THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 3, 1896. BEGULARS WERE JULY ELECTED Result of the Conteét in the Fifth Congressional l_)istrict. DEFAULT OF DENNERY.

DONNELLY WAS DISAPPOINTED " He Hust-Continue_ on His Ninety-Day Pilgrimage Where No Political P_eddlers Are Wanted, Edward Donnelly’s white vest shone . dazzlingly in J. E. Richards’ office in the Crocker building yeésterday morning. Its splendor was matched only by tae aristo- cratic gloss on Judge Waldheimer’s silk tile and by the brilliant political light in Major Bartlett's eyes. But it ‘was net-a day for brilliancy. Utility, not besuty; logic, not eloquence, were in the-ascendant, and the hopes of the coruscating trio, if hopes they had any,.crumbled to the ground like the petals of the last rose of summer left bloomirg alone. The regular Republican Fifth District Congressional Committee went into execu- tive session 'at 11 4. x. What a word of victory is that name ‘‘regular’! All its opoonents are ‘‘irregular,” there- fore illogical, illegal, inconsistent and im- moral. Conseguently, the committee, be- ing regutar, could not do anything irresu- lar, and, thereiore, decided that the regu- lar ticket at the récent primaries from that district had won, and that its dele- gates should be seated. ‘When this informration was conveyed to Mr. Donnelly. the diamond in his shirt- bosom paled and became for the first time of a cheap’ gtraw color; but it rallied when it ‘got out into the sunshine and turnea info-a gem of the first water, as did its wearer. g “*Ah,> sighed Mr, Donnelly, as he went down in-‘the elevator, “there’s nothing like pure politics.”’ Jndge Waldbeimer's silk tile grew a shade ‘more somber and less glossy. He is a’man of buoyant- spirits and - disguised his disappointment by making a classjcal speech’ to his colleagues. * Burke, Pitt, Fox, Grattan, Curran, Webster, Ingersoll and Wendell Phillips were left at the foot of the class when the Judge turned loose. Butit was all in good nature, and the merry twinkle in the Judge’s eyes proved that be didn’t mean .what ke said and was only’ practicing. The committee draited the following re- port to the press for pnblication : Report: anil-Certificale, of the Bepublican Con. it the ressional Con Congressional Ditrict of the State of California, to the Republi- can State-and_ District Conventions: We, the undersigned sers of the regular Repubii- can Congressional Committee of the Fifth Con- gressional 7 hereby transmit & report of the proceedings of said committee, had in pursuance of the reso- stionof the Republican State Central Com- ittee, duly and regnlarly adopted on the 29th day of February, 1896, and do hereby particu- larly transmit all matters relating to such cone tests as have come before said committee, d_resolution, together with i . thereof, and 1at in accordance with on of the State Central Committee, and on the 7th dy of March 1896, at A meeting of the members of the said State Central Committee trom the Fifth Con- gressional District Ireld in the city of Red- Wood, county of Sen Mateo, and by resotution then and there duly and regularly adopted, the following-named persous were duly and regularly constituted. membersof this Con- gressional Committee of the Fifth Congres- stonal District, to wit: Robert L.

That on the 20th day of April, 1896, there was filled before this committee a contest re- hul;llg to the electton of delegatesin and for the Thirty-seventh Assembly District; that on the 23d day of April, 1896, there was filed be- fore this committee ‘a confest relating to the election of delegates from the Fortieth Assem- bly District; that upon the iling of said_con- test this commitiee took cognizance of the same and at a regular meeting thereof ap- pointed Wednesday, Apeil 20, 1896, as the day or the hearing upon said contest; that on said last-named date the said hearing upon saia contest for the said Thirty-seventh and Fortieth Assembly districts was had before this committee, which then and there pro- ceeded with the hearing thereon and received testimony and evidence, oral and documen- tary, with relation thereto; that by mu- tual consent of the respective contest- ants the hearing of the contest over the primary election in the Fortieth District was first heard by this committee. That at the hearing of said contest in said Fortieth Assembly District this committee gave the fullest opportunity to the contestants therein to establish any fact tending to prove the.illegality of said election, or the right of said contestants to seats in said conventions, as the legally elected delegates thereto. That upon such hearing it clearly appeared to this committee that for the regular ticket at said primary election there was polled for each of the delegates thereon 935 votes. That the op- position ticket, upon which were the names of said contestante, recelved thereat seventy- five votes. It further appeared to said com- mittee that the election officers conducting the same endeavored in good faith to hold and conduct a legal election and to prevent fraudu- lent voting thereat. It was conceded at said hearing and by said contestants that whatever irregularities might have occurred during said election would not change the Tesult thereof, and that the said regular ticket received a e majority of the bona fide votes cast at said election in said distriet. It is further admitted by said contestants that the count of the votes cast at said election in said district was hon- esty and fairly conducted, and that all of the ballots castin favor of said contestants were properly counted. In view of these admissions on the part of said countestants this committee has found and now reports that the !ollowhu{- named persons are the duly elected and quali- fied delegates from the Fortieth Assembly Dis- trict to said State and District conventions, and es such are entitled to seats therein: Max Brooks, William Wilkinson, W. L. Cole, B. D. Pike, John C. Nobmann, H. W. Miller, Bert F. Miller, John B. Carson and Thomas Eager. The committee further reports that after the hearing of the said contest in the said Fortieth Assembly District it proceeded with the hearing of the contest in the said Thirty- seventn Assembly District; that at said hear- ing and in support of said contest there & peared certain gentlemen, residents of said district, smong whom were E. T, Donnelly, J. E. Fleld and M. J. Waldheimer; that in oppo- sition of said contest and in support of the regular ticket at said primary election ap- peared also several gentlemen, residents of said district, among whom were J. Alva Watt and the candidates upon said regular ticket; that all of these gentlemen, representing said contest and the opposition thereto, appeared to said committee to be Republicans’ of stand- ing, prominence and respectabiiity in said dis- trict and to be of that class of citizens who would not willfully conduct & frauduient or il- legal primary election or countenance the commission of fraud and illegal voting thereat; that every facility was accorded to- both sides in said contest to present to this committee all of the evidence which they possessed in support of and in opposition to said contest, and & full hearing wes had b said committee of such evidence. From sai evidence and from the admisslons of both sides to said contest it appeared to this com- mittee that there had been certain irregulari- ties in the conduct of said election on the part of the adberents of both tickets voting thereat; that there had been illegal votes cast thereat; but to what extent or for which of the tickets this committee was unable, from the evidence vresented before it, to determine. That it did not appear to this committee, from the evi- dence adduced before it, that there was suffi- cient illegal voting at said election to change theresult thereof, as certified to thiscommittee by the said county committeeman conducting s8id election. Th: the returns and certificate of said County Committeemen show that the regular ! atsaid election in said Thirty-seventh Assembly District received 1232 votes, and that the opposition ticket received 135 votes. That this committee therefore reports and cer- tifies that the toregoing named persons are the duly and regularly elected delegates to said district and State couventions from the said Thirty-sevenih Assembly District, and as such are entitled to seats in said conventions, nemely: C. O. Burton A. Wentworth, John H iegler, John H. G A. J. Raisch, James Alva Watt, Fred Eggers and John Gallagher. it further appeared to this committee that the contestanis in said district had not, prior to seid hearing upon such contest, had access to the poll-lists and tally-sheets of the precinct officers conducting said election, ana that prior to said hearing they haa notdemanded the same. That this committee has placed at the disposal of said contestants the said poll- lists and tally-sheets showing the number of votes cast thereatand the names and residences of each and every voter who is claimed o have voted at said election. Thet with such facilities the said contestants have the meaus of determining who were in fact the bona fide voters at said election, and whether there were sufficient illegal votes cast thereat to change the result as certified to this committee, and also whether there had been an illegal count of the votes castat said elec- tion in favor ofsald contestants, and whether all of the votes which were cast in favor of the ticket of said contestants had beeu fairly #nd honestiy counted, and this showing has not been made before this committee by said contesiants. This committee further reports thaton the 20th day of April, 1896, there wes filed with this committee certain reported eredentials signed by one Leon Dennery relating to a pri- mary election gnrlyoning 10 have been con- ducied by said Dennery in the Forty-first Assembly Distriet; that on the day set for hearing of &1l contasts and other matters re- lating to said_primary election, nor at any other time, did said Dennery or any one in his behalf appear in support of said creden- tials or make any showing before this com- mittee that said alleged primary election con- ducted by s Dennery was a legal primary election, or that said Dennery had any right to conduet the €ame or thai delegates were entitled or the delegates purporied to have been elected thereat, were entitled to seats in said conventions. Your committee, therefore, find that the said delegates named in the credentials of said Dennery have no rights whatever as delegates to said conventions, or either of them, and are notentitled to seats therein.

Instructions From the East—New Head- quarters on Market Street. The recently selected State executive committee of the Bocialists' Labor party hassent to the national body at New York a notification that it has been established. Being the first of its kind on the Pacific coast the executive committee asked for instructions as to the methods of proced- ure in ways political under the regulations and plans of the national organization, the headquarters of which are located at 64 East Fourth street, New.York. Under the Socialist Labor party the meth- ods of procedure differ materially trom those of the other political parties. It is believed that these instructions will zeach San Francisco within ten days. Then the work of organizing in the Assembly dis- tricts of the city and forming sections and branches throughout the State will be begun. _ At the last meeting of the executive committee E.T. Kingsley was elected as State organizer and his election will, no doubt, be confirmed by the local branches, as he was the only nominee in the field. Kingsley and Costley were appointed as a committee to select new headquarters for the State executive committee and the county committees. The State organizer and county organizer, 8. Seiler, will have their 5 in the mew quarters. In al robability quarters will be selected on lgarnt street between Fifth and Ninth, Besides the offices and committee-rooms room, whors books and economny an socialism :1.1 be kept for members. fra Sl AR Wi i} LR ‘ SWEETS 10 THE SWEET, The Rose Show at the Palace Drew Many Flower Lovers. WHO SECURED THE PRIZES. Full List of Awards—A Large Num- ber of Choice Varieties Developed. That the Floral Fair was an artistic, financial and social success as well was more than proven by the multitude that crowded Marble and Maple halis of the Palace Hotel yesterday. Five hundred tickets were presented at the door during the afternoon and in the evenirg, the reception rooms adjoining the halis in which the display was held had to be pressed into service. Exclamations of praise for the varied flowers were heard on all sides and every variety of bloom found its knot of en- thusiastic admirers. The amateur display was especially fine and excited unlimited interest. The opinion of the judges and public as wellis that this year’s display is quite the finest ever made by the Floral So- ciety. Previous exhibitions may haye shown larger quantities, but all agree that for variety and quality the iair of '96 has never heen excelled. Certain it is that this exhibit has done much_to arouse interest in the California State Floral Society, and that for the past few days applications for membership have been pouring in. The feature of yesterday's exhibit was the display of California wildflowers, and to Mrs. W. 8. Chandler, a prominent member of the Floral Bociety, belongs much of the honor. This lady displayed 200 varieties of the native flora, many of which were for the first time classified and exhibited. In the collection were such rare species as the Clintonia, the Calachwmtus Alta, three different varieties of water violets and some exquisite specimens of Nemo- phile, commonly known as baby-blue- eyes. Mr. W. H, Weister made a magnificent display of California poppies. These flow- ers were unusually Jarge—measuring five inches in dismeter. Another object of interest to the flower lovers was the new rose displayed by C. J. bhatton of Petaluma. The blossom shown was of & delicate white, with I st the fuint- est flush dyeing the tips of the delicate petals. The new rose partakes something of the nature of the and is still un- named. - Inmates of the Lick Old Ladies’ Home and 150 little folks from the Ladies’ Pro- tection and Relief Society were the guests of the association during the day, and went away with their bands full of bright flowers. The following prizes have beem awarded by the judges to the satisfaction of exhib- 1tors and public alike: AMATEURS.

A verdict of accident was returned. In the case of Daley, who wes found dead in his room, 703 Stockton street, on the 27th ult., a verdict of ide wes rendered. Verdicts of accidents were returned in the cases of Hoben and Riley. Hoben died atthe Prescoit House from asphyxiation by gas, and Riley fell into the bay from the Brannan street wharf. COMERTON WLL COME The Great Christian Endeavor Conference to Be Held Here. First Step to Raise Funds—A Lecture at the Third Congregational Church. That the great International Christian Endeavor Convention will be held in San Francisco in 1897 is now an assured fact, and steps are being rapidly taken by the various societies in this City to raise the necessary funds to take care of this great convention. The first society in this City to take ag- gressive steps is the Third Congregational Society on Fifteenth street, Rev. William Rader pastor, which is arranging for a finely illustrated lecture to be given by Professor G. Wharton James. It is en- titled “Into the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River, Arizone.” 1 1 this lecture were to be given in any larce Eastern city, it would need no com- ment from the press, forit is considered by many to excel any of Stoddard’s lect- ures, whose fame is 8o well known in the lecture world. Professor James has taken sixteen different trips into various parts of the canyon, and the illustrations shown will be from photographs mainly from his own camera. e Professor James will doubtless have a large andience to greet him upon his firse appearance in this City for nine years on Tuesday evening, May 5, when he will give his famous lecture at the Third Con- gregational Church. The price of ‘admis- on being only 25 cents—no reserved ats—the large auditorium, itis thought, should be well filled, not only with ip- deavorers, but all those who are interested to hear of this wonderland, about which 80 litule is now known, Stolen Harness. Charles E. Newman, & teamster, swore out a warrant in Judge Joachimsen’s court yester- day for the arrest of Matthew Gibson, another teamster, on the charge of burglary. New- man’s stable, on Eleventh and Folsom streets, was entered by burglars on_September 10 last and about $300 worth of ess stolen. A iew days ago he claims thet he saw a set of the stolen Lman on & horse driven by Carl Van Tiedemann. After nt ing he said he found that Van Tiedemann had bought the harness from Gibson.

TO GIVE MORE MEN WORK. This Important Subject Will Be Dis. cussed at a Big Mass-Meeting To-Day. The preliminary work of the grievance committee and the business agents of the Building Trades Council toward inforeing a strict observance of the working card, union rules, a standard rate of wages and the eight-hour work day, still goes on and there may be lively times to-morrow when the first blow is struck. There are non- union and mixed jobs in the building trades line all over the City, and a large number of union workingmen at the same time idle. The latter will be used as a bat- tering-ram to force the former into line. Yesterday morning the seventeen com- mittees of the unemployed, selected at the meeting at 115 Turk street the day before, held a meeting and received final instruc- tions as to their duties. The committees, under the direction of their chairmen, were sent out to their respective districts to canvass every job, so that the heads of the movement may know exactly what jobs to strike and wi ones, thoee union- ed, to let alone. In order that the masses affiliated with the council may understand fully the nature of proceedings an order has been issued for every member of Carpenters’ Union 22, Carpenters’ Union 304, Carpen- ters’ Union 483, the Amalgamated Carpen- ters' Union, Painters’, Plasterers’, Lath- ‘Wood-workers’ Unions to assemble at 115 Turk street, at 2:30 o’clock to-day. The call is issued to the emploved as weil as to the unemployed, as matters of importance re to be aiscussed. In the first place the aims ana objects of the movement will be fully explained and the union men will be instructed as to how they shall act to~ morrow when the strike committees arrive upon the jobs, One imperative order will be impressed upon the minds of the union men, and that is that they must obey at once an order by the committees to sirike and leave a job, and to report the fact to the chairman of the committee, so that the record of ings may be kept at headquarters. Another im: nt matter will come u; P for consideration in view of the oversup- plied condition of the labor market. It will bein the shape of a demand on the art of the unions for a half holiday on gllfll’dly for all men at work. Ashas been stated the number of union working men in the City at the present time by far exceeds the demand of the labor market. The serious question of what shall be done to alleviate the distress among the unem- ployed, nearly all of whom are first-class workmen in their crafts, now confronts the_ affiliated unions of the Building trades. Thereis no doubt but that a per capita tax will be levied upon all members who have employment, but the fund thus created will be taxed for the purpose for which 1t is to be created—namely, assisting those who will be made helpless by reason of being called out on strike. This tax and fund cannot and should reach further, so ways and means must be devised for finding employment for those first mentioned. It is believed that by cutting off half a day from each week the natural consequence will be that those men will find work in the long rum, thus relieving much aistress. In nearly all of the European cities the half holiday on Saturday has been observed for a long time and this custom was originated to meet just such an emergency as now con- fronts the laboring classes of this City. Not only will the subject be discussed at ers’, Glaziers', Laborers’ and Amalgarated |. the mass-meeting to-day, butit will be car- ried into every union in the building trades. In order thatall its members, employed or nnemplgg:d, may be provided with a working card Carpenters’ Union 22 has de- cided that all its members not in arrears in their dues can have cards. These will be given out at the union’s bureau at 23 Ninth street. Last evenlnf a number of the chairmen of the committees were at headquarters and the general tone of their reports were encouraging. That is they were well re- ceived by the building contraciors on the buildings, who received them kindly and spoke encouragingly and promised sup- port. A number of mixed jobs were found ‘where the non-union men promised to join the unions. All of these men who send in their applications accompanied by their initiation fees will be furnished with per- mits to continue work until the next meet- ln'i~ of the union of their choice. here are several jobs that will have to be struck early to-morrow morning. For instance, the union men will be called off a building on Twenty-ninth and Mission streets, where non-union tinners are doing metal roofers’ work. Another is on Twen- ty-fourth and Howard streets, where a few non-union carpenters are employed. On McAllister and Lyon streets there is a job where there will be trouble over the wages. According to the Carpenters’ Union rules the minimum is $3 for eight hours’ work, but the contractor last night would only pay his men $275. Several contractors who pay less than the standard wages have the frick of giving each man a sealed envelope containing his wages. To rrevent some of the men from accepting less than others the council will insist that the union men open these envelopes in the presence of the oihers to show that the standard wages are paid, and a refusal to do so will be taken as an evidence of guilt, and the party refusing will be aisciplined by his union. The heaviest work of the committees will be on Ashbury Heights, the Western Addition and the Richmond districts, as there is more new buildings being con- structed there than in any other sections of the City. ————— RARE OLD CLOCK. Graduation Gift at Mills College ¥From the Cl: of 1896. It has become the custom for each gradu- ating class at Mills College to leave some distinctive souvenir asa parting gift to the college. The membersof the’96 senior class have been so fortunate as to secure a a fine, ancient, standing clock, bearing the imprint of ola Plymouth, and made before the American revolution. Having ticked away during the entire life of the Ameri- can Nation to thisday, its long slow-swing- ing pendulum, unhurried and never weary, has now begun to tick off in second-beats the life at Mills College. It speaks of times past unto times to come, and the class presents it to the college, where it may be seen and heard at its measured task in the corner of the entrance hail. At its base is an old footstove such as the gonnd dames of New England used to carry a cold chureh, filling it with coals from the hearthstone of the nearest neighbor, who made a special big fire on Sundays for that purpose. ———— The Bogart Concert. The announcement of Andrew Bogart's de- parture at an early date for Europe is heard with general regret. His rich barytone voice is so well controlled, yet without apparent effort or disagreeably ob- trusive art, o iresh, so elastic, warm and vig- orous he captivated meny audiences in San Francisco. Previous to his departure a last opportunity will be given of hearing him. A benefit concert will be given him, on May 14, at Metropolitan Temple, at which' many wells known musical people will assist, —————— Bitten by a Dog. Michael V. Burns, a boy living at 476 Jessie street, was severely bitten on the right arm by a dog vesterday afternoon. The dog was at- tached to a chain and was being led alorg Mis- sion street by a man. The dog while passing the boy sprang upon’ him, and before 1t wax puiled away had bitten him four times on the erm. The boy was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where his arm was atteaded to.
