16 THE SA VICTORY FOR CLEAN REPUBLICAN POLITICS, John D. Spreckels Triumphs in the Fourth Congres- sional District, FORGED PROXY EXPOSED Senator Mahoney’s Snap Satur- day Night Meeting in Behalf of the Railroad, LEGAL ACTION BY A MAJORITY The Regular Fourth Congressional Committee Chosen by Seven Votes Out of Eleven. The members of the Republican State Central Committee representing the Fourth Congressional District heid their first regular and legal meeting at 850 Mar- ket street last evening and created the regular Congressional committee for the Fourth District, which will have jurisdic- tion over the primary election for the selection of delegates to the State Conven- tion. As the committee chosen last night is one wholly different from the one an- nounced after the meeting held in the rooms of Senator J. H. Mahoney in the Baldwin Hotel last Saturday night, there may arise a conflict of authority in the Fourth District, or at least a good imita- tion of one, over the question of who con- stitute the Congressional committee of the Fourth District. This question can be settied only by a comparison of the meetings which ap- pointed the respective commijtees. It was shown at the meeting last night that the committee announced Saturday night as the committee for the Fonrth Congres- sional District was appointed by a minor- ity of the members of the State Central Committee, in which the creation of such a committee was vested at the meeting of the State Central Commit- tee last Saturday afternoon, and that the majority even of those present was ef- fected by the barefaced forgery of the proxy of a State Ceutral Committeeman who had received nonotice of the meeting. Such a forgery is probably beyond the jurisdiction of the Grand Jury, owing to the construction and bearingcf the stat- utes, but it is important to know the char- acter of the people who are trying to surge to the front at the opening of the cam- paign, and that political tricksters of the Mahoney and Martin Kelly type are out hustling for what tnere is in it in the name of Republicanism. The trick sought to be perpetrated last Baturday night was, further, managed by political representatives of the rallroad company who are alert for advantage in a degree seldom exhibited before. The action of the majority of the State Central committeemen of the Fourth Dis- trict last night upsetting the action taken at their snap meeting of Saturday night is a victory over the railroad politicians and a victory for John D. Spreckels, who as a member of the executive committees of both the State and County Central com- mittees, and as a Republican leader is in- terested in the success and decency of the Republican party. The State Central Committee at its meeting last Saturday afternoon adopted a call for the State convention, which was in effect a call for seven Congressional convertions, the creation of which, by primary elections or otherwise, was given absolutely into the hands of the Con- gressional committees of the seven Con- gressional districts of the State. It was further provided that where such Con- gressional committees do not exist they should be created by the members of the State Central Committee representing such districts. In some districts such Congressional committees happened to have been created by the Congressional conventions held at the time of the last State convention, and in other districts no such committees had been appointed. The Fourth District was ore in which no Congressional committee existed, and so it became the duty and the power of the members of the State Central Committee representing the eleven Assembly districts composing the Fourth Congressional District to create a new Congressional committee of seven mem- bers, which should have exclusive and original power to call, and, if it pleased, to supervise and control a primary election in its district for the selection of delegates to the State convention. After the adjournment of the meeting of the State Central Committee last Saturday afternoon, Senator J. H. Mahoney and Martin Kelly proceeded to do politics as politics should be done according to their habit and understanding. The situation presented to Senator Mahoney the oppor- tunity to do politics since the time when one Sternberg and others steered false registration in 1894, and were defended in court under Mahoney’s direction, To Martin Kelly, of varied political in- famy, the opportunity was equal to and reminiscent of in many respects the time when he beat Bill Higgins three points and won his start in poiitics by capturing a south-of-Market-street political meeting by mounting a roof with a lot of firemen and dropping first Chinese bombs and then firemen through the skylight over the president’s table. It happened that last Saturday J. H. Maho: and Martin Kelly, who now NEW TO-DAY. THE SEGRET travel together by day and by night, de- cided to do politics by hustling together such of the State Central Committeemen representing the Fourth District as they might manipulate to their own ends. Each member of the State Central Com- mittee representing the Fourth District had as much authority to call a meeting as any of the other members. Senator Mahoney hustled out notices of a meeting of the delegation to occur at the Baldwid Hotel that evening and with Martin Kelly’s assistance a meeting was secured at which a forged proxy of Gus- tav Melsing of the Twenty-ninth District was offered by Jake Shaen and accepted without inspection or question. Jake Shaen’s yote on the forged proxy of a man who would have voted with a different ef- fect and who has since repudiated and condemned this use of his vote, gave the majority which named the committee ap- pointed at that snap meeting in the rooms of Senator Mahoney. At that meeting in Senator Mahoney’s rooms there were present of the eleven members of the State Central Committee from the Fourth District W. 8. Russell, I. S. Cohen, William Smadeke, J. H. Ma- honey, A. Ruef, John Martin and T. C. Duff. The proxy of J. G. Terryll was pre- sented by Frank Worth, the proxy of H. C. Summers was presented by C. C. Curry and the alleged proxy of Gustav Melsing was presented by Jake Shaen. By a vote of six to four the following committee, named in advance, was ap- pointed as quickly as the motion could be taken: W. H. Dimond, N. J. Williams, Jacob Levi Jr., A.P.Kearney, A. Barn- hard, W. T. Howe and J. 8. Spear. ‘With- out the forged proxy of Gustav Melsing but five out of the eleven members of the State Central Committee of the Fourth District would have been recorded in favor of this action. At the snap meeting last Saturday even- ing vigorous protests against the hasty and snap action, as well as against the fact that the committee named represented but three of the eleven districts, were pre- sented by Messrs. Duff, Curry, Cohen and Smadeke, but they were silently ignored and the vote declared. Since last Saturday night the members of the State Central Committee represent- ing the Fourth District have held consul- {ations, and last night’s meeting was a re- sult. The meeting of Saturday night in the rooms of Senator Mahoney gains no prestige because of its being the first one called. The general resolution of the State Ceniral Committee provides that the members of the State Central Committee representing any Congressional district shall create a Congressional committee when no such committee exists in such district. The members of the State Central Committee representing any district have no organization, no one memberis more empowered to call the delegation to- gether than any other, and the getting to- gether of the committeemen representing any district is hence a voluntary matter resting generally with the majority. Hence, if Senator Mahoney had succeeded in get- ting together six membersofthe committee the other night who would vote with him the action he steered in behalf of the rail- road campaign and “push’’ politics might have been held to be formally regular. But the meeting held at 850 Market street last night was attended by eight of the eleven members of the State Central Commiitee from the Fourth District, eitherin person or by proxy, and the action taken was the result of seven votes pres- ent. Those present were the following: Twenty-eighth District, W. 8. Russell; Twenty-ninth, Gustav Melsing; Thirtieth, 1. 8. Cohen; Thirty-first, William Smadeke (proxy to C. W. Kyle); Thirty- second, Thomas C. Duff; Thirty-third, H. C. Summers (proxy to Richard Spreck- els); Thirty-ninth, J. G. Terryll (proxy to R. P. Barton); Forty-second, E. C. Hughes (proxy to John T. Dare). The absentees were: J. H. Mahoney, Forty-third district: A. Reuf, Forty-fourth district, ana John Martin, Fourty-fifth district. The meeting organized by electing Thomas C. Duff chairman. Chairman Duff made a brief and strong state- ment, declaring this the first regu- lar and legal meeting of the delegation and declaring that at the meeting on Sat- urday evening he had found everything cut and drieq, and had entered a vigorous protest against the proceedings. After rollcall Gustav Melsing and John T. Dare were appointed a committee on proxies, On their report the proxies sub- mitted were accepted. Gustav Melsing thenaddressed the meet- ing in vigorous language, saying in the coursg of his remarks: “At the meeting last Saturday evening my proxy was accepted and voted entirely without my knowledge, authoriza- tion or willingness, acd I declare it- one of the most barefaced political outrages that I have known in my experience. Nobcdy was authorized to use my vote and I repudiate that action now as I have done ever since the meeting. The first knowledge I had of the meeting 1 gained from the papers next morning, and I learned that an outsider named Jake Shaen was there and voted on an al- leged proxy from me,” Chairman Duff, who was present at the meeting Saturday night, recited that a paper had been flourished for an instant, and had been declared a proxy from Mr. Melsing without being inspected. “However, 1 entered’my protest,” said Mr. Duff, “in behalf of my district. But Mr. Mahoney presented a number of names, which he said had been ‘indorsed by a number of good Republicans,” and be moved their appointment.” “I desire to say,’ said C. W. Kyle, “that any action that would voice the protest of the majority here assembled against ihe action of that meeting cannot be too strong. It " should be remembered that the State Central Committee did not ad- journ until late in the afternoon, and that a snap meeting, for which several dele; s were not duly notified, was held that evening, and the proceedings were What was done last Saturday night was practically done with four votes. The city of S8an Francisco cannot do other- wise than {ndorse the action of this meet- ing.” Mr. Dare then read the following resolu- tion, which was adopted by seven affirma- tive votes: ‘WHEREAS, The Republican State Central Committee of the State of Californis, at its meeting held on the 29th day of February, 1896, did adopt & resolution to the effect that the members of the State Central Committee from each Congressional district in which there is no Congressional committee should have power to appoint & committee of seven persons from the residents of such district to act as a Congressional committee thereof in whom should be vested all the powers given to such Congressional committees by the Na- tional Republican Central Committee, and whereas, on the evening of the said 29th day February, 1896, a portion of the members of the State Republican Central Commit- tee from the Fourth Congressional District attempted to hold a meeting of the members of said State Central Committee from the said Fourth Congressional District, and to appoint said committee of seven persons, as provided in said resolution, without having duly or at all notified the other members thereof to be present at said meeting; and whereas, the full menbership of the said portion of the State Central Committee were not notified of the time and place of said meeting and were not present thereat either in person or by proxy and said meeting and the proceedings had thereat were therefore illegal and void, be it therefore Resolved, That the action taken at saia meet- ing be and is hereby rescinded, and sll pro- ceedings and acts of said meeting are, and are hereby declared to be nuil and void and of no effect, and that the appointment thereby of the seven persons to serve as a Congressional committee for the Fourth Congressional Dis- trict be and is hereby revoked, recalled and set aside, and be it further Resolved, That the following-named seven persons, resident in the said Fourth Congres- sional District, be and tney are hereby ap- pointed as the Congressional Committee of the said Fourth Congressional District, with all of the powers vested and to be vested in such committees by the resolution of the National Republican Committee of December 14, 1895, and by the resolutions of the State Central Committee passed at the regular meeting thereof on February 29, 1896, to wit: Nicholas Ohlandt, Louis Pockwitz, George Pode, C. C. Bemis, R. Rasmussen, F. Arata, Henry Leffmann. DR, BODKIN IS DEFIANT He Infers That the Court-Martial Has Been “Fixed” by Daniels. The Surgeon of the Bear Will Now Bring the Case Before Secre- tary Carlisle. Dr. T. P. Bodkin says the court-martial in the case of Lieutenant Daniels and Dorry is trying to whitewash them. Heis the chief witness against the accused. He created a sensation yesterday by refusing to answer the questions asked him while on the witness stand and charging the court with being biased. Dr. Bodkin was the surgeon on the Bear during a trip to the north. He was em- ployed at $125 a month simply for the trip. He was much in the company of young Daniels, and in his official charges filed with the naval and treasury authorities avers that he found the officer to be gay, frovolous and even degrading at times; that Daniels got drunk, and other- wise acted in a manner unbecoming an officer of the United States revenue service. Lieutenant Ross is defending Daniels and it was with him that Dr. Bodkin had the war of words yesterday. Ross had asked the physician several questions which had been Erepured by Dr. Blue, who had testified that the accused had not suffered from a nervous disorder, and the witness had refused to answer them. He told Ross that he did not know what he was talking about. Ross got mad. 8o did Bodkin, and if the court-martial could have adjourned and cleared the deck there would have been a well-regulated *‘scrap.” Dr. Bodkin is not connected with the ser- vice, 80 he can speak freely. He said: I am not getting a square deal in the investi- ation of the charges against Daniels and orry. The officers are “whitewashing” the case. Lieutenant Reynolds does not know how to conduct an investigation. He never made an objection to a question propounded to witness by the defense, no matter how detri- mental it might have proved to the prosecu- tion’s case. e charges of drunkenness have already been whitewashed. In my letter to Secrebur{ Carlisle, I mentioned occasions in Oonslaske, Unga, Sitka and Port Clarence when these officers were intoxicated. The court has stated that these occasions referred to were when the officers had attended social affairs, but they have virtually dropped the charges as to Daniels and Dorry’s cangnc! and intoxication when they had not attended social affairs. I am disgusted at the manner in which this matter has been conducted. Ex-Carpenter Kane of the Bear testified that Daniels had been intoxicated on numerous occasions. On June 9, 1895, when the revenue cutter had reached the island of Unga, the lieutenant was very drunk, and left the Bear flourishing a bottle of whisky about his head. He (the lieutenant) went all over the island sing- ing in a wild and insane fashion. Dr. Bodkin sustained the evidence of the car- penter. The testimony was to the effect that Lieutenant Dorry was so druck on June 28, 1895, that he had to be carried from the quarterdeck to his bunk and cared for until he got sober. The sudden retirement of Dr. Bodkin was the sensation of the day. He declares that he will bring the charges directly before Secretary Carlisle. ITALIANS MOURN. The News From Africa Plunges the Latin Quarter in Gloom, The Italian colony of San Francisco was plunged into mourning yesterday by the sad news of the disasters in Africa. All aay little other news was discussed in the Latin quarter and the local Italian papers devoted almost their entire space to en- larging on the event. mmenting last night on the disaster L'Italia says: ‘It is lamentable above all for the poor victims uselessly and perhaps criminally sacrificed; our poor brothers, dead by thousands, without knowing how and why. 1tislamentable for the unfor- tunate mothersof Italy, who to-day, as we write, are weeping for the deaths of their loved ones, or worse still are tormented by doubt as to whether their sons have fallen or not, torn by the thought of the sufferings that the wounded may be suf- fering alone perhaps, or ill cared for on the horrible plains of the Dark Continent.” PACIFIC KENNEL CLUB.
