THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1896. (WAH DECLARED L AGAINST CATOR Populists of California Are Moving for the Boss’ Overthrow. Concerted Onslaught to This End Will Be Made Over the State To-Day. SCORE HIM AS A RENEGADE. Middle-of-the-Roadsters Refuse to Be Longer Considered as His Chattels. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct. 18.—One of the most determined fights ever made against the aspirations of a renegade poli- tician and perennial office-seeker will open all over this State to-morrow. It is the struzgle against the selfish ambition of Thomas V. Cator, late of New Jersey and a former Republican, Democrat, Nation- alist ana Populist in turn, for revenue only or the spoils of office. This fight will e made upon. Cator by the Populists {hemselves, who know him most inti- mately and who have the best of reasons for distrusting him. The people who will lead in the contest are the bone and sinew of the Populist party in this State. These sturdy fathers of ibe party in California say they do not propose to sit idly by while their principles are spurned and the offices peddled out by Cator and Wardall for selfish ends. Correspondence has been carried on among the opponents of .Cator and War- dall for weeks and a plan for concerted ac- tion against them has been agreed upon. This will include an expose of Cator’s New Jersey record, which James G. Ma- guire first gave to the people of California in a speech delivered at Metropolitan Temple, San Francisco, in the autumn of 1892. Next will follow the exposure of Cator and Wardall’s packing of the late Siate convention of Populists and their rushing through under gag rule a resolu- tion indorsing the former for the United States Senate. This bit of fine work, as is well known among the leading Populists of the State, was accomplished by the barter-and-trade element of the party and in opposition to the will of the ablest and best men of the party all over California. Chairman Wardall of the State Central Committee will share the odium of Cator in this job. After this the combine and conspiracy between Cator and Senator White to dominate two sessions of the California Legislature for their own purpose will be exposed. The middie-of-the-roadsters will see to it that Populistic and Democratic candidates for the dtate Senate and As- sembly are thoroughly informed regard- ing the mercenary motives of these gen- tlemen. Cator and White 1 both be put on the defensive, and it is confidently predicted here that neither of these gen- tlemen will ever seriously disturb the poli- ties of California afier this campaign is ended, for the inevitable defeet of Cator at the coming session of the Legislature means the permanent retirement of White two years hence. The plans have been deliberately made, the die is cast and the concentrated on- slaught will be begun at once. Cator, the renegade, is to be retired forever in Cali- fornia. BIG RALLY AT SUISUN. George A. Knight of San Francisco the Speaker—Parade of Flam- beau Clubs. SUISUN DEPOT, CaL., Oct. 18.—One of the largest and most enthusiastic political demonstrations ever held in BSuisun was tnat of last evening. Hon. George A. Knight of San Francisco was the principal speaker. People came from every town 1n Solano County to hear his address. He was met at the depot by the Suisun Mec- Kinley and Hobart Club. A line of march was formed, the local brass band heading the torchlight procession. The speaker and the' county candidates were escorted to the Arlington Hotel, where they dined. ‘While Mr. Knight and party were atthe hotel the procession continued to march to Fairfield, where the Cordelia McKinley Club, 100 strong, with the b: band from that town, was met. The Fairfield Repub- licans formed in line and marched back to Suisun. The meeting in Native Sons’ Hall was called to_order by Attorney O. R. Cogh- lan, president of the Suisun McKinley Club, who briefly addressed the audience, Following a song by the Benicia male uartet, the Republican nominees, J. J. uchsinger of Vallejo and Alden Ander- son, for State Senator and Assemblyman respectively, made short speeches. Then the chairman in a eulogistic speech intro- duced Mr. Knight. The eloguent orator kept the audience spellbouna for three hours, never tiring his listeners. Although the large hall was packed almost to suffocation exception- ally good order prevailed to the end. Foi- lowing Mr. Knight's speech Rev. Anna H, Shaw svoke in the interest of woman suf- frage. Conspicuous among those who served as vice-presidents was H. C. Bronson of Sui- sun Valley, w! .0, some time ago, had an- nounced bimself as a Bryan mar. Mr, Bronson, who has farmed here for up- ward of forty years, had been a lifelong Republican, &nd when it was found that the Democrats had grounds for ciaiming him as a member of their ranks great was the surprise. Although the gentleman possesses more than the average intelli- gence, like many other Republicans who at first were deceived by the supposed ad- vantages of free coinage, he leit the old party. The recent decline in the market velue of silver and the rapid rise in the price of wheat, refuting one of Bryan's principal contentions, brought him back. e DEBATE AT MADERA. Frank H. Short and J. W. Mitchell Argue on Political Issues. MADERA, CaAL, Oct. 18.—Frank H. Short was some time ago announced to speak here yesterday on dehalf of the Re- publicans. Later J. W. Mitchell of Los Angeles was announced to speak on be- balf of the Democrats and Populists. The only sufficiently large hall in town was rented by the Republicans and Mr. Mitch- il was apparently to be comvelled to eak outside. When it was suggested 1at a jont discyssion be held in the hall r. 8hort readily consented to divide the time with Mr. Mitchell. Last night tbe hall was packed to ths doors and many could not gain admission. Mr. Short opened for forty-five minutes with a strong and vigorous speech for pro- tection. He reviewed the utter failure and incapacity of the Democratic party, as proved by experience, and attention to the necessities of California and the benefits of protection. In his re- ply Mr. Mitchell talked for silver exclu- sively, referring repeatedly to Republican authority to sustain his free-coinage argu- ments. But he did not attempt to defend free trade or the results of the past admin- istration. Mr. Bnort closed in an effective review of thirty minutes and _apuuled to the reason, experience and judgment of his andience. The silver sentiment here was very strong early in the campaign, but the 13sue of protection is the most prominent now and many Democrats will vote for McKinly. b e S SANTA CEUZ ENTHUSIASM, Faid special Chieers for McKinley and Hobart Resound on the Sabbath. SANTA CRUZ, CaL., Oct. 18.—General Barnes and the Republican Alliance of Oakland held a reception thisafternoon at the Ocean House.

At 8:30 o’clock preparations were begun for the return to San Francisco. The Alliance band preceded the men of that peerless organization, and both sides of l’ucxfic avenue were crowded with an en- thusiasiic concourse. Three times three cheers were given for McKinley and Ho- bart, with the war whoop of the Alliance, and’ the procession moved toward the depot. Two stops were made, one oppo- site the Cavry building to give three ring- ing cheers for THE CALL, and the other at Major McLaughiin’s residence, where the boys of the Alliance awoke the echoes of Beach Hill with their cheers for the gal- lant major.

Klauffer & Coblitz’s store was entered at 9 o’clock by the stranger. Mr. Coblitz was in the store alone, and when he looked up as the door opened he was confronted by a pistol in the hands of a man whose en- tire face was concealed by a white muslin musk, > BThe robber was about 5 feet 8 inches in beight, cf stout build and dressed in a blue duck jumper worn over dark trousers, with black slouch het on his head.

Norton, who has just returned from a meeting of the Central Lumber Com- pany at San Krancisco, saw Colonel W. W. Likens early last week on a street at the bay metropolis. Norton was riding on a streetcar when Likens walked by twenty feet away. He was well dressed and smiling. Likens' dropped out of sight nearly two weeks ago. He was being pressed for money by several creditors, and on his de- parture was accused of various question- able dealings. He had served four years in a Colorado venitentiary for forgery and is alleged to have been disbarred by the Superior Court at Placerville, Cal., in 1879, for changing a mortgage after it was recorded. The bill of sale found on the desk here, conveying his belongings to F. O. Chezum, to whom we was indebted, will be contested. Presi- dent Caesar of the Metropolitan Bank has brought an attachment suit to recover over $200 tent, and D. 8. Johnston has sued to recover possession of a piano Likens had not paid for. It is thought likely that Likens has gone to Mexico or Austral A Santa Cruz Fair Ended.

In speaking of the treatment accorded visiting riflemen, P. Jacoby of San Francisco said: “In behalf of my delegation I must say that in all of our long years of experience on the range we have never met with such a royal reception before, nor have we ever been called upon to compete for such a list of valuable and handsome prizes. They are beyond doubt the best ever of- fered at any tournament which has been held on the coast. This 1s the first public rifle match, open to all, which bas been held in Sacramento in eighteen years. I afténded the last one, as did my conireres, Messrs. Ehrenpfort and Strecker, and dur- ing all the eighteen years past we have all longed to come again to this city and com- pete with our generous hosts. Just eight- een years ago W. H. Eckhardt of Sacra- mento won the gold medal he wears to- day, defeating us all; but to-day luck has | changed and_Schuster of San Francisco has carried off that honor.” t SR COURSING AT SACRAMENTO.

Passes Peacefully Away After an Illness of Ten Months. CAME TO THE STATE IN 1850 Abandoned a Search for Gold to Be- come a Democratlc Leader in Politics. SACRAMENTO, Car., Oct. 18.—Dana W. Perkins, State librarian, calmly and peacefully sank into his final rest at 11:45| o'clock this morning. Dana W. Perkins, pioneer, was a typical Californian—open-handed, hospitable and generous to a fanlt. He was born in Jef- ferson, New Hampshire, on the 27th day of February, 1831, coming to the coast in 1850. Upon his arrival he engaged in min- ing on the headwaters of the American River, and encountered all the hardships and privations, successes and disappoint- ments incident to the early gold seeker. Eventually he abandoned the search for gold and established a hotel at Pine Grove, and during the early history of the State became interested in politics and was ulti- mately known as one of the leaders in Democratic politics throughout the length and breadth of the State. He held the position of Tax Collector of Placer County for two terms and was ser- geant-at-arms of the Assembly for several years, He then entered the employ of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, and was connected with the land department of that corporation for years. In 1890 Mr. Perkins was appointed State Librarian, and after serving in thatca- pacity for four years was reappointed for asecond term. Ou the 8th of last Decem- ber he was stricken with paralysis in San Francisco, and was shortly afterward re- moved to his residence in this city, where he had since been confined to his bed al- most continually. For years before the fatal stroke of paralysis made him a hopeless invalid, Mr. Perkins was a very active Mason and attained high degrees in that fraternity, but shortly after the attack he joined the Catholic church and the rites of the faith were administered to him. Up to a late hour last night he was sensible and ap- parently recognized that the end was ap- proaching, but evinced no fear or uneasi- ness. Heis survived by a widow and two sons, N. Dana Perkins, at vresent Assistant State Librarian, and William Perkins of Los Angeles. The funeral will take place at 2 o’clock on Tuesday. Rumor has it that Dr. Matthews will probably be appointed to fill the unexpired term of State Librarian. — MONEY FOR HOPE HALL. Mrs. Booth Reeorives Liberal Contribu~ tions for the Charity. SACRAMENTO, CaL, Oct. 18.—Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth, commandrr of the prison branch of the American Volun- teers, addressed an immense audience at the Congregational church in this city this evening. Her descriptions of methcds gursned to reclaim prisoners and of the omes founded for discharged convicts were at times dramatic, and her magnet- is':}:Luanght her audience and bent it to her wi The object of the meeting was to procure contributions toward furnishing ‘“Hope Hall,” the San Francisco home for ex- convicts, and so earnestly did Mrs. Booth plead the cause of charity that over $400 was received.

SACRAMENTO, Car., Oct. 18.—John Carr, in the employ of Joseph Hahn, a druggist, was found dead to-day behind the prescription desk when the proprietor entered the store.

COLUMBIA RIVER MONSTER. Fisherman Stortled by the Appearance of a Hideous Reptile in the Water. PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 18.—Dominick Bule, a pioneer and very reliable salmon- fisherman at Cliiton, Clatsop County, re- ported in Portland this morning that yes- terday, while he was out in the middle of the Columbia River in his boat, just about dusk, he sawan immense living object sud- denly arise out of the water not twenty feet away from him. It had a head like thatof a horse, covered with long bair, and its tusks, four in number, were at least a foot long. It stood out of the water about four feet and remained stationary, as he thought, about two minutes, its large eyes glaring fiercely at him. - Bule was so terrified that he was almost paralyzed. He stopped rowing and gazed at the object. He was not arm and even had he had a gatling-gun he was_too frightened to have used it. Suddenly the stranger opened its immense mouth and gnve vent o a roar like that of a maa- dened bull. Then it began lashing the water, and Bule could see that it was about, as he estimated, twenty-five feet in length. So vigorous were its motions that great waves were created, and Bule’s boat came near upsetting. Finally the monster dove and disappeared from sight. gAs honest as Bule is known to be, his story was regarded as a fabrication until to-night, when it was confirmed by Frank Bolton, Henry Schmeer, Wiltiam™ Farrell and John Bost, all fishermen. They were out in a boat early this morning, when the monster came to the surface and acted recisely in the same manner as when ule saw it. . It did not attempt to molest theoccupants of the boat, but when it dis- appeared in the water they got to land as quickly as possibie. For the next few days a larze party of fishermen on & big raft will watch for the sea serpent, or whatever it may be, to kill it by shooting if possibl il Wants a Fancou Prisoner. VANCOUVER. B.

He was one of the victims. On arriving at Circle City Urquhart wisely gave the greater portion of his dust to a friend who was coming out ahead of him. Reserving $590 with which to ‘‘see the town’” hestarted out. A fellow named Al Lester, who runs a notorious joint off the main street, “'saw him coming.” This was 4o'clock in the afterncon, and at 11 o’clock the next morning, when he came out of his trance, his sack was gone, De- manding of Lester to know where it was that worthy said he had it, and retarned the little buckskin with a solitary ounce of dust. “Little Doc,” another well-known fellow in that land of nicknames, was re- lieved in the same place of $1100, none of which was !eonvnos. Several rich strikes are reported by Urquhart as haflns. been made éust be- fore he left.
