16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CAi’;L, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1895 BOSTON QUITS THE FIGHT, She Resigns in Favor of San Francisco for the Con- vention. THE FUND STILL INCREASING. Everybody Waiting to Begin Solid Work When the Mass-Meeting Convenes. BOSTON, Mass.,, Nov. 1.—What linger- ing doubts which existed a week ago as to whether the East would lend its support | to the claims of San Francisco for the Republican National Convention have now disappeared, and it can be stated authori- tatively that the Golden Gate will receive the support in this section to a unit. Efforts have been made during the last few days by Pittsburg lobbyists to awaken interest in their claims, but they have only met dull, unsympathetic ears. Never be- fore has an opportunity been given to so thoroughly test the temper of Eastern Re- publicans as to the question as during the past few days. The State elections are now at hand, and nearly all politicians of note from all over New England are gathered in this city. THE CALL corre- spondent has made a seriesof the most rigid inquiries, and as a result of this in- vestigation can say positively that New England is solid for San Francisco. San Francisco, in her desire to win the convention, has behind her the combined influence of the Union League Club, the Republican Executive Courcil, the press, the interior towns ana the followers of both parties of the State of California. Our interests are identical with those of the State and coast, and the ultimate out- come of securing the convention will be the betterment of the entire West. There are no influences inimical to the project, and it is not likely that there will pe. It is recognized as a non-partisan move- ment, which has given it untold strength. This fact has inspired the party leaders among both Republicans and Democrats to bury the hatchet, with its political edge, and 1 together. At Monday’s mass-meeting the stored- up energy of men with ideas will be let loose, with the result that all that is best for the rational working out of the problem will be brought forth. Already a variety of ideas are beginning to appear. Chair- man Friederich of the Union League Club said yesterday that he had received sev- eral letters from Eastern sources, all of which contained the most encouraging news, which in substance indicated that San Francisco would win her heart's desire and that the next Republican Pres dent would be nominated by a Republican Convention in this City. The greatest obstacles that we now have to overcome are distance and six votes among the National Committeemen. With our champions in the East we are likely to secure the requisite strength with the com- mittee, after which distance will be sec- ondary. California has offered the con- vention every possible luxury that could go with its appearance, and as the greater part of the probable delegates know noth- ing of the Pacific Coast except through having read of it, there is likely to be a considerable strength developed through a desire to see it. Those who have visited California know that our tales of sunshine, flowers and fruit are not fiction, and that while the great East is wrapped in frost and snow we are living under a perfect sky sur- rounded by green foliage and summer scenes. As a matter of fact, nothing wonld do the delegates so much good as the in- formation they would secure through vis- iting the youthful but powerful West. All of these things have their value in arguing for San Francisco, but the greatest issue of all is how to get them here, how to treat them when they arrive and how much good their presence will do the Re- publican party. zens of the State of California, and particularly San Francisco, have agreed to subscribe over $70,000 to bring the convention here, and this entire amount has been collected without the assistance of any organization, system or method other than that exercised by the local papers. At the mass-meeting Mon- day night organization will be perfected and committees of the most influential men in the State will be appointed to carry on and complete the work so earn- estly begun. They will be authorized to make ar- rangements in keeping with the condi- tions of the hour and of such a character that the best results can be readily ob- tained. It will be impossible now to out- line the plan under which they will pro- ceed, but it is evident from the interest displayed and the great amount of good that will undoubtedly accrue, that discre- tion and wisdom will be exercised and a happy conclusion will be the consequence. The noble way in which our interior cities have indicated their approval is very gratifying and they willin a great measure be responsible for success if it comes to us. It is evident that the importance of unity has asserted itself, for in this movement political creeds and party bars are letdown for the purpose of admitting better judg- ment. The most important work leading up to the conclusion must be done now. While we are straining every point to win the favor of the National Committee and simultaneously the convention, other cities equally anxious and quite as strong are doing likewise. Every hour spent in influencing Eastern committeemen is an hour gained, and before the 10th of De- cember, upon which date the committee will meet to decide upon a city, there will be an endless number of cancuses and some very distinclive wire-pulling from ail quarters of the Union. In thisevent San Francisco should be as well primed with arguments as any other city. There is no logic better than that of concert, and if the people of the West cast aside everything else but the one desire now uppermost in our minds, and demand of the Republican party recognition for their fidelity to the cause, we will be recognized and in all probability rewarded with the next Repub- lican Convention. Nor has the Legislature of California been unmindful of the importance of securing such a convention for the Pacific Coast. During the last ses- sion of the Legislature Assemblyman Hatfield, with a broad statesmanship whicb does credit to himself and his con- stituents, introduced a resolution looking to the offering of aninvitation for our East- ern friends to meet at some convenient point west of the Rocky Mountains for their guadriennial council touching the affairs of the Nation. This invitation is inscribed on the tablets of the State’s archives and copies have been transmitted by the Chief Executive to prominent and representative citizens throughout the country. It would be fitting that this ser- vice to the State be duplicated at the pres- ent time, to the end that our friendsas well as our rivals may recognize how deeply in earnest we are touching this important matter. - JOHN E. RICHARDS LOGIC. He Argues That the Party Owes Us the Convention. Attorney John E. Richards, in conver- sation with a CaLL representative, said of the convention proposition yesterday : “California has the facilities for dealing with a great convention similar to the Re- publican convention. Our past record in entertaining civic societies and supplying all their wants stands to our credit. It is probable that we can be as complete and satisfactory in the future asin the past. Qur natural advantages are suflicient to make a trip to this coast of the greatest valne to any one who visits us, and we can send them home filled with the magnifi- cence of our country. “In the matter of recognition at the hands of the Republican party, I believe that California has shown its loyalty to the party in amost tangible way. For the past twenty-five years we have sent Repub- lican electors to the electoral college, and we have never yet received a fitting reward. We have had no cabinet positions, no foreign missions of importance, no first- class positions to speak of, and never yet have we had such a thing as a National convention. It is time now for such a reward, and we ought to get it, and I believe we will beyond the peradventure of a doubt. ‘‘As to the details of entertainment, I believe they are ample. California is one of the best qualified States in the Union to entertain, and with our seaside resorts, our valleys, our mountains, our wonderful scenery and the attractive features of all kinds make us without a peer in the United States. “There is one all-important thing that I would like to touch upon, and that is the disadvantage that the State has labored under so long. The statesmen of the East, and particalarly Congress, have no conception of our physical and material needs. That was evidont in the matter of Chinese exclusion, for which the coast had to fight =0 long in Congress. It took years to educate them up to our political wants, and Federal legislation has always been very difficult to secure. The reason of it all lay in the fact that we were greatly misunderstood, and, in a great measure, we are to-day. We have our rivers, our harbors and ports that require certain Federal legislation, either in one way or another, yet we have had to combat with the East on points of which they knew nothing. ‘‘By bringing the convention here it would enable a great many men to see what we have who will never =ee it any other way; and I, for one, am inclined to the belief that it is the duty of the party to show us some recognition of that kind.” T P e THE TIDE TURNS. Boston Politicians Are Loud in Praises of San Francisco. BOSTON, Mass., Nov. 1.—Since Governor Greenhalge last week announced his de- termination to lend his efforts toward the convention going to the Pacific Coast, see- ing that Boston was out of the race, there has been a constant swinging into line. The followihg interviews with prominent members of the party give an impression of the feeling existing in the East. Governor Greenhalge said to-night: 1 have viewed with the greatest surprise the extent which the San Francisco boom has taken on of late. Whereas I was somewhat op- posed 10 the convention going West a week 8go, my views are now entirely changed, and 1 think that it would be the most politic move that could be made by the party and would be the greatest strengthening bond that could be devised. ‘When THE CaLL correspondent told him of the alacrity with which the convention fund was growing in San Francisco he said: Why, it's simply marvelous. If San Fran- ciscoans will go to such trouble and expense I should positively say, not alone in private but where it will do good, that there should be nothing that should prevent them from hav- ing the honor. Through TEE CALL I hereby extend my best wishes for the success of San Francisco. Californians residing in the East have aleo taken an extensive hand in the matter and are lending all their aid in furthering the work. At the dinner of the California Club to-night nearly 150 former residents of the Callfornia metropolis and a large number of invited guests sat down to dinner. Among the guests were nearly all the big-guns of the party in the East. The speaking was mostly in regard to the con- vention and the meeting was unanimous in their choice of San Francisco. A special meeting of the executive committee of the club will be held on Wednesday, when an effort will be made to open a subscription for all Californians to subscribe to. A prominent politician said to-day: Inever remember ever having seen such in- terest manifested in a convention as the pres- ent one. Ihave followed matters very closely and it is surprising the small number who favor an Eastern city. San Francisco will win with hands down. A prominent guest to-night at the ban- quet of the California Club was Governor Cleaves of Maine, who has been a warm champion of San Francisco since the fight began. When seen he said: I have never had any doubt but that the convention would go West, and I feel satisfied that San Francisco will carry off the honor. It would be difficult indeed to find another city in the country whose citizens would show the same open-handed generosity as have those of San Francisco. When a city ora person ex- tends to you a hearty welcome you usually accept that in preference to the offer less hearty by some other claimant. That is the only way that I can compare San Franocisco with other cities, and as such is the case we should reward her for her palnstaking thoughtfulnesss by giving her the prize. These are only a few of the many favor- able interviews, but they serve to illus- trate the favorable light in which San Francisco is held among Eastern Repub- licans. The boom has but just started, but by the time that it becomes neces- sary to act it will be a giant that will brook no obstacle and will sweep onward to nothing but complete triumph. e VIGOR IN VISALIA. What the ¢ Daily Times” Thinks of Our Chances. VISALIA, CaL, Nov. 1.—The people of isalia, irrespective of party, are hoping that the next National Republican Conven- tion will be held in San Francisco. The Visalia Daily Times,a Democratic paper, editorially, this afternoon says: San Francisco has been trying for a long time toget a National Couvention to meet in that City, and it begins to look as though encugh money would be raised to secure the Republi- can Convention next year. The newspapers and vublic-spirited citizens of that City should not stop till they get a National Convention, for that is the only wayto get the men who ¢hape Netional legislation to visit the coast &nd become acquainted with itsneeds. Vi- salia’s contribution to the convention fund is small, but it is an evidence of the good feeling that prevalls in this community toward San Francisco, and shows that our people appre- clate the benefits to be derived from entertain- ing a large body of prominent men for even & short time. i e CONVENTION FUND TO DATE. ¢ THE CALL”. 810,000 “ THE EXAMINER .. 1,500 « THE CHRONICLE ”. .. 7,500 REPUBLICAN EXECUTIVE COUNCIL.. 5,000 PAC.

General Thomas J. Morgan, ex-United States Commissioner of Education and Indian Affairs, under President Harrison. arrived in this Gity yesterday, and will preach to-morrow morning in the First Baptist Church on Eddy street. He will attend services in the evening at the Em- manuel Baptist Church on Bartlett street. General Thomas J. Morgan was born in Franklin, Ind., August 17, 1839. He is of March 4,1893. In the administration of this most difficult and perplexin,z office he labored zealously and successfully for the introduction of many greatly needed re- forms. His reports have been pronounced bg competent authority as among the ablest discussions ever made of the Indian question. Indian education was a special object of his solicitude and care, and he had the satisfaction of bringing about a complete revolution and of placing the schools upon s0 highand firm flfla!is that the succeeding { administration has very giadly accepted Lis Jabors and continued his work. New schoolhouses were erected, old ones were greatly improved, a course of study was | adopted, a system of textbooks was se- lected, a plan of expert supervision was introduced, the civil service was extended to include all the chief officers and teach- ers and the annual enrollment of pupils was increased from 16,000 to 21,000, His entire administration of the Indian Office gave great satisfaction to the Mo- hunk conference, the Indian Rights Asso- ciation, the Women'’s National Indian As- sociation, the Boston Citizenship Commit- tee and to all of that great body of Chris- tian philanthropists in the country who have taken special interest in the Govern- ment'’s treatment of its Indian wards. Before retiring from the Indian Office General Morgan accepted the tender of the office of corresponding secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, an office which he still hotds, The society expends yearly half a million dollars in the prosecution of its missionary and edu- GENERAL JAMES T. MORGAN. Weish stock, the son of Hon.'and Rev. Lewis Morgan, a pioneer settler of Indiana and one of the founders of Franklin Col- lege. After a preparatory course of study in the common schools he entered Frank- lin College, and was about completing the senior year at the outbreak of the war in April, 1861. At the first cali for troops he enlisted as a private soldier in the Seventh Indiana Infantry, and served for ninety days in Western Virginia, participating in the battle of Carricks Ford, one of the earliest engagements of the war. At the expiration of his term of serviee he spent a year as{vrincipal of the public schools in Atlanta, 111 In August, 1662, in response to Lincoln’s call for 300,000 men, he re-entered the service as first lieutenant in the Seventh Indiana Infantry, commanded by Colonel Benjamin Harrison. The friendship formed at that time between these two men has never been broken. On the rec- ommendation of General Harrison and other officers, and after a rigid examina- tion, Lieutenant Morgan received the ap- pointment of major, and was authorized to recruit and organize the Fourteenth Regi- ment of United States Colored Infantry at Gallatin, Tenn. When the regiment was completed it was visited at Chattanooga by General Lorenzo Thomas, adjutant-general of the United States army, who promoted 1tslcommanding officer to the rank of colo- nel. Subsequently, under the orders of Gen- eral George Thomas, who frequently vis- ited his camp at Chattanooga, Colonel Morgan organized two additional regi- ments of negro troops, and then, by special order of General Thomas, he was put in command of the First Colored Brigade of the Army of the Ciimberland. During thirty days of Sherman’s famous Atlanta campaign (May, 1864) Colonel | Morgan served as volunteer aid on the staff of Major-General 0. 0. Howard. then in command of the Fourth Army Corps, and participated in numerous heéavy en- gagements, having his horse shot under at Adairaville, ng received from General Howard the highest commendation for energy and fearlessness in battle, and also the credit of having saved the army at Resaca. Returning to his own command, he_ pnrticignud in the subsequent cam- Em:ns under Thomas, ending 1n the great attle of Nashville, where another horse was shot under him. At Dalton, Ga., he assisting in routing Wheeler's cavalry; at Decatur, Ala., at the head of his troops, he charged and captured a battery from Hood's army, and at Nash- ville, Tenn., December 14 and 15, 1864, at 25 years of age, in command of two brigades, one of white troops and one of colorad, he opened tne great battle, and for two days bore a conspicuous part in the crushing defeat that Thomas visited \xpcu'lJ Hood’s army. For gallantry and meritorious services during the war he received the distinction of brevet brigadier-general, being one of the youngest men in the service upon whom this honor was bestowed. In August, 1865, after a service of forty months in various grades, he resigned his commission to resume his studies, interrupted four years before, and entered Rochester (N.Y.) heological Seminary, from which he graduated in 1868. He afterward spent some time in the %ro_:ecugion of historical studies in the niversity of Leipsic, Germany. Hisalma mater conferred upon him tte degrees of A.B. in 1861, A.{L in 1864 and LL.D. in 1894. The Chicago University gave him th'e degree of D.D. in 1874. The greater portion of the time since his graduation in 1868 has been spent in teaching—seven years as a professor of homiletics and church history in a theo- logical seminary at Chicago and the re- mairder of the” time as normal school mgncnpnl. the last service of this nature eing at Providence, R. I. His work, en- titled “‘Studies in Pedagogy,” in which he sets forth with clearness and force his con- ception of the function of teaching, as conslsunf chiefly in the systematic train- ing of all of the powers of the child, has been widely recognized among the stand- ard works, ranking among the best yet progluced in this country. hen General Harrison became Presi- dent in 1889 he tendered to General Mor- an his choice between the office of United tates Commissioner of Education and Commissioner of Indian Affairs, express- ing his desire that he would accept the latter, which he did, entering upon his du- ties July 1,1889, and voluntarily retiring atthe end of President Harrison's term— cational work in the United States and Mexico, and carries on an extensive work of education among the negroes of the South.

Mrs. Margaret Collier Graham gave a delight- ful address on Tuesday afternoon to a Jarge audience who assembled in Laurel Hali, 32 O'Farrell street, to attend the inaugural exer- cises of the San Francisco Lyceum of Expres- slon. Mrs. Edna Snell Poulson made the open- ing address introducing the iyceum to the pub- lic and Mrs. Graham to the audience. Mrs, Graham's paper was on ““Modern Fiction” and was full of keen logic and flashing wit leveled at the romanticists in fiction and at the cow- ardice that prevents the pnblic of to-day from recognizing that we have at the present time the best talent in fiction that the world has ever known. “We are so afraid of our own time; so willing to atiach ourselves to that which has stood the test of years; so anxious to hide our inability to discriminate behind the world’s verdiet. We feel so safe abont Shakespeare and Milton and Plato and Aris- totle, and so wavering and helpless atout Meredith and Hardy and Howells and James, and all the time we are making for ourselves the record that the contemporaries of Keats and of Bhelly and even of Shakespeare made.” DENY LOW'S STATEMENT, Messrs. Donohoe and Keys on * the Judge’s Remarks in re Johaston. CHANGE OF VENUE DEMANDED. They Assert That Any Sum Paid to McComb Would Be His Per. sonal Property. Messrs. Denis Donohoe Jr. and James W. Keys write to THE CALL in reference to the case of G. P. Johnson, their client. Their communication is as follows: To the Editor of the San Francisco Call—SIx: In answer to certain statements and comments made by Judge Low of the Police Court in an interview in to-day’s CALL, relating to the case of our client, G. F. Johnston, the man who was arrested three times on the same charge, we beg to say: First—The statement of Judge Low that we at any time concurred in his outrageous demand that Johnston should pay $500 as the price of his acquittal or in any way or at all, to Gen- eral McComb or to the society, or to any other person, is absolutely false. » 8 The Judge 1n his interview, with an obvious view toward diverting attention from the real subject matter of our complaint, states that the money, the payment of which he de- manded, was intended for the *‘care and com- fort of Johnson’s children,” and with an ob: ous view of impressing upon the more emo- tional portion of the public mind woata good kind little man Judge Low is, he has much to say in his interview concerning “little inno- cents, poor children,” etc. Now, as a matter of fact, we dmmm{ pointed out to Judge Low—and he well knows it, because it is the law—that any such sum, 1f paid to General Mc- Comb personally, would'be his personal prop- erty,and any such sum pald to the society would be a donation to its funds and would not inure to the benefit of Johnston’s children at all, who, by the way, were in the custody of another institution altogether. Second—As to the Judge’s kindly remark in his interview—that it looked to him as if we wished to keep the case in a *‘turmoil” in order to collect a large fee—we appeal to the record of the case itself. We did not swear to two faulty complaints; we did not arrest Johnston three times on the same charge; we did not refuse to obey the law of the land and do our sworn duty and dismiss the third com- ?laint. charging ‘a misdemeanor, when two lormer complaints for the same offense had been dismisse we did not, after the first complaint was dismissed, canse Johnston to be locked up for two days in the County Jailona defective complaint and then only rélease him on $500 ball, with two real estate owners as sureties, a most difficult thing for a working man to obtain; we did not ruin Johnston’s business, deprive him of his livelihood, break up his home, place an undeserved stigma on his name and deprive him of his children. This is the “turmoil’’ to which Judge Low alludes, and this “turmoil” was occasioned by his own indefensible acts and his own out- rageous and illegal conduct in endeavoring to force this man by a threat of six months’ im- prisonment, the maximum penalty, to pay General McComb £500. Third—Judge Low artfully conceals the fact in his statement that we made two applic tions for a change of venue, the first imme- diately after the first complaint was dismissed, on the ground of prejudice and bias. He denied this application. It was the second application made the other day which he so “gladly” granted. he whole sum and substance of this matter is this: Judge Low, either to curry favor with the agents of this society or ior some other ulterior purpose of his own, abused his powers | as a Judge and endeavored by such abuse of said powers and by threats of imprisonment to compel the defendant charged with this mis- demeanor to pay $500, not as a fine butas a donation or gitt.” In so doing he violat. oath of office, the law of this State, ates of natural justice and principles of manly honor. When he finds that his attempt on Johnston’s purse cannot succeed he asperses the motives of the persons who rescued John- ston from his clutches.

THE CLASSES OF PEOPLE WHO SUFFER FROM IT. Brain Workers, People Who Worry, and People Who Endure Long Con- tinued Physical Strain. From the Examiner, San Franciseo, Cal. Insfenemlly agreed that a man’s physical condition is dependent, to a great degree, upon the nature of his employment. Men whose oc- cupation necessitates the constant use of the brain, without any opportunity for physical exercise, are generally nervous, while men em- plofed at manual labor requiring no exercise of the brain function are almost universally NEW TO-DA MUNYON Prayed .

GUNP, 113 Geary st. = NO, NO, Don’t think that because Standard Shirts are made here in San Francisco that they cost more than East~ ern-made shirts. They don't; considering qual- ity, they cost less. The fact that they are made in San Francisco is, go!ua:ned of sound nervous systems, not easily isturbed by existing events.’ A striking illustration of this principle is found in the case of Professor George E. Cole- man, who i8 a professional pianist and who was until within recent years a druggist. Pro- fessor Coleman lives at 1330 Buchanan street, San Francieco. He is well known here as a pianist, hn\'flng played at some of the most yopul.l‘ music halls'in the city. Mr. Coleman s not a man of strong frame, and he has been an easy prey to the severe, nervous tension of his work the piano. He has had to play continuously for several hours during every evening for five years, and his neryous systom finally gave way under the strain. He was forced to retire from regular work at the piano, but that did not have the effect of improving his condition. Upon the contrary he steadily grew worse. His nerves had been shattered, and in addition he discovered that one of his lungs had been affected by his haying been exposed to counter draughtsin poorly venti- lated halls. His condition soon gecsme such | that he was confined o his home, and finally ave himself over to the care of & physician. ir. Coleman’s experience asa druggist had given him an scquaintance with diseases and their remedies,so he had a full knowl- edge of just what was necessary on his part to efiect a cure. “After several weeks’ careful treatment by the physician,” said Mr. Coleman, “I could notice no improvement in my condition. If anything I think I was_ considerably worse. The action of my lungs had become so weak that I was afraid to walk any distance un- assisted for fear of falling, through loss of res- piration. My nervousness had advanced to an alarming stage. 1 was not able to contein my- self for even a short time, but had slways to be fumbling with something or moving ner- vously about the room. Itwas while I was in this condition that I noticed in a paper an ar- ticle on Williams’ Pink Pills. Idetermined to try them, even though they killed me. Well, they didn’t kill me, but I'm not going to tell you that they cured me immediately: my case was much too serious for that. But I had not taken a full box before I felt a %fl‘.\l relief. My Tespiration was more certain, I was gradually regaining control of nerves and my condition was generally improved. I kept right on tak- ing the pills and getting well. Now, I had taken just tnree boxes of them when I consid- ered myself a cured man. And I was right, for although I quit taking the pills, I did not re- lapse into my former conaition, but grew stronger daily. “It was truly a_marvelous cure, and I will say that I think Willinms’ Pills possess remark- able curative properties, and 1 would recom- mend them to the use of the thousands of peo- ple of this city who are nervous wrecks, or who are suffertig (rom diseases of the lungs. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People nie now given to the publicas an unhfling blocd- builder and nerve-restorer, curing all forms of weakness arising from a watery condition of the blood or shattered merves. The pills are however, one reason why you should buy them. It’s helping home industry. For 20 years Standard Shirts have been the standard of qual- ity and price.
