16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JUNE 15, 1596. WAVING ALOFT THE BANNER OF FREE SILVER, So Depart the Democratic Champions for Sacra- mento. GOULD FOR CHAIRMAN. John Daggett Will Try to Stem the Free-Coinage Tide. RIVAL CAMPS LAST NIGHT. Joy Reigns in the Junta Delegation. District Delegates May Bolt. Four weeks age Democrats in San Fran- cisco holding Federal office by grace of Grover Cleveland proclaimed with great empbhasis that there would be no place 1n the State convention of the party at Sacra- mento for any man who did not indorse the administration of President Cleveland. Some of the most outspoken of the Fed- eral brigade pronounced free coinage of silver a wild notion—a heresy that would not be tolerated in the party. Since then a great change has come over the scene. Kentucky and Michigan Dem- ocrats in convention bave revoited, and thrown the golden standards of Cleveland and Carlisie in the dust. Encouraged by the successful resistance of the silver men in the East the champions of free coinage of silver have taken fresh heart and hope in California and made such a showing of strength and enthusiasm that the ‘‘gold bues’’ are dumfounded. E. B. Yond, D. B. Murphy and Arthur Rodgers, Democrats of eminence, who were counted on as probable delegates-at- large to the Natios Convention of the party at Chicago, must either carry the silver banner to the lakes or rest in seclu- sion at home. The chances are that a solid silver delegation will be chosen. Senator Stephen White, W. W. Foote, Thomas Geary, Maguire and J. V. Cole- man may get the honors at large. Geary is not a straight-out silver man. It is said of him that he has a record of voting on both sides of the question, and it will not disturb him in the least to strengthen his record on either side. The so-called Buckley delegation of Democrats in San Francisco is solid for silver, but the Daggett-McN tion is about evenly At one time this delegation was counted on as il . but the remarkable Yockies have caused quite a number to run to the silver camp for shelter. it is_common talk that the delegates from *'Siskiyou to San Diego,” from the Sutro tuneel to the Sutro baths, are going to the convention shouting for silver 16 to 1. So earnest are tne country delegates on the money question that they are counted on to admit to be the straight- ou ference to the yellow-streaked adher- ents of Daggett and McNab. Frank Gould was rated as a gold bug some time ago, oughly galvanized with silver that he can pass any place where the metal is recog- nized. Gould convention. ing that he will not be, but they haven’t a man in sight at this writing to onpose him. Sammy Braunhart says that Gould will appoint the biggest the best and fair- est men of the party to the committee on | credentials. Goula left his rooms at the California Hotel early yesterday morninz | and was not seen again in public until late in the day. Buckley was not idle yesterday. In an upstairs room of the Occidental Club, on the Stockton-street hill—the house of curves—sat the boss. He talked with sey- eral of his heutenants and presumably advised what course should be pursued at Sacramento. James O'Brien saw the boss at 2 o’clock. and left for Sacramento two hours later. Ex-Senator Arms, M. J. Donovan and others had & talk with Buck- ley during the afternoon. The Buckley delegation will leave this afternoonat4 o’clock. The Street Depart- ment, the Sheriff’s office and the offices of the Recorder and Tax Collector will not be overcrowded with clerks and at- taches to-morrow. The Junta will get a few men from the Sheriff’s office, but most of the crowd from the City Hall will re- enforce the Buckley column. Josepn Kelly candidate for the Demo- cratic Con:ressional nomination in the Fifth District, started for Sacramento on the 4 o’ciock train yesterday afterncon. He went to the station with Walter Levy. Speaking of his chances to a CALL reporter Mr. Keliy said: I am not taking sides with either of the opposing elements in 8San Francisco. My chances for nomina- tion for Congress are good. Iam givin that contest my particular attention lng think that [ will win.” Thomas J, Clunie, who was an advocate of the free coinage of silver at the Balt Lake and St. Louis conventions of sil- verites and who has been shouting silver for months in defiance of the Federal brigade and the goldbugs of his party, is an out and out candidate for the Demo- S Fred Brown’s Jamaica Ginger stands to-day as it did 75 years ago, the S liability. its success that hundreds of imitations are made to-day and foisted upon the public as So great has been = “Brown’s Ginger.” These should be strenuously avoid- = ed.

Clunie, Dr. Stanton, Railroad Com- missioner, Thomas Glynn, Recorder, >am Braunhart and Samuel Newman, Secre- tary of the Railroad Commission, left for Sacramento at 7 o’clock last evening. A. J. Clunie expressed hope, if not con- fidence, that some other Democrat than Frank Gould would be elected chairman. He said: “Of the 100,000 Democrats in ia, he is the only one that is not acceptable to our delegation. Let the con- vention select any one else and we will be satisfied. Our delegation is going there pledged for the free coinage of silver. We are the representatives of the Democratic party of Ean Francisco, and vet I am told that the Junta proposes that we shall not be admitted to the convention hall. The Junta delegates will have tickets issued to them which will give them seats in the convention circle. It wiil be contrary to the established order ef precedence in Democratic conventions to allow these men to vote on temporary organization.” On the 7 o'clock train this morning many of the leaders will leaye for Sacra- mento. Among themare: John Daggettt, Gavin McNab, Frank Gould, M. C. Has- sett, James D. Phelan, E. B. Pond, Ed Lanigan and State Senators Fay, Biggy and McAllister. L THE RIVAL CAMPS. Buckley Plan of Campalgn—McNab Says the Junta Delegates Are on the Roll. At the regular Democratic, or Buckley, headquarters, at 935 Market street, last night, there was the usual gathering of party workers. The report had gained {currency that the Daggett-McNab dele- | gates would be allowed to vote for tempo- rary chairman. The scheme is to give out { badges or tickets to the Junta delegates |and withhold such passports from the | | regulars, One of the party workers said: “There will be a lively time if they attempt to shut us out of the convention hall. Our men, to the number of twenty, among them our best speakers, hold proxies from the coun- | try, and you may bet all you can borrow that they will resent such an outrage. The Junta delegates have no right to vote on | temporary organization. | “1f we are excluded from the conven- | tion, we will organize as Congressional | District conventions, elect our delegates to the Chicago National Convention, nomi- nate a candidate for Congress in the Fifth | District, and then appeal to the courts ana have our claims to the use of the Demo- cratic ticket recognized by law. The report was current at these head- quarters that the Santa Clara delegation, headed by Sam Rucker, would leave San | Jose this evening for Sacramento, and that the delegates were against Gould for chairman. At the headquarters of the Junta in the Flood building there was an air of confi- | ‘dence. Not the slightest doubt as to the | seating of the Junta delegation or the elec- | tion of Gould chairman was expressed. | ‘The delegates will leave for Sacramento | at 4 o’clock this aiternoon. The Iroguois | will whoop the journey in great style. The | club has engaged a private carand will | make Sacramento blaze with fireworks to- night. An Iroquois branch with 100 mem- | | bers is to be brought into camp. 1 Gavin McNab, the statesman of the | Junta, the guiding genius of the fight against Buckley, was seen at the Occi- dental Hotel last night. He leaves for Sacramento this morning. | When asked if there were any doubts| about Frank Gould’s election as chairman | he replied: “How can toere be a doubt when there is no opposition candidate? Yes; our delegation is on the roll. It was placed there by the State Central Com- | mittee. Our delegates will haye badges | admitting them to the voting tloor of the | convention and they will vote on the| question of temporary organization. Our | | delegates were placed on the roll by John | | Markley, secretary of the Democratic | State Central Commirtee.’" “How does your delegation stand on the | | silver question ?” i “That I do not know and no one knows. | The sentiment is changing in favor of free coirage and the silver men are more ag- gressive in the assertion of their views than the other delegates. No, the Buckley delegates will not be on the roll as a contesting delegation and they will not be admitted to the voting floor of the convention. The counties of Santa Clara, S8anta Cruz and Solano are said to be against Gould, but if our dele- gation of 160 were excluded Gould would have enough to elect. Of course, he would have since there is no opposition—no other candidate.” Mr. McNab mentioned as the leading candidates for delegates-at-large Geary, Ostrom, Foote, White, E. B. Pond, J. V. Coleman, B. D. Murphy and Frank Nicol. He said if free coinage of silver was de- | clared for that Messrs. Pond and Murphy would not enter the race. | Damh e TALKS WITH DELEGATES. Exprssslons and Prophecies From - Different Parts of the State. J. Buckingham of Ukiah, one of the Mendocino County delegates and for six years chairman of the First Congressional | District, was at the Grand yesterday try- ing to feel the pulse of the convention through sofhe of the delegates gathered abont him. “The convention,” he asserted, ‘‘will pass an anti-A. P. A, resolution and an anti-funding resolution; it will go for sil- ver, though individually I'm a gold man, and it will sumply ignore woman’s suffrage. I am personally opposed to woman’s suf- frage, but I'm willing to give the women a trial. If the women who would intérest themselves in politics were all Anna Shaws I would favor it. If I thought ev- ery woman ir this country—good, bad and indifferent—would take an active part 1 would heartily favor equal suffrage, be- cause there is more good than bad in the world. D 2 ““The Congressional fight in the First District will probably be deferred to some future time. I have heard a good deal of talk of running Caminetti against Grove Johnson in the Sacramento district, The delegates at large will probably be Steve ‘White for Southern California, some other ood man from the City here and Tom reary from Northern California. 1do not believe White cares a cent whether his name is mentioned for President or not. Gould of Stockton seems to be the strong candidate for chairman. Iseeno effective opposition to him.” The Santa Clara delegation, or that part of it represented by Chairman. Hicks, Sec- retary A. R. Denike, Peter Ball and W. B. Rankin, say that their county is solid for Victor A. Scheller, the ex-District Attor~ ney, as a condidate for Congress. And if Stephen White should care for the presidency they are solid for him too. As to the money question the delegation does not know where it is. Some are for gmd. Barney Murphy, the San Jose anker, is their choice for delegate-at- large, but if the convention declares for silver that will probably count Barney out. The chairmanship is a subject on which the San Joseans do not wish to ex- | press themselves, but it seems generally understood that Santa Clara’s twenty- three delegates are not in favor of Gould. They can all agree, however, that thére should be an anti-A. P. A. resolution. Santa Barbara’s delegates are solidly opzosed tothe A. P. A. There is some talk, also, among them and the other Southern Californians of running Don Car- | los de la Guerra of Santa Barbara for Congresg, should George 8. Patton of Los Angeles not care to make the fight againsc Congressman Bowers.

There was quite a troop of Democratic war horses at the Grand Hotel last even- ing. Chief among them was John Dag-| exchanged views with Daniel Ostrom of Yuba, Judge McGarvey of Mendocino, E. | C. Ivins of San Luis Obispo, J. F. Coonan | and D. I. Allard of Humboldt, M. R. Mer- | ritt, chairman of the Democratic commit- | tee of Monterey County, and Senator | Sewell of Ukiah. | The ex-Lieutenant-Governor and the head of the Federal brigade in California was never more persuasive. He is at home when he meets the rural Democrats and explains the peculiar iniquities of metro politan politics., Between talks to delegates Mr. Daggett yielded to an inter- view for THE CALL He was asked the plain, straight-out question if the administration Democrats | proposed to go to Sacramento and try to stem the current of sentiment in favor of the free coinage of silyer. He said: I am going to Sacramento at 7 o’clock in the morning, and you know_ that there is no use of holdinga convention unless opin- ions on leading public questions are dis- cussed. Now, I am somewhat averse to being interviewed becauss I have been misrepresented by the press, and THE CALL has pot always stated my position correct- Jy. Iam notanadvocateof the single gold standard, as many people have been told. Iam for bimetallism. Frankly, I can say Iam opposed to the free coinage of silver, and I am going to the convention asa State Democrat with the hope that we may reach a common ground of agreement on the money question. If the convention declares for the free coinage of siiver we must accept that declaration. It isa mis- | cannot win Judge McGavrey to the gold 1 John Daggett of Siskiyon.

Still | Daggett's persuasive and salad-oil talk | ' standard. “Iam unconditionally for silf | ver,” remarked the Judge. “This State | will go for McKinley,” continued the | Judge, “if the Democratic Convention at Sacramento should not declare for the free coinage of silver. Everybody is for silver up my way. The sentiment is strong away up in the tributaries of Russian | River. M. R. Merritt, chairman of the Monte- rey delegation to Sacramento and chair- man of the Democratic Committee of Monterey County, said: “Our delegation stands firm for the free coinage of silver.”” | —— | ALAMEDA’S DELEGATIONS. | Nearly Every Democrat Across the Bay Packs His Valise. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FraNcisco CALL, 908 Broadway, June 14, } Alameda Ceunty will be bereft of nearly all her Democrats to-morrow night. Everybody who cun see his way clear to settle his hotel bills at the capital is preparing to-night to leave in the morn- ing. A good many will go who are not | Democrats, but they are lured there by the hope that somebow or other there | will be some free silver there, and that providence may direct some ‘of it their way. Everybody realizes that the conflicts | that have passed are but preliminary to the real contest. Fitzgerald does not con- sider he is yet beaten in this county, and Laymance does not believe that anythipg can disturb him in his position. Every- thing depends on the credentials commit- | tee, and it is believed that the Daggett FRANK GOULD. JOHN DAGGETT. take to suppose that I have interfered in San Francisco local politics. T have kept out of the party disputes in this City, but 1 do take an active interest in public ques: tions wherein the Democrats of the gtate are concerned.” Senator Dan Ostrom’s gold-headed cane, anew one massive and handsome, was the object of much admiration. Daggett’seye %lenmed with pleasure when he saw it, ut the Senator hastened to explain that the cane was a gift from six of his boys on h1s last birthday, and had no political si nificance whatever on the money question. “I am for the free coinage of silver,”” said Mr. Ostrom to THE CALL reporter. ‘‘You ought to travel around the State and talk with the farmers whose homes are mort- gaged to comprehend how deep the feel- ing is on the silver question. Of course, I know,” continued Mr. Ostrom, “that the money question and the tariff are not re- sponsible for all the misfortunes of the producing classes, The greatest trouble is that we are taxed to death localiy. You haye not yet felt it in the City as we have in the country, because the City is richer, but the distress when it does reach the City will stay longer. Right here in San | Francisco you are payving twice as much per annum to run your local government as the amount expended to ran the whole | State for a_year under Governor Irwin's administration.” Diverging from taxes to silver the Yuba statesman observed: “Icannot see how John Daggett expects to stem the current for free silver, which will surely be found in the State Convention. I do not think that he can make any headway against it. Everybody that I see’is for free silver.” “Do you expect to go to Chicago?” “Well, that is for the convention to de- cide,”” responded Mr. Ostrom. ‘I want to g0, and I believe that I am the only can- g:d::e“ from the northern part of the ate. with which much of early romance and military life of the quaint mission town is Judge McGarvey.of Mendocino was sure- ly delighted to meet his old-time friend, men are prepared to do something concil- iatory for the purpose of somewhat placat- ing W. W. Foote and his powerful follow- ing. It would not surprise anybody if Fitzgerald should be sacrificed, even if the credentials committee were not favorable to Foote. This would be done by Daggett, not for the purpose of making friends, but for the purpose of not making more ene- mies, Alihough Foote's friends are positive that he means all he says when he abso- lutely refuses to be a candidate for chair- man of the convention, there are some who_still hope that he will change his mind. This is a mistaken hope. Foote is as definite in his refusal to be a candidate for chairman as he ever was in_his life. The Englishes, P. E. Dalton and F.J. Mof- fitt do not believe that he wiil waver a particle, They are confident of his suc- cess, and so expressed themselyes to-night. FrankJ. Mct%tt, although a hard worker for Foote and Laymance, has been charged with being the man who is really fighting Fitzgerald, Tt has been said over an over again that he merely got Foote into the fight to Lelp him pull his chestnuts out of the fire, Moffitt and Footz have both flatly con- tradicted this repeatedly, and a conversa- tion with Moffitt rather substantiates his position. “Iam not so much interested in this fight,” said Mr. Moffitt to-night, ‘as & good many peeple think I am. worked for Foote and Laymance and did all I could then, but now they have the matter in their own hands and I do not think I shall even go to Sacramento. have not a fight on hand at this time and shall probably stay at home.” There is a significance in the words “at this time,” for it is now a secret no longer that Frank Moffitt is actually spoiling for an open fight with the Daggett forces. Al- though he has been waging a bitter war- fare against the Mint man, it has only been an indirect one, as he was fighting for others. The only avenue open to Moffitt to gain his heart’s desire is to run for the nomination for Congress from the Third District Democratic Conyention. Although he will not give a definite opin- ion regarding his Congressional desires, it is known_that he has said he could have the nomination if he wants it, and it is generally believed he wants 1t. The only thing that seems to oppose such a conclusion is his statement to-night that he may not go 1o Sacramento. This, however, is characteristic of the man. He never shows his hand till he is called, and then it is generally found that it is a full one. Mr. Foote remarked a few days ago that if he did not show gratitude to Moi- fitt for all the political fealty the ex-Sen- ator has evinced for Foote he (Foote) would be recreant in his friendship. This Ernctically indicates that Foote would elp Moflitt to obtain whatever he might desire. Moffitt, if he makes a fight, will have the support of Foote, the Englishes, P. E. Dalton, D. Hirshberg and all their followers, and, as has heen shown, of all the interior of the county. He would have to meet all his old an- tagonists. Both Fitzgeralds, John P. Irish, Dagget:, Dam, the Alameda em- El!n, and in such an event the recent primary would be iike a schoolboy battle compared to an old-time prize-fight. Among those who will go to Sacra- mento to-morrow are: Postmaster White and his son, William, who has the creden- tials from the Third Ward, and John Me- Donald, who contests the seat and ob- tained the largest number of votes, but was upnseated by the county committee. McDonald has made no contest openly. He ignored the ofter to produce evidence before the committee claiming that it had no jurisdiction and that the matter could only be settled at Sacramento. A great deal of curiosity has been evinced regarding the authorship of the contest against the seat of W. W. Foote, filed with the State Central Committee. 1t issaid that no one could have filed it but R. M. Fitzgerald, and it is not reasonable that he could have filed it, on the ground that the County Committee had no authority to appoint, as he recognized the authority of the committee by being himself a can- didate for delegate-at-large. As Daggett has so often asserted that he has no inter- est in the fight in this county he certainly is too much of a diplomat to have inspired openly its filing, and while everybody is surprised, the most surprised man of all is Foote himself. 7 Little bas been heard of the Alameda contest, although it is believed that Fitz- gerald, by his committeeman from Ala- meda, John T. Flemming, will make a vigorous fight. Flemming has always been considered a strong Moffitt man, and it was a great surprise to Laymance when he found that Flemming had taken the necessary step to formulate a contest. Laymance now has twenty-one votes and Fitzgerald fourteen. Six are con- tested and all by Fitzgerald. Should the contestees be seated Fitzgerald will have twenty and Laymance fifteen, and this will completely turn the tables. Altogether there is much to lure the local Democracy to Sacramento. THE CHINESE CHILDREN., A Presbyterian Church Festival for Their Benefit. The Chinese Presbyterian Church, on Stockton street, was filled yesterday morn- ing witb a hundred Chinese children and several hundred Chinese native sons and daughters. It was a festival held for the special benefit of the little children, by whom the service seemed to be appreciated. Rev. Dr. Condit read a suitable selection from Matthew. ‘fhen came songs by the chil- dren, recitations, interspersed with pray- ers and sacred instrumental music. A closing benediction was pronounced by the pastor. . Hit Her With a Flower Pot. William Hoffman, 410 Pacific “street, was booked st the Central station last nighton a baitery charge preferred by his wife, Annie Hoffman. The couple have only been married two weeks, but the honeymoon has not been all that could be desired. This was due to the husband’s fondness for other women’s society. The bride of a fortnight remonstrated with hinm several times, and yesterday undertook to give him a general raking down. Hoffman said something about being “tired,” and then contradicted this by shyinga flower-pot at his wife’s head.
