—_— GOULD'S FOES Los Angeles Democrats Spring a Candidate for the Convention , Chairmanship. HE WILL GIVE THE STOCKTON MAN A| HARD FIGHT FOR THE PLACE. Foote Goes Over to the Ch mittee, Whereat the Buckleyites Curse Long and Loud—Factions Skirmishing for Proxies. TaE CALr's HEADQUARTERS, ) 614 K STkEET, SACRAMENTO, CAL., June 15. ( Judge W. A. Ryan of Los Angeles is the man of the hour in Bacramento. He is put forward by his friends as the only man who can beat Frank Gould for the chairmanship of the convéntion. He may not be able to reach the place, but he has at least given a bad scare to the adherents of Gould. When the Los Angeles dele- gates arrived to-day they hoisted a neatly printed banner on which was emblazoned the legen In room 64. S Hon. W. A. Kyan for chairm Judge Ryan was himself not disposed to press his candidacy, but his friends would not listen to his attempts at declination. Judge Taney of Los Angeies spoke for the southern part of the State in urging Judge Ryan’s candidacy, saying: “We of the Southland are for any man who is impartial. We know that there are certain contests within the party that have caused much rancor. Mr. Gould may be a good man, but having become a partisan in these schisms, we do not consider that he is properly qualified to act with entire impartiality. On that account we present our candidate and trust that he may re- ceive the,consideration he deserves. He | deserves the support of every good Demo- | crat, no matter to what taction he be- longs.” | Thus the argument is passed zlong, and the friends of Ryan say that if they don't win they will give Gould the worst scare of his life. It was apparently only a little unim- | portant conversation that was taking place in the barroom of the Golden Eagle Hotel this evening between Frank Gould, | the avowed candidate for chairman of the | State convention, and Andrew J. Clunie, | one of the most enthusiastic and active supporters of the anti-Junta delegation. But had this little confab terminated | satisfactorily to Clunie the situation that now exists would have been changed in most important particulars and would have left the convention proceedings to sail along in the smoothest possible man- | ner. Jt was a last effort to bring about harmony without a preceding condition of | war, but it failed absolately. | The sudden rise of Judge W. A. Ryan’s | star to-day put Gould and his adherents | on their mettle, and they lost no oppor- tunity of cementing and increasing the strength of their leaders. Concihation was the word, and so tactful were their | efforts that they induced that hard-headed | and bold-hearted fighter from Alameda, Hon. W. W. Foote, to surrender horse and dragoons. Foote is now out for Gould without equivocation and without Teserve. Taking advantage of this conciliatory | epirit that pervaded the Gould camp, Andy Clunie looked up Gould, found him holding up the bar in the Golden Eagle, called him to one side and then put this proposition squarely before him. “We will withdraw all our opposition to your candidacy for chairman of the con- | vention if you will agree to submit to us the names of the gentlemen whom you propo‘e to name as members of the com- mittee on credentials.”’ Gould backed and filled a bit, but being | brought back to a direct answer he de- clined to comply with the request of the anti-Junta people. From this on until the question of chairmanshipis decided the lines will be drawn and the battle will be waged with all the fierceness and energy at the command of all concerned. Evening brought the first real burst of | life and whoop and the first real tug-of- | war. Ryan’s boom, which started early in the afternoon, ran a gentle and uncer- tain course until near dinner time, when | the first sensation occurred. W. W. Foolei {150 strong, and they formed by twos be- UNITE ON RYAN airman of the State Com= made it when he declared himself for | Gould, and it became known that English | and Fitzgerald had got in with Foote on the deal making Alameda solid for Gould. Thi# was a hard punch to the Ryan boomers and Buckleyites, and signs of alarm disappeared from the faces of the Daggett-Gould-McNab hustlers. But still | everybody waited for the evening trains | and the re-entorcements and the connubi- | | ating of the night. | The whoop came at 8:30 o’clock, when ! | the San Francisco train roiled into the | | depot, where the blare of & brass band and | a crowd of hundreds of people welcomed the big crowd from the city. The Iroquois clubs from San Francisco, Benicia and Suisun poured out and | tormed in line with yip-yip-yip and much | burrah. The Iroquois procession quickly | formed and up K street it went, with the i new Sacramento Iroquois Club and a band | for escort, and with tomahawks, Roman | canales and red-fire to help out the excite- ment. | Then the Buckleyites poured forth from | train, too, in their strength. They came hind the Iroquois clubs, headed by Chair- | man Joseph Rothschild, Senator Donovan, | J. C. Nealon, Henry Ach and other lead- | ers. Each Buckley delegate wore a badge | of ribbons and tin imitations of silver | dollars, and the delegation marched proudly to its headquarters, near Seventh and K streets. ‘The Buckleyites found that the strag- gling Junta delegation had not come with | any outward show of force, and that they | bad no headquarters, and the, Buckley | force hurled itself en masse into the politi- | cal gathering that overran the Golden | Eagle and the Capitol Hotel, across the | street, ana gave life to the sidewalks. They made an impression by their num- | bers and presence, and they knew it. | Their show of force itself helped to make | them something to be reckoned with. The same train brought many members of other delegations, and so all at once, at about 9 o’clock, the majority of the dele- gates and of the leaders were on hand and the real anti-convention hustling broke into ful1 blast. ‘ But the anti-Gould people were at sea | and the Gould boomers had regained their confidence. The Alameda flop had not helped the | Ryan boom, and iz was waiting for the | later night to r.gain its force. Among the | anti-Gould people were heard curses of | Foote, who was a few hours before their idol. Attorney W. M. Gibson of Stockton, who was one of the bitter enemies of | Gould in the San Joaquin delegation for a time, threw up his hands. Then he waited | for the Ryan boom to get going again. “Foote says that he is satisfied that Gould is not a Daggett man,” said Gibson, | with derision i his words. | *‘Foote was in and out, in and out, with | us, and now he is out,” said Recorder Glynn, and he said more with suppressed indignation. - The Buckleyites cursed Foote sorely. | They said they regarded him as an in- | grate. They had boomed him for months; | they recalled how they had won friends | for him and had boomed him for the chairmanship. Now he had gone into the camp of the enemy just at the critical mo- | ment when a possibility of victory seemed ‘ in sight. | There was much speculation as to what | transpired between W. W. Foote and Frank Gould during the hour’s private | conversation which they had upstairsin the | Golden Eagle late in the afternoon, but it | was all speculation. People on both sides | assumed that a deal of some sort was con- summated whereby Foote and his friends are to be benefited and John Daggett is not to be helped. It seemed unlikely that it wouvld any | | particular relation to Foote’'s candidacy for delegate =t large, for he was absolutely certain of victory there. It was thought that the result might have a favorable in- fluence on the fight of his friend Lny-| I I'BE SAN FRANCISCO CGALL, TUESDAY, JUNE “16, 1896.% e S Sl St 80 o e bk sy, D5y e ; !.&';'/3‘ e WA ,-\a : HON. FRANK ", GOULD, THE MAN OF THE DAY. mance for delegate from the Third Dis- trict, Others guessed, probably unjustly, that Foote weuld have something to say about the appointment of the State executive committee, and that possibly the way of the Senatorial aspirations might have been slightly smoothed. There was no hint of anything discred- itable in the slightest degree from any- body except a very few of the Buckleyites, who spoke hasty words in their wrath. It was simply assumed that Foote re- ceived assurances in behalf of himself and his friends which were of course satisfac- listed with the cause. The wife of Warden Aull called at the equal suffrage head- quarters to-day and declared her active al- legiance. She said she would do all in her power to assist the cause. Mrs. S. J. Hanchell and Mrs. Frank Orcutt of this city also dropped in and assured the com- mittee of their support. The ladies are keeping close to their headquarters and are not attempting any personal canvass of the delegates. The headquarters wear a forlorn appearance as compared to the busy scene it pre- sented during the Republican Convention. The Republicans manifested their appre- tory and, politically considered, in every | ciation of the ladies in a very marked way proper. Foote, however, cease his cursing of John Daggett and his declarations of hostility to him when he went into Gould’s camp. LRl WOMAN SUFFRAGE. Few Democratic Delegates Swear Allegiance to the Cause. SACRAMENTO, CAL., June 15.—Susan B. Anthony, Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper and | her daughter Harriet arrived to-day, com- pleting the equal suffrage delegation in so far as its work before the Democratic Con- vention is concerned. They to-day ap- pointed the committee that will appear be- fore the platform committee, if their peti- tion is allowed, to plead the cause of woman. They have received no encour- agement whatever from any source, and while they continue to hope they do not expect the same treatment from the State Democracy that was accorded them by the Republicans. The women have established head- quarters in parlor 28, third floor of the Golden Eagle Hotel, In the office and about the hallways of the hotel are neatly printed placards announcing that fact and cards are distributed everywhere an- nouncing that “You are respectfully in- vited to call at woman suffrage head- quarters,” etc. Very, very few have so far accepted the invitation. a body, although two or three counties have instructed their delegates to vote for woman suffrage. Some four or five indi- viduals have called, among them Gavin McNab and Max Popper, both assuring the committee that they were heartily in sympathy with their cause. J. A. Filcher of Placer County, manager of the State Board of Trade, went up the elevator with | the intention of doing something of that kind, but looking in and seeing a rcom | full of ladies he backed out under some | subterfuge. He was afterward led back by a newspaper man and made his little speech. The threatened organized opposition of | women of the State has not developed any showing whatever. A number of prom- inent women have, on the contrary, en- No delegation has done so as | | | did not | degree. “What we are particularly afraid of,” said Mrs. Ida Harper, who acts especially | as the press committee, “is that we shall be ignored—that is, that the platform | shall be silent regarding equal suffrage. If the Democratic party is8 opposed to equal suffrage we wish it to so say in its platform. friends are and who our enemies. We are neither Democrats nor Republicans, re- member, in this matter of securing en- franchisement. We have personal bear- ings, to be sure, but they are sunk in the one purpose before us. Very many promi- nent women of the State who have Demo- cratic predilections will feel it deeply if the Democratic party does less for us than did the Republican. ““We have petitions to present here with the signatures of 40,000 residents of the State over 21 years of ag=, asking for the suffrage amendment to the constitution, | The signers are about equally divided as to sex. The signatures have been collected | within the last three months. “Alameda is the banner county in this matter. Now, suppose Alameda Cotnty’s delegation here sbould place itself in oppo- sition to us, as it is intimated it will do, I maintain that it does not represent the sentiment of its people. “The Republican convention was rather taken by surprise by the strength of our campaign. There was no organized op- position to us. We came down here with the outspoken and unqualifiea support of Tre CarL. That was a great thing for us. It practically amounts to the differ- ence between then and now. Had we the support of some paper that is to the Demo- cratic party what THE CALL is to the Re- publican party you would not see this in- difference of the delegates to-day. Our cause was adopted by the Republican con- vention with a rush. Bince then six weeks have intervened, and the opponents of suffrage in the State—I will not say what composes the opposition, but inter- ests that believe they will be injured by the adoption of woman suffrage—have or- ganized and made a hard fight against us. That explains the situation.” Susan B. Anthony and Anna H. Shaw Then we shall know who our | I will compose the committee that wil' plead the cause of suffrage before the plat- form committee, provided leave is granted, which is reasonably certain, as the right of petition 1s not yet abrogated. The la- dies will be heard and bowed out. There will be no reference to the question in the platform 1t is believed. In the convention Guavin McNab will, perhaps, offer a resolu- tion of sympathy or something of the kind, and it will receive a dozen or more votes, and with that the matter will be passed. Speaking of the matter to-night Miss Anthony said: *“The question of suffrage seems newer to the Democratic party than to the Re- publican. The Republican party has ap- proached the subject often, passing senti- mental resolutions at least. But the Democratic party, with professions of be- ing the party of the people, cannot ignore the rights of woman without being un- true to i's own faith. The adoption of a plank favoring suffrage would not in any event commit the individual voter, for he would vote his personal convictions on the subject anyhow. The value we at- tach to such declaration is the free discus- sion of the subject that it insures. It would oven the columns of the newspa- pers to it and the orators would talk about it. That is all that suffrage needs to win —that people understand it. I am cer- tain we will win this fall anyhow, butI should think the Democratic party would be giad of our aid in their contest.” SRR ST HAMILTON FOR CHAIRMAN. Placer Delegates Declare for the Old War-Horse. SACRAMENTO, CAL., June 15.—J. A. Fiicher, editor of the Auburn Herala and manager of the State Board of Trade, and the old Democratic war-horse, Gemeral Joe Hamilton, headed the Placer delega- tion, which got in during the forenoon. Filcher will be the representative of Placer County on the new State Central Com- mittee. Old Joe Hamilton is known to every Democrat in the State who has not jumped into party activity within three or four years. Hamilton was Attorney-General of the State for two terms and has missed but one convention in thirty years or more. On the way down the delegates dis- cussed the fuss about the chairmanship and made up their minds that if the dele- gates kept on fighting at Sacramento they would spring Joe Hamilton for the chair- manship. The Placer delegation came unpledged and undetermined about the chairmanship and with a general prejudice against Buckley, though without any par- ticular understanding or care about the San Francisco contest. “The delegates care particularly who is chairman,” said Mr. Filcher, “They are d'H‘OBfllEN oF S = ARuckLEY Busin £S5 MAN.

They are against anything that has Buckley attached to it, on general principles.” p It is on such material which comes roll- ing into town from all over the Siate, made up of stanch, true and unprejudiced men undecided about the fight, that the anti-Gould people rely to swell their initial strength to the necessary majority. Itis because there are so many such delegates that there is any uncertainty about how the big fight over the chairmanship, Dag- gett and the San Francisco contest will break to-morrow. The friends of Gould still contend that there is no uncertainty in regard to his success, and it really seems that they have good grounds for their hopefulness. It is said the Shasta delegation has also prepared a sweeping curreucy plank which it will ask the convention to make a part of the platform. The plank reads as fol- lows: Resolved, That we are in favor of the Unitea States Goyernment coining every ounce of sil- ver mined within its borders the ratio of 16 to 1, without any condition whatsoever, e HOSPITABLE CITIZENS. Careful Preparations for the Care of Delegates. SACRAMENTO, CaL., June 15.—John Markely, secretary of the State Central Committee and member of the citizens’ committee on arrangements, was busy as a nailer all day with important labors which not many delegates thought or cared much about. Markely has been the leading authority in the work of prepara- tion for the convention whicn has been done so well. State Committee headquarters were opened in the parlor of the Golden Eagle in the morning, and during the day chairmen of delegations filed belated cre- dentials, received badges and asked ques- tions. About forty proxies were filed dur- ing the day and many more will reach the roll before the convention opens. Espe- cially careful arrangements for seating the delegates have been made at the Pavilion, in the vast interior of which the octagonal muslin tent for the convention has been put in order, with a seating capacity of 3000. Each delegation will sit next to an aisle, and the delegations have been lo- cated so as to group them by Congressional districts. The peovle of Sacramento are display- ing hearty hospitality and careful atten- tion to their guests. Committees on halls, music, accommodations, press, badges and attaches have done their work care- fully. Accommodations are ready for the ,biggest crowd that may come. When the convention is over the three conventions | all the conventions Sacramento has paid every dollar of party expense. Chairman Willis, of the presscommittee, is entitled to special consideration for the attentions paid to visiting press represen- tatives. Temporary clerical officers have been provided without expense and they will | probably become the permenent conven- tion attaches. Most of them have donated their services. They include a secretary, a chief clerk and four assistants, a sergeant- at-arms and five assistants, three porters and four pages. A big sounding-board has been placed behind the platform; the Pavilion is prettily decorated, and the citizens of Sacramento have done well théir part to make things pleasant for the big unpleas- antness. The committee of citizens having in charge arrangements for receiving and seating the delegates has attended toits duties in a manner that meets with the approval of all visitors. William Beck- man is chairman of the general commit- tee, A. C. Hinkson vice-chairman, J. O. Funston secretary and David Lubin treas- urer. The sub-committees are as follows: On attaches of the convention—John Mark- ley, Adad C. Hinkson, William McLaughlin. Auditing committee—David Lubin, William Beckman, Add C. Hinkson. On badges—A. J. Johnston, C. H. Holmes, W. | P. Mathews. To consult with Democratic Central Com- mittee—Add C. Hinkson, Dr. Mathews, Fred Cox. City decoration committee—J. A.

The World Wide—Wonder Worker Again Extends the Healing Hand to Failing Man, GRATITUDE TO THE GREAT HUDYAN. Much Midnight Oil Burned at the Big Institute by Eminent Physicians to Benefit Mankind. A fnestion not infrequently obtruding itself upon the inquiring mind is this: Is man degenerltin%—fiiiling in vital force, losing "energy, lacking in that strong, robust virile power which made the gigan- tic gladiators of the arena such enviable types of physical perfection, and. if so, why? I give.itup. The solution of such a knotty problem would require a more facile pen and subtle mind than I possess,, so I will content myself with the broad assertion that man is failing physicallyy But I also know that this failing may he halted if the proper steps are taken and taken in time. I will try and tell how I first became 1n- troduced to the medical marvel of the sge the great Hudyan. ‘While walking along Montgomery st:eet about two months ago [ was accosted loy— as I supposed at the time—a perfect stranger in so familiar and effusive a man- ner as to betoken long ‘acquaintance:ship. I could see by the merry twinkle of his full clear eye that he was enjoying my embarrassment hugely. Concluding atlast he had had about as much fun at my ex- pense as was consistent with street eti- quette, I made bold to say, ‘‘Well, sir, m%vl ask who you are, pray?”’ “Why ,” calling me by name, "don'%” you recognize your friend Jack I seized his hand and stood paralyzed. Was it possible tnat this was the same man whom I had seen one short year before a complete physical wreck, nervous, irritable, melancholy, hair and eyelashes gone, round-shouldered and ambitionless —yet there could be no disputing the fact that it was the same old Jack. But oh, how completely and miraculously reju- venated. Why he looked like a gladiator of the olden times, tall, erect, robust and fearless; a sparkling eye and a firm grip. The very embodiment of manly strength and beauty. ‘Jack,” I said, feeling somewhat dwarfed in his lofty presence, “let us go and sit down somewhere and you can tell me how you discovered the famed rejuvenating waters of Ponce de Leon ?” When we were comfortably seated in an adjacent cafe, he turned to me and admin~ istering a good rousing slap on my shoul ders, which nearly drove me through the floor, said: *Old man, no mysterious or Ponce de Leonism about it at all. Just listen. You remember when I last saw vou, about a year ago, I was on the verge of suicide. All the comforts of life had been absorbed by my nervous and wasted condition, and the end wasnear. Oneday a friend advised me to go the Hudson Medical Institute and try their celebrated remedio-treatment—Hudyan. I wentand the wonderful result you see before your eyes, and oh, my friend,” and there were tears in his eyes as he spoke, “'I bless the day I consulted the good ‘doctors of the Hudson Medical Institute and revere the name of Hudyan.” After listening to the graphic account of his miraculous cure by the great Hudyan I have no hesitancy in recommending any man who may be suf- fering from any of the many sapping dis- eases of which men aze the victims, to call on, or write to the HUDSON MEDICAL INSTITUTE for testimonials, corner Stockton and Market streets. o STATEMENT weeOF T H Een CONDITION AND AFFAIRS ——OF THE—— MAGDEBURG FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY F MAGDEBURG, GERMAN ¥, ON THE 31ST day of December, A.
