THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1898. Mr. Siebe was not in question. The sub- ject was a case of alleged partiality. “We have indorsed this man on our ticket,” said he. “We are before the peo- ple and we ought to give him a chance to explain this thing, and I don’t know of any better way to have him do it than by means of the resolution which I introduced. counter attack on Mr. Le Breton—" “I made no attack on Mr. Le Breton,” interrupted Ellert. r. Le Breton is a banker,” said Mr. “and your remarKs the other Le Breton is able to take care of himself,” returned Ellert dryly. A.

The Fallacy of Many Democratic Doctrines as Expounded by Maguire Exposed by the Standard Bearers of the Good Old Party, Bonfires on Laguna street at Hayes and Fulton, and a band at Laguna and Grove streets, called out a multitude of men, women and children last evening. The occasion was a grand Republican rally at Mowry's Hall under the auspices of the clubs of the Thirty-seventh and Thirty-eighth Assembly districts. Mowry's Hall was packed when ex-Sen- ator Wentworth called the meeting to or- der and introduced James E. Field as chairman. The presiding officer made a few appropriate remarks, saying: ‘‘We are here for the purpose of Instilling en- thusiasm among the Republicans of the Thirty-seventh and Thirty-eighth Assem- bly districts. We are here to indorse Henry T. Gage for Governor—(loud ap- plause)—Eugene F. Loud for Congress and Charles L. Patton for Mayor.

It was not honorable to reopen the question after Mr. Siebe had been placed on the ticket. Mr. Ellért’s motion was put and carried by a viva voce vote.

There was no choice and a second bal- lot was ordered. “I withdraw the name of Martin Frag- ley,” said Ellert, stand a show here.” The secretary was then instructed to east the ballot for Doolan, and Brother- in-law Sullivan smiled contentedly. Franklin K. Lane was the choice of the investigating committee for City and County Attorney. (3 Ellert presented the name of Willlam F.

The Army and Navy League have adopted resolutions denouncing the ac- tlon of Abbott Kinney of Los Angeles in bringing suit to disfranchise 2000 old army veterans now wards of the old Soldiers’ Home at Santa Monica. A portion of the resolutions reads as follows: A Democrat of Los Angeles, aspiring to_be Unlted States S r, has brought suit to dis- and to rob them of their citi- zenship and place them upon the plane of “paupers.” When men who have been tried in the furnace of war, stood shoulder to shoul- der with us, fought the battles of our country, endured the horrors of prison pens, suffered from wounds and disease, sacrificed their health and strength to save the nation, now in thelr old age and decrepitude given lum by a grateful Government, are thus as sailed and a mean attempt is made by a “Popo”’ Democrat to rob tnem of their right to vote, the time has come, we say, for us to 1f there is any reason why Willlam F.| get right out on guard, do hard political work Fitzgerald should not receive this nomi- and vote the straight Republican ticket from its 0} nation, I would like some one to inform to its bottom—not even casting a vote for a ™5t is high time,” sald Le Breton, rather “that this angrily, when Ellert sat down; practice of reminding us eve utes that we are only nominating Dem- very much if the delegate who does so has ocrats was stopped.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4—A Journal special from Antwerp says:" The jury in the in- ternational competition for the Phebe Hearst architectural plan for the Univer- sity of California concluded its labors to- day. Plans to the number of 100 were sub- mitted and examined. Eleven were found to possess such merits as to entitle their authors to rewards of $1200 each and the right to enter into the final competition. Negotiations are in progress for ur- chase of several plans, outside of those considered by the jury to be useful to the university. The members of the jury, together with the successful architects, will be taken to California and there enteftained by Mrs. Hearst, and in June, 1809, the jury will there select a plan, which must be approved by the Regents of the Univer- sity of California. t the banquet given last evening by Mrs. Hearst to the authorities of Antwerp and the jury, Mr. Pascal, president of the ury, in responding to a toast, said that rs.

We want it to be known that the Republicans are alive to the importance of the campaign.” The first regular speaker introduced, Hon. Eugene F. Loud, recelved a round of hearty cheers. Mr. Loud recalled some incidents of his first contest for Congres- sional honors, and observed that the Re- publican party, when it boldly advances and adheres with courage to its prin- ciples, always succeeds. The name of President McKinley was mentioned, and the mention elicited shouts of applause from the audience. Mr. Loud referred to the peculiar condition publican majority in that section of the | confronting the Republican party in this campaign. The fusion nominee says there is but one issue before the people to-day, and that is the funding bill. . All rational people know that that question is settled. Mr. Maguire refers, I presume, to the amendment to the deficiency bill. At some length the history of the legis- lation on this measure was reviewed, and of Senators Morgan and ‘White defined. On this point Mr. Loud said, with emphasis: *The understanding of myself and others was that Mr. Ma- guire assented.” Mr. Loud spoke so earnestly and frankly on the subject that the audience was not left in doubt as to the fact that Mr. Ma- guire did assent to the settlement of the railroad question. Speaking for himself, Mr. Loud declar- ed: “I am prepared to defend tne amend- ment securing the settlement of the fund- ing question from this day to the day of election. This amendment was adopted in the Senate without objection.” The Democrats were asked if there were not other questions confronting the people. He did not assert that the war was a Republican war, and could not imagine how any one could be so preju- diced by party feeling as to advance such a claim. The war, he said, was a nup- rising of patriotic Republicans, Demo- crats and Populists to uphoild the honor and Integrity of the nation. It was an American war, in which the splendid pa- triotism of the American people was ex- hibited. Mr. Loud dwelt at len~th on the oppo- sition of certain Democrats to the war revenue bill, and remarked that the tak- ing of $200,000,000 of bonds by the Ameri- can people was worth more than an army In closing he asked that California should send this message to President McKinley: “We have elect- ed the wnole Republican ~cket by 20,000 majority.” (Long continued applause.) The California Glee Club sapg a song entitled ““Gage Is the Man." The singing called forth plaudits. Henry T. Gage, the nominee for Gover- nor, accompanied by Colonel George Stone and J. Alva Watt, entered the hall while Mr. Loud was speaking. The de- monstrations of applause and the ringing cheers given for the next Governor did not disturb the speaker. He waited un- il the tumult of enthusiasm subsided and then closed his speech as stated. ‘When Mr. Gage was presented to the audience the applause was renewed and prolonged. He was introduced by the chairman as the nominee of one of the largest and grandest conventions that ever assembled in California. After ac- knowledgment of the greeting, Mr. Gage said: “The chairman speaks truly when he says that the Republican convention which recently assembled in Sacramento was one of the grandest conventions ever held in California, yet my distinguished opponent in this campaign nightly asserts on his speaking tour that this grand body of Intelligent and independent citizens | ing. was dominated by corruption. He as- salls the Integrity and honor of that vast ¥ assemblage of men in which every coun- ty of this State was represented. I repel the calumny here. I say it is an out- rage. that he should denounce these men as railroad hirelings. I would not so speak of a Democratic convention. I would regard it as dishonorable to cast such an imputation on a body of my fel- low citizens. I am built on different lines. I believe in the integrity of men and the virtue of women.” (Tremen- dous applause.) Mr. Gage styled the opposition the “Confusion party,” and quoted from the party indorsements to prove that the ‘“‘Confusion” convention {indorsed the single tax doctrine. He remarked that the Democrats, alarmed and dismayed over the situation, were declaring that single tax was not an issue. “My opponent,” aid Mr. Gage, “has de- clared in Congress in favor of single tax. The convention of Democrats and Popu- lists Indorsed him. Now tell me, have they not made his acts an issue in the campaign?”’ “If the single tax system of placing ail tax on land should prevail the railroads would pay no taxes. The farmer who owned a farm and the mechanic who had saved a little money to buy a home would be compelled to bear all the burdens.” Mr. Gage pronounced the doctrine in- famous and revolutionary. In closing, the standard bearer predicted Republican suc- cess and promised, if elected to the oflice of Governor, to discharge his duties faithfully. A recess was taken to give the people an opportunity to grasp the hand of their next Governor. The arrival of Charles L. Patton, Re- publican nominee for Mayor, was the sig- nal for a great demonstration of ap- plause. Mr. Patton made a frank and manly speech which won him the instant favor of the audience. He expressed ab- solute confidence in the new charter, in- dorsed the dollar limit, declared that cor- porations must pay taxes, and promised if elected Mayor to give the people of gan Francisco a clean, honest and fair eal. Speeches were made by A. J. Morgen- stern and Frank McGowan, which enter- tained the large audience and aroused great enthusiasm. The meeting ad- Journed with three cheers for Gage, three for Loud, three for Patton, three for urry, and three for the whole ticket. This evening Henry T. Gage will speak at Drew's Hall, 121 New Montgomery street, and at Cambrian Hall, 1143 Mis- sion street.

The Thirty-Sixth Assembly Dis- trict Club Holds an Enthu- siastic Meeting. Mission residents, attracted by a huge bonfire and the sound of music, were drawn to Rolander Hall, Twenty-eighth and Church streets, last evening, the oc- casion being a Republican mass meeting held under the auspices of the Thirty- sixth Assembly District Club, in honor of the standard bearer, who was Invited to address the voters of the district. Be- fore any of the speakers arrived, stand- ing and breathing room was at a pre- mium. The stairway leading to the hall was jammed with men, who, unable to ob- tain admittance, tried to catch at long range the sentiments expressed by those who spoke. The arrival of Henry T. Gage was made manifest to the more fortunate ones with- in by the enthusiastic shouts of those on the stairs. As he pushed his way through the dense crowd he was hailed with cheers and his hand was shaken by hundreds before he could reach the plat- form. The moment he stepped inside the building he was greeted with cheeripg that drowned the blare of the brass in- struments that were playing a patriotic melody. The shouts and hand shakes were re- ted when Hom. Charles L. Patton, at- tended by other candidates, entered the hall. The Republican candidate for Mayor must have been gladdened with his recep- tion. As his large form loomed up among the crowd cheers were given in his honor. Presldent Frank French of the club, un- der whose auspices the meeting was held, acted as chairman and introduced the many candidates who addressed the meet- Tntroduced as the next Governor of California, Mr. Gage stepped forward and in a short speech told those present in no uncertain terms that he was going to be elected. Thi® expression, so confidently given, seemed to forcibly impress the gathering, and his hearers shouted and stamped approbatioh. Mr. Gage said he did not know the people of this city, but was trying to become acquainted ~Wwith them rapidly by making a personal can- vass of the different districts of the city. He emphatically said that he was not controlled by boss or corporation. He de- nied that the convention that nominated him for the important office of Governor was controlled by a corporation, and add- ed that it was very dishonorable in Mr. Maguire to say that it was dominated by corporate influence. A rousing greeting was accorded Mr. Pat- ton when he was introduced by the chair- man. His voice, though a little hoarse, due to his constant speech-making, Wwas heard by those in the outer entrance. He endeared himself to the Mission people by informing them that he had gained his first education in the Mission schools and finished it in St. Mary's College, which was then located on Mission road. He said he was a native of California and was always striving for the advancement of the State. Mr. Patton said he was in favor of the Legislature ratifying the charter and in favor of the city owning the gas works. If elected to the position of Mayor he would do all in his power to give the city a decent and honest government. He eulogized Mr. Gage as the ideal can- didate, and expressed a hope that the voters of the district would help swell the majority which he prophesied would Le rolled up for him next month. He then excused himself, stating that he had to speak at another meeting, and, like the previous speaker, was enthusiasti- cally received on his way out. Jubez Swan entertained the audience with a few songs, and then Judge D. J. Murphy, candidate for District Attorney on the Republican ticket, was introduced. “Those principles, if carried out,” he said, ‘“will be to your detriment, to my detriment and to the detriment of your children and my children. Therefore it is outside of being a Republican that I oppose his election. While I admire the man personally I hate his principles. (Ap- plause.) 1 would not if I could, and I could not if I would, say one word against Mr. Maguire personally, and let no one of his friends understand that I am referring to him as a man, but sole- ly to his principles, which I believe to be in deadly conflict with the prosperity of our country. (Applause.) And I tell yvou, my friends, the prosperity of my country and the good feeling of my neighbors are far above anything like holding any office that the public may glve me. “The other day I got word the Exam- iner was going to begin roasting me in the next few days. Let me tell you that if they do, before I get through with this campaign some one else will get roasted, and roasted badly.” Judge Murphy told his listeners that if he were elected the rich man would not be received in his court with any more kindness than the laboring man. Deafen- ing applause greeted the close of his speech. The Waterman Sisters followed in songs and received as warm a reception as thos who preceded them. Thelr campaign songs were roundly applauded and they had to respond to many encores. Arthur Attridge, candidate for Super- visor from the Eleventh Ward, followed and said that he was not in the habit of speaking to such large Republican audi- ences. “This is the largest meeting held in this district in twenty years, and I hope other districts will take notice of our gathering. I thank you all.” Chair- man French completed Mr. Attridge's re- /marks by saying that there was not a olitical ~ mud-slinging factory in tne Jnited States that could concoct one sling at him. A. H. Merrill, candidate for the Assem- bly from the district, also spoke. A. P. Van Duzer filled in the gap caused by the wait for Congressman Loud by saying some harsh things against the doctrines of Mr. Maguire, the Democratic platform and the many platforms he has taken unto himself. Hon. E. F. Loud was given an ovation when introduced, and he made a short but pointed speech on the good deeds erformed by the Republican party dur- ng the past four years. ‘'oroner W. J. Hawkins followed in a short speech. E. H. Falvey also ad- dressed the meeting. The following named gentlemen acted as vice presidents of the meeting: H. C. Langhur, C. Eliis, W. B. Walkup, Thomas W.

INSIDE POLITICAL HISTORY MAYOR PHELAN AND ANDY LAWRENCE RENEGE. Forced the Erstwhile Boss to Play Second Fiddle in the Local Democratic Band. The newest thing in the local Demo- cratic mix-up is the '‘“splendid isola- tion” of “Whispering” Gavin McNab. There was a time not so very long‘ ago when the Whispering Boss was the Democratic party of San Francisco. Though he was great he did not abuse his greatness, for out of the goodness of his heart he permitted Mayor Phe- lan to live and even went so far as to| permit Andy Lawrence, the political| Pooh-Bah of the Examiner, to say nice things about him in return for an oc- casional smile or a brief word of greet- ing. It was this kindly trait in his na- ture that finally brought about his ruin. Had he condemned Phelan and Lawrence to death he would not now be skulking in the political back-yard craving an occasional crust from the | hand of the haughty Sammy Braunhart | or ruining his eyesight gazing at the dizzy height upon which are perched the two conspirators whb brought about his undoing. Jt was during the late lamented Dem- ocratic convention at Sacramento that McNab's hold on the throat of the uni- verse began to slip. He was quick to notice the first symptoms of waning power and in order to delay the fatal moment for the longest possible time he sold his political birthright to Lawrence | and Phelan and trusted to the truth of | the old adage about there being “honor among thieves” to pull him through to the end. It was a fatal error. There is no honor among political thieves of the stripe that stole the organization of the local Democracy. The Whispering Boss, who had planned and carried out the hold up, now found himself at the mercy of his accomplices and in grave danger of being overlooked when it came time to make a division of the spoils. And this is exactly what did oceur. After the McNab-Phelan job-chasers who comprise the Committee of One Hundred had resolved themselves into a nominating convention for the pur- pose of making themselves candidates for office, McNab produced a list of the men whom he wished to have nomi- nated for places on the Board of Super- visors. - A hurried consultation was held and Phelan and Lawrence decided to take such action as would finally convince the Whispering Boss that he had outlived the period of his political usefulness. McNab was accordingly told that under no circumstances would he he permitted to have a hand in nam- ing the supervisorial nominees. Particular reference was made to the names ol John H. Hansen and Charles Wesley Reed which appeared on Mc- Nab's list of would-be Supervisors. The first is an attorney who shares offices with McNab, and the other is a re- former of much experience and sthall success. McNab also wished to have Eugene Deuprey, who rendered himval- uable assistance in the work of stealing the control of the local Democracy, re- ceive the nomination for District At- torney, and also to have Thomas Pin- der placed on the ticket as the nominee for Recorder. To all of these names and some others Phelan and Lawrence would not listen: Then followed a scene that for a time promised to end in a personal encoun- ter between the honorable Mayor and the redoubtable Lawrence on the one side and the Whispering Boss on_the other. McNab turned loose a batch of his choicest epigrams and in return Lawrence threatened to cartoon, lam- poon and spittoon the erstwhile boss until all the world would laugh him to scorn. As a matter of fact, acting under in- structions from Lawrence, the art de- partment of the Examiner did prepare a cartoon of McNab dressed in kilts and posing in an attitude not exactly complimentary to a simon pure re- former. The literary department of the same paper was also instructed to prepare an article describing in detail all of McNab's political deformities, as well as giving prominence to the pur- ity of the motives of the men who had been his pals in the hold-up whereby the Democratic voters of San Francisco ‘were robbed of the right to have a voice in conducting the affairs of their party. Before the cartoon and the accom- panying article could reach the public McNab weakened and signified his re- luctant consent to take his medicine and say nothing. And that is why the cartoon and article did not appear in the columns of the Examiner. And that is why the names of Thomas Pin- der, Eugene Deuprey, John H. Hansen and Charles Weslev ~ ced do not ap- pear on the Democratic ticket. And that is why Gavin McNab, the Whis- pering Boss, is sulking in his tent. The Oakland Alliance. OAKLAND, Oct. 4—The Republican Al- liance held a rousing house warming at its commodious headquarters in Elite Hall to-night, this being the formal debut of this uniformed club.

The Republican Ticket Will Benecfit by the Splitting Up of the Dissatisfied Forces. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Oct. 4. Uneasy lies the head of the Alameda County candidate for office, for it is just dawning upon him that one-half of the mushroom ticket and independent candi- dates have merely been encouraged to run for office by the voracious ‘“push,” who see starvation ahead unless some one “puts up.” The almost limitless list of candidates has had its effect, and every roisterer and heeler in the county is in clover. The breaking up or party lines has materially assisted the plans of the “push” and the same “worker” now feels at liberty to approach a Republican or a Populist with as much confidence as he would a Prohi- bitionist or a Gold Democrat. Many of the county officials who were intending to go duck hunting have post- poned their trips, fearing that the enemy may spread tares among their wheat while they are banging away at canvas- backs. There are some very warm con- tests ta be made before winners can de- clare themselve: John J. Allen, in addi- tion to Harry Dalton, is about the only man who could go to sleep till November 9 and be confident that he would wake up to find himself elected to office. In some of the other contests two or more candi- dates are already claiming the victory, but the knowing politicians are chewin, an enormous amount of hay in silence an sawing large sacks of wood. Charley Spear would feel safer if the car men talked less about “old man Grim”; W. H. Chureh realizes that he has no picnic on his _hands in running for Supervisor, while County Clerk Jordan does not ex- pect more than 200 majority over the mis- cellaneous man, Tom Stoddard. It is probable that all the independent candidates and the dissatisfied fusionists, non-fusionists, Populists, Democrats, Sil- ver Republicans and Gold Democrats will so split the stray vote in all directions and among so many. candidates that the Republican ticket will be elected from top to bottom. The so-called Independent Republicans, who nominated a lot of Democrats, Populists and Prohibitionists, sre not taken very seriously. The legis- lative portion of their ticket is regarded somewhat in the light of a joke, and it is even said that some of the nominees do not care two straws whether their names £0 upon the ballot or not. This evening there were several genu- ine Republican rallies at different points of the city, and the enthusiasm and con- fidence of the party were shown to be in- creflslris. The Fruitvale Republican Club was ad- dressed this evening by Victor H. Met- calf, B. K. Taylor and Joseph Know- land. _J. B. Lanktree has resigned from the ways and means committee- of the County Central Committee. R. C. Potts is now chairman, and W. B. Pringle fllis the vacancy. Supervisor J. R. Talcott was warmly recelved by the Volunteer Fire Depart- ment of Fruitvale at a banquet last night. His method of conducting the work of his office was warmly commended. Last night a farewell banquet was ten- dered to Congressman Hilborn at the Ho- tel Metropole. ~Mr. Hilborn leaves for ‘Washington to-day. John A. Sands, a local attorney and pol- itician, has been appointed Deputy United States District Attorney for Alaska, and will soon leave for his new field of duty. Fighting for the Party Name. The Supreme Court will set in bank this morning to hear the mandamus proceed- ings brought by Carl T. Spelling to com- pel Secretary of State Brown to place his name on the State ticket as the regular Democratic nominee for Congress in the Fourth District instead of James H. Barry, the Populist-Democratic-Silver Re- publican nominee. Spelling and Judge Van Meter, who represent Secretary Brown and Barry, were unabie to agree on a statement of facts, so they met yes- terday and had testimony taken before a Court Commissioner. The oints in- volved will be argued to-day and the con- flicting points of testimony submitted to the court. ill) £ -~y Yes, HUDYAN is the true nerve-builder.
