THE SAN FRANCIL CO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 21, 1898. CANDIDATES RE CHASING | NIMBLE VOTES GAGE GAINS POPULARITY Delegates Flock to His Banner. PARDEE STILL CONFIDENT. Gossip of the Men Who Are Pre- paring for the Contest Next Week. rly yesterday morning it was pered around the corridors of the Palace liotel that Henry T. Gage had secured during the night the support of prominent men connected with the San Francisco delegation, and as the report gained headway political strikers and others anxious to be near the winner tumbled over one another in their haste to invade the headquarters of the Los Angeles candidate. The rumor soon reached the Pardee camp that the city delegation had agreed to stand in for Gage. The champions of Pardee were pot daunted. Heeding the lesson thdt there is “more corn in Egypt” they began to reach out for country support, and many delegates from the interior were introduced to the favor- ite son of Alameda. The followers of Pardee deemed it best. how to add to the strength of their cau rgan- izing the friends of t other than delegates, for T at Sacra- mento, hence an indepe aniza- n-with W, {rman was_established. - commit- tee of ‘twenty-five will r it a point | to rally at Sacramento a of Par- | thizers, | ming rumor reached the | a story that | ittee was | credence | Dr. Par- between 1 the can- the ad- a falr way e commit- ide and the rnia National dee -symy Another a entral C little eonference of | ning, and it must | ble, for both emerged | scene of the inter- the eda can parade a fine phalanx talent, and should the combination of Los Angeles San Francisco become imminent in the convention long-d will not be needed to hear the roars of d stance telephones | the field he would accept the responsi- bility. Southern California Republicans want three places on the State ticket and ‘\hv) expect to get them. All the local fights south of Tehachapi have been | settled and the delegations will vote to- gether. First on the southern list, of course, is Henry T. Gage for Governor. Delegat city declare that he will sweep that sec- tion if nominated and come north with an overwhelming majority over Ma- guire. Mr. Gage is a hard worker and has a magnetic personality, which wins with the delegates, and, as d it yesterday, “He is a vote get- er 1f nominated he will make an active campaign and give the fusion candidate a harder battle than the fol- Jowers of the “Little Giant” anticipate. As a stump speaker Gage has few equals and as an indefatigable hustler he has not a peer in the State. After Gage the south wants Captain Truman Reeves of San Bernardino | nominated for State Treasurer. Captain | Reeves arrived yesterday and registered | at the Palace. He says the manage- | ient of his candidacy is entirely in the ds, and that he is hands of his frien satisfied with the prospects. Captain | Reeves served through the civil war in the Army of the Potomac. He wears an eve and a Grand Army of the badge. He is now serving a as Treasurer of San Ber- | empty Republic | second term nardino County. His friends think he is a sure winner. 3 he sunland politiclans think one - on the bench of the Supreme Court should be held by a jurist from the south and they are just now ar- ranging to concentrate on one man from that secti Judge W. N. Clark of Los Angeles d Judge B. T. Wil- | liams of Ventura seek the nomination. The rumor was circulated yesterday ark has all but decided to withdraw and leave an open field for rilliams. Both gentlemen are in the city, but they have nothing to say of their prospects of securing the coveted place on the State ticket. that Judge C Dr. Pardee’s headquarters were crowded all day yesterday with his friends from Alameda County. In fact the Alamedans were so numerous and occupied so much of their candidate’s | time that he hardly had a chance to | shake hands with the few country dele- gates who called to see him, Realizing that they were monopolizing the doc- tor's time to his great disadvantage the workers got together last evening and organized to work systematically. As- sessor Henry P. Dalton was made chairman and “Billy” Friend was elect- ed secretary of what is jokingly called the “Ollroom Executive Committee. After the organization was completed the chairman visit the various hotels and round up such stray delegates as had not already | found an open entrance into the Gage camp and had there been corraled. Dr. Pardee’s politicians, with a few excep- tions, are playing at a game with which they are very unfamiliar. If they par- ticipate in a few more campaigns they | will, perhaps, know more than they do | present. a”.T’hrls ee‘:'flnmg the Pardee forces will transfer their base of operations to Sacramento. The doctor and a larze! coterie of his faithful followers will de- | part on the evening train. To-morrow | morning a larger contingent of the third | floor delegation will reinforce the ad-‘ vance skirmishers on the convention | ground. Two more aspirants for the nomina- | tion for Attorne eneral cropped up vesterday. W. W. Middlecoff of Stock- | ton arrived in the city and announced | | nis intention to seek the nomination. | Villis Witter of San Mateo announced | would also enter the contest.| | | that he Witter is a nephew of Timothy Guy Phelps, d as that venerable and as- tute pe very busy among the dele ates and candidates yesterday it is surmised by those not in his confi- | | dence that he is making his nephew'’s | fight. Another candidate for Attorney- resentment from the Alameda delega- tion Among the ready and forcible talkers In the delegation are: Frank K. Mott, J. W. Tompkins, W. H. Waste, . B. Thompson, J. G. Mottos Jr., H. J. Tisdale, Frank Purcell, G. B. Danfels, W. A. Dow, C. L. Tisdale, J. B. Lanktree and G. W. ans. Some of the young orators have not passed through the ordeal of speaking in a State ‘convention, and others may ex- perience the grievous disappointment of failing to gain the recognition of the | siding officer. Dr. Pardee’s follow- buoyant and active, are prepared to show the people of California what united Alameda can do. Senator Perkins and M. M. Estee had a talk aside on the situation. It was by no means a star-chamber proceed- ing, as it was held in sight of every one who cared to look down the corri- dor for signs. The San Francisco contingent puzzled when the story got around that Burns and Pardee were together. Later on the fact was revealed that ex-Senator Byrnes of San Mateo, an old-time stalwart of Republican faith, :d to pay his respects to Dr. Par- de Twenty years ago Mr. Byrnes served In the State Senate with Dr. Pardee, the father of the candidate for the gubernatorial nomination. The in- cident calls to memory the fact that Senator Pardee was one of the ablest and most efficient men that ever served the State of California, and as chair- n of the Senate Finance Committee throttled every plundering appropria- tion referred to his committee. There is a theory that genius skips a genera- tion, and if that be correct a son of ameda’s present candidate for Gov- should be a great man. In this gn Oakland is so full of re- ca ca sources that an {llustrious grandfather of the candidate may be cited. ‘ Alexander Brown of Calaveras came to’ town day along with Judge Davis 6f Amador. Mr. Brown is a can- didate for the State Board of Equaliza- tion: for the Second District, now repre- sented by L. V. Morehouse. The latter has d many years on the board and acquired a vast fund of informa- tion concerning the values of city and county property. He is not a candidate far re-election, but if his friends in the convention should deem it wise in the course of events to again place him in — GRAPE-NUTS. GRAPE-SUGAR. Now Used in Food, People who try Grape-Nuts, continue to use them for breakfast and often forlunch, and dessert at dinner.

Jackson, son of | Colonel John P. Jackson of this city. | Samuel Donati, the wealthy Swiss | rancher of San Luis Obispo, brought | | his 250 pounds of avoidupois to the city | yesterday and proceeded to get ac- | quainted. He desires to be nominated | for the position of State Treasurer, and; he feels a red that he ceuld fill the| | chair.

Senator Frank McGowan is trong fight for the nomina- tion for Lieutenant-Governor. He has | worthy opponent in T. H. Selvage of | Humboldt. He has several delegations | pledged to his support, amon~ them be- | ing Humboldt, Del Norte, Mendocino and Sonoma. Although the combined vote of these counties is inconsiderable when compared to that of some of the large countles, it nevertheless forms a | trading strength of considerable value. It is said that the nomination will go to the candidate who can throw the greatest number of votes to the guber- natorial nominee. Three members of the Solano delega- tion, W. L. Crooks, Godfrey Ruger and Chairman R. Benjamin, reported at headquarters yesterday. They declare openly that they are out to trade for Judge A. J. Buckles, who desires to be- come a candidate for Associate Jus- tice of the Supreme Court. Judge Stanley A. Smith, who s now serving his second term as Judge of Sierra County, is the latest candidate in the field for the nomination for As- sociate Justice of the Supreme Court. Judge Smith will go to Sacramento to- night. . Congressman Grove L. Johnson of Sacramento, who is a candidate for the Assembly, was at the State Central Committee headquarters yesterday. Robert Nixon of Yreka, whose pros- pects for receiving the nomination for State Treasurer are considered very good, arrived yesterday. His friends claim that the whole northern portion of the State is solid for him. Chief of Police Glass of Los Angeles is in the city and is using his profes- sional instincts and experience to aid him in finding delegates .and landing them in the Gage headquarters. Judge Spencer of Placer County, an old-line Republican, was at the Palace vesterday. Hc entertained a large cir- cle of friends with many interesting reminiscences of former State cam- paigns. Mayor Phelan and Senator Stephen M. White called on Mr. Gage yesterday and spent a few moments In pleasant conversation. Senator White and Mr. Gage are o0ld and warm friends. They have been professional and social friends for many years. 1t is now conceded that the two local Congressional fights are practically settled. E. F. Loud is assured of a re- nomination from the Fifth District and Julius Kahn is said to be sure of re- ceiving the nomination against Barry in_the Fourth. R. J. Waters, who will be the Repub- lican nominee for Congress from the Sixth District, arrived yesterday. He will attend the State Convention and assist the Gage boom. General E. P. Johnson, O. T.

The delegates from San Luis Obispo | County will arrive here to-night and go | to the State Capital on to-morrow | morning’s train. Victor H. Metcalf, the Congressional nominee in the Third District, joined | the Pardee forces yesterday and will | 8o to Sacramento to assist his fellow | townsman. Dr. Cargill, one of the San Benlto County delegates, drifted into the com- ternoon. He sald his delegation would support Thomas Flint Jr. for Gov- ernor. | Dr. C. L. Tisdale, one of the School | Directors of Alameda, is an active worker in the Pardee camp. Attorney E. K. Taylor «f Alameda made his first appearance with the Pardee men yesterday. Judge J. E. Ellison of Tehama, who is one of the several aspirants for the Supreme Court nomination, registered | at the Palace yesterday. He will go to Sacramento to-night. Major P. J. Harney, who led the for- lorn hope at the Democratic State Convention, called on Major McLaugh- lin yesterday. Harbor Commissioner Rudolph Herold also called at the com- mittee rooms. Mr. Herold is a member of the Gould-Alford-McNab Committee of One Hundred. B. W. Steinhart and Deputy Sheriff McClure of Los Angeles called on Mr. Gage at his headauarters in the Palace. N. Blackstock, candidate for Raflroad | Commissioner from the Third District, arrived from Ventura yesterday. He mingled with the delegates yesterday and discussed politics generaily. Scipio Craig, editor of the Redlands Citrograph, is one of the st enthu- siastic Gage men now In th& city. He is a delegate to the convention. Judge A. J. Buckles came down from Fairfleld yesterday with the Solano delegates. He expects to secure the | nomination for Assoclate Justice of the | Supreme Court. | George B. Ellis of Redlands, one of the San Bernardino delegation and a pronounced Gage partisan, arrived yes- terday. Judge B. T. Willlams, the Ventura candidate for the Supreme Courtbench, is at the Palace.

Very truly yours, I ask you as a citizen of that county and one trusted The issue involved is higher than the It is asserted that Henry T. Gage, who aspires to be elected Governor, was concerned In litigation in the courts of Los Angeles County which affected his character. In the first place, I was an attorney representing Mr. Gage. indmately for an extended period and have become entirely familiar with all of his traits and personal inclina- ‘Anere are at least two reasons Jjustifying me In the second place, I have known him I do not hesitaate to say that no turpitude of any kind or in any particular was shown in the controversy mentioned. Personally being thoroughoughly acquainted with Mr. Gage for more than twenty years, I am satisfied He has resided In Los Angeles County ever since he was sued, and has become one of the most prominent and universally appreclated citizens of Southern California. He is conceded to be a leading member of the bar, and has the confidence of the profession. verbal or written, has always been considered his bond, and no man, so far as I know, whatever may be his stand- ing or prejudice, doubts Gage's honesty. This ought to be sufficient to negative any aspersions connected with an action which was never determined, and which was permitted to pass unacted upon as regards a final judgment. The trial of the matter to which I am alluding was had before a Judge who was a very able man, He was undoubtedly a strong man, but was apt to draw conclusions It was never examined as to its merits by that tri- bunal, because it was held that the appeal was from an 1 ‘erlocutory order, and could not be allowed. Therefore the Supreme Court never passed upon the sufficiency of the evidence to justify the decision of the Judge below. I am satisfied that the decision of the lower court was entirely unjustifiable. any one who has examined the evidence as I have. But Mr. Gage's history is clear and convincing. The position which he occupies at home, at the bar and personally, and the unsolicited support which he is there receiving for the Governorship prove my comment to be well grounded. He has this merit at least: The reflections which are involved in a reference to this anclent suit, which has been open to all Investigators for a fifth of a century, cannot be considered important. these charges those who have lived in Los Angeles, where they originated, would not have the high respect for Mr. Gage which is universally entertained. No allusion would have been made to this case were it not for the political exigencles of certain individuals. ‘While Mr. Gage and I do not agree politically, and do not vote together, I trust that he will be defeated upon As to the Indictment to which you refer, it was found by a Grand Jury without any no- tice to Mr. Gage, on the evidence only of the plaintiff in the civil sult and upon the suggestion of a District Attor- This same District Attorney afterward dismissed sooner than meet a trial which Mr. Gage demanded.

Factional Feud Revived and Many Blows Are Struck, but There Is No Bloodshed. RENO, Aug. 20.—Expectations that to- day’s Silver party Washoe County prim- arles would pass off quietly, based upon the orderly—almost cut-and-dried—man- ner in which Thursday night’s meeting for the selection of thirty candidates for delegates was carried through, were up- set early in the day, No sooner were the polls opened at 1 ‘o’clock than trouble commenced. All the factional dissensions of the party, many of which had been burfed, were resuscitated and made to do their share in the contests or quarrels of the day. The resurrection of the old asylum fight in which Superintendent Bergstein and State Treasurer Westerfleld led opposing sides, was first made apparent by the ar- rival on the scene of Bergstein, Francis l‘finbb and about all the other asylum em- {loyes and their friends, while the oppos- ng side was represented by C. A. Nor- cross, W. G. Caffrey and others. It did not take long for these sides to resume old-time hostilitles. Robb struck’ Nor- cross, or somebody struck somebody else, and then the game was open to all comers. Caffrey knocked Robb down, Nichols, from the asylum, struck Caffrey and Dan O'Keefe knocked the former down. A general melee followed and canes, knives and guns were just coming into play When a few of the better and stronger element, by sheer strength, muzzled the combatants and forced them apart. As far as can be ascertained no one suf- fered more serious injury than a sore head or blackened eve. Governor Sadler came in for his share of compliments and it was stated he had been offered $500 as inducement to sign the prizefight bill. Treasurer Wester- field’s vote was challenged, but after a hot wrangle was allowed. ‘+he polls closed at 7 o’clock, 358 votes being cast. At midnight the count is incomplete, | Democratic State Convention at Sacra- | but strongly Indicates the election of the | anti-Sadler-Bergstein delegates. i ) OVATION TO JUDGE CONLEY.

Conley, Su-| perior Judge of the County of Madera, this evening on his return home from the mento, where he had received the nomin- | ation for the office of Assoclate Justice of the Supreme Court. A large crowd of the prominent citizens and business men of Madera, headed .by | the Madera brass band, met the Judge at | the depot and escorted him to the Opera House, where it was previously arranged | that the reception should be held. is- trict Attorney Larew acted as chairman | of the meeting and in a few well-chosen words introduced the Judge, who, al- though not in condition for speechmaking, thanked the people for the high appre. | ciation they had shown him, after which | the audience dga\'e a hearty three cheers | and adjourned. | o The Supreme Court Clerkship. | Edward I. Sheehan, candidate for Clerk of the Supreme Court, is a popu- lar native son and prominent business | man, and is well and favorably known | throughout the State. His many friends | who are supporting his candidacy and urging his nomination say that as the | Democrats have nominated a Silveg Re- | publican for this office the Republicans | should name a man who is strong and gopular not alone with his own party, ut also among the Democrats. It is| claimed in Mr. Sheehan’s behalf that | he is the only candidate yet mentioned who is strong enough to draw any large number of Democratic votes to the Re- publican State ticket. —_———————— If cleanliness is next to godliness soap ought to posses the odor of sanctity.
