10 BUCKLEY HONORS FOUR MORE MEN Convention Slowly Builds Up Its Local Ticket. The LAMBS FLOCK IN JOY. Godfrey Fisher, Henry Doescher, Joseph Fassler and Dr. Bodkin Named. THE “PUSH” SWARMS TO CHRIS The Buckley Convention Has Humor, Numbers, Enthusiasm, Women and a Programme. The Buckleyites held another bigand enthusiastic session of their municipal convention at B'nai B’rith Hall last even- ing and did some more work on their ticket. Godfrey Fisher was nominated for Tax Collector; Joseph Fassler, dairyman, was named for Public Administrator: Henry Doescher, proprietor of the Seal Rock House, for Treasurer, and Dr. Thomas P. Bodkin for Coroner. The hall was crowded upstairs and down and out through the entrance to the bar. “This is like old times, hey?"’ said the lambs, joyfully, and they asked, ‘‘Are the peop.’s with Buck or not, do you think, now?” It was a Democratic municipal conven- tion of the “‘real o!d-fashioned nnder-dog Democracy,”” as Reel Terry ealls it, by | the life of every aisle and file of chairs, | by the smoke that befogged the motley erowd above the galiery rail and by the reckless restlessness of half the mass, | Colonei A. A. Andrews, immaculate ana prim, satin a front seat and smoked a corncob pipe. T. Carl Spelling was there in the plug hat that he wears since he wrote the political love story, *“Won on a Silver Basis.” Robert Ferral, who hopes to get on the bench this trip, shoved his way chattering through the bovs. Maurice Schmitt, who thinks he is at Buckley’s resurrection, got the pink rubbed out of his button-hole. Henry Ach, the attorney, displayed nis patent- leathers and John McCarthy, James H. O’Brien, Josepu Rothschild, Dr. Stanton, Thomas J. Giynn, D. M. Gavigan, William J. Bryan, Sumuel Newman and more of those Buckley leaders were hail-fellows as they steered the programme. Dr. C. C. O'Donnell floated about ac- iy looking for a nomination among the delegates. “‘They don’t seem to want the Demo- cratic party to win,” said the candidate for Coroner. “If they want to win they want to put men of strength on their ticket. But I've got 7000 names on my petition, though 1 don’t need only 1800, and I'll have 20,000 when 1 get to making speeches,” They put big flags and a picture of Bryan up on the stage last night and the turill of the political chase seemed to fill the boys all around. Three ladies sat in the gallery over the clock. It was the first time that the ladies ever graced a Buckley convention with their refining presence. Their ap- pearance was supposed to be due to the indorsement of woman suffrage the other night. They were matronly looking people and there were two American citizens down below in whose humble political fortunes they are intensely interested. Chairman Nealon didn’t propose to let another brawl aisgrace Mr. Buckley’s con- vention and by constant hammering and shouting and calling on the sergeants-at- arms he managed to keep the restiess crowd in fair subjection. At 9 o’clock Chairman Malone started the proceedings, which opened with dis- pensing, as usual, with the rollcall and minutes. James H. O'Brien, chairman of the com- mittee on permanent organization and order of business, submitted a report on Legislative nominations which was intended to make the proceedings on Legis- lative nominations conform to the iaw which requires nominations to be made by conventions, the nominations for Sen- ate and Assembly having been made at primaries. The recommendation was as iollows: That delegates from the respective Senato- terial and Assembly districts meetand choose a chairman and secretary aud thereupon pro- d to select candidates and nominees for selection when made to the municipal conven- tion for confirmation and ratification under subdivision 5 of the order of busi- ness heretofore adopted, and that each Senatorial AD Assembly dis- trict convention when periorming the duties herein required by resolution regularly adopted, suthorize their respective chairmen to appoint an auditing committee of five per- sons, citizens and clectors of this State, whose auty it shall be, pursuant to the provisions of the ‘purity of election law of this State, to re- ceive, expend, audit and disburse all money and generally act under the provisions of said aw. Thomas F. Egan, who won the nomin: tion in the Seventeenth Senatorial Dis- trict by six votes in a race at ballot-box stuffing between the Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth districts, came to the plat- form and opposed the report. He was afraid that the district conventions pro- vided for mignt ignore the results of the primary election and name new candi- dates. He moved to amend the report S0 tuat nominations aiready declared would be ratitied. Luwrence Buckley, who was deleatedl for the nomination by six votes, and who has a contest pending, got up on the stage and expressed his sorrow that the primary in his district wasnot conducted fairly. ‘“‘Anybody who knows anytbing about practical politics knows that it couldn’t be fair. Th-re were 978 bailots cast in one hour and a quarter, and how could that be done?” sa1d Mr. Buckley. There was a loud “hal hal” at this funny story, and amid much shouting the chairman declared the amendment and then the report adopted. The following committee to recommend nominees for Schoo! Directors to the cen- vention was announced by districts: Twenty-eighth District—P. J. Keegan. Twenty-ninth—Hugh Doherty. Thirtieth—James Creegan. Thirty-first—P. J. Tannian. Thirty-second—James Larkin. Thirty-third—James Flynn, Thirty-fourth—J. J. Flynn, Thirty-fifth—William Newson. Tirty J. Crowley. Thirty-seventh—Harry M. Kelly. Thirty-eighth—J. A. Donnelly. Thirty-ninth—J. G. Oliver. Riorda. Fortieth—Jam, F 1 Forty-third—Wil! F. McCarthy. lism Henderson. Forty-fourth—J. C. Burke. Forty-fifth—Dr. J. S. Stone.

Don’t pay any attention to rumors that a few people calling them- selves Democrats [applause] are going to put up a ticket. e are Democrats, and we are silver Democrats.”” [More ap- plause. # Mr. Heggerty named E. T. Mills, who he said was at the head of the Young Men’s Democratic Club for years, and a man who had the confidence of the busi- ness community. E. M. Morgan_presented a name “never before presented to a political conven- tion”—Godfrey Fisher. John A. Wall nominated Behrend Joost—*‘a stayer, 8 winner and a Demo- crat.” Nominations closed, and before rollcall on the nominations began Chairman Nealon announced the following commit- tee to recommend nominations for the judiciary: | E.C. Harrison, James A. Devoto, A. M. Arm- strong, E. P. Cole, Henry Ach, Charles J. Heg- gerty, C. L. Ackerman, Waldemar J. Tuska, Wil- liam F. Humphrey, Joseph B. Kennedy, Frank McNally, !oEn H. Miller, E. M. Morgan, Thomas McGowan, Horace G. Platt, Samuel H. Regensburger, Reel B. Terry, E. B. Young, L. Danielwitz, Willlam H. Wiggins Jr. The rollcall on the nomination for Tax Collector was a long process, the mon- otony of which was constantly reiieved by Nealon’s persistent gavel whacks and shouts for order, occasional cries of “put him out’’ and little flashes of humor from the freemen who voted. One delegate voted for ““Behrend Yoost”; they iaughed when John L. Sullivan voted, and when another delegate shouted resolutely, *I vote for the man who gives the widows and orphans a chance,’’ there were all kinds of racket. The announcement of the vote was as follows: Votes cast, 372; necessary to a c;:golce, 226; Mills, 85; Joost, 109; Fisher, 179. The nice appearance of a contest having been made, the programme on Fisher was anickly carried out. Heggerty withdrew Mills, "C. Pope announced Joost's withdrawal, and Fisher was nominated by acclamation. When Dr. James L Stanton mounted the platform to nsme the candidate for Treasurer ke got the greatest ovation of the convention. He nominated Henry Doescher, who he said was well known in business circles and popnlar with a num- ber of societies. Doescher was at once declared the nominee and Chairman Nealon called Dr. W. D. McCarthy to the chair while he nominated Dr. Thomas P. Bodkin for Coroner. None of us knew the hour when the services of & coroner may be needea,” ob- served Mr. Nealon as he described his candidate as a young native son, cultured and above reproach. By the applause the boys knew Dr. Bodkin. “1 move that Dr. Bodkin be elected unanimously,” shouted a delegate, and the motion was carried. For Public Administrator Dr. E. 8. Mc- Carthy named Joseph Fassler, “a man whom the newspapers dare not touch,” and Mr. Fassler is the nominee. Mr. Kelly of the Twenty-eighth District secured recognition, and said: *“Mr. Chair- man, T've been around this town a great deal.” The convention instantly decided 10 hear what Mr. Kelly had seen around this town. and amid much hilarity they roared ‘Platform! Platform!” and would not be refused. Mr. Kelly was forced to the platform, where the chairman grace- fully shelved Mr. Kelly on a chair *‘for just a minute.” The cbair asked for names as nomirtees for School Director to be referred to the committee, and a flood of them came with disorder. There were submitted the names of Joseph P. Kennedy, Dr. Bush, Thomas R. Carew, Dr. C. A. Clinton, W. C. Reed, J. | J. Kilday, C. J. Heggerty, Dr. H. Cahill, T. W. Flannagan, E. B. Farnsworth, H. B. Morey, Thomas H. Mann, John J, Rafferty and John J. McCarthy. It wasdecided that furiher names shoutd be hanaed in writing to the secretary, and the flood continued after the adjournment until to-night, which followed. L | KELLY’S CERTIFICATE FILED He Is In the Fifth District Congres- sional Fight to Stay to the End. Joseph P. Kelly is in the Congressional fight in the Fiith District to stay until the end. Yesterday he received from the Secre- tary of State the following communica- tion: BACRAMENTO, September 8, 1896. 2 Joseph P.

Accompanying Mr. Kelly’s certificate of nomination were the names of the follow- ing gentlemen whom Kelly has appointed his Congression al committee: Levy, Jobn O’Shes, Marion Biggs Jr., San Francisco; Jo'n B. Kelly, San Mateo; Samuel Rucker, San Jose. Kelly’s friends are confident of his suc- cess, and he will be supported by a great many Democrats who voted for Denman last year, but who are not ready to vote for the compromise and heretofore un- known Populist, who was taken up by the fusion committee at the last moment as & last resort. The Democrats of the district who are not ready to vote for Loud, but who cannot swallow the hybrid fusion scheme fixed up by a small number of ambitious politicians will stand by their party and vote for Kelly. e ——— The Donahue Cup.

Sanborn, Vail & Co, * Walter H. | SUFFRAGISTS OPEN THEIR CAMPAIG Magnificent Demonstration at Metropolitan Temple. SPEECHES BY ORATORS. Various Political Parties Send | Deiegates to the Mass- Meeting. MRS. CHAPMAN CATT SPEAKS. Addresses by Miss J-ne Roulston, J M. Leggett, C. W. Reed and Other Delegates. Amid a mighty outburst of popular en- thusiasm, the like of which has seldom if ever been seen al any political meeting held in this City, the woman suffragists opened their campaign last night with a magnificent demonstration in Metropoli- tan Temple. The interior of the large anditorium was elaborately decorated. Long streamers of red, white and blue hung from the central lanterns to the walls, transforming the usually bare interior into an irimense pavilion of harmonious color-contrasts. The galleries were festooned with hang- ings oi bunting and the stage embowered in feathery palms, while the gilded pipes of the great organ were almost concealed by a network of floral garlands, pennants, gonfalons and gracefully draped flags. Professor Eckmann gave a classic organ recital as the people were gathering, com- mencing with Handel’s *Largo” and ending with Herold’s brilliant over- ture to the opera of “Zampa.”” The The temple was soon filled to overflowing. o worl following corps of ushers did goo in seating the earlier arrivals: Misses Burnett, Smith, Miller, Schling- heyde, Belle and Mary Gorham, Mar- guerite and Winifred Warner, Jackson, Holbrook, Hill, Carter, Whelan, Cole, Poultney, Gove and Kidd; Mrs. Palmer, and Messrs. Robbins and Lyons. Mrs. Emma B. Sweet was mistress of cere- monies, and saw to it that no hitch marred the affair. On the stage were seated the fotiowing- named vice-presidents: Miss Mary . Hay, William Bunker, Charles Riddell, Miss Agnes M. Manuning, Mr. and Mrs. 8. L. Lent, Alexanaer Badlam, C. W. Reed, M. M. Estee, Charles W. Manwaring, E. M.

Spencer, Mrs. J. Murray Bailey, Theodore Reichart, Major C. W. Kyle, L J. Truman, Judge Spencer, Mr. and Mrs, Paris Kilburn. Also the following named members of the State Suffrege Association and joint campaign committee: Mrs, Sarah B. Cooper, Miss Harriett Cooper, Mrs. Ada E. Van Pelt, Mrs. 1da A. Harper, Mrs. Mary S. Sperry, Mrs. Mary A. Swift, Mrs. Hester Harland, Mrs. George Oulton, Mrs. Isabell A. Baldwin, Mme. Sorbier, Mrs. Knox Goodrich and Mrs. Kate Tupper Galpin, and the follow- ing namea participants in the programme: Mrs. A. A, Sargent, Miss Susan B. Anthony, Rev. Anna H.Shaw, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Ca Mrs. Nellie Holbrook Blinn, Fred g , Mi Jane Roulston, Joseph Leggett, Douglass Fowler and Charles Wesley Reed. Mrs. Sargent obened the meeting with a cordial and well-worded address of wel-. come, congratulating the audience upon the orators whom they were to hear. ““We have,” she said, ‘“some of the most eloquent speakers of California and a galaxy of Eastern stars as well. But best of all we have wiih us to-night the National President of the United States Suffrage Association, who will preside over to-night’s meeting. Gentlemen and ladies, T have noneed to introduce to you Miss Susan B. Anthony.” Cheer upon cheer greeted the veteran auifrrgin leader as she rose to take the gavel. The Knickerbocker male quariet—com- posed of D. M. Lawrence, first tenor; C. M. Elliott, second tenor; D. B. Crane, first baes, and A. Larsen, second bass—then sang ‘‘Giving the Ballot to the Mothers,” the suffrage song being set to the tune of ‘Marching Through Georgia,” and “The Daughters of Comumbia,”” sung to the well-known notes of “Hold the Fort,” the immense audience joining lustily in the chorus. Mrs. Neliie Holbrook Blinn made a charming address of welcome to the Eastern workers for the cause of woman suffrage. In glowing words she depicted the labors and sacrifices of Mies Anthony, and paid a graceful and well-merited tribute to the valuable services of Mrs. Sweet, Miss Hay, Miss Shaw and the other ladies who have aided the movement so materially by their presence and co- operation. Miss Jane Roulston, the Socialist dele- gate, spoke as follows: When the new econemic thought of the cen- tury first began to conve: toward a central point it found expression through a little band of strong thinkers, now known as the Social Democrats of the world. It did not for one moment occur 1o these great men that in their plan for the advancement ot the human race theifjmothers, their wives and their dsughters cvuld be left outside. Let us look for a moment at the long and glorious Jife of the leader of this movement— & life of stern devotion. Devotion to what? To pleading, entieating, pruying, protesting and demanding a few petty privileges for women which no law of common-sense or common decency couid ever have denied her; using ail the force and logic of a clear, strong intellect in refuting arguments so simple and nidiculous that the children of the future will laugh them to scorn; and even now I hear they are still flinging their sickly sentimen- tality and brutally selfish arguments in her patient face. For me—Iam not patient! and when I con- sider these things a great wrath rises in me which amounts aimost to the frenzy of despair! But I fancy, dear friends, that what you Teally want of me to-night is some expression of the stand of the S. L. P.of California re- garding what s known as the sixth amend- ment. Our position here is unusual and needs some explanation. Now even the most frivo- lous mind cannot but feel that we are on the verge of a great economic crisis. ‘We take no stand upon the so-called great money issue that is agitating the Nation to- day, but there are men in our ranks, working- men, rough clad and unbeautiful, who can see through and beyond both sides of the ques- tion with a clearness of vision which might well make political confusionists tremble and the throne of plutocracy shake from its very foundation. But of this sixth amendment we ke a notable exception. In the great uprising of tie women of the world we see, not a mere side issue of the times, but a part, and no all part, of the mighty struggle of an ressed humanity, Prometheus striving to arise. In this loud woman’s call, resounding through the length and breadth of the land, we recognize one note in the great world cry. and wher it calls our name we answer, “Here!” Mr. Leggett, representing the single-tax advocates, said he thought all of his com- rades would vote for the sixth amend- ment. **We will vote thus,” he proceeded, *‘be- cause we are logical. Holding as we do that all have a right to seex their common and private good, we cannot withhold from woman the chief means to that end. *‘We men are not_in a position to con- cede the right of suffrage to woman; the right is hers as much as it is ours. But we can vote to do away with the unjust laws which hinder her'in the enjoyment of that God-given right.” Mr. Leggett went on to mention a few of the advantages which in his conception would accrue to the commonwealth were women admitted to the right of suffrage. His remarks told most powerfuliy, and were frequently interrupted by bursts of applause. Mr. Fowler, the Populist delegate, said he felt proud to have a chance to say a word for woman suffrage. He gave a brief historical sketch of the adoption of a woman suffrage plank in the Populist latform at the great convention in azard’s Pavilion in Los Angeles in Oc- tober, 1891. “That plank has been confirmed from year to year,” proceeded Mr. Fowler. *‘Ladies of the Suffrage Bureau, you are eloquent, logical speakers, and we love to hear you; but so far as the Populists are concerned your convincing argnments and glowing words are unnecessary. Woman suffrage is a doctrine of the Populist party, and on the3d of next November every Populist vote will count on the side of justice to woman.” Charles Wesley Reed, the Democratic representative, was next introduced by Miss Anthony in a sparkling little speech as “‘our Democratic chamvion.” He said he had been a woman suffragist long be- fore there was any agitation in this State in relation to the movement. The Demo- cratic party of the State was, he said, in process of conversion. “The Buckiey ring at B’'nai B’rith Hall the other night,” he went on, ‘“‘put a woman suffrage plank in its platform. 1 wonder what influence was brought to bear upon Mr. Buckley. I heard it said ;hnt Miss Anthony had a dinner with im.” ‘I had an interview with him,” admit- ted Miss Anthony amid a general laugh, ‘‘and he told me 'he had been a woman suffragist ever since he could remember.” Mrs. Chapman-Catt was next intro- duced, and her welcome was loud and long. “Reason and experience,” she began, ‘“‘are the two tesis by which I ask you, men of Ualifornia, to judge the woman suffrage movement. The practical results of woman suffrage are to be seen in sev- eral States and nations, but notably in Wyoming, where it has had_over twenty years in which to show what it can do. ““The ideal State is that in which there is the least percentage of illiteracy, pov- erty, criminality, insanity and idiocy. Let us see whether Wyoming comes any- where near this 1deal.’” Mrs. Chapm an-Catt then drew a glowing word-picture of the State of Wyoming. “Schools flourish everywhere, the people are prosperous, the jails are nearly empty, the insane asylums thinly popu- lated with a forlorn contingent of men only, while in the whole State there is only one idiot, and he was a grown man when he arrived there.” Her vero most brilliant triumph of oratory, and a moving plea for a higher and purer civilization. A collection was taken up by a8 number of the lady ushers, during which Professor kman gave a magnificent rendering of the march from Tannhauser on the or- gADN. Miss Hay, amid much cheering, an- nounced that Miss Anthony would speak this evening at Odd Feliows’ Hall, at the entertainment to be given by the Native Sons of Vermont, Miss Anna Shaw spoke at length uvon the woman-suffrage movement. With keen satire and sparkling wit, she called attention to the arguments usually alieged against the giving of the ballot to women, and forthwith proceeded to demolish those arguments in a manner as unique as it was sweeping. As each well-worn sophism fell before the batteries of the gifted lady’s clear-cut, flawless logic cheers rent the air and hand- kerchiefs and hats were waved with over- mastering enthusiasm. A few words from Miss Anthony made every man present feel like voting for amendment 6, and the great’ assembly dissolved with three cheers for political equality., 2 In the Thirty-Sixth. A large mass-meeting was held by Club No. 2, Thirty - sixth Assembly District, last evening in honor of Congressman Loud. 8. J. Duckworth was the leading speaker, discussing the money gquestion. Judge E. D. Sawyer talked on the tariff; Robert Ash and A. P. Van Duzer and Audrew Branch also spoke, and Congress- man Loud closed the meeting with a short He was enthusiastically received.
