16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1895. BUCKLEY IS 0UT FOR G0OD GOVERNMENT., He Tells All About His Return and His Schemes. THE WISDOM OF A BOSS. Is Simply Counseling Friends | Who Would Save City and Party. HUMOR IN THE APPLICATION. The Blind Boss Talks of His Proud Record, His Friend Ralney and His Enemles. * Chris Buckley was so busy yesterday afternoon doing politibs with politicians | that 1t was some time before he found a | chance to tell a CAvLL reporter in strong phrases and in a kindly manner that he is | out of politics. The man's frankness and sincerity were evidenced 1n his innocently open but sightless eyes, his ready and de- cisive speech and manner, and his ready words of protest and assertion that did not | lesve prominent the diplomacy behind them. | i Maloney, | enfolding the Democratic party. time will tell how well founded is the sublime confidence the Buckley men have suddenly displayed and how much will be accomplished by the perfect and far-reach- ing organization that Buckley is now rapidly effecting, and by the shrewd methods and manipulations of which Buckley is a past master. By one portion of the party Buckley is welcomed back with joy unspeakable. His old orderlies and influential lieutenants like Peter F. Dunne, A. T. Spotts, J. C. Nealon, Sam Newman, P. F. Dundon, J. J. Maurice Schmitt, Fleet M. Strother, Thomas J. Glynn, Judge Levy, J. J. Flynn, A. J. Clunie and a large num- ber of men equally well known have ral- lied about him with a fidelity that is touching and which is reciprocated. The old guard lacks only a lot of reorganizers, who are now in the other camp being cursed from the Occidental Club as in- grates and mountebanks. Then there are ‘‘the boys'’—those who have not been given jobs by theother side. They arerallying in all the districts with mouths watering for municipal pap. They already feel the sportsman’s keen thrill of joy at the prospect of the steam peer and the delightful war and turmoil of Buckley ward politics. To the other wing of the party Buckley has risen like a grim and fearsome evil ap- parition. They acknowledge that he is here and will attempt to stay, and will desperately battle to keep the slimy arms of the political octopus from successfully Buckley and his cohorts will shrewdly and relent- lessly labor to weaken and capture the op- | the quiet graces of a gentleman well when they are in order, and his winning man- ner and the confidence he is able to inspire and sustain in those willing to be his friends are one of the sovrces of his power with men. “For several vears I have persistently declined to be interviewed by newspaper | men because I found that the papers were | seldom willing to publish correctly and | entirely what I might say,” he observed in a prefatory way as he reseated himself and | turned toward the interviewer the open sightless eyes that seemed ready for the light. Then he talked politics. He told astory of how he came to lend a hand, denied that he was going to abandon Ravenswood for the City,drew comparisons between | the way he managed the party and the City and the way they are managed now, declared that Sam Rainey was his true friend, eaid that taxes were 'griev- | ously high, sniffed at the reorganizers, and | told of the plansof his friends to rescue | the City from incompetence and misman- agement, unite the party and put up a | royal ticket that the people would elect. “‘Some months ago several friends of quested to attend to give them counsel and advice, they having confidence in my past,” began Mr. Buckley, when asked for his estimate of the condition and needs of the local party organization. “‘During that discussion we found the municipality in a chaotic condition. We went over the affairs of the past year and we found the people groaning under a heavy burden of | taxation. I agreed to confer with these | condition it was in 1882, “It was thought that if a ticket could be | gotten up that wouid give the people a government like that from 1882 to 1885 it would be the means of perpetuating the Just now, when the most dangerous boss | position forces, and therein lies another !

The taxation / here should not exceed 75 cents and delegates to the Legis- lature could be pledged to a Btate limit of 50 cents, giving a total rate of $1 25. Ii the Hon. Frank McCoppin, John H. Wise, Fleet F. Strother, Colin M. Boyd, John H. Russell and a few other gentlemen I could name could be called in counsel and pre- vare such a platform and nominate men to carry it out the City could be run within the $1limit. The economical administra- tion of public affairs is the absorbing tovic with everybody I meet and they ate com- paring the government of a few years ago with that of now. Then submit these matters to the people and ask what they are going to do about it. These people I mention know the wants of the people and know how to construct a platform. “My ideas of municipal improvements? Yes, I know there is a desire for them and a need of them. The wants of the City are great. We need new sewers, better streets, park improvements and other things, but the people should be allowed to decide what they want and when. In all well-governed municipalities the peo- ple look for low taxation. If improve- ments are wanted why not submit to the people the question of 1ssuing bonds to beautify and improve the City? Do not crowd it all into the burden of taxa- tion. That is the way it is done in other cities and the way it should be done here. If all departments of the City government were carried on in the way Ashworth car- ried on the work of the Street Department from 1883 to 1885 there would be no diffi- culty about taxes or anything else.” Buckley had thus stated the theories and grounds by which these gentlemen are cleverely figuring with Buckley’s THIS I8 A PICTTRE OF CHRISTOPHER A, BUCELEY, WHO IS SEEEKING TO RE-ESTABLISH HIS AUTHORITY AS THE DEMOCRATIC - LEADER OF SAN FRANCISCO. | The above sketch was obtained at a special sitting given to a **Call” artist at the Occidental Club yesterday afternoon, and is the first good likeness of the Blind Boss obtained in ten years.] that ever ruled, plundered and debauched uncertainty of the future.

Is he likely to regain any large measure of power in the City and State governments? | By unanimous consent Buckley has | never surrender to Buckley, but what the anti-Buckley organization will do and be nobody can guess just now. So whatever Chris Buekley may be pleased to say just now about himself and the Democratic party is of interest. Per- haps there isashade of injustice to Mr. Buckley in the statement that he declares himself *‘out of pohitics,” but his political latitude, longitude and course would be hard to make out from his own charts. He is not going to be a boss again, he says. He is not looking for political power, and it couidn’t be thrust upon him. He admits that he has consented to counsel with some worthy gentlemen about the been declared dead forever since he |best interests of the City and how they fled from the Wallace Grand Jury after the successful Suilivan and Dwyer revolution f in 1891. It has been believed generally that Buckley’s overthrow, repudiation and execration were so thorough and complete that he would never again even dare to show his head. But within but a few days he has appeared like a conquering hero among a swarm of his old followers and in the first round has narrowly missed cap- turing the general committee. He is rally- ing added forces to his side every day and is opening a shrewd and vigorous cam- paign which is to conciliate enemies, take political workers into camp, play on exist- ing political jealousies, appeal to political ambitions and cleverly take advantage of all the discontent that is the result of the high taxlevy and the conditions of the City finances. The cooling of public indig- nation, the ready popular forgetfulness of past things and the fickleness of the civic virtue that expresses itself now and then in great waves of reform are counted on to lessen the resistance to ring power which mever abandons a persistent siege when it does not hold the City. The political futures of men, parties, may be promoted by a united, harmonious and successful Democratic party. Heisin- terested only in securing good government for the City. He is merely consulting en- gineer to some of his political friends he | protests in effect. As nothing is done by | Buckley’s friends just now without his ad- vice, and as his advice is followed with fidelity and promptness, there is a slight element of humor in Mr. Buckley’s frank and serious explanation. Many men had counseled with Christo- pher Buckley yesterday afternoon when be welcomed a Cann reporter in the large upper chamber of the magnificent Occi- dental Ciub building on Stockton street, where visitors go for private consultation. He showed no traces of the lack of health which he has been &onfessing to. He rose | from a large leather upholstered chair as one of his friends announced the visitor, and he held a white, firm, open hand out in his darkness. for the interviewer to find and grasp. It is a pleasant and cordial welcome which greets every caller on Mr. Buckley, and they are pleasantly spoken, ready and frank, though well and quickly chosen, rings and bosses are uncertain, and only | words which a caller hears. He displays mittee had been called to elect a chairman, and they asked my advice about it. I saw no need for a chairman just now, but as the issue was forced, they persuaded James H. O’Brien to enter the contest with the opposing forces, with the result seen. It is now proposed to get all Demo- crats and people anxious for good govern- ment vogether, and put up a ticket that must be successful. “But as far as my part goes, I want 1t distinctly understood that I am simply an adviser. I would not take the leadership if 1t were offered to me on a silver platter. 1am not a member of this club, or of any other club, nor of any committee, and I will not be. I am not seeking political vower and would not accept it. I will give my advice when it is wanted, and will not give it when it is not wanted.” This diplomatic and ingenious declara- tion was followed by a denial that he would abandon Ravenswood. “My interests are here,” he said, “and I alternate between the City and Livermore. Just now Iam at the Baldwin with my friend Charley Asher, one of the proprie- tors, but I have not established any nead- quarters or permanent residence there, and 1 am not going to move my furniture from Ravenswood.” This is how Mr. Buckley expressed his opinion of the way the Democratic party and the City have gone to the dogs since he has been missed at the helm: ‘‘In 1890, under what is called the *Buck- ley regime,’ the Democratic party pollea an average of 28,000 votes. In 1892 it polled an average of 16,000 votes, and in 1894 19,000 votes. Now the people must judge of the management before and since. Up to 18%0 on a valuation of $230,000,000 the City was run with a tax himft of $L. | Since then the valuation has been raised to $300,000,000, the City’s debts are unpaid and the tax rate is now §2 25. 3 ‘‘There are 4 numberof gentlemen in the shrewd “‘counsel” in taking the tide at a flood and riding back to power with the master of political manipulation at the helm. “Buck” knows the ‘‘people” and human nature, and it illumines his chance remark dropped during the inter- view, “I have been called a knave, but I don’t think I’ve ever been called a fool.” “‘The ultimate idea of these gentlemen,” he declared, ‘is to go back and secure a government like that under the regime I mention. Their purpose is to unite the party and put up a ticket that will carry out that policy and that will be elected by the people.” The sightless boss, who was thus giving readily of his wisdom within the bounds of a ready discretion, didn’t mind saying something about the breach in the party. It didn’t seem to worry him much. ‘‘Oh, well, no matter how hard Demo- crats fight they will all get together in the end and grind ont something beneficial. The party is different from the Republi- can party in that way. As has been said, the Democrats are like Kilkenny cats. No matter how hard they fight, when the bat- tie is over there are no more cats. Asto the ‘Reorganizers,’ that element of the party always opposed what was called the ‘machine.’ But their fears may be set to rest, because I am not going to putup a ticket. When demagogues want to ride into power and secure the party for thelr own purposes they always cry ‘Buckley. It’s a bugaboo they always raise. Yes, I suppose many doubt that the party can be united, but they have not had my experi- ence in the past. Now and then dis- gruntled and disappointed fellows go off and get up sideshows, but they seldom amount o much. They always get to- gether again. Well, as to the way the party has been managed lately, the people ought to be able to judge of the adminis- trative abilities of Max Popper and some others. They know about as much about politics, in my estimation, asa shoemaker does about making a watch. It is possible that the trouble with the .party has been that it lacked management. I have not been in politics since July, 1891, and may not be weil informed. “Rainey? There's nothing in that story. We are good friends. There has been a lot of talk about Rainey and I and my enmity to certain departments of the City government and my seeking revenge. I am not seeking a quarrel with anyhody and I don’t intend to. Rainey and I are as good friends as ever and always will be. No, I don’t think that Mr. Rainey took any great interest in that contest in the general committee. Every man has a right to his own ideas and to put them into effect, but Mr. Rainey and I never had any differencesand I don’t think we will.” The man who cansee a way so clearly without eyes reverted again to the topic which held a chief place in his heart— good government and good men. I think,”” he observed, “‘that when such men as Stanton, La Rue, Dimond and others do their duties well and do great things for the people the press should ap- plaud them, regardless of party. If that were done political leaders could get better men in office. *‘In 1882 the leaders of the party agreed that I should prepare a ticket and platform. John 8. Hager was first' proposed, but Washington Bartlett was finally nomi- nated and elected. - In that Board of Super- visors were John F. Sullivan, J. H. Smith, E. B. Pond, Fleet F. Strother, J. B. Lewis, Jefferson G. James, Thomas Ashworth and others. I claim that another Board of Supervisors of that character could be secured.” Buckley had adroitly avoided snags, and when the bearing of the local situation on National politics was broached the topic was dismissed with the remark, “There is aclass of gentilemen in the Democratic varty who are always Jooking for higher honors.” By this time the accumulation of gen- tlemen eager for counsel tendingto the ultimate interests of the City and the re- habilitation of the party had become an impatient force, and when the affable adieu came Buckley repeated that funny protest by declaring: “The sayings of politicians, the lashings of the press nor anything elsa can get me back into poli- tics. Itisnot the pleasantest occupation in the world.” HAS BOUGHT THE OLRNAL W. R. Hearst Purchases a Well-Known One-Cent New York Paper. In Order to Start the Paper Falrly He Sends for Western Blood. “Annie Laurie” (Mrs. Black), Homer Davenport, newspaper artist, and Charles Dryden, special writer, left on the over- land train last evening to fill places on W. R. Hearst's New York paper. The three know absolutely nothing of what is ex- pected of them or how long they are to be gone. They were simply wired to leave for New York in twenty-four hours. They filled the engagement up to 6 o’clock last evening by appearing on time at the ferry with their grips and tickets. The local newspaper world is agog over Mr. Hearst’s new venture. He has taken no one into his confidence here. His confidential agents here have not the slightest inkling of the name of the paper he has bought or what he purposes doing with it. For some months past, however, the rumor has been current that he was resolutely raking over the New York news- paper field with a big checkbook. Two weeks atgo 8. 8. Chamberlain, managing editor of the Examiner, was called East. Since then, for some reason, all news- paperdom has become confident that *‘Mr. Hearst has bought 8 New York paper.” How long the three will be gone is not known, buf two of them expect to be back in a couple of months. Their idea is that they are wanted simply for several open- ing “special features.”” NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—A report was in circulation to-day that the Morning Jour- nal had passed into new hands. For some time past William R. Hearst, son of the late Senator George Hearst and roprietor of the S8an Francisco Examiner, uring a sta¥ in this city, has been nego- tiating with John R. MeLean for the pur- chase of the Journal, and it now seems probable that this will be accomplished in a few days. Mr. Hearst said to-night at the Hoffman House that nothing had been settled in regard to the matter, but that he hoped for a satisfactory outcome. A representative of Mr. Hearst was en- gaged last night in examining the Journal office accounts. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 4—The Times savs: The report of the sale of the Morn- ing Journal of this city to Wiiliam R. Hearst, proprietor of the San Francisco Examiner, is confirmed by Mr. Allen, the New York correspondent of the Examiner. There is excellent authority for saying that’| Mr. Hearst will take possession o} his new property some time next week. is now in this city and is accom- anied by the managing editor of his San E‘rnnciscb aper, 8. S. Chamberlain. The Morning Journul will retain its present name, for a time at least, and its price will remain at 1 cent. But many changes in its management and its features will probably be made soon. The Journal was purchased some weeks ago by John R. McLean from its founder, Albert Pulitzer. —————— LEGALITY OF THE TAX LEVY. The BSupreme Court Will Hear the Matter on November 4. The Supreme Court, at the instigation of Mayor Sutro and President Truman of the Civic Federation, has issued an alternative writ of mandate directing the Board of Supervisors to suspend proceed- ings under the tax levy. The writ is re- turnable on Monday, November 4. Thisis to determine whether the tax levy can be fixed without the approval of the Mayor. ‘While this hearing is pending taxes will become due, and it is anticipated that the money will be paid to the Collector under protest. ————— A Word With the Wise.

INCORPORATED 037, 039 and 941 Market Street, San Francisco. 1 YOUNG LADY KIONRPED Police Looking for the Daugh- ter of the Los Angeles Greek Consul. Rangod and a Woman Called Ada- line Le Page Accused of the Crime. Chief Crowley and his trusted lieutens ants are searching the City over for Ed- ward L. Rangod who, through the assist- ance of a girl, Adaline Le Page, abducted Adrienne Pavlides, daughter of Dr. D. Pavlides, formerly Greek Consul, with headquarters in this City, but now sta- tioned at Los Angeles. Nearly seventeen days ago the Le Page woman, who was working as a servant in the house of Dr. Pavlides, induced Ad- rienne to take a walk and that was the last seen of them. Rangod, who was known to be related in some way to Dr. Paviides’ servant, had also heen most persistent in his attention to the thirteen-year-old daunghterof the Greek Consul. With the disappearance of tie two women Rangod also dropped from sight, and Dr. Pavlides at once concluded that they had forcibly taken his child away. For days he could find no trace of the parties, though every police officer on the coast was promptly notified of the abduc- tion. Thursday Dr. Pavlides received in- formation which led him to believe that his daughter, with Rangod and Adaline Le Page, were aboard the steamer Mexico bound for this port. Chief Crowley, who, in the meantime had been furnished with pictures of the abductors, and also one of the youngglrl. was immediately notified to meet the Mexico and arrest them, war- rants having been sent him from Los An- geles several days ago. The Mexico came into port yesterday morning, reaching her dock at 8:45. De- tective Anthony was on hand and also J. Chamon de. St. Hubert, who knew the girl Adrienne when she lived in S8an Fran- cisco. Aseach passenger came ashore they were subjected to careful scrutiny, and when any evidence of disguise existed they were required to tell who they were and where they were from. The much-wanted parties were not aboard, and the captain of the steamer assured Detective Anthony the! never had been. Itis believed by the police that Rangod and the Le Page woman have slipped the girl into the City under a careful disguise and that the trio are now in hiding. Adrienne Pavlides is only 13 years nlfi. though she could readily pass for 18 or more. This difference in age and appear- ance is, according to the police, likely to gmvp confusing if nothing more. Dr. avlides is well known in San Francisco, his position as Greek Consul bringing him in close touch with many of the most prominent business people in the City. —_— INVEST IN REAL ESTATE. The Regents of the State University Have Purchased the Kate John- son Property. The regents of the State University on Thursday last bid $385,000 for the Mrs. Kate Johnson estate, now in probate, and if there are no higher bids the property will be turned over to the Universicy of California. It has been the desire of the regents for some time to place the money of the Wil- merding fund in a saferand more profitable investment than in mortgages, as hitherto. Accordingly the matter was left to the committee of finance, consisting of I. W. Hellman, A. 8. Hallidie and Albert Miiler. There were adaed to thisspecial committee Regents C. T. Crocker and G. T. Marve. The sale was made by Benjamin Bangs, executor of the estate. Judge Coffey Xel‘l- dered the decision. The land is described as: . One hundred and seventy-one feet 1034 inches from the southwesterly corner of Kearn y and Sutter streets, extending 104 feet 514 inches along the northerly line of Sutter street; then in a northerly direction parallel to Keurny street 103 feet 115 inches; then east- erly 60 feet to Trinity street; then northerly along the latter street 68 feet 9 inches; westerly again 60 feet, southerly 34 feet and 415 inches, westerly 104 feet and 5l inches, northerly 25 feet, westerly 34 feet and 43 inches, southerly 58 'feet, easterly 34 feet and 41 inches and westerly 104 feetand 1 inch 10 the point of beginning. The hearing on the confirmation of the sale has been set by Judge Coffey for Octo- ber 15. Sidney V. Smith is attorney for Executor Bangs. This investment includes nearly all of the $400,000 of the Wilmerding fund. The Regents consider the price offered reasonable and express their confidence 1n San Francisco real estate. —_——— YOUR eyes are of more value than the largest array of dollars you can compute on this sheet, Bank Stock paper saves your eyes.
