Siouk 4.—4 amc Published every evening except Sundays and Legal Holidays by BROWN & CALKINS. N. P. BROWN, L. 8. CALKINS. SHOULD NOT BE HEEDED. ’ “Republicans,” remarks the Humboldt Standard, “should not be caught by the absurd charges that are being circulated by the Democrats concerning the conduct of the war, for no other purpose than to affect the Congressional campaign. The yellow Examiner now charges McKinley with being responsible for all the sicknesss and hardships of the recent campaigns because he does not compel Alger to resign before even his conduct has been investigated. This would be unjust. If the commission finds the fault with Alger it will then be high time to get him out of office. The President would havea fine time if he should ask for the resignation of every officer who is attacked by such papers as the Examiner. No man was moré roundly abused for not jumping intoa war with Spain on the start when we were not prepared for it; but the same papers that abused and bullyragged McKinley then were afterwards compelled to admit that he had shown rare wisdom and statesmanship in putting off the declaration and refusing to recognize the Cuban Republic. So it will turn out now. All we need todo is to wait for a thorough and impartial examination and the report of unprejudiced men to fix the blame for whatever shortcomings are to be found in the camps and in the field. There may have been, and most likely were, individuals in authority who-were both inefticient-and--dishonest; but the results prove, beyond question, that the general management of the war was unusually wise and good. This has been recognized by the world’s greatest experts. Aman or a public journal that would attempt to lessen the miliiary glory of this country for partisan purposes is a scoundrel whom it were base flattery to call a knave.” BRIEF MENTION.

I should of You are Bilous DO HOT FAIL TO AYER’S R WILL VOTE ay FOR GAGE. a Populist. es He Therefore Declines That Party's Nomination as District Attorney. TRuoKEE, Cal., Sept. 27, 1898. Watrter N. Monro, Esq., Secretary Peo= Party Convention, Grass Valley, al: Dear Sir—Your favor of the 5th inst. is at hand, notifying me that I have been nominated by acclamation for the office of District Attorney by the Popalist Convention, and giving assurance that I could be elected if-I will make the campaign and stand for office. My friends of the People’s Party in Nevada county have always been so loyal tome in the past that I feel it a trial to deCline to do anything which they could imagine would be a favor to them. I shall ever remember with sincere gratitude their loyalty and devotion, and shall never find it in my heart to say one word that will intentionally wound their feelings, assail the principles for which we have mutually battled, or cause them to regret the confidence they have ever manifested toward me. Nevada county has always kept in the middle of the road. It has always hoped that the People’s Party was destined to achieve a triumphant vicover the despotisms of plutocrucy. No one has been a more sanguine or radical believer.in this than I have. But I have arrived ata point where I feel taat wo have been betrayed by our leaders, ruined by—fatse friends, and placed in a position where it ‘will be impossible for us. to achieve success in State or National elections. Misled by the idea that the election -of a few men was of greater importance than the success of Populist principles, a score of bright men whom we almost worshiped as trae reformers are today ‘trying to convince Populists that the Democratic Party is the party of reform, and that our duty is to vote for Mr. Maguire for Governor. They may be right,and I may be wrong, but it would be impossible for me to believe that the Democratic Party is the party of reform, or even one of the reform parties. . I came to the Péople’s Party from the Republican ranks, and if I must ing classes, if I must admit that the Populist Party is too badly shattered
to ever become the dominant party in America, or even in California, I shall turn to the Republicans. It seems to me that all will concede that T. W. H. Shanahan catinot be elected Governor. If that is true, every Populist who votes for him gives half a vote for the Democratic nominee. Almost every person who joined our party from the ranks of the Democracy will vote the fusion ticket. The success of the fusion ticket is the death of the middle-of-the-road People’s Party. I have come to the conclasion that my daty is to vote for the Republican nominee for Governor. After making this avowal, you will readily withdraw my name from your ticket. Had I not fully made up my mind to vote for Mr. Gage, I would have attended your convention and be sorry to have my friends think that [ have stated all my reasons for voting the Republican State ticket, but I feel that I have given reason enough to warrant you in withdrawing my name, and a reason that will appeal, on election day, to many a true People’s Party man.

Leach, Superintendent of the San Francisco Mint, has received General McGlashan Is No Longer no official advices regarding the proposed shipment of 10,000,000 ounces of silver to the mint. © He says the details of the matter will undoubtedly be guarded as a secret to insure no untoward accidents. The silver will be used to meet the legal demand for the monthly coinage of $1,500,000, the bullion supply here being exhausted. “We are ready to renew silver coinage at the mint as soon as bullion shall be furnished,’ said Superintendent Leach at his home in Oakland. “While I have nothing authoritative as to the shipment as announced in the press dispatches, I have reason to anticipate it, The last Congress passed a law requiring a monthly silver coinage of $1,500,000, and the uncoined bullion in possession of the government is to be used. I presume that in compliance with that Act, thisullion is to be sent to us here, as we had practically finished coining a month ago all thesilver shipping to the San Francisco Mivt is to relieve the rush at Philadelphia. We will be able to handle about $500,$13,000,000, so you see the supply would . last us about two years,” health and. strength are given by Hood’s ; Sarsaparilla, America’s Greatest Medicine.

He-insisted that that was the Empire State. “*You ought to see how. big.
