Rich Siiverites Take Almost Complete Charge of the Dem- ocratic Campaign. HIRE HALLS FOR STEVE WHITE, A Remarkable Apathy Characteriz:s the State Campaign Work of the Democracy. Joseph 1. Dimond, the candidate of the Buckley wing of the Democracy for Mayor, declared himself last night. He declared that he was in the fight to stay and to win, and he declared himnself opposed to the new charter. The candidates on the ticket held a private meet'ng at the Ellis-street head- quarters last night to discuss private affairs and party policy, and after the meeting Mr. Dimond, who attended, submitted readily to a brief interview. “Iknow,” he said, “that many people have expressed doubts that I would make the race, but they are mistaken. I did not eeek the nomination and I refused it when it was'first tendered me, but since it was tendered me in this complimentary manner I have accepted it and Iam de- cidedly in the fight to stay and to win. I have not given a pledge to anybody, except if elected I would try to give this City the best government possible and to work for the best interests of the City. This was the only pledge asked of me, and if Iam elected I shall assume the office absolutely untrammeled. “My position expresses my decided opinion 8s to who constitute the regular Democratic party of San Francisco.” ‘When asked for his views on the charter Mr. Dimond said: “I am against the char- ter, and I say it without hesitancy. In this I speak only for myself personally and not for the party. “I think that under the new charter an ambitious politician who secired the of- fice of Mayorcould and would use it to verpetuate himself ana his friends in power.” The Buckleyites deny emphatically that Frank J. Murasky, whom they nominated for Superior Judge, ever filed his resigna- tion with the committee, as was stated in the Rainey convention night before last by Joseph E. O'Donnell, when Murasky succeeded in getting the nomination there. They say that wasa fake in Murasky's interest, and that now they will kick Murasky off their ticket. Dr. W. J. Gavigan, who is a member of the Junta campaign committee, but who was nominated for Police Judge by the Buckleyites, has been told that he can bave the Rainey nomination to-night if he will resign from the Buckley ticket, but he has scorned to do so. Harry I. Mulcreevy of the Thirty-sev- enth District, who was ordered off the Junta ticket night before last by the Rainey convention, was defiantly renomi- nated by the district convention for the Assembly last night, and he still has the nomination of both wings. To-day he will file his certificate of nom- ination and then he will snap his fingers at the Rainey convention, as those Con- gressional candidates did at the fusion committee. The Rainey convention will to-night nominate Police Judges, Justices of the Peace, a Superintendent of Schools for the unexpired term and possibly Bchool Di- rectors. J. H. Simmons of the Boys’ High School, who was turned down by the last maunicipal convention, will probably be nominated for Superintendent of Schools. Tne delegation of the Thirty-fourth District last night warmly indorsed J. D. Griffin, who was in the Pond Board of Supervisors, for that nomination in the Eleventh Ward. Sam Rainey made a trip to Warm Springs yesterday to think over his ticket for Bupervisors. SILVER MINERS RULE. They Have Taken Entire Charge of the Democratic State Cam- palgn. J. J. Dwyer, member from California of the National Democratic Committee, will be the principal speaker at Metro- politan Hall to-night at & mass-meeting arranged, advertised and held at the ex- pense and under the direction of the Cali- fornia Silver campaign committee, through the efforts of Chairman W, P, Lawlor. This is interesting chiefly as typifying the fact that the Popocratic campaign in this State in the interest of Bryan, free silver and anarchy is being almost wholly conducted by the millionaire silver- miners, and as illustrating the remarkable apathy that characterizes the State cam- paign of the Democracy. On the word of many ancient Demo- cratic campaigners the present Democratic campaign is the most listless, fruitless and unconsequential one in the party history of the State. The first reason is the remarkable lack of interest throughout the party and the second of the leading reasons is the fac- tional dissensions in the party and the present factional control of the machine 8 few scheming and ambitious poli- ticians.

A forn votent through lack of party interest, party unity and co-operation and funds, and is so badly afflicted witn dry rot that the actual work as well as the expense of the campaign has been turned over to the millionaire miners who run and liberally put up for the silver party’s machine. The Silverites have money. They have lots of it. Charles D. Lane, millionaire, has taken a sip from the seductive foun- tain of politics and he has opened his eyes with the thrill and felt the swell of ambition within, as so many Western mitlionaire miners have done before. Lane asked the Pops with a generous wave of his hand to take a whole Pullman sleeper with him, and Lane will dash off a thousand-dollar check any day to help the cause—and himself, ~ There 18 Al- vinza Haywara, the Fair estate and a lot of other wealth behind the Silverites. And there’s the Southern Pacific Com- pany which has George W. Baker, John ‘W. Mitchell and others of its nta- tives at the helm of the Bilver The headquarters of the rty. emocratic campaign are only nominally at the Cali- Hotel. They are rul]{ in the Bald- win annex.

The millionaire silver miners are even paying for the mass-meetings of the Demo- cratic National Committeeman. They have arranged and paid the expense of all the meetings in this City and vicinity for Steve White, the Democratic Senator. They are -im(lur]y paying the main ex- renses of the chief Populist speakers. Chairman W. P. Lawlor, who helped put activity into the last Democratic campaign, has arranged several series of meetings, and, having plenty of money tospend, has even taken charge of the Popocratic n- gressional compaigus. M. F. Taylor of Colorado is to speak at San Jose to-night and then on successive nights at Santa Rosa, Napa, Oakiand and Stockton, and he will probably speak in the south. The silverites have taken charge of Barlow’s campaign in toe Sixta District and Chairman Lawlor has ar- ranged an itinerary for him lasting until October 3, embracing Santa Cruz, Monte- rey and Santa Barbara counties. The Silverites have hired J. L. York, the 1rae-'.hou§ht lecturer. and started him on a tour of the Sixth District. Dittmar, eaitor of the Redding Searchlight, is to stump the First, Second and Third districts for tha silver miners, and somebody is to be sent traiing after C. F. McClashan through the Second Dis- trict, to fight that staiwart Populist who would not be fused. The Bilverites are to assume the work of | the Democraticcampaign in 8an Francisco | s0 soon as this flurry about local politics lets up a little, and then Foote, Tarpey, Deuprey and the rest of the Democratic orators will be at the service of the silver miners, and speak at two or three district meetings a night at the Silverites’ expense. Mr. Lawlor has a l6t more itineraries and speakers about ready in the plenitude of his resources. The Br{nn literature being distributed through the State is mainly provided by the silver miners’ syndicate wkich sent him lecturing through the country a year ago. The Democratic literary committee helved to compile & pamphlet of forty ages, and quit work some time ago. The gllverites had 200,000 copies printed, and the Democrats agreed to take and pay for 75,000 copies. Charles D. Lane gave the Democratic State Central Committee $1000, but his bright son, Tom Lane, kept it to pay for those 75,000 copies. At the Democratic State headquarters the visitor wonders why nobody much is around, why those who are seem to be in thedumps, and why in the “‘heat of the campaign” there is notbing much going on. Chairman Alford is always there, busy,worried and affable, but the *‘leaders” don’t drop in muci, and nobody seems to be interested or busy or lending a hand. The Democrats who have seen the activ- ity. labor and hurrah ‘of former cam- paigns display their disgust in a confi- dential way orsay in a free-and-easy man- ner, “Oh, well, the Silverites are doing the WoTkP The lack of interest in the Democratic ranks is the chief cause of the lack of money, which in turn is a cause of further lack of interest. They profess to be proud ! of their poverty at headquarters, but in fact nobody much is interested enough to give $5 to the cause. “We haven’t taken in $1000,” said Treas- urer Hassett yesterday. “Five members of the State Central Committee have gaid that $30 assessment. The Palmer and Buckner campaign have taken away one branch of resources. The Federal employes shrivel into their shells at the suggestion of money, and probably say ‘civil service law.’ “The late Supreme Court decision made a lot of local patronage people mifhty mn- dependent. That ‘popular appeal’ hasn’t brought in two-bits. The speakers’ com- mittee and the literary committee haven’t moved for weeks. The tinance committee met some time ago and decided that it couldn’t do a thing. J. A. Filcher was going to hold up the Govarnor and his crew for $1000 and got about $4 40. The Sacramento people said, ‘Great Scott! we want money from you.’ "’ So the millionaire silver miners run the Democratic campaign. The rapid rise of the McKinley tide throughout the State, the enthusiastic co- operation of all classes in the McKinley campaign, the multiplicity of lively Re- publican ciubs everywhere and the dis- couraging reports that pour in from all sources help to make the woe deeper. S Democratic Aspirants. One issue that will further differentiate the candidates of the two wings of the Democracy will be the charter. Mr., Di- mond is understood to be againsi the new charter and Mr. Phelan for it. Bome of the partisans of James D, Phe- lan yesterday began an effort to make political machines of the improvement clubs of the City by getting the Associated Improvement Clubs to indorse Phelan’s candidacy for Mayor. As these clubs are composed of citizens of all kinds of polit- ical faith, such a rrocneding would tend to wreck the organizations and its success is not considered probable. The Twenty-fifth Senatorial District will have three Democratic candidates in the field, Senator John Fay being in the field for re-election as an independent. Fay looked long and hard for the Junta nomination, but he stood no chance with the combined opposition of the Daggett- Rainey-Lanigan forces against nim, who put up John Feeney, an employe in the Mint. Fay will take his chances against both the Rainey and the Buckley candi- dates. He is now circulating his petition. grltate i iaid The Palmer Petition. The petition by which the Sound-Money Democrats will get the Palmer and Buck- ner electoral ticket on the ballot is grow- ing fast, and yesterday Secretary Eliiott McAllister statea that about 2500 signa- tures had been reported by the paid can- vassers working in this Oitv alone. Others are at work in Oakland. Besides these, a large number of unreported names are on the petitions which members of the league are voluntarily working with at their con- venience, and many other petitions are being circulated by volunteers through- out the State. There will be no trouble in getting the required 9000 names. —— Plenty of Speeches.

Charles H. Davis Arrested for Robbing Carroll Cook in Stockton. -Charles H. Davis, alias Strauss, a noto- rious ex-convict, was arrested early yes- terday morning on the corner of Market and Powell sireets by Detectives Gibson and Wren. He was taken to the Oity Prison and booked en route to Stockton. He is accused of being the man who robbed Carroll Cook of & watch and some valuable papers during the Native Sons’ celebration in Stockton. Davis is 66 years_of age, and bas a long criminal record. He was first convicted in Troy, N. Y., in 1863 of robbery, and has since served most of his time in different gennen\ilflu on various ¢ .arges.

New Quarters on Natoma Street—House~ Warming Yesterday Afternoon. The new quarters of the Girls' Training Home at 147 Natoma street, near Second, ‘was opened for inspection yesterday after. noon and a large numter of ladies paid a visit to the premises. They are located in a four story building, the three upper floors of which have been fitted up for lodging purposes to accommodate the twenty-three inmates and young women who are without homes. There are offered plainly furnished, comfortable rooms at nominal cost and such as room there can obtain meals at the Young Women’s Christian - Association at 1 cent a dish. The home receives girls who are arrested for minor offenses.” It educates them, teaches them useful occupations and finds yesterday. “In the seven days we caught 115 magnificent salmon, the average weight of each being about four or tive pounds. They were not so very big, but these fish are very gamy. My partner caught one, for instance, and he jumped so much that he jumped rightinto the <anoe. I had one fish myselt that jInmpud no less than thirteen times. have hunted and fished all over the conntry, but I never found a place where the fish were so gamy as in that lake. They're beautifully colored, too. **The bears we got there were the brown and cinnamon bears of that con.ma. We saw no grizzlies. We didn’t bave time to g0 very Iiu- into the forests, One bear that we shot there—a big_fellow—managed to get away from us. How seriously ne was wounded I don’t know, but at any rate we couldn’t find him. Prior to (foln' to Canada I was down in Cuba and hunted considerably down there. There are a great many ducks there, and hunting these ducks is fine sport. But a far finer sport is hanting the alligator. I had a lot of experience at this and had a magnifi- cent time. I killed thres aliigators. I !H:J!O!B I'm not entitled to any particular credit for killing them, because you know anybody can kill alligators. Still, it'a a fine sport; a good deal of spice about it. “I saw & great many interesting things in Cuba while I was there. While I was in port there was a big ship there loaded down with 1500 rebel prisoners. Over in Morro Castle there was a lot more. If you get in there you stay forever. There is no such thing as getting out. *I had intended when in Mexico, where I was for some time, to have a try at the Mexican tigers. But it was raining and the roads were rough. My horse sank up to his middle. I'm pretty heavy, of course, and it would be expected that n horse would go down some in muddy roads, but these roads in Mexico discount any- thingon the earth that I ever saw before. However, I had some pretty good hunting experiences there. I was in the moun- tains of Vera Cruz and killed qnuite a lot of game indigenous to that section. The ame included the vari-colored birds and :}zo small animals that inhabit the moun- tains of that tropical country. “On my way here over the Southern Pacific Railroad I saw in New Mexico and Arizona large bands of antelope. Th:g were a beautiful sight as they mov hither and thither over the great stretches of undulating prairie. I was so much fascinated with tnem that I think I wilt go back there and hunt them for a time, then I will go to New York, where I am called by business, after which I hope to come back here and proceed on a tour around the world.

Miss Columbia and Uncle Sam led the grand march last night, being closely iollowed by Bhakespeare, who escorted Queen Elizabeth. Her Majesty’s court train of erimson velvet and snowy ermine was borne by six liveried pages. The music was supplied by the Hebrew Orphan Asylum bana of forty pieces, under the able and experienced direction of Professor Manser. The march was a dream of beauty, the costumes being gorgeous beyond description, while the beauty of California’s native daughters needs not to be described. The boys looked well enough, particularly Turkey’s Sultan and the Czar of Russia, not to speak of Uncle Sam. ‘fhree splendid tableaux were sgiven during the evening, the first being “The- o(phflns Selecting His Bride,” by the Rus- sian_booth, the following-named persons articipating: Mrs. Ella Sexton, Mrs. gouphmt orbier, Mr. Auradou, C.
