THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 1898. | unless the fusionists surrender to them unconditionally they will put a com- plete ticket in the field, with Shanahan at the head. One thing that has cut deeply into the fusion forces to-night has been the | circulation of the Congressional Record containing the speech of Maguire, in which he moved to strike the income tax out of the Wilson tariff bill on Jan- uary 31, 1894, On nage 2556 Judge Ma- gulre s quoted as follows: The amendment which T have offered strikes out all_of the sections of the amendment offered by the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. McMillen). ch provide for the levy and collectic n incomes, and proposes to raise alent amount of revenue by a_direct n the value of land In the United States apportioned to the States and Ter- ritorfes in proportion to their por Those who are sincere cannot under- stand this attitude of Maguire a nst one of the fundamental principles of Populism.

Mitchell of Los Angeles has | been turned down by the Populists— turned down so hard that he does not | yet realize “where he is at.” Mitchell | came up to-night as one of the Demo- cratic conference committee intending | to take part in the proceedings. | When it was ascertained that Mit- chell was here, Earl Rogers, who has had his hamm out for Mitchell ever since he was upset by the latter six months ago in Los Angeles on a posi- tion promised him, called several of the fusion Populists together, including E. M. Wardell, and reminded them of an incident during the recent counference of Populists, Democrats and silver Re- publi in San Francisco, when Mit- chell refused to reccgnize Wardell when he attempted to address the con- ference. Wardell and the others remembered, and then and there declared they would have nothing to do with Mitchell. They sent word to Alford, Maddox and | the rest of the Democrats that they | would be happy to meet them, but that Mitchell must be left behind. The Democrats stormed and fumed, but to no avail. The Populists were obdurate, and eventually the Democrats sur- rendered as gracefully as they could. ‘When the conference was held Mitchell was left out, and he will remain out to-morrow_and hereafter when Demo- crats and Populists meet. This is the second railway attorney to fall to-day. George W. Baker be- came disgusted at the attempt to bring about fusion and sent in his resigna- | tion as chairman of the Silver Republi- can committee. To-night he packed his grip and stole quietly down to the depot, boarding the first train for San Francisco.

We declare Government by rep- resentation a failure unless the people retain the right to vkto bad legislation and to initiate and vote upon proposed laws direct and we therefore demand n;ldlnmendn' t to the constitution pro- vidin First—That any law or ordinance adopt- ed by any legislative body of this State shall be subjected to a popular vote when demanded by a proper authenticat- ed petition signed by a reasonable per cent of the electors of the State, city or municipality, and if such a vote show a majority against such law or ordinance it shall be invalid. Second—That upon petition of 10 per cent of the electors of State, city or mu- nicipality, as the case may be, the re- spective legislative bodles shall submit to the electors therein Vv question the submi »n of which has been demanded by such petition, or shall submit to them for their approval a law, constitutional amendment or ordinance containing such provisions as may be demanded by such petitioners. This method will enable the people to elect their laws as well as their servants and will give them com- plete proportional representation. Third—When legislation has beenadopt- ed as herein provided by the people no | legisiative body shall have the right to nullify such act without the consent of the people, given at the poils. Fourth—That when the qualified elect- ors of State or county or of citles or municipalities thereof, shall have cast a majority vote upon any question so sub- mitted to them, such majority vote shall settle and determine whether the same is adopted, rejected or repealed. At this stage of the proceedings ex- Senator Wilson of Tehama County ap- peared with a bundle of resolutions under his arm, followed by Mr. Mon- teith, who had several suggestions to offer. The committee, fearing no doubt an avalanche of similar contributions, hastily resolved itself into an executive session and everybody was bundled out. The chairman announced that the press representatives would be sup- plied with a draft of the platform when adopted, but observed that they would be denied admission to the circus which will precede the final vote on the Popu- listic platform. 00000000CO0C00000C LUST OF OFFICE Populist Van Me- ter's Sad Record of Blasted Ambition. Of the Populist members of the convention who congregated at Sacramento yesterday one of the most prominent was E. S. Van Meter of Fresno, who presided over the caucus of those favorable to fusion and presumably to the nomi- nation of Maguire for Governor. Mr. Van Meter is of Democratic antecedents. He was born in Vir- ginia, emigrated early in life to Illinois. A lawyer in Bloomington, he was a persistent applicant for office.
