THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1898. GRAVE DUTY OF DELEGATES Alameda’s New Place in Republicanism. PLEDGES TO BE REDEEMED | | ONLY MERIT CAN CONTROL A | STRONG PARTY VOTE. A Few Manipulators and Chronic Place-Hunters Can Easily Tarnish a Good Record. Ozkland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, September 4. The voters of Alameda County want e other argument than the fact that | McKinley has added to the onor and standing of the Republican | rty by his conduct of the recent war to duce them to support a local Republi- n ticket. There is and always has been in Alameda a strong inclination to dissect the man who 1s put up for office rather than to take it for granted that he is worthy of support simply because his name is on the Republican ticket. The following state of affairs is some- thing that should be considered at this time, because within two weeks the party will meet to name a ticket for the No- vember election, and it is incumbent on every individual Republican to take a hand in the preliminary stages of the campaign and not wait until after nomi- nations are made and then condemn the ticket. At the last election Alameda gave a Republican majority of 520. At the pres- time her county officers are thus 5 ¥ ¥ -Populist -Populist T ze were lost to the party e of its putting up men who could mand the confidence of the vot- | his time there seems to be at some similar mistakes | ade, and that Alameda, instead | her reputation, which was | gugmented recently at Sac- | e ra a limited a few men e party has been cling among the masses to s instead of thinking their own salvation. n t can be advanced ublican ticket should be whole county. The best proof of this iIs that there are more than two complete sets of candidates and each one is trembling with fear that the other may be the stronger. It remains for the con- vention to make the choice, and if the disgrace of ’'94—so far as county offices are concerned—be not wiped out this fall it will be just so much rusl prestige for Alameda County in the State cs.rag_nisn of 1902.

Some independent candidates who can com- | and a moderate amount of support, are | y laying their wires for the purpose honeycombing the Republican ticket. xperience has shown that this can be e. Under the present system of pri- les it does not always follow that a man can bring forward a little fon from his own ward that he ust, therefore, be the strongest man for o position the county. While it is 1e that at this time more har- ks of the party in Ala- an has been known for is also true that should sed prestige be misused to age of the few, it will react. Among the Independent candidates is one George C. Hunt. Since Mr. Hunt is now a public man and has issued a state- 1t to the voters, of whom I am one, t be out of place to refer to says: “In consequence s and boss manlipulation ndes the possibility of a man ed with those methods secur- tion at a county convention, 0id any such alllances vith announces him- pendent Republican candidate of Sheriff of Alameda Coun- <0 doing take from the hands the control of the selection r and, Instead, place the t bel in the hands of | of this county to decide | instead of at the primary | been conducted.” rtake to analyze Mr. but I presume he means use he cannot run the If he will be a little boss on _account.

However, there are ands of solid Republicans capable of | ting the county, and it is per- r that iney should be picked he convention than forced upon it ance. There Is certainly no foundation for George C. Hunt’s reference to bossism. There never was a time when Alameda was freer from a political boss than now. It is true that certain individuals might be termed bosses in their respective pre- cincts, but no one can control a ward, the trouble caused by the bad meat issued to the soldiers at Camp Barrett Friday, the same thing in a lesser degree *was done Saturday.

The Elmhurst bicycle match races between A. P. Deacon of the Reliance Wheelmen and A. T. Smith of the Encinal Cyclers, and a one-mile han- dicap race for amateurs. The grand stand was filled with an en- thusiastic crowd of spectators, who cheered the exciting finishes and hissed the loafing which characterized the first heat of the handicap race. It was a great day for the Rellance wheelmen, for their club captured every- thing In sight. The match races between Deacon and Smith proved beyond a doubt the su- periority of Deacon over his rival of the Encinal city. The first heat of the match was half a mile, ridden without pace. In this heat Bmith bore the brunt of the pace throughout, but could not hold it when Deacon sprinted by him on the bell lap. The second heat was one mile, with single pacemakers, and here Smith looked Ilike a winner, but again Deacon’s sprint was too much for him, and he was left far behind at the tape. The third heat was ridden more with a view to pleasing the spectators, as the two victories had already given Deacon the race. Smith, IDO.IhO\lg‘ht to recoup in a measure in the third heat, but was again beaten. This heat was ridden with tandem pace, The one mile handicap atiracted a good entry and was run in three heats. The first went to the credit of A. Reddy of the Acme Club, and the second to Ivan Treadwell of the Bay Cll% ‘Wheelmen, who rode in good style and finished yards in front of his field. The final heat was g rather mixed up and unsatisfactory affair, not from a spectator’s point of view, for it was full of excitement, but from the fact that a dispute arose over the decision of the judges after the finish, which will long rankle in the minds of many a clubman. Treadwel, Holmes, Kennedy and Ames rode in a bunch from the beginning of the bell lap, and as they neared the tape it was seen that a close finish was inevit- able. When the riders had passed in a bunch the judges, four in number, con- sulted one another and it was discovered that two gave the first place to Ivan Treadwell while the other two were cqually positive that Ames was the victor. Referce Thorn was called upon to de- cide the matter and he gave the first place to Ames. Treadwell and his followers are very angry, and rumors of a match race be. tween he and Ames are given credence among the clubs. J. P. Thorn acted as referee and starter, and the timin~ was in the hands of Messrs. Morehouse, Bradbury and Gross, The summary follows—One mile handicap, amateur. First heat—A. Reedy, Acte, first; C. Holmes, Rellance, second. Time, 2:29 25, Second heat—Ivan Treadwell, Bay City, first; F. Ames, Rellance, second. Time, 3:08. Final heat—F. Ames, Reliance, first: Ivan Treadwell, Bay City, second; C.

TRACT LOOKED INVITING OTIS RESPONSIBLE FOR OVER- CROWDING THE CAMP, Instead of Leaving a Portion of the Troops at the Presidio He Took Them All to the Riche mond Camp. How did Camp Merritt come to be lo- cated on the Bay District race track grounds? This is a question that has often been asked, and never correctly an- swered. The fact is that the Spring Valley ‘Water Company {8 virtually responsible for the location In that is was suggested and recommended by that corporation. ‘When the troops began to arrive in San Francisco General Merriam ordered a camp site to be selected.on the Presidio reservation, and the problem of a water supply at once presented itself. The en- gineer of the water company, upon mak- ing an Investigation of the grounds, re- ported that the only place where w: could be quickly introduced was the pa- rade ground near the Lombard-street en- trance, where there was a large main. To carry water to the higher points of the reservation would require a month’s time. The troops who first arrived, among them the First California and the Second Ore- gon, were accordingly located near the ervation. All the avallable space that was sup- owing to the rapid concentration of ground and more water at once. Now here is where the Spring Valley Joker comes in. The company, through its engineer, suggested that the Bay Dis- trict race track ground would be an ex- cellent camp site, as the company had re- cently surrounded the blocks with water mains, and if any more were needed they could be quickly laid. Furthermore, the owners of the property—the Stanford and low the land to be used without any com- pensation. General Merriam inspected the pro- posed camp site and found it rather was then growing a crop of barley, which had been }vl:\nled to form a sod to hold | the sand from drifting. Soon after the| selection of this site by General Merriam all the troops were turned over to the ex- peditionary forces, as they were called, under command of General Merritt, lni whose honor the camp was named. When | General Otis arrived the handling of these | forces was placed in his hands, and he | concentrated all the troops at Camp Merritt, even gk!ng the Seventh Cali- fornia over frori the Presidio. He gave a reason for crowding all these troops Camp Merritt that it was necessary to | have them all together for the better at The fact i{s that had he allowed a fair ortion to occupy the grounds at the Presidio there would have been no over- crowding at Camp Merritt. He had plenty of brigadier generals “lying around loose,” as it were, and could easily have spared one of them to take charge of a brigade or two at the Presidio. The barley soon disappeared from the surface of the sand of Camp Merritt, and as a consequence the ground became damp and retained {ts moisture, which, with the fog, causedl much of the illness that began to be rather alarming early in July and kept on Increasing through- out August. The Seventh California was moved from Camp Merritt over to Point Lobos avenue, where the typhoid fever was de- veloped owing to the camp being located on a place which included within f{ts limits a sink, the fact not beln§ dis- covered until some time after the disease had broken out. Finally the move back to_the Presidio was made. The Spring Valley Water Company was paid about $2000 for meking the connec- tions and supplying water at Camp Mer- ritt. The pipe, about 16,000 feet, one and a half inches diameter, has been taken up and relaid at the Presidio. The cost of restoring the Camp Merritt site to its former condition, the work of which is be paid by the Govenrment. Bt i i THE EIGHTH REGIMENT. Camp Barrett Likely to Move Soon as a Precautionary Measure. CAMP BARRETT, Sather Tract, Sept 4. —It has been practically decided, as a precautionary health measure, to change the locatlon of the Eighth Regiment, and borhood of Haywards. Regimental Sur- geon Dudley and a board of survey have made a careful analysis of the water used at Camp Barrett, which comes from Lake Chabot, and the result has caused them to advise that the water be here- after bojled before it is used by the sol- diers. “The Eighth Regiment has been sta- tioned in its present camp @6ver two months,” said one of the officers to-day, “and naturally the location becomes more or less contaminated after such long use by a large body of men, and the ob- ject of moving to other quarters is a purely precautionary measur SANTA ROSA RATIFES. General Barnes Addresses a Gather- ing of Republicans. % SANTA ROSA, Sept. 3.—The Republi- cans of this city assembled at the Athenaeum in large numbers last even- ing to ratify the nominations of the State convention and fire the first gun of the county campaign. The principal speaker of the evening was General W. H. L. Barnes of San Francisco. The meeting was called to order by L. V. Hitchcock, chairman of the Re- publican County Central Committee, who stated the object of the gathering and introduced a double quartet con- sisting of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Gill, Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Thompson, Mrs. E. W. Deveraux, W. 8. Hosmer and C. F. French, who sang “The Star Spangled Banner” in splendid style, the audience joining in the chorus. Short but appropriate speeches were made by Joseph P. Berry, Frank J. Murphy, candidate for Sheriff, Sheridan Peterson, nominee for Assemblyman, E. P. Colgan, State Controller, and Con- gressman John A. Barham." Then the orator of the evening was introduced. General Barnes was in a happy frame of mind and held the audience spell- bound for over an hour. He confined himself principally to a discussion of the successful conduct of the war by the Republican administration and the disastrous effect to interests of this State likely to follow the election of Maguire to be Governor. The speech was a masterly effort and well recejved. During the early part of the evening Frank Mr., J. Murphy . referred to 4 Barnes as the probable next United States Senator, and enthusiastic ap- plause that continued several moments interrupted the speaker.

A combination between Vallejo, Benicia and a part of the Suisun delegation was supposed to have programmed the ticket to the exclusion of the upper part of the county. The political guess- ing proved correct, and early in the af- ternoon it looked as if there would be a bolt of the entire Northern Solano del- egates. The threat to bolt made by a section assessed for $9,000,000, and com- prising over a third of the population, unless a fair proportion of the offices were allowed it, simmered down to a threatening disregard for what was going on in the convention and a studied lack of participation in the business. Nominations followed, each being rat- ified by the total vote of the convention without a rollcall in the following or- der: Sheriff, George Savage of Vallej County Clerk, G. G.

Besldes the regular ticket here was a determined opposition by a action opposed to the methods of the leaders of the Democratic committee in county politics and the Court House offi- clals. The heaviest vote ever cast at a primary in Salinas was polled, being near- 1y one-half the full vote. The *‘regulars” carried the day by an overwhelming ma- jority. The principal fight was centered on candidates for the pomination for | County Assessor. From outside prccinctsg the reports are that the delegates are evenly divided.
