Spreckeis and of County Clerk Curry. HARMONY IN THE PARTY The Campaign Opened Und:r the Most F:attering Auspices for ’ Success. County Clerk Curry’s attention was called yesterday to an article in the Chronicle setting forth that he and John D. Spreckels had quarreled and that Mr. Curry was about to discharge from his office all deputies friendly to A. J. Martin | and John D. Spreckels. Mr. Curry was surprised more than any one else when he read the exuberant fake, and he at once dispatched a messenger to Mr.'Spreckels to assure him that the state- ment was an utter falsehood and had not | been suggested by or emanated from him. | Thesame paper has charged that Mr. | Spreckels had turned the local Republi- | can organization over to Messrs. Martin | and Crimmins and that he had a confer- | ence recently with Christopher A. Buck- | ley regarding the management of the political campaign. | These statements were made for the pur- | pose of creating the impression that the | Republicans of this City are not har- | monious and of injuring the prospects of | County Clerk Curry, when asked yester- the Chronicle, replied that the statements were false from beginning to end. He | was on the most friendly terms with Mr. [ Spreckels and had not had a quarrel or a disagreement with him in any manner or He could not under- | stand why the Chronicle should print | with the intention of injuring the pros- pects of the local Republican party. Im- to Mr. Spreckels to assure him that the | article had been published without his knowledge or sanction and that it wasa | John D. Spreckels, when interviewed re- garding the article, said that it was a lie | “There is absolutely no foundation for | it,” he added. *“It was invented and pub- | lished for the purpose of injuring the Re- | publican party. The other day that paper | contained a statement that I had hada | conierence. -with Chbris Buckley in- the | Hotel Bavoy. Now, the fact of the matter is that I have not spoken to Chris Buck- | ley in two years, and I don’t know where the Hotel Savoy is. All the statements | in the Chronicle are absolutely false and | made out of whole cloth. It has a habit | | of publishing a deliberate lie about a man and then sending some one around the | next day to ask if it was true. shave no personsal interest in politics, | except that I want to see the Repubtican | party succeed because it is the only party that has ever brought prosperity to the people. Tt is the only party under which the interests of business men and wage- workers alike are safe. My desire is to have the Republicans of this City united | in order that they may march solidly upon the enemy. Persons who desire the de- { feat of the Republican party are doing all in their power to create discord and a split in the party. My only aim is to keep it together. I do this simply because I am | 8 Republican and proud of my party and rejoicing in its success. “Mr. Curry and myself have been and | are on the most friendly terms. He sent | a messenger to me this morning 1o assure me that the statement in the Chronicle was a lie pure and simple. It is not true either that 1 have handed the local organi- zation over to Martin and Crimmins. The | local organization does not belong to me nor to any other man or set of men. Re- | publicans are intelligent and can do their own thinking. They are united in this State and will continue so.” Toe Chrenicle’s fake afforded much | ansusement to politicians all over the City. They marveled at the brazen ingenuity the entire output of silver dollars would not exceed 5,000,000 per mouth or 60,000,000 & year. ? 1f the voter who thinks the free and un- limited coinage of silver is the panacea for his financial ilis and suffering, and succeeds in successfully aiaing the enthusisstic silver mine owner and speculator_in dumping their cents’ worth of silver into the mints and receive the Governmental indorsement or guarantee thereon for 100 centsswho will re- ceive the profit betweeu the true value and the indorsed or guaranteed value? Tt certainly would not be the laborer, me- chanic or farmer, but would_be the mine-own- ers, brokers and other speculators. 1f the silver legislators, in their great gener- osity toward the suffering people, should make the Government much more paternal than it is at present, give something for nothing and enact laws distributing the whole coinage of silver among the masses pro rata after pur- chasing it at 129 cents per ounce (it being worth about one-half the price), it would be a very slow process in the way of relieving financial distress and want and doing away with “-hard times,” as each of our population would get less than $1 a year. The Mint and Sub-Treasury of San Francisco nold over 60,000,000 of these standard dollars. OQur Mint also has enough sil¥er bullion in ad- dition to coin 15,000,000 more, called seignior- age or profits. This bullion is being coined into silver dol- lars (as it cannot be coined under the law into ang otner denomination) at the rate of per month, and the output will soon creased to about $1,000,000 per month. This mass of silver dollars would load 2250 carts at the ratio of one ton Lo each cart. As an object lesson, imagine a procession of carts driven as close as would be safe, a ton of silver dollars on each cart, and the silyer enthusiast on the start shouting for the coinage of more silver dollars! This procession would reach from the Cliff House to tne Oakland ferry and would only lliansler the silver douars in San Francisco alone. These silver dollars can be obtained by any person having the financial ability to put up 100 cents for them (they being intrinsically worth less than 54 cents) and have them shipped to their order to any express station in Alasks, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado or intermediate poiuts free from expense of transportation, as that expense is borne by the Government. The issue of the greenback currency during our civil war and its effect upon the financial conditions at the time I well remember, as many others do. It was & case of great emer- gency aud done from patriotic motives, and all of the loyal States except California acqui- esced in and acted upon the changed condi- tions produced by an immense volume of cur- rency. Tnfi effect of the issue was that before a greenback was seen in circulation the gold and silver 1n circulation in the East disappeared as if by magic, and business men issued shin- plasters, and even postage stamps were used for change. The result was an infiation of values and 1t seemed for a while that the peo- ple were prosperous, but it was a delusion and the East to-day is sufiering from “hard times,” as all other sections are. I know of large farming sections of New York State where the farms are mortgaged for 50 per cent more than they were before the ereenback issue. Of all the States in the Union that should avoid the hallucination and dein- sion of the silver sentiment it is California, on acconnt of the specific contracts that require thatall debts shall be paid in gold coin.

A SODA-WATER BOTTLE BURST The Schooner Nettie Sundborg, From Point Sur, Nearly Wrecked on a S.eeping Whale. Nothing but heavy weather seems to have prevailed of late between Sydney, N. S. W. ana Apia, Samoa. On her trip the ; Monowai was caught in a gale between shock that brought everybody on deck in a hurry. The vessel heeled over until her port rail was under water, and the general impression was that she had run aground. Jt was only a whale, however, and its frantic efforts to escape made all the trouble. The fluke of the anchor had be- come fastened in the mammal, and it left nearly four square feet of hide bebind it as a memento of its encounter. Captain Johnson says that if whalecrs are anxious they need not waste any time, as all they have to do 1s to wait and the whales W go to them. One of the prettiest sights seen on the bay for many a day was furnished by the German ship Peru yesterday. The vessel came here from North Shields, England, via Taltal. The latter port Captair Ohling put into for orders. On arriving here she came to anchor ofi Meiggs wharf. When orders came to move to the Rolling-mills to discharge her cargo of coal an offer of a tugboat was made. A fresh breeze was blowing and after declining the offer Cap- tain Ohling set his two lower topsails and jib, raised his anchor and sailed up the ay as easily and gracefully as a yacht. be steam schooner Protection, which arrved from Usal yesterday, had a rough experience off Fort Bragg last Wednesday. There was a heavy northwest swell and several seas broke aboard. Some of the deckload of lumber and part of the after rail were carried away. The most valuable cargo ever shipped from San Francisco in a sailing ship will leave here in the Celticburn. It is as- ressed at a little under $218,000, and thus more than aoables the value of the goods taken away by the Somali in 1894. The latter is the largest British ship afloat, but her cargo was all wheat, while the Celtic- burn’s is general merchandise, as fotlows: Barley, 13.692 centals; bran, 1800 sacks; cotton, 10,942 pounds; bark, 931 sacks: canned vegetables, 145 'coses; canned fruit, 43,674 cases; flour, 2000 barrels; honey, 20 cases; spirit liquors, 70 eallons; salmon, 11,- 206 cases; wheat, 37,024 centals. Value $247,271. The shipments of flour to Eurove are may be somewhat different in States where the contracts call only for ‘‘lawful money,” but free and unlimited coinage of silver will not relieve them. Very truly yours, ISRAEL Pt BRYAN AND SAMSON. Congressman’s Loud’s Eloquent Speech Before the Forty-First District Club. The Republicans of the Forty-first Dis. trict attended the McKinley Club meeting of that district in force last night to listen to an address on campaign issues by Con- gressman Eugene F. Loud. “If you would get the Republican argu- ments in favor of protection in a nutshell,” he said, “you would better study McKin- ley’s letter of acceptance than anything else with which T am acquainted. I deem it the most cogent, clear and concise letter of acceptance, embodying the issues be- fore the American people, ever 1ssued by any Presidential nominee in the history of our Nation.” Bryan, he said, was more of a Populist than anything else, and more of a stumpspeaker than either, and while in Congress all his efforts were devoted to securing consideration for Populistic measures. The protective issue he avoids entirely, and will do nothing but rant on free silver. The history of tbhe Republican party, he asserteq, was a history of honorable acts and unselfish motives, while the Demo- crats haa turned thingsintodisorder every time they had got into office. He had no doubt the people would show no hesita- tion in choosing this time between the Republican party and safe government and Democratic Populism and chaos. Loud was followed by Henry C. Dibble, who made a forcible and eloquent speech on the radical and conservative periods in the history of the party of Lincoln and Grant. Chairman Firebaugh compared Bryan to Samson, who broke the pillars of the temple and went to the grave with the assembled throng. The pillar in this case, he said, is free silver, and Bryan is clinging to it in despair. If he can only get the country to vote for it it will send the whole country to perdition to keep himself company. — e Ladies’ Night.

WTON. ) I g M ‘;;/2 ! THE CORRIVEAU ESTATE AGAIN, Four Suits Were Brought Yesterday on Ac- count of It. ATTACHMENTS FILED Upon Realty Owned by C. 0 Swanberg and Henry W. Westphal, AND ALSO UPON THEIR STOCKS Public Administrator Freese Makes a Move to Bring a Noted Case to an Issue. Another move has been taken to secure from C. O. Swarhberg and Henry W. West- phal property aileged to have belonged to the estate of Louis Corriveau, deceased. During the many months since Corriveau died the estate has figured in the public press to a large extent, owing to several more or less sensational occurrences and some sensational allegations concerning the diversion of Corriveau’s property. The latest move occurred vesterday, when four suits were begun in the name of Public Administrator Freese to recover from Swanberg and Westphal amounts aggre- gating $36,000. Three of these suits are directed jointly against Messrs. Swanberg and Westphal and one against Swanberg separately. 4 The suit brought against Swanberg is for $10,000. The suits in which both de- fendants are joined made up the total named in the foregoing, one being for $20.000, one for $5000 and one for a smaller amount. By virtue of these four suits attach- ments have issued against nearly all of the property of the two defendants that can_be discovered, both real and personal. This 1ncludes eleven parcels of real estate, mostly on Mission street, and also the stock owned by both of the defendants in thejMerchants’ Ice and Cold Storage Com- pany, of which Mr. Westphal is the secre- tary and treasurer. The total amount rep- resented by the fonr suits does not repre- sent much more than half of the value of what the Corriveau estate was supposed to be worth a sew months prior to the deatn Chief Steward O.

His Opinion on the Effect of an Unlimited Supply of Sliver. Israel Lawton, one of the best informed men on the coast on the subject of finance, has addressed the following interesting open letter to A. C. Schlesinger: VILLA LA Jota, NAPA COUNTY, CAL., August 25, 1896. | A. C. Schlesinger Esq.—DEAR SIE: Our inter- | view & few days since indicated that although | we differ upon old party lines we agree upon the controlling issue of tne coming campaign; and believe it is the duty of all good conserva- tive and law-abiding citizens to do all in their power to convince the electors that the scheme of the advocates of free and unlimited coinage of silver is unsound in theory, and if putinto ractice wiil result in financial disaster the ifke of which bhas never been seen in this country. Having had an experience of four years as superintendent of the United States Mint | San Francisco, &nd always taking much inter- { est in the study of financial questions, I feel warranted in giving some facts and figures on the financial situation as to the coinage of standard silver dollars, and which you are at liberty to use as you may see fit in curing the financial lunacy involved in the proposition of free and unlimited coinage of silver. The Government for eighty years of its existence and up to 1873 coined about 8,000,000 silver e passed by C in 1873 by A law was ed by Congress in which the individual depollg for the coin: 4 of silver was stopped, which law is now de- nounced by the silver enthusiast as a great ontrage and crime, although 1t was fully de- bated and considered and in fact advocated by some legislators who are now proclaiming their incompetency for legislators by repudiat- ing their own acts. Since 1873 the Government has coined 000,000 standard silver aollars. If the increased coinage of silver doliars in twenty-three years at the rate of 50 to 1 over the coinage of eighty years before did not bring prosverity and good times how can it be accomplished by the free and unlimited coin- age of silver? 1i 1l the mints of the United States were put into full operation and directed to coin ail the standard silver dollars they were able to be- sides attending to the necessary gold coinage, subsidiary coins, nickels and other smallcoins, singers on the piano. At 10:30 o’clock dancing will begin. S Club Officers Elected.

Harris; sergeant-at-arms, John Riley; en- rollment committee—William Goldstein chairman), Samuel Fischer, Al McCusher, ames _Cotter; executive committee— Louis Harris (chairman), Henry Egan, Eugene King and Joe Salasme. One hundred and twenty-five members signed the roll. SRS AT The Blalne Club. The Blaine Club will meet this evening at K. R. B. Hall, corner of Mason and O’Farrell streets. There will be a good programme of music and speeches. Republican Notes. General E. S. Salomon organized a Ger- man Republican club last week with twenty-nine members, and has requested them to join the new club organized last night. Ernest Weyand of Colusa and A. W. Simpson of Stockton were among the visitors to the Republican State Central Committee headquarters yesterday. They report sound money and protection as the live issues in those places. Major McLaughlin, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, has designed an elegant poster, which has just been lithographad in colors. 'The top represents a bust of William McKin- ley over two American flags. On one side are scenes representing carpenters and ot er artisans at work under the Repub- lican system of protection. On the other side are vignettes showing scenes of idleness and destitution under tbe Democratic system of free trade. Then is given an object lesson on the market rice of wheat from 1880 to 1891 under emocratic and Republican administra- tions, showing an avera~e of 90.2 cents per bushel under the Republican Adminisu tion aud 65.7 under the Democratic ad- ministration. the eye and sewing up the wound, and while Mr. Clark cannot now see as well as usual still the disfigurementis very slight. He still wears glasses, but otherwise no one would know that he had had such a narrow escape. Clark is one of the oldest employes in the service of the Oceanic Steamship Company. He joined the Ala- meda when she was launched from Cramps’ shipyard and has remalined by her ever since. He is a great favorite with the traveling Pupflc and every one was sorry to hear of his painful accident.

The young lady gradu- ated from Rincon Hill Grammar School last year and took a pleasure trip to the Antipodes with her mother. In the home of Thomas Abbott of Waverly—one of Sydney’s suburbs—a party was held and Mrs. Graham was presented yith a ruby ring and Miss Graham with a handsomely fitted traveling-bag. Both presents were made as a mark of esteem in which Mrs. Graham is held by the Australian travel- inz public. Captain O. M. Johnson and crew of the schooner Netiie Sundborg bad a startling experience off Monterey Bay a couple of days ago. The schooner was on her way from Point Sur for San Francisco, d making good time.

When the steamer Alameda was at Apis, Samos, the sloop Spray from Boston was in port. She arrived July 31, and Captain Slocum reported a fair-weather gassaga throughout. The intrepid sailor did not round the Horn, but went through the Straits of Magellan and made a fair- weather passage of it all the way. ANARCHY OR ORDER? Judge Carpenter 1hinks Democrats Must Choose Between Them. Resolutions of Respect. Scottish Hall was crowded to the door- way last night to hear Judge R. B. Car- penter speak on campaign issues.

The silver element is ruled by anarchists, socialists and what not. “In some piaces it looks as if the Popu- lists had swallowed the Democrats, but in California the Democrats seem to have gobbled up the Populists. At the coming election we will whiBboth. “What does the Democratic party de- mand? Free and unlimited coinage of silver in the ratio of 16 to 1 and the put- ting forth of rotes without reference to banks or anything else. “What does 16 to 1 mean? Bixteen ounces of silver to one of gold, of course. Can you question which should be re- garded as the standard when one is worth sixteen times as much as the other? “The Republican party believes in the free coinage of silver, but it must be done by international agreement, so that other nations will promise not to dump their silver into our mints. “I will assert, in spite of the Populistic howls, that not a silver coin is now in cir- culation which is not the work of a Re- publican administration.” [Applause.] An excellent musical programme, both vocal and instrumental, was rendered be- fore and after Judge Carpenter’s speech. Approaching time for adjournment, Jo- seph Goddard offered a resolution of respect to the memory of C. H. M, Curry, the father of County Clerk Curry, and one of the organizers of the Pheenix Club, whose body was then lying in state at County Clerk Currv’s home, and thatan adjournment be taken out of respect to their honored member who was no more. The resolution was adopted unanimously, with every show of respect. ————————— Threads of shredded steel are used in Germany as 'a substitute for sandpaper.

The aitorneys have steadily insisted, since the first act in the legal drama became public, that Corrivean was worth at least $60,000 just preceding his death, and that no less amount than this waaz surreptitijusiydiverted within a period of avery few months. Henry W. Westphal is in the City, but C. O. Swanberg 1s supposed to be in Sweden. He left San Francisco about the 21st of last month, presumably bound for Sweden, which is now mentioned _in the City directory as his place of residence. The four suits now begun were instituted by Crittenden Thornton, an attorney for the Public Administraror and also ior Ludwig M. Hoeffer, who represents a Canpadian woman who is the sole legatee under the will of Louis Corriveau. This woman is living on charity, is the ward of a Canadian parish and adds pathos to the singular story of Corriveau’s estate by the contribution of a daily letter, in French, to the literature of tte case. She continually implores that she may receive some of the money which belongs to her under the will. MR- SMi(1H PrOTESTS. Correct Account of His Recent En- counter With Attorney Nagle. There are two sides to every story, and sometimes the wrong side is the first pre- sented to the public view. Such seems to have been the case regarding a recent en- counter between Aftorney Charles G. Naglie and A. R. Smith. Still, Mr. Smith’s account of the affair is no meauns uninter- esting. In a letter to THE CALL he ac- knowledged that he does not like Mr. Nagle and admits having called him a liar. “Mr. Nagle did not flatten me against a building,’”’ pursues Mr. Smith. ‘‘He did NEW TO-DAY.
