PLACED ON EXHIBITION Net Proceeds to Go Toward ths Expenses of “A Night in Sausalito.” FATE OF A RAILROAD SPOTTER He Was Driven Off Jackson Street Wharf in a Shower of Rotten Eggs. The long-sought whale is at last safely moored in the shallow water off Sausalito. Word was received that Captain sters and that it was two miles off Pesca- dero. The tug Vigilant was chartered and started for the scene Friday night. Cap- tain Clem Randall of the tug was accom- panied by Captain C. C. Bruce of the yacht Rover and both were on the bridge the en- tire night. Toward midnight it was de- cided to run into one of the small bays and anchor for the night, but before the tug’s course could be changed the lookout reported a small light ahead. It proved to be the whaleboat made fast to the levia- than. It took some time to get the tow- Iine attached, and it was long after mid- nizht before a start was made for San | Francisco. Sausalito was reached at 7:30 | A. M., and the work of getting the whale ready for exhibition was at once begun. The net proceeds are to go to the **Nignt in Sausalito’ carnival fund and the result should be very satisfactory to those hay- ing the celebration in hand. Captain C. C. Bruce has the matter in charge and he is sure to make a success of 1t. The whaleruen did not return with the Vigilant, but remained out in order to secure another monster. The one at Sau- salito will be embalmed by a special pro- cess, and it is expected that it will keep for | weeks. The men had a most exciting | chase after it. After being struck it fought for an hour and a half and then gave in through loss of blood. The lifeboat was not smashed, as reported, and only one whaler, a man named Pedro, was slightly injured in the face with a lance. The longshoremen on the Jackson-street wharf won their fight yesteriay.

Yesterday the patent did not work well and in consequence sail had to be got on the vessel to get her out of the way of | the ferry-boats.

Southern Pacific spotters are having a hard life of it on the water front.

Ata given signal one of the men hurled a rotten egg. His aim was zood and it struck the object fair in the | back. The spotter wheeled around, but the deckhand was calmly gazing out to sea. | Another signal was given and another egg was thrown. This time it struck the spotter in the back of the neck. Again he wheeled, but only to receive another ege in bis bosom. . Whenever his back was turned an egg | flew, and soon he was plastered all over. .Tha unfortunate tool of the monopoly | stood it about thirty seconds and then fled in dismay. He sought an interview with Agent White at the ferries, but the clerks | hustied him out of the office, while the by- standers held their noses and laughed. The spotter has not b-en seen since and | the railroad has very little information as to what freight the Alviso took away.

NOT A LARGE MEETING The Iroquois Club and Demec- cratic Committee Do the Honors. APPEAL FOR INDORSEMENT. The Fuoding Bill and the Silver Question Are Discussed at Great Length. The prospect of hearing Congressman Maguire discuss seasonable political issues | from tbe Democratic standpoint, and ap- peal for indorsement of his Congressional record, was not sufficient to attract a very large audience—as Metropolitan Temple audiences go—to that plsce last night, though one of the campaign bands worked conscientiously on the sidewalk outside some time before the meeting opened, with a view to arousing a few sparks of public enthusiasm. At 8 o'clock the body of the hall was fairly well filled, but there were many vacant chairs in the gallery. The meeting was held under the joint auspices of the Iroquois Club and the Democratic State Central Committee, Hon. J. H. Parry ‘satisfactorily fulfilling the duties of chairman. Among those who occupied seats upon the platform was Charles Gildea, presi- dent of the Iroquois Club; A. D. Lemon and J. Walsh, vice-presidents, together with a large number of other members of the club and of the State Central Com- mittee. ‘W.J. Broebeck called the meeting to order shortly after 8 o’clock and in open- ing the proceedinygs said that the signs of the times were clear and unmistakably indicated the death of plutocratic govern- ment.q It became now the imperative duty of every citizen ' to assist in the pre- servation of American institutions. His- tory had proved that the American people were capable of seli-government, and the 3d of November next would prove, more- | over, that they know how to preserve that self-government. The speaker of the evening, Congressman Maguire, was re- turning to his constituents to ask for their indorsement of his conduct as their rep- resentative in Congress, and all that was left for himself to do after making this announcement was to introduce the chair- man of the evening, another well-known Democrat—Hon. J. H. Barry. [Appiause.] Mr. Barry referred to Congressman Ma- | guire as one who had accomplished more for this coast during his comparatively brief term of office than any other man he knew. The present campaign he de- scribed as a ‘“Jeffersonian’’ campaign—a campaign of the masses against the classes. The doctrine of free silver meant the storming of the -outworks only, while its realization wonld enable the puLHc to capture the citadel of privilege. r. Estee spoke of ‘‘Wealth as King,” but Mr, Bnrfy informed the meeting that the motto of the Democratic party was, “Labor Shall Be King,”” and when that party elects Mr. Br. in November “Labor would be lzm ."” [Applause. He himself had not properly understoo the real meaning of free silver until he had carefully studied the instructive editorialsjin THE CALL and Chronicle and the essays of Messers. Irving M. Scott and Morris M. Estee. He could only ascribe the sudden change of front on the art of those authorities to the fact that r. Hanna had hysnoliud them. Mr. ]]:(;:n-’ he considered, was the enemy of abor. After further references to what he termed the inconsistencies of the Repub- lican party in its attitude toward free sil- ver, the funding bill and the Southern Pacific, he vigorously denounced Grove L. Johnson as the “lickspittle tool” of the latter and condemned the body which was responsible for his nomination, conclud- ing his remarks bfl calling upon (‘ongress- man James G. Maguire to address the meeting. Congressman Maguire, who was loudly applauded on rising, said that this mag- nificent demonstration, together with its evidences of personal respect and esteem, was in itself a sufficient reward for his at- tempt to carry out the wishes of his con- stituents. Coming again before them as a candidate for Congress, he feit that he should be elected or defeated according to the nature of his past services. The campaign of a candidate should be based upon his previous legislative record. He did not ask for re-election on personal grounds; he referred the whoie question to that record in Congress and would promise, if re-elected, to do, if possible, in the Fifuy-fifth Congress that which he had done in the Fifty-third and Fifiy-fourth Congresses. The issues of the present campaign were of the zreatest importance to the Ameri- can people and must be voted upon intel- ligent!y. The struggle involved the rights ots man against the power of concentrated wealth. It was not a fight of the poor against the rich, for the poor did not really envy the rich, and the spirit of Democracy—the present grand standara- bearer of Democracy, the second Jeffer- son, W. J. Bryan—repudiated that idea or that purpose. This was a strugele against the monopoly power of wealth and special privilege—the power of wealth to cut off the opportuni- ties of labor and to exact tribute without bestowing a corresponding equivalent. “Equal rights to all, special privileges to none,” as fefferson had formerly said, was | the watchword of the Democratic party. This struggle would continue until the abuses of which he spoke had been abol; ished and all citizens placed upon a plane of equality, with respect to natural opportunities. ‘‘The interest of the poor- est as well as the richest,” he said, “‘de- mands that_property rights should be re- spected, and that none shall be in a posi- tion to secure wealth except by producing it or b’ giving therefor a just equivalent. “The so-called new Democracy aimed at | this ob,2ct. This Democracy was indeed revived. The standard of that party was now piaced in the hands of the nearest successor in type and manhood, mind and heart, to the immortal Jefferson that the great Chicago convention could;find in all the party in :his Nauon.” The spesker next dwelt with the accu- | sation that the Democrats are enunciating anarchical principies. observing apropos of the same that this accusation came in a strangely ironical shape from the party including among its number the greatest {living anarchist on earth. Eli Perkins, the greatest liar in the world, was sup- porting McKinley. Then followea caustic references to C. P. Huntington, the gold-standard monopoly, Daniel E. Sickles, Senator Vilas, g g Irish and other Democratic ‘‘recusants,” of which, he observed, the party was very well rid. The Democratic platform declared that | the remonetization of silver was the para- mount issue of the campaign. In the event of such an improbable con- | tingency as McKinley’s election, he | pointed out that the tariff question could not be handled immediately, inasmuch as the Senate, by a_ nearly two-thirds major- ity, stood as an impassable barrier against any such legislation and certain Senators in particular were pledged notto passa tariff law until silver was remonetized. Before, tnerefore, really important issue two more elections | must be decided. | Inquoting from the Chicago platform | he laid stress upon those clauses which | declare for liberty of conscience. “Religious liberty,” he said, *‘means the absolute equality and independ.nce of every man, beyond question and beyond criticism, and that no man shall be de- barred from the political rights of citizen- ship, sovereignty and service by reason of his religious opinions.’ The Thicago platform, he further ex- plained, declared that no discrimination shou!d be exercised by the United Stutes in favor of any of its debtors, and he de- nounced any sttempt on the part of Con- gress to pass the funding bill. It was | found impossible, he remarked, parenthet- | ically, to pass such a plank at the Repub- lican convention. *“There were too many Hannas there. “Do not forget,”” continued Judge Ma- guire, “‘that to the people of California the question of refunding is as greatin importance as the silver question, though not so, of course. to other sections. But | bere it means all the difference between chains and freedom. It will be a matter of little importance to California with what kind of money they will be per- mitted to exchange the products of their labor if they are to be the industrial slaves of a transportation monopoly. “There is pending in Congress now a refunding bill known as the Powers bill, which has the approval of a majority of the Commirttee on Pacific Railroads, and which is very much worse than was the Reilly re!undini_bill of the Fifty-third Congress. The bill 1s to refund the steal- ings of the directors of the Union and Central Pacific railroads. The refunding under the Powers bill propused that the period of payment of the debt shall be ex- tended over eighty-six vears. “The Reilly bill was for fifty years, at 2 per cent per annum; the Reilly bill carried 3 per cent. Mr. Huntington and his associ- ates became bolder in the Fifty-fourth Congress. Instead of fifty years, at 3 per cent, the present bill, by extending pay- ment over eighty-six years, virtually re- funds at 2 per cent. The average period of refunding would be fifty-tive years for the whole of the debg, and the interest, therefore, would be 2 per zent, *‘The lowest interest on the National debt paid by the Government is 314 per cent, and the Government would consequently in this case pay 14 per cent per annum more than they would receive back during the whole of that period, or $94,800,000. “At the end of eighty-six years of infinite trouble nnd”;‘c-nd-l the fG{’"mm'm would t per cent of its present claim, o?abou: $20.300,000 net, ontpof the present claim of $110,000,000. But under the Powers scheme California would pay $241,500,000 1n excessive freights and fares. G. L. Jobnson has sought to vindicate the Powers bill, and argues that by robbin, the United -States of $94,800,000 we wifi save the people of Caiifornia just that much, because he says if that ninety-four millions were added by increasing the in- terest to be paid by the companies, the peopte of California will be obliged to pay it in higher rates and fares. “This_isa confession from their own camp. If the refunding bill passes at all the &%opla of California will be taxed $241,- 500,000 as I saia before. Why should they do tl n order to get twenty millions into the treasury of the United States?'’ A better course than this, the speaker suggested, would be to allow the company to cancel the whole of the aebt. But as a legitimate alternative he declared the Government, which practically owns the two roads, might take them. [Applause.] But when the roads were taken he would disagree with his socialistic friends as to what ought to be done with them. He would favor a course under whict all such roads would be declared public highways; he would have them opened umfer Gov- ernment supervision to the private com- tition of carriers. The other function of overnment would be to guard against monopoly, and here its duty would practi- cally cease. The people had started out upon a crusade against monopoly and the ofd Democracy of Thomas J. Jefferson | the tariff became a. would not let up until that object was attained. Another course open to Congress was to foreclose all the mortgages and sell the roads, by which means, according to com- E:mnt witnesses who had given evidence fore the committee, the Government would obtain every dollar due. In con- cluding his consideration of the subject he reminded his hearers that Mr. Bryan was pledged te veto any refunding scheme. The balance of his address was devoted to the silver question, which he discussed exhaustively, necessarily from the stand- point of his party. Free coinage he held to be necessary because gold was a mono oly, inadequate to fulfill the whole of the functions of a medium of exchange and, moreover, because a double standard \vguld render monopoly absolutely impos- sible. He ascribed to the Morgan syndicate a successful attempt to coerce the Cleveland administration to sell its bonds at 4 per cent, while the market valuation was 12 per cent, guaranteeing in return not to permit any draft upon the treasury gold reserve for a period of eizht months, The Government yieided to that little combination of weaith and agreed to sell $62,000,000 of bonds at 4 per cent and the syndicate immediately soI;d thirty millions at 12 per cent. The speaker closed a speech of over two hours’ duration by urging the electors to select W. J. Brvan as their next President and so insure renewed prosperity. The meeting dispersed with three cheers for Bryan and Maguire. PACIFIC GROVE CAMPERS. Members of the Itinerants’ Club Under- going Examinations for the Metho- dist Ministry.
