the brutal outrage. Rev. John McHale, a Catholic priest, was hastened to the scene and administered the last rites of the church to the dying boy. Meanwhile the crowd increased w0 & mob, which was goaded into a fury by the sight of the helpless child struggling in convulsions on the pavement until the clamor for revenge swelled into an omin- ous roar. An impromptu delegation of forty forced its way into the house to drag out tne inhuman father and others were dispatched for a rope. ‘Wald had locked himself in a bedroom. The door was broken open and he was dragged into the street, fighting desper- ately. The police arrived before the rope appeared. The mob gave battle to the po- lice, determined not to allow Wald to es- cape them. During the scrimmage the prisoner broke loose from those who were holding him and ran down an alley to- ward the river. The mob was close at his heels and when the fugitive reached the river, knowing that his chance for life was farless than even if captured, plunged into the cold, muady water of the Cuya- hoga and was drowned. His body has not been recovered. The boy will die and the wife's injuries |’ may also prove fatal TURKISH PRISONERS MUTINY.

HARD WORK SUITS MAJOR McKINLEY Strong and Confident After a Very Laborious Week. IN EXCELLENT SPIRITS. Short, Crisp Talks Will Take the Place of Exhaustive Arguments, PROGRAMME FOR THIS WEEK, Every Day There Will B2 a Reception of Delegations, Many From Long Distances. CANTON O=ro, Sept. 27.—Major Mec- Kinley was not in the least fatigued by his week of hard work, which he closed with eleven speeches yesterday. He isin excelient spirits to-day and says he hag not felt better at any time during the campaign. He remained at home during the morning and spent.the afternoon at his sister-in-law’s, Mrs. Barber, whera he and Mrs. McKinley dined. Major McKinley expects a week of arduous work, but he will not have as many delegations as he had to receive last week. Probably the most exacting six. days of the campaign will be next week, when there are a large number of big .’ delegations coming from long distances to call on the Republican candidate. Major ~— | McKinley seems to thrive on hard work, LEADVILLE'S BIG STRIKE 1S ENDED Miners Meet and Agree to Accept the Old Scale of Prices. TWO MONTHS OF TERROR Resulting in the Union’s Failure and the Killing of Five of Its Men. A SCRAMBLE FOR OLD PLACES. Strikers Will Be Taken Back Where Discharge of N w Men Is Not Necessitated. LEADVILLE, Coro., Bept. 27.—The great miners’ strike, which haskept Lead- ville in a turmoil for nearly two months and which resulted in the killing of five men last Monday, and the subsequent placing of the city under martial law, is ended. A meeting of the strikers was held last night under the supervision of the militia, and after a stormy session it was finally decided that the men return to work at the old schedule prices, provid- ing that the mine owners wonld agree to give them their old places. A committee of ive was appointed to coafer with the mine owners, and it is generally believed that outside of the one or two mines that have started up with non-union men, the old men will be taken back. The strike was the outcome of the or- ganization of the miners by the Western Federation of Miners, and as every miner Wwas a union man their demands were re- fused. The miners asked $3a ¢ay for all classes of workmen, including surface and underground men. This the owners de- ciared they would not pay and nearly all of them closed down, several even allow- ing the pumps to stop. The employers re- mained willing to continue paying the wages which had prevailed up to that time. Under this scale surface workers were paid only $250. Practically the only change the union demanded was the ad- vance of these men to §$3. e AL ALMOST ANOTHER PANIO. Firing of @ Few Shots Causes Wild and Unfounded Kumors. LEADVILLE, Coro., Sept. 27.—At 10 o'clock to-night a report came into town that the guard at the water works res- ervoir was being attacked by an armed force of miners. A few moments later the report was followed by a rumor that another party was making an assault upon the Bohn shaft, which is also under strong military guard. Trouble was an- ticipated by the militia to-night and every precaution had been made in advance to meet and repel all attacks. Upon a prompt investigation it was learned that a tew shots had been fired in the vicinity of the water works, but no one was hurt and no attack upon the party discovered. The mines un:e‘; guard re- port by telephone to-night that every- thing is quiet. SURVEXYING CUKPS ROBBED. Kelieved of Cash ana Checks by Seven Unmasked Highwaymen. PARIS, Tex., Sept. 27.—A. T.

They ¢id| Hood’s Pills and it cannot be seen that the campaign has in any way impaired his health or - robbed him of his strength. It is his purpose to make his speeches considerably shorter as delegations increase in number, and this new plan was resorted to yestere day, when he made eleven speeches. S Major McKinley feels that the campaign of education has been comprehensive and thorough on the part of the Republicans, that the arguments are in the main all in and that short crisp talks to the people who come to see him will be effective and sasisfactory at this stage of the came paign. Tuesday and Saturday will be ine teresting days this week. On Tuesday a visit from a large Woman’s McKin- ley Club of Cincinnati is expected and on Saturday toe Wheeimen's McKinley and Hobart- Clubs are expected in Canton. It is believed that there will be between 8000 and 10,000 wheelmen in the parade* on BSaturday. A large delegaticn of wheelmen is coming from Chicago and intermediate poiunts and many are exe pected from Pittsburg and the East. There are six delegations booked for Saturday, but that number will probably be doubled before the end of the week, Delegations are scheduled as late as Octo- ber 22, and it is likely they will continne to come until the first day of November, It is proposed by some of the local leaders to have a big rally here about the middle of October and to have a number of strong speakers present.
