( —.. THE SAN FRANCISGO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1896. PHENIX BOYS - RALLY IN FORCE A Gala Night of Greeting to Distinguished Gentlemen. Talks by Ex-Senator Felton, Con- gressman Loud and Hoa. T. B. O'Brien. THE DANGER TO THE NATION Mr. Loud Called Attenticn to the Safety of the People’s Moaey Now in the Banks. The meeting of the Pheenix Republican Club in Scottish Hall last night wasan affair more than ordinarily enjoyable. Sylvester Shaben presided, introducing such distinguished gentlemen as ex-Sena- tor Felton, Congressman Loud and Thomas B. O'Brien. Messrs. Loud ana O'Brien and Judge H. | L. Joachimsen occupied the platform. Charles Ward enlivened the occasion with & piano soio. the proceedings were interrupted by the entrance of the Thirty-first and Twenty- third District Republican clubs, with fife and drum and transparencies, the mem- bers carrying American flags. Their ar- rival was greeted with enthusiastic cheers, and cheers were proposed ana given for Candidates Sullivan and Welch for the Senate, and for Congressman Loud, Hon. T. B. O'Brien and Judges Treadwell and Joachimsen, and George W. Elder, candi- date for Street Superintendent.’ Messrs. Gallagher ana Barrett sang a comic song laudatory of the Republican candidates, which was encored, and in re- sponse they sang *“‘Ryan and O’Brien.” Congressman Loud was introduced by Chairman Shaben with a few well-timed and eulogistic plrases. Mr. Loud began by saying that the Pheemix Club had been heard of and its influence had been felt by the whole State. He complimented the yonng Republicans of the club for their loyalty and enthusiasm in the cause. When at the outset of the campaign he had been told that very many. had left the ranks of the Republican party, and whea ced where they were, and the reply given that they were not in the City, somewhere back of the hills, from that but day to this he had been going iarther and farther along in search of those Repub- licans who were saia to haye left the ran but he had not succeeded in finding them He then proceeded to speak on the sub- ject of the demonetization of silver, and remarked that it was a strange coinci- nce that for nineteen vyears a.ter passaze of that act the coun- y had enjoved a prosperty never be- fore known 1n 1is history, aud that twenty- three years afterward, just when the Dem- ocracy was g8ing out of power, it shounld | be discovered that the demonetization of silver was responsible for the present aistress under the operation of the Wilson uct, Mr. Loud denied that this Nation ever wason a bimetallie basis, and contended that as soon as there was a deviation of even the fraction of a cent in the value of one of the metals the parity would cease and one of the metals would dissapear from circulation. He asseried also that the opening of the minis to the free coin- age of the silver of the world would cut the circulation in balf by driving every dollar of gold out of the country. The speaker said that he was not an alarmist, but he would predict ‘hat as soon as the Democratic party gets into power, if that time shou!d ever come, every buginess insutution in the Nation would bé closed. Take out of circulation the $600,000,000 of g upon which rests its paper mouey and its siiver and every | the United States would close | bank in within twenty-four hours. He had heard people damn the banks and the bangers, but they aid not reflect that 146,000 people in the State of California had $144,000,000 in the banks of this State, and those peopie were entitled to every dollar of those deposits in as good money as they put in. M essity of electing # Re- d States ate. As earers the nec publican to the Uni matters now stood there was a Populistic- Demoyratic free-silver Senate, and the loss of California fr the Repbulican ranks woula be a serio of this Union. The iate of the leaders ot the French revolution whose heads rolled under the guiliotine at the whim of the mob which they had placed in power was recalled by Mr. Loud, who made their fate apply to the demagogues of the Democratic and People’s parties. After Mr. Loud’s address Mesars. Galla- gher und Barrett favored the audience with a song and an Irish jig. Ex-Senator Charles L. Felton was the next speaker. He told about his first meeting with Congressman Loud five or six years ago. He saw at once that Mr. Loud had that rare quality, the courage of his convictions, and that he was one of those men who, when they found what was the right, had the nerve to proclaim it and stand up for it. Because of Mr. Loud’s ability and the impression he had made upon the other members of Con- gress he had been appointed chairman of the second most important committee in Congress. Mr. Feiton advised the people to return Mr. Loud to Congress and they would have a representative of whom they need not feel ashamed. He himself wanted to feel when he visited the National Capitol ihat it would not be necessary to bow his head in humiliation because of the in- efficiency of some representatives whom this people had sent to Congress. Mr. Felton explained that his ambition was satisfied and that he was not seeking any office. All that he wanied was the prosperity of the country and the happi- hess of the American people. He believed that theare was nothing so forcible as truth, nothing so wise as common hon- esty. Thomas B. O’'Brien, the next speaker, was received with & round of the most flattering applause. He compiimented the majoricy of his hearers on being American-born boys, the most of them being native sons of the Golden West. He spoke of his ambitian to represent the Fourth District in Congress, a district which he said was being misrepresented by the incumbent, who was an idolator of the foreign English policy of free trade. He asked which policy was it that had made this Nation the grandest that the sun ever shone upon, the Republican pol- icy of protection or the Democratic policy of free trade? He remembered the hu- miliating spectacle of the Industrial army 1wo years ago walking the streets poorly clad ‘and starving. SiX years ago in this City 37,000 people were emploved in eighty-nine industries; to-day there are only 16,000 people employed 1n this City. The snnual output six years ago of San Francisco was $120000,000, and it has awindled down to $47,000,000. £ This deplorable state of affairs, the speaker contended, had been - brought about by the destrvctive Democratic policy of a tariff for revenue only. His Demo- cratic opponent had said on calamity to the people Before he had finished | Loud impressed upon the minds of | the floor of | Congress that if he had his way every custom-house in the country would be converted into a sanitarium for sailors. Yet those same &ustom-houses had col- lected $141,000,000 of revenue during the past four years. He did not believe that the people of the district were prepared to indorse the policy of Cobdenism, but if sent to Congress he would be almost a prohibitionist in keeping out foreign prod- uets, Attention was catled to the fact that there was not in the Democratic platform one word on the subject of the Nicaragua canal, while the Republican p'atform pledged all its nominees to the completion of that enterprise. The threatened invasion by Japanese laborers was the next subject taken up by the speaker. Mr. O'Brien was warmly applauded during his remarks. He was followed in brie! speeches by Chairman Shaben, M. J. Welch (candidaie for the Senate from the Twenty-third District) and T. J. Sullivan (Senatorial candidate from the Thirty- tirst District). s Che meeting adjourned with cheers for the ticket and McKinle, LAUREL CLUB. A List of Candidates Indorsed By It Last N.ght.

A drill corps from the Thirty-fifth District, under Cap- { tain Buron Kelly, marched to the hall 60 | strong and attracted much attention. Colonel Taylor was present at the meet- | ing and made a rattling speech, outlining a number of reforms which -were very greatly to be desired in the conductand management of City affairs.

Public School Employes Would Have a Hard Time Get- ting Back. MR, DIMOND ON MR. PHELAN. Compliments From One Democrat to Another—Anti-Charter Meeting at the Temple. A rousing meeting of enthusiastic Anti- Charter Democrats was held at Metropol- itan Temple last night. | W.G. Burke, Anti-charter Democratic nominee for Judge of the Superior Court, called the meeting to order, with what a football reporter would call a ‘“snappy play,” for he at once deciared that the | people had come together for the purpose | of denouncing the proposed new charter | of San Francisco, as not oniy un-Demo- | eratic, but also un-American. “l have the honor of presenting to you a champion of the people, the Hon. Patrick Reddy,” said Mr. Burke, and Mr. Reddy received an en- thusiastic x;ound of applause as he stepped to the front of the rostrum. Mr. Reddy said he appeared from a sense of duty, for he, as well as the other gentlemen who stood on that platform the evening previous, had a desire to serve the City of San Francisco. He said that it would be a matter of physical impossi- bility to point out all the wrongful, | vicious and monstrous provisions of the proposed charter. One point that Mr. Reddy wished to notice first, and that was a suggestion made by Mr. Ciement in the newspapers, which was to the effect that the tendency of modern times is to concentrate power. This Mr. Reddy denied. Hesaid that that idea of centralization of power is as old as the absolute mon- archies of the past, under which so many wrongs were perpetrated. The modern tendency is for a true democracy, a true republican form of government. Mr. Reddy said: But we have been informed that Mr. Phelan, the gentleman who aspires to be chosen Mayor on the other ticket, has been abroad where he has studied the methods of municipal govern- ments that obtain in Europe in order to put them in force here. In reply tothat I say thatthis is America and we need American, not European methods here. [Applause.] Other people have been in Europe. | [Laughter.] [ doubt not the gentleman’s | parents were in Europe at some time in_their | lives. [Renewed laughter.] My parents lived in Europe themseives, but they got 0 poor that they had to come to this country, just as | 1 have heard that the parentsof Mr. Phelan | came here, and irom all accounts they have doue pretty weil. [Laughter and applause.] | Why, if reports be true, they got rich eveu { under the bad old consoliuation act, and from | all we heur that wealth is still increasing. | It is of record that Mr. Phelan, when eiected to the National convention on a silver plat- form, gave his proxy toan avowed goldbug, | who voted gold, gold, goid, morning, noon | aud night, without receiving any reproof irom | Mr. Phelan. * That's why I say that I thiak Mr. Phelan looks like a goldbug crawling across a silver platter. Mr. Reddy said the teachers had called | Mr. Phelan’s attention to that obnoxious | clause concerning them, and then all at jonce Mr. Phelan and his lawyer discov- | red that this clause is unconstitntional. { But if the charter be adopted :he teachers | will be confronted with that provision. In conclusion permit to state that the Young Men's Christian Association stands as a posi- | tive force for complete manhood, both in body It is one of the great moral forces at work reclaiming the manhood in the youth of the world. | But he said that this was not the worst | danger that confronts the teachers; that, | as a matter of fact, all of the teachers in | the public schools on the adoption of the | charter will lose their places, and that if | they want to get back they must apply to | the boards and beads of departments that are to be appointed by the Mavor. In fact, every City and County officer now in office, or who may be in oflice at the time of the adoption of the charter, will be thrown out. In proof of this he read | section 26 of article XIV oithe proposed charter. If teachers want to serve in our public schools they must all stand com- petitive examination, and unless they were educated exclusively under the pub- lic school system of California they cannct be granted certificates, no matter how high their qualifigations. This provision, | he said, was insefted at the behest of the | A.P. A, { The teachers and others have been de- ceived by the promise of the inauguration | of the civil service plan in the municipal service. That civil service rule will apply | only to those who are to be appointed by the Mayor and his appointees, for all now in the employ of the City will go out. Mr. Reddy said be knew the risk he was running if this view of the law is not true, but he measured his words and believed that he was corrsct in this interpretation. He said the Mayor would be the only ot- ficer elected. The others would be ap- pointed. Mr. Reddy made sport of the fright that scemed to have seized on Mr. Phelan when he thougnt of the danger of a nomi- nation by the “Blind White Devil,”” with which at one time he seemed to be threatened. The spe:ker said that if the charter be adopted the Supervisors may prohibit any kind of processions, whether legal or oth- wise. Then if people get poor and seek to right their wrongs by public demonstra- tions they may be prohibited from annoy- ing the Phelans and other rich men by their outcries. “It will never get there!”” **We'll knock it out!” “It’s a gone goose!” and such ex- Knfisions were shouted from parts of the all. Mr. Reddy denounced the synopsis which bas been put forth by the friends of the charter. He said it is a lying synop- sis; that it is false and fraudulent in many particulars. Joseph I Dimond, nominee for Mayor on the Anti-Charter Democratic ticket was introduced and his popularity was at- tested by the spontaneous reception of the audience. It was some time before the applause subsided so that he could pro- ceed. He said: " 1will not make you a speech to-nf will simply report e reaultof the an;"’."&g:lx' in the field. Ihave been out among the pao- ple—the common, every-day people—for the pust ten_hours. I have traveled from the Po- trero to Lone Mouniain, from the Mission to the bay, and everywhere 1 have found that the real manhood of the City has been aroused in osition to the charter. 'he men who work are alive to the threat- elllllod‘ ilnvlliln‘li\ of (hel: f(’,‘hh‘.. Tl:fy will kill this infernal document. [Cheers an. With erics of “You bet we will. ] P Ruses Whatever view you may take of the candi- dacy of any man on our ticket or any other, that is a matter of minor consideration so long as you set the seal of condemnation on that document. [Appisuse and cries of ‘‘We'll stand by you, oid manl”] The gentleman who has prociaimed himself as my opponent, though I regard him more as the opponent of the interests of this fair City, made a speech in this hail last night, and in reading a report of it I was surp) 10 notice that it was so mild, not to suy weak. [Laugh- el | About the only point on which he seemed to lay any stress was that he had been assured that the clause relating to school teachers is unconstitutional and that if he did not believe it to be unconstitutional he would vote against the charter himself. Now in all frankness let me ask you and the other fair-minded voters of San Francisco what is to be thought of & man who will ad- Vise his fellow-citizens to go to the polls on the 8d of next month and vote for a charter which he hiwself declares is in violation of the constitution of the State of California. [Laughter.] Do you think he would be a sate man to manage our municipal affairs, either under the new charter or the poor old_consoi- idun?n act? [Applause and cries of ‘“Nol” “Nol"" Then, do you have any idea thathe will be chosen by the good pegple of San Francisco to serve as Mayor for the(next two years? [More lpy‘flnune and cries of “Not muchl!” “He hn’t‘ in 13 ete.] Just as the cheering was about to sub- side a man standing on a seat in the rear of the hall roared out “Nit!” and amid the universal roar of the audience Mr. Dimond waved his hand majestically to the people and took his seat. The meeting adjourned with a vote of thanks to Mr. Reddy and three cheers for Mr. Dimond PHELAN AND THE CHARTER He Says He Has Favored It Openly and That He Favors It Still. James D. Phelan spoke at a meeting in Mowry's Hall last evening, following re- marks by Dr. Razan and National Com- mitteeman Dwyer. Mr. Phelan said that be advocated the adoption of the proposed new charter before he was nominated for Mayor, and that he was still quietly in favor of it, but could not openly favor it because it would seem as if he was seeking more power as Mayor in case be should be elected. He did not know but that he was saying too much, but he did not want any one to be deceived con- cerning his position in this matter. He also said that there was but one Demo- cratic party in this City and the other wing was only a nondescript. There were several other speakers, the first of whom was Joseph P. Kelly, can- didate for Congres+. The meeting took on the form of a Democratic ratification meeting. YOUNG MEN I8 COUACIL, The Sixteenth Annual State Cenvention of the Y M.C A The S ssion Opened Last Evening at the Association Audi- torium. Delegates to the sixteenth annual State Convention of the Young Men’s Christian Association of California arrived in large numbers yesterday afternoon and an in- formal reception was held in the spacious parlors of the new homeof the association at 6 o’clock. Mr. McCoy, assisted by a | large corps of young men from the lncal | association, received the guests and at6:30 | o’clock all sat down to a repast in the din- | ing-hall onsthe fifth floor of the building. After ample justice had been done to the edibles about an hour was indulged in reminiscences of past association days, re- marks were make by visiting delegates, local clergymen and officers of the San | Francisco association. : Promptly at 8 o’clock all repaired to the | handsome auditorium of the building, | where numerous iriends were in waiting for the delegates proper, seats being re- served in the center of the hall for the representatives of associations out of the | City. After a brief praise service, H. J. | McCoy, ganeral secretary of the local as- sociation and president of the State Asso- ciation for the past year, called the con- vention to order. After some preliminary business, Rev. Charles R. Brown, the new | pastor of the First Congregational Church of Oakland, was introduced, and delivered an address. In part he spoke as follows: As a rule the work of young men is monoto- nous. They are simply a part of a great ma- chine. They do not makea shoe, but only a MR, BOUTELLE WILL COME HERE The Statesman From Maine to Speak in Cali- fornia. * One of the Most Noted Authori- ties on the Financial . Issue. REED OF MAINE MAY COM Good Work by the Republican State Central Committee—Literature in All Tengues. The Republican State Central Commit- tee has secured the services of Congress- man Boutelle of Maine for several speeches in this State during the present campaign. Mr. Boutelle will speak in the Auditorium Tuesday night. corner of Jones and Eddy streets, under the auspices of the commit- tee. The standing rule of going there early in order to be assured of standing-room will, on this occasion, be more imperative than ever. Ladies and their escorts will have access to the galleries as usual. Congressman Boutelle is & prominent figare in National politics, ana as an au- toority on finance stands second only to John Sherman, but he will be remembered best by his course in Congress with refer- ence to Hawaiian affairs. He will speak in Sacramento on Wednes- day and in Los Angeles on Saturday of | next week. Major McLaughlin, chairman, and M. R. Higgins, secretary, of the Republican State Central Committee, have been in correspondence for several weeks past with Thomas B. Reed of Maine with the view of having him speak in California. A telegram was received from Mr. Reed vesterday morning to the effect that he was uncertain whether he could come or not, but that he would give a definite an- swer to the commit tee in a day or two. The committee is more rushea with work than ever. There are no cobwebs in the State Central Committee’s headquar- ters in the Palace Hotel. Several stenog- raphers and typewriters are kept busy every day in replying to the voluminous mass of correspondence handled by the committee. In the entreso! on the floor below a large force of clerks is working full time in mailing campaign literature. It is surprising to learn what a great inquiry there is from all parts of the State for this literature. The favorites seem to be the speech of Hon. W. Bourke Cockran at Madison-square garden in reply to Mr. Bryan’s Casabianca speech; the specch of John Sherman on August 15, 1856, on the monetary history of the covntry; Major McKinley's letter of acceptance; speech of John G. Carlisle before the workingmen | of Chicago August 15, 1896; J. T. Mec- | Cleary of Minnesota on silver and gold, wages and prices; speech of James G. Blaine of Mane in the Senate of the ! United States February 7, 1878, against free coinage at 16 to 1; an article from Street Railway Review August, 1896, en- titled **What Free Coinage of Silver Means to Street Railways and Street-railway Em- ployes,’” and several other selections bear- ing upon the financial and protection issues. Most of the speeches have been trans- lated into a half dozen modern languages, and there are several pamphlets on special topics addressed to naturalized citizens and printed in the languages of the coun- tries from which they hail. Among some part of it. 1f they work in a large store it is | of the titles are: ‘*Bryan Contro Gli Itali- not to sell all that the store carries, but some special articles as suspenders or neckties. So you see that the young man of the present | dey is only & cog in the wheel. His chance to | rise is very uncertain. In socinl life he has very small chance to get into the society of those whose culture will be abenefit. I mean by this, not that he cannot find companions of good principles, but that his vocation deFrh‘ex him of such company in general as will tend to 1ift him to & higher mental, and, in some cases, moral sphere. The young man of whom I have been dis- coursing is he who is city bred, and that fact leads me to mention his facilities for going wrong. In the country a young man is gen- erally heid pretty well in the course of recti- tude by the force of public opinion. He is known by everybodv. But in a large city he is not so well known, and can do wrong without many, perhaps, being aware of it. The tempta- tions are vastly sironger. To these baneful influences the Young Men’s Cnristian Association is an offset. It gives him employment in his leisure hours, both men- tally and physically, His mind is enriched with the kind of knowledge that will give him hifher ideals. His muscles, imperfectly de- veloped by one kind of work, are made sym- metrical by proper gymnastic applisuces. The young man of the present day is lament- ably ignorant as regards questions of political economy. How many or them have even an elementary understanding of the currency question, for example? 1n this particular of late the association has done much work. Debates have been alternated with adaresses by learnea lecturers and much good hssre- sulted. The following programme will be the or- der for the next three days: This morning at 9 o'clock Bible study, con- ducted by Rev. Dr. Chapman of Oakland; 9:30, organization of the convention Teports from_associations; 10:30, “The_Association Membership Privileges and Their Limitation,” paper by Grove F. kins, general secre- tary Sacramento association; aper on “The Financial Relationship and Extension,” by N.

The majority of the inguirers ask for pamphlets on protection, and this fact is regarded as a good omen as indicating that the people in the interior have re- covered from the glamour of free silver and are seeking for light on an issue that airectly affects them. Enthusiastic Republicans from the country pay a visit to the State Central Committee rooms before they go any- where else to report the change in senti- ment that has taken place since the open- ing of the campaign, and which is now continuing in intensity. They tell also of the large number of old-line Democrats who have come out from under the an- archistic Chicago platiorm, and who say they propose to vote for McKinley and protection. Major McLaughlin and Colonel Higgins are worked like drayhorses, and they do not receive a dollar’s remuneration for it, but they feel cheered and forget their fa- tigue when they hear the flattering reports of Republican gains coming from all parts of the State in person and by letter. Registrar Hinton rested in peace yes- terday after the arduous work of the past few weeks. All the tickets had been filed on the day before, and no protests had come before him yesterday, so that he was happy. No mame, even to fill a vacancy, can be put on the ballot now, and no candidate can withdraw after the 19th, next Monday. NON-PARTISAN FINANCES. Nominees Determine to Pay for Publishing Thelr Ticket. The Non-Partisans are in straits over the all-important matter of finances to conduct the campaign in favor of the men they recently ‘placed in nomination for municipal offices. How fo get the nomi- nees to contribute without in any. way cenflicting with the purity-of-election law is a question that was considered at a meeting held last evening. J. D. Phelan nnnidefi at this gathering of candidates. The chairman announced that the scheme devised was to raise contributions among the nominees to meet the expenses of publishing the Non-Partisan ticket in the daily papers and to send out 70,000 copies of the ticket to voters. It was de- cided not to hold any public meetings.
