One hundred and thirty-five Republi- cans signed the roll as members, and some fifty more who are employed at night work and could not be present their names, expressing their d become members. President Harlow in a short address as- | sured the members that the purpose of the organization was to work in harmony with the Republican party of the State | and_city. e club will hold regular weekly meetings on Tuesday nights at the place of organization. VOTER> MUST REGISTER. The lack of shown by voters in registration for the forthcoming election is causing the party leaders much uneasiness. Major Frank McLaughlin, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, | and Willlam H. Alford, chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, held a conference yesterday to devise some method of bringing out the voters. The registration up to the present time has fallen far short of what it should the | have been. As no one can vote until he | has complied with this requirement it nator | means a small poll on election day. The outcome of the discussion yester- day was the determination that each party should send wagons about the streets bearing huge signs requesting their followers to attend to their regis- tration. The office for that purpose at the City Hall has closed, but precinct registration is now in progress. his will continue until Saturday night, after which time no additional opportunity will be afforded. It it has not been done then the delinquent’s vote will be lost. —_——————————— Olympia Republicans.

Heney Declares the Elec- tion to Be Illegal and Will Appeal to the State Committee. ‘“Whispering” Gavin McNab’s little | slate was smashed to smithereens last night at the meeting of the Committee of One Hundred, which was selected some | time ago by the Gould-Alvord-McNab combination to manage the affairs of the local Demacracy. The committee met for the purpose of completing the list of delegates who are to go to the State Convention. “Whisper- ing”’ Gavin had, as he thought, put up a nice smooth scheme which would go | tarough, and only men who are favorable | to his nomination for Congress from the | Fourth District were on the slate. But | he failed to figure on James H. Barry and | his friends, and before the meeting ad- journed the latter demonstrated their strength and frustrated the designs of the “Whispering Boss.” Seventy-two members of the committee were present at the meeting last evening. Of these forty were controlied by McNab. As sixty votes were necessary to elect delegates under the provislons of the con- stitution of the committee, the balauce | of power rested with the friends and sup- , porters of Barry, who is out tooth and nail against McNab for the Congressional nomination. Incidentally, it 1s worth mentioning here that “Whispering” Gavin | had a foreknowledge of defeat. Yester- day he made a proposition, through John H.” Twigg, to Barry that he (McNab, would quit if Barry would. Barry woul not listen to the propesition, and Gavin was informed that the fiery editor of the Star would remain in the fight until he met a worse fate than Cervera's. Another development which brings de- spair to the heart of the aspiring boss is tgnt Mayor Phelan is a Barry man and will support him through thick and thin for the Congressional nomination. McNab's strength heretofore in the com- mittee was partly due to the fact that all the applicants for political jobs who are the committee believed that Phelan with him. Charles W. Fay, who is supposed to be the Mayor's mega- ohone, has trained with McNab, and the | ungry ones took this as an indication that Phelan and the Whispering Boss | were pulling together. The Mayor’s un- | qualified indorsement of Barry has set | all doubts at rest as to where he stands, | and now the job chasers are deserting | McNab. Before a ballot was taken at the meet- ing last night the McNab men tried to | | secure the passage of a motion to the effect that all the candidates for dele- | | gates to the State convention who .re-| | celved the highest number of votes at| | the last meeting should be declared elect- ed. This was voted down after a lon wrangle. A ballot was then taken an seven Barry men were elected. As it was necessary to select thirty more, a com- promise was agreed to. Sammy Braun- hart made a motion, which was carried, | that the representatives of the districts | fin which contests existed get together and agree upon the delegates. This was another McNab scheme, but it did not re- sult as its promoters expected. Braun- hart failed even to carry his own district. He and ex-Registrar Hinton clashed on the selection of the delegates from the Twen- ty-ninth, and when the hospital corps at the secretary’s desk brought in the dead and wounded it was found that Braun- hart had secured but one man to Hin- ton’s three. The selection of the delegates from tbe Thirty-first Assembly District brought on | | arother fight. The combatants were Jos- | eph Leggett and R. P. Doolan. Doolan | was the only representative present from the district, and he recommended three names. Leggett wished to substitute | Charles H. Holcomb, president of the Cen- | tral Democratic Club, for one of Doolan’s | selections. He said Mr. Holcomb was president of a Democratic club of over | 900 members, and that as the representa- tive of such a large body of Democratic citizens he ought to be sent as a delegate to the State Convention. Doolan retorted that Mr. Leggett was not a representative from the Thirty-first and bad no right to | dictate who the nominees from the i | trict should be. Doolan’s recommenda- tion was adonted and Mr. Holcomb was snowed under. This action brought Francis J. Heney to his feet. He declared | that he would appeal to the State Central | Committee and seek to have the action of the committee invalidated, as the method of electing the delegates was un- constitutional; that the delegates were not being chosen by ballot and none of those named In the compromise had received the requisite sixty votes because they were elected by a vive voce majority which was decided by the chairman. Tlarmony was again restored and the remainder of the delegates were selected. When the names were read by the secre- 4 ° tary the members -of the convention checked them off, designating them as Barry, or McNab men as | they went along. After adjourn- | ment notes were compared and it was agreed that Barry and his opponent had an equal number of followers among the | delegates and that the doubtful ones were | more than liable to go to Barry and give | him a distinct advantage when the dis- | trict convention is held. | The seven delegates elected by hnlluf.l were: Charles Keisel, Twenty-ninth Dis- trict; N. Cellar, Thirty-first; F. C. T.Kelly and E. D. Sullivan, Thir' R. Ly and R. Webb and Thompson, Thirty-fourth. Those chosen as a result of the com promise are: John F. More, Alex J. E Yelita, Emil Shuck and D.' F. Murphy, Twenty-elghth District; James P. Lally, Thomas Faulkner, Michael TLucy ~and John Allen, Twenty-ninth District; James Farrell, George Smith, John Devenney, | Thirtieth; Dr. Robert Lowry, John Reid, | Major James Enright, Thirty-first; J.

The testimony was closed yesterday in the sult of Herman Cramer against the Singer Manufacturing Company for $1 damages and an injunction against the infringement of a patent treadle on a sewing machine. Circuit Judge Beatty of Idaho, who was acting for Judge Mor- row, instructed the jury to bring in a ver- dict for the defendant, which was done.

Maguire’s Candidacy Is Indorsed and Senator White Is Urged to Stand for a Re- election. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10.—Interest in matters political in this city to-day centered in the Democratic convention for the election of delegates to the State convention and the selection of | a County Central Committee. Judge Albert M. Stephens was elected chair- man. In his speech accepting the honor he said: “I am glad the Democratic party has cast out of the party that tool of the monopolies, Grover Cleveland.” The morning session was enlivened by the contest in Cahuenga Precinct, which resulted in the throwing out of J. W. Mitchell, a man who has been prominently identified with the Democ- | racy of this county for many years, and the seating of G. W. Albright, a negro, in his stead. During the discus- sion accompanying this action the lie | was freely passed and at times per- sonal enccunters between Mitchell and members of the convention were barely averted. The committee on resolutions -com- mended Hon. Stephen M. White for the | fidelity, ability, integrity and courage with which he had discharged his du- ties as a United States Senator, placing him in the forefront of the great states- men and constitutional lawyers of the nation, and extended to him the thanks of the convention and the Democratic party for the great services rendered by him to the people of the State of California. The resolutions Indorse the adminis- tration and promise to sustain the ad- ministration in the vigorous prosecu- tion of the war against Spain until its final and triumphant close. The convention indorsed the candi- dacy of James G. Maguire for Governor and instructed the delegates to vote for | him as a unit, and further instructed the delegates to secure the adoption by the State convention of a plan of co- alition with the silver Republlc‘w and the Populist parties to carry the plan recently outlined at Sacramento. Considerable frictlon occurred during the selection of the delegates to the State Convention, particularly so in the Third and Fourth Supervisorial Dis- tricts, where the fusionists were unable to fully deliver to the kilted McNab and his fellow self-constituted Demo- cratic bosses, Alford and Gould, the clean slate they had promised. The re- sult is that out of the eighty-one dele- gates selected at least twenty are anti- fusionists. The appearance of Senator: Stephen M. White upon the floor of the convan- tion during the evening session was made the occasion of a most hearty greeting on the part of the members, to which Senator White responded, thani- ing the convention for its expression of confidence. Speaking upon the annexa- tion of territory by the United States he sald: The Doctor Does Some of His Ward Politics in the ttractive | gates uupledged to any candidate to reg; | Tank and George Britt.

Fresh Proof That He Davis and Sell Brown. OAKLAND, Aug. 10.—*“Anything to cap-, ture the delegation” is Dr. George C. Par- dee’s motto just at present, and he is fol- lowing it out to the letter. *“Trust not your closest friends” is another, conse- quently the doctor has cast dignity to the winds and, refusing to rely on his lleutenants, oversees every detail of his campaign. The methods pursued by Dr. Pardee would be highly creditable to Chris Buck- ley, Sam Rainey or ‘‘Whispering” Mc- Nab, but when adopted by an aspirant for the Republican nomination for Governor they stamp him as a man utterly un- worthy of the confidence of the people and unfitted for any position above that of ward boss. Pardee's latest plot was exposed to-day. It was a daring attempt to capture the nine delegates from Alameda City, the Republicans of that place being in open revolt against Pardee, due primarily to his insolent declaration that he would not trust the Republicans to name their own delegates, but would perform that duty himself. The Alamedans rebelled and asserted that they would select dele- resent them at Sacramento. Last nigl representatives from the various Repub- lican clubs met at. Harmony Hall and nominated an unpledged ticket, as fol- lows: P. S. Teller, A. R. Hamiin, J. C. Bates Jr., Dr. C. L. Tisdale, Henry Sever- ing, J. L. Ballentine, J. B. Lanktree, H. publican Club, Young Men's Republican Although instructed to name an un- pledged delegation it {s plain that Pardee his fine work, and it also gives the best proof yet obtainable of the se- cret deal between Pardee and Lou Brown, for of the nine men selected six are avowedly for Pardee, and the remaining three have openly expressed a prefer- ence for Brown. Not daring to take them all himself, owing to the predom- inant Davis sentiment in Alameda, Par- dee has bartered away three delegates from Alameda County to an outsider, be- sides proving to all the world that his frequent assertions of good will toward Davis, coupled with the promise to give that gentleman his support, should he fail to secure a majority of the county delegation for himself, were as insincere as most of his declarations. ‘When The Call first exposed Pardee’s alllance. with Brown the doctor attempt- ed to bunko the people of this county into the impression that he denied the charge by devoting some space in his newspaper to a tirade against a man he well knew was not responsible for the ex- pose. His bluff being promptly called Pardee has since maintained discreet si- lence on the subject. Last Sunday Par- dee even promised J. W. Thomford of Haywards that if he would go to Sac- ramento for him Pardee would throw his votes to Brown at the proper time, though less than an hour before the doe- tor had promised Daniel Chisholm of the same place, who is a Davis supporter, that Pardee's votes would be given to Davis in case Pardee could not win out. The Encinal City Republicans are fu- rious to-day over the decelt that has been practiced upon them, and it is certain that another ticket in opposition to the Pardee-Brown ‘“‘unpledged” delegates will be in the field at Saturday’s primaries. ‘With all his scheming to defeat Davis, Dr. Pardee continues to fill the columns of his organ with frantic appeals for a solid delegation, pleading Wr'xl Davis in “I doubt the wisdom of the acquisi- tion of an alien race or the acquisition | of the Phillppine Islands. Shall we bring into our grand republic an allen race which does not understand our | institutions? A republic cannot exist unless It is controlled by intelligence. ‘We less than all can afford to bring into her confines a people who are un- able to meet the requirements of citi- | zenship. We ought to remember that | we are to-day adopting a new policy | and we ought to pause. “I am not yet ready to say what po- i sition I shall take regarding the| treaty. I give to it every moment of my time, and I shall act according to my convictions, irrespective of the opinions of others.” Senator White then announced that | he would retire to private life at the | end of his term in the Senate; that he was too poor to again become a can- didate and must, therefore, decline a re-election. It was the sense of the convention, however, that Senator White had nothing to say about the matter, and that it was his duty to again offer himself for the place. The convention adjourned at I1:30. TYPOS TO MEET IN ANNUAL CONVENTION ASSEMBLY OF PRINTERS’ THE UNION. STATE | Officers Will Be Elected and Matters Affecting the Trade Gener- ally Discussed. The annual session of California State Typographical Union No. 6 will be heid | in the chambers of the Board of Supervis- | ors, opening at 9 o'clock this morning and continuing Friday and Saturday. | About fifty delegates are expected. They | will represent Eureka Union No. 207, Fresno 144, Los Angeles 174, uarysville | 223, Oakland 36, Redlands 278, Riverside 254, Sacramento 46, San Bernardino 84, San Diego 221, San Francisco 21, San Jose 231, Santa Rosa 31, Stockton 66, San Fran- cisco Stereotypers and Electrotypers, San | Francisco Bookbinders, San _ rrancisco Press Feeders and Helpers, San Fran- | cisco Photo-Engravers and San Francisco Printing Pressmen’s unions. The reception committee, consisting of 8. L. Robbins (chairman), W. J. French, J. K. Phillips, S. H. Jenner and James Olwell, has made complete arrangements for the care of the delegates during their stay in the city. To-night, through the courtesy of the management of tne Orpheum, they will enjoy a theater party at that pofiular place of amusement. To- morrow they will be taken on a trip around the bay on a tug donated by the Harbor Commissioners, and Saturday night all will enjoy a banquet at Campl's restaurant on O’Farrell street. The business of the convention will con- sist of the annual election of officers and reports regarding the state of trade throughout the various organized towns in the State. An effort will be made to grocure all the political printing for of- ces using the label, and arguments will be presented to show proprietors that union men are realiy a help to them in business instead of a hindrance. Th officers of the State Union are: 8. Jenner, president; R. Gall, vice-nresiden M. A. cInnis, secretary-treasurer; e: ecutive committee—S. L. Robbins, A. J. Read and James Marr. The work of ar- ranging the minor details of the conven- tion has fallen largely upon S. L. Rob- bins, who, besides being an active worker in the ranks of the printers, is also presi- dent of the San Francisco Labor Council. —_—————————— Lurline Salt Water Baths.

Davis would admit him- self to be a veritable infant at the game were he to agree to any such proposi- tion. Aside from Pardee's underhanded attacks on Davis, there are many reasons why the latter gentleman should not con- sent to any such arrangement. In the first place, in view of the promised as- sistance of the Buckley-Maguire high- binder tong at the primary Saturday, it is reasonably certain that Pardee will control fully half of the delegation, he does not capture a substantial nra- Jority. His men from Alameda County will rep- resent the sum total of his strength fn the convention, for The Call's canvass of editorial opinions throughout the State has convinced even Pardee himself that he will not go into the convention with any supporters outside of his own coun. ty. But were Davis to consent to the unit rule, Pardee, having a_ majority, would be enabled to go to Sacramento with a solid delegation from home, and this would give him a prestige that might be of great value, for by trading on other offices it would be possible for him to gain enough outside support to give him the nomination now, or at least tie it up for him four years hence. On the other hand, Davis will have a considerable following from the outside at the very start, and every delegate he takes from this county and elsewhere will stand by him to the last. But were he to go to Sacramento without a single any figure in the proceedings. As it is, after Pardee’s friends have performed thelr duty by giving him the vote on the first ballot and the doctor is con- vinced that he is only a joke, they will be free to vote as they choose, for it is| highly improbable that they will allow themselves to be sold out to Brown by Pardee, with Davis In the running. So, | although the doctor may fret and plead to his heart's content, he will not have | the solid delegation, and he will not get | the nomination. His friends admit that. | The election of delegates to the Demc cratic State Convention will be held to- morrow afternoon and evening, and the pastoral ploture. ls promised for- exhibl. tion of fusion Populists participating in Democratic primaries. How beautifull How touching! sweet! In the old days of Buckley and Higgins San Francisco was frequently treated to the spectacle of the “Rockroliers’ dipping into the “Lambs’” pie, and vice versa: but who could Imagine anylmnf tremely humorous as a flock of “Pops’” swoopiug down on a Demgcratic feast? Yet this is what is promised, and it is likely the same thing would have oc- urred_ in San Francisco had not “the McNab” swallowed the whole apple himself. The boast was made in the fusion convention at Sacramento that they would have a perfect right to do so, and it seems as though their claim is valid. About all that is neces- sary to entitle one to sign the Democratic roll here is to pledge that the signer voted ' for Bryan two years ago—if he had a vote | then—and will vote the Democratic ticket this fall. As the Populists—or the fusion branch—are qualified to take that pledge, there is no good reason why they should not help out. There Is no likelihood of there being any serlous contest. Maguire is looked upon | here as the only possibility under the cir- cumstances, but there is a firm determi- nation to protest against the McNab- Gould-Alford steal of San Francisco, and the delegation from this county may be safely counted on to stand In with the move to oust the delegation from across the bay.
