16 HE SA FRANCISCO CALL, E 20, 1896. ’ JAMES 6, MAGUIRE REACHES HOME, He Will Remain Here and | Take [Part in the | either State or National. Campaign. SAYS SILVER WILL WINi | | The Congressman Says the Silver Men Will Not Trifle at Chicago. A SILVER PLANK AND MAN. | There Will Bs No Straddle and No| Thought or Care What the Goldbugs Do. | Congressman James G. Maguire arrived | home from Washington with his family | last evening, He will remain here during “ the campaign and take an active partinit, | in | single-taxers jn the country, Mr. Maguire { Boies and Matthews are strong men. I think that the candidate to be selected must be a leading Democrat who hasa record as a leader in this silver cause, “With a silver platform and a silver candidate I think the prospects of Demo- cratic success will be good with the chances in favor of the Democratic ticket. | I think that the fight will increase in in- tensity as it goes on, and develop into a | fight between the money power, for which the extreme East is rather an agency than a controlling force, and the masses of the people, who realize that they are being enslaved by the money system. “The whole fight for the gold standard, both to establish it and to maintain it, is being made by the great moneved inter- | ests of Europe and tire extreme East, which have the homes, industries and commerce of the people of all the rest of the country mortgaged to them and which insist on drawing their tribute in | gold only.” When asked about the possibility of any agreement on candidates between the | Democrats and Populists he said : I have no knowledge of any such pos- ibility, and I hardly thinkany such thing s possible. I don’t think any such ar- rangement could be made now. There might come about a certain community of action, but it would not probably be brought about by prearrangement.’ As one of the leading and best-known is much interested in the single-tax cam- | paign in Delaware. “The single-tax movement has grown very strong in all parts of Delaware,” be said, “and while I never believed it possible that the sentiment or credence of a State could be changed one year'’s campaign, yet the CONGRESSMAN JAMES G. MAGUIRE, WHO RETURNED FROM WASHINGTON LAST NIGHT. both in behalf of his own fortunes in the Fourth District, in which he is a candidate for re-election, and in behalt of the party and the silver cause. Last evening at bis home, Mr. Maguire expressed his satisfaction with the State | platform and his belief that the party will at Chicago declare for free silver and nominate & strong silver mar, giving the Democracy chances of success. “The Democratic State adopted a good platform,” he said, “‘and of course I can't deny that it elected a good delegation to Chicago. ““f approve the silver plank in the plat- form, of course, and I think it expresses the sentiment of four-fifths of the party in thiy State—yes, probably nine-tenths of it. “The remonetization of silver will be the issue of the campaign, and all others will be overshadowed by it. I am satisfied that the National Convention will not only | adopt & strong silver platform, but nom: nate candidates who stand and who have stood steadfastly for the same proposition. The plank will not be a straddle. That would be absolute folly. “If the gold men have more than a Convention | | and that they ou | | third of the convention the two-thirds | rule will be abolished instantly. ver men will be too much in earnest to allow any mere precedent of party usage to force them to nominate a gold or a compromise candidate on .a silver plat- form. men do. It doesn’t matter what the gold | The sil- | They will not bolt on account | of abolishing the two-thirds zule, as has | been suggested. If they are disposed to volt on the platform they may do it, but it would be folly for them to swallow a silver platform and bolt because a party precedent was disrezarded. The majority of that convention will not stop to inquire what the gold men will do. “As to candidates there are a good many available men, but no candidate has assumed such a decided lead on the fight as to make a prediction worth anything. 1 can’t say that I have any decided prefer- ences myself. I am personally well acquainted with some of the Ileading candidates and I naturally incline to them. Among them are Vice- President Stevenson, wio has silent on the money question, Bland, and Morrison, whom I was for, but who has made some declarations that probably put him out of the race.

The fact that the system of taxa- tion in Delaware is espe: mixed, and indefensible by the opponents of the single tax, makes that field a fertile one work in."” BRODERICK’'S ESTIMATES | Working on t;;; Figu;en That ‘\'lll: e Used in Making Up the Tax Levy. | to Auditor Broderick and his entire cleri- cal force has been working for two nights past on the estimates for the next fiscal year sent in by the various municipal de- partments and preparing the same for the Board of Supervisors, The Auditor figures each year what the amount of the various appropriations | should be and submits the same with | what the head of the departments ask to the board, which decreases or increases the appropriations as it sees fit. The tax levy is based on the aggregate of these appropriations and the estimate of revenue, which is also made up by the | Auditor, Thus far Mr. Broderick has made only | minor changes in the demands, but the | heaviest—those of the Street,«Police and | Fire departments—have not been gone into, and here the heaviest cuts are ex- pected. The Auditor’s complete estimate will be | submitted to the board on Monday. SOUTHSIDE IMPROVEMENTS, ; Arrangements Being Made for a Big | Demonstration and Jubilee. The executive committees of the South- side and Kolsom-street Clubs met last evening at Dr. Rottanzi's office. The sec- retary was directed to send communica- tions to the officials of the San Francisco Railway Company, requesting them to | bituminize the crossings of Folsom and | Bixteenth, Tenth and Eighth streets. A committee consisting ot G. L. Center, . Maguire ana P. Heyfron and the of- | ficials of Folsom-street clubs 3 and 4 was | appointed to arrange fOr a mass-meeting | of the Foisom-street people, from Sixth | street to the water-front, to hasten the completion of the bituminizing of Folsom street. A committee consisting of G. L. Center, A. B. Maguire, G. G. Raabe, F. W. McEwen, R. E. Cole, P. Beyfron, Schwartz and Dr. Rottanzi, was ap- pointed to co-operaie with the committees appointed by the Cycle Board of Trade for & monster Folsom-street jubilee and good- roads demonstration on the completion of Folsom street to Sixth. Interesting and Instructive. This week’s News Letter contains one of the ablest articles on the money question ever published in thisCity. The dramatic criticisms in this number are also of especial interest. The bridge to be built over the Tennes- see River at Knoxville is to be a remark- able structure in many respects. It is to be entirely of pink marble from near quarries, 1600 feet long, with one arch of 240 feet, 20 feet longer than any other arch in the world. At its highest point it is to be 105 feet above the water, and it is to have a roadway 50 feet wide. c | him | that victory. FOURTH OF JULY AND FATHER YORKE. Gives Reasons Why Foreign Flags Should Wave in Parade. HE POINTS TO HISTORY. Charges the Celebration Commit- tee With Narrowness and Ignorance. GREEN FLAGIN THE CIVIL WAR His Address Delivered at the Enter- tainment of the League of the Cross Cadets. The principal feature of the entertain- ment and social given at Native Sons’ Hall, 414 Mason street, last night by Com- pany C of the League of ths Cross Cadets was the lecture by Peter C. Yorke on *‘The Fourth of July and Foreign Flags.” The hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion. Much of the ornamentation | consisted of the American flag in various | forms and positions. In speaking to his subject, Father Yorke said substantially: “lt is easy to see I am in the house of my friends.” He said this in recognition of the ovation of applause he received from the audience, which crowded the hall to thie doors. “I think Company Cisa good company to help, anda Iam willing to do my part to help them on this occasion. “Company Cis not like some organiza- tions which are unable to go down in their pockets and pay for their own uni- | forms, but want a town which is not able to pay its gas bills to buy them for them. Down in the Fourth of July committee | offices you will find an advertisement ior patriots. T'll tell you who some of the Continental Army are. They are those who e their front teeth at $30,000. They will nitimately have the stripes without the stars. “The Fourth of July committee has | agreed that no_foreign flags shall be per- mitted in the Fourth of July procession. They may be afraid that they might pro- mote treason and that the Pope might come over and elope with the army. “The League of the Cross is an Ameri- can institution. Most of its members were born here. ‘O!d Glory' is good enough for them all the time. “I believe in occasions when we should show Oid Glory only. Buton the Fourth of July we should remember that other flags have floated in the past and should be floated still side by side with the Stars and Strips The issue is raised by a con- spiracy by a false issue. We would lay down our lives if necessary to defend the flag of our common country. This Nation is cosmopolitan. We shouid not turn our backs on the Nations that helped us when we needed help. The ob- jection to the flag comes from those who il themselves Anglo-Saxons. The objec- c tion also comes from men who have not renounced their allegiance to England, nd who have in their hearts a secret alle- ance to England’s bloody rag. *‘Tuttle, chairngan of the Fourth of July parade committee, bears a name that can- not be found on the register of San Fran- 0. Two of them who are standing by 1 on the committee were born subjects of Vic “When other countries do us injustice then is the time to rally to our common flag. But we shonld not crush out mem- ories of other countries. Love of country malkes all men brothers, and all nations one. The men who keep toreign flags out of the procession know very littie about the history of the Fourth of July. Did irteen colonies spurn the foreign Every flag of other nations, except 1d, was welcome and present and did good_ service in that cause. The cry of Pope is not a new one. It was heard when there was talk of French alliance with the revolutionists as told in Fisk's History of the American Revolution.” Here Father Yorke read extracts from the history to prove his statement. Continuing, he said: “There isa pedi- gree to every lie. France helped us with 1,000,000 franc Lafayette, the gallant chevalier, fought side by side with Wash- | ington. When the colonial army was in need of a tactician to train the farmers who did it but a German, Von Stuben? He made them one of the finest armies in the world. Thev were also helped by Kosciusko and Pulaski. King Frederick of Prussia stopped the drafting of the Hessians. A tax was placed on their ex- portation, as though they were cattle, Yet to-day the flag of that foreign prince is proscribed. “And the end at Yorktown, what was that? ‘*It was there that Cornwalil’s army sur- rendered. Yet on that great day the colors of France floated with the starsand stripes. The army of Rochambeau marched side by side with the army of Washington at Fisk says of Rochambeau that his assistance was ‘one which cannot be too heartily acknowledged.” Yet this Fourth of July committee boycotts the fln}g that made the Fourth of July a possi- bility. “There is one flag, though, in particu- lar which these men cannot stomach. They call it a ‘green rag,” and say it repre- sents no nation and no country. It stands for something higher—freedom and_prin- ciple. We will stand till its cause is suc- cessful. No wonder the hirelings of Eng- land hate it. They forget it was side by side with the Stars and Stripes during the Civil War in glorious death or glorious victory. “Our flag, the stars and stripes, should have first place” everywhere at all times. No flag should be allowed to fly higher, but I do not believe in the narrow patriot- ism which proscribes on the Fourth of July the flags that helped to make the history of this country. We should not be led by inglish sympathizers. Above all things we must see that the Union shall be preserved. Bats ana owls shall not succeed,” he said, referring to the A.P. A. “They are already squabbling over the bones of their patriot organiza- tion. They are doing our work them- selves. When thieves fall out honest men get their due.”’ Father Yorke was introduced by Thomas H. Fallon. The programme which pre- ceded his address comprised an over- ture by the orchestra; a vocal solo by Miss Kittie Biack, which was enthusiastically encored; a recitation by Miss Schade, who was also encored; a vocal duet by Messrs. D. O. Jones and D. Sheerin Jr., a piano duet by Miss N. Bun- sted and Miss Marie Geo:giani, iustru- mental selections by a quartet comprised of Messrs. J. Watson, J. Clancy, F. Sands and F. Patterson, who were encored. In a competitive drill for two gold med- als the victors were Alfred Rudolphus of the privates and Thomas Cusick of the non-cominissioned officers.

BUCKLEYITES T0 FGHT RIGHT ON They Will Battle for Their | Claim to the Party Name. COATS ARE COMING OFF. _— Leaders and Followers Start Out | Afresh With Vigor and | Determination. REGULARS VS. RAINEYITES. The Buckleyites Caim the Local Machine and Will Go to the Courts. What of the Buckleyites now ? Gavin McNab has been wiping away his sweat since Tuesday, leaning on a spade most of the time and telling that he has just finished rounding a mound of garbage over the grave where Buckleyism lies | sleeping. | The Junta people generally have been taking it for granted since Tuesday that the “Buckley” party organization would | now disintegrate at once snd that the members of this faction would break each other’s necks getting in behind Rainey, Daggett and Lanigan, who now have a sure grip 6n the Junta organization. But the seating of the Daggett-Rainey- McNab delegation in the State Convention has but put new vigor and determination | intothe ‘‘regular” organization. They are | going for the municipal fight now, and they are just taking off their coats and | getting really to work. The Occidental Club was crowded last | night. The leaders of the faction and the | most reliable and influential district- workers were gathered there, and they seemed to feel better for the thrashing they got at Sacramento. They surely felt more like fighting, and every mother’s son of them declared that they were Tight in the middle of a big fight and that they proposed to stay there. The State Convention, they say, is one thing and municipal politics another. As they held a majority of the old committee when the Junta split off last fall when the gas was turned out, they declare that the; have an incontrovertible and unassailable claim to being the regular Democratic municipal party. They say that the courts must recognize the fact that they alone are entitled toa place on the ticket under the title *Demo- cratic,” and that they will hold on to and battle for this right. They also point to the fact that they enroll four or five times the number of voters the other side can lay claim to, that they have practically all the party workers with them except those who follow Rainey or who are enrolled by Daggett, that in the fight at Sacramento they had every consideration of party right and reg- | terminedly on deck, and the | vessel. ¢ | days ago from a southern trip, and 1t was ularity on their side while the suc- cessful oppos had simply the effective ¢ “Buckleyism,” that their organization is fuli of leading men who never followed Buckley and who never could be controlied by him, and that the rival organization is a disorgan- ized and discordant mess of which Sam Rainey now has working control. So the ‘‘regulars’’ are definitely and de- fun promises to be hivelier even than. it has been in the past. CHARGED WITH FILIBUSTERING. Captain Dickman of the Lawrada Under Arvest at Philadelphia.
