TH FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1898. DEMOCRATIC SIDE SHOW COMPLETES ITS LABORS The So-Called Non-Parti Only Three of the san Convention Indorses Republican Nomi- nees for Supervisor. Frank J. Symmes Was So Disgosted With the Actions of His Associates That He Withdrew From the Deliberations of the Body. The Non-Partisan Convention, now more familiarly known as the Democrat- ic annex to Boss Phelan’s Mutual Admi- | ration Society of One Hundred Job Chas- | ers, met in Pioneer Hall last night and completed the work of indorsing the ma- jority of the Mayor's political pets and favorites. The went through with one ex- that break was due to the te” ception, misguidec orical efforts of Brother- in- ] n. Police Judge Charles T. Conlan v one of the four candidates recommended -by the judicfary committee for indorsement. Conlan received the nomination of the ‘‘Job chasers” after a hard fight. At one time he was oOff their “slate,” but he was forced back again by influential pol al friends. In order to prove that there was no ill feeling and that the statement subsequently made by the s that it was all a mistake that Con name did not always ap- pear on the job chasers’ programme, Brother-in-law Sullivan arose last night to throw a few bouquets at Conlan. That settled the fate of Conlan. He was beat- William G. Burke, ip to that time as en out for the pl who was looked upor an outsider in the When Chairman tch called the con- wvention to order. Sbarboro introduced a resolution providing for the appoint- ment of a committee of five to examine into the present judiciary system and consider the advisablility of making some recommendations to the next Legislature relative to either increasing the salary of the Judges, in order to Secure more experienced law take places the bench, or else make the term of of- fice extend during good behavior. After a brief discussion the solution was consigned to oblivion, being relegated to the table, the majority. of the members belleving that no practical result would follow the appointment of such a commit- tee. Frank J. Symmes next created a stir by moving that the rule providing that mem- bers of the convention be ineligible to nomination be rescinded as it was not be- ing observed. “There is every reason why the rule should be rescinded,” said Symines, ‘‘for it has been dead for the past forty-eight hours and should be given a decent bur- ial “T don’t see how we can rescind a prin- ciple,”.said George Cumming. “As a sub- stitute,” he concluded, sarcastically, *I think that we should adopt something like this: ‘Resolved, when expedient, the end justifies the means.’ Let us be hon- est. Let us throw principle to the dogs *SECRETARY MILLIKEN READ MAN LEITERS- and come out In the propér light.” Joseph Britton rose to remark that he thought the resolution a very foolish one, whereupon Cumming replied that he thought It eminently proper considering the manner in which the convention had been acting. | withdrawn at his else in this hall,” sald Symmes, “but I don’t see how men of integrity and up- rightness can put themselves on record as they have been doing.

The sub- sequent proceedings had no further inter- est for Symmes, however, and a few min- utes later he left the hall. On motion of Britton J. P. Dunn was assured the support of the delegates in his candidacy for the Board of Equalization. The auditing committee, consisting of E. A. Denicke, E. M. Root, W. H. Crim, Hugo D. Keil and J. R. Howell, was ap- pointed to act as the committee on pu- rity of election. ‘The indorsement of four Police Judges was the next order of business. The ju- diciary committee recommended H. L. Joachimsen, Charles A. Low, Charles T. Conlan and Finlay Cook. The committee further reported that it had also con- sidered the names of E. P. Mogan, W. G. Burke, A. B. Treadwell and Thomas Graham. It was then that Brother-in-law Bulli- van did his bouquet-throwing and slaughtered Conlan. E. J. Le Breton read a letter from Barclay Henley indorsing Burke, and that settled it. If Sullivan had not spoken the letter would not have been introduced and the “slate’” would have gone through. Before balloting commenced the name of Mogan was request. The ballot stood: Joachimsen 36, Low 83, Conlan 26, Cook 36, Burke 29, Treadwell 1 and Graham 2. Joachimsen, Cook, Low and Burke, having received a two-thirds vote, ‘were declared the choice of the conven- tion. There were twelve aspirants for the five nominations for Justice of the Peace—Frank H. Kerrigan, George H. Cabaniss, Thomas F. Dunn, Alfred J. Fritz, Hull McClaughry, James E. Barry, Leonard Stone, G. W. Cook, Percy V. Long, G. C. Groezinger, Frank J. Burke, A. T. Barrett and Frederick Hood. The first five hamed were ‘‘programme’” and were nominated on the first ballot. ‘ine yote stood: Kerrigan 38, Cabaniss 38, Duhn 37, Fritz 29, McClaughry 37, Barfy 8, Stone 18 and Groezinger 5. The other candidates did not receive a vote. There was a contest over the nomina- tion for Supervisor from the First Ward, the rivals being Dr. Thomas W. B. Le- land, Phelan’s candidate, and E. L. Hol- land, the regular Republican nominee. The first ballot stood: Holland 24, Le- land 16; second, Holland 24, Leland 18; third, Holland 22, Leland 18, According to the rules of the convention, after the . “I don't know that I have a broader or more delicata ronsclence than eny “one third ballot, the majority vote nominated. Another ballot was taken and it was a tie vote. Just as the fifth ballot was about to be taken, Delegate Cumming announced that,Leland and his friends had been on the floor canvassing votes among the delegates and he said that he, for one, objected to any such methods. The roll was then called, and Holland received the nomination by a vote of 21 to 19. A motion was then carried amending the rules so that a majority vote instead of a two-thirds vote nominated after the first ballot. There was no opposition to Stewart Menzies, in the Second Ward, L. F. Bart- lett, Third Ward, and Osgood Putnam, “I object to the convention belng lec- ! f \./ A TRIFLE EXCI-TEED et DR, O'DOANELL TURNED DOWN BY THE POPULISTS He Was Too Busy to Qualify.

I That portion of the Popalistic faction dolng business under the name of the Pop- ulist party munictpal convention, and un- der the management of the Griswold- Kinne-Gillespie combfnation, came to- gether last evening at Washington Hall, 35 Eddy street, for the purpose of ballot- ing on the names of those placed in nom- ination on Tuesday evening, and for the further purpose of placing in nomination those who had been induced during the day to submit to indorsement by the con- vention. Chairman Kinne of the nomination com- mittee, reported little doing in the way of collections, and also that the crop of nominees looking for the combination’s indorsement was showing up small in the rea])ln% The fight of the evening—and thanks to the efforts of Delegate Gillespie, it at- tained no alarming proportions—was on Fourth Ward, and the secretary was in-| structed to cast the ballot for them. | Willlam E. Phelps and Isodore Gutte | were the aspirants for the nomination in | the Fifth Ward. The first ballot re-| sultéd: Gutte 21, Phelps 19. On the| second ballot only 39 votes were cast, and | as Gutte received 20 of them he carried | off the nomination. | John Lackmann was nominated by a ris- | ing vote as the nominee for the Sixth| Ward. L. F. Byington from the Seventh | Ward and Julius Platshek from the | Eighth Ward were next nominated with- out opposition. L. Altschul moved that the secretary be | instructed to cast the ballot for Albert | Heyer from the Ninth Ward. D. I Ma- | honey presented the name of Eugene P. Murphy, the Democratic nominee. Seeing | that it would be useless to proceed to | ballot, Mahoney offered no objection when | on motion of Altschul Secretary Milliken was instructed to cast the ballot for Heyer. Jeremiah Deasy from the Tenth Ward and Dr. C. A. Clinton were then nomin- ated without opposition. When the Twelfth Ward was reached, the committee presented the name of P. F. Butler, the Democratic nominee. “I don’t want him,” sald Delegate Cum- ming. “‘but I've got to take my medicine.” | “I wish it understood,” remarked W. H. Crim, “that I won't vote for Mr. Butler.” Cumming and Crim ‘“took their medi- cine,” for the other members instructed the secretary to cast the ballot for Butler. ing more than a Democratic side show was well evidenced last night by the se- | lection of the Supervisors.

Mission Hive No. 18 Is One of the Active Subordinates of the Mis- sion District at This Time. Of the many subordinate fraternal or- ganizations that meet in the Mission dis- trict there are but few, considering the membership, that s more active in the work of spreading the principles of the order and extending the influence thereof than Mission Hive No. 18 of the Ladies of the Maccabees, of which Mrs. Eila Ja- cobs is the lady commander. That hive at this time has a membership of forty- four, and at the last meeting one candi- date’ was Inducted into the mysterigs of the order. 1t is one of the few orders that is managed from the highest officer down to the lowest by ladies. Five candidates will be presented for initiation at the next meeting. Bome time ago the members of this hive, acting for tuemselves, devoted their time, attention and money to_ help the soldiers who were at the camps ot this city. As thelr contrfbutior to the com- fort of the bevs in blue they sent to the camps thirty-four bed ticks, five hundred and_eighty silk camphor bags, besides banda~es and other uscful articles. They felt rewarded for their efforts in that line by the receipt of a letter of grateful ap- preciation signed by the officers of the | several commands they supplied. In the latter part of last month. Mis- ston Hive celebrated its second anniver- sary by an “at home” in Mission Opera.

Center . Seeking Co-operation. ® The special meeting of the Retall Liquor Dealers’ and Barkeepers' Association of Ban Franéisco, held last évening, resulted in a litile excitement. The secretary, C. G. Killer, resigned, and President R. Mueller appointed Charles Meyer to fill the place. A previous application for at- filiation with the Ban Francisco Protec- tlve Association not having been recog- nized, it wes decided, after a hot debate, to instruct the secretaty to once more make application, and upoh refusal that the association act entirelv independent a8 to the indorsement of candidates in the present campaign. | surp: | Jua O’Donnell for Coroner. It was evident from the time that Kinne finished reading his list of nominees that O'Donnell hadn’t dealt when the “buck” was passed to him and the penalty was to be his turn- ing down. Gillespie moved that the attempted Coroner’s name be dropped from the list and that his nomination be returned, as ad failed to appear and qualify during the afternoon. The doctor’s henchmen were taken by rise at_this unexpected move of the “push” and were not prepared for a fight. One promising delegate explained that during the afternoon he had called three times at least upon O’'Donnell and found him unable to leave his office be- cause of a patient who was in need of his constant attention. Giliespie disposed of this valid excuse by insisting upon consideration of his mo- tion to turn down. The motion was ca ried. The plum went to Dr. E. E. Hill, the Democratic nomin The honors of the evening were about evenly divided betw Democrats _and Republicans. Justice of the Peace John A. Carroll, who was brought on the car- pet by Delegate Gillespie, was nominated by acclamation. Kinne's report of business done was the first matter given attention after the minutes had been read. As a result of the work of his commit- tee the following people were placed in nomination: For Auditor, John H. Grady; for As- sessor, John D. Siebe; for Sheriff, Henry Martin; for Coroner, Dr. E. BE. Hill; for Surveyor, Charles S, Tiiton and Bernard Bienfleld; for Superintendent of Publig Schools, ' James Denman; for Judges of Superior Court, Rnodes Borden, Frank J. Murasky and J. B.

NOTES OF ACTORS AND MUSICIANS The Frawley company is giving a per- formance of unusual excellence in the Daly piece, “The Last Word,” which will play all of this week at the Baldwin. Miss Bates has scored a prodigious per- sonal hit as the Russian Vera, and several others of the company are doing record work. But best of all, it is an even per- formance, with just the right atmosphere and spirit. “The Dancing Girl” goes on | LCSX‘Y. week with Frank Mathieu in the cast. Miss Nance O'Neil at the Columbia plays “True to Life” to-night, devoting the rest of the week to “Camille.” Next week, her last, will see an elaborate pro- duction of the ‘“Elizabeth” that Ristori used to play. At the Tivoli “The Bohemian Girl” is linking the week between the d and comic seasons. There will be a matinee Saturday. The comic opera season begins Monday with “The Circus Queen,” a nov- elty to San Francisco. The Alcazar's creditable production of “In Mizzoura” is making out a good sec- ond week. It gives way to “The Wite” on Monday. There is a wild and stirring patriotic plece at the New Comedy, called “The Signal of Liberty,” which deals with the recent Spanish-American unpleasantness and puts the work of the most lurid war correspondent to blush. Morosco’s is doing the usual big busi- ness with ““The Runaway Wife,” a_domes- tic melodrama written by McKee Rankin. Robert Downing, in the arena scene of “The Gladiator,” 1s a strong feature of the new Alhambra bill. At the Orpheum the constant crowds are Jjustified by the usual good show.

Nead and his wife has not by any means abated and the result of the hearing be- fore Judge Conlan next Monday is im- patiently looked for by the persons imme- dlately concerned and others. Yesterday W. E. Brown, a rancher in Santa Clara County, near Gilroy, called upon Judge Conlan’s prosecuting attor- ney and told him he was a cousin of Nead's divorced wite. Before coming to this State he kept a grocery in Parker, He said he never met Nead while 8. D. in Sioux_ City, but he knew that Rev. I c Milburn, Nead's father-in-law, used to be continually getting him out of scrapes. Brown came to this city in the expec- tation that Nead's wife was his cousin, not knowing that they had been divorced, and when he learned his mistake he did not_call upon Nead. “‘One thing that we all commented on,” sald Brown, “was the fact that Nead never cared to call upon his wife’s rela- tives. I remember she called at my store in South Dakota once and she told me her husband was outside in a buggy, as he would not come in with her. 1 went outside and saw his back and that was the nearest glimpse I ever got of him. If I had time to get an answer from my aunt at Cedar Rapids before Monday am sure you would get some interesting information about him, but it is too late now."” —_—————————— AN UNHAPPY COUPLE. James Prendergast, a traveling sales- man, and his wife aired their troubles in Judge Low’s court yesterday to a large and interested audience. They made charges against each other of the vilest and most infamous nature, and the wife became hysterical. Prendergast was released from the County Jail Monday after serving a sen- tence of six months for beating his wife. They met that day and the wife alleged that he threatened to kill her, and swore out a warrant for his arrest. While he was in jail she wrote him sarcastic let- ters that she had gnother lover and did not care for him any more. Prendergast promised that he would never speak to his wife again nor molest her in any way, and the Judge dismissed the case. 2 —_——————— Elected Church Officers.
