Last Wednesday the Democratic nominees for the Legislature sent the following communication to the Non-Partisans’ campaign committee: To the Chairman and Members of the Citizens' Non-Partisan Committee: The undersigned, after a conference had for that purpose, beg leave, in fairness to themselves and to you, to submit the following: ; . At the time of our nominations for S8enators and Assemblymen in the respective Senatorial and Assembly districts set out after our individual names, we were requested to sign a pledge that we would vote for the new charter in the Legislature, if the same was carried by the vote of San Francisco. After mature consideration we are all of the opinion that the pledge as signed was inadvisedly taken, and should be modified to the extent that Assemblymen and Senators, as to their votes in the Legislature, should be guided entirely by the vote of their constituents on the charter in their respective Senatorial and Assembly districts. The pledge as so modified is satisfactory to us. Without the modification we most respect- fully notify you that we cannot indorse it. Hoping that you may see the fairness and justness of our modification and that you may see your way clear to limit the original pledge in that regard, we have the honor to be, respect- fully, yours truly, SAMUEL BRAUNHART, Seventeenth Senatorial District. HUGO K. ASHER, Twenty-first Senatorial District. EUGENE F. LACY, Twenty-eighth Assembly District. JOHN ALLEN, Twenty-ninth Assembly District EUGENE J. HANNON, Thirtieth Assembly District. JAMES P. BRADY, Thirty-fitst Assembly District. JOHN POWER, Thirty-second Assembly District. GEORGE B. GODFREY, Thirty-third Assembly District. WILLIAM N. GATELY, Forty-fiith Assembly District. This led to a spirited discussion in political circles on the point as to whether a man or any number of men had a right to modify such a pledge without the consent of the person holding the pledge, and the public has evinced a desire to know just how the pledge was worded. Here is the docament as it appears of record in the office of the secretary of the Non-Partisan campaign committens: LEGISLATIVE PLEDGE. I hereby promise that if I am elected to the Legislature I will, by my vote and in_ fluence, endeavor to secure the adoption of the new charter in its entirety and without amendment by the Legislature. And I do also promise that I will, by my vote and influence, prevent the passage of any legislative enactment that shall in any manner impair the usefulness or destroy the efficiency of the present Australian ballot law or the so-called purity of election law. And I further pledge myself not to vote for any candidate for the United States Sen- ate who will not pledge himself to vote against any bill in the United States Senate having for its purpose the refunding of the indebtedness of the Pacific railways. Signed: SAMUEL BRAUNHART, Seventeenth Senatorial District. HUGO K. ASHER, Twenty-First Senatorial District. EUGENE F. LACY, Twenty-Eighth Assembly District. JOHN ALLEN, Twenty-Ninth Assembly District. EUGENE J. HANNON, Thirtieth Assembly District. JAMES P. BRADY, Thirty-First Assembly District. JOHN POWER, Thirty-Second Assembly District. GEORGE B. GODFREY, Thirty-Third Assembly District. WILLIAM N. GATELY, Forty-Fifth '‘Assembly District. Among Non-Partisans this effort of the Democratic legislative nominees to crawl out of a pled:e given in exchange for an indorsement was the subject of heated dis- cussion yesterday. George K. Fitch, chairman of the Non-Partisan campaign committee, was one of the iew members of the organization who did not seem to be perturbed on account of the unfortunate outcome of the committee’s attempt to bind the Democratic nominees to a support of the charter. “We as an organization have nothing further to offer in regard to the matter,” said Mr. Fitch. ‘‘We accepted the pledges in good faith and the incident was closed so far as we were concerned.” The philosophic view entertained by Mr. Fitch is not shared by many of his asso- ciates on the committee, however. According to the theory of the committee, as evinced by declining Yo consider the commurication from Samuel Braunhart and his associates, the pledge still remains in force as against these gentlemen, notwithstand- ing their attempt to sneak out of it. But this theory is merely nominal, and is not seriously accepted even by a majority of the members of tke campaign committee. By the rank and file of the Non-Partisan organization it 1s rejected and repudiated altogether, and as Mr. Braunhart and his associates in this thing have disgraced themselves the Non-Partisan voters will, of course, find it impossible to lend sup- port to such persons. Certain Kepublican nominees for the Legislature who were indorsed by the Non- Partisan party made application to be re-enforced by a supplemental indorsement or commendation, thinking that they were entitled to something of the kind in order to distinguish them from the persons who tried to go back on their words. In reply to this suggestion the Republicans were told: ‘“You don’t need that. You are all right. You haven’t made any mistake. The other fellows are the ones who ought to be hustling for additional indorsements.” Members of the Non-Partisan party point out that there wera three important subjects covered by the pledge signed by the legislative nominees who secured their indorsement. TItis held that the charter clause is of no greater importance than the clauses in regard to the Australian ballot law and the refunding of the railroad debt. 1f those Democratic nominees have grown 80 tender about pledging themselves on the charter question (after having seeured an indorsement that they greatly coveted) it is asked why they did not seek similar freedom for themselves in regard to the refunding bill and the ballot law. Gentlemen wao have good memories for political affairs say that this is but another dodge on the part of men who represent the old Nullification idea; such men as do not repard the binding quality of a promise; but who deem that their troth may be loosely or “inadvisedly” given. Such persons, not being confined to the strait and narrow path which gentlemen of honor pursue, think they may be per- mitted to play fast and loose with those who accept their pledges. Such persons assume that they have the privilege to “‘modify’” at will their solemn promises, and yet hope to go unscathed and unpunished, though they know full well that they deserve the contempt of all who despise low-down cunning and double-dealing in public affairs, B = THE P.

How He Regards the Situation in Three Important Counties. OF IMPORTANCE TO FARMERS The Reinstatement of the Former Tariff Will Be of Great Value to the State. Among the arrivals at the Grand Hotel yesterday was Senator Thomas Flint of San Juan., The Senator has lately been about a good deal in Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Benito counties. Having been renominated for State Senator, he hus had occasion to go over his district Kinley, would mean greatly increased prosperity down our way. “I do not see that lny:hin'g could well be more important to us than this. It certainly applies directly to the countjes 1 have mentioned. And 1n a general way, I must say I think protection to the other interests of the State, as comprehended in the McKinley bill, is of the first im- portance to all the people of the State. “Now, as to the majority McKinley ought to get, I will say that I place it at no less than about 5000. He ought to get that from the way things now Jook. I estimate this on the basis of the vote cast two years ago, and if things continue for the next two weeks as they are now go- ing.” gflnntor Flint is only making a brief stay here. WILL GET THEIR PAY. Auditor Broderiok Will Sign the War- rants of Many Munieipal Em- ployes To-Day. There were mauy happy hearts in the new City Hall yesterday when it became known that Auditor Broderick would sign the warrants of the clerks in the offices that were affected by the tenure of office decision of the Supreme Court. Mr. Broderick’s reason for signing the warrants is that the Supreme Court in its decision 1n the suit recently brought by the Election Commissioners ignored the question of salaries entirely, leaving the matter of signing the warrants in the hands of the Auditor. This move is expected to remove much of the opposition that the Auditor’s previ- ous course had created. —————— Mass-Meeting for Young Men. To-morrow aiternoon at 3 o’clock there will be & general mass-meeting in the Young Men’s Christian Association building, Mason and Ellis streets. Addresses will be made by C.C. SENATOR THOMAS FLINT of San Juan, Who Tells of the Campaign Where He Has Been. [Sketched from iife by a “Call” artist.] and also to visit some other parts of the State. Senator Flint believes that the outlook for Republican success this year in Cali- fornia is very good indeed. He thinks that the sober second thought of the voters has returned, if, in fact, the voters ever seriously thought of renouncing a party which has accomplished so much for the good of the people. He says, too, that as the campaign advances, so far as he has been able to judge, the enthusiasm for Major McKinley has grown constantly. The majority of the people believe, as he thinks, that with McKinley and his prin- ciples will come safety and solidity of business. The fagt that the people are seeing more and more that proteciion is invaluable to the interests of the State has caused the number of McKinley men to increase. I have not had much occasion to go and Michael Byrne were candidates for and twe sons survive him. Harbor View Club.

The club was named 'the P, M.

I do not think there will be much change in these coun- ties: the combined vote will be about the same. In my own county I antici- pate that the vote will be about the same as when Mr. Budd was elected two years ago. g'?n has been a pretty quiet campaign, generally speaking. There have been no county officers to elect, and that makes a great deal of difference in the local inter- est. Yet, as the campaien advances it is plain to see that the interest and enthu- siasm are growing steadily. “In my section of the State the people are emphatically in favor of protection, because we are large producers of sugar beets, We produce theseé in portions of Santa_Cruz, Monterey and San Benito counties, and they are a very important crop. Protection means a good deal to the farmers and everybody else in these counties. If you can show & man that rotection means an additional price of grty cents a ton for beets, itis an argu- ment that reaches him; ‘it has its effect, and he will be in favor of the protection thati protects him in the industry of beet~ raising. -*rn‘a former price for beets under the tariff and bounty was $4 50 to$5 a ton, and beets are now worth at the factory a ton. If a duty should be imposed equivalent to 2 cents a pound on sugar, it is expected that the price for beets will be restored. It is safe to say that my section of the country has by repeal of the McKin- ley bill lost “at least $200,000. That is a very im: nt sum, and if it had been distributed among our le it would have greatly aided in making times easy and money plentiful. The roma down there are seeing tbis and they want the McKinley tariff restored. They say that :Snuu do a great deal for that partof the 1 r. Bpreckels will crush, I su; , in that section 125,000 tons of beets ti year. 1If a factory be put in at Salinas, our peo- ple will raise as many more, 8o tl effect of a tariff, as voiced by Major Mc- at the | Michener of New York City, John L.

Town Talk, Ban Francisco’s up-to-date weekly, is deservedly popular, because it con- tains exactly what the best class of readers want—the topics of the current week handled in a reliable, forcible, crisp manner, inter- spersed with handsome illustrations. Town Talk is thoroughly independent and its edi- torial opinion is always expressed in the most fearless manner. In this week’s issue the clergy of all denominations who take politics into the pulpit are handled without gloves. The front cover is embellished with a hali-tone E‘.’“““ of Miss Elizabeth Carroll, a society 1le, from a phbtogl‘n’ph taken for Town Talk. “‘Editorial Aftermath’” discusses in no uncer- tain terms the decision of the Suprem= Court in upholding the recent action of the Repub- lican Secretary of State.

WAR ON JUDGE HEBBARD People’s Home Bank Depositors Begin a Bitter Fight Against Him. ~ E'even Thoussnd of Them Will Re- taliate for His Appointment of G neral Sheehan. The depositors of the People’s Home Bavings Bank have determined to make an organized fight against Judge Hebbard, the Non-Partisan nominee for Superior Judge. They have been working toward this end for some time past, and are now fully decided on the course of action to be pursued in their campaign against the Judge, which is to be opened at once all over the City and wherever a nucleus of the unfortunate depositors exists. This fight 13 first of ail to assume definite shape in the nature of an appeal to the voters of San Francisco setting forth the misfortunes of the People’s Bank depositors and their attitude toward the institation. The appeal has alread been written and is now in the printer’s bands. So within a few days it may be expected that it will be spread broadcast tbrougnout San Francisco. The executive committee of the de- positors has charge of the work of pub- lishing and distributing the appeal in cir- cular form. As there are about 11,000 de- positors in all, and each one will be given an opportunity to constitute himself a committee of one to further distribute the appeal, it is believed by the executive committee that this battle will assume immense proportions. Judge Hebbard appointed General Sheehan receiver of the bank about May 1,1894. The appointment was made in an action brought by the people of Cali- fornia upon the relation of Attorney- General Hart against the bank, but it was subsequently held by the Supreme Court that the appointment was in excess of the jurisdiction of the court and was void, Shortly after the appointment- was made another suit was begun, that of Nathan Goldtree versus the directors and stock- holders of the bank. This suit was based on averments of fraudulent conduct on the part of the former directors, and Gen- eral Sheehan was appointed receiver by Hebbard in this suit also. 8heehan continued to act as receiver under those appointments until January, 1895, when the receivership proceedings were nullified by the Supreme Court. So there was never any valid or legal re- ceivership of the bank. What has most of all aroused the indignation of the deposit- ors is that they believe between $42,000 and $43,000 was sauandered by the manage- ment during the term of receivership. The executive committee maintains that the appointment of Sheehan was essen- tially a political one, because he knew nothing of banks and banking and still less of handling bonds, securities and the tinances of a banking institution. Actin, under this conviction they have prepare to wage a vigorous war against Judge Hebbard. Association Day in the Churches.
