o THE SAM FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAX, SEPTEMBER 13, 1896. : i e THE DEMOCRATIC ~ SILVER HOBBY Their Mass - Meeting Held Last Night at Metro- * politan Temple. BY BALLOT OR SWORD. William Craig Foresees a Repe- tition of the French Revolution. CONDEMNATION FOR THE A. P. A. Bryan and Sixtecn to Ons Pronounced a Panacea for Every 111 Under the Skies. 1 | The Samsous and Goliaths of the local | Democracy were at the Democratic mass- | meeting at - Mewopolitan Temple last | night. { Bonfires were burnt from early in the evening 1ill the mass-meeting was ad- journed, at the intersection of Market and | Fifth and Mission and Fifth stree: The | speakers’ stand was decorated with the National colors. On the stage the Iroguois Club was pres ent in force, and in the front row the fol lowing memberssat: Judge Robert Ferral, Attorney H. C. McPike, Judge Lemmon, Charles Gildea, Walter Stradley and E. B. Stonehill. At each end of the front row sat two members of the Iroguois Club, deckea out as North American braves, | Before the opening of the meeting a brass band marched up and down the aisles playing patriotic selections, trying to awaken the enthusiasm of the audience. The speakers were often applauded. Es- pecially was this true of the venerable Jo | Hamilton while engaged in telling anec- dotes. The latter's comments on the American Protective Association, however, evoked the antagonism of many in the audience, which was manifested by a storm of hisses. | The speaker continued his argument un- | daunted. | Henry McPike was introduced by Charles Gildea, chairman of the meeting. In accepting the hornor, he said: “This meeting, which I hope i well sprinkled with good Republicans, if there are any such, is one which gives me great pleasure to preside over.” He said that this was practically the ini- tial meeting of the local campaign of 1896, | This, he declared, was the first time in 20 years in which the two great parties the mark on a definite issue,the money question. “Suppose,” he said, ‘‘the makers of the Declaration of Independence had in place of that decument adopted a resolution, as | foilows: | “We are opposed to American freedom | except by international agreement of the | leading nations of the worid. Wouldn't | that have been a handsome thing 2" | The speaker drew a parallel between | this hypothetical case and the monetary | resolution of the Republican convention. | A trio of youths, -announced as the | Moore Brothers, sang a couple of up-to- | date campaign songs, after which William | Craig was introduced. “When I look at this brilliant audi- ence,” he said, '] wonder how the Repub- | licans can say we are anarchists. 1 am | not surprised, however, when I remember | that the very persons who now pass reso- lurions against us passed resolutions against the Revolution. “The Chamber of Commerce of New York, which has passed a resolution against Bryan, passed a resolution con- ademning the Reyolution. “The contest 1o-day is the same asit| was 100 years ago, when Jefferson was a | leader. About that time Hamilton was & | member of the constitutional convention. He wanted to remodel the Government on the lines of the old English Government. This sort of thing found little favor with | the old patriots, but Hamilton was 8 pow- | erful man. ““He strongiy advocated class legislation, | but at the height of his power. Jefferson | returned from France, where he had wit- | nessed the ruinous results of class legisla- | tion. This was an object lesson to that | great apostle of liberty, so he raised the standard of revolt. “‘The same question iz before you to- day. Will you settle this matter by th ballot or by the sword? Let us not spe; of the sword. You have it in your power | 10 settle this matter by the ballot. When the physical strength of the classes is brought against the physical strength of | the masses the former wiil be crushed lke | eggshells, as they were in France, bat it | will uot be necessary. “This contest is not a contest of parties. Itis & contest of the American people for their rights, and the Repuvlicans see this. | Thousands of the members of that party | who love ireedom more than they love | gold or McKinley are coming over to | Bryan. [ “*Figures taken from cfficial tables show that you are rapidly drifting into the con- dition France was when the revolution | took place. You have 35,000 millionaires in this country. You have a& more arro- gant and impudent aristocracy of wealth | than has any country in Europe. I am | not opposed to the rich. But why are we called upen to pay taxes to pour money into the Taps of this favored few ? *‘The Republicans declare that they are for bimetallism, but by international agreement. Mr. Estee saysitis.as hard to get an international agreement as it is to get an international language. Gladstone says that bimetallism would be a boon to the world, but they couldn’t have it, be- cause an international agreement is im-! possible. England would never consent to it, because it is contrary to the interests of England. “Wfien Hanna was giving his directions to General Harrison be said, ‘You just talk ahout the tariff; don’t say anything about finance.” General Harrison said, *No, I have had enough of that sort of thing. I am going to fight it out on the money question if I go down.’ Whidid Harrison not want to discuss the tariff? Because he was President of the country when the McKinley tariff was tiied and found wanting.” The speaker closed with the declaration that the legitimate result of the carrying out of the platform of the Repablican party would mean that the rich wonld get richer and the poor poorer, and an appeal to the people to stand by the party which had declared against the funding bill. General Joe Hamilton was next intro- duced. At the mention of his name he was given aw ovation. He said: **Asin July, 1776, the American peopie, then a small Nation of 3,000,000 pcorle. adopted a document setting them free from the yokes and chains of slavery that they bad born hitherto, so in July of 1896 the American people had placed be- fore them a new Declaration of Inde- pendence, setting then: free from yokes and chains just as galling—the fetters of financial bondage. “And yet while the war of independ- ence brought upon our ancestors their Saral thei den and the pangs of stal and of unshod bleeding feet, in the do it brought to them their York- town. So it may be in this new war. My countrymen, in & time like this it | questicn of the funding bill? The reason | of it is evident to my | Mark Hanna and Collis P. Hantington | have been issued, and that’s what’s the | great toiling masses of this land. | try. | cupy is sc much superior to that of our | organ which towers above | give an opinion as to the tenure of office | of the city Justices of the Peace with a becomes all the people to act honestly with themselves and each other. It be- comes the patriot, no matter with which political organization he may be afiiliated, to study well the issues now before him. Otherwise we may forget the patriot in the partisan and do things not best for the country. ‘[t seems to me, from the speeches of | our Republican leaders I have read, that there is a lack of candol, a lack of con- | viction and consequent bolduness, which tends to make men think that they are not following the dictates of their hearts, but are entbralled by the clink of the money-bags of the bankers.” The speaker then digressed to tell a number of anecdotes, which got the audience in a good humor, after which he proceeded with his argument. “Why is it,” he asked, ‘that th Republican party in its plaNorm and its public declsrations is silent on the mind, It isthat are hand in hand on this question. You do not hear any of their orators speak on this question. Why? secause orders matter with Hanna. *‘Another question of importance to thi people of this land is the income tax. this proposition er presented to Wil- liam Jennings Bryan we know how he stands. Who of you can telli me where | McKinley stands? Mark Hanna stanas with the golden padlock upon his lips. | “When I ask my Republican friends how they stand on the income tax they are as dumb 2s oysters, because Mark Hanna has givep them orders. Our prop- osition fo tax incomes i one of the most just and equitable propositions that has ever been in the platforms of American | parties, i 3 | here is another proposition that is be- fore the people. A new party has sprung up in this modern age, the American Pro- | tective Association. My Republican | friends, how do you stand on the ques- tion of the American Protective Associa- tion? The grand old Democratic party has given voice in no uncertain tones io its sentiments on the question. “The old Republican gnrty stands dumb | on all these 1ssues, while the grand old | Democratic party that has made a thou- and mistakes, has spoken ous squarely in | favor of all ot them. The old varty has | made a thousand mistakes and atoned nobly for all of them, but thank God it bas never made the error of hiding its | colors in the face of the enemy, and it has | always been for the best interests of the e f “A stranger coming into this land and | seeing all the natural advantages which | we enjoy would say: ‘Surely these peo- | ple are the richest of any on the face of | the earth.” Ave, my friends, that was true twenty years ago, but things have changed in the last twenty years. Go out among the people and ask them how it is. | The laboring-man will tell you that he| works as hard as he can all the year round, and yet he cannot keap the mortgage off | his home. “The general people are so poor they shy | whenever they see a constable comis Go to vour cities and see how it is. See your toiling needlewoman bending over her work sixteen hours out of twenty-four to put bread in the mouth of herself and the | mouths oi her little ones. “‘My countrymen, do I draw the picture | too strong? 1o you not know the state of financial embarrassment that prevails in this country from one end to the other? Why is this s0? It seems to me 1t 1seasily seen. Fortunes have been more easily mede in the last thirty years than were ever made before in the history of the world. It is because therethas been some mis- take in the financial affairs of this coun- You will find corporations have com- bined together until they have united on one band against the toilers on the other.”” The speaker then reviewed the financial legislation of the country. “The money,” he said, ‘‘has accumu- lated in the hands of the few, and the great toiling masses are unable to get it. The two great parties taking the positions they do, it seems to me, there can be no question as to how the great American people should vote. I have no doubt of the integrity of my Republican friends who disagree with us, but it seems 1o me the position we oc- adversaries that even our Republican friends are compelled toyield the palm to us. We believe that when the Republican party takes the position it does, we ques- | tion the honesty of that party on those | issues. Let every Democrat that hears me to-night start out with the de- termination that he will make one convert, and what a showing we will make on November 3! We haven't | got any money to spend. We call upon | you to do yopr duty in the coming elec- | iion, and m#rk my words, when the sun | shall have set on the 2d of November, Cal- | ifornia will have done her duty, no matter what the otner States may do.” Beginning a short time before the | speaker finished his argument and con- unuing for five minutes, the great pipe the stage hummed a sonorous tune. There was| seemingly no canse for this, and it caused | scme amusement. There was great cheering at the end of the speaking TERMS OF TY JUSTICES. Attorney-General Have a Four-Year Tenure. LOS ANGELZES, Car., Sept. 12.—District Attorney Donnell of this county has been requested by the Board of Supervisors to view of providin g for them on the ballots in case they are to be elected this year and leaving them cut shouid they hold four vears, like the conaty officials, Mawr Donnell hasnot yet written his opinion in the matter, but says that he now has it under consideration.

SAN JOSE, Car., Sept. 12—M. M. Dug- dell bégan suit in the Superior Court to- day against the Southern Pacific Company for $25,000 damages for injuries received through the alleged carelessness and neghgence of railway employes. Dugdell was driving a horse attached to a butcher- wagon along Scott lane, Santa Clara, on July 23, and while crossing the Southern Pacific track a train struck the horse and wagon, throwing Dugdell violently against a fence, killing tbe horse. breaking tne wagon and destroying the harness, scales, steel and 200 pounds of meat. Dugdell claims his back was severely wrenched, his right leg and thigh mangled, and he was otherwise bruised and mangled and his nervous system shocked. — Tl San Luis Runaway Accident. SAN LUIS OBISPO, CaL., Sept. 12.—In a runaway on Garden street this after- noon, Mr. and Mrs. Ent were serijusly injured. Their buggy was overturned, and Ent struck upon the right side of his face, resulting in a serious abrasion over the right eye.

THE DOCTORS DIFFER. “Young Mitchell” Classifies the Ex-Champion as a “Has Been.” STEV: BRODIE SAYS “NIT!” Billy Jordan Thinks Fitz M:ans Busi- ness and Jim Will Avoid a Meeting. Bob Fitzsimmons’ challenge to James J. Corbett, erstwhile regarded as the cham- pion face-puncher of this small planet, forms the subject of a vast deal of maxil- lary music by the local sporting fraternity. That is in fact about all that is to be heard in the numerous downtown resorts. The consensus of opinion is that Fitz means business and Jim now bas a small elephant on his hands. “Jim is only a cushion-tire fighter,’’ said one of the sports. “Everybody who has ever seen Sharkey fight,”” said Young Mitchell, “Lnows that it is ridiculous for any man to taik of fighting another within thirty minntes— ves, thirty hours—of a fight with him. Corbett ought to be the last man to do any such nonsensicat talking, anyway, after the manner in which his laurels were trailed in the dust at his last contest. “I don't believe ;Corbett can whip Fitz- simmons, anyway, even if he were in the best trim and hadn’t fought any other man for six months. Fitz, in my opinion, is the cleverest man in the ring. *‘The general opinion herein the West is that Corbett has had his day. He may surprise us, but I dor’t believe it. The Corbett that stepped into the ring with Sharkey would not stand a ghost of a show with so hard and scientific a man as Bob Fitzsimmons. ‘‘As regards Sharkey himself, I think him a pretty fortunate fighter. He knows mothing of science, and depends almost wholly on brute strength. If any man can defeat him in four rounds, it is either Fitz or Maber. There isa good deal of chance in a contest, anvway, and a man may get an opportunity to deliver a knockout blow in the first round, while again he might have to wait ten or twelve. “I think Fitzsimmons realizes, from all accounts, that Corbett, as evidenced by his battle with Sharkey, comes near to being a physical wreck, and in order to keep some other man from getting in and whipping him is eager now to rush things and get the first chance. Bob is a pretty shrewd fellow. He krows not only how, but when to fight.” On the cther hand, Corbett has a good many faithful disciples, who cling to him as the greatest man on earth, which opin- ion, 1n one way, is perhaps justified. Among them is Steve Brodie, B, J. Steve thinks Jim could do anything. This, of course, excepts jumping from the Brooklyn bridge. “It may be all right to do this,” said Brodie, *‘but Corbett is the best fighter 1n the world to-day, and he defeated John L. Sullivan, the greatest fighter that ever iived, when he was in his prime. *If Fitzsimmons wanted to fight Corbett so much, why didn’t he take him on at El Paso? “Corbett’s backer, Ed Carney, author- ized me to bet Fitzsimmons, or any of his friends, $1000 that Fitz would not fight him. Corbett stated that he would break (Lft l;’.ig fight with Sharkey, in order to fight o “Fitzsimmons simply thinks that Cor- bett is in training for his fight with Shar- key and cannot get away; therefore he is running a pure game of bluff. “‘As regards Sharkey’s fizhting abilities, I am unable to speak, becaunse I never saw him fight. “I will not say Corbett can lick Sharkey, as I said before, knowing nothing of the latter’s ability, but I think the offer to do Fitzsimmons up within thirty minutes after the fight a good one. Furthermore, 1 believe ne can whip him at that time. If Fitz wants to fight why doese’t he fight Joe Choynski for $1000 a round? He evidently seems to regard Chovnskias an easy game. We know that Bob is broke and had to borrow money with which to { come home from England. “Personally, I do not like Jim. Iam simply giving my opinion of him as a fighter. Instead of training to fight Sbarkey he spent his time eating good suppers. When it comes toa hard fight he will train well and whip his man.”’ Then there is Billy Jordan, the veteran sportsman, who has been honored with a selection as master of ceremonies in every fight of consequence in San Francisco since the dark ages. He takes his little crack av Corbett somewhat aifter this fashion: “Corbett is a goner. Nobody realizes that lamentable fact any better than he, either, and his intention in taking Shar- key on was merely to avoid a contest with Fitzsimmons. “If he fights Bob at all it will be be- cause he knows he hasto go under, and he doesn’t want to do so at the hands of & ‘dub.’ He will avoid both the fights if he can find any way under the sun to do so. “The Australian means business. His manner of issuing the challefige shows this pretty conclusively. He undertook no war of words, but invited Corbett to a place where he could challenge him per- sonally. If Corbett wished to fight he would have been tuere. “‘Sharkey is no fignter. He is young and strong as a bull, and can get in and make a hard ‘go,’ but even he showed that be could whip Corbeit if there were no friendly police otficers round to take a hand at the right time.’” —_—— CORBETT AND FITZSIMMONS. Meet in New York and Post $5000 Each for a Fight. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 1z—Corbett and Fitzsimmons at their conference at the Hotel Bartholdi agreed this afternoon to fight to a finish for $10,000 a side. Each man posted $5000, but as it is against the law to sign articles for a prize-fight in this State, they decided to meet again in a few days in Jersey City, where articles will be duly signed. George Siler was selected as referee and Al Smith as temporary stake- holder. It was decided that the fight must take place within sixty days afier Corbett’s fight with Sharkey, or before March 1 next. DISCOVERED IN TIME. Mrs, Weber of Seattle Nearly Asphyxi- ated by Gas in Her Room, Park Hotel. A middle-aged woman registered at the Park Hotel, Turk street, Friday night as Mrs. Weber, from Seattle. She told the proprietor she was a widow and bada married daughter in Seattle. She had come here to go to the German Hospital as she had suffered for a long time from sick headaches, but the hospitel was full. She wanted to stay at the hotel all night and she would go to St. Mary’s Hospital in tue morning. She had two valises with her. Yesterday morning about 8 o’clock the proprietor was attracted to her room by the smell of gas. He forced open the door and found her unconscious in bed with the gas turned on. He had her removea to the Receiving Hospital, and last night she partly recovered consciousness and was pronounced out of danger, but she was unable to talk, although understand- ing what was said to her. Itis supposed she had been troubled with one of her headaches during the night and had by some means or other accidentally turned on the gas. She had $16 in her purse. SAN RAFAEL RACES.

Morgenstern, clerk of Judge Con- lan’s Police Couft and favorite son of Supervisor Morgenstern of the Ninth Ward, is in trouble. Mr. Morgenstern’s trouble is over the presence of an unwelcome prospective neighbor on Baker street, between Mc- Allister and Golden Gate avenue, where young Morgenstern recent!y purchased a lot for §1975, upon which he had intended to erect an elegant home for himself. But, unfortunately for bim, one Joseph Jacquemet, a florist with a residence in the Suvervisor's ward, had purchased a lot on the same side of the street and ad- joining the one bought by the son of the Supervisor, and without consulting the wishes of his prospective neighbor he leased this lot to one Quong Wah for the period of five years av the rental of $25 per month. On the lot the cunning Wah erected a homely Chinese washhouse, and with the loreu(yghl of a business man complied with all the legal requiraments n“u“r{: thereto, and matter of busi- ness Wah started in to cleanse the sofled garments of his pairons and when so cleansed to hang them on lines on top of his one-story shanty.
