Now in Sacramento on Duty Ready to Aid His Friends. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Aug. 22.—Near the elevator landing on the of Golden main floor gle Hotel to-day stood Timothy - Guy Phelps, who attended a Republican State convention as far in the past as 1856, when John C. Fremont was the idol of the party and the candidate against James Buchanan for the Presidency of the United States. Mr. Phelps studied the animated throng of delegates with a curious interest that one could observe in the strongly marked character lines of his face. No doubt he reflected that a generation of leading men had entered public life and passed away since he began to concern ..mself in the political affairs of Californfa. He mused, no doubt, that some of the young men, proclaimed by the badges to be candidates for Governor, were unborn when his voice was first raised in the Re- publican councils of California. The old- timers knew Mr. Phelps by name, but the youngsters’ knowledge of the man did not go beyond what they had read of his public career. In 1857 he served in the Legislature as mblyman from San n ¥ erved in the Senate in 1858-59-60-61 was a Representative in Congress from California from 1861 to 1863. 1In 1SS he was appointed Collector of the Port of San Francisco. Now he is a Regent of the University of California and a delegate to this convention from the county of San Mateo. Thirty-nine years ago, in 1859, he attended a State convention in Sacra- mento. In that year 150 delegates as- sembled at the First Congregational Church in this city. He was then a can- didate for the gubernatorial nomination, but withdrew in favor of Leland Stanford, in company with E. D. Baker, D. R. Ash- ley, Samuel Bell and F. M. Pixley. h 180 T. G. Phelps was a vice-chair- man of the Republican Convention which met In San Francisco in January 20 of that year to select delegates to the his- toric ‘convention at Chicago which nom- inated Abraham Lincoln for President. Subsequently, while serving in Congress, he met Mr. Lincoln on many occasions, and enjoyed the confidence and high re- gard of the great President. At the State Republican Convention held in this city June 18, 1861, when 250 dele- gates assembled, Mr. Phelps was again a candidate for Governor with Stanford as his chief opponent. The nominating bal- lot was 197 for Stanford, and 104 for Phelps. At the Union District Congressional Convention held at San Jose June 10, 1867, Mr. Phelps was nominated for Congre: ‘At the Republican State Convention h in this city June 10, 187, Mr. Phelps was nominated for Governor without opposi- tion, but was defeated at the election the following September by Willlam Irwin, the Democratic nominee. In 1879 Mr. Phelps was nominated for Rallroad Commissioner. In 1888 he served on the committee on platform and reso- lutions of the convention which sent dele- gates to the national convention. The same year he was nominated for Congress in the Fifth District and only lacked a few votes of winning. His opponent, Thomas Jefferson Clunie, won by a major- ity of less than fifty. Mr. Phelps gained grand distinction for his loyal and unylelding support of the Union cause in_the Legislature of 1861 He was the author and able advocate of the famous Union resolutions. He served with credit as Collector of the Port of San Francisco. In the Board of Regents he is rated as a man of superior ability. sy ANTI - CIVIL SERVICE. The League Sends an Address to the Convention. The following circular has been sent to the Republican State Convention: The Republican Anti-Civil Service League of California begs to remind the delegates com- prising the nominating convention of the Re- Publican party that there is expected of them & plain, unequivocal declaration {n the plat- form adopted at Sacramento in line with the action of the Republicans of Ohio and Penn- Sylvania in reference to the so-called ctvil sarvioe system in Federal offices. Thousands of Sarnest Republicans throughout the State are ke to the mecessity of some definite action in this matter. The Anti-Civil Service League is organized to concentrate and solidify the prevailing sentiment in opposition to this un- American system. A Mumber of the veteran members of this league who have been unjustly removed to make room for Cleveland's civil service pro- Yeges Join us in this communication and ask Vot to insert a plank in the platform in oppo- sition to this system If you ‘wish to save the Republican party from ignominious defeat in the campaign now opened. ‘'he American people will mever submit to Aictation from 80,000 office-holders who are to hold office for life and the reciplents of gov- ernment bounty in the form of pensions for superannuated officials, In conclusion we desire to state that this communication 18 presented in good falth and We hope it will recelve the consideration and Tespectful action of the ~onvention that its merits_warrant.

Men With Political Hopes and Men With the Joy of Fighting Within Them. At least a ton of political hopes and as- pirations embarked on the two afternoon trains for Sacramento yesterday. The members of the local delegation shook the dust of this city from their heels amid whisperings full of import and silent schemes that were lodged deep in the minds of the wise ones. Jesse Marks, in beautiful ralment, did enough canvassing on the boat to elect an entire ticket. Dan .Cole, with his chin whiskers and his medieval smile, looked on as a spectator from afar. Ed Wolf and Jullus Kahn, with Congressional bees in their bonnets, wasted not a minute but plied the political hand from the ferries to the landing on the other side. With them was Henry George Wash- Inf!nn Dinkelspiel, another aspirant for solontc henors.. Harry N. Gray and Pat Lannon, who is looking out for County Clerk Curry at all times; and Sam Short- ridge, with his silk tile and Senatorial de- mentia, exercised the glad hand with wonderful effect. Frank Grimes, Barney Tracey and George Walker, a trio that cast rosfllendem rays over the entire bay, forgot the Maine for the moment and did politics and were happy. The country delegations left the city In the morning, shoutine ror at least a quar- tet of gubernatorial candidates, with the name of Gage ringing out above the rest. Everybody was crying for somebody or other and wanting to know why there was not unanimity. Candidates were scheduled from the State Printer up to the Governor; slates were formed that will be broken and reset a dozen times before the wise men reach the Capitol, and the struggle of the next few days was !ou%!]l out and tapulated in the ar- chives. 'he name of George Knight was heard frequently; then Brown, then Es- tee, and finally rardee, was nlaced in the chair that commands a view from Del Norte to San Diego. The local (‘nn!lngent’rprepsred for three things particularly: he heat, both of convention and weather; a hard battle and an unquenchable thirst, the latter be- ing given opportunitv to dovmnr by the warm arguments in which all indulged. The parting words of Jesse Marks sum up the situation: “Thank God, we are well fortified in spirit and inclination, and it will go hard if success does not meet our combined efforts for everybody and everything ————————— INDORSE NIXON FOR STATE TREASURER Delegates From Northern Counties Will Support Him, and Also Sweeney for Associate Justice. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Aug. 22.—The delegates of the First Senatorial District, which com- prises the countles of Trinity, Siskiyou, Shasta, Lassen and Modoc, met In cau- cus to-night and indorsed Robert Nixon of Yreka for State Treasurer. The fight for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court was also taken up, and it was unanimously ~decided to _indorse Judge Edv.ard Sweeney of Redding, Shasta County, for one of the nomina- tions for Assoclate Justice. The friends of Judge Sweeney claim that the Sena- torial indorsement has added much to his strength, although = admitting that in Judge Williams of Ventura he has a strong rival, e Organize for the Campaign. The Republicans of the West End of the Thirty-seventh District, at a meéting held last evening in Kirchner’s Hall, organized for the campalgn and appointed the fol- lowing officers: President, Thomas G.

Dodglg. Walter Douglas and Max Knaur. he total membership recorded at the meeting is elghty-five. It is proposed by the direc- tors of the club to give weekly meetings immediately after the State Republican Convention at Sacramento, and present a number of able speakers to address the members on the course to be pursued dur-\ ing the coming campaign. —_——e—————— Women of the Press. The August social meeting of the Pa- cific Coast Women's Press Association was held in Shasta Hall, Native Sons’ building, yesterday afternoon. A large audience was present, and the pro- amme, under the direction of Mrs. Sara Reamer, was greatly enjoyed. Informal talks were given by several members concerning _different foreign countries whicn they have visited, and these talks were interestingly illustrated by the exhibition of collections of cu- rios anu photographs. Mrs. P. L. Dickinson, ex-president of the association, told of Japan, where she resided _for = some little time. Mrs. Maria Freeman Gray spoke of the Hawailan Islands; Mrs. 8. E. Reamer of China, and Mrs. E. M. North of Norway.

NOT UNTO THE DEATH Alameda City's Inde- pendents Unpledged to Dr. Pardee. Will Vote for Him Only As Long as They Think Him a Winner. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- | MENTO, Aug. 22—The concessions made by Dr. Pardee to some of the Alameda County delegates are becoming fully ap- parent. The claim set up by the doctor's supporters that he had captured the so- called independent delegates from Ala- meda City is only true in part. Those nine delegates are here and they will vote for Pardee on the first ballot and as much longer as they think he is in the running, but they are not pledged to him by any means, nor do they want the impression to go abroad that they are. They are in- dependent in every sense of the word— such s thelr open declaration—and the only fight they have on hand is that for the welfare of théir city and county. It Is a source of no_ inconsiderable an- noyance to the out and out Pardee shout- ers that the nine Alamedans have so far refused to decorate themselves with the convention which opens in that city on Saturday. Maguire hopes to annex this party to his camp and thus place another patch on the already much-sewed suit. The convention in Los Angeles will not be a genuine convention in the sense in which the word is ordinarily used. There will be no delegation from the counties of the State, but all the Silver Republicans are invited to attend ALAMEDANS CHEER ALMOST EVERYBODY BOOMERS OUT, HEADED BY DR PARDEE. They Shout for Gage and Kick Over the Bucket of Milk by Whoop- ing for Bulla. L. HEADQUARTEKRS, SACRA- TO, Aug. Two nundred Pardee boomers from Oakland and other points in Alameda County come up to-night, and alded and abetted .y the sixty-eight dele- gates to the State Convention from that county, took po an hour or so. wvery man carried a small American flag, and, escorted by a band, marched from the train to the Golden Eagle, illuminating K street on the way with Roman candles. Wheeling into Seventh street, the Ala- medans halted under Pardee’s window and cut loose a varied assortment of yells and songs calculated to express their fealty to the Doctor. Pardee appeared at the window and, in response to calls for a speech, said that were was only one speech to make on such an occasion, and that was to ‘‘come upstairs.” The invitation ;was accepted with a rush, and almost instantly the cor- ridors of the hotel were filled with strug- gling, shouting, perspiring Alamedans. After paying their respects to their own man, the Alameuans emulated the exam- ple set by the Los Angeles men earlier in the evening, and set off on a tour of the various headquarters, Dr. Pardee led the way, first to Thomas Flint’s rooms;, that gentleman. being greeted with cheers and music. Thence the crowd surged to whereGage has head- quarters, and Dr. Pardee called for three cheers for the southern leader. Royally thev were given, but the Ala- medans immediately copnered the display of good feeling by adding three more cheers for Bulla, well knowing that any demonstration on. behalf of that gentle- man s an indirect slap at Gage, for, of the indorsement of Bulja for Sen- ator would put Gage out of tHe guberna- torial fight. It was not much, but it left a nasty impression. with the southern men, and certainly it was not in keeping with the sincerely cordial expressions of the Los Angelenos for Pardee. The Alamedans next moved over to the Capitol Hotel with their band and paid their respects to L. H. Brown and Attor- ney General Fitzgerald, both of whom have their headauarters in that hotel. Neither of those gentlemen was in his headquarters, and the Alamedans brought the parade to a close. — e THE MAYOR WEAKENS. Signs the Street-Paving Contract With a Doubtful Proviso. Mayor Phelan states that he will sign the contract recently awarded by the Board of Supervisors to the City Street Improvement Company for repaving and repairing bituminized streets. He hds ar- ranged, however, that the list of streets and crossings to be repaved shall be ma- terially altered and that unnecessary work shall not be done, but other streets substituted under the contract. Some days ago The Call pointed out the fact that many of the streets mentioned in tne proposals for bids did not need repaving. Thé Mayor théreupon made an investiga- tion and found the facts to be as stated. ‘When the Supervisors met to rush Pardee badges, wearing instead a broad white satin ribbon bearing in scarlet let- | ters the number of their Assembly Dis- | trict—the Forty-seventh.

This is the way one of the Encinal City delegates put it this afternoon: “We put our own money into the primaries and won out without any aid from Dr. Pardee or his assistants. Naturally, we are for an Alameda man, and we will sup- Porl Pardee just as long as we think he is n it; not as long as he thinks so. There are no strings to us and we are at liberty to vote for whom we please and when- ever we choose. Our first interest is for Alameda City and then for our county. We will cau®us some time before the conventyon assembles, and will probably defilde tuen whom we will support for the subordinate places on the ticket. So far we have glven that matter no considera- tion, and we are not letting anybody else do our thinking for us. 2 “If, at any time, we reach the conclu- sion that Pardee has no chance of win- ning out, we do not propose to gain any- body's tume by holding out for him to e last.” MAGUIRE IS WORKING. Wants Another i;donement, and This Time From the Silver Republicans. James G. Maguire will leave this city for Los Angeles Thursday night in order to be present at the Silver Republican such streets as might be substituted for those mentioned in the specifications as needing repaving. “The contractor told me,” said Mayor Phelan to a Call report- er, “that any substitution of streets or crossings that might be suggested by the Superintendent of Streets, or the commit- tee on. streets, would ve satisfactory to the paving company. ‘Lhereupon I decid- ed to let the contract go. through by sign- ln% the papers.” he question as to whether the con- tractor could be held under his bond to submit to any alterations in the contradt is one which may have to be settled at a later date. B DEATH OF H. HENNESSEY. The Well-Known Purser of the Doric Passes Away. Harry Hennessey, the well known pu ser of the Doric, died last night at the Westminster after an illness of ten days. He had been suffering for some time from Bright's disease, but the end came sud- denly. Hennessey has been a traveler of the seas for many years, and was one of the trusted employes of the Orlental and Occfdental line. ~He was formerly on the Gaelic In the same capacity. His friends were legion, the product of a thirty years' life on the ocean.

His free- dom from railroad domination is known from one end of the State to the other and will be used by the convention to in- dicate its own position. While Neff and Gage have naturally -engaged the attention of most of the delegates to-day, they are mnot the only candidates who are forcing themselves in advance of their rivals. There is hardly a county delegation in the State that has not a candidate to present or some concession to demand. Trades of all sorts and of varying importance have been made to-day,and as a result some of the candidates have made combina- tions that will probably mean victory. Among those who have forged far enough ahead to look like winners is Thomas J. Kirk of Fresno, who is seek- ing the nomina..on for State Superintend- ent of Public Instruction. His delegation is making a strong canvass, and seems to be well in the lead toward victory. Another of the aggressive candidates who is credited with having very much the best of the situation is George W. Root, who seeks the nomination for Clerk of the Supreme Court. Root has many powerful friends behind him and will probably win the day. The Call Praised. HEADQUARTERS, MENTO, Aug. 22.—At a meeting of the Third Ward Republican Club of Sacra- CALL SACRA- mento to-night, at which 275 members were in attendance, the following reso- lutions were unanimously adopted ex pressive of the appreciation by Republi- cans of The Call as a thoroughly reliable newspaper and a stanch supporter .of Republican principle: Whereas, The San Francisco Call, being a thorough Republican organ and will do effi- clent work for the Republican party in the coming campaign; therefore, be it Resolved, That the Third Ward Republican Club indorses the good work of The San Fran- cisco Call and adopts the same as its official organ.
