HIGHLAND MADE 10 CONTRIBUTE Democratic State Central Committee Levies an Assessment. Insane Asylum Employes Forced to Add to the Campaign Exchequer. THREE PER CENT OF SALARIES The San Bernardino “ Sun” Exposes a Successful Method of Coercion. SAN BERNARDINO, Carn., Oct. 19.— The Daily Sun of this city will to-morrow publish an expose of Democratic methods in the management of the Highlands asylum for the insane that will create a sensation throughout the State. It is nothing less that an assessment by the Democratic State Central Committee of 3 per cent on the annual salaries of each and every male officer and attache of the in- stitution, with cne exception. The monthly payroll is $2600, and for the year § 0. Three, per cent on this is $936, and that sum was last week as- sessed, collected and forwarded to the State Democrtic Committee. Republicans, Democrats and Populists shared alike. The assessment was | couched in diplematic terms, but con- tained a plainly implied threat thata ra- fusal to'make prompt payment would be | followed by a prompt loss of position or | place. Dr. Campbell, the medical director, is a Republican. His salary is $3500 per annum, and he paid $105. All others paid a like percentage. Harry Patton, one of the newly ap- pointed Democratic asylum directors, is understood to have had charge of the as- sessment for the Democratic State Central Committee. The one exception noted is explained by the fact that it is well understood that the head of that official will drop into the basket at an early meeting of the asylum | board, hence his escape from an assess- ment, From the opening of the asylum in 1893 | up to last month a majority of the board was composed of Republicans. No assess- ment was ever made on any official or attache of the asylum prior to| the 'advent of Governor Budd’s Demo- | cratic rustees, and an additional fact is tbat in the employment of officers, attendants and all ciasses of help the Re- publican asylum board never let the question of politics enter into its councils or selections. The only questions were | fitness and competency for the positicns. The result was that the present corps of officers and attendants is composed of Republicans, Democrats and Populists. Itis now well understood that the new | Democratic board will proceed to “weed | out” all Republicans. This will be done | as rapidly as circumstances will permit.] —_—————— HARRIS AT LOS ANGELES. Honest Money Audience Addressed by the Democratic Orator. LOS ANGELES, Car., Oct. 19.—Will A. Harris, an able lawyer and an eloquent speaker, for many years one of the fore- most advocates of the cause of the Demo- cratic party of Southern California, made a great speech at Hazard’s Pavilion here this evening. The meeting was held un- | der the auspices of the Business Men’s Sound Money Club. L. W. Blinn, an old- line Democrat, presided, and before intro- ducing the orator of the evening made a few telling rémarks explaining way he, for the first time in his life, finds it in- consistent to support the so-called candi- aate of his party, the *“Boy Orator.” Harris, on rising co speak, was given an ovation. In his preliminary remarks one De La Veaux arose to dispute some assertion relating to a challenge to Harris by the so-called Silver Republican Club of Los Angeles, when the speaker promptly called him down, designating Din hee foreign anarchist. The remarks produced considerable feeling and cries rang through the pavilion to ‘‘Put him out, put him out,” but Harns insisted that the man— anarchist though he was and bornina foreign country—should be permitted to remain. But upon further disturbance he was ejected from the hall amid much confusion. Harris gave a cheerful report of tbe meetings which he had addressed in dif- ferent parts of Southern California. The speaker said that many of these meetings in faver of McKinley and sound money had been presided over by silver-haired Democrats, two of whom had voted for Jackson. Respecting the challenge from the so-called Silver Republican Club, Har- ris said he never would pav any attention to a banter emsnating from any body of people who were ashamed to confess their identity to the world. Time and agam these gentlemen bad been asked to declare themselves and publish the names of their gxemhers, but had steaatastly refused to 0 s0. The s peaker turned his attention to the recent utterances of Governor Altgeld in New Yurk. The assaultupon the integrity of the Supreme Court of the United States | by the Illinois Governor was held up to rigicule. Passing to the money question, the speaker exhibited a silver dollar which contained the required amount of coin to be actually worth §1, the enormous size of which produced loud laughter and applause. Charles A. Barlow’s aspirations were re- ferred to, and his recent words of disre- spect toward Major McKinley were char- acterized as infamous. Barlow had said that above a picture of McKinley shouid be placed the union jack. B T 6 MARCH ON PASADENA SIREETS. Zos Angel MoKinley Club Participates in @ Demonstration. PASADENA, Car.,, Oct. 19.—The most enthusiastic meeting of the campaign here was that of to-night, on the occasion of the first visit of the McKinley Marching Club of Los Angeles, which turned out in full force as the guests of the Americus Club of Pasadens, the crack Republican club of Southern Califorma.

The buiiding waspacked to its utmost capacity, over 1500 persons being present. State Senator C. W. Simp- son presided. The speech of the evening was delivered by Hon. W. E. Arthur, chairman of the late Republican State Convention. The speaker was at his best and his eloguence and logic kept enthu- stasm at boiling point throughout his well-worded address. FoJlowing the meet- ing an adjournment was taken to the Knights of Pythias Hall, where the Los Angeles club was treated to refreshments served by a corps of the prettiest girls in town, all attractively gowned in white. — PLANS FOR “TOM REED DAY.” Thousands of Excursionists Will Invade Los Angeles.

The Fresno Orator Defends His Record on the Money Question. SELMA, CAL., Oct. 19,—Frank H. Short of Fresno spoke here to-night. Ex-Sena- tor G. G. Goucher and George E. Church, the latter the fusion candidate for Superior Judge, in recent speeches here called Mr. Short to an account of his silver record. Short to-night answered these stric- tures. He declared that the Republican party was and ever had been the con- sistent {friend of bimetallism, but had no love for silver monometallism ““Why is it,”” asked he, “that the Demo- cratic party is trying so hard to prove that it is right by the Republican record? | Has it no record of its own?” Captain Frank Barrett, a life-long Dem- ocrat, made 2 brief address, stating that, though not a Repnblican, he should vote for the only souand-money candidate who stood any chance of election, and, as the President must not be without support in the subordinate branches of the Govern- ment, he should also vote for Congress- man Bowers and for W. F.- Rowell, Re- publican eandidate tor the Assembly, who would support Senator Perkins. Captain Barrett appealed to the people to consider that just now, when things were looking brighter, when for the first time in years they were getting twice as much for their raisins, their grapes and their wheat, not to commit a suicidal act and destroy all | by the destruction of confidence.

Foreman, candi- date for the Assembly on the Democratic- Populist ticket in the Twenty-tifth Dis- trict, was chairman of the meeting. ‘W. R. Jacobs was the first speaker of the evening. He declared that the plat- forms of all the political pyrties of the country were expressly against the single gold standard, but that one_ party alone was at heart in favor of it. He called at- tention to the fact that the silver conyen- tion of a number of months ago contained among its delegates such men as Timothy Guy Phelps, MM Esteeand other promic nent Republicans, and then arraigned them for turning their backs upon the white metal.

Mr. Barnes’ argument on protection was con- vincing and his reference to the indus- tries of California was applauded. He showed how the Wilson bill has closed many of these industries and worked heavy loss to the State, and dwelt particu- larly upon Senator White's assertion that the tariff revenues under that measure for 1895 exceeded those of the McKinley bill for 1894, showing that every doliar of ex- cess represented a loss to-the American people.

Eighty Republicail Clubs From Bay ,Cities Invited to Participate. BANQUET FOR THE VISITORS. Bountiful Repast to Be Provided by Members of the Ladies’ League.- SAN JOSE, Carn., Oct. 19.—When the Santa Clara County Republican League was formed in San Jose on August6 no particular importance was attached toit, many believing that, like many others formed before, it would in a short time drop out of sight; butin a very short time it showed the people that a crowd of earnest Republicans wereat the helm, and from an insignificant beginning in two short months it has developed into the strongest political organization ever formed in the valley. From twenty-five to 800 members in that length of time is a record to be proud of. It has conducted an aggressive campaign and one that has done much to insure this county to Mc- Kinley and Hobart by at least 1200 to 1500 majority. The members of the league feel proud of their work, and as a wind-up they have enlisted the ladies, who formed a Ladies’ Republican League last Thurs- day night, and on Saturday they are going to give one of the grandest demonstrations ever held in the West. President McGraw and Grand Marshal Whitton have issued invitations to eighty clubs in San Francisco, Oakland, Ala- meda, Berkeley and Haywards, and al- ready acceptances of the invitations have been received from the most important clubs of the bay cities. The gentlemen in the city who have charge of that end— Messrs. Mark Lane and McCabe and Sena- tor T. Ford of the Fourth District Repub- lican League and Hon, Georfe P. Morrow, Colonel Brombe and Colonel Varney Gas- kill of the Republican Alliance of Oak- land—are ably conducting the part as- signed. In addition to this, President McGraw has issued inyitations to many of the prominent Republicans of the State to be guests of honor of the Santa Clara County Republican League. Arrangements have been perfected with the three lines running into San Jose to run special excursion trains, retnraing the same night. After the parade the Ladies’ Republican League, under the presidency of Mrs. J. K. Secord, will take the visitors in hand, marching them to the Golden Gate Cannery, where a bountiful repast for 3000 guests will be provided. Those who know Mrs. Secord and the able corps of ladies under her charge, and who also know of the generous hospitality of Saan Jose on all occasions, and especially oc- casions of this kind, can iet the mind read in anticipation of the luxuries that will await them at the banquet table. This will bs a gala night for San Jose, and an epoch in ser political bistory. SAN JOSE'S CHINESE WAR Highbinders Driven From the City by Order of Chief Kidward.

He read a letter from Congressman Grosvenor of Ohio offering to bet any sum from $100 to $5000 that Ohio would give 50,000 majority for McKinley, and adding that the cash would be wired to San Diego if any takers could befound. Thisstarted the ‘enthusiastic cheering, which lasted all through the meeting. Mr. Davis’ speech was one of the best aelivered in San -Diego during the cam- paign and won many votes for McKinley. He devoted his talk to the issues of pro- tection and money. = . His remarks concerning the protection of American products, labor and farm materials aroused the heartiest applause. He brought the protection question down to California, with the result that many people in the crowd had their eyes opened to its 1mportance. On the financial question Mr. Davis was witty and logical, good-natured, but cut- ting. He was occasionally interrupted, but his replies were such that before he got through with his interlocutor there was a wild outburst of applause and laugh- ter that completely drowned out oppe- sition. g STANFORD’S JOINT DEBATE.

The discussions which have been going on in the papers during the past months as to whether bicycle riding is a healthful recre- ation naturally attract wide attention, not only from bicyclists themselves, but from their vast army of friends, which includes nearly everybody. That & reaction does result from the vigor. ous, often violent exercise in whicn bicyclists indulge, there can be no doubt, but it woulq seem to rest almost entirely with the bicyclists themselves, whether this reaction shall be a healthful one or otherwise. If men or women allow their tensified mus. cles to relax too quickly it is injurious. If they permit the pores of the skin to close too suddenly it is certainly injurious, often fatal. There can be no doubt that a gentle stimu- lant, both internally and externally, meels this requirement better than any other. A small quantity of pure whiskey taken in a little water, snd & littie undiluted whiskey ruvbed externally, will counteract all possible ill effects. In this day of adulterations it is gratifying to know that so valuable an articla as Duffy’s Pure Malt can be obtained so readily and at such a reasonable price, and the numse der of bicyclists which the writer has known who are using it successfully indicates thag they have found it of unquestionable value.
