14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1896 AMERICAN PROTECTION AND BIMETALLISM. JUDGE SPENCER ON THE OUTLOOK Says Republican Success Is Next to a Cer- tainty. SILVER AND FREE TRADE Can’t Understand How a Work- ingman Can Be a Demo- crat. THE NEXT LEGISLATURE. It Has the Work of Electing a United States Senator to Do and Must Be Republican. Judge E. B. Spencer of Lassen Counnty is | in the City stopping at the Russ House. | Judge Spencer is an old Republican war- horse, a member of the Legislature, and a candidate for re-election, which is the same as saying that he will succeed him- self. In talking of the political outlook last eveninz Judge Spencer said: “The thing in politics that I have never been able to understand is how a laborer, a worker, can be a Democrat. The thing is inconsistency itself. Now I have been reading Bryan's sveeches carefully, and upon my word it seems to me that they should cure the workers of this country of any leaning they might have toward Democracy. There is not a word of argu- ment in them—simply flat statements, un- supported by either reason or fact. “Mr. Bryan proclaims himself as the friend of the workingman, and all in the same breath he declares himself in favor of giving the work to the foreigner and opening our mints to foreign silver—to pay what wages mayv be earned—at home here under his pronounced system of free trade. “Mr. Bryan is the most pronounced free- trader in the country,” continued Judge Spencer. ‘“He carries the iree-trade idea farther than any other man who hasgiven public utterance on the subject. There is no doubt in my mind of the election of McKinley. The sober, second thought of the people is beginning to set im, the country over, and will overwhelm dema- gogism with an absolnte certainty. Ihave not done much in the campaign yet, but I am about to get out to work. “There has been very little agitation up in the mountain counties as yet. I have done some considerable traveling in this State and through Nevada since the open- ing of the campaign and have taken pains to learn the sentiment of the people and from all [ have seen am convinc-d that the Republicans will poll their full vote in this State. What losses they have sus- tained have had their full compensation in gamns from the opposite party. “I was over at Reno, Nev.. a short time ago. It is popularly understood that everybody in Nevada is for free silver coinage. Sitting in the hotel I asked a Democratic friend how many McKinley votes would be cast in Reno. He said, ‘A dozen, perhaps—not more than twenty at the ontside.’ “That evening another friend asked me to attend that evening the formation of a McKinley club. Idid so and discovered a big crowd—150 names were subscribed as charter members. That simply shows what reliance may be placed ubon the average Democratic boast. When the workingman comes to realize that free sil- ver is inseperably linked with free trade in the tenets of the new Democracy he will be very careful of how he votes to perpetuate the eurrent hard times. I cer- tainly expect to see the Republicans carry this State. Republicanzentiment is grow- ing rapidly. It is necessary that the next Legislature be Republican on account of the auty imposed upon that body to elect a United States Senator. ““The State Senate will be Republican beyond peradventure on account of the boldovers, but enonugh members of the Honse are to be added.”’ Speaking of the progress of the cam- paign Judge Spencer said: “Up in the mountains, as I have said, very little has yet been done, but things will soon begin to warm up. I have beard thé speeches of Congressman McCall, General Barnes and Hon. M. M. Estee. They were all gieat speeches, unanswerable in their arguments, Their effect will spread over the entire State.” Judge Spencer expects to return north in a few days and take an active part in the campaign. | William R. Davis as president. L REPUBLICAN LEAGUE. An Enthusiastic Meeting Held Last Night in the Pioneer Building. The Republican National League are keeping the fires or Republicanism brightly burning. Their weekly meeting at their rooms in the Pioneer building on Fourth street last night was full of en- thusiasm and replete with stirring music, speeck and song. Tirey L. Ford presidea and was warmly applauded. The National League Glee Ciub sang a number of ex- cellent campaign songs, and Miss Mabel Gruman added much to the entertaining features of the programme by a recitation, which was promptly encored. Not the least interesting of a specially interesting programme was the personal testimony of two of Major McKinley’s per- sonal friends—A. R. Kanaga. formerly of Canton, Olio, and Mrs. George E. Spen- cer, who recentiy came from the East to California. Hon. J. A. Stephens made the principal address of the evening and clearly demon- s:rated the fallacies of the Chicago plat- form, and wrought his audience up to a high piteh of enthusiasm. He made it clear that of all men in America the men who work for wages should be the last to aid by their votes the degradation of our financial system. Coming, as he does, from the State of Ne- vada, he spoke from personal knowledge NEW TO-DAY. should be checked before it gets a hold upon the system. ‘Taken after exposure to cold or ulates o reinforces and stimi the - tem. of the motives that govern the leaders of the silver movement and the peculiar change of heart of Senators Stewart and Jones. He spoke in high terms of these gentlemen, personally, but said the crisis was too grave to follow them into the field of their wild, financial experiments. He concluded with an earnest and elo- quent appeal to the laborers of San Fran- cisco. Mr. Kanaga told of the early manhood of McKinley and of his struggle for ad- vancement. At his home his popularity was greatest among the lahoring people, whose champion he had always been. In fact, iL was the labor vote that repeatedly elected him to Congress despite an occa- siona! gerrymander of his district by a Democratic Legislature. Mrs. Spencer graphically portrayed his heroic self-sacrifice at the National Repub- lican Convention of 1888, when he reso- iutely declined a proffered nomination for the Presidency which his high sense of honor would not vermit bim to accept when his State had instructed her delega- tion for another. Senator Ford closed the meeting with a few timely remurks, informing the audi- ence that the clubrooms were always open and extending a cordial invitation to those present to visit the clunrooms fre- quently, and especially on the Tuesday evening meetings of the club. The meeting then adjourned with three cheers for McKinley and the Republican party. —t Signing the Roll.

Mechanics and Laboring Men Have Tired of Cieveland'sm and Seek Protection. In the Thirty-first Assembly District there is a comparatively new-spolitical or- ganization called the Lincoln Club. Organized scarcely six weeks ago it al- ready has a membership of a little over 300 voters, nearly 25 per cent of whom are reformed Democrats—mechanics and la- boring men. ‘‘One night we took in seventeen Demo- crats. That was the best single haul made,” said President McCann yesterday. “But we. are getting the boys in right along; first one will flop and then another. Some, of course, have been Democrats too long to give up the party entirely, but they are all right for protection and Mec- Kinley at the head of the ticket. Let them favor if they will their old friends in the precinct that may be running for office. "It is the great principle of protec- tion that we’re after and we're workiug hard to turn the Democrats our way. The Republicans we're not worryingabout, for they’ll come in themsel ves. “The membership of the clubis made up of men who know what an honest day’s labor means and who are not afraid of it. But there are men among them that have not had employment for many weeks and they do notneed fancy speeches to con- vince them of the difference of times be- fore Cleveland and times under the Demo- crat:wg 5nle. 0 “We're going to meet again Saturda; night in the little hall we use on Nlntl{ street, near Mission, and we will have some more Democrats to sign the roll after r citations and music by the band. And, by the way, the boys of the band say they’re going to bring in about thirty new members at the next meeting. Buckley’s Wagon Business. Articles incorporating the 0. F.

This Scandinavian = Republican Club, which held its first meeting July 2, 1896, was organized by L. C. Larsen of the well- known firm of Larsen Bros., contractors, and Viggo Konig of the Manhattan, at 151 Fifth street. Since its formation there has been added to its rolls the names of some of the most prominent Scandina- wvians in the City until now it numbers over 400 members, all of whom have taken a great interest in the coming campaign, local as well as National. They believe that with John D. Spreckels as a leader of the Republican party in this City the Re- publican party can be made such that all men having the interest and welfare of the City at heart can vote for the party nominees. The natives of Norway, Sweden and Denmark who have made the United States their home have shown their fitness for American citizenship by conforming to the laws and customs of ~their adopted country. They have not been heard of in politics before, but this year they are de- termined to make their influence felt on the side of protection and good govern- ment. The sentiments as expressed by the speakers at last night's meeting clearly showed that the members of the Scandi- navian club are thoroughly well informed upon the politics of the day. President Clausen, C. H. Petersen and Al Olsen spoke on campaign issues, and L. C. Larsen, the organizer of the Ncandi- navian Republican Club, gave a brief his- tory of how the Democratic party treated the laboring-man in the South. The club is now launched forth for the campaign. It will hold regular weekly meetings until the day of election. The officers are: President, M. F. Clau- sen: vice-president, Alfred Olsen; secre- tary, Viggo Konig; treasurer, C.J. Peter- sen; sergeant-at-arms, D. Magnussen. THE HANDBALL COURTS. Nealon and Bonnet Play a Great Game Against Champion Riordan and Lawless. A great game of handball was played in the Ban Francisco court Monday after- noon, the contestants being John Riordan, the coast champion, and Joe Lawless against J. C. Nealon and T.F. Bonnet. The game was the best of three and the play was swift and exciting from the start. Nealon distingnished himself by his returns, which were low and hard. He and his partner lost the final by two aces. There were several good games at this court, which were all marked by close and exciting finishes. Among them was a game in which P. T. Donnelly, the ama- teur champion, and J. Riley nlnfied against C. McNutty, T. Walsh and W, Riley witix the rubber ball and won. The event of the day at the Union court was a game in 1 hich the old-time rivals participated. R. Leniban and J. Nelson turned the tables on J. J. Feeney and Terry McManus, the heavy-weight cham- pion, winning the final of the great struggle by four aces. Another game that aroused great inter- est was the contest between Billy Gal- iagher and Harry Xinneck against Dick of Sacramento and Laguna streets. The large parlors were filled with representative in- telligent women. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, the distinguished speaker from New York, gpoke to the audience for over forty minutes. She spoke of the bailot in the handsof women 28 being a great power for good in counteract- ing existing evils. Altogether it was a very successful meeting. INCENDIARY OR CHANCE? A Theory That the Stoneman House, Yosemite, Was Set on Fire. Commissioners Will Investigate, and Then Plan for Some Temporary Buildings. Guardian Galen Clark of the Yosemite Valley thinks that the Stoneman House, recently entirely destroyed by fire, was lost to the State by the act of an incen- diary. The first reports, it will be remembered, attributed the cause of the fire to faulty flues and crevices in the brick chimuneys. The official public reports on file in the office of the secretary of the Yosemite Commissioners tell a very different story. At one point in his account of the de- struction of the State property the guardian says: “The flues of every chimney were thor- oughly lined with sheet steel tubing from the fireplaces below to some three or four feet above the chimney and capI)ed with spark-extingunishing boards. It is my opinion that the fire never originated from accident, but was purposely set by some unknown person.” He also de- clares that there had been no fires in the furnaces since the day before, when the hotel was formally closed for the season. This is all he says about the cause of the fire, but the Board of Yosemite Com- missioners will meet in this City next Monday, when Governor Budd will be Present to engage in further inguiries into this suggestive report and also to consult as to what arrangements shall be made to provide proper accommodations for tour- ists visiting the valley next season. The Commissioners haye let the con- tract for two new bridges in the valley to T. G. McCandlish of Coulterville, the lowest bidder, and he has already started on the work of construction. One bridge 18 to span the Merced River at the Cas- cades in the lower end of the va.ley, and the other will be built near Bridal Veil Fail. The cost of the two bridges will be $1570. LThey will be completed by Oc- tober ——————— Father Yorke’s Next Lecture. “The Son of a Carpenter, or the Catholic Church on Labor,” the third lecture of the serics on ““Current Controversy,”’ will be given Ila‘y Father Yorke at Metropoiitan_Hall next onday evening, September 14, under the auspices of the American Women's Liberal League.

CALIFORNIA IN FRONT What Chris Ryer Observed on a Visit to Democratic Mexico. LABOR'S PAY IS LOWEST THERE Only Twenty Cents a Day for Work 2nd Four Dollars a Day for Room Rent. The work of Secretary Higgins and of his clerk, Jake Steppacher, of the Repub- lican State Central Committee, has in- creased so much within the past week that they are now obiiged to labor fourteen hours per day with the voluminous mass of correspondence pouring in from all parts of the State. These letters show that Republicanism is gaining strength in every quarter every day, farmers and business men realizing that protection is what is needed in the United States to start and keep the wheels of the factories moving. All other so- called issues are merely makeshifts along- side this one. Visitors from the interior tell the same story. C. T. Carlston of Merced says that the necessity for protection is fully recog- nized in that county, one of whose chier inaustries under Republican administra- tions was wool raising and which indus- try was ruined by the operation of the Democratic tariff. The majority of these sheep-owners were Democrats. but they declare now that they will vote for McKin- ley and protection. J. C. Gibson of Templeton, San Luis Obispo County, says that the Republicans of that part of the country are all right in their devotion to the cause of home rule. They believe that the United States should cease to be the dumping ground for the pauper-made goods of Europe. Chris B. Ryer, a representative of a wholesale house in this City, recently ar- rived from the City of Mexico whither he bad gone with Mrs. Ryer for the purpose of engaging in business in that free-coin- age country. hat he found there was very discour- aging to the spirit of enterprise. Of the 425,000 inhabitants of the City of Mexico he lound that about 300,000 are beggars or Bjeom working for twenty cents per day exican money. Owing to cheap silver prices of everything except labor are about twice os high as they are in the United Sta‘es. This fact was strikingly illustrated on the train on which Mr. and Mrs. Ryer traveled from San Francisco to El Paso. Nine dollars was the charge for a berth in & Pullman coach. After the train crossed into Mexico §18 in Mexican money was charged for the same distance. On the buffet-car before crossing the border into Mexico a glass of lemonade cost 15 cents. After entering Mexico the same glass of lemonade on the same car costs 30 cents in Mexican money. A room at a hotel without board costs from $2 to $4 per night. Meals cost twice as much as they do in San francisco. In other words, prices have been raised to equal the difference between the bullion value and the coin value of silver. Mr. Ryer saw a large number of Ameri- cans at the American legation _in Mexico, among them M. F. Tarpey, Democratic National committeeman from this State. They were investing in silver mines, which will be valuable property shouid free coinage be adopted by the United States. In thatevent a large number of men now in moderate circumstances will become multi-millionaires. John A. Steehan of the firm of Sheehan & Harris, proprietors and editors of the Sacramento News, was in the City yester- day with good tidings from that county. The working people there, and they coms pose the great mass of the people, are tor McKinley. They believe, and rightly, too, that protection tends to kee}) wages up and to elevate the standard of living, POLITICS AT STOCKTON, Six Democratic Candidates for the Senate to Stand T. V. Cator Off. The State Committee to Run Four In- stead of Sixty Interior “Openinzs” Saturday Night. Chairman Alford and several of the active Democrats who run State politics from the inside, went to Stockton yester- day, and to-day and to-morrow there’ll be large politics done up there while the bands play on Admission daay and the headquarters at the California Hotel gather dust. Frank Gould, Gavin McNab, Chairman Alford, Governor Budd, Steve White and a long list of those fellows who are wheels, cranks, safety valves and piston roas in the State machine will unbutton their vests, order another with straws and en- deavor to accomplish fusion of ideas. Itis understood that one of the fields that will be worked while the populace at large is given over to innocent joys is that of Legislative fusion with the Populists, Frank Gould is chairman of this Legisla- tive and Congressional Committee, and the other members are Gavin McNab, Governor Budd, Stephen M. White, W. ‘W. Foote and James G. Maguire. Every last one is a candidate for the United States Senate, and %o they are all supposed to be ready to hustle for the said Legislative fasion like a black-and-tan after a woodchuck. This committee is quietly engaged in watching T. V. Cator, tne great Legislative fusionist of the day, and in engineering, stimulating or re- pressing Popocratic district attractions. There’ll be lots of the county politicians at_ Stockton. Fusion on Assemblymen and Senators has already been accom- plished in several districts, and other deals are in progress. Some of the State lead- ers also expect to take advantage of the warm spots in some Democratic hearts up there and secure a few bits for the State campaign fund that is yet an empty dream.

One of tne greau initial pians of the campaign has just slumped into dismal failure. Ten days ago the. speakers’ committee, Chairman Alford and a few other leaders met and fotmed and announced the bril- liant plan of baving a great interior “‘opening” of the campaign. There were to be mass-meetings on tne evening of the 12th inst. at every county seat in the State and several other important centers. On that evening there was to be one blaze of campaign enthusiasm from Sierra to San Diego. At some sixty mass-meet- ings an army of orators and legions of Democratulists were to raise a glorious chorus. . The committee has just four mass-meet- ings arranged for the 12th inst. It hopes to send out two more speakers on that night. Eugene N. Deuprey of San Francisco will speak at Petaluma, W. P. Straaley of San Fprancisco at Salinas, Frank D. Nichol of Stockton and C. C.
