' THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1896. FOR THE HONOR BRIGHT DEMOCRACY Sound Money Democrats Boldly Enter the Cam- paign Field. STATE LEAGUE FORMED A Full Delegation to Be Sent to the Indianapolis Na- tional Convention. THIRTEEN DELEGATES NAMED A Permanent O:ganization and a Heroic Exhibiiion of Loyalty to Principle. The s -money and old-line Demo- crats of California who are ready in this politieal crisis to stand by the ancient and basic principles of their party and who re so true to their political principles t thev cannot swallow Populist Bryan terday swung bravely into line with the “Indianapolis”” sound-money movement., At a large and representative gathering in the parlors of the Grand Hotel they de- cided to send a full California delegation to the National Sound-money Democratic Convention to be held at Indianapolis on September 2, and thirteen of the eighteen | delegates were named. This political gathering was not 3 great one in the popular sense of *‘great” as ap- plied to a political meeting. But then it deserved the adjective “‘great” for several reasons.’ For one thing the Democracy of Cali- fornia bas mot in its political history gathered party reoresentatives at any convention who embraced so high a per- centage of theintelligence, the loyalty to party principles and the real nobility, | civic heroism- and all that is best in the great political party which began when Jefferson and Randolph proclaimed their political faiths, #s that which character- izes the members of the Sound-monej Democratic League of California, which yesterday permanently oreanized and took its place amid the political forces of the Golden State. The Demceraiic *push’’ did not attend the conference, for the ‘“Honor-bright Democracy,” as John P. Lrish has dubbed it, has,k no prospective patronage to distribute. Every man who could give his time to d the notable gathering did so and pledged his fealty to the true Democratic cause, not only without the shadow of a hope ot political reward, but with the cer- tainty that he severed his chance of se- curing influeuce or reward from the in- truders who have captured the party. The meeting was the second meeting of the sound-money Demoeracy. When Temporary Chairman E. R. Taylor called the meeting to order he announced that the business was the questions of sending a delegation to the National convention and permanent organization, John P. Irish was called for to give his views on the matter of sending a delega- tion and he responded in a brief and forci- ble way. “I thin necessary that we to-day con credit a delegation to the National conven- tion. If wedo not do so, it will be ais- couraging to our Eastern friends. Oregon, Washington, Wyoming and other Pacific Coast States will be represented, and it would be a great mistake if California were not represented. “The ‘truth is, we have been idle too long and have trusted toolong to the silent power of principies. We have abandoned the ear of the public to the Populists and they have been able to engratt their prin- ciples on the Democratic party, or rather, they have been able to exclude from the tional Democratic Convention any true expression of Democratic principles and 1o substitute their own, “The present position of the Democratic varty is due to the fact that we have left the fleld open to them. The socialists and the communisis have been infesting the platform of the Iroquois Club for eighteen months, and they have thus and in other ways been indoctrinating the masses with their princioles, while we ha emained silent. “No matter if we will not be able to put an electoral ticket in the field. ILet us go ahead and promulgate our principles, I am not advising anybody to vote for Mc- Kinley and I am not advising anybody to vote against McKjnley. Let the resuits take care of themselves. “I received a letter the other day from Judge Bond saying that Lake County was full of sound-money Democrats who had nothing tangible to tie to, and I have re- ceived similar letters from all over the State. I propose myseif to attend the Indianapolis convention, and my ticket is aiready bought for Thursday evening. I have official information-that the rates to this convention over all the main trunk lines will be one fare for the round trin. Those appointed as delegates who cannot go shouid forward to the delegation their proxies in blank. “When the Indianapolis movement is over, Chairman Jones will not again tele- graph all over the country that the [n- dianapolis movement is too contemptible and insigniticant for consideration. We will show bim who 1s contemptible and in- significant.” Judge Robert Y. Hayne offered the only suggestion in opposition to the election of delegates. He observed that, as electors would not be nominated here, they would not represent any political party and he believed that the efforts of the organiza- tion should be embraced not in typifying signs of activity, but in the promuigation of principles to_every voter in the State through the mediums of public speakers and campaign literature. Marcus Rosenthal backed up Mr. Irish’s argument and observed thatit would 1n- jure the cause all over the country if Cali- fornia were mnot represented at the National convention when those delegates would represent 20,000 to 25,006 Demo- cratic voters in the State. “The Democrats of this State,” said Mr. Rosenthal, ‘‘are not to be led over into the Populist camp.” i After some discussion a8 motion was car- ried that a delegation to the National con- vention be appointed, leaving four of the eighteen delegates to the Sound-money Democratic Cinb of Los Angeles. E.B. Pond, in seconding this motion, suggested that all the Congressional districts be rep- resented. Judge Hayne withdrew his op- position, and with complete unanimity a committee of three was authorized to nominate delegaets, The chair appointea E. B. Pond, Marcus Rosentbal and Charles H. Shinn, and the commitiee retired to prepare its report. % As the committee retired permanent or- ganization was taken up on motion of At- torney William Thomas, and a committee on permanent orgnmuhon.'consxstmg of William Thowas, John P, Irishand H, F. Fortmann, was appointed. During the absence of this i>eond com- mittee Chairman Taylor read a number of letters from all over the State, addressed to Mr. Pond and others, showing the in- ’” he said, “that It is absolutely titute and ac- i the Populistic Chicago platform yes- | tense and widespread interest in the move ment. The report of the committee on per- menent organization was adopted as fol- lows: President, E. R. Taylor; first vice- president, E. B. Poud; second vice-presi- | dent, Jeremiah Lynch; secretary, Eiliott | McAllister; treasurer, A. A. Watkins, | The constitution as adopted at the first meeting prescribed that any person who voted for the National Democratic ticket | of 1892 may become a member upon pay- ment of a fee of $1. 5 On motion of Attorney Thomas this was unanimously umended to read: ‘*‘Any Democrat may become a8 member on the payment ot $L.” On the temporary organization the name “Sound-money Democratic Club of BSan { Francisco”” was adopted, but on motion | the name was changed to “The Sound- money Democratic League of California.” | The orgarization thus assumed its | natural State-wide scope, and from now on the new league will be a State affair in the scope of its vigorous work as well as | in its name and membership. E. B. Pond reported the following thir- | teen nominations for delegates to the National Convention, and they were unani- mously elected : Nathaniel Harris, Jeremiah Lynch, Joan P. Irish, William Thomas, E. 8. Heiler, San Fian. | cisco; John_A. Stanley, Warren Olney, O |1and; Clay W. Taylor, Shasta i | 8an Diego; John Roth, Visalia; J. | Murysvilie; Thomas B. Bond, Lakeport; Fv Lippitt, Petaluma. Four of the five vacancies were left to | Los Angeles and one, for special reasons, was left to the future claim of the com- mittee. It was ordered that the committee should fill any vacancies occurring by | reason of appointees refusing to serve, |and it was recommended by resolution that any delezates who found themseives | unakle to go to Indianapolis should for- ward their proxies in blank to the delega- | tion. Mr. Irish announced that 10,000 copies of John G. Carlisle’s speech to the work- | ingmen at Chicago were on the way to California, and that much other campaign literature oi a high grade of merit would early be on hand for distribution. The effective permanent organization will not be completed until the executive | committee and its various sub-committees on campaign work are appointed, but President Taylor announced that the exec- utive committee would be appoiuted very soon. The S8ound-money Demacratic League of California will thus send an able delega- tion to Indianapolis; conduct an effective political campaign in this State, and work with the intense earnestness that attends intense devotion to principle. An adjournment to- the early call of the chair was taken. 3 The membership of the léague has greatly increased during the few days since the first meeting. It was found at the meeting yesterday that many roils which have been in circulation were not reported, but the following were the additional names of representative Democrats en- roiled by Secrelary McA lister: Charles H. Shinn, J. K. Moffett, Norman Mec- Laren, Frederick Baruch. A Christian Reis, Joseph C. Shinm, James N. Gillis, Joseph E. Tucker, W. H. Fisner, J. J. McDonald. Dr. Luke Robinson, D. C.

Summers of Yolo County, who 18 not a capitalist: ‘YoLo, Cal., August 23, 1896. Hon. E. B. Pond, San Francisco, Cal.—DEAR Srr: I shouid like to help bring about a gold- standsrd Democratic organization in this county. Any suggestions you may feel like offering wiil be gladly received.

I remain, very truly yours, E's, Lewitr, Los ANGELES, Cal., iug. 14, 1896, Hon. E. B. Pond. San Francisco—DEAR SIR: Myseif and other Democrats here, who are sound-money men and cannot supscribe to the anarchistic doctrines promulgated by the Chi. cago convention, desire to act in harmony with our Democratic brethren who are of the same mind. I would be glad to know from you what action is contemplated by such Demo- crats in your City, ana I know of no one whose suggestions would meet with greater consid- eration than any you may make. Very truly yours, W. J. HUNSAKER. ————is BUCKLEYITES AND SILVER. The General Committee Hears Etoquence From Los Angeles. The Buckley general committee held a meeting last evening in its hall at 324 Ellis street, which crowded the hall to the doors, but no proceedings of great signifi- cance resulted. It was orderea that district nominations for election officers for the primary elec- tion on September 1 must be submitted to the executive committee by Thursday evening. P. F. Dundon, who always registers a kick when he gets a chance, made a mild observation to the eftect that he thought September 3 a pretty early date for the municipal convention. He knew that the reason given was that it was important to get the issue between the local Democratic factions before the Supreme Court at an earlv date, but he said that he had been told by a lawyer that when the Buckiey ticket was presented to Registrar Hinton he could take his own time to say whether or not he would recognize it as the “regular” Democratic ticket, and by his official answer furnisb the basis for a test case. Mr. Dundon was informed by M. J. Donovan and by Chairman Rothschild that he must haye consulted a curb- stone attorney, because the law plainly said that upon the presentation of the party ticket the Registrar must make his answer ‘‘forthwith,” and Mr. Dundon was silenced by the overwhelming evidence given in support of the early convention and the sure victory of the Buckley fac- tion in the courts. J. Marion Brooks, chairman of the Los Angeles Democratic County Committee, was present as a guest and he grossly abused the courtesies heowed to the meef- ing by declaring as the ckief point in his address on silver that once a “fellow’ was sold for thirty pieces of.silver and that if silver was once good for the purchase of a god it must be good for any purpose to- ay. J. D. Lynch of Los Angeles followed in a quite able and eloquent speech in behalf of the Bryan and silver cause and then the meeting adjourned. HE GOT OFF EASY. H, F. Stoltz, Butcher, Fined $10 For Exposing Diseased Meat For Sale. H. F. Stoliz, the butcher at 510 Castro street, arrested Sunday night for slaugh- tering a cow outside the regular limits and exposing diseased meat for sale, appeared before Justice of the Peace Carroll in Judge Conlan’s court yesterday. When the cases were called Meat In- spector Davis announced that the defend- ant:- was willing to plead guilty, and he therefore asked that a light fine be im- posed. Prosecuting Attorney Mogan thought such an offense merited seyere nnnissb. ment, but Justice Carroll decided to follow the suggestion of the Meat Inspector and imposed the light sentence of $10 or ten days in the County Jail on one charge and dismissed the other charge against the de- fendant.

A reception, to which the public is invited, will be given Miss Clara Pafrish of Paris, 111, at the headquarters of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, 132 McAllister street, Short addresses will be made by Miss Par- rish, Mrs. Sturtevant Peet and Mrs. P, D.

John P. Irish Arguing Against Populism and the Populists at the Meeting of Gold Democrats, POPULISTS ARE T0 BE RECOGNIZED, Will Have Two Representa- tives on Each Elec- tion Board. SMILEY CHARGES FUSION The Ex- Registrar Makes a Strong Fight Against the Measure. CRESWELL'3 IDEA ADOPTED. A Test of the Registration Regula- tions May Be Made Before the Supreme Court. Ex-Registrar of Voters T. J. L. Smiley battlea valiantly yesterday against the seheme of the Board of Election Commis- sioners—which, by the way, is controlled by a Democratic majority—to give the Populist party two representatives, but hisefforts were in vain, and unless some change occurs between now and election day each election board will have five Re- publican, five Democratic and two Popu- list members, or practically, in view of the fusion between the two last-named parties, seven Democratic mem bers. True to his promise, given at the last meeting of the commission, City and County Attomey Creswell brought up his resolutions giving the Populists recognition and read it as follows: Resolved, That in the City and Connty of 8an Francisco at the next general and muniei- pal election the officers of election shall be appointed as follows, viz.: In each precinct the Democratic and Republican parties shall each have one inspector, one judge, one clerk, one aaditional clerk and one baliot clerk; the ;’o uiist party shall have an inspectorand one udge. , Rfafllud, That, inasmuch as the Democratic party has already received by appointment of this board one inspector and one judge and the Republican party one judge, each of said last named parties shall have the following additional lp‘alnlmen ts, viz: The Democratic gurty one clerk, one additional clerk and one allot clerk for each precinct; the Republican party one inspector, one clerk, one additional clerk andsone ballot clerk for each precinet. Mr. Smiley took up the cudgels the 1n. stant he was recognized by the chair, and protested strongly against the adoption of any such measure, He said that the fact was well known to all that the Democrats and Populists were in accord. TUnder the circumstances, it would be totally unfair to the party that he represented to allow the Populists two representatives on each board. The officers should be divided be- tween the two big parties, The Demo- crats and Populists, he said, were prac- tically one party, and it would be mani- festly unjust to rflve one party seven representatives and the other only five. n spite of Mr. Smiley’s objections the measure was adopted unanimously, the only Republican member, City Surveyor Tilton, explaining his vote by saying that the majority of the election board officers were bound, from the complexion of ti® commission, to be Democratic anyway. He did not see what difference one officer made. The matter of citations to prospective voters to nprnr and show cause why their names should be removed from the doubt- ful list was then taken up. It was decided to instruct the Registrar to place special delivery stamps on each envelope, so that the commission can be satisfied that those who are under suspicion receive their no- tices to appear. The hearing of these mat- ters will be begun on Wednesday next and continued dxilgy until all of z'ncycml are disposed of. Bishop Foreman, a well-known com- mercial traveler of this City, will not vote at the eomin§ election because he failed to register before leaving on one of his trips about the State. He was in San Luis Obispo when the thought struck him that be would like tu vote, and he wrote to a friena asking him to register the name of Bishop Foreman by proxy. How the friend managed to carry out the commis- sion is a mystery, but he did so, and the Commissioners took the name oft the list yesterday because of the law that prohibits such proceedings. The Commissioners received word that proceedings would be begun to test the question as to whether the Legislature has lh: right to r:!ttriot thai }lime in which voters can register to eighty-five da; baxzre ale:eum;.

His Description Leads to the Arrest of Two of His Accomp’ices. STOLEN PROPERTY RECOVERED, The Gang Believed to Ba the Perpstrators of Numerous Burglaries Recently. Numerous burglaries have been com- mittea recently on Nob Hill, in the Western Addition and in the Mission, and the staff of detectives and several police- men in plain clothes have been working hard to capture the burglars. Four men were strongly suspected, but it was not until Saturday night that sus- picion developed into a certainty, afid two of thesgang and a woman were arrested. The residence of William 8. Duval, general agent of the Continental Insur- ance Company, 1012 Pine street, was en- tered on the night of Sunday, August2. The family had zone into the country the previous day, and the burglars were able toJoot the house undisturbed. They car- ried off jewelry and other articles valued at $760. The purglary was discovered on the following day, when Mrs, Duval ve- turned from the country, and was reported to the police. Captain Lees’ residence ie in the same block, being 1022, and the burglary in the Duval residence being in such close proximity spurred on the police to greater etforts to arrest the burglars. But some- thing else oceurred to add greater stimu- lus to these efforts. One of the gang had the audacity to “‘beard the lion in his den,” or in other words to pay an early morning visit to the residence of Captain Lges. This was the last straw, and the captain gave per- emptory orders that the bold gang must be captured at ail bazards. About 2 ¢’clock last Saturday morning Policeman Ingham, the officer on the beat, happened to be passing the captain’s residence and heard a noise as if some one had jumped off a fence in the rear. He made his way to the rear and made & careful search,of the yard, but was unable to discover any stranger lurking around. The sergeant came along and Ingham told him of the noise be nad heard, Bothmen went again to the rear, but no one could be seen. 5 ingham decided to secrste himself across the street in the Lope that the | burglar would make his appearance when there was apparently nobody around. About twenty minutesto 4 o’clock a young man dressed in a light overcoat came along Pine street at a rapid gait and opened the gate leading to Captain Lees’ residence, As he was mounting the steps Ingham ran across the street from his hiding place and hailed bim with tbe question, ‘‘What are you doing there?” The burglar was equal to the emergency and he quickly replied: “That’s all right; I belong bere.”” He walked up the re- maining steps, coolly inserted a key in the front door and entered the house. Ingkam was nonplused by the burglar’s coolness. He knew Captain Lees and his on Fred, the License Coliector, but te id not know the captain’s son-in-law, who lives in the house, and he thought the stranger might be the son-in-law. He, however, decided to go back to his hiding place thinking that if the stranger was a burglar he would come out of the house and then it wouid be easy to arrest him. But he waited in vain, The burglar was evidently scared by his unexpected encounter with Ingham. He did not take time to make a selectiou of the captain's bric-a-brac, but walked up- stairs and along the hnllwly to the rear where there is a window on a level with a shed. He opened the window, stepped on to the'shed and slipped over the wail into the next house tothe east. The lady who occupies this house had been awakened by the noise made by Ingham and the sergeant two hours before, and could not sleep again. She heard the burglar as he dropped into her yard, and saw him walk across her yard and climb over the fence into the adjoining yard. Then he changed his mind and climbed back into her yard, possibly with the intention of re-entering the captain’s house by the opea window. As he got into the lady’s yard she opened the window through which she had been looking and asked him what he was doing there. He did not reply, but hurriedly scaled the wall to the east and disappeared from her view. It is sup- posed he climbed over the fences till he reached Taylor street, thereby eluding the vigilance of Policeman Ingham. The captain iot a good description of the burglar from Ingham and the lady nexu door, which led to the identity of the gang, and Detectives Gibson and Wren soon lo- cated them ina_house on Grant avenue. They detailed Policemen Peshon and Adams to watch the house. They arrested Kate Brown, a young woman who lived with one of the gang, and on searching ner room they found pearly all the jew- elry stolen from the Duval residence. She was taken to the City Prison and detained as a witness. Later in the nifibt Gibson and Wren ar- rested Patrick Kelly and William Mar- tin, two ex-convicts and members of the gang, and the detectives and others are still hunting for the other two. The residence of George W. Warren, 725 Eddy street, was broken into Friday afternoon while the family was in the country, and looted. The full extent of the loss will not be known till the family returns. This gang is supposed to have “done the job,” They are supposed to have gone in pairs and the two not yet captured are believed to be the men who broke into theresidence of A. C. Boldemann, 2634 Howard street, Saturday night. Mr, Boldemann and family went to the Columbia Theater, and on returning found the pantry window in the rear open and about $400 worth of jewelry missing besides several relics | which” were of great value to the family owing to their associations. Leroy Harvey on Trial. The impaneling of the jury in the case of the People against Leroy G. Harvey for em- bezzlement consumed all the afternoon yester- day in Judge Bahrs’ court. Harvey ischarged With appropriating 1 his own use seventy-five |, f stock of the Oakland Gas, Light and g::;e:::m.pmy, valued at $40 share. The ‘case will come on for trial to-day.
