14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1896. KELLY BITTERLY UPBRAIDS THE EXAMIKER Lays on the Lash Without Stint and Without Mercy. Its Proprietor and His Career in Public and Private Re- viewed. THE SPEAKER DECLARED HE IS PERSECUTED. Assigns the Three Main Reasons for the Antagonism of Hearst and His Journal. Joseph P. Kelly’s announcement that he intended to discuss the attitude of the San Francisco Examiner toward him, towara the Democratic party and toward all things which it undertook to advocate or oppose drew an attendance that was unable to find sitting room in Metropoli- 1an Hall last pignt. Kelly is the obdurate nominee for Con- gress of the regular Democratic Conven- tion of the Fifth Congressional District, and refused to withdraw from the contest to make room for a fusion candidate in | the person of A. B. Kinne. He is now | making an independent campaign, and if | usiasm that was displayed by the assemblage that gathered to hear him last night is any indication of his power and | popularity in his district, Mr. Kinne will | have a hard time realizing that he was ever engaged in a contest with the bold and defiant independent. In the course of his review of the career of William R. Hearst and that of his jour- nal, the Examiner, Mr. Ke!ty laid on the agony without stint and without mercy. Neither the private nor pubic life of the Examiner’s proprietor nor the public life of his dead father was neglected, though Mr. Kelly had promised to reirain from | personalities as far as he felt he would be justified in doing in view of the manner in which the Examiner had “maligned, sian- dered and persecuted’’ him in order to vent upon him the personal spiteof Mr. Hearst. He declared that there were three rea- sons why he had been selected by Mr. i his ‘malicious and motive Mr. because the speaker had be sful candidate against him fo presidency of the Olympic Club; the second, he declared, was that he bad reiused to vote for Mr. Hinton, the Examiner's candidate for Raiiroad Commissioner two years ago, and the third, he intimated, was that the | Examiner had been employed by the rail- road company to defeat him for Con- gress. Harry Keliey, ch seventh District As duced the speaker. stance follows: I have appeared before you to-night for the purpose of addressing you upon the v, and also in relation to er the auspices of the istrict Club.”” After expressi is regards and appre- ciation for the work of this club in sup- porting him in this campaign and making his excuses for speakiny outside of hisown district, he continued as foliows: “I desire at this time 1o go into my | canvass of two years ago, and in that con- nection also to talk of that paper to which 1 will hereafter more specifically refer. [Applause.] *T propose to show you how a man can be & victim of newspaper persecution, and | after 1 get through with this paper and 1its | proprietor, and after I show the motives and spite that emanates from its proprie- | tor I zuarantee tnat not a person will not say that his action and conduct is a dis- grace to the journalism of this State. “I was a candidate two years ago lor Congress, but was never before that a can- didate for any public office, and bad not been an aspirant for thatoftice. I was a member of the Democratic State Conven- tion which met at the Ba dwin Hotei. and which nominated the present Governor of this State. In that convention there were a great many combinations made to secure control of the convention in the interests of the raiiroad people. The different dele- gatious met separately for the purpose of nominating Congressmen and Kailroad | Commissioners. At the time that the Fifth Congressional District convention met it was known that the disirict was Repubiican, and there was not a single man within the borders of that district who would agree to carry the banner of the Democratic party there. They tried to persuade me to accept the nomination, | and I positively refused; but they finally induced me to accept it. I bad previously been offered the nowination of Superior Judge, District Atiorney and State Sena- tor, but had declined the bhonors; but when the party made acall upon me to serve them in my Congressional district two years ago I felt that in duty toilbe party I must accept, and did so. “Now what happened in reiation to my candidacy? An independent candidate was injected into the fighi. It wasdone throug . the agency of the San Francisco Examiner, and the opposition and ani- Hearst asa victim of vicious attack-.” Th st had, ne rman of the Thirty- mbly Club, intro- His address in sub- picnicing, and tramp- @ ing excursions have W\ theirattendantdangers D of change of water, over- eating, overheating.

Ask for PAC A s FRED BROWN CO., p) mosity of that paper went to such an ex- tent that it insisted that the man who should run against me should have for the initial letter of his name such a letter as would vplace him first on the ballot, and when it came to the publication of the ballot itself, that paper in the publica- tion of a copy of that ballot maliciously and premeditatedly left off my name from the sample ballot that it published. The opposition to my candidacy of that paper I may state springs from several motives. “In 1887 for the first time in my liie it was my fortune to run counter to Mr. Hearst. In that year I wasa member of the San Francisco Olympic Club, and in that year we had one of the bitterest elec- tions that ever took place in its whole history. I was on one ticket and Mr. Hearst on the other. I defeated him by five votes, and from that day to this he has carried his personal animosity into the columns of his paper with a view to injuring and ruining my volitical life.” 1sses and groans followed this an- nouncement, and there were alsoshouts of “He can’t do it,”” and “‘Good boy! Give it to him. Kelly.” Mr. Kelly referred to his past career and called the attention of his hearers to the fact, as alleged by him, that it bad always been above reproach. Continuing, he said: “Two years agn, you remember, there was a hot contest in the Democratic con- vention to secure the nomination for Rail- road Commissioner for this district. There were two very prominent Democrats look- ing for the office. One of them was the Registrar of this City, against whom I have nothing to say personally. Mr. Hinton was backed up by this paper, and there was another young man who was likewise seekirg that nomination. So far time it has ever been Democratie—have the people of the Siate of California se- cured some efforts at redress. *‘So far as this paper is concerned with relation to Dr. Stanton, even after he had been elected, they tried in all sorts of ways to ruin his reputation.”” The speaker then deuied the charge made by the Examiner that he was solici ing votes on the strength of the nation- ality of his father, and concluded his talk on this theme by saying: “Ihave a record in mv family thatis different from that of Mr. Hearst’s.”” This elicited loug continued applause, and one enthusiastic admirer of Mr. Kelly called for three cheers, which were given with a vim. He then en ered into a long recital of what he described as the disrep- utable private life of the Examiner’s pro- prietor. [This THE CaLr does not repro- duce, because 1t was not within the scope of politics and moreover was not of a na- ture that THE CALL is willing to publish.] He next referred to the character of some of the advertisements in the Examiner’s columns as being disreputable and inde- cent and declared that the advertising columns of that journal should be in ac- cord with the high moral tone of some of the matte: published in its editorial col- umus. Then, referring to the paper itself, he spoke as follows: “It has been called the ‘Monarch of the Dailies.” 1t is the mon- arch of the dailies. But it is not the mon- arch of the dailies by a good deal in some things—not in principle, not in stability of purpose, nor is it a monarch of the dailies so far as standing by the people; but it is the monarch liar of the journals and fittingly deserves the designation given to it by a weekly paper, which called it the monarch of filth, foliy and vice.” The speaker charged the Examiner with mutilating reports of political meetings, and somelimes omitting any mention of them, because of his having taken part in them. He also charged the Examiner with pandering to the lower instincts of the people by its sensational method of presenting news. JOSEPH P. KELLY, Who Told What He Knew of the “Examiner ” Last Night. as Mr. Hinton is personallyjconcerned, T believe he is a man of honesty and in- tegrity. “On the other hand, his opponent had been and is to-day one of the warmest friends I have. He was a candidate for that office, and when it came to a question as to where my vote in the convention should be cast there never was a doubt as te how I would cast it. But before the nomination had been made, before the vote had actnally been taken, a certain clique of politicians waited on me for the purpose of controlling my vete to secure the nomination for Mr. Hinton. I ex- plained to them my situation with rela- tion to this friend of mine, and to!d them that under no circumstances could 1 heed any proposition of that character. ““This clique was but the mouthpiece of the Examiner, and when they found that I would not under any circumstances vote for their candidate, they told me then that they woulcatee I was deieated .in my as- pirations for Congress. How faithfully they redeemed tieir promise is borne out by the fact that within six days the most scandalous charges were preferred against me in that paper. I then went before the Grand Jury witn relation to those matters and demanded an immediate investigation of them and demonstrated the utter and | complete falsity of the whole accusation. Notwithstanding that I had produced the proofs of my innocence, this paper is now rehashing and republishing the same accu- sation of two vears ago, when every man, woman and child in the State of Califor- nia remembers [ wentinto detailsin regard to my connecilon with that matter and proved that every single statement that was made against me was absolutely and wholly untrue. That is the fact. [Ap- plause.] “There was anotber reason for this paver's_ animosity toward me. This reason I discovered within the last seven months when it was shown that the Ex- aminer was subsidized by the Southern Pacific Company. At the verv time these accusations were formulated against me by that paper it was drawing $1000 a month from the Southern Pacific Com- pany under a contract which it afterward explained was one for advertising in its columns. This contract was the subject of correspondence as late as September 29, 18 Now I have here the statement that this is a Democratic paper. I for one wiil say that it has never been a Democratic paper since it was under the control and management of Philip A. Roach. “In 1890, one of the most memorable years in the State of California, what hap- pened? There was a distinguished native son an aspirant for the highest office in the hands of the wpeople. The moment his aspiration became public, the very in- stant that knowledge was acquired by that paper, it at once commenced the most vindictive kind of vituperation against him. I refer to his record as a living lie to what this paper stated at that time, for this native son did secure the election, and_he has now a world-wide reputation. Irefer to the Hon. Stephen M. White. “Take the campaign of two ‘years ago and what do you find? You find that the San Francisco Examiner, pretending to be a Democratic paper, turced down the en- tire local ticket from top to bottom, with the result that the local ticket, without this paper and its support, was almost | in iis entirety elected. What - ticket did the San Francisco Examiner support? The Examiner supported the Non-Parti- san ticket, with the result that the entire vote it received was 2500, and every single man who has ever been opposed by that paper, so far as his official career is con- cerned, has proven a true representative of the interests of the people. “Take. another occasion in that same campaign of 1894. I refer to the Railroad Commissioners. A young distinguished native son was elected in spite of the most villainous charzes preferred against bim. Batwhat has been his record during the time he has been a member of that commission? The vote of Dr. James I Stanton, I say, is a living hie to every accu- sation which tbat paper made arainst him, and for the first time in the history lof the Railroad Commission—the first Commenting on this he said: “That shows you the character of this paper; that it has not and never has had the true interests of this State at heart; that it indulges in sensational journalism to gather in the humble nickel. It re- mains for you to bring that paper to the same level of decency that is held by every respectable newspaper in the United States. While you support this paper it will continue to pander to the sentiments of the lower natures. You should take away your advertising patronage and yoa sho)uld withdraw your subscriptions from it.” Mr. Kelly again atluded to tbe $30,000 advertising contract which he said was made between Mr. Hearst and the South- ern Pacific Company for the purpose of controjling that paper’s editorial columns against aitacks on the Southern Pacific and all its interests. Mr. Kelly asserted that the fusion scheme was one concocted by the Exam- iner to fuse him cut of the fight. He stated, however that he had been nomi- nated by the regular convention of the Democratic party, and that he did not propose to withdraw from the tizht under any circumstances. He charged the fusion committee, which consisted of six Demo- crats and six Populists, with having been stuck with his peruonuf political enemies, and made the further charge that A. B. Kinne, the candidate selected by this com- mittee, was a member of the A. P. A. He read two affidavits substantiating his charge, and which further stated that Mr. Kinne was a member of Council No. 3. He declared that he was not a railroad man; that his nomination was not secured with the assistance of Jim Rea, andi pledged himself against the funding bill or any measure looking 10 & compromise of the debt of the Central Pacific Railroad. He discussed the Democratic Nationai platform in detail, and announced him- self as in favor of every plank in that declaration. MILITARY BANQUET.

Proceedings in the Chinese Mur- der Case Are Varied by a Political Speech. MAY LOCK THE JURORS UP. They Were Asked by the Court to Support the Candidate of the Non-Partisans. It Judge Hebbard is not elected to the bench again it will not be for lack of in- teresting novelties which have been intro- duced mto the conduct of bis campaign. The most bizarre of these and one hith- erto wholly untried in these parts was de- veloped yesterday, when Judge Belcher interrupted the trial of a murder case in order to harangue the jury in his behalf, Mr. Buckley ana Mr. Rainey, political experts who have probably invented more extraordinary methods of gathering votes than any twenty men in the State, will no doubt watch the effect of this experiment with breathless interest. ‘Wahen this jury is sent to its room at the conclusion of the case to deliberate upon its verdict the opportunity will present itself to Judge Belcher to turn the key in the lock and keep them there until tkey promise—every one of them—to vote for his favorite for Superior Judge. He will never get a better chance to do real "yeoman work” in politics. Certain- ly the members of the jury are not wholly unprepared for such a move, and some of them, who do not wish to vote for Judge Hebbard unless compelled to do so by some process of law of which they have not hitherto been advised, are somewhat alarmed. The triel of Woon Tuck Wo is being heard before Judge Belcher, Department 11 of the Superior Court. Wo 1s the Chi- naman who is cbarged with having shot Lee Ti some weeks ago on Waverly place. The prosecution concluded its presenta- tion of its case yesterday morning, and Judge Ferral had just opened for the de- fense when the noon recess was taken. Judge Belcher having given the usual ad- monition to the jury not to talk about the case, requested tue twelve good men to remain 1n their places after the recess had been declared, as he wished to speak to them privately. When the audience and witnesses had departed, but while the counsel in the case were still packing up their papers, Judge Belcher stepped down from the bench to the rail of the jury-box ana there began the first speech of the cam- paign in behalf of his brother Judge. Judge Belcher spoke in a low tone of voice when he began, and the jurors, at first wondering, leaned forward in their places to hear what the court—for the Judge was still the court to them, despite the recess—had to say to a jury in private. ‘When they caught the drift of his re- marks their wonder turned to amaze- ment. R Hds Honor began by referring to the candidacy of Judge Hebbard on the Non- Partisan ticket. e said his repudiation by the Republican convention was nota- ing less than a crying outrage. He de- clared quite hotly that this action was the result of ‘“certain influences’” being brought to bear against him, chiefly by corporations that had no doubt been offended by some of Judge Hebbard's de- cisions. He went on to say that Judge Hebbard was all that he ought to be as a wise, just and able Judge, and should re- ceive the support of every member of the jury. The address was an able campaign effort, and consumed a very considerable part of the time of the recess. Several of the jurors were personally known to the speaker, and some discus- sion foliowed on a familiar footing. Others of the jury who were not per- sonally known to the Judge, and who had no interest in what he was saving, took their hats and left the courtroom while it was still going on. The names of the jury who were sub- i:cxed to this experience were: August insky, 312 Eady street; P. T. Dunn, 109 Guerrero screet; T. C. Van Bib- ber, 1305 Polk; Washington Marion, 1817 Scott; H. C. Osmont, 320a Fell; A. P. Robbins, 1212 Geary; Willinm A. Davies, 1032 Jackson; Frank McMaullen, 1511 Jones; Jonn N. Nolan, 722 Wailer; J. S, Franklin, 2929 California; E. P. Danforth, 1816 Vallejo; James Scott, 424 Ellis. NO CONVICT-MADE G00DS Prison Directors and Manufac- turers to Hold a Con- ference. They Will Prepare a Legislative Bill That Will Protect Free . Labor. The Board of State Prison Directors and the directors of the Manulfacturers’ and Producers’ Association will hold a con- ference in the near future to come to an understanding upon the subject of prison- made goods and the compilation of a bill regulating the same that will be presented to the next State Legislature. Several months ago the prison directors decided to increase the sphere of useful- ness of the convicts under their charge by enlarging the jute plantso as to turn out goods other than grain bags. The Manufacturers’ and Producers’ As- sociation bitterly opposed this on the ground that it would materially interfere with free labor and cause a competition with local manufacturers, This protest and the controversy that followed brought to light the fact that California is a dumping-ground for the convicl-made goods of a dozen or more Eastern State prisons. This agiration caused a bill to be prepared and placed be- fore Congress that will compel prison authorities to brand all of their goods-for identitication. Allof t .is had its effect upon the Cali- fornia State Prison Directors, who have manifested a disposition not todo anything that will work an injury upon free labor and local industries. ' The matter has hung fire until the election of Julian Sonn- tag as presidentof the Manufaciurers’ Association, and he took it up sgain in earnest. recently met Prison Director Devlin, to whom he suzgested the advisa- bility of the two bodies holding a meeting and discussing the situation. Mr. Devlin stated that at San Quentin there are about 800 convicts who are able to work and assist in the support of the prison. He asked if these :onflm be divided among the trades. For example, 200 be spt to work making furniture, . 200 making shoes, and so force at work {n the jutemill. This ar- rangement, e believed, would not seriously niiect white labor and manufac- turers. Mr. Sonntag was notin favor of the plan. CHARTER ASSOCIATION. Rapidly Gaining by the Addition of Many New Members. The Citizens’' Charter Association held an interesting meeting in t e Academy of Science Hal! last night. Dr. J. A. Ander- son delivered the address of the evening in favor of the new charter, and he was fol- lowed by H. P. Clement and ex-Supsr- visor Denman in a similar vein. Several committees presented their reports. The ?, and still leave a good committee on public meetings stated that meetings will held as follows: October 9, Verein Eintracht Hall, 237 Twelith street; October 12, Turn Verein Hall, Eighteenth and Valeucia; October 14, Potrero Opera-house, Sixteenth and Tennessee; October 15, Teuionia Hall, 1322 Howard; October 16, Bethany Church.

COLEMAN FOR MeKINLEY A Life- Long Democrat Prophe- sies That the Ohioan Will Be Elected, His Impressions Regarding the Politi- cal Sent ment in the Eastern States. “T'm a life-long Democrat, but I believe in sound money, and hope McKinley will be our next President.” Thus did William P. Coleman state his political position Wednesday night. Mr. Coleman has just reached this City on his way to the Klamath Indian reservation, whither he has been sent by the Govern- ment to settle the boundary disputes be- tween the whites and Indians. ‘‘Yes, sir,”” continued Mr. Coleman, “I’'m what you call a goldbug Democrat. The goldbug Democrats in the East are very numerous and will certainly con- tribute greatly to McKinley’s harvest of votes.” ‘When asked as to Presidential pros- pects in the East, Mr. Coleman became cautious. ¢ I will risk expressing my conviction,” he answered, ‘that McKinley wiil be elected to tne Presidency. “I base this conviction upon the feeling which seems to prevail in the States. For example, Maryland ard West Virginia, despite their large Democratic population, are considered practically solid for Mc- Kinley. According to the estimate of several prominent statesmen 1n Washing- ton, Maryland’s majority for McKinley will be between 25,000 an “In Kentucky McKinley’s chances are at the very least equal to Bryvan’s, while all the New England States will be prac- tically a unit for the Republican nominee. In fact, with the exception of the South- ern States—exclusive of West Virginia and Maryland—I consider it safe to pre- dict that McKinley will carry the day in all the States east of Iilinois and (ndiana. ‘“As to Iilinois, I have found a division of opinion. The population is a mixed one, politically speaking, and it is unsafe to predict the result. My personal impres- sion is that the State will go for McKinley, and that Md¢Kinley’s chances are even better in Indiana. Missouri will go Demo- cratic, with a mnjorig of 25,000 or 30,000 for McKinley in the City of St Louis. In fact, it may be stated without fear of con- eradiction that ihroughouttue East a gen- tral confidence in McKinley’s election prevails. “As a consequence business is picking up wonderiully. Only a few days ago we heard of 10,000 or more idle men having been put to work in the iron foundries of Pennsylvania and the States near by. That surely means something. It looks as though the country were on the verge of a better state of things. “But I must stop,”” exclaimed Mr. Cole- man. “I did not intend to pose as a prophet and do not wish to be repre- sented as so doing. After all, the vote of the Nation’s workingmen may go for Bryan—at least so the Bryanites tell us— but between you and me I think the Bryanites will find out on the 4th of No- vember that they have been terribly fooled.” ————— HILKOFF LEAVES. The Russian Engineer Escorted by High Railway Officials Eastward. Prince Michel Hilkoff, the Russian 1m- perial Minister of Ways and Communica- tions, left San Francisco last evening with his son on the homeward journey. In the afternoon he was escorted to the Union Iron Works by Cotonel C. F. Crocker, and there he inspected the machine-shops and shipyards, where several steel barges for the Russian Government are in course of construction. The park was visited and then Prince Hilkeff starled for Sacra- mento. A special car was at his disposal on the Oakland mole, where the distinguished engineer was met by Colonel Crocker, General Manager Kruttschnitt and Wil- liam G. Curtis, chief engineer of mainte- nn:’ce of way of the Southern Pacific Rail- road. The party had arranged to remain at Sacramento last night, and this morning the Prince will be taken through the rail- way shops, after which he will go east- ward, accompanied by the high officials of the railway company as far as Nevada. pShR S Qs i Sy Southern Pacific May Collect Local Fares The Supreme Court has decided the case brought by E. G. Buswell to test the right of the Southern Pacific Company to collect fares within -the city of Oakland, and the decision is in favor of the Southern Pacific Compuny. The court held that if the Lezislature had any intention to prohibit the railroad company from charging a fare it would have said so in more exact words. This decision probably establishes the right to collect fares alsoin Alameda and Berkeley. —————— Prior to 1825 all women’s shoes were without heels. KEW TO-DAY.
