The new Republican County Central Committee met for the first time this afternoon and organized. The personnel of the new committes is: F. J. Fletter, Alameda; J. H. W. Riley, Brooklyn; B. W. Striker, Oakland; 8. C. Washington; W. W. Morrison, First Ward; A. H. Breea, Second Ward; J. L Palmer, Third Ward; Rod W. Church, Fourth Ward; T. M. Robinson, Fitth Ward; Charles Mautalen, 8ixth Ward, and J. W. Evans, Seventh Ward. 1 After arranging for the debts that were outstanding the old committee adjourned sine die. After a litule speechifying the new committee proceeded to elect officers. B. C. Hawes nominated F. J. Fietter and A. W. Breed nominated J. W. Evans. The vote was eagerly watched. It had been given out, and the statement was es- sentially true, that the vote for the chair- manship would determine whether the old committee were to hold tke balance of power or whether the new blood would prevail. It was known that. there was only one vote in doubt. Evans took the floor and said that there .was no struggle between the members, and paid a compliment to Mr. Fletter. Mr. Fletter did likewise, and when the vote was taken Fletter courteously voted for | his_opponent. The result was: Fletter, | 7; Eyans, 6. The Evans votes were: Palmer, Breed. Robinson, Fletter, Riley and Archibald. The Fletter votes were: Mautalen, Hawes, Charch, Evans, Neal, Striker and Morrison, Mr. Evans moved that Fletter’s election be made unanimous and it was imme- diately done. This was the first proof of harmony in the County Committee for many years and was quite a surprise to those who have siuriven to_preserve unpleasantness in the party. . For the next two years there is promise of bringing back the old- time Republican prestige of Alameda County and it is 2 matter of common con- gratulation among all members of the party that harmony prevails at the outset of » Presidential campaign.

AN IMPORTANT STEP. Its Short Platform That Purports to Embody All Essential Needs. GROWTH OF THE MOVEMENT. P Throughout California and the Eastern States It Is Steadily Giining Strength. Important news of the single tax move- ment has been received in this City, hav- ing escaped the eagle of the Eastern cor- respondent. Itisno liss than the birth and baptism this month of the Single Tax party in-Delaware. “Yes,” said J. 8. Reynolds, the well- known Single-taxer of this City, yester- day, “the newsis true, The Single Tax party, pure and undefiled, was born and christened in the capital of Delaware on ‘the 17th inst. “You already know of the campaign of education, unequaled for ability, skilf and devotion to human rights in the largest sense, tnat has been carried on in that State for the last sixteen months, As the time for holding the conventions drew near the single-taxers sought to obtain from both the dominant parties a declara- tion in favor of their doctrine to be made binding on the candidates for the Legis- lature. They were rewarded with a plen- tiful supply of promises before the con- ventions met, but with insult, taffy and the icy hand after. Then a conference was called to consider the situation, resulting in the issuance of a call for 2 delegate State Convention on September 5, which was postponed to thel7th. “The convention was full, composed of laboring men, tenant farmers and those who owned tkeir iarms, men of business and many of the professions, a trul representative body.” This is their plat- form: We, the single-taxers of Delaware, in State convention assembled, proclaim as our funda- mental doctrine the equal right of all men to the use of the earth, and as the single tax is the simpiest plan proposed to establisn this right we demand that all taxes in the State of Dela- WAre, except & taX upon the rental value of land, be at once and forever abolished. We would thus do away with the corruption and gross inequality inseparable from our present tax system, ané relieve the iarmer, the workman and the manufacturer from those taxes by which they are now unjustly bur- dened. Buch a system of taxation would make it impossible for specu'ators to hold land idle, and would thus open uulimited opportunities for the employment of labor and capital. Then, after expressing sympathy with the silver party, they add: We, however, do not believe that any mere change in the monetary system can have any permanently beneficlal effect upon the condi- tion of the masses of the people while land monopoly exists. “The remainder of the platform has ref- erence to local matters. They appointed State and county committees and nomi- nated Dr. Lewis M. Siaughter for Gover- nor, and every county will nominate a straight ticket for ithe Legislature. *Do I think they will win? Why don’t you ask me if I think the placets will bold in their courses, or if 1o-morrow’s sun will shine? The Single-Tax party of Dela- ware has come 1o stay, and inside of four years will arise in every State of the Unlon or pend some other party to its uses. You want to read that platform over till you understand its meaning. You don’t sea much there about ‘transportation,” and ‘money,” and ‘Government ownership,’ ‘economical administration’ and ‘electing good men to office.” Yet they are all there: ‘equal right to the use of the earth’ comprehends them all. Study it, young man. “Qutside of Delaware the single- tax cause isgrowing everywhere. More single taxers have been nominated by other parties than ever before many times over. There is certain to be a large number in the next Congress. The Republicans of Michigan had the good sense to nominate Mayor Pingree of Detroit for Governor and the Democratic and Populist machines have fused to beat him, for he has demo: strated to them in a small way that access to hold land is the right solution of the industrial probler. “In California the single-tax movement "BUY SOME FLOWERS, PLEASE. “ o, RIGHT THIS WAY AND HAVE YOUR FORTUNE Y TOoLD THREE SHOTS FOR A NICKEL Scenes at the German Garden Fete for Charity in Berkeley. is apparently obscured by the ‘white- metal’ epidemic, but only in the seeming. “Yes, some single-taxers have the dis- ease, but always in a very mild form. Some children will have the whooping cough and hardly know it. That is the way bysteria argenti affecis single-taxers, and yet there isn’t a goldbugamong them. “You might have noticed that the single-taxers have been writing the plat- forms for all the parties this year. hey £OL their resolution for constitntional amendment adopted by the platform commitiee at the Democratic State Con- vention, and then some big land-owners got it turned down by a trick. The same men who did this have since bolted the ticket. The Populists of Marin County udopted the straisht National single-tax plattorm written by Henry George. *‘The favorite form of the movement in California isa pledge by legislative con- ventions and candidates "to support a con- stitutional amendment removing restric- tions to legislative action on the subject of taxation and revenue. The Junta con- vention adopted such a resolution, pledg- ing its candidates in strong terms. There werea few fossils there who frantically hollered ‘Single tax!’ but the majority took the sensible view that the people have a right to vote on it if they want to, and they also have a right to a'chance to adopt the single tax if they want to. “The same resolution was submitted to the Republican County Convention, but they threw it out. They thought it was a Terra del Fuegan war song, and by a ris- ing vote they declared ‘The peopie ain't ready for it yet.’ But tell it in whispers, lest some one be scared white, they nomi- nated several single-taxers for the Legis- lature all the same. “But it is after all by saturating the public mind with economic truth that the single-tax philosophy is making its real and its greatest advance, and not by the passing of resolutions and getting its ad- berents nominated for office, or even elected, until they shall be able to dictate legislation. He is a patient creature, the single-taxer, and he rests secure in the knowledge that the single tax will arrive on time; that it is due to arrive at the same hour when the people of California gatner economtic sense enough to perceive that it 18 not wise, does not conduce to their ‘protection and prosperity’ and happiness withal to work five days out of every six for landlords and their agents and under- strappers, the various industrial monopo- lies. A sure sign that it is coming is found in the growing belief that the makers of our State constitution did not possess all knowledge. They thought they did and so they legislated tor the minutest particular for themselves and their posterity, world without end. Hap- ily they are now all dead except General arnes and myself, whom Divine Provi- dence preserves as awful examples.” Union Meetings. OAKLAND, CaL., Sept. 29.—The Min- isterial Union of this city met in the par- lors of the Galindo Hotel to-night and ar- ranged the programme for a monster union meeting to be he!d Sunday evening, Novemberl, in the Exposition building.

Wendte read a paper on “Why the Masses Don't Attend Church.” This was _discussed by all the ministers present. Rev.

Maleton’s Will QAEKLAND, CaAL., Bept. 26.—The will of the late Henry Maleton, the San Pablo saloon man, has been filed for probate, 1t was dated June, 1895, but by a codicil dated September 10, one cday before~he died, annuls a bequest of $2000 previously made to his sister, Mrs. Mary Verkeyn.
