He said: “We have during the past~ two. years expended $700,000 on territorial extension outside of cities and towns. Between this city and San Jose we have fourteen pairs of wires. We have two complete loops to Los Angeles and four loops from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles. The greater the distance is the heavier the copper wire must be, With copper wire of sufficient weight and San Francisco could be maintained. It is now conducted directly between Portland, Me., and Minneapolis, a distonce of 1500 or 1600 miles.” The wire used between San Francisco and Los Angeles weighs 520 pounds to the mile. The poles, placed fifty to the mile, cost about $20 each. The Wire is worth 1614 cents a pound. The cost ofsetting -the poles, etc, brings up the total cost. of sonsteno: . tion per mile to $1500. The life of a $20! pole is from ten to twelve years. An Inconsistent Part. Sani Jose Mercury: The Democratic party in this State presents the queer anomaly of having selected a sound money State Committee to conduct a campaign for free silver. Under the circumstances, the sincerity of the party in its avowals of loyalty to the cause: of free silver is much to be doubted. What would be thought, for example, of a party which professes to believe in protection should it select as its managers men who are notoriously advocates of free trade? It.is not surprising that a prominent silver_organ like the Stockton “Mail” should declare that the silver party men—meaning thereby the silver element of the Democratic party—are suspicious of the personnel of the Democratic State Committee. : : Gone Below. W.F. Prisk, a member of the Democratic State Central Committee, left for San Francisco last night in response to a call of the general committee. The Populists, Democrats and Silver men have agreed to fuse, giving the Democrats five electors for Bryan! and Sewall, and the Populists four ton Bryan and Watson.
