THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1896. 5 gold miner named Lane” whose income is §50,000 per month, and who spoke at a silver meeting in this City recently. Mr. Loud had been asked why Mr. Lane a gald miner, should be for free silver. The people who asked that question could easily ascertain, said Mr. Loud, that a man migh: strike a rich gold mine and not be sufficiently gifted to reason logic- ally on finance. 3 ““Mr. Lane knows that the remonetiza- tion of silver will not decrease the price ot gold,” added the speaker. ‘‘He can, if he wishes, pay his miners’ wages in silver. He is not half as biz a fool as he looks— and when I say that I don’t mean any dis- respect to the gentleman — because he catches them going ana he catches them coming.”” 5 Mr. Loud next turned his attention to the claim of the Democrats and the silver- mine owners that the Government could make 100 cents out of 50 cents. If that were true the Government could make 100 cents out of a mill by stamping a piece of | paper. The Populist assumes that the | Government has power to create value, | and they have repeated!y said that it was folly to stamp either gold or silver. They assume that the Government can create wealth. “Now, if the Government can create wealth it can create wealth in unlimited quantities. If we can success- fully maintain a circulation of $50 per capita and create value in that manner, why not make enough yalue to make all the people wealthy?” 5 The speaker next turned his attention to the argument that the depreciation in the bullion value of silver caused the de- preciation in the price of wheat. In reply to this assertion he said: “Silver has de- preciated in the last few days more than 4 cents an ounce, and in the same period the price of wheat has risen 10 cents per bushel. Mr. Loud announced that he had good tidings from Santa Clara County. He had been told that there was a great wavering MOREHOUSE TALKS " ON REPUBLICANISM Insincerity of the Demo- crats Is Illustrated Strikingly. He Favors Woman Suffrage Under Certain Stated Conditions.

I havemyseif offered to come down from the ticket to promote | harmony, but I have always understood that there was no opposition to myself, even from the other wing of the party, and I am happy to say that the gentleman who was nominated on the other side has to-day shown a desire for peace and has manifested true patriotism for his party by withdrawing his name in favor of mine for the position of Mayor of this City. He is deserving of credit for doing all that he can in his humble capacity to bring about that condation of peace and harmony which we all desire.” The speaker concluded by referring to the distress brought 'about by Democratic free trade and mismanagement of the finances, “The people,” he added, “have suffered enough from Democratic rule to atone for all the sins of the damned.” Congressman Loud was the next speaker. He called attention to the present indus- trial depressiom, which he said was a worse condition of affairs than the country wit- nessed in 1860, immediately preceding the Civil War. He deprecated the attempt that is being made by Democrats and Populists to array one class of citizens against the other, and the threatened destruction of the financial system under which this country prospered. There is but one class in this whole country, and that is the class of the American peopie. “Bryan says that if the Democratic party succeeds we shall have a panic,” continued Mr. Loud. “Does he know what a panic wouid mean to the country at this time, when the conntry is on the verge of despair? There is not & man in the world ho does not know that if we return the spublican party to power we will have gain that system of protection and loyalty Wwhich has made this Nation the greatest on the face of the earth. “The Republican party stands to-day where it always stood, on that broad the public sehools of California [applause], with a knowledge of the constitution of the United States and of the history of the United States and of the con- | stitution of the BState of California— I believe that that class of women | should be allowed to vote. If I had the making of all the laws of the United States one of the laws should be that no man or woman should have a right to vote until they had a knowledge of the constitution and history of the country and of the conmstitution of the State in which they live. Ii the ladies of Califor- nia have this qualification they should be entitled to vote. Iknow that it is im- | moral for them to associate with uson | election day, although it isnot immoral for them to associate with us on the other 364 | days in the year. “I would make a law to protect the laborers of the TUnited BStates so strong that not another laborer should come across the ocean. Iwould not do this because of any antagonism against the place of any man’s birth, but the time has come when America shall show the world that she is big enough to take care of herself.” The speaker then turned his attention to the plank in the Chicago platform de- nouncing President Cleveland for sup- pressing riots, and declared that that plank had been inserted to please Altgeld, Waite and Pennoyer, who did not like Cleveland, and to please, also, Tillman of South Carolina, “who spends his vacation shooting niggers.” . He accused the Democrats of denounc- ing in their platform of one year what they had approved of but a year or two before. He himself had been born in Louisiana and had been a Democrat, but it had required twelve years of Repub- lican medicine to get over it. The Demo- cratic party claimed to be the friend of labor, but it was insincere, for the poor white trash of the South were held ‘“‘as worse than the nigger.” No great invention ever originated south of Mason and Dixon’s line, he said. When they were manufacturing cotton they hadn’t enough inventive genius to devise, a cotton gin, and tkey bad to get it from’ the North. Every man who fired on Fort Sumter votes the Democratic ticket. The speaker closed with an argument in favor of vprotection to American indus- tries.

Thomas Has Buried All Demo- cratic Possibilities in .the Election of a Senator. WILL GRIMLY WIN OR RUIN. The Democratic Party Will Cut an Insignificant Figure in the Assembly in Any Event. Leading Democrats are looking with something like stupid amazement at the political operations of Thomas V. Cator. For that matter a large portion of the Pop- ulist party are doing the same thing. Democrats see that in the remote event that the extensive fusion on legislative candidates throughout the State returns a combined Populist and Democratic ma- jority on joint ballot in the next Legis- lature the election of a Democrat will be an impossibility. If the next Legislature is not Re- publican, Cator will own the majority and as many Democratic members backed by many strong Democratic influences, would never cast a ballot for Thomas V. Cator, the situation, it is gen- erally seen by politicians, would create a deadlock and & bitter row. Cator would hotd the Populist balance of power to an adjournment without the election of a Benator. Cator has acquired remarkable boss power in his party, and throughot the State has traded any and everything belonging to his party for Assemblymen, always giving the Democrats the Senator for White's benefit two years hence, and throwing 10 judges and Supervisors especially. Outside of San Francisco there is hardly a Democratic candidate for the Assembly in the field. In the face of this state of affairs all the big Democrats who want to go to the Sen- ate are waking up in dismay. White has been able to play trumps right along in | his game with Cator for partner, but no- body can see where John Daggett, Con- gressman Maguire, Governor Budd, W. W. Foote 'or Frank Gould, all avowed candi- dates, have taken a trick. And nobody can see what chance a man of them would bave between the Re- publican and Populist millstones if the large hold-over Republican majority were overcome. The Democracy will be a four- spot in the coming Assembly. The Popu- Jists will cut no figurein the smaller upper house. All the Democratic candidates men- tioned and Gavin McNab, who has been mentioned himself, comprise the Con- gressional and legislative standing com- mittee of the Democratic State Central Committee, but this committee has never drawn a breath of life. Each member has simply either looked out for or dreamed about himself, white Cator has been reach~ ing persimmons. Maguire’s friends have wondered and hoped and splashed around just a little | bit. Daggett effected the nomination of & haif-dozen friends on the Junta ticket. The Democracy has thus been captured by the shrewd Cator throughout the State and the Democracy is sick with disgust | and despair. But it is the coup which Cator has quietly played in San Francisco within three or four days which has most sick- ened_the Democracy. The ticket which the Populist Legisiative Convention in- dorsed last night was absolutely picked out by Cator, whose word wss law. It turned out that Cator's deal with Buckiey did not cover the entire legisla- tive ticket. Some of it was too rotten for Cavor to trust. He found it weli to make some deals with Sam Rainey as well. He investigated quietly and picked his men from both sides of the local Democracy. Every man indorsed had to pledge him- self satisfactorily to Cator in private, and the Populist ticket is supposed to be for Cator and White. Each candidate has had to pledge him- self to vote half the legislative patronage they may have a finger in to the Populist politicians for another thing. Cator counts on bossing the jobs in the next Legisliature. ivery candidate is pledged, too, to not vote for John Daggett for Senator in par- ticular, or any gold mau 1n general. Can- didates have all been before Cator and the nvestigating committee within three days { and bave had to pledge themselves in ad- | vance to these things to have their names considered. Cator, with his party influence to use as | absolutely as ever Chris Buckley used his | party’s power, has thus done the best he | conld with twenty-three candidates for the Legislature from San Francisco, all of whom are pledged to divvy the legislative patronage with the nungry Populists and to vote for the evil one before John Dag- gett. Cator is slmbUng on bolding their votes for himself. Tog spectacie of the Democracy of the 8taté being sold out to a Cator in this wholesale way gives the discouraged Dem- ocrats a tired feeling, generally, and so disgusts thousands that* their knives will be played into Cator’s ambition. 1’s a_delightful prospect for Maguire, Foote, Budd and those fellows. Wait until the real fun of it all arrives. gty THE IROQUOIS CLUB. A Resolution Indorsing Judge Heb- bard Warmly Discussed. * The Iroquois Club spent about an hour of its weekly meeting last evening ina hot discussion of a resolution offered by J. J. Flynn indorsing J. C. B. Hebbard, Non-Partisan candidate for the Superior bench. Judge Hebbard had many friends in the meeting and Max Popper, ex-Con- troller Dunn and others talked in favor of this action in view of Judge Hebbara's record, but it was warmly urged by C, A. Begnolds. Louis Metzger, Samuel McKee and others that the club should stick by its party; that there were honest men on the Democratic licket and that it would be a precedent that would bring trouble to the club. The resolution was finally referred to the committee on reso- lutions without being acted upon. Max Popper revorted that the water- front campaign meeting held by the club cost $9 75, and it was decidea to hold more little meetings south of Market. To-morrow the club will enj nual bullshead breakfast at San D i New Rainey Headquarters. The campaign committee of the Junta met last night with the *‘purity” commit- tee appointed by Chairman Ragan and decided to get the old quarters in the Flood building, formerly rented of the Btate Democratic Club. Having no place to meet Popper so ruthlessly carted niture and cl up the quarters, they met at the rooms of the State Com- mittee in the California Hotel. It wasde- cided to hold district meetings and to hold its an- a ratification meeting next Wednesday night to glorify Sam Rainey’s ticket. O’BRIEN AND McKINLEY. They Are Greeted Enthuslastically by the Continental League. Thomas B. O'Brien, Republican candi- date for Congress from the Fourth Dis- trict, and Benjamin McKinley, the nephew of the coming President of the United States, spoke last evening before the Continental League at Saratoga Hall. Mr. O'Brien called the attention of his audience to Representative Maguire, his opponent, now in Massachusetts telling t.lga mechanies of that State of the beauties of free irade. “If I am sent to Congress,” said the speaker, ‘“‘there will not be a tariff measure 80 high that I will not vote for it O'Brien advocated the completion of the Nicaragua canal and the closing of the Golden Gate to cheap Asiatic labor and its products. He was enthusiastically ap- lauded, and by & resolution the league-| Eentil indorsed his candidacy. Mr. McKinley’s remarks were greeted with rounds of lond applause. SRS e P GERMAN REPUBLICANS. Enthusiastic Meeting of the Club at 413 Bush Street Last Evening. The German-American Republican Club held its regular weekly meeting last night at 413 Bush street. Dr. Muffe, chairman of the executive committee, reported that the arrange- ments for the great mass-meeting of the German-American Republican citizens, which will be held on October 14, at the Auditorium, were actively progressing. The next speaker was Justice of the Peace G. C. Groezinger, who dwelt in de- tail upon the silver question as explained by Candidate Bryan in his various ad- dresses, and showed the fallacy of the propositions advocated by thut gentleman. The next speaker was Attorney Leon Samuels, who urged the fact that the pri- mary question of the day, free trade or rotection, was not to be lost sight of. n particular he denounced the Populists on account of their seeming alliance with the repudiated and unscrupulous Demo- cratic political boss, Chris Buckley. The other speaker of the evening was Captain George Raabe, who advocated the mew charter, and his views evidently met with the approval of the club. Before adjourning the clubunanimously indorsed the candidacy of G. C. Groe- zinger for Justice of the Peace. POSED IN CATHODE RAYS, The Governor Inspects the Fair and the Ghostly Light. A Speech ot Welcome by President Denicke and the Governor’s Response. The entrance of Governor James H. Budd and staff into the Home Products Fair last nigkt was slightly spectacular. A handkerchief was waved at the main entrance as soon as they came into sight. The crowd exclaimed, “Here he comes!” and every ‘face, from those peering over the railings of the galleries down the stair- cases to the crowded main floor, was turned that way. At the wave of the hendkerchief the band began to play “Hail to the Chief,’’ and to the strains of that inspiring selection the Governor, his light-colored sombrero in his left hand, with President E. A. Denicke of the Me- chanies’ Institutc at his side, and his staff in uniform and glittering gold braid, marched down the broaa center aisle. The members of the staff present were: Colonel Boie, Colonel Burgin, Colonel Young, Colonel Peeler, Colonel Doolittle, Colonel Dunn, Colonel Choynski, Colonel Andrews and Captain Carrington of the United States army. The procession ascended a iow platform erectezrin front of a new flower booth in the center aisle, where President Hugh Craig of the Cbamber of Commerce, Presi- dent Julian Sonntag of the Manufactur- ers’ and Producers’ Association and Presi- dent Do:rmann of the Merchants’ Asso- ciation assisted President Denicke in the formal reception. There was an interlude of handshaking and introductions and then four young girls stepped into view and blusbingly pinned boutonnieres on the Governor and the glittering tinsel of each individual uniform. In a one-minute speech, which, on ac- count of the babel of noises, could not Le heard six feet from the speaker, President Denicke extended a hearty welcome to the Goverror, stating they felt it an honor that he could find time to come from his state duties to honor the fair with his in- spection. Governor Budd replied, saving that he was glad to be present to witness such an admirable exhibit of the manufac- turing resources of San Francisco and Cahfornia. That was the end of the cere- monies. Escorted by the reception committee, the Governor and his staff started on a tour of inspection of the fair. They went through nearly every aisle. The Governor was offered samples of everything, from axle grease to hot biseuits, and before he finished the trip the gubernatorial pock- ets bulged with picture-cards, manilla rope, baskets, soap, popcorn, complexion powder and a patent shoestring clasp, with the motto, “‘Every lady should have one.” The Governor was induced to walk into the darkness and then into the ghostly light of a Roentgen ray factory. The ex- posure showed him with no broken bones and his heart in the right place. In one of the aisles the Governor paused to say to a CALL reporter: ‘‘Itisa wonder- ful fair. I have been. to every fair here. There has always been an improvement, but this is the greatest improvement of ali.” In the private rooms of the Pavilion an informal banquet was given for the Gov- ernor and staff, at which it was announced there would be no speech-making. well known to require any extended com- mendation, and, as was expected, they carried off the first prize over all other competitors for their superiority.

No one visiting the fair could fail to notice the beautiful and artistic exhibit made by the California Art Glass Works, located in the gallery, of which William Schroeder is president. One of the partic- ularly attractive exhibits of this artistic display is the art-glass bedchamber win- dow of Cupid and Psyche. The portrait of Longfellow and that of Reina Louisa are also particularly worthy of special comment. The many other designs .of scroll work in beveled plate glass all lend to making this beautiful display an exhibit not soon to be forgotten. The office and works of this company are located at 103- 105 Mission street, where they are at pres- ent engaged in extensive manufacturing of glass work for many of the most prom- inent buildings now 1n course of construc- tion in this City. P L The National Brewery’s Exhibit. The exhibit particularly worthy of special comment at the Mechanics’ Fair is the display of the National Brewing Company. Itis located on the main floor, near the entrance, and is composed of the different brands of bottled lager beer brewed by the National Brewing Com- pany. Itis not necessary to be a connois- seur of drinks to note the fine supremacy of National brews over all others. The brands manufactured by this well-known establishment include the “‘Extra Pale,” ‘‘Standard,” ‘“Munchener” and ‘Culm- bacher,” which are manwufactured from only the best of hops. The National beers have always taken first prize for the quality and superiority of their bes over all others in all exhibits and competitions, and this year it looks like a prizewinner. Should Win First Prize. One of the neatest and most attractive exhibits avthe Mechanics’ Fair is the dis- play of brooms, brushes, etc., by Zan Bros., the well-known manufacturers. 1t shows the making of brooms and brushes in their various stages as they are put through the machinery, which is in opera- tion during the afternoon and evening. Zan Bros. hold many testimonials as first prizes awarded at various expositions for the superiority of their goods over all others, and this occasion shotld not prove an exception to any former competitions in this regard, for their neat exhibit and the superiority of their goods are worthy of more than passing comment. e ae Awarded First Prize. The California Stump-puller is undoubt- edly among the most wonderful inven- tions of modern times, and of inestim- able benefit to the farmer. Towering masses of trees can by it be uprooted and overturned by the power of a single horse. The office and works of the company are located at 82 and 84 Zoe street in this City, where the machine can be seen on exhibi- tion. It is the most practical, powerful and successful machine of its kind. NOT IN POLITICS. The Board of Health Issues a Circular to Heads of Departments. The following circular letter to the heads of the departments under its con- trol was issued by the Board of Health yesterday : The Board ot Health has songht always and earnestly to give publicity and emphasis to the fact that politics, so called, and the public health are matters whose mutual interests can be subserved best by the widest posssible sepa- ration. The necessities and the advantages of party organization and party success are subordinate to the preservation of the life and health of the citizen. ES board is charged with the latter high and, while it does not think of inter- fering with the voluntary disposition of his property by any eitizen, it desires to call the attention of its officers and employes that, as the avtainment of their office was not due to party fealty, its continuance is not dependent on party service. This board, therefore, will consider it a cause for dismissal if any of its officers or em- ployes levy or collect, request or transmit, di- rectly or indirectly, any part of the salary of any other officer or employe for the benefit of either or any political party. JGUNST THE CHTER, Voluminous Document by the Labor Council for Circula- lation Among Voters. Petition for a Boycott on the Armour Packing Company Received From Kansas City. The San Francisco Labor Council met last evening. The principal item of inter- est was the reading of a voluminous docu- ment condemning the new charter. A joint communication was received from two combined labor unions of Kansas City petitioning that all ‘“Jovers of de- cency cease trading with the ArmourfPack- ing Company.” The circular stated that two District Court Judges have issued injunctions against a boycott being placed on the com- pany, but that they will persist in spite of the injunction. The principal reason of the boycott was said to be the discharge of several male and female employes. The w and legislative committee handed in a report on the new charter, comprising forty-five closely written pages. The report was adopted, and it was de- g - B A The above cut is takea from a photo- graph of the exhibit of the Gundiach- Bund- schu Wine Company at the Mechanics’ Fair, which has been considered by the majority of visitors to far exceed in gmt of excellence and artistic arrangement any exhibit of home products on display.
