16 THE SA N CISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1896 CHECK-MATE FOR THE JUNTA' MEN Buckleyites of the Fourth | District Name Mr. Maguire. THEIR CAMPAIGN PLANS A Committee Named to Present the Full City Delegation’s Claim at Sacramento. STANTON ELECTED CHAIRMAN. i Merriment Over the Junta Gold Bugs’ Nomination of a Thorough- Going Silverite. When the 161 delegates elected to the Democratic State Convention at the recent anti-Junta primaries came together last | night in Pythian Castle it took them but | & short time to organize and arrange their plan of campaign for enforcing recogni- tion by the Sacramento convention. Then Senator M. J. Donoven cast an ap- ple of discord into the meeting by present- | ing a set of resolutions denouncing the Junta for nominating a candidate for Con- gress from the Fourth Congressional Dis- | trict in the person of Hon. James G. Maguire and recommending that the t‘regulars” of the district nominate the | same gentleman for the same honor. | This threw wide open the fountain of | eloquence, and in the gush that followed the Junta was reviled, Maguire lauded and the Buckleyites painted as the creme de Ia creme of the local Democracy and its only “regular’ representatives. After an hour or more of this pastime | the Donovan resolutions were carried with but a few dissenting votes, and, later, the 5 Fourth District Convention met and regu- larly nominated the man with whose re- flected prestige they hope to make favor at Sacramento. | Chairman Rothschild callea the delega- | tion to order and announced that nomina- tions for chairman of the delegation were in order. Dr. James L Stanton was elected by acclamation. Chairman Stanton plunged immediately into the business of the meeting by stating | that it was for the purpose of arranging plans for securing recognition of the dele- gation at Sacramento. | . J. Donovan filed the credentials of | the delegation with the chairman and stated that a copy of them had been for- warded to the Democratic State Centrai Committee. William F. Humphreys was _elected sec- retary of the delegation by acclamation. A. J. Clunie stated that he believed the first thing necessary to secure the recogni- tion of the delegation at Sacramento was | that the pledge taken by the voters at the primaries should ve indorsed by the dele- gation. He asked for the readingof the pledge and it was duly read. Itimposes support of a free: ver measure and opposes the refunding of the debts of the Central and Union Pacific railroads. A motion was made and carried to in- dorse this pleage and also the candidacy of Hon. W. W. Foote, Senator Stephen M. White and Congressman James G. Maguire as delegates at large to the Demo- cratic National Convention. Joseph Rothschild moved that a com- mittee of seven be appointed to present of the delegation before the tee on credentials at Sacramento. s adopted after being amended by increasing the number of the committee to fifteen. Senator Donovan sprang something of a surprise in _the introduction of the follow- ing resolution: WHEREAS, The band of disorganizing con- spirators controlled by Mr. McNab on last Monday night in secret meeting at the orders of Mr. McNab nominated the Hon. J. G. Maguire for Congressin the Fourth Congres- sionel District; and wheress, said action seems strange after ‘the said band of conspirators | hed al its meeting a few days previous refused | to consider the name of the Hon. J. G. Maguire | for even an indorsement as a member of the | Democratic National Convention under the orders of McNab, he saying that Judge Maguire had done nothing for the | Junta; and whereas, ‘the Hon. J. Mag: did on November 20, 1895, guirs B'nai B'rith Hall brand the statement tha: the i general committee had adjourned sine die in | Metropolitan Temple and thet the conspira- | tors beaded by McNab had any legal or moral | right to claim to represent the Democratic | party as false snd without foundation in fact, and whereas, the Honorable J. G. Maguire did reaffirm these statements in a telegram from nis seat in Congress in the Capitol of the United States, Washington, D. C., on March the 16th of this vear, and whereas, this sud- den change of the leading conspirators was brought about only by the Democrats who are | following them and whom they are mislead- ing, discovering their worship of gold and the corporate interest and loudly denouncing their action in this matter and force them un- willing to a change of front, which change was made only that they might dupe them the better, and whereas, the said lead- | ing conspirator was expelled from the reorganized Democracy, over the _des- | tinies of which the Honorable J. J. Dwyer and the Hon. J. F. Sullivan presided for betraying the party and opposing the Hou. J. | J. McDade for Sheriff, a gentleman he was | ledged to support, and; whereas, the leading conspirator who whipped the rest of the disorganizers around did in the Democratic State Convention held in the Baldwin Theater in the month of Au- gust, 1894, place in nomination the Hon. J. G. Maguire ior Governor of this State, while he had at the same time in his pocket the proxy of the Hon.Jumes H. Budd, another candidate for Governor, and in coming down from the platform through the audience after placing Maguire in nomination, did tell his iriends to vote for Budd; therefore be it Resolved, That we believe it to be the inten- tion of the conspirators under this man’s con- trol to encompass the defeat of the Hon. J. G. Maguire for Congress and thus deprive the people of a powerful advocate of their inter- ests and remove from the way of the goldbugs and the associate Corporations thelr most dan- gerous opponent, and 1n this we claim to be justified beyond' doubt by the record of this NEW TO-DAY. ‘WOoMEN AND WoMEN ONLY are most com- petent to fully appreciate the purity, sweet- ness, and delicacy of CuTICURA SoaP, and to discover new uses forit daily. To cleane, purify, and beautify the skin, to allay itch- ing and irritation, to heal chafings, excoria- tions, and ulcerative weaknesses, nothing so pure, 50 sweet, 80 specdily effective as warm baths with CuTICURA S0P, followed, when Decessary, by mild applications of CUTICURA (ointment), the great skin cure. their master in the past as shown at every op- portunity. Resolved, That we indorse the candidacy of the Hon. J. G. Maguire for delegate-at-large to the Democratic Nutional Convention to be held in Chicago, and_pledge him our votes for sald honor in_ the Democratic State Conven- tion to be held in Sacramento on the 16th of une. Resolved, That we take a recess of half an hour and that during said recess recommend the Fourth Congressional District to organize and nominate the Hon. J. G. Maguire for Congress. Resolved, That after the Hon. J. G. Maguire isnominated for Congress that it is the duty of each and every member of this delegation and of the Democratic party of this County generally to watch the conspirators and their Jeader to see that tiey do not betray Judge Maguire, as their master did the Hon. J. J. McDade, though unsuccessfully, and as he did the Hon. James G. Maguire successfully less than two years ago. Tom Gallagher spoke against the advisa- bility of nominating Maguire at this time and advocated that he be simply indorsed until the delezation was properly and authoritatively seated by the action of the State Conventibn, and concluded by mov- ing to strike out that clause which recom- mended the immediate nomination of Maguire. Donovan combatted this view, claiming that the delegation was properly elected and was the legal and regular representa~ tive of the Democratic party of San Fran- cisco. Rothschild supvorted the amendment, alleging that it would be in baa taste to make the nomination before the delega- tion was duly recognized by the State Convention. He further declared that the Junta’s action in nominating Judge Ma- guire for Congress was wholly null and without value. He advocated the post- ponement of action on' this matter until after the State Convention. Walter Gallagher created some merri- ment by referring to the fact that the Junta goid bug delegation in nominating Maguire for Congress had nominated a man well- known to be in favor of free coinage. He designated the action of the Junta in | nominating Maguire as making a merit of necessity. T. Carl Spelling offered a substitute for the whole providing that Maguire be in- dorsed for the Fourth Congressional nomi- nation for Congress. This ‘was accepted by Tom Gallagher. Donovan declared he was ready to change the objectionable resolution so as to provide only for the indorsement of Maguire so as to meet the wishes of the more timid. Colonel O’Byrne opposed action at this time, saying that even if the delegation was refused recognition at Sacramento it could as an independent body nominate him. Andrew J. Clunie strongly advocated the immediate nomination of Maguire. He said that there was railroad influence at work to prevent the nomination of Maguire, and if the delegation did not act at once it would be inviting the stigma of being under tne collar of the Southern Pa- citic Company. Hecontinuep: *Let us nominate him now, and if we come back from Sacramento victorious we can nominate him again. But let us act now and show just where we stand. If you don’t take this action now you puta chain around the neck of the whole delegation when it zoes to Sacramento. Set aside all technicalities and nominate him.” M. G. Sears raisea a point of order that | only delegates of the Fourth District had | the right to speak on the matter under dis- cussion. Tom Gallagher stated that recognition at Sacramento would not be asked as a | fayor and because the delegation was friendly to Judge Maguire, but as aright. He added that the delegation was going before a prejudiced body at Sacramento, and that it would be much like a defend- ant being tried ,by a biibed jury. He therefore advised caution and wisdom. Chairman Stanton decided Sears’ point of order as not well taken, as the resolu- tion simply makes a recommendation and does not impose action. Donovan exhorted the delegates of the Fourth District to act us he desired, and told them it had gone out that they were not honest 1n their opposition to the fund- ing bill, norin their advocacy of Maguire's renomination. James H. O'Brien was desirous of being given a chance to vote for the nomination of Maguire, as he said he might not again have a chance to do so. Spelling’s suvstitute to indorse Maguire was lost, and Gallagher’s amendment to strike out shared the same fate. Donovan’s resolution was then adopted as presented by him, and Chairman Stan- ton then announced the following com- mittee to present the case of the delega- tion before the State Convention: Charles L. Ackerman, James H. O’Brien, Horace G. Platt, Henry Ach, Joseph Rothschild, M. J. Donovan, Reel B. Terry, William F. Humphre‘)y. J. C. Nealon, Peter F. Dunne, Andrew J, Clunie, Walter Gallagher, E. B. Young, Frank J. Fallon, %‘imomy Tracey. Chairman Stanton on motion of Roths- | child was added to the cammittee. P. A. Dolan moved for the adoption of the anti-A. P. A. resolutions adopted by the Buckiey General Committee. They were adopted without debate. Recess was then declared to allow the Fourth District delegation to carry out the behests of the Donovan resolution. The Fourth District Convention was called to order by Joseph Rothschild. Dr. Stanton was elected chairman and William F. Humphreys secretary of the convention. After the business before the convention was stated Timothy Tracey nominated Hon. James G. Maguire for Congressman, declaring in tne course of hus brief eulogy that if Congressman Maguire were to be taken up by the Democrats of the country he could be elected Presidentof the United States. £ All the resolutions adopted by the San Francisco delegation were indorsed, the secretary was instructed to telegraph Con- gressman Maguire of his nomination, and the Fourth District Convention was ad- journed to meet at the call of the chair. On the reconvening of the entire San Francisco delegation the following com- mittees to act in connection with the trip to Sacramento were announced : Transportation —J. C. Nealon, 0’Byrne, Thomas Glynn. Headquarters—Senator Donovan, Philip Bul- ger, John A. Steinbach. Badges—Timothy Tracey, D. J. Gavigan, J. H. O’'Brien. Adjournment was then taken to the call of the chair. Colonel Endeavorers Give a Concert. The Golden Gate Union Christian Endeavor gave a concert last night in the Y. C.

Trade and Labor Alliance. The Central Trade and Labor Alliance met last night. at its new headquarters, 102 O’Farrell street, every union represented in the allisnce being represented by delegates. A communication was recelvedy from the Building Trades Council calling the attention of the alliance to the boycott on the Parrott block and requesting the indorsement of the allisnce in the boycott against that building. The matter was reierred to the executive com- mittee to mvestigate. The alliance will meet again at the same place Friday evening, June 12, at 8 o’clock, when the report of the execu- tive committee will come up. The meeting was resided over by J. Less of the Barbers’ Union. ‘heodore Lynch of the Fraternity of Hoiel and Restaurant Employes acted as secretary of the meeting. —_—— Idea Bike Club Organized.

GATHERING SIGNATURES Only Lacks a Hundred Names of Enough to Run Inde- pendent. HIS FIGHT AGAINST HIS FATE. The Disbarred Attorney Will Make a Strong Personal Canvass for Votes. Horace W. Philbrook, the attorney, who is well known from the fact that he was disbarred by the Supreme Court of the State from practicing in any of the State courts because of his strictures on the de- cisions of California’s highest tribunal, and from the fight he made to be rein- stated, is to be a candidate for Judge of the Superior Court at the next election. Mr. Philbrook is nothing if not plentifully supplied with assurance, and will not ask the aid of any political party in his candi- dacy. Of course, he may not be able to get indorsement, but, be that as it may, heis out for a political job, and is notletting the grass grow under his feet either. All that is necessary for a man who as- pires for political honors to run indepen- dently is to get the signatures of 3 percent of the voters of the city in which he is to be a candidate to a petition in his behalf. Under the law this entitles him to recognition and a place on the official ticket, which is the only one under the Australian ballot system. For weeks past Philbrook has been in-' dustriously circulating a petition that he be allowed to run independently for Superior Judge. Tirelessly he has gone from office to office in the great office buildings of the town getting the signatures of men who had been his friends in the palmy days when his standing before the courts was good. Nor was his quest unsuccessful. Day after day the list of names has grown longer until he now has 1700 signatures. As he only requires 1800, and the business portion of the town has not nearly been worked ovaes, his prospects of getting on the ticket are good. As soon as the ticket matter is seitled Philbrook intends to go into the field to talk himself into office. I¢ is expected that he will rely much upon sympathy for his votes. Philbrook made a hard but ineffectual fight against the mandateof the court when the edict went forth that thereafter he was to be outside the pale. He attempted several times to begin practice, but the Superior Courts where he appeared as counsel obeyed the orders of the Supreme Court and refused to allow him to conduct litigation before them. Then Philbrook tried the plan of having claims assigned to himself and appearing as attorney for himself, but this did not turn out very satisfactory results. He finally abandoned the fight. The only place where he could carry on his profes- sion was the Federal courts .and here he appeared in a number of cases, notably the Garcelon trust litigation. DEADLOCK TO BE BROKEN. Plans for the Muniripal Building Will Be Awarded Within Two Weeks. For many weeks the question of deciding between competing architects plans for the new municipal building on Kearny street has been agitating the Board of Super- visors, and they have been unable to arrive at a decision. Yesterday a com- mittee of North End property - owners waited upor Supervisor Edward L. Wag- Edward L. Wagner. ner and, after detailing to him the dam- age that is being caused daily to the north- ern section of the City by the delay in commencing work upon the structure, urged him to make an effort to break the deadlock in the board. After listening to the statement of the committee Mr. Wagner said that he realized the injustice of the delay, and promised the committee that he wouid within two weeks bring about an under- standing whereby the plans would be awarded. The committee, after express- ing their heartfelt thanks to Mr. Wagner, retired, and afterward instructed their secretary, Robert E. McGregor, to arrange for a grand ratification meeting as soon as the plans are awarded. 3 For several weeks past the vote in the board has stood: Shea & Shea 6, W. O. Banks 5, and Mooser & Mooser 1, Super- visor Wagner being the one who voted for Mooser & Mooser. Seven votes are neces- sary for a choice. ol RS Matinee for Charity.

TWO POSTOFFICE ROBBERS CAUGHT, Inspector Gordon Makes What May Be an Im- portant Capture. A BIG GANG AT WORK. Over Thirty Robberies in Wash- ington and Oregon Within * the Past Year. HEADQUARTERS IN THE EAST. Neat Scheme Adopted by the Thieves to Secure the Contents of a Burglar-Proof Safe. Inspector Gordon has written Superin- tendent Munro informing him of the cap- ture at Rosalia, Whitman County, Wash., of John E. Adams and George E. Davis, accused of robbing the postoffice at Pull- man, Wash., May 20. In official circles it is regarded as one of the most important arrests made 1n months, for itis thought that they are at the head of the gang of postoffice robbers who have been making things lively during the past twelve months for the postmas- ters in the small towns of Washington and Oregon. From June 1, 1895, to the same date in the present year no less than thirty post- offices have been robbed of sums ranging from $5 to $1500. In addition to this two trains and two stages were held up and the mail rifled. The list of offices, with dates of robbery, is as follows: Jefferson, Or., June 4, 1895. Tenino, Wash., June 16, 1895, Amity, Or., June 16, 1895. Klamath Falls, Or., June 16, 1895. Brockaway, Or., June 20, 1895. Bultan, Wash., July 2, 1895. Riddles, Or., robbery of train, July 2, 1895. Topsy Grade, robbery of stage, July 3, 1895. Bossburg, Wash., July 25, 1895. Endicott, Wash., August 5, 1895. Elgin, Or., August 13, 1895. Endicott, Wash.. August 16, 1895. Weston, Or., August 38, 1895. 15\3 glubnrg, Wash., robbery, September 16, Wallula, Wash., robbery, September 27, 1895, i Rllscgsmond, Wash., wrecking train, October L Soden Dale, Wash., robbery, October 14, Pysht, Wash., robbery, October 14, 1895.

Pullman, Wask., obbery, May 20, 185, In addition to these other State affairs, the small towns of Northern California h., robbery, have been raided at different times, It is believed that the thieves, if organized, operate in two parties, and by working al- ternately they hoped to do away with any suspicion existing in the minds of the offi- cers that it was the work of professionals. On a few occasions they have robbed ad- joining towns, but the work was of the bungling character, evidently disguised. There is little doubt, so Inspector Gor- don says, but that Adamsand Davis have been working the small towns of Wash- ington and Oregon for some months. The robbery of the safe at Orting, Wash, April 30, and Puyallup, Wash., May 11, was along lines identical with the plan fol- lowed at Pullman twenty days later. A heavy quick blow knocked off the knob, and then with some peculiarly shaped in- strument the tumblers were reached and forced into their rightful places. It is thought that Adams and Davis work from some point in the East. The day prior to their arrest Davis addressed a letter to one Jacob Dashner of Detroit, his partner, sending a similar letter to Mrs. Sarah C. Adams, Indianapolis. Some years ago a man going under the name of Jacob Dashner gave the secret service agents a lot of trouble, owing to his ex- pertness in the counterfeiting line. 1t is believed that the Detroit man and the counterfeiter are the same. Telegrams have been sent to the Postmasters at the laces named, asking that they hold the etters above referred to. It is believed that the letters contain some reference to the recent robberies, and might possibly outline the thieves’ future operations. In any event the postal authorities are bighly elated over the capture of Adams and Davis, and are confident that robberies will be few in number for some months to come. A FENDER CHOSEN. Supervisors Decide on a Life-Saving Service for San Francisco Streetcars. The Health and Police Committee of the Board of Supervisors decided yesterday to recommend the adoption of a fender to be used on the streetcars of this City in spite of Manager Vining’s protest that such appliances wouid only add to the danger to pedestrians. Apparently the committee took little stock in Mr. Vining's statement and Chairman Benjamin suggested that the interests of the public demanded that a fender be decided on without delay. Supervisor King made a talk in favor of the erxleE device, but was opposed by Supervisor Dimond, who thought the ap- pliance likely to fail to operate atthe proper time. He had the same objection to the Hunter fender, which was favored by Supervisors Benjamin, Morganstern and Dunker. The latter device was voted by the majority in the committee to be the most feasible” and will be recommended for acceptance by the board on Monday next. Supervisors King and Dimond voted in the negative. The Hunter fender consists ofa scoop that drops on the track on being toucged by the object and picks up the same. ————————— Judge Low’s Sleepless Night. Police Judge Low seemed to be a little sleepy yesterday morning when he took hisseat upon the bench, and there was good cause for his condition. It seems thata few nights agoa sneak-thief entered Judge Low’s residence at 710 Pine street_and carried away & good sup- ply from his Honor's wardrobe. The Judge Qecided that if an attempt was made to repeat the visit the fellow would meet with a tropical reception.
