MONDAY ..---++JAN. 8, NATIONAL CONVENTIONS. The number and manner apportioning delegates to Republican National Conventions has always been by Congressional districts, regardless of the number of votes polled in the districts, By this rule these conventions have beer made up very largely of delegates . }—_w--4. Stetson of San Francisco came from southern State districts many of them containing the merest handful of Republican votes. ‘The Mail says the combined votes of such delegates have gone far toward naming the Presidential candidate without any sort of pretense of giving the candidate a single electoral vote. The injustice of the workings of this plan has been so apparent that a strong effort was expected to be made at the last meeting of the Republican National committee to change the old system to some such plan as prevails in both political parties in California by apportioning delegates according to the number of party votes cast at the last ‘general election. But the prepysed reform never came before the committee, not because as an’ abstract proposition it was without merit, but because its adoption might appear like discrimination by the powerful Republicans of the north against the weak*‘and struggling brothers of the south. Rather than do anything to arouse sectional feeling the party leaders magnanimously chose to endure’ the old system—a generous sacrifice of party on the altar of national good feeling ; as characteristic of Republicans as it is patriotic. Yet there are Democratic papers insisting that the proposed reform was only a well aimed step toward “imperialism” just isaleo the act of the President if he buys a suit of clothes. Nothing is satisfying to such carpers but some sort of disaster.

Issue Fictitious Time Checks on the Yuba Electric Power Company. Saturday evening’s Marysville Democrat says: A brace of clever forgers, probably the same who so suecessfully operated at Keswick last month, have been working at Gridley and Biggs. The first evidence of their visit to these places was discovered this morning in this city, when two time-checks drawn on the Yuba Power Company was received by mail at the Rideout Bank for collection. The checks are forgeries from first to last: ‘The men had a batch of bank checks printed, with the war revenue stamps neatly worked into the body of the paper. At the bottom ofthe checks, are the words “printed in Si. Louis.” Both time-checks are dated January 2, 1900, and are signed “J. B. Stenson, Cashier.” One in the sum of $14.75 was cashed by W.-H. Hall of Gridley, and the other in the sum of $13.80 was cashed by Le “Point Bros. of Biggs, which firms: are-out these amounts. The fictitious parties in whose favor the checks were drawn are C. H. Morse and Frank M. Stacy. The police have reason to believe that two men are working the scheme, with probably some accomplices. A. WRETCHED COWARD Is the Being Who Writes Scurrilous Anonymous .

This good opinion stood unchallenged until the’ probating f his will. Then it was discovered that he had lefta considerable portion of his estate toa little girl of whom his family claimed to know nothing. Fora few days mystery seemed to surround the affair. Several explanations were’ offered, but they were not satisfactory. Finally it came out that this truly good and kind hearted and noble gentleman had been violating the laws of God and man, and that he was the father of the little heiress. ‘This is a very peculiar world and one never knows what a day will bring forth.

About three months ago Thomas Odgers: of Grass Valley and J. W. Clemo. of this city leased the claim owned by Hon. J. M. Walling and Ed. Muller. They commenced opening the mine and when down a distance of a little over fifty feet they encountered a four-foot ledge of fine looking rock.: It; ets seem to be very rich. This is a very important strike, and not only are the owners but the lessees are highly elated over the fine development. Odgers and Olemo have a lease on the owners a certain per centage of the gross proceeds of the crushings.

Issue Fictitious Time Checks on the Yuba Electric Power Company. Saturday evening’s Marysville Democrat says: A brace of clever forgers, probably the same who so suecessfully operated at Keswick last month, have been working at Gridley and Biggs. The first evidence of their visit to these places was discovered this morning in this city, when two time-checks drawn on the Yuba Power Company was received by mail at the Rideout Bank for collection. The checks are forgeries from first to last: ‘The men had a batch of bank checks printed, with the war revenue stamps neatly worked into the body of the paper. At the bottom ofthe checks, are the words “printed in Si. Louis.” Both time-checks are dated January 2, 1900, and are signed “J. B. Stenson, Cashier.” One in the sum of $14.75 was cashed by W.-H. Hall of Gridley, and the other in the sum of $13.80 was cashed by Le “Point Bros. of Biggs, which firms: are-out these amounts. The fictitious parties in whose favor the checks were drawn are C. H. Morse and Frank M. Stacy. The police have reason to believe that two men are working the scheme, with probably some accomplices. A. WRETCHED COWARD Is the Being Who Writes Scurrilous Anonymous .
