16 COL. CROCKER 0UT OF THE FIGAT, Tas Resigned as a Candi- date for Presidential Elector. S0 HAS W. W. MONTAGUE The Former Ineligible—The Lat- ter Makes a Patriotic Sacrifice. BY ADVICE OF MR. SPRECKELS. Harmony in the Party to Be Regarded Above All Other Consid- erations. ‘W. W. Montague, Republican nominee for Presidential elector from the Fourth Congressional District, sent the following letter to the Republican State Central Committee yesterday afternoon as the re- sult of a conference with John D. Spreckels: SN FRANCISCO, Aug. 28, 1896. Major Frank McLaughlin, Chairman Republi- can State Central ( ommittee—DEAR SIR: I recog- nize your committee as the only suthority and power in the management of the affairs of the Republican party 1n this State. I know thet your committee has been greatly exer- cised over the contention for Presidencial elector in the Fourth Congressional District. The political issue is too critical to the pros- perlty of our Nation and I am t0o g0od & Re- publican and citizen to be a party where such a condition, if continued to am 1ssue, might lose an elector for McKiniey in that district, therefore [ tender vou my resignation 8s a candidate for Presidential elector in the Fourth Congressional District. For forty years 1 have been a Republican, And you may rest assured that I shail do all I can for the successof the Republican party, as I have dore in the past. Hoping that this will meet with the unani- mous approval of your eommittee, I remain, yours truly, W. W. MONTAGUE. Mr. Montague acted upon the advice of John D. Spreckels that it would be better ior him to withdraw in order to secure harmony in the party and in order that the prospects of the certain victory for McKinley and Hobart in California might not be clouded with two opposing candi- dates for elector upon the ticket. Colonel Charies F. Crocker also tendered his resignation as a candidate for elector, for the reason that his name not having been placed on the great register he wounld not be entitled to vote at the next election and would therefore not be eligiole as a candidate. His letter is as follows: FrANCISCO, Aug. 28, 1896. Hon. Frank McLaughlin, Chairman Repub ican | State Central Committee—DEAR SIR: I hereby tender my resignation asa candidate of the Republican party for Presidential elector of this State. Being absent from the State during the allowed for registration of voters by the present law, I failed ‘o secure my registra- tion, although my return was almost three months prior 1o the election, and was very much surprised to learn that the law had been amended so as 1o close the time for registra- tion on the 9th of August, although in former regisiration had been allowed up to within a month of the election. Iam advised that the fact that my name does not appear on the great register renders me ineligible for the office for which I am nominated, or at least raises a serious quesiion as to such eligibility. While I deeply appreciate the honor con- ferred upon me by this nomination the ques- tion of my eligibility raised above might pos- sibly obstruct or embarrass the success of our arty, and I therefore forego my eandidacy. I eel 8 personal interest in the result of the ele and was proud to be so directly connected with establishing in this State and Nation the principles for which the 1blican party stands. I wish to assure you that this action will in no wise diminish my earnest personal efforts throughout this campaign to promote the elec- tion of the Republican ticket, and thus secure the prosperity and welfare of all the people. Yours very truly, CHARLES F. CROCKER. Colonel Crocker said to a CALL reporter shortly after he had sent his resignation to the committee that he had been actu- ated solely for the good of the Republican party. 1f he remained on the ticket and the Bupreme Court should decide that he was ineligible one electoral vote would be lost to Major McKinley. He said that he has as strong a personal interest in the election of Major McKinley as any citizen could have, and for that reason he did not wish to injure Major McKinley’s chances. He addea that he had given his reasons fully in the letter of resignation, and there was nothing that he could add to them. The State Central Committee will meet in a few days and will fill the vacancy. —_—— BRYAN’S CROSS OF GOLD J. A. Stephens Declares the Demo- crats Are the Crucifiers. The James G. Blaine Republican Club is one of the most enthusiastic of the many local clubs loyal to patriotism, prosperity and protection. At the meeting held in Koights of the Red Branch Hall last night Thomas Desmond presided and Mi- chael McCormick acted as secretary. J. A. Btephens was the speaker of the evening. Mr.Stephens prefaced his remarks with a glowing tribute to James G. Blaine. After recounting the disastrous effects of Democratic policy, he said: “If Mr. Bryan can convince you that if he be elected he can change the laws of nature and make water run uphill then believe him on this silver question. But if Daniel Webster and Lincoln and Grant couldn’t do it Idon’t believe this young man from the Piatte can do it. It has been said the gold-miners are willing to sacri- fice themselves in favor of tne silver- miners and of the country. I don’t be- NEW TO-DAY.

They think just as mauch of their country as any other mul- lionaires, but when they get a million they are always figuring on how to get another million, “Wher Mr. Bryan made his famous speech in Chicago he said: ‘You shall not press the crown of thoras upon the brow of labor; you shall not crucify hu- manity upon a cross of gold.” We ask him, Who pressed the thorns upon the brow of labor? Who crucitied humanity upon the cross of gold? It was the Democratic party by its policy of free trade. It was William J. gryan‘ who was the most elo- quent advocate of this policy. The Amer- ican people are going to say to Mr. Bryan, this worshiper of the chimerical goddess silver; that hero ot the will-o’-the-wisp financiers of America: ‘We are will- ing to bear*your crown of thorns if we must; we are willing to be crucified upon a cross of gold if we must, but we will not allow him to stamp upon tais fair country the damnable word ‘repudiation’; we will not let him stain the flag of this great Re- public in dishonor.” L Frank Davey made a brief but eloquent address in favor of McKinley and the Re- publican platform. A resolution was adopted recommending Thomas Desmona for the nomination of Superintendent of Streets. Mr. Desmond gracefully ac- knowledged the compliment. b L GERMAN REPUBLICANS.

All arrangements have been perfected for the big Republican mass-meeting at the Auditorium, corner of Jones and Eddy streets, to-night. There is wide- spread interest in the speech to be made by M. M. Estee on protection and the financial question. Mr. Estee has de- voted many years of study to the subjects of protection and finance. His address, or rather talk, will not be garlanded with the flowers of rhetoric and framed with those Delsarte gestures in which boy orators are wont to indulge, but will be a plain, logical statement of the issues now before the people. The gallery will be reserved for ladies and their escorts. The opening of the new headquarters of the National Republican League will take place to-night in Pioneer Hall with a mass-meeting, at which the following- named will speak: Irving M. Scott, Rev. Anna Shaw, Hon, Frank L. Coombs, Gen- eral Robert A. Friedrich, Z. U. Dodge, Judge Henry C. Dibble, William F. Gib- son, Judge M. J. Waldheimer, Louis Titus, James A. Stephens and A. R. Kanaga. —_— SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. Veterans True Blue for McKinley and Protection. The McKinley Veteran Soldiers and Sailors Republican Club was gratified last evening when Secretary E. P. Morey read two autograph lerters, one from Major McKinley dated Canton, Ohio, and one from Garret A. Hobart, dated at Pat- erson, N.J., thanking the club for the preamble and resolutions sent to the dis- tinguished gentlemen and the assurance of their support. The club passed a resolution to attend in a body the Republican mass-meeting at the Auditorium this evening when M, M. Estee will speak. Stirring addresses were made by Andrew Branch, Charles E. Wilson, W. B. Mayd- well and Chairman Fergus Hansen, after which clay pipes, tobacco and beer made the veterans happy. A resoiution was adopted indorsing the candidacy for Sheriff of L. E. Jones of 1714 Market street, J“he club adjourned to meet again next Friday evening at 113 Turk street. —_—— Spreckels Club.

Nugent, LL.D., of Des Moines, Iowa, is at present visiting his namesake, the rector of St. Brendan’s Church, in this City. Dr. Nugent has been traveling in the Northwest country, and expresses himself as believing in a grand future for that portion of the Union. As for California, the reverend gentleman finds it hard to make up his mind to re- turn to his wind-swept parish in Iowa, where he is much beloved by his flock. Dr. Nugent is a lecturer. of marked ability, and during the two months’ va- cation which he is now enjoying he has lost no chance to take notes for talks in other localities. He will deliver one of his best lectures to-morrow evening at St. Brendan’s Church, corner of Fremont and Harrison streets. The admission fee will be 50 cents, children halt price. Itis said that non-Catholics find Dr. Nugent's lec- lEn"ls mrugtularly i:ters!tinz, and in the astern ates they have fr formed his entire ludlyence. i i ————— THE silver question explained in a simple way in to-day’s Star.

GOLD MINING AND THE SILVER WAVE Bryan’s Election Would Cause Capital to Withdraw. PROSPECTING NO MORE. Colonel Malcolm D. Calkins Fur- nishes Some Interesting Facts. MINERS SEEING THE TRUTH They Do Not Want to Be Paid in Fifty-Cent Dollars and Will Vote for McKinley. Colonel Malcolm D. Calkins of the Amador Record, is in the City. He nas talked with many miners from all would not help us. How can it help any one to be paid in 50-cent dollars? The Populists in Amador County are very sore at the way they have been goobled up— bagged, so to speak. There is nodoubt at all that the silver craze, if Bryan should be elected, would prove.disastrous to pros- ecting for mines throughout the State, here is not any Republican paper in the interior which is not standing up for Mec- Kinley and honest money, with the excep- tion of the Sacramento Bee. The real secret of the silver agitation is the great com bination of capitalists owning Ameri- can silver mines and hoping also to own all the Mexican silver mines which are not already in their possession or under their control. This immensely rich silver- mine syndicate is not making a poor man’s campaign. On the contrary, itis a rich man’s campaign—a campaign in the interest of one of the greatest com- bines of capital that has ever existed in the United States.” THEY SLEEP IN BUNKS. Why Eleven Men Registered From One Room of the Orystal Lodging-House. The Election Commissioners thought they had struck a lead in their search for stuffers yesterday when, in theirinvestiga- tions, they came to the Crystal Houss, a 10-cent lodging-house in the basement of the Koster House at 675 Howard street. It appeared that eleven men were reg- istered from one room and the Commis- sioners wanted to know how this came about. The proprietor and his clerk were both present and swore that the men roomed in the house. 5 They explained that 8 gennine bed was not given for 10 cents, but that the one large room comprising the *‘house” con- tained a large number of bunks, and that each of the eleven alleged stuffers joccu- pied one of these. Though the explanation seemed plaus- COLONEL MALCOLM D. CALKINS. parts of California during the past few months; in fact, since the Nationai polit- What Colonel Calkins bad yesterday to say to a reporter for THE CavrL was of more than common interest. Colonel Calkins has been in California many years, having first come here in 1850, and during the long period elapsing since that date he has been familiar with the mining interests of the State. “*California is a gold State naturally,” said Colonel Calkins, *‘and the miners are aware of this. The preponderance in gold production in California aboye the silver proauction is an annual object'lesson upon this point. TLast year California produced upward of $15,000,000 in lgnld. according to the official figures, while tLe production of silverin this State was relatively very small. This is, however, only one view of the case. “A large amount of capital is concerned in prospecting tor gold and in opening up for exploitation new gold mines in this State at this time. Take, for instance, Ama- dor County, which is 1llusirative, as the same general conditions exist in the other great gold-producing counties of Califor- ma. Inour onecounty of Amador gold- mining enterprises are under considera- tion, which in twelve or in eighteen months at the outside wiil involve an ex- penditure of $500,000 at least. This de- penas, however, upon Republican suc- eess, for if the silver craze has its way these enterprises will be discourarzed. “The Oneida mine will put $200,000 into preliminary work alone. I have no pa- tience with the people who are fomenting this silver craze. But,” said the zolonel, “Bryan stands a much poorer chance of carrying California than he had juss after he was nominated. At that time there were a great many miners who thought that the free coinage of silver would be a great benefit to them by increasing their wages. They figured it out in this way: That the demand for labor in the silver miues in other States would take out all the idle miners from California and so make a demand for those that remained. Now, when it occurs to them that they may have to accept 50-cent silver dollars 1 payment for their work theirideas have changed somewhat, and they are cominy 3ulsr to vote for protection and an honest ollar. ““We clearly see in the interior of Cali- fornia that protection is the real issue of this campaign. The free coinage of silver ible, the Commissioners desired to in" vestigate further and continued the hear- ing for one week. — e ————— ON PRESIDIO HEIGHTS. The Sterling Republican Club of That Locality Has a Ladies’ Night.’ The Presidio Heights Republican Ciuh’ held a meeting in 1ts new wigwam on Maple street, between Clay and Washing- ton, last evening. It was a ladies’ night as a large number of the fair future voters were present, The meeting was presided over by Dr. Regensburger. William H. Schooler and School Di- rector Thomas Knox addressed the audi- ence in pithy and entertainig speeches, scoring the Nebraska man and his Demo- :nl:ltio-Populisl-silvar following anmerci- ully. r. Knox said the silver dollar is worth 53 cents, and who is going to back and be responsible for the other 47 cents. “We are a borrywing nation,” said he, “and borrow largely from England, who exacts the gold dollar in return. Who is to pay that extra 47 cents when we get to silver exclusively? And how can we borrow money if we give outin advance that we intend to repudiaté the difference between a gotd and a silver dollar? This is a silver miners’ campaign against the sound-money Republican party—a cam- paign of the people who have bullion to sell, and the (ycvernmgnt, will be asked to put & high market price on the output of the Colorado mines.” Miss Shaw stepped on the platform amid prolonged apolause an went directly into the subject of her speech, as follows: Ican’tsay I am a Republican or anything as et. Tam {wt good_enough to be a Reguh— {leln, not free enough to be a Democrat, have not stffered enough to be s Populist and am not sober enough to be & Prohibitienist. But if the Republican party be true to its 3“‘”" to its glorious past, we will be good enough for its ranks. The Republican pmwm that suffrag &I-nk into 1ts platform ause it thought the time was ripe for the emancipa- ‘tion of the ballotless part of the people, and that women, who bear part of the burdens of taxation, should take part in the government. —————————— A resident in Moscow or 8t.

ALL FOR PROTECTION. Ladies’ Night of the Continental League a Brilliant Success. SLENDER HANDS GIVE PRAISE. Senator Perkins and Congressman Loud Deliver Timely and Pa- triotic Addresses. Youth and old age, wit, wisdom and beauty, were common companions at the “Ladies’ Night” meeting, heid under the auspices of the Continental Leagueat Sar- atoga Hall last night. It was a rarely intelligent audience, the gentler sex largely predominating. They were extremely liberal in their applause of the patriotic utterances, eyidencing the fact that the women of the land are taking a keen and lively interest in affairs polit- ical. The evening’s entertainment opened with an overwure by an orchestra, followed by a few remarks from Frank D. Worth, president of the league. He said the gathering was intended particularly for the entertainment and benefit of the ladies, but he expected they would take such a lively interest in the league that they would find it convenient to work for McKinley and Hobart, the Republican nominees for President snd Vice-Presi- dent respectively. s A The league was organized less than six months ago, he said, with a membership of only seventy-five. At this time the membership was considerably over 1300, and he hoped that within a few months it would swell well into the thousands. Senator George C. Perkins was the first speaker of the evening. After paying a neat compliment to the ladies, tle Sena- tor among other things said: “We come before tue people and ask what are tbe issues of the day? We know that most of you ladies are Repub- licans because it is the party of progress, of enterprise and prosperity. as the present administration done anything for the good of the country? The record shows that it has not. Four years ago this land was happy and prosperous. Every man or woman who wanted to make a living was enabled to do so. There have been no disasters, no scourges, yet no sooner were the ballots counted three years ago than the trouble began. There was a general distrast. “The manufacturer said he would run on short time, and_that feeling prevailed in all business. When Harrison delivered his final address in 1893 he congratulated the peoPle on the prosperity of the coun- try.. No sooner was Cleveland inaug- urated than an unheard-of thing vccurred. An army of tramps, which increased with each day. began a march toward Wash- ington. It was a sad spectacle, but there was no remedy.” Senator Perkins then in a general way called attention to the first act of Cleve- land in calling a special session of Con- gress to repeal the purchasing silver clause. The disaster that this act had brought about needed no comment. He referred 1incidentally to- the fact thata duty should be placed on all foreign goods which compete with home productions. Congressman Loud and Hon. H. C. Dib- ble followed in brief addresses in which they predicted the utter rout of the Dem- ocratic party in November and the conse- quent return of an era of prosperity. The officers and vice-presidents of the Continental League are as follows: Frank G. Worth, president; Will E. Fisher, first vice-president; William T. Kibbler, second vice-president; Maurice L. Asher, secretary; William R. Jost Jr., treasurer; Thomas R. Rid- ing, sergeant-at-arms; B. L. Hesseitine, finan- cial secretary; Amos Currier, B. Flint, James Kip, Niels Jessen, C. H.

The National Republican League will give an entertainment at Pioneer Hall to- ni-ht. There will be addresses from the following centlemen: Irving M. Scott, Hon. Frank T. Coombs, General Robert A.
