THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1896, w 5 SAM RAINEY HAS TAKEN THE TRICK, LastNight's Primary Shows Him Close to the Junta's Control. HEATED DISTRICT ROWS. Election Officers From Headquar- ters Thrown Out in the Forty-Fourth. THEY SAT ON THE BALLOT-BOX. The Anti-Boss Faction of the Anti-Boss Organization Wonder Where They Are At. The Junta held its primary for the elec- tion of a new general committee last even- ing.and Sam Rainey seems to have cap- tured the anti-Buckley organization. If this is not the truth it issoclosea have from the truth that it amounts to he same thing. If the apparent truth he fact the local Democracy sits in a dual role on the neck of Democratic anti-boss ism. B y absolutely controls one *‘regular” local Democratic orgamization and Sam Rainey smilingly controls the other “‘regular” local Democratic organi- zation. Of course it is not v.

This measure ully forced in a number of dis- it of v that the rep- entatives of interests zll around should nain as it was, regardless of the primary ng of any faction in any district. Max Popper and ot demanded that - the process go further and tually cut down, if’ not eliminate altogether, the Rainey element in the organization. But the prevailing powers at headauarters con~ ceded equal stren while refusing gnize any new igth that such political rs as Daggett, experienced ined by their clever political work meantime. In th “meantime” all these three local powers, and Rainey especially, have been quietly reaching out for power. That was the situation in the midst of s which the Junta primary was held be- tween the hours of 7:30 and 9:30 o'clock last evening in the various districts, there being one polling-place in each of the eizhteen Assembly districts. No wonder there was some trouble. The chief battle was in the Forty-fourth Dis- secretary tenant, controlled the situation absotutely. His followers constitutea the roll and had the district, the opposition—led by Otto Koeper, Senator Fay and other: in a small minority. Maxwel bold stand on the Democrati: that the majority should a ru ignoring the ticket made up at head- quarters giving him twelve out of the twenty-five delegates, ran the ticket of twenty-five nominated by the b. Chairman Sullivan, who had taken things into his own hands, sent five men to take charge of the election and a bundle of ‘‘official” tickets. There were ten police officers there, but Chairman Sullivan’s election officers were thrown out and the Maxwell people took charge of the election. There were 150 ballots cast and not a single one of them were the pink “official” tickets prepared at head- quarters. ¥ This Forty-fourth row is the sum and measure of the whole situation. Max- well's twenty-five will demand seats in the general committee when it meets for organization on Thursday evening. Not a vote was cast foranybody else. The Rainey-Dageett-Lanigan strength wiil vote for seating the twenty-five. That vote will measure the Rainey power in the Junta’'s new general committee at the outset. Out in the Thirty-fourth there were more interesting doings. The district club sent in twenty-five nominees and $25and supposed that everything was all right. trict. They left off George Gallagher of the Deuprey committee. At headquarters Gallagher was aliowed to name eight men to be substituted in the ticket for Rainey men. The ticket as amended by Gallagher at headquarters was printed and sprung at the polls when they opened. Of course, there was a Tow. % In two or three other districts nominees who were stronely opposed to Rainey were scratched and Rainey men elected in their stead. The proceedings in the Fortyv-fourth district were enlivened by the ousting of the commitiee appointed by Chairman Sullhivan to conduct the election. The orty-fourts Assembly District club, rep- resenting that there were some dissentions ength in the general committee. Recog- | Rainey had_a majority of the dis- | James J. Dogan; secretary, H.

J. ‘Harrigan, George Stout, William Orteflt. As the hour of half-past 7 approached and the polls were about to be opened, J. J. Degan, president of the district club, cailed a meeting of the club, the members being present in the room in large num- bers. He then asked the committee if they would, upon the closing of the polls, certify the result to the club. 5 Frank Huga for the committee said they would not do so; that they would take the box back to the headquarters of the committee, as he understood such were his instructions. Degan then said there was another ticket than the red ticket to be votea, and proposed that the club appoint two men and the committee appoint two, repre- senting both tickets, they to count the bal- lots. “That red ballot was prepared by the general committee,” id George Maxwell, speaking of the matter last night. ‘It does not represent this district. We had no objection to it _being voted, but the Democratic club of this district had regu- larly nominated another ticket and in- tended to see that it should have fair play. They sent its nominations to the general committee with $25 to pay the expense of having the tickets printed. We have the receipt of the secretary for that money, but, as I say, they 100k -upon themselves to make up an entirely dii- ferent ticket, leaving off many of the names of our nominees. Furthermore, they brought up a polling list containing | over 640 names, while there were only 442 | regularly rezistered and entitled to vote. | That is the reason of our action to-night.” | ‘The life seemed to have been crushed | out of good old-time Democratic primary | politics in the Twenty-ninth District. The | election there last night was but a shadow 1n comparison with former primaries. There was to have been a confict between Nat Seelig, who represents the Fire De- partment and the Mint, and Sam Braun- hart. Seeliz had nominated six extra names for the ticket, with the belief that | thirty-one names would be printed. The Junta, however, announced some days ago that only twenty-five names would be nted, and that left Seelig out in the cold. ¥ Lhe litile crowd gathered in a hall on the ground floor last evening, and when the time for opening the vallot had arrived a clever trick was played on the dpposi tion, that is, Seelig’s men. The secretary remarked that it was time to open the { window to let the crowd outside vote. No sooner were the words uttered than Seelig and his friends made for the street. They found two boys peering through the window and later that the door was closed agaiust them. So a fight for the ballot-box or ballots was out of the question. Four stalwart policemen_helped to strengthen this conclusion. The voting passed off quietly, though only eighty-one votes out of the 900 registered in the district were cast, and haif of those were ciaimed as stuffers. They were a singularly good-natured lot of Democrats who took an interest in the primary elections in the Thirty-fourth District at Harmony Hall on Mission street, near Thirteenth. They had a de- cided disagreement over thie whole busi- ness, which proved to be on the comic | order. To begin with, the ticket nominated in regular manner by the district committee Fevruary 7 and duly presented at the Junta’s headquarters was not -printed by the Junta managers. J. H. McCallum, s , Daggett | secretary of the district committee, called at headquarters in the aiternoon for the ballot-box, tickets.and rolls, He was told that the ticxets would not be ready until 6 p. M. He callea again at 5, when it wa stated that George E. Gallagber had re- ceived the ti them ready at 7:30 P. M. Gallagher was on hand when the polls were to be opened, and so was a majority of the district committee. McCallum saw at a glance that a trick had been played at | headquarters, for the ticket had = been changed so he hardly recognized it. He called a meeting of the committee in the absence of the chairman, R.J. Luttinger, who declined to serve, and it was decided to sit upon the ballot-box until J. j. Borden and John Heenan, a committee, went to headquarters with a protest. The district committee would accept only tke “official ticket.”” £ J. B. Williams demanded the right of | voting, which was denied. He then de- manded the ballot-box, and the crowad all laughed heartily. Whereupon Williams improvised a ballot-box from a starch box and bossed the district election. Four votes werecast and the box was sealed with great solemnity. The seal was signed by J. B. liams, J. K. Bell, C. Witoeck and J. F. Kirby. The tight was for George Gallagher of the Deuprey committee, and he got seven or eight names on the ticket. The names rejected were: J. H. McCallum, chair- man; J. F. McElroy, secretary; John Heenan, corresponding secretary; James Mee, J. J. Borden, Mat. O'Brien, John McGuigan, canvassing committee; J. Mc- Neil, Joseph Cruze, J. E. O'Brien and R. L. Mann, general committee. Four votes were cast for the ‘‘regular” pink anti-Rainey ticket, cleverly prepared at headquarters, and sprung when the time for balloting begun.

Two Ladies Held Up on the Cor- ner of McAllister and Jones Streets. B. Carleto; A Shabbily-Dressed Young Man Tried to Grab a Purse and Struck One in the Face. One of the most daring attempts at high- way robbery ever attempted in this City occurred last night on McAllister and Jones streets in front of the Hibernia Bank. Mrs. Rix, 406} Tenth street, and Mrs. Kelly, 25 Ellis street, were standing on the corner waiting for a car about 7 o’clock. The streets in the vicinity were crowded with people at the time, and the ladies were chatting pleasantly, never dreaming that they were being closely watched by & shabbily-dressed voung man. Justas a McAllister streetcar approached the cross- ing the young man walked hurriediy up to the two ladies, and addressing Mrs. Rix, the elder of the two, who had her purse in her hand, said, “Throw up your nands——quick.” Mrs. Rix was completely taken by sur- prise, but as soon as she was able to speak she blurted outr, “I baven't got any money.” The young fellow made a grab for her purse, and she drew her hand quickly behind her back. He struck hera violent blow in the face with hisclenched fist, and she staggered into the roadway. Mis. Kelly screamed, and several men who were on the opposite side of the street rushed over to see what was the matter. The young fellow had followed Mrs. Rix, but when he saw the men coming toward him he turned and ran north on Jones street. He bad made good his escape before the ladies were able to tell what he had done. The two ladies went {o police headquar- ters and reported the attempted robbery. Mrs. Rix’s face bore evidence of the blow she had received, and she was smarting with pain and anger. They were unable to give any better description of the young man than that he was shabbily dressed, very pale faced and looked like a “dope fiend.”” They thought they could recog- nize him again. *‘When he asked me to throw up my hands,”” said Mrs. Rix. “I thought for the moment he was fooling me, but he looked s0 wild and ro desperate that I quickly changed my mind. Idid not expect the young scoundrel wouid have struck me in sport was uneventful. Six races were run off, of which favorites captured three. About the hest performance of the day was that of Wheel of Fortune in the mile and a sixteenth handicap. Harvey’s mare was a6 to 5favorite in the betting, and 1cking up 114 pounds, waited on Peter the gecond and St. Lee to the stretch, when Chorn let out a link and gradually assum- ing the lead won easily by two lengths in the fast time of 1:47}¢. St. Lee, who ran an excellent race, carrying ninety-five Yzflnds, was second, three lengths before zan. Rebellion was again made a hot favor- ite, gomng to the post a 7 to 5 choice for the opening five and a nalf furlong dash with elleven facing tke flag. He was injudl- ciously handled through the stretch by Garner and _finished second, & couple of lengths behind Model, the second choice. Governor Budd ran a fine race, finishing a bang-up third. 3 Colonel Wheeler again demopstrated his superiority over the other two-year-oids, winning at the track by downing a field of HAD SPEED IN' RESERVE, Wheel of Fortune Easily Dis- posed of a Small Field in the Handicap. FAVORITES TAKE THREE RUNS. Colonel Wheeler Took Another Race | in a Gallop—May Day Was First in a Hard Drive. The five-furlong scramble for maidens was a red-hot betting affair. The Sacra- mento delegation were down hard on Snowdown, sending him to the posta 11 to 5 favorite. San Marco was heavily backed on stable information at 13 to 5, with Mr. Reel in good demand at threes, Imp. Agrippina took the lead when the flag fell, setting a hot pace, witn the fav- orite second under a wrap. The’ outsider struck the stretch with a good lead, fol- lowed by Snowdown, Mr. Reel and San Marco. ‘The first choice stopped on the wire, and Martin on San Marco slipping through next the rail looked a likely win- ner. e tired the last fifty yards and was beaten out by both Mr. Reel and the out- sider, Agrippina, the three finishing heads apartat the wire. The winner, Mr. Reel, was well ridden by Garner. _The fifth event, a mile run over the in- side course, was another well-contested race. Thirteea started, with Hy Dy a 13 to5 favorite, E. H. Shirley was second choice at threes, with May Daya strongly tipped third choice at 414. The course is fourteen in the three and a half furlong dash. Startinga 3 to 5 choice, he was in front before the stretch was reached and 5 won hands down from the 30 to 1 outsider, past the crowd at the track simmered down Alma Dale.

Shirley looked a winner up to the last few yards, when Cochran brought May Day up with a rush and in a hard drive won by a head. Red Root came fast on the outside, taking third place. John Robbins’ mare Mollie R closed a 2 to 1 favorite in the betting on the last event, a five and a half furlong run, with thirteen starters. Framley took matters easy with her until straightened away for the wire, when he gradually went to the front, winning easily from Laura F, the second choice. Track and Paddock Items. Articus pulled up very lame at the con- clusion of his gace. Four out of six of the events on to-d: card will be sent away by the starting- rachine. Red Root, who finished in third place in the mile over the inside course, made up a vast amount of ground. Past the stand the first time he was one of the tail- enders. Barney Schreiber's mare, Laura F, was away from the post poorly in the last start or she might possibly have given the winner, Mollie R, a stronger argument. Fleet, a rank outsider among the starters in the last race, showed a sur- prising burst of speed, but was ridden with poor judgment and finished among the *‘also rans."” San Marco, who finished third in the maiden race yesterday, was a horse pur- chased by Pat Dunne at the Dwyer di time on account of sickness, but now promises to be a very useful horse. The first turn of the inside course isa most dangerous one, and sooner or later promises to be the scene of a bad accident. Riley Grannan enjoyed a very profitable day of it on the block. He held out most of the winners in his book and backed them on the outside. Lindendale was lame, which accounted for the long price laid against the filly in the two-year-old event. From what he has seen of the working of the starting-machine Starter C. H. Pettingill says he is very favorably im- pressed with the innovation.

On this subject Edward Fuller expresses himself in March Lippincott’s thus: If of art, the pseudo-realistic novel offends against the laws of decency. Ore is amazed sometimes at the fre- quency with which, in an age that shudders at the outspokenness of Shake- speare and shrinks from the plain- dealing of Fielding, stories only to be described as ineffably nasty are admitted to the chastestdrawing-room tables. Some- times these stories are written by young girls, who prattle with naive audacity of things they ought not to know; some. times they are written by zrown wo- men, who believe in emancipating their sex by depriving it of modesty; sometimes they are written by men, who have the hysterical tendencies | of women or who ‘are base enough to traffic in corruption.

NEED SAID TO BE PRESSING. Supervisors Requested to Place Pau. pers and Incurables in One Locality. The continued delay on the part of the Board of Supervisors in selecting a site for the hospital for contagious diseases has aroused the Board of Health to address ‘the City Fathers on the subject and urge that the matter be settled at an early date. A communication was addressed to the Supervisors yesterday in the following languag SAN FRANCIsco, February 24, 1896 To the Homorable the Board of Supervisor v and County of San Francisco—GEN : For some vears pest.all too many, the provision made for the eare and cure of per- sons suffering from infectious and contagions diseases in this City—the present so-called but incorrectly termed Pesthouse—has been &nd now is a disgrace to this community and to the present civilization. We have hitherto called the attention of your honorable body to the necessity, the im- portance and the urgency of some provision for those unfortunately afilicted with ep demic disease, which should be, if not entirely abreast of the most advanced scientific and humane requirements, at least not such as to offend every sense of justice and humanity to both those suffering from epidemic diseases and those whom they threaten. The of the incorrect term, pesthouse, as applied toa hospital for infections and contagious dis- cases, has given a general but erroneous im- pression throughout this community that such & hospital js & menace to the neighborhood, and even somewhat distant surroundings. This notion, bowever, is largely if not en- tirely erroneous, as there is but little likelihood of danger from the presence of any hospital if properly conducted, many of the largest and est hospitals in the largest cities of the worid being in the very heart of such cities, and all of them containing a department solely for such disesses as may become epidemic. Under these circumstances we hope your honorable body will no longer give to the pro- tests against the location of such a hospital that consideration which has hitherto entirely hospital any Your honorable body has charge of where. this City in this bebalf, and the protests of a few people in some isolated section should not outweigh the obligation due to those aficted, as a matter of common humanity, and to the bulk of the population who will be threatened by every epidemic unless proper provision is made before its arrival, We desire, therefore, to_ impress upon your honorable body again the paramount and vital duty of making prompt and adequate provision for the care and cure of persons who now or may suffer from some epidemic disease. The location of such hospital is secondary, its immediate erection somewhere is a dut volving on you which we desire to im | with all the ‘earnestness the subject itself de- mands. We wish to suggest, however, that there is no place in this City where children in | any number suffering from such diseases as | diphtheria and scarlet tever will be taken and | cared for, and we call your attention to he further fact that some four hundred of the in- of the race, Chevalier, who rode the winer, | 1qzious and infections diseases the possibilisy, wore spurs, and was protested on those | old race, finishing in front of Alma Dale | to the owners of Alma Dale but allowed | uestion arose then as | ifornia Jockey Club decided yesterday that | tremend ous res neither animal can again’ start in that | the didactic novel offends against the laws | mates of the Almshouse are really patients suffering from incurable diseases in order that | your honorable body may have in mind in the fixing for a location for a hospital for cor and, as we feel, the expediency and_desira: | bility of having both the poor and decrepit and the diseased who ere under the charge of the City authorities in_one locality, where they can receive better care at much léss cost than in their present scaitered and inadequate quarters. We have written your honorable body in this tone and in these terms because we feel the ponsibility of the situation. The long and fortunate freedom of tais City | from any epidemic diseases makes the chance of some such afiliction the greater and more probable, and we need not_emphasize to you the sheer 1mpossibility of making adequate provision after the scourge of some plague i3 upon us.
