FRIDAY “PATRIOTISM, PROTECTION, PROSPERITY.” REPUBLICAN TICKET. FOR PRESIDENT, IAM McKINLEY OF ®HIO. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, GARRET A. HOBART O¥ NEW JERSEY. THE COUNTY CONVENTION. The Republicans of this courity will in all probability hold their county convention at Nevada City on the 12th of September. The primaries to elect delegates to said convention will be held throughout the county somewhere around the 6th of September. We copy the above from the Truckee Republican. No action will be taken about calling the county convention until after the Supreme Court decides whether the present officers hold for two or four years. The decision is expected the last of this month. In the event that the decision is in favor of two years, then the convention will not be called until about the first of October, in order to give the several hundred candidates a chance: to do their field work. In any event the tonvention will not be called as early as-predicted by the Republican. Another Say About It. The following explanation of 16 to 1 by Sailer & Stevenson, of Philadelphia, is right: “It means that sixteen ounces ‘of silver should be held for debt-paying purposes to be worth as much as one. ounce of gold. Qné ounce of standard gold will coin in gold dollars $18 60. Sixteen ounces of standard silver will coin $18 60 in silver dollars. These sixteen ounces of silver can be bought in the markets of the world today for $9 94. There would, therefore, be a profit oi $8 66 on an investment of '$9 94, being about 87 per cent., ifa holder of silver could take it to the mint and eoin it without charge into silver dollars. The advocates of free Coinage: favor a law that will allow any holder of.silver bullion—or, in fact, silver of any kind (as the latter can readily be melted into bars)—the right to take the same to any mint of the United States and convert ' it into silver coin free of charge, and force 53 cents worth of it upon his creditors as a dollar.’ Hunting For the Assassin. Sheriff Getchell is still endeavoring _ to trace up and secure the arrest of the murderer of the late Sheriff Douglass. He has lately made two or three trips to different places, going once to Downieville.Officers and detectives all over the State are kept posted as to any developments that are made in the case. Some days ago a man at. Brown’s Valley who: had been drinking made “the assertion that the slayer of DougjJass was in that place. During the past week detectives have visited that camp in search of the man, but have failed to find him. They have not yet given up the search; however. A Great Political Change. + Two weeks ago the Democrats predicted that Nevada county would give their little God a thousand majority. They are beginning to change their minds on the proposition about this time, and admit that McKinley will be strong in Nevada City. . Before this campaign is over the Democracy will be forced to admit that they are not in it in any part of Nevada county. Well, they can fall back on South Carolina, Be ‘ Accident ou the Road. J. P. Oqnway, the cigar maker, accom-panied by his wife and children, were going to Grass Valley yesterday and had reached the Noell ranch when another team ran. into their buggy.: Conway's team became frightened and the buggy. were thrown out but escaped with slight bruises. The buggy was badly damaged. panes ana eX Telegraph Rates Reduced.

San Franoisco, Aug. 21.—Maj. Gen. Miles of the U. S. Army is coming -west to make an inspection of the military posts and determine which ones to abandon. Not Well Founded, Wasnineton, Aug. 21.—The treasury officials here say there is nothing in the story that the Argentine Republic seeks to abandon the use of paper: currency and resume specie payment, and to that end is negotiating with a. syndicate of worth of Argentine Republic bonds bearing four per cent. interest payable in gold for $150,000,000 in silver, He Was Poisoned. Lincon, (Neb.), August 20.—The coroner’s jury investigating the Eyster murder case, found that the deceased came to bis death as a result of poison administered by Cliff Hagey, for the purpose of robbery, and that Laura and Maud Clarke, who madea confession last night to Cqunty Attorney Wood, were accessories. : Made a Good Haul, Spokane, Wash. August 20.—Geo. B. Cauley, Secretary, of the Cariboo Mining Company, while returning from Camp McKinney, British Columbia,. with nearly $11,000 worth of gold bullion, was held up .and robbed by a masked man. McCauley tells his story as follows: Tuesday morning I started from the Carriboo mine in a buggy with three gold bricks weighing 65644 ounces. About two and a half miles from the mine I heard a_ voice saying, ‘Give us your money.’ I looked up and saw a masked man. He was pointinga short barrelled carbine at me. He told me to hold up my hands. He then said to me, ‘Throw out the money.’ I got out of the buggy and went to the back part and took out the saddle bags which contained the bricks. He ordered me to throw them . asked*me if I had any: money. I replied that I had a few dollars. He again said savagely, ‘Throw it out.’ In my right hand pants pocket I had a $5 bill, $1 in silver and a little small change. I turned the pockets inside out and threw the contents on the bank. Then I returned to the buggy and he ordered me to drive in front of him. Itmrned my head around to see what he was doing. He dropped the saddle bags and pointed the rifle at me, and told me to drive on and not look back. That was the last I saw of him.” ; PLAYING THEM FOR SUCKERS The Populist Candidate To Be Ignored Entirely. WasuHineton, Aug. 19.—Unless the wishes of Chairman Butler and the members of the Executive Committee are set aside, Watson, the Populist candidate for the Vice-Presidency, will not. be officially notified of his nomination for that place. Chairman Butler last night while declining to make any specific statements on the subject, said that the failure to notify would not be unusual, for the reason that the Populists had never yet notified their candidates. On reading the above dispatch a leading Nevada county Populist said : “We could expect no better treatment from the Democratic party. .All they. want of us 1s our votes for Bryan and if I mistake not the temper of thousands of true Populists ‘through the ‘county McKinley ‘will be. the winner by the cowardly course of the Democracy.” The Republicans in this section deeply regret. to learn that there is an unpleasantness between the two es that will go down to oblivion, or somewhere else, on the 4th of November. anes Woodland Creame Butter, the best in the market, can be had of Phil.

Upwards of ‘fifty persons called at the TRaNsorier editorial rooms today for that kind of documents. that is being taken in the coming election: ' THEY FEAR M'KINLEY, The European Factories Are Now Ranning Night and Day. “European manufacturers fear M * Kinley and protection,” said RB. J. ™ chan, the San Francisco restaurateur, who has just returned from an _ extensive tour of the continent, “but they are preparing for his election and the adoption of a high protective tariff. They, are running their factories day and night, turning out articles for export, and as soon as McKinley’s election is announced they will be shipped in immense quantites as rapidly as possible, in order to get them in before a high tariff law goes into effect. I spent a great deal of time in Copenhagen, Carlsbad, Ostend, Nuremburg, Brussels, Dresden, Berlin and Stockholm, and I found the-same conditions prevailing everywhere. In Gerniany and Belgium particularly, where I traveled a great deal at night, I saw miles of factories running all night by electric lights, and to their full capacity. I inquired «in every place as to the cause of the unusual activity, and was told that it was America. On an English railway train I found myself in a compartment with five other persons, and four of them were the agents of American importers on their way to Germany to buy goods for this year, and next as well, in anticipation of tariff legislation by the next Congress. All classes in Europe, from the laborer to the manufacturer, are discussing the tariff question, and all fear the results of a McKinley victory. The financial question is barely mentioned there, and whet’ questioned concerning the effect of free coinage Europeans simply shrug their shoul-. ders and say, “That will hurt America alone, but a high .tariff will hurt us.” ‘.

ST...5.GraiieValley OILING THE SEA. ‘The Wonderful Effect on Enormous Waves. A Carious Sight. One of the most curious sights at sea is that of an oil bound ship. Every up to date ship carries oil tanks, the quantity varying with the size of the vessel. For instance, a steamer of 150 tons barden carries on an average 60 gallons of oil. This oil is the refuse discarded by the oil refining factories and often consists of a mixture of whalé oil, petroleum and’ vegetable oil. It cests about twopence a gallon, and a large sized. vessel can be well supplied for 20 shillings, Mercere, The oil is stowed in «pacious zinc tanks, arranged in the hold of the ship to act as ballast. Each tank contains 60 gallons of oil, and an ingenious mechanical tap arrangement connects the tank with the outside of the vessel. If a dangerous gale arises and the ship becomes unmanageable and likely to founder, the sluices are opened, and 20 gallons or-more of the oil is allowed to escape into the sea.

The ship must slacken speed ‘a little, and .more oil ‘is let out from the tanks. Enormous waves may bear down on the ship, but on approaching the magic oiled circle they seem to melt away and pass harmlessly beneath the vessel.

WasuHineton, Aug. 19.—Unless the wishes of Chairman Butler and the members of the Executive Committee are set aside, Watson, the Populist candidate for the Vice-Presidency, will not. be officially notified of his nomination for that place. Chairman Butler last night while declining to make any specific statements on the subject, said that the failure to notify would not be unusual, for the reason that the Populists had never yet notified their candidates. On reading the above dispatch a leading Nevada county Populist said : “We could expect no better treatment from the Democratic party. .All they. want of us 1s our votes for Bryan and if I mistake not the temper of thousands of true Populists ‘through the ‘county McKinley ‘will be. the winner by the cowardly course of the Democracy.” The Republicans in this section deeply regret. to learn that there is an unpleasantness between the two es that will go down to oblivion, or somewhere else, on the 4th of November. anes Woodland Creame Butter, the best in the market, can be had of Phil.

J. ™ chan, the San Francisco restaurateur, who has just returned from an _ extensive tour of the continent, “but they are preparing for his election and the adoption of a high protective tariff. They, are running their factories day and night, turning out articles for export, and as soon as McKinley’s election is announced they will be shipped in immense quantites as rapidly as possible, in order to get them in before a high tariff law goes into effect. I spent a great deal of time in Copenhagen, Carlsbad, Ostend, Nuremburg, Brussels, Dresden, Berlin and Stockholm, and I found the-same conditions prevailing everywhere. In Gerniany and Belgium particularly, where I traveled a great deal at night, I saw miles of factories running all night by electric lights, and to their full capacity. I inquired «in every place as to the cause of the unusual activity, and was told that it was America. On an English railway train I found myself in a compartment with five other persons, and four of them were the agents of American importers on their way to Germany to buy goods for this year, and next as well, in anticipation of tariff legislation by the next Congress. All classes in Europe, from the laborer to the manufacturer, are discussing the tariff question, and all fear the results of a McKinley victory. The financial question is barely mentioned there, and whet’ questioned concerning the effect of free coinage Europeans simply shrug their shoul-. ders and say, “That will hurt America alone, but a high .tariff will hurt us.” ‘.

ST.....5..GraiieValley OILING THE SEA. ‘The Wonderful Effect on Enormous Waves. A Carious Sight. One of the most curious sights at sea is that of an oil bound ship. Every up to date ship carries oil tanks, the quantity varying with the size of the vessel. For instance, a steamer of 150 tons barden carries on an average 60 gallons of oil. This oil is the refuse discarded by the oil refining factories and often consists of a mixture of whalé oil, petroleum and’ vegetable oil. It cests about twopence a gallon, and a large sized. vessel can be well supplied for 20 shillings, Mercere, The oil is stowed in «pacious zinc tanks, arranged in the hold of the ship to act as ballast. Each tank contains 60 gallons of oil, and an ingenious mechanical tap arrangement connects the tank with the outside of the vessel. If a dangerous gale arises and the ship becomes unmanageable and likely to founder, the sluices are opened, and 20 gallons or-more of the oil is allowed to escape into the sea.

There is no further danger of foundering, and the oil moves along with the vésscl for some time, often half an hour, after which it breaks up and disperses. The ship must slacken speed ‘a little, and .more oil ‘is let out from the tanks. Enormous waves may bear down on the ship, but on approaching the magic oiled circle they seem to melt away and pass harmlessly beneath the vessel.
