14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, BOURBONS FIGHT ~ WITH SPIIT The ifuuta Splits in Twain and War Is in the | Air. There Is a Hopeless Feud Be- tween the Kiikenny Cats of Democracy. RAINEY TO NAME SUPERVISORS The Millionaire Candidate for Mayor Cannot Clean the Augean Stables. The deadly feud existing between the warring factions of the Democratic Junta ‘was widened yesterday beyond all hope of reconciliation, if, indeed, there was any such hope before the hoodlum gathering called Rainey’s municipal convention dis- graced itself at Odd Fellows’ Hall on Mon- day nicht. There were mutterings and curses runtled all day yester- t he little bee of ambition sung to him cll::tu;neg that made nl-im long to be at the ad of the menicipality. hPBut the dissension does not end here, for there are local issues that promise to cause much more confusion, bickering and bitterness. There is not a more persevering friend of the new charter in San Francisco than the Junta’'s kid-glove candidate. On the other hand, Dimond is bitterly opposed to the charter and stands ready to lead an active fight against it. It is said that such men as President Fletcher and others of the improvement clubs seriously object to having the clubs indorse Phelan, who is president of the associated clubs. They say they are not organized, for political purposes, and that they will under no cir- cumstances be put in the position of an auxiliary campaign committee of Sam Rainey’s Junta. It is more than probable that the row over the attempt to have Phelan indorsed by the cluvs will grow much warmer, and tbat many of the mem- bers will fall in line and vote for Colonel Charles L. Taylor. Another element that greatly adds to the Democratic confusion is the growing strength of the Buckley crowd and the determined opposition of the Populists to the gold ideas of Mr. Phelan. Many Popocrats abolutely refuse to indorse or appear to give countenance to a man whose views are in opposition to the main sentiment of the campaign, as seen from a Democratic viewpoint. It was quite plainly decided yesterday that Rainey will name his own Super- visors. This means that the young mil- lionaire’s attempt to clean the Augean stables of the Democrecy will fail. In consequence it is possible” that still wider confusion will re-ult hy the refusal of Pielan to accepi the Junta’s nomination. So altogether the Democoats are sorely pressec and few know where they stand | and none have hopes of victory. pas i il i ‘Sliver Democrats. Twenty-five cents’ worth of red fire burned in rmall quantities last night illuminated the tent at Market and Larkin streets, which had been deserted by the 7, 7/ A DEMOCRATIE MURICIPAL The Augean Stable Appals the So-Called Democratic Hercules. day. Men who went to the slanghter as warriors in the lists against King Rainey said they did not object to defeat in open, honorable battle, but they protested against the speed with which the machine put through its slate. The many friends of azed Peter McArdle, whose safety was for a time in jeopardy, think there was no excuse for the wanton insults that were beaped upon his head when he attempted to speak. Besides the catcalls and yells of “‘Get onto yourself, old Whiskers,” it is generally beld that it was the basest of in- sults to gather the aged orator by the nape of the neck and elsewhere and boost him from the stage erc he had passed the first mile post of his peroration. Just as Mr. McArdle had addressed an apostrophe to libs and entered upon an appeal for purity be feit himself within the clutch of toe bouncer. He made a mute appeal to the mob and was hurled back to his seat. This insult his friends resent. They say that it outdoes the wild- est orgies ever seen south of Market. Besides the wide breach in the Junta, it becomes daily more apparent that thereis not a single poin: whereon the Junta and the regular Buckley crowd can meet for a moment. The gold element is now gener- ally understooa as indorsing Phelan, and it becomes more apparent every hour that the friends of Bryau and the silver ticket will not be driven to stultify themselves by supporting a man who believes, in his heart, that the masses of his Democratic es<ociates are anarchists, Populists and enemies of the established order of things. It is believed that Phelan’s views on oid are the same as those of ex-Mayor E. B. Pond, and that the Junta’s man jor the mayoralty would have gone to tne Ine dianapolis Convention but for the fact —————————————————— NEW TO-DAY.

OAKLAND, CaL, Sept. 20,—A mass- meeting of the Allied Democrats, Popu- lists and Silver party was held to-night at the Tabernacle. A hitch occurred over the opening of the house, as the rent was not paid in advance, but twenty-five silver dollars were dug up and the hall was opened. There was a moderate attend- ance and representatives of the three par- ties were on the filanorm. Henry C. McPike (Democrat) was elected chairman, and the first speaker introduced was Jndge E. M. Gibson (Populist), who made a long argument in favor of 16 to 1. Hon. M. ¥. Taylor oi Colorado was the next speaker. is remarks were confinea to the restriction of immigration and the free coinage of silver and he paid a high tribute to the ability of Senator Teller. T. £. Garrity, a Democratic candidate { r Superior Judge, also made a short speech. AIT T e Sliver Speakers. A. C. Ellis of Salt Lake City and W. A.

General Miles was at the dynamite bat- tery on the bluff above the fort yesterday and some “wind shots’ were fired for his edification. The test was one of the mechanisms of the guns only, and no shells were used, but the force of the discharge was easily seen by the way it cut the iops of the young trees which are growing up in front of the guns to “‘mask’’ the battery. The sound of the discharge could be plainly heard for about a mile and a half, but it is not a sound that “carries.”’ It scems more like a snort of displeasure, greatly magnified and with a vicious sna; to it. It is very like the sound whicl might issue from an overworked exhaust pipe, and 1t has not even body enougi to echo from the hills across the strait. It is at the other end of the range, however, that the dvnamite gun does business, and this feature was not shown to the general yesterday. His attention might have been drawn to some big holes in the biuffs across the water made when the guns were really loaded, however, as proof that they can do more than give a non-committal but impatient grunt when the buiton is pressed. —_— _ City and County Hospital.

PANDERMONIUM AMONG POPULISTS Ex-Boss Buckley’s Fine Hand Seen in Their Nominations. Leggett, Ferral, Dunne and Burke Nominated for Su- perior Judges. SUPERVISORS FOR FOUR WARDS Riot Over Judg: Hebbard’s Candidacy. More Nominations Will B: Made To-Night. Superior Judges—Robert Ferral, Frank H. Dunne, Joseph Leggett and W. G. Burke. Supervisors — Twelfth Ward, Adolph Sutro; Eleventh Ward, D. B. Todd; Tenth Ward, Witham Fahey; Ninth Ward, Ter- ence O’Brien. Cheers, shouts, stamping of feet, yells, catcalls, hisses and howling. These are the demonstrations that in large part sup- planted the regular programme of the Populists in convention to make nomina- tions at Scottish Hall last night. The body had hardly been called to or- der and the investigation committee re- vorted favorably on the namesof nominees suggested at the previoussession, with the single exception of Judge Hebbard, when a small riot was precipited by a favorable ruling of the chair as regards the possibil- ity of Judge Hebbard as a nominee for Superior Judge. Preliminary to this ruling it was de- cided that four Superior Judges should be voted for by each delegation, and that after their names, when written on a blackboard, should be placed a letter showing if the candidates were also the nominees of other parties. It was further settled that any delegation casting more votes than it was entitled 1o should be debarred from voting any more for the evening., This rule was afterward re- peatedly violated, but in each case the delegation was permitted to correct its vote. The names of those voted on for Suve- rior Judges were A. A. Sanderson (D.), Frank H. Dunne (D.), Robert Ferral (D.), H. W. Philbrook (L), Joseph Leggett (D.), Rhodes Borden (D.), W. G. Burke (D.), F. J. Murasky (D.). ~ Borden was obliged Will Vote for Bryan. j Priot to the balloting to appear before the nvestigation committee, whose questions he answered properly. Tingman asked for a ruling of the chair on who should be considered nominees. Daywalt ruled that voting should be had on candidates reported on by the investi- gation committee. This ruling would have included Judge Hebbard. Then came pandemonium. Gillespie ‘was on his feet in a trice, passionately ap- pealing from the chair’s ruling. “This is an attempt on the part of the chairman to railroad a McKinley man and a goidbug through this convention,” he shouted in stentorian tones, “and it must be defeated.” “Yes,” yelled Cator, “itisa shame that in the face of the resolution adopted by this convention a McKinley goldbug should be indorsed by this convention. Every lawyer knows that there i par- tisanship on the bench. No man who was refused the nomination of his own party should be considered by the Popnlist party.’ Dr. C.D. Cleveland also spoke to the -question, in emphatic tones supporting Cator and Gillespie. Attorney Ross of the Forty-fourth and Hon. J. Taylor Rogers spoke in support of the chair, Rogers contending that the in- urgreunnn of parliamentary rules by Hebbard’s opponents was rendered in an absurd manner. Daywalt surrendered the chair to Ting- man, and spoke 1n behalf of his ruling in a short but eloquent speech. He declared that be wished to railroad noman through the convention; he wished simply to see that justice was done. On being pat to a vote there was a divi- sion. Jobn C. Gore called for 2 standing vote, in order that the “traitors” should be seen in all their conspicuousness. Tingman declared that there were no traitors in the People’s p-r.tfig On a dlnudvo'-o the appeal of Giliespie was ained. The name of James G. Britt was with- drawn from the candidacy for Superior Judge. The name of Frank Lawler was substituted, but for some reason was not voted on. Charles Schaffer was suggestea as a nominee for Supervior from the Sixth Ward and Robert Munch as Surveyor. The report of the committee on “investi- gation stating that all suggestions of names of nominees must be in by to-night was read, and Stephen R. O’Keefe was placed forward for Police Judge. Ballot- )bx;g for four Superior Judges was then gnn. Amid loud acclamation it wasannounced that a total of 104 votes were cast, which stood as follows: A. A. Sanderson 29, F. H. Duune 79; H. W. Philbrook 28, Robert Ferral 100. Joseph Leggett 95, W. G. Burke 56, F. Murasky 16, Rhodes Borden 17. Dunne, Leggett, Ferral and Burke, receiving a majority over all, were de- clared the nominees of the People’s party. Balloting was then had for a Supervisor from the Twelith Ward. The name of T. G. Parker, Mayor Sutro’s only opponent, was withdrawn by Attorney Haskell ac- cording to Parker’s wish, and Butro’s nomination was made unanimous for Supervisor from the Twelith Ward, Loud cheering followed. There were two candidates from the Eleventh Ward—J. A. Anthony (P.) and D. D. Todd (D.). Todd received 66 votes to Anthony's 35 and was declared the nominee. The vote for the candidates from the -Tenth Ward was: For Charles Gildea (D.), 43; for William Fahey (D.), 48, and for Dr. Rottanzi, 7. No one_ was declared the nominee, as no candidate received a majority over all. A reballot resulted in Fahey receiving 57 and Gildea 40. Fahey was declared the nominee. In order to continue the balloting on the Ninth Ward it was found necessary to True, True; Every Word of It True. extend the time of adjournment from 11 to 11:30 o’clock. The baliot resulted in P. D. Mullaney (D.) uceiving 6 votes, Ter- ence O'Brien (D.) 71, H. B. Goeckin (D.) 7, John Baker (L.) 9. O’Brien.was de- clared the nominee from the Ninth Ward. A shrewd scheme was practiced in bring- ing O’Brien’s name forward asthat of a candidate of tue Populist belief. Many Populists left the hall still believing him of their following. The casting of ballots was attended with reat excitement, as many of the delegates orgot to rise when their vote was an- nounced. Taken all in all, the consensus of fomici-ns is that Buckley was pretiy well represented on the ticket. Dunne is said to be a Junta man. Adjournment was taken till 7:30 o’clock to-night, the convention to be heid at the People’s Party tent. ACCUSED SUPERVISORS. Jury Impaneled by the Court to Try the Solid Seven. Trial Did Not Proceed Yesterday Owing to Illness of the Dis- trict Attorney. The seven Supervisors who were ac- cused by the late Grand Jury of miscon- duct in office in reducing the assessments of the 8an Francisco Gasliznt Company and Market-street Railway Company were before Judge BSeawell, Department 1, Buperior Court, yesteraay. They were represented by Joseph C. Campbell and John H. Dickinson. The people were represented by District Attorney W. 8. Barnes and his assistant, Mr. Hosmer. A jury consisting of the following citi- zens was secured yesterday forenoon: John Titns, 1040 Army street; Charles ‘Wiener, 380 Sixth street; Max Armer, 306 facramento street; M. Hashagan, 506 Sixth street; John Brophy, Ninth and Clementina streets; J. J. Callish, 2124 Fiil- more street; Gus Harshall, 1008 Post street; James Fagan, 10 Hanover street; 8. 8. fi‘runuin, 1803 Jones street; Myer D, Levinson, 120 Sutter; Fred Hutmeyer. 1736 Devisadero street; Chris Knobman, 2031 Fillmore street. In the selection of the jury the defend- ants used nine peremptory challenges and the people five. One juror was excused by consent and two “were disqualified under the statute. Many questions were propounded to ascertain if the jurors were biased or had close relations with the Supervisors, the Civic Federation or the corporations whose assessments were re- duced. The accused Bupervisors are: K_infi,e Peter A. Scully, E. C. Hughes, C. K. njamin, A. W. Morgenstern, Chris Dunker and E. L. Wagner.

THE RECORD OF SiX MONTHS. Sketch of the Organ zation’s Wonder- ful Progress in a Short Space of T.me. “A Loving Greeting”—such was the welcome, emblazonea in letters of azure and gold, accorded by the Volunteers of America 1o their guests at last night’s in- augural campaign service in Metropolitan Temple. The troops assembled at their head- quarters in the old Young Men's Christian Association Building on Sutter street, and marched to the corner of Fifth and Jessie streets, where a very creditable open-air concert was given by the battalion brass band. Meanwhile people were pouring into the temple, the interior of which was elaborately yet tastefully adorned with hangings and flowers. Soon the building was packed and when the exercises began there was room for no more. Major Blackhurst presided, and when he led Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth to the central seat on.the platform there was a burst of applause. Those on the platform knelt a moment in silent prayer, after which the hymn “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” was sung with a spirited chorus after each stanza. The Rev. William Rader, pastor of the Third Congregational Church, then led in prayer. Miss hontgnmer)’ gave a most artistic and expressive rendering of “The Holy City,” being accompanied on the piano by Major Blackhurst, who proved himself an able, sympathetic accompanist. After a brief reading from the **Volun- teer Daybook,” or manual of devotion, and an oft-repeated chorus, Major Black- hurst delivere. a graceful adadress of wel- come to Mrs. Ballington Booth, whom he introduced as “the mother-heart of the Voluunteers.” The enthusiasm with which the little lady wasgreeted was indescribable. Four times did she attempt to speak, each time being interrupted by bursts of cheering, hats and handkerchiefs being waved ami cries of “God bless Mrs. Booth,’’ and huz- zas without number. *I have come from my post in Sing Sing,” said Mrs. Booth, “‘and naturaliy gravitated toward San Quentin. There I found a glad welcome and I hope twenty- seven precious souls were saved. “As yet the Volunteers of America are a little weak band, only six months old. We are not here to promise great things nor to make ambitious schemes. The Volunteers are animated by love of God, love of country and love of ‘the outeanta—, not by a spirit_ of controvetsy nora wish to tear open old sores. Ido not wish to attempt a justification of the course pur- sued by myself and my husband six months ago. That courss was forced | upon us and resulted in |the birth of | this movement—a movement brought forth amid tears, prayers and heartrend- ing agony. ‘“We expected a longer, harder fight than we have had. The commander and I, when the work of nine years was closed a ainst us, were minded to retire into private life. Our hearts were crushed and sorrowful. But friends besought us to set them to work with us for God. Day after day on our knees we sought for light and guidance and at last out of the primal | chaos came order. First we took a name. England has its paid troops, Germany its compulsory military service and France its conscription, but this country in its days of darkest peril has ever relied upon its volunteers. ’Fhe name soon became popular and is now our recognized title. “Our aim has been misunderstood and | misrepresented. We have been accused | of neglecting the lower orders of society, of having no rescue homes, and of keep- ing away from the slums. As a fact, we wish and intend to go wherever Christ may wish us to carry his mes<age of hope to the hoveless. This is our field. Let us grow a little—we are only six months old— and we will try to labor in it as best we may. “We started with five officers in three rooms. We have now in New York head- quarters consisting of t'ree floors, with a staff of forty-five officers. Our posts | throughout the Union number 116, and | our officers upward of 300. We have no | life vows. The commander and I never took vows for life, as we came into the Sal- vation Army before the swearing-in service | was instituted. | “‘Our work is a National one, thongh we | shall gladly let any Volunteer leave our | ranks to work for God in foreign lands, | and try to raise the money for nis fare,” = | Mre. Ballington Booth then announced that she had a secret which she would re- | veal this evening. She also gave a sketeh | of the order's secular branch, the “De- fenders’ League,” and invited new mem- | bers into its ranks. A band of winsome | lasses in cadet blue uniforms went through | the audience and soon recruited & score or 8o of “‘defenders,” each of whom pledged $5 a year for the support of the cause. The doxology was sung, and after a | brief prayer Mrs. Ballington Booth pro- nounced the benediction. BATTING AND BOXING Burlesque Baseball Game on Sun- day — Club Fights for October.
