The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, October 25, 1896, Page 2

—_——— THE SAN FRANCISCO . CALL, instance was that rule broken, and that was when a young lady was so overcome with admiration for General Barnes that she rushed off and brought him a coffee- cup, thinking p hably that the tin cup, of which there were thousandson the grounds, might be a little too plebeian for her idol. The people who, pianned the barbecue were practical. They had gauged the Alumeda County appetite accurately. Never in the history of Haywards has so much food been consumed within the town limits in one dey. The beeves were cooked to perfection; the bullsheads were delicious; the potatoes were cooked in ovens made of rocks; secially-built the coffee was a) ldrons, the made in 2 smaller numbers on the bill of fare were liberally_disy nd the keen but not oi a somewhat clouded October sharp_appetite that zest to the fea: nd people standing, sitting, t trees or leaning over fences, one hand znd navigat- : contents to their mouths : several score of willing 1g over rough lum- ber tables delicions morsals without end; gome swarthy Mexicans carving huge ed over a large grease fire in a joyi Ives and g general e political prob- was to-day’s bar- dav supplied t added a finish maids pit; % far more int bonhomie t lems, and s becue.

There g contrast between their fresh, and the features made pallid by electric lights that is seen at a cily gathering. It was to a large extent a country gathering, and as nearly every- body was acquainted with evervbody else there was no formality of stiffness, and one idea, that of having a good time, vre- Prominenc among the pleasure- seekers were two Salvation Aramy lassies seeking to earn a premium by being cham- pion War Cry sellers, and even they did not seem out of place.

About 2 o’clock President Langan called the vast assemblage to order, and the fol- seats on the platform am Roberts, He Smyth and H. W. Meek, San Loren- zo; J. H. Strobridge, D. S. Smalley, C.

Hall, who is the running mate of Judge Greene for the Superior bench, said a few words and peia a tribute to’ the value of brevity. J. W. Clark, in whose Assembly district Haywards is situated, delivered a short speech regarding the vaiueof electinga solid, inteliigent Republican Lezislature, an s certain that the Creator never intended that such a productive district should return a mongrel Assemblyman. Congressman Hilborn was loudly cheered, 'and, having stated he accepted the cheering as proof that his course in Congress was not altogether distasteful to his constituency, ke promised to follow along the same line, and bowed himself to his seat. H. A. Powell told a few Republican truths and gave some advice worth follow- ing. D. E. McKinlay, the Santa Rosa candi- date on the Republican electoral ticket, was in fine form and made a telling speech. As in his former speech at the ‘Tabernaclé he poured forth a volume of facts that were unanswerable and con- -vincin, He carried his audience with him, and his practical speech, coming as it did from a man who is proud that heis a Knight of Labor, it ¢reated a deep im- pression and leff many of his audience thinking as they had never thought be- fore. % . Holbrook Blinn was the next speaker and ske coufined her remarks solely 10 the justness and legitimacy of giving the right of suffrage to her sex. Mrs, Biinn was honored as were none of the other speakers. The sky had worn a threatening aspect all the day, but before Mrs. Blinn had spoken a cotiple of sen- tences the clouds burst wide open and tke scene of life and gayety was bathed in sunshine for several minutes. The ladies at once called attention to the happy omen and prophesied success to the cause with more confidence than eyer. General W. H. L. Barnes was the mnext and last speaker. He said he felt at home as be bad not done for years. He saw around him farmers and ladies, and work- ingmen and politicians and they were all men and women who were able to think and act for themselves. The general made a forcible speech, but was interrupted iwice. While referring to the windy promises of the allied parties there was & rush as of a sudden gust of wind and the immense balloon that had been inflated on the ground was seen shooting upward. The vust audience and the spaaker watched the assent with great interest and not till the seronaut had safely landed on a neigh- borhood hillside from his parachute was the speaking resumed. General Barnes had not proceeded far before there was an- other interruption. There is a man who lives at Haywards named Toyne—George E. Toyn. He isan E ishman, whom the new great register ws to have been naturalized just two years ago. For three months Mr. Toyne ‘has become convinced that it is his mis- sion on earth to reorzanize the monetary system of the world in general and of America in pariicular. He has two claims to distinction. ast Fourth of July <he read the ration of Independence at Hay- a Populist gathering - of Populists at the club- , and he has written a pam- grammer of varied merit, garding the siiver question. He was at the berbecue to-day, and when the speaker = uttered some good American truths Mr. Toyne could not understand them, so. he nt once concluded that Mr. wrong. ut 16 to 12 shouted Toyne. t does the gentleman say ?” asked the speaker. ‘‘Hi warnt to know wot’s the matter with 16 1o 1?2 repeated Toyne. “Nothing is wrong with it,”” was the re- ply, “so long as it is 16 to 1, but when you try to make something else that is not 16 equal to 1, then it is all wrong.” GEORGE A.

M **Aw,"” said Toyne. *Then why cawn't the Government hissue paper money ?”’ “It can, so long as it has the money to redeem it with,” said the speaker, “and so can you.” “No, Icawnt,” said Toyne; and when the speaker agreed with him the crowd saw the point and cheered and yelled for several minutes. Poor Toyne’s acecent | was not in his favor, and after he said something about liking a fair “‘hargu- ment’’ he went for the third time to the shambles and devoured some more free American beef, while the speaker finished his address. Haywards had two motives for giving the barbecue, and each operated to stimu- late the other and guarantee a successful fiesta, One motive was to give the cause of Republicanism a boost in a vicinity that usually favors the enemy, the other was to demonstrate that Haywards is the natural center of what will be the new county when Alameda County is divided. Both purposes were served, and the people of the town, of all political faiths, are con- gratulating themselves to-night that they stood hand in hand to play the part of host to the rest of the countyv. They | scored a perfect success, and Haywards added a fresh chaplet to her honors as an entertainer. The day’s festivities closed to-night with a grand ball given by the Native Sons.

CHICAGO, IIL, Oct. 24 —Chairmen of Republican State committees throughout the country are sending letters to the chairmen of county and eity committees and clubs by order of the National Com- mittee, urging them to get out the vote election day before noon, in order to tabu- late an estimate of votes cast at that time from the registration books and report to the State headquarters the outlook, com- paring the number voted with the regis- tration. The object is to give the afternoon to Republicans who bave voted for active missionary work at the polls in the way of bringing out a full vote and securing the attendance of voters who are invalids and those who may be detained from the polls by business. It is believed that in this manner the result of the election will be anticipated and reported to National Committee healquarters in Chicago shortly aftemsunset. > National Committeeman Cummins re- turned to-day from a tour of Iowa, where he addressed meetings as well as attended to business as a_committeeman in charge of his Btate.

LOUIS, Mo, Oct. 24.—Btate Chair- man Roselle of the People’s party charges that four times since the nomination of the Populist ticket hs has been offered money from Rapublican sources to use his influence toward keeping a full third party ticket 1n the field. In an interview to-day Mr. Roselle is quoted as saying: “Mr. Jones (nominee for Governor) has suffered enough abtse and vile insinua- tions because of his withdrawal from the contest for Governor. Itis time the truth should be told. Money has been offered the Populist candidates and the commit- tee repeatedly during the campaign from Republican sources. If any Populist has failen into treachery or has been influenced to act by money it has been by Republican money, Not one dollar, not a p.edze of office has been made by Democrats. “Republican money was offered me, and not only me, but Mr. Jones, to oppose electoral fusion with the Democrats and to keep the State ticket intact,” be said. “Republican money was offered others of the Populists also, and I have not the slightest hesitation now in saying that some of it was accepted.” Atfter refusing three offers, Chairman Roselle says the alleged representaiives of Chairman Filley of the Republican State Committee made another proposition to bim in the following language: ‘' ‘The moment you file your whole State ticket at Jefferson City," he said, ‘the “*old man’’ (meaning Filley), will produce for you $1000, and I am zuthorized 1o say that you cun have $4000 more on which to make a red hot straight campaign.” “This man evén went o far as to pro- duce checks in my presence. My patience became exhausted, and I said just this,” continued Mr. Roselle, You must go back to Filley and tell him for me to goto hell. I will notsay one word or move one finger to influence the Populist State Com- mittee to aid a goldbug for any office from governor to constable.’”” : Mr. Roselle says he was also offered $1000 for his influence in keeping Judge No‘nh out of the race for Attorney-Gen. eral. Chairman Filley of the Republican State Committee was asked in regard to the charges of bribery al stated by Mr. Roseile and said: *“The whole thing is a barefaced lie. I had nosuchrepresentative. Idon’t do business in that illegal way. Bui'I would not be surprised if a certain Populist had some Republican money, if some of his close friends do not misrepresent him. That is all the answer I have to make,” e John P. Irish Talks. MINNEAPOLIS, Minw,, Oct. 24,—Over 6000 people crowded into the Exposition building this evening to hear the candi- dates of the National Democracy speak on the issues of the day.

ROME, [ravy; Oct. 24.—The civil and religious ceremonies uniting in marriage Prince Vietor Emanuel, Prince of Naples and Crown Prince of Italy, to Princess Helene, third asughter of Prince Nickolas I, ruler of Montenegro, were performed this foremoon. The civil marriage took place at the Quirinal at 10 o’clock in the presence of the King and Queen of Italy, the members of the reigmng family of Montenegro, who had come with Princess Helene ‘to with€ss the ceremony; the Presidents of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies, the members of the Ministry and a numner of court and other digni- taries.

Mary of the Angels), where the re- ligious ceremony was performed at 11 o’clock. 7 The wedding procession from the Quiri- nal ‘to the church was preceded by an esetort of cuirassiers, and miiitary ba stationed along the route played approp: ate, music as the cortege passed. The streets . were beautifully decorated with flags, banners and a profusion of flowers, and lined with peopie, who gave vent to their ‘enthusiasm by almost incessantly cheering as the procession passed on its way to the church and again on its return to the Quirinal. il gl POISONED WITH STRYCHNINE. An Insane Servant Girl Causes the Death of a Woman and Two Young Children. KANBAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 24.—As a re- suit of strychnine poisoning two little girls, aged 4 and 10 years, children of Charles Mussey of 2411 Forest avenue, are now dead and suspicion of murder rests upon a servant, Alice Platt, who is now in jail, held to await examination. Yesterday afternoon the children were given cookies by the servant and about 5 o'clock were stricken with convulsions and the younger child died before medical aid reschea her. This morning the older child died. Five weeks ago Mrs. Mussey’s mothey, Mrs. Ellen T. Torrence, 60 years of age, was stricken under like circum- stances as the children and died in con- vulsions. It is now believed that she was -poisoned by strychrine. The servant is said to be insane. T St Five Men Hold Up a Saloon.

Ex-Governors of the Prairie State Cause an Annoying Counter Demonstration. PLENTY OF GOLD MEN PRESENT. But the Wandering Nebraskan Has His Say and Pieads for Cheap Money. QUINCY, ILL., Oct. 24.—This has been a lazy, meandering day of campaigning for William J. Bryan. Itis true he has traveled 300 miles through his native State and spoke more than a dozen times, but comparison with his recent work makes the adjectives used applicabie. He began at Ottawa in the morning, made some speeches in the Spring Valley coal region, shot over the Mississippi at Rock Island, and after making a wide detour by way of Monmouth, Macomb and Bushnell went back to the Mississippi, concluding the day at Quincy. Late to-night he left for Jacksonville, the town where Mr. and Mrs. Bryan attended school and were married, to remain tbhere until Monday afternoon. The interview with Bishop Worthing- ton, which contained some decided refer- ences to the iree-silver agitation and the education of the children of farmers, was read carefuily by Mr. Bryan to-day, and he made a response to the Bishop’s state- ments in his speech at Monmouth this evening. Mr. Bryan also took occasion to say something at La Salle about the criticisms passed by Generai Benjamin Harrison and President Ingalls of the Big Four in his advice to laboring men concerning their right to vote. With Vice-President Ste- venson seated near him on the stand from which he spoke in a join{ meeting held lor the benefit of Rock Island and its sis- ter town of Moline, Mr. Bryan madea curt reference to President Cleveland and gave in other speeches indications that the closing days of the campaign will not be devoid of warmth. Large crowds were again the order to-day. Quincy, Rock Island, Moline and Monmouth furnished the largest audiences. That at Monmouth was particularly enthusiastic and showed considerable warmth. Several places not on the railroad scheduie of the candidate’s special turned out good-sized assem- blages. At one of these, Galva, some men in the crowd shouted questionsat Mr. Bryan and then would not let him answer, and fora minute or two a spirited repartee between nominee and audience was keptup. The 6000 people at Bushne!l went fairly crazy over Mr. Bryan and literally overwhelmed him in his progress from s:and to train on the conclusion of his speech. The places where Mr. Bryan made nauresses during the day are Ottawa, La Salle, Spring Vai- ley, Ladd, Bura, Kewanee, Rock Istand, Moline, Alpha, Alexis, Monmouth, Bush- nell, Macomb and Quiney. KEWANEE, ILL, Oct. 24—Mr. Bryan began speechmaking this morning betore he had eaten breakfast. His first appear- ance was at Oitawa, where he addr:ssed 4000 people at haif-past 8 o’clock. At La Salle he made another speech before 10 o'clock _to an audience of ahout 1500. Spring Valley turned out a crowd of 1000, including many miners, to whom Mr. Bryan spoke briefly. He also addressed crowds of several bundreds at Ladd and Bura. In his speech at La Salle Mr. Bryan replied to the criticisms by ex- President Harrison and President Ingalls of the Big Four roads of his advice to rail- road men about casting their baliots, He said: Ladies and Gentlemen: There is a matter t0 which I ask your aitention for a moment. Two distinguisied men have called me to ac- count because oi advice which 1. gave 1o rail- road employes. In speaking of the attempt of the railroads to coerce their employes Isaid that in these hard times, when employment is sod flicult to find, I did notwant to advise laboring men to do anything which wonld lose them their employment, and added that they should wear Republican buttons if neces- sary, march in Republican parades if they were commanded to do so,and even con- tribute to the Republican campaign fund if that was required by their empiloyers, but that they should vote according to tueir con- vietions on election day. Mr. Ingalls, the president of a rallroad, in a speech at Cincinnati, denounced me for advis- ing employes to deceive their employers and ex-President Harrison has charged me with teaching immorality in giving the advice which I have quoted. Now, I desire to justify my position. The right to vote according to ‘one’s conscience is & law given right. Coercion is & violation of the law, and when I advise employes to vote as they please, even thouglt they must wear Re- publican_buttons and march in Republican parades, I am taking high moral grounds and giving more patriotic advice than those who countenance coercion and appeal to employes to vote the Republican ticket on election day, merely pecause they have been compelled to ‘wear Republican badges during the campaign. ROCK ISLAND, ItL., Oct. 24.—Four or five tnousand people, including large nu rs of farmers and their families, drove in from the surrounding country and heard Mr. Bryan on the fair grounds at Kewanee at noon. In his speech: Mr. Bryan said: ‘We have had 16 to 1 exemplified and illus- trated in various ways as we have passed from place to place. Sometimes we have been greeted by sixteen little girls dressed in white and one little girl dressed in yellow; some- times a carriage has been pulled by sixteen white horses and one yellow horse, and in & number of places we have received flowers where the bouguet has been composed of six- teen white flowers and one yellow one, but I unaerstand that in this couutry you have the 16 to 1 ratio represented 1n a much more vprac- tieal and eflecuvehwly t‘hnn we have found it ted anywhere else. m\‘}:)e;el‘:]nva ol)ye family in this county with sixteen persons who have heretofore voted the Republican_ticket, all of whom will vote for free silyer this year at 16 to 1 [cheers], and when the family has been Repubiican before, why it counts, you know, at the bullion ratio, because when we have & vote from the other stde it counts two, so in this family it really means the buliion ratio of 81 to 1.

'Hood’s Pills &2} i b Toe that their party has left them, but the Demo- crats who l&mm us to the Republican on the money question have to desert the history of thé Democratic party, because our party has stood for bimetallism, for the use of gold and silver os standard money, during all its exist- ence. Isay, therefore, that when a Republi- can comes to us he still hss convictions that he used 1o have. When a Democrat leaves us he bas got to change his convictions and go over aud denounce what he used to love and love what he used to hate. The most persistent atterapt made dur- ing Mr. Bryan’s tour to create a demon- stration against him occurred at a little place called Galva, where the train halted a few minutes just after leaving Kewanee. About 200 people were there. They were fresh from imbibing Republican doctrine administered by the five ex-Governors of Illinois, who are traveling through the State with John R. Tanner. The Tanner special train, with a flatcar containing a cannon, had passed Mr. Bryan’s special earlier in the day. A salute was fired and the governors deluged the Bryan train with Republican literature as they dashed by. Cheers for McKinley were given as Mr. Bryan stepped out to_greet a gather- ing at Galva, and the candidace responded with: “Is there anybody here who t_hmk’g that the gold standard is the best thing? Cries of **Yes” and “‘No” followed. Mr. Bryan repeated his question and got an immediateanswer from an elderly man who was very much excited and shouted at the top of his voice: “We have comed twice as much silver since the de- monetization act as there ever was from the time of Jefferson to '73,” he shouted, and the crowd cheered. G o *How much siiver are we coiningnow ?' demanded the candidate. There was no response and he went on: *'I want those who say that gold is a good thing to hold up some gold,” he said, ‘“hold up your old, some of you.” Just then the train fiezan to move and Mr. Bryan called back: *My friends look out for the gold man without any goid.” ‘The crowd cheered, but whether for Mc- Kinley or Bryan was not evideni. 3 MONMOUTH, Irn, Oct. 24.—The twin cities of Molineand Rock Island, with the assistance of many people ifom Daven- port, just across tie Mississipp: in Jowa, heia a jomnt celebration of William J. Bryan’s coming this afiernoon. Speeches had been made at all these places by Mr. Bryan on his trip from Lincoln to New York in August, but evidently there had been o cessation of interest in the Demo- cratic candidate, for at least 20,000 people gathered to bear him at a point midway between Moline aand Rock Island. Vice- President Stevenson was also present and made a short speech when Mr. Bryan had concluded. The vice-president went aboard the Bryan special after the mesting and ac- companied the Presidential candidate to Quincy. Although Alpha and Alexis were not scheduled for stops the train halted at both places to enable Mr, Bryan to ad- dress good sized crowds. About 2000 peo- ple were at Alexis and Mr. Bryan told them that he felt an interest in the town because it was the home of his law part- ner, If hislaw iflrmer had not persuaded him to go to Lincoln, he said, he would not have been elected to Congress, and if he had not been elected to Congress he would not have become a Presidential candidate. At Macomb Mr. Bryan spoke as follows: . Ladies and gentlemen: I want to call your attention to au interview which sppears in yesterdey morning’s Chicago Chronicle. I hope that we may find out that it is not true. I waited until to-day before using it, thinking that possibly the morning s paper might make acorrection, and when I speak of it1 want you to distinctiy understand that if there be a sub- sequent denial of the languege used, then all 1snall say about it shall fall to the ground. It is an interview published in_the Chronicle of Chicago of yesterday morning and a dis- patch from New York giving the interview with Bishop Worthingion of Umaha. Let me read you what he says: “When it was sug- gested to the Bishop that the iarmers through- out the conniry were not in as prosperous condition as they had been in the past, Bishop Worthington said: 3 ““The trouble with the farmer,in my judg- ment, is that we have carried our free educ: tional system entirely too far. The farme sons, & great many of them who have abso- lutely no ability to rise, get a taste of educa- tion and follow it up. They will never amount to anything—that is, many of them—and they become dissatistied 'to follow in the walk of life that God intended they should and drift into cities. It is the overeducation of those who are not qualified to receive it that fill our cities while the farms lie idle.” 1 say, my iriends, I hope that it may prove that these words were not uttered by Bishop Worthington. Mr. Bryan ‘arrived at Quincy on his special traia at 8:30 o’clock, accompanied by Vice-President Stevenson. Big excur- sions came from points in Illinois and Missonri and helped swell the thousands of residents who turned out to see the parade and hear the speaking. Three speeches were made by Mr. Bryan, the first at Courthouse square, where an im- mensejthrong was congregated. He was heartily cheered. The beautiful Wash- ington square was the scene of the next demonstration, and then Mr. Brvan went to the Empire Theater. He brought out no new features in his several speeches.

COVINGTON, Ky., Oct. 24—A sub- scription was started by the Newport Commercial Club to-day io secure the best private detective talent and attorneys for the purpose of ferreting out and bring- ing to punishment the perpetrators of the insult to Secretary Carlisle. This euening the Commercial Cludb of Covington issued a call for a meeting of citizens, irrespective of politics, for Mon- day evening, to repudiate the outragesand insults offered to Mr. Carlisle, and to de- mand of the Mavor and city officials the prompt arrest and punishment of the offenders. On Secretary Carlisle’s return the club will give him a reception and banquet. BOWLING GREEN, K., Oct. 24.—~Hon. John G. Carlisle, Secretary of the Treal ury, spoke here this afternoon to an audi« ence which overflowed the opera-house. Mr. Carlisle. arrived at Bowling Green early this morning, and was kept busy all day shaking hands with callers. The scene in the opera-house was en« tirely different to that at Covington. No attempt was made to interrupt Mr. Car- lisle, beyond a few shonts for Bryan and Mr. Rhes, the Third District nominee for Congress. There were many women in the audience and they showered flowers on the distinguished Secretary. Mr. Carhisle spoke for one hour and twenty-five minutes. Immediately after Mr, Carlisle finished speaking John Rhea, the free-silver Democratic nominee for Congress in the Third District, spoke in the public park. He was very bitter in Lis denunciation of Mr. Carlisle. In beginning his speech Mr. Carlisle re- ferred to the Covington incident as fol+ lows: I have the most profound respect for the honest opinions of every man who is wiliing to have his opinions investigated and dis- cussed before his fellow-citizens in the light of reason and experienee, but I have the most supreme contempt for any man who is unwill- ing to permit his opponent to discuss the polit- jeal questions pending before the people. [Ap- plause.] Freedom of speech is one of the . inalienable rights of America, and it cannot be suppressed on the soil of Kentucky. [Ap- plause.] Among the telegrams Mr. Carlisle re- ceived at Bowling Green was the follow- ing: LiNcoLy, Ill., Oct. 24. Hon. John G. Carlisle: Five nundrediawand order sound-money Democrats of this county resent the outrage of Covington hoodlums and express continued confidence in you. Jayes T.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 24.—Mr. Car- Ii arrived in Louisville at .7:30 o’clock to-night, bot said it would be impossible to make a speech at the railroad rally. Last night Mr. Carlisle received telegrams from all parts of the country and State condemning the Uovington affair. Many of them urged him not to abandon his other appointments. He replied: I have never contemplated abandoning them.
