THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 19, 1896. DEMOCRHTI STATE | MACHIE AT WORK, The New State Central Com- mittee Makes Alford Chairman. JEALOUS OF ITS POWER. An Unplimited “Advisory” Com- mittee Is to Be Named by the Chair. TO MEET EVERY THREE WEEKS Senator White Wants the Party's Stump-Sp:akers Fed on Daniel and Ceckrell. The new Democratic State Central Com- mittee met for the first time in the bil- liard-room of the California Hotel yester- day afternoon and organized for the cam- paign. Seventy-five of the 123 members were present, quite a number being represented by proxy. The first meeting developed no | fights because nothing calculated to| arouse serious contention came up. There was a somewhat strained effort to display campaign enthusiasm at times and the business of the meeting was interlarded with some Bryan eloquence. When 2 p. M. came no candidate in op- vosition to W. H. Alford of Tulare had been sprung, and shortly after the meet- ing opened he became the leader of the Btate campaign. Alford was first brought to the front by Gavin McNab and he is supposed to be inclined to take the side of the Junta in the local fight should there | be any demand for the services of the chairman of the State Central Committee. Bat the local fight has not had time to get definitely into the new State Central Com- mittee. The meeting was called to order by Frank H. Gould of Stockton, chairman of the last committee and of the last State Convention, and Al McCabe of San Fran- cisco proceeded to act as temporary secre- tary. Nearly all the San Francisco members and the twenty members at large re- cently appointed by Gould were present end there was quite a large representa- tion from the rest of the State. There were: D. A. Ostrom of Yuba, John W. Mitchell of Los Angeles, J. A. Filcher of Placer, Raleigh Barcar of Vacaville and other old warhorses of the party in the crowd. Mr. Gould said simply, “Gentlemen, the first bu: s is the election of a chair- man to take charge of the coming cam- paign,” and then Eugene N. Deuprey came forward, according to arrangement, and nominated Mr. Alford, the young Tu- lare lawyer, who was described as of & vigorous and determined disposition, yet wise and capzble of grasping all require- ments, and so on. Everybody was ready to make Alford the party chief, and_ there was a burst of | applause; and fhes John W. Mitchell, as a representative of tue south, founa pleas- ure in vigorously secouding the nomina- tion as one of a man who could stand on every plank in the platform and one idenufied with the chief issues of the varty. J. M. West of Tehama and the North and Charles Edelman of Orange said more nice things about Mr. Alford, and tben, on | motion of J. W. Mitchell, Mr. Alford was elected by acclamation. The bendsome, black haired, open visaged and quite briiliant young and new arty leader was escorted to the chair by | Cugene N. Deuprey, and in the course of a ready speech said: “I'appreciate the splendid compliment paid me by the Democracy of California. I assume the responsibility perfectly aware that ti:e election of a President may turn | on the electorai vote of California. I | promise yon that when the electoral col- Jege convenes, every yote from California shall be cast for Bryan and Sewall. It is true that in this campaign silver will be arrayed against gold, butsjlver is but a symbol and the outery for its free coinage is a wail from those whose rights have been denied. I favor silver for itself, but more because the herald of freedom is shod with silver sandals to-day.” The new chairman reccived applanse and awaited {heir pleasure, wherecn Frank H. Gould, on motion of Samuel Braun- bart, received the first thanks tendered | him for his management of the last cam- paign, the late secretary, John Markeley, being included in the thanks. “Gould!"” they cried, and Gould made a | quite eloquent speech of thanks and of party advocacy. He praised the new | chairman as a character of punty and honor, a man of ability and brilliancy and a representative of the sentiments of the Democracy of to-day. Gould got threecheersand then Raleigh Barcar and D. A. Ostrom became two vice- chairmen of the committee. On motion of Gavin McNab the chair- man was authorized to appoiut two secretaries. On motion of Max Popper, M. . Has- sett of San Francisco was elected treas- urer. 1t was also on Pugper’u motion that the chairman was authorized to appoint a sergeant-at-arms and assistants. been decided that the sergean shail be J. P. Devereunx. The committee organization, the im- portant feature of the proceedings, occa- sioned much discussion. The sentiment of the committee was largely against the creation of an executive committee which should proceed o run the campaign to suit itself. 2 Eugene N. Deuprey started the trouble by moving that the chairman be author- 1zed to appoint from the State Central Committee a campaign committee of fif- teen to have immediate charge of cam- paign work. J. W. Mitebell vigorously objectea, and urged that every member of the State Central Committee liked to feel that he was a part of the campaign machinery. The work of a campaign committee was best performed by the whole committee, Politicians were always scrambling for committee positions to gain political ad- vantage. Deuprey urged that the campaign work should begin at once, and that such a commitiee was needea to act between meetings. Charles Edetman wanted to make the committee twenty-five in number, but F. H."Gould championed a small committee, and one with which the chairman could readily consult. Gavin McNab explained that the pro- posed committee Was not an executive committee representing the whole com~ mittee, but one representing the chair- man, D. A. Ostrom took a hand in faver of Deuprey’s committee, and then Deuprey offered 1o merely call the new committee an advisory committee, and after J. A. Fiicher had argued the necessity of proper committees from a practical, common- sense standpoint it was ordered that the chairman should appoint an advisory committee of fifteen from among the members of the comm ittee. A lalf bour Jater, on motion of D. A, Ostrom, the chairman was given discretion to increase the committee from any source be sees fit, and thus the “advisory’’ com- It has -at-arms | selecting the site for the tribunes of the | chanics’ Pavilion. mittee which will chiefly assist Mr, Alford during the campaign was left, Alter many motions and much discus- slon the chairman was authorized to aiso appoint a commitiee of ten on registr: tion, a committee of seven on speakers, commitiee of seven on Senatorial and legisiative matters, a literary committee of seven, and a finance committee of fif- teen. In appointing the last two commit- tees, the chairman was anthorized to go outside of the State Central Committee. On motion of J. W. Mitchell it was or- dered that the State Central Committee should meet regularl every third suc- cessive Saturday, and that twenty-five should constitute a quorum. Then it was decmrg that the chairman should appoint a committee of seven to arrange a 1eception to the California dele- gation to the Chicago convention, and on motion of Gavin McNab the committee was instructed to confer with the chair- man and secretary of the San Francisco County Committee. “W." P. Sullivan and John F, McGoy- ern,” put in Samuel Braunhart to identify the Junta as “the” County Committee, Somebody called for ‘“White!” as the Senator was seen about the rear door, and 8 _special committee escorted Senator White to the front, where he was lustily cheered before he said: *‘Gentlemen of the Committee: 1 am much oblized for this kind reception. I am not going to detain you with a speech, I know that all that can be done to make this campaign a_success will be done by this committee. In themoney centers we find Democrats renouncing their alle- giance to the party. “Meany of these have been members of the party, it is true, but a viciory under thelr leadership could not be anything but transient. We -~ can afford to lose any Demoerat who is unwil- ling to accept the decree of the duly authorized party authority—the party National convention—chosen by the people. The Democratic warty has been the party of the people. We have always claimed to do justice to all, and it was to conserve those principles of Government more necessary to the poor than the rich that the party came into existence and un- der the leadership of Jefferson was called into power. *The necessity of the hour is the dis- semination of literature carefully and trothfully setting forth the facts and argu- ments underlying the financial issue. Every speaker who goes upon the stump should be provided with such s hes as, those of Senator Daniel and Senator Cockrell. These are too long, perbaps, for general distribution, but presentations of the case in smaller form should be put into the hands of every voter in the State, and to this end little communities should be formed in every precinct in the State.” Raleigh Barcar, who has labored for four years to get the State party organiza- tion to adopt a printed constitution and by-laws, again presented the matter and this time with good prospects of success. The matter was referred to the next meetinf. and in the meantime each mem- lbm' will receive & copy of the proposed aws. The selection of permanent headquar- ters was left with the chairman, and then, after an unsuccessful attempt to find M. F. Tarpey and secure a report from him, the committee adjourned for three weeks, Jeaving Ohairman Alford’s hands quite inll of business. TRIBUNES OF THE KINGS Their Site Being Selected by the Golden Gate Carnival Committee. A Supreme Director to Be E'ected To-Morrow—Interest in the Saie of Columbia Seats. Architect Shea and several members of the executive committee of the Carnival of the Golden Gate went over Van Ness avenue yesterday morning with a view of kings and queens who will preside over the carnival. After they participate in the parade and before the grand march in review itis pro- posed to take all these dignitaries out of the procession and assemble them on the tribune. Shea’s idea is to have the king in the center flanked on either side by the young ladies representing California, S8an Francisco, the :chool children and the GOLD QUARTE IN THIS CITY, A Pleasing Discovery of Graders on Point Lobos Avenue. AN OUTCROPPING OF ORE It Was Fourd by Contractor Broderick on the Curb Lige. HE BUILT A FENCE ABOUT IT. A Claim May Be PFi'ed if the Ore Proves to B: Rich in Gold. The immediate neighborhood of Point Lobos and Central avenues was thfown into a state of excitemen: Friday evening by the announcement thata gold quartz ledge had been discovered by contractors working on Point Lobos avenue under the new coucrete wall of Calvary Cemetery. At the particular spot where the out- cropoing of quartz was found there used to be a high bank of earth composed of surface sand, with a stratum of adobe clay and serpentine rock beneath. Down to the level of the avenue this rotten rock was cleared away, but Friday evening the graders encountered a large bowlder, in which their picks made no impression. The soil and soft rock were cleared from around it, and then a sledgehammer was brought into requisition to chip off that portion of the hard bowlder projecting above the street level. Contractor Patrick Broderick was pres- ent, but paid Litle attention to the work until a large chunk of gold quartz was chipped off. The weight of the rock first Where Gold Quartz Was Discovered on Point Lcbos Avenue. The Bowlder of Ore Is Shown Imside the Fenece. [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] attracted attention, ard then some miners amohg the workmen exclaimed in astonish. ment: *1t is rich gola quartz; it is a gold mine!” More pieces of the quartz, for such it really was, were broken off the rock and examined. They were found to contain quartz, heavily laden with what appeared Fire Department with their retinues. Then the marchers will pass along and dis- band. It is proposed to erect a tribune after the style of that used during the corona- tion of the Czar. Shea believes a similar tribune erected on Van Ness avenue would produce a maguificent effect. He also favors the southern end of the avenue as its location, as thousands of people could congregate on the block and on Market street and view the ceremonies, If this plan is adopted by the commit- tee, Shea will at once prepare the designs. Governor Budd will be invited to crown the lady representing California, and Mayor Sutro the one on whose shoulders the honor of representing San Francisco will fall. The lesser aiznitaries will be crowned by the king of tbe carnpival. Should rain‘interfere with this programme, the ceremony will take place in the Me- A special grandstand, capable of seating about 2000 people, wiil be erected immediately in front of the tribune. Bpecial souvenir tickets, bearing coupons, will be sold in advance for this stand at a slightly advanced price over that asked for the other seats, These will be placed on sale at an early date, and the funds will be used to meet carnival ex- penees. Since the announcement was made that Miss ‘Maxine Elliott would auction the boxes for the Columbia Theater benefit_at the Merchants’ Exchange on Tund'? afternoon at 1:30 o’clock, Manager Fried- lander has neen besieged with letters ask- ing for information regarding the affair. Only the boxes and lozes will be sold, nineteen in all, as the seats are being rapidly taken up. The prices bid will be the premium in addition to the regular matinee price. Preparations for the carnival have so far advanced that an election for carnival director will take place at the meeting of the executive committee to-morrow after- noon. This position will be the most arduous in the whole affair and will re- quire a man of great executive ability and experience. The director will be chosen from the members of the execntive com- mittes and will have to be 2 man of means, -; no salary will be attached to the posi- on. The representatives of the Eastern car- nival button manufacturers collected at carnival headquarters yesterday and agreed not to offer their *Mardi Gras” buttons for sale here. They admitted when the facts were presented to them about the date of copyright that they had been attempting a “‘big bluff,” and as their game was up would retire grace- fully from th as possible. —————— EMMET FOOTBALL CLUB. Annual Pienic to Be Held at Schustzen Park To-Day. The annnal picnic and games of the Emmet Football Club will be held in Behuetzen Park to-day, and those who pstronize the affair may expect a good time, The principa! events, open to all competitors, will be: 100-yard race, 200. yard race, 440-yard race, one-mile race, running hop, step and jump, running long jump, throwing 66-pound and 16- pound weigbts, football place-kick. There will also be numerous races for boys and ris. ‘iOn- of the most interesting events will be a tug-of-war between the Knights of the Red Branch Rifles and the Emmets on cleats for $100a side. R.

One of the spectators was an old miner named Bchufp. who lives in the vicinity. He unhesitatingly declared that the quartz carried coneider- able goid. Another veteran miner, and a neighbor of Schupp's, added enthusiast- ically that the ore would assay over $100 a ton. Whereupon Broderick collected sev- eral sampoles for assay and examination. Lacking knowiedge of how to proceed in securing & mine, he had a fence erected around the quartz rock yesterday, and now the novel spectacie of a vrospective mining claim fenced in tpon a public street of San Francisco can be seen on Point Lobos avenue. The quartz outcrop- ping is situated opposite Central avenue, on a line with the curb, on the south side of Point Lobos avenue. On the souther], line of the street is the new concrete wall of Calvary Cemetery, to erect which con- siderable earth bad to be removed from where it was banked up on Point Lobos avenue, Henry Bertling, a saloon-keeper at 115 Point bos avenue, bas several samples of the quartz. He was positive yesterda; that his place stood almost over a gol mine, In reply to a 3uution why the fence was erected around the quartz rock be replied: A claim may be filed upon it.” “By whom 7"’ “'I guess by Broderick or me. Mr. 8chupp, an oid miner, told me that the ore is valu- able and it’s no harm to be prepared if an ussay should prove it to be good stuff.” Broderick leit his work yesterday and took samples of the quartz to an assay office, and he seemed to be more taken up with his newly discovered mine on the city’s street than in anything else in the world. Fora certainty a bowlder of quartz is there, but whettier it is an outcropping of a ledze or merely s vagrant rock re- mains to be seen. DETERMINED TO DIE. Camillo Ferrari Fires ¥our' Shots Into His Body With Fatal Effect, Oamillo Ferrari committed suicide by shooting himself through the heart on Nmth avenue, near the main drive in Golden Gate Park, Friday night. His body was found yesterday morning by Policeman Norton. Ferrari up to two weeks ago was em- loyed as a salesman in a fruitstore at 702 urk street. At that time the proprietor sold out. The deceased Lad been out of work ever since and was naturally de. spondent. Only 50 cents was found on the corpse. errari fired four shots into himself to end his existence. One bullet passed through the chin, another thiough the neck, a third throngh the left lung and the ast, which proved fatal, was firea cirectly into the heart, Bo far as known the de- ceased has no relatives in the City, though he is said to have an uncle rn!dlyn some- where in the southern part of the State. —————— FLORENCE BLYTHE.

Postmaster McCoppin n?ueuud some time ago the appointment of eighteen ad- ditional carriers. The service demanded at least that number, and it was believed that the authorities at Washington would order the appointments. It developes now, howey r, that the extra appropria- tion made by the last Congress is not sufe ficient to meet one-third the demand from the country at large for extra men. The local authorities will be satistied, there- fore, if they secure the appointment of six new carriers. It is now thought that the new street- car mail system will be in operation by August 15, The department yesterday authorized the removal of Station A from its present location, Bush and Polk streets, to the corner of Sacramento and Polk. When the new station at the foot of Market street is completed ninety men will be transferred_from the central office to that point. Except for the maney orders and stamp business the Washing- ton-street office will become merely a sub- station. ————— ALL WANT TAXPAYERS, Republicans and Demoerats United as to the Necessary Qualifications of Election Officers. T. J. L. Smiley, ex-Registrar of Voters, appeare | before the Election Commission- ers yesterday as the representative of the Republican County Committee to guard the party’s interests in the selection of election officers. His credentials were promptly accepted and Mr. Smiley proceeded to back up the contention of the Democratic representa- tive by urging that none but those whose nemes appear on the fax list be selected to serve in the election booths. Mr, Creswe!l wanted to know what was to be done with the names of those tax- payers who had served in precinets where | frauds were detected at the last election. Were such to be abpointed ? “Certainly not,” said Max Popper, the Junta leader. “Well,” rejoined Mr. Creswell, *‘you have already recommended a number of men who served on such boards,’” Popper hastened to say that he had in- tended merely to certify that they were Democrats and not thai they were above reproach, This was a matter for investi- tion.

Was Last Seen cff Nehalem Bar Ten Days Ago and Has Not Been Spoken Since. The *poor old Blairmore' was the cen- ter of attraction at South SBan Francisco yesterday. The gates of the rolting-mills and the Union Iron Works were closed against all but the employes, but never- theless hundreds managed to get in by hook or by crook, and the whart at which the vessel Jay was crowded. Men, women, and children swarmed over the hull and many a one got a good fall on the slippery aecks. From stem to stern the Blairmore is one mass of barnacles. The hold is one mass of filth, and when the cabin hatches were taken off it was found impossible to enter, owing to the slime that had gathered there. By to-morrow things will be a little more shipshape, and then the work of scraping the decks and righting the hull will begin, Captains Borns and White- law were on duty yesterday, but to-day will be their ‘day off.” The Blairmore was insured for $80,000. It has cost so.far about $45,000 to raise her and another $15,000 will have to be ex- pended in refitting her. This means a total of §60,000 that the underwriters will have to pay. Even with this enormons expense the insurance companies will be The whole matter will eventually end in litigation, however, as the underwriters will claim that the ves- sel was not properly ballasted. The schooner Metha Nelson, which was recently launched from Bendixsen’s yards at Eurexa has not been long waiting a charter. She will load redwood for Mel- bourne, Australia, and will bring back coal from Newcastle, N. 8. W. Fears are entertained for the safety of the schooner Lizz'e Prien. She left hLere on June 4 iast for» Nenalem, Or., and ar rived off the river ten days ago. At that time the bar was breaking and the Prien could not get in. She stood on and off jor a time and then disappeared. Since then she has not been heard from. S. H. Har- mon & Co. of this City are very anxious about the schooner and are now awaiting definite news. The Lizzie Prien was a | handsome twe-masted schooner and was commanded by Captain Inglebretsen. She carried a crew of six all told and was wzll found throughout. Seafaring men seem to think that she has been blown off shore and is pow working her way back to Ne- halem. Tune tug Millie had a bad quarter of an hour of it yesterday. While aitempting to put the Custom-house officers aboard the bark Oregon the captain got too much héadway on and the iug carried away her stem and had to be towed to the wherf to prevent sinking. The revenue cutter Hartley has been practically condenmined, and the chances are that she will never again be used by the customs anthorities as a boarding ves- sel. In consequence the tug Walter Hackett has been chartered and in future she will fly the revenue flig. When the new revenue cutter is launched and ready for service the Hackett will retire and in the meantime the Hartley will he soid to the highest bidder. The John F. Hartley is twenty-one years old, having been built in Ban Francisco in 1875. In the revenue marine list sbe was rated as third elass, but has proved herself a very useful boat on ail oecasions, A dispatch to the Merchants’ Exchange says that the British ship Blackbraes, from Liverpool for San Francisco, previ- ously reported at Montevideo, was re.ex- amined on June 24, after discharging 2000 tons of cargo, and found greatly strained and many rivets slack. It was recom- mended that more cargo be discharged to enable the vessel to be docked, if neces- sary. The leak has not been found, so it must be in the bottom. The British ship East Anglican sailed from Cardiff for Esquim-lt. B, C., over a month ago and was caught in a heavy gale. The vessel was soverely strained and had to put back. Yesterday the news came from London that the vessel was so badly damaged that she oaly bronght $5000 at auction. The steamers Corona and Newsboy both leave for the wreck of the Colombia this morning—the Newsboy at9 A. ». and the Corona at 9:30 A. M.

For suburban hemes it rivals any of the thickiy populated centers around the bay.
