o THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1895. ductor Burt were discovered. They, too, were taken to the morgue. Earlier in the morning were found the bodiesof Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Greiner clasped in fond embrace amid tons of splintered timbers and badly bent gas pipes. They had undoubtedly died from suffocation, as their features were perfectly clear, and their limbs in natural repose. The left arm of Mr. Greiner was thrown across his swife’s face, and his forefinger raised as though forewarning danger. The firemen first uncovered their heads, and it was half an hour later before the entire bodies were exhumegd. Excitement in the city to-nightisat a high pitch. Throngs of people crowd police headquarters, the morgue and hotels to search for missing friends. Many stretched ropes encircling the scene of the accident fa1l to keep back excited friends of missing people and thousands of curious bystanders. Police from all over the city . are stationed at the scene, and mere idlers are rapidly transported to police head- quarters if they fail to obey orders to vacate. There is much conjecture to-night concerning the cause of the accident, but Coroner Martin is now firmly convinced that the accident was caused as stated. The hastily organized surgeon corp under Police Surgeon Jarecki did noble work. With fifty feet of flimsy walls tottering over their heads, they wended their w early in the accident along corridors, down stairways, past shaky partitions, to aid the injured. Medicine was passed from one to another along a line, and while Letson was being rescued his head was swathed in damp bandages and stimulants admin- istered in a tender manner. Chief of Police Goulding did a noble thing by joining the line, and gave valuable assistance. Every policeman was ordered to at once forget Lis inconveniences and aid the injured. ‘About 6 o'clock this evening a severe windstorm from the northwest arose and work was extremely precarious with shaky walls towering hundreds of feet in the air. To add to the confusion and chaos rain began falling in torrents, and what few workers were not drenched by streams from the fire-engines were incommoded by the cold rain. About8 o'clock this even- ing the rain had ceased falling, but clouds of stifling smoke continued to unfold from the charred mass of ruins and more en- gines were called. Their services were not needed, as the wind died away and control of the the terribe accident was assured the firemen. The young man in charge of the boiler at the time of the accident was a thoroughly irresponsible boy, 17 years old. He had attended a joyous picnic during the day, and was under the mfluence of liquor when he went on duty,as several reiiable per- sons have testified. How heever managed to turn the iniector-cock and escape with- out the slightest injury, as he has certainly done, is 3 mystery. The boilers are said to have been in excellent shape just prior to the explosion, and nothiig save gross negligence could have caused the accident. The terrible destruction wrought by the explosion is in evidence everywhere within three blocks of the scene, Eating- houses nearby, neighboring hotels, stores, all have demolished fronts or damaged windows. Along Marimer street, in the rear of the building, there is not a whole plate-glass window for a block, and Law- rence street in the front shows similar signs of demolition. To estimate the dam- age is very difficult, especially as no in- surance papers are available, they having all been lost in the fire, but the loss will not exceed $75,000. The Gumry was worth abeut $20,000 ana furnished with about $10,000 worth of goods. Everything is a total wreck. The building was a five-story one, erected in 1858 by Mr. Gumry. The McMann block, which adjoins the Gumry on the west, was also hea imaged. 1t is owned by Colorel Bishop and was built in 1890. It was occupied as a furniture-store by the A. Lillyblade Furniture Cowspany and was damaged $25,000. The Clayton block, directly across Lawrence street, was damaged about $1,500. The boilerhead which wrought such ter- rible aestruction in its path, after smash- ing through the rear wall, crossed a ten- foot alley at lightning speed and crashed into a brick barn with sufliciext force to entirely destroy it. Late to-night telegrams are pouring in at police headquarters from New York, San Francisco, Chicago and other points, inquiring about people regis- tered at hotels in Denver. Ex-Governor Routt made a remarkable statement this morning to a United Press reporter: “In my opinion the explosion was caused by dynamite instead of the boiler, and I think it was done to kill Mr. Gumry. You know he is superintendent of construction at the Capitol building and lately dis- charged a number of men. These men have been heard to threaten the life of Mr. Gumry, and I believe they have accom- plished theirthreat. Idon’tthink a boiler explosion would have wrecked the building in the manner it did.” Whiie ex-Governor Routt is eorrect in his statement in regard to the discharge of the men, he is unquestionably mistaken in his surmises. ONE SIDE COLLAPSED. AMinor Disaster Occurred at the Wrecked Building. DENVER, Coro.,, Aug. 19.—About 10 o’clock to-night the left side of the build- ing collapsed through the weakening by a continual stream of water being played upon it, and E. P. Gilchrist, J. E. Troy and Louis A. Maguire, firemen, were suffo- cated by smoke and dust. They were re- moved to the county hospital, where it was found none were seriously injured. Judge James Glynn, who was at first supposed to have been in his room at the hotel, turns out to be at Holyoke, Colo., where he was spending Sunday with friends. A suit of clothes was found in the ruins of the hotel, in the pockets of which were & 1000-mile railroad book bearing the name of A. Stockey and a letter addressed to Miss Hattie Layton, Belvidere, Il J. E. Calkins, wife and baby, who were thought for a time to have been victims of the casuality, have been located in the Highlands. = Mr. Calkins is a newspaper man from Davenport, Iowa. They regist- tered at the Gumry on their arrival here, but later went to stay with friends. At midnight three more bodies were found, those of William Lorah and Fred- erick French, of Central City, Colo., and an unknown. The former have been iden- tified by Mr. Lorah’s father, who is as- sisting "in removing the debris from the bodies. The third body is burned beyond recognition. Italians Held for Trial. PRINCETON, IuL., Aug. 19.—Twenty- five of the twenty-nine Spring Valley Italians arrested for participating in the mob that drove the colored people from their homes in Spring Valley were to-day bound over to await the action of the Grand Jury, and of this number all but $wo were committed to jail. o et Fell to His Death. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 19.—Hon. Alex- ander C. Sherwood, a member of the State Central Committee and Assistant State Auditor, at Jefferson City, Mo., while de- scending the stairway at the J’ockey Club last night, lost his balance and, toppling over the railing, fell from the thi to the lnu‘u";gfiennth and was killed, OPENED N KENTUCKY, Promise of a Red Hot Campaign in That State. DEBATE OF ADVERSARIES General Hardin and Colonel Bradley Use Sarcastic Language. OLD PARTY MEN ENLIGHTENED. Both Republicans and Democrats Turn Out to Greet Nominees for Governor. LOUISVILLE, Krv., Aug. 19.— The political campaign was opened in earnest to-night at the Auditorium in the presence of 6000 people with a joint debate of three hours between General P. Watt Hardin and Colonel William O. Bradley, the Dem- ocratic and Republican candidates for Gov- ernor respectively. The assemblage was equally divided between the Democrats and the Republicans. The vast hall was filled half an hour before the time set for the opening of the debate, and the im- mense stage held 400 prominent men of each party. Ths presence of so many was an indication of the deep interest that is being taken in the situation in Kentucky. Mayor Henry Tyler introduced the two speakers, In opening his speech General Hardin said he was not present to answer himself with cunning, evasive diplomacy, but to do battle boldly and bravely for the prin- ciples of Democracy. After reiterating his allegiance to the principles of Democracy and declaring them necessary to the wel- fare of this country he touched lightly upon financial issues, saying that the Re- publicans, with an impudence that would be surprising in any other party, claimed that there were divisions in the ranks over the currency question. He said that the act of 1873 demonetizing silver was an act of treason to our country. Kentuckians knew that every Demo- cratic delegate at the recent State conven- tion had opinions of their own and each had dared to express them and “I had mine. They were honest and I shall not desert them. It has been my principle to do the will of my party and tostand on | the platiorm which it makes, and on that platform I stand. Yes, I stand on it with both feet, and in the name of true Democ- racy and our country call on Buckner and | Biackburn, Brown and McCreary, Rhea and Atherton, and the Democratic press | of Kentucky, to stand bravely to the front | with guns shotted for the enemy and we | shall win. Our platform calls for the coin- | age of both metals without discrimination, | provided only that the parity of the two | metals be maintained.” | Colonel Bradley began by saying that he | was here to discuss live issues and not those that were dead. Answering a question of General Hardin | he said it was not true that there wasa controversy between himscli and Congress- man Walter Evans over the sound money | resolution of the Republican State Con- vention and the Courier-Journal had iteelf denied it. It was also false that he had re- | fused to commit himself on the currency question. He was for sound money, with a single gold standard, and before the convention told a Democratic editor that he would re- fuse the nomination if his party adopted a | free silver platform. Colonel Bradley also | gave considerable time to a general dis- |- cussion of currency legislation. He said | that if hisfriend, Mr. Hardin, did ncfl known how he (Bradley) stood on the financial question he probably did by this | time. He bad understood General Har- din to declare himself for the free and un- limited coinage of silver. The Democratic State platform was taken up and its vari- ous sections attacked. The greater part | of Colonel Bradley’s speech was an ar- raignment of the Democratic party’s ad- | ministration in Kentucky. CAMPBELL THEIR CHOICE. Demoerats Will Nominate Him for Ohio’s Governor. SPRINGFIELD, Osro, Aug. 19.—Dele- gates to the Ohio Democratic Convention are slow in arriving, but those who are here are quite willing to express their | oninions concerning the result of the cor- vention, There is no doubt that ex-Gov- | ernor James E. Campbell can have the | nomination if he will accept it. He seems | to be the man on whom all factions of the | party can unite. Notwithstanding the re- fusal of Sorg and Kilbourne to be candi- dates their friends are urging their claims. Sorg’s refusal was mot such a one that could not be withdrawn, as he said his | health was poor and the pressure of busi- ness prevented him from accepting the place. It looks to-night as though ex- Governor Campbell will be the choice of the convention. The silver men have not given up the fight. Colonel William Taylor said to- night: “We claim 338 silver delegates in the convention and concede 321 gold men with 147 doubtful. I don’t undertake to say that we will control the convention, but we will make such a showing that the Brice men will be willing to make conces- sions.” Barney Layton, who arrived this after- noon, said that Brice wounld get 500 of the 808 delegates on a sound-money plat- form, and would control perhaps 600. Captain D. C. Ballentine thinks the nom- ination will be forced upon Sorg, while there are others who think Kilbourne will withdraw his refusal and will be nomin- ated. Senator Brice's private secretary is here, but refuses to be interviewed. John H. Thomas is making a hard fight to secure the Gubernatorial nomination. He be- lieves that Brice was responsible for many acts which have done him irreparable in- jury. A rumor to-night is that Brice will compromise on Thomas, providing the latter’s friends will agree to lend Brice all their aid should he be a Presidential can- didate in 1896, BALTIMORE RKEPUBLICANS. Proceeding Very Slowly With Their City Convention, BALTIMORE, Mp., Aug. 19.—The Re- publican city convention, called for to- night, adjourned subject to the call of the chairman without putting in nomination | went west, any of the numerous candidates for the positions of Mayor, State’s Attorney, Sher- iff, Clerk of the Superior Court, Burveyor and three Judges of the Orphans’ Court. floor | It was decided, without much opposition, to defer the naming of & municipal ticket until some time in September. Having made up their State ticket with much ap- parent success, the Republicans are in- clined to move slowly and carefully in se- lecting men to put forward for the suf- frages of the public in Baltimore. FREE SILVER IS FAVORED. Nebraska Democrats to Frame a Plat- form Similar to Last Year’s. OMAHA, NeBr., Aug. 19.—Reports re- ceived to-day from various County Demo- cratic conventions in Nebraska show that the delegates to the State convention here Thursday wili be almost unanimously in favor of free silver at 16 to 1. There have been many contests and full delegations are expected from aimost every county. The principal business of the convention is to frame a platform which will be simi- lar to the one passed here last year, on which Mr. Bryvan was nominated for United States Senator, The convention will nominate a candidate for the Supreme Court and two Regents of the State Uni- versity. It is believed that Hon. W. H. Thompson of Grand Island will be nom- inated for Sapreme Court Justice. BLACK FLAGS DEFEATED. The Revolt in Formosa Practically at an End. LONDON, Exc., Aug. 19.—The Graphic will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Shanghai saying that reports have been re- ceived there from Formosa stating that the Japanese under General Kawamura at- tacked Shinchiku, an important city on the southwest coast of the island and the stronghold of the leader of the Black Flags. Two Japanese gunboats co-oper- ated with the land forces. The Black Flags were utterly routed, and the rebellion is virtually over, STOLE MANY THOUSANDS, The Shortage in the Beatrice, Nebr., Treasury Still In- creasing. Phillips Makes His Escape but His Confederate Is Under Arrest. BEATRICE, NEsR., Aug. 19.—The defal- cations of City Clerk Phillips and Water Commissioner Huwkins will run 1mnto the tens of thousands. The investigation started has produced evidence of-an as- tounding character, and new duplicates of warrants are coming to light almost hour- ly. From the back of the water fund war- rant-book ninety-six warrants have been abstracted, stubs and all. All the other fund-books show a like treatment, though 1o a less extent, indicating that the water fund was a favorite for operation. Early this morning there wasa rumor afloat to the effect that Mayor Grable had pronounced the signatures to the duplicate | city warrants negotiated by Clerk Phillips to be forgeries. Later in the day this ru- mor was confirmed by the issuance of war- rants of arrest for both the clerk and water commissioner. Phillips ‘scented further trouble and skipped for parts unknown. As nearly as can be learned, he left the city on foot and One party well acquainted with him met and spoke to him in the road a mile west of the city. He was seen by another party later in the day near Gllis, in the southwestern part of the county. S. B. Dodge, bondsman for the accused, upon hearing of Phillips’ depart- | ure, immediately surrendered Hawkins to the authorities, but be succeeded in giving bonds in the sum of $2000, he having also been arrested upon the charge of forgery. Deputy Sheriff Kyd and other parties are in pursuit of Phillips. . McKENNA'S OFFICE HOLDS. The Circwit Judgeship Not Affected by Conrad’s Ruling. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 19.—The Star says that Judge McKenna's office is also vacated by reason of Acting Attorney- General Conrad’s decision in Minister Ransom’s case, which holds that under the constitution the appointment of a member of Congress to a newly created office or one in which salary has been increased during the time for which the said representative is elected, is prohibited. The Star enters into a long discussion of the question as to whether Justice Me- Kenna’s opinions and judicial acts are legal. The fact is that Acting Attorney-General | Conrad’s decision will in nowise affect Judge McKenna. He was not appointed | to a newly created Circuit Judgeship, but was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Lorenzo Sawyer, while Gilbert of Oregon was afterwar selected for the newly created judgeship. A ROCKHILY, HAS RETURNED, Geographical Congress Delegates Favor an International Antarctic Ewpedition. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 19.—Will- 1am Woodville Rockhill, Third Assistant w. Ww. | Becretary of State, who was a delegate to the Geographical Congress held in Lon- don, has just returned home. To a re- porter last night he sai “There were only three questions that interested this country—prime meridian, Arctic explora- ration and the making of the map of the world on the scale of one-millionth. The scussion of Arctic exploration was aided materially by papers by General Greely on ‘Arctic Exploration,’ and by Henry Bryan of Philndeltha, who took such a promi- nent part in the Peary relief, on ‘The Northern Esquimaux.’ “All the delegates were agreed in the belief that there should be an interna- tional Antarctic expedition sent out before the close of thiscentury. It is believed that such an expedition would develop unknown regions and prove of lasting benefit and interest to mankind. The delegates will report to their respective Governments recommending that such an expedition be organized. ‘“What was thought to be the wildest scheme, but one which is soon to be tried, is the attempt to reach the north pole in a balloon. Thisis to be tried by a Scandi- navian who is backed by the King of Nor- way and Sweden, and he has all the money necessary forit. Itis nearly set- tled that the attempt will be made to reach the pole by a balloon in 18%96. But the thing that interested most of the mem- bers of the congress was how it would be known when the pole was reached if the explorer were high in the air.”” SRl OF INTEREST TO THE COAST.

CHICAGO, TIrn., Aug. 19.—The unfin- ished 2:19 trot proved to be the event of to-day’s Northwestern Breeders' Associ- ation card at Washington Park.

BALYTIMORE, Mp, Aug. 19.—Owen Zeigler, the recognized lightweight cham- pion of America, and Stanton Abbott, the English champion, met in a twenty-round bout before the Kureka Athletic Club to- night. The contest was intended to prac- tically decide the lightweight champion- ship of the world, and attracted large dele- gations from near-by cities. The men were weighed this afternoon at 3 o’clock, when it was found that Abbott was one pound under weight—132, but Zeigler tipoed the scales at 136. Abbott claimed the §100 for- feit aocordluf to the articles of agreement, which for a long time Zeigler refused to allow. He finally gave in and George Manz was agreed upon for referee. As a preliminary to the international contest, there was a 10-round bout between Abe Ulman of Baltimore and Mike gnmmk Boden, the conqueror of Jim all. man made a cho;:slng-block of Boden, and the men roughed it so hard in the third round that the police stopped it. Ulman got the decision. For the star bout Zeigler was attended by Lew Ba)leg of Phihdllghil. his backer, and Charles Effeltingec. Abbott had Jake Kilrain, Ernest Gebhardt and Frank Far- ley in his corner. Abbott wanted a draw if both men were on their feet at the end of the twentieth round, but Zeigler held out for a decision and gained his point. The battle was the cleanest and cleverest 0. Increase—CharlesColeman, | ever fought in Baltimore, and was marked Reissue—Ephraim Ranck, Ror. | witk heavy hitting. Zeigler was on the| - offensive throughout, but Abbott’s wonder- ful defense fully evened matters except 1n the last two rounds. Zeigler was given the decision on pointsat the end of the twentieth round. In the sixth round Abbott got first blood from Zeigler’s nose and had the Philadelphian weak from a terrible left-hand jab in the face. Zeigler came back strong and honors were even up to the eighteenth round. Zeigler then commenced rushing matters and landed oftener. Botk men were fresh, but Zeigler was a little stronger at the end of the twentieth, Abbott’s left cheek was badly swollen and his shoulders cut from glanc- ing blows. Zeigler's only mark was a red spot on his stomach. GAUDAUR DEFEATS DURNAN. Twenty Thousand People Witnessed the Race in Toronto Bay. TORONTO, Oxtario, Aug. 19.—Nearly 20,000 people saw Champion Oarsman Jake Gaudaur defeat Ed Durnan of Toronto in a three-mile race in Toronto Bay this evening.

Property Valued at Two Million Dollars Falls Into His Pos- sesslon. PLATTSMOUTH, Ngs., Aug. 19.—Wil- liam Foxwell, whose family resides here, has won his title to the famous Harris- Hartley estates in Cornwall, Eng. He went to England last November to look after the Foxwell interests, and has just forwarded the following cablegram to his family: “We have won.” The estate is valued at over $2,000,000, and Mr. Foxwell's income from rents will amount to fully $30,000 per year. When Mr. Foxwell went to England he got the depositions of several old residents in the vicinity of Racine, Wis., as to his identity, and the depositions were a great aid in winning his case. The estates include Rosewarne house, Conborne, and Rosetague house, Cross- well, and a large number of lesser estates, Rosewarne house being the home of Wil- liam Harris and Rosetague the home of Henry Harris, his brother. Many claim- ants appeared for the estate, including William Foxwell of this City, who chanced to see an advertisement in a newspaper that he could learn something of interest if he would appear at Cornwald, England. h S g SUGAR BOUNTY UNPAID. Senator Caffery’s Argument in Its Favor Was Without Avail. NEW ORLEANS, La., Aug. 19.—Senator Caffery, who has just returned from Wash- ington, where he appeared before Comp- troller Bowler to argue in favor of the pay- ment of the sugar bounty, tells the sugar planters that there is no prospect of getting the bounty that Congress voted. Bowler, he says, belongs to a new school of radical reformers, his chief coadjutors being the Assistant Attorney-General and nearly the entire Treasury Department, who take the view that department offi- cials can pass on the constitutiouality of acts of Congress and that the treasury offi- cials have control of the legisiative depart- meht in all matters of appropriation of funds. In this view of the question, he says, Comptroller Bowler bas undoubtedly the support and backing of Secretary Car- lisle. Senator Caffery urges the planters not to carry the question into the courts and en- deavor to obtain from the ‘United States Supreme Court a decision overthrowing Bowler’s ruling, but to leave the matter to Congress. If the assumption of Mr. Bow- ler is correct, he says, then it follows that Congress can pass no act appropriating money. “I think the final outcbme will be, not- withstanding the obstacles imposed by the Comptroller of the Treasury or any other subordinate officer of the Government, that the Congress of the United States will vindicate its rights to see that appropria- tions passed under the solemnities of the law shall be paid.” —- CORNERING NEGRO CRIMINALS. One Compelled to Confess by the Aid of a Rope. OTSEGO, MicH., Aug. 19.—A negro last night broke into the house occupied by a Mrs. 8mith. After forcing her to give up some jewelry the pegro attempted to assault Mrs. Smith. but her screams frightened him away. The thief was arrested at Plainwell this morning and was identified by Mrs. Smith. A erowd gathered around the jail with a rope, and, gaining an entrance, tied the rope around the negro’s neck and hauled him from his cell. As the noose drew tight the fellow lost his nerve and confessed that he was the guilty man, giving his name as Sam_Scheeler of Fort Wayne. He impli- cated two or thee other negroes, whom he said could be found in a swamp near here, and a posse has gone out to search for them. Many robberies have been com- mitted recently by this gnng. The negro’s accomplices were located two miles north- west of the town. The robbers are trying hard to escape, and many shots have been exchanged. All nifihhoring towns have been notified, and the miscreants will be killed if they do not suriender. There is still talk of ‘lynching Scheeler, and he will Erob_nbly be removed to Allegan for safe eeping. ROWAR. Beking Powder TOM REED HIS CHOICE Manley Has Not Made a Deal to Nominate Allison. SENSATIONAL TWADDLE. That Is What the Republican Leader Styles Untrue Reports. PRINCIPLE NOT PREJUDICE. Delegates to the Next Natlonal Convention Expected to Dis~ play Common Sense. SMALL POINT, Mk., Aug. 19.—*‘Some trifles are magnified into an apparent im- portance simply by taking notice of them; and it often happens that a published misstatement gets a wider circulation and does more mischief through being dig- nified by a public denial.” This was the evasive answer which the Hon. Joseph H. Manley of Maine gave last evening to a question as to the truth or falsity of the published report that he had made a deal which would give Allison tne first place on the National Republican ticket next year, with Chandler of New Hamp- shire as his running mate. Then Manley reflected for a second or two and cen- tinued: ““The whole thing is sensational twad- . It is not worth denying. It 1s ridiculous on the face of it. Why, Bill Chandler would not take the nomination for Vice-President if the Republican party should offer it to bim on a gold plate. It was the ambition of his life to be a United States Senator and he is sat- isfied to remain one. Besides, his own newspaper has most emphatically de- clared that he is not an aspirant for the Vice-Presidential nomination and has unqualitiedly expressed his preference for Reed for the head of the ticket, ‘first, last and always.’ “I have had no talk or correspondence on this subject either with Reed, Allison, Blair, Chandler or anybody mentioned in the article referred to or with anybody representing any of them.™ I would like to see the Republican party in the South di- vided in its preferences for a Presidential candidate. It would be extremely unfortu- nate for the party to have the Southern delegates in the next convention solid for any one candidate. It would be more so for the man whom they might support. In my opinion it would be almost fatal to his chances of success before the convention. Support of this sort defeated Mr. Blaine in two National conventions and cost him the Presidency. States that have “votes to burn” in a National convention, but none 1n the Electoral College, cut a big figure in naming the candidate and often work a serious injury to the party. 86 I hope to see the delegates from the South split up next year. & “There are hopeful signs there now of a speedy obliteration of old party lines. The voters, both whites and blacks, will hence- forth be controlled by principles inslead of by prejudice, and both the great political parties will, I hope, soon cease tp be sec- tional parties. There is absolutely no rea- son why they should be sectional. It would have been infinitely better for the Republican party if it had dropped the agitation of the ‘Force bill’ question eight years before it did. That policy kept the South arrayed against it. The people of the South are bound to have a rule of in- telligence; and they can have it, too, and will have, with the blacks divided into Democrats and Republicans, as well as the whites so divided.” Manley thinks that the revival of busi- ness all over the country will keep both the great parties from going wrong on the silver question next year and that ‘‘free silver” will cut no great figure in the campaign of 1896. But what the im- portant issue will be he deciines to predict. He reiterated his preference for San Francisco as the place for holding the National Republican Convention, adding by way of justification for it: *I voted for San Francisco in 1892. As already ex- plained, the Pacific States are entitled to this convention, having always been loyal to the Republican party, although getting nothing out of it. But aside from this the effect of a National campaign starting on the Pacific and moving majestically East- ward to the Atlantic would be something superb in politics.” “Hasn’t a fear that the Pacific States might otherwise be lost to the Republican party anything to do with your preference for San Francisco?” Mr. Manley was asked. “Not the slightest. States in any event.”” “‘And you still think Reed will not be knifed after the first ballot?” “T’ll say this,” was the decisive reply. “I never went into a convention witg a second choice. I never will. We will stand by our candidate, sink or swim.,” ‘We can carry those california’s Appeal Withdrawn. WASHINGTON, D.
