4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1896. MODESTO VOTERS LISTEN T0 LOGIC Elliott and Hocking Talk . on the Issues of the Campaign. ERRORS OF DEMOCRACY, The Party’s Anti-Silver Record Since Its Organization Exposed. ALWAYS A FOE T0 THE METAL. Free Coinage Now Advocated to Re. cover Its Prestige With the Ballot-Holders. MODESTO, Car., Aug. 11.—The public meeting - to-night under the auspices of the Stanislaus McKinley Ciub was largely attended. After preliminary music and singing by the glee clubs, the meeting was addressed by C. T. Elliott, from thestand- point of a farmer, followed by Hon. 7. C. Hocking. Mr. Elliott reviewed and com- pared the records of the Democratic and Republican parties, proving Republican administration the best friend of the peo- ple. In strong terms he denounced the Democrats for bringing forth the issue of free coinage of silver, pronouncing it only .a ruse of politics. He said the people did not want free coinage, and if they did the Democratic party would not give it to them. Their ery of reduction of the tariff ‘was worn outand non-productive, soa new movement had to be made to have any force at all. “If Democrats wanted free coinage why did they in 1892 prohibit the use of the word ‘free’ before the word ‘coinage’ in the Chicago plattorm? Why did they not in 1894, when in complete control, take steps toward siiver free coinage? Their actions were inconsistent; they never had been the friends of silver,” the speaker declared. **The records show that in 1806 President Jcfferson stopped the coinage of silver and it was not resumed for thirty years. In1853 thesame party again en- acted against silver, making it not a legal tender for more than $5. 1n 1857 another Democratic act deprived the peovple of the use of silver to the extent of 100,000,000 sil- verdollars more. Therefore tue cry 1or free coinage now is only a ruse to catcu the un- thinking classes. Following this Mr. Elliott discussed the question of reciprocity and the tariff, claiming the tar.ff tinkering by the Demo- crats brought about a loss to the farmers of $1,222,374,000 in the last four years, and a loss to the laboring classes of §1,030,- 270,000 in the last four years. Applause greeted every point that Mr. Elliott made. Mr. Hocking took up the Democratic argument that free silver would increase the prices of commodities from 5C to 100 per cent. He showed that unless the wage of labor was raised in pro- portion labor would be the loser, and he demonstratedclearly that labor could not expect such a proportionate increase, e applied this argument in particular to the gold-miners, whose wage had been a standard - for ihirty years, and who could not, by any reason or means, expect a nickel advance, showing that the effect of an increase of 50 per cent or of any per cent in the price of commodities would simply cut the purchasing price of their wage a like per cent. The speaker attributed the present de- pression to the threat of free trade and the subsequent unwise tinkering with the tariff, showing th4t on an average an an- nual balance of trade of $100,000,000 in favor of the United States had been lost and the balance turned against this couniry. T T LOS ANGELES NOMINATIONS. Republicans Complete the Legislative and Supervisorial Ticket. LOS ANGELES, CaAL., Sept. 11.— The Republican County Convention concluded its labors to-day by making the following Legislative and Supervisorial nomina- fions: : Thirty-seventh Senatorial Buila of Los Angeles. Seventieth Assembly District—W. 8. Molick of Lancaster. S venty-first Assembly District—J. Vosburg of ra Madre. Seventy-second Assembly District of Los An- geles. Seventy-third Assembly District—C. C. Mec- Cullough of Los Angeles. H. Seventy-fourth Assembly District—L, Valentine of Los Angeles. Seventy-fith Assembly District—John Cross of Los Angeles. Second Supervisorial District—R. E. Wits. ching; Fourth District, A, E. Davis; Fifth Dis- trict, E. E. Johnson. The city portion of the conyention nom- inated for City Justices M. T. Owens and D. C. Morrison, incambents. A rousing ratification meeting was held this evening at the headquarters of the Young Men’s Republican League. Sev- eral of the newly made candidates were vresent and addressed the hosts of en- thusiastic Republicans. As_usual, all references to the Presi- dential nominee were greeted with great applause. The remarks of C. C. Me- Cullough, nominee for Assemblyman of the Seventy-third District, attracted more than passing notice. The gentleman said in quiet but emphatic tones that the man who received his vote for the United States Senate should, first of all, declare himself in favor of a restricted foreign im- migratio: secondly, he must be in favor of a protective tariff, and finally, he must occupy no doubtful position in relation to sound money. These sentiments were cheered to the echo. paimr tog e B SAN JOSE BREYANITES. District — R. N, Senator White Pleads for the Cause of Free Coinage. SAN JOSE, Cax., Sept. 11.—The meet- ing that was addressed here this evening by Senator Stephen M. White was largely attended. It was called to order by T. A, Carroll, who introduced as the presiding officer Major W. R. Coulter. Senator White’s address occupied nearly two hours and was well received. The speaker in opening said there was only one issue 1n this campaign, and that was the financial one. The Republican parly, he said, was attempting to make the tariff the issue, but notwithstanding this fact the neo‘plo at their homes, 1n their places of business and wherever they congregate were talking about nothing but the money question. It was predicted th‘t the Republican leaders could “talk till they were all black in the face” and they counid not make the people believe that the tariff was an issue in the campaign. The speaker ssserted that under the s&enflon of the Wilson bill over $85,000,- more had come into the United States treasury in revenue in a year than undaer the McKinley bill. He urged that this Nation was strong enough in its popula- tion and resources to sustain a financial volicy of its own ana that there was no veed of waiting 1or apy other country before taking the stand in favor of the free coinage of silver. He closed with a eulogy of Bryan that was much applauded. sl i Santa Clara Cownty Primaries, BAN JOSE, CAL., Sept. 1L.—The Repub- lican County Central Committee has is- sued a call for open primaries throughout the county on Thursday, September 17, from 1 to 3 P. M., to elect delegates to the county convention. The convention will be beld the following Saturday at Turn Verein Hall in this city.

STOCKTON, CaL., Sept. 11.—The mem- bers of the American Protective Associa- tion will hold a convention in New Pio- neer Hall to-morrow night to nominate a county ticket. SAN JUSE LEGAL rIGHT. Stow Progress Made in the Parker Will Contest Case. SAN JOSE, CaL., Sept.11.—The Parker will contest is dragging along slowly. Mrs, Emma Dougherty of San Francisco was on the stand to-day. Most of the court’s time was taken up with argument by Mr, Deimas and Mr. Coogan as to allowing Drs, Dougherty to testify regard- ing George H. Parker’s mental condition in 1892, Mr. Delmas maintained that sub- stantial proof must be given to show Parker’s unsoundness of mind before the testimony would be admissible and the court £o neld. Judge Reynolds said that whatever Parker had told the witness about his relations with his son could be admitted. Lol San Jose-Saratoga Line. SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. 11.—The Board of Supervisors has granted to L. M. Hale an extension of six months in which to begin work on the electric railway between this city and Saratoga. Under the fran- chise work was to commence before Sep- tember 13, but owing to the unsettled con- dition of the money market, growing out of the election, it has beeri impossible to secure the Eastern capital necessary for its construction. DUNHAM_OR HIS DOUBLE Capture of a McGlincy Murder Suspect by an Ouray (Colo) Man. The Prisoner a Prospactor Who Resembles the Fugitive’s Photograph. SAN JOSE, Car, Bept. 11,—Under Sheriff Benson received a dispatch from W. C. Stetler of Quray, Colo., to-night, stating that & mining prospector giving his name as W.D. Henry had been ar- rested on suspicion of being the murderer of Colonel McGlincy and family at Campbell. Stetler had been trailing the suspect for over a month, and stated he ‘was confident that he had captured the right man. Upon receiving the dispatch, Under Sheriff Benson telegraphed to Stetler for a complete description of the man ar- rested. In answer to this, Stetler re- sponded that he would send a photograph of the man to-morrow. He stated that the Sheriff and Marshal at Ouray had re- fused to assist him. The latter part of this dispatch made the authorities here very dubious in re- gard to the correciness of the statement of Stetler that he had captured the real Dun- bam. The Sheriff has received no word from any of the authorities in Ouray in regard to the man, and this adds to their lack of credence in the report that Dun- ham has been apprehended. The Shenif’s office has been in com- munication with Stetler since August 1, when a letter was received from him ask- ing for a description and photograph of the murderer. This wus sent, and he re- plied that he wassatisfied he had Dunham located, and that he was prospecting in the mountains about five miles from Ouray. E He said thatthe Sheriff and Marshal agreed with him that the suspect was none other than Dunham, but advised that ar- rest be deferred until the suspect came into the cityr Under Sheriff Benson in answer stated that if the man was Dunham he should be arrested without delay, but advised Stetler to leave the matter to the discretion of the authorities. CHILDREN BJOM TH. FAIR. Admitted Free They inthuse and Go ¥orth to Encourage Other Patrons. Over 5000 persons attended the Home Products Fair at the Pavilion during yes- terday afternoon and evening, and fully half that number were school children ad- mitted free’ in accordance with the pro- moters’ wish to teach the lesson of the pos- sibilities of the Btate and the practicabil- ity of relying upon home industries for supplies.

STILL LOWER TAX RATE They Will Play a Seventy-Three Ceat Local Rate Bzfore Election. MEN FOR RAINEY CONVENTION The Junta Campaign Committee Selects About Two Hundred Delegates aod Substitutes. Last night’s session of the Buckley con- vention at B’nai B'rith Hall was a late and a brief one, with the usual crowd and with the usual glide of the programme. The convention nominated by acclama- tion T. Carl Spelling for Attorney and Counselor, D. A. McDonald for Superin- tendent of Streets and Armand de Cour- tieux for Sheriff. The platform as adopted atthe second session pledged the ticket 10 a 80-cent tax limit, but since then the 20 per cent raise of the S8an Francisco assessment roll by the State Board of Equalization bas oc- curred and it was decided to make another play by aropping the rate to 73 cents to meet the raise, so that po more money would be raised than by the 90-cent rate and the original assessment. The convention opened with apparent disagreement in the committee on judi- ciary. Chairman Harrison of the com- mittee read a majority report, stating that the committee bad met during the day, and sfter deliberation had adjourned until the16th inst. The convention was asked to defer action on judiciai nominations until a session to be held after that date. This idea did not strike the convention at all favorably, Its disposition was to go right ahead and get through, and that was the programme. W. ¥. Humphrey of the committee spoke vigorousiy against the report and offered an amendment requiring the com- mittee to report nominations to the con- vention to-night. Failing to do so the convention should proceed with the nominations. Mr. Humphray mentioned the rival or- ganization aand stated that the legal com- mittee of the General Committee, having charge of the legal contest a< to which faction shall use the party heading on the batlot, wanted to proceed with the case next week and it was important to do so. Then he said that if action were post- poned it would be said that they were waiting for the Junta to act. Humpbrey was much applanded, and Joseph Rothschild explained that the ticket shouid be ready to present to the Registrar on thel3th inst., to secure & basis for legal action. Ben Napthaly haa bard work standing gibes while he talked for haste and the amendment was overwhe!mingly adopted. Four candidates for Superior Judge, four candidates for Police Judge and five can- didates for Justice of the Peace will be named by the committee to-day. Judges Hunt and Hebbara are reported to pe seeking neminations along with Robhert Ferral and some others. The nominees for the Legislature were formaily certified to the convention by D. M. Gavigan, and then A. M. Arm- strong nominated T. Jarl Spelling for Attorney and Uounselor. He wasnamed by acclamation. E. M. Morgan nominated D. A. Mec- Donald for Superintendent of Streets. Mr. McDonald was “not ashamed to be seen with you eveh in working upon the streets.” Ben Napthaly again stemmed the tide of “joshers,” and made quite a gnod speech, in which he nominated Thomas Ford for the offics, and when Ford was namea the cheering was loud and pro- longed. It was announced that Ford was not a candidate, and his name was withdrawn, and McDonald received the unanimous vote. Joseph Rothschild nominated for Sheriff Armand de Courtieux, the wholesale butcher, who, he said, was not well known among the politicians. The nomination was quickly declared unanimons. James H. O'Brien offered the following resolution amending the platform: WHEREAS, Since the adoption of our plat- form fixing a ninety (90) cent rate on the $100 of the total asse-sed property as a fixed rate of taxation for City and County purposes, and pledging our nominees not to cxceed tha’ rate, the State Board of Equalization by shameless and discriminating sction, has un- child in San Francisco free of charge, and | jusily ruised the assessed value of the prop- day by day schools in turn will be favored with tickets. Yesterday afternoon the Boys’ High School turned out in full force and made the place resound with the high school yell. In the evening Director Hinrichs gave .way for a time (o Director A. L. Mana, principal of the Denmau Grammar School, who led the singing of all the Denman School pupils and the two upper classes of Pacific Heights, Lincoln and Clement Grammar schools. They sang “The Star-spangled Banner,” ~‘*John Brewn’s Body’’ and **Amsrica.” During the afternoon the Board of Di- rectors held a meeting and decided to pro- ceed with the vouug for the best-prepared and handsomest exhibits, ander the super- vision of the exhibitors. Director Doolan created quite a commotion by moving to keep the fair open on Sundays, as many E;onle bad expressed a desire to have the and perform symphony concerts on Sun- day everings. After a long discussion the motion was defeated by a vote of 7 10 3. . This efternoon there will be prize danc- ing by children. The boys will dance on the main floor west of the music-stand and the girls on the main floor east of the music-stand, for prizes. y Monday night the Olympic Club will bave all its star members perform at the fair. There. will be boxing, tumbling, wrestling and other gymastics. Last night the exbibitors met and_selected a commi tee, consisting of C.I. Laumeister (chair- man), L. Fishbeck, 8. J. Hendy, W. A. Hewitt and E. W, Massey, to take charge of the matter. F P. J. Healy, a director of the Méchanics’ Institute, and J. M. Reynolds, 8 member of the Municipal Reform League, desire an opportunity publicly to show the at- tendants at the fair what faulis there are in the proposed new charter. Accordingly they have issued a challenge to debate the subject on Charter night, September 15, with James D. Phelan and J. Richard Freud, two prominent framers of the great municipal document, Baseball To-Morrow. Following is the line-up for the Califor- ria League pall game at Sixteenth and Folsom streets to-morrow: San Franciseos. erty of S8an Frandisco County atout twenty (20) per cent. Increasing samieto over $422,- 000,000 for State purposes, and thus imposed an additional burden on our taxpayers of over $300.000 in coin, which can only be met by ¢conomy and refofm et home; nov, therefore, e it Resol ed, That our committee on platform and resolutions be and hereby is instructed to prepare and report back to tnis convention for action st its next meeting an amended or sub- stitute “finaneial” plank that wili pledge our nominees for Supervisors not to exceed 85 cents on the 100 of the total assessed value of $357,586,126, returned by the Assessor,and pledge all nominees to a faithful poriormance of such pledges, and thus cut $178,793 under the existing pledge in our platiorm of 90 cents, and save our uxglyers that much of ‘the $300,000 imposed by the “stand-and-deliver’” policy of the State Board of Equalization. Fleet F. Strolher, the candidate for Au- ditoy, came to the platiorm and argued for a still lower rate, being fortified with fig- ures he had prepared. He showed that the total of the assess- ment roll before the increase was $357,- 586,126. Subtracting solvent credits and money left $322,407,392 on which to make an assessment under the pledge. The infamous State Board of Equaliza- tion had increased the assessment roll by 20 per cent of $322,407,382. or $64,481478, making the total roll $422.067,604, exclu- sive of railroad assescments, A 90-cent assessment on $357,586,126 would yieid §3,- 118,275 16, the amount for which the con- vention pledged its nominees to run the City government. An assessment of $7.388 on each $100 of valuation would produce $3,118,23546 or within $40 of amount to be raised under the original pledee. The difference in the amounts raised by a 90-cent tax in the valuations before and atter the raise was $1,911,876. He thus argued that the rate should be 73.88 cents instead of 85 cents. The resolution was so amended and re- ferred to the committee on resolutions. Chairman Nealon called for suggestions of names as candidates for Supervisor, to be acted “upon later, and the following were submitted, tbere being, however, many in reserve: First Ward—Henry Eckert, Fred Callundan, 8, Sanguinetti. Second Ward—W. H, Thornley, Emil Kehr- lein. Third Ward—Stanley T. Allyn. Fourth Ward—C. W. Pope, — Bruce. Fifth Wara—A. A. Andrews, Seventh Ward—James Ryan, John Sweeney. Charles Mter. i—W. D.

MclIntyre, P. J. smith. The convention will convene to-night and will probably complete the ticket and order a " grand - ratification meeting, at which all the candidates will be expected to appear.

Virginia Fair and Mrs. Oelrichs Make Their Appearance in Court. THEY ARE ANXIOUS TO DEPOSE. But Judge Slack Decides That They Must Wait for the Date of the Trial. Virginia Fair and Mrs. Herman Oelrichs made their entry yesterday ubon the stage in the great play for the millions left by Senator Fair. They have remained aloof hitherto, allowing their brother Charles to represent the family in the shifting scenes in and out of court. For most of the time they have figured in society at New York and Eastern seaside resorts, and occasion- ally in telegraphic dispatches dated there. But a few days ago, probably grown weary of the reports of postponements which came to them concerning the litigation over their father’s estate, they came upon the scene, and yesterday when the law- yers gathered for their weekly byplay they were sitting at the council-table as much interested as though it were a real play and a good one. Mrs. Qelrichs was clad in a gray tailor- made suit with white silk trimming. Miss Virginia Fair was dressed in blue cloth. Both wore hais ornamented with large black feathers. They were, of course, the center of interest and attraction to the large aggregation of attorneys as well as that part of the audience that was or be- came aware of their identity. When Judge Slack called the case At- tornev Beatty, xegresenung Delmas & Shortridge, rose and announced the with- drawal of the motion of Marc Levingston to strike out the answer of Mrs. Oelrichs and Miss Fair to the contest of their brother Charles. This disposed of the ar- ument pending from that quarter and fen the field clear for action on the con- test on its merits. But Mr. Wheeter rose up to ask leave to amend the answer of Mrs. Oelrichs and Miss Fair to the contest of their brother. He wished, he said, to insert the objec- tion to the contest on the additional grounds that Mr. Fair would take more under the will than as an heir-at-law therefore bad no standing as a contestant —the same ground upon which the oppo- sition of Paterson was opposed. Mr. Wheeler saia he not served Mr. Fair’s counsel with written notice of his intention to make this motion, but under- stood they offered no objection. George A. Knight rose and said he had no objection to rthe paper being filed, but immediately retracted. “I think I shail object,”.he said. ‘‘We represent Mr. Fair's interests here and do not wish them 10 be jeopardized. We believe this pencil will to_be a forgery, and will fight it as such.” Upon this Wheeler said be would not urge the matter in this informal way, but would make the motion regularly after serving notice. He then offered his mo- tion to sec the case for trial, and that the argument upon the status of the minor heirs and of Charles Fair to contest be tixed for an earlier day. that Van away and that no action should be taken on an ex-parte argument. Judge Slack said the case could be set for trial and the status of the contestants determined at that time. Wheeler protested that the parties in the case should be known beforea jury was summoned.
