Dr. Rowell on assuming the dutles of his position said there was no bet- ter way to estimate a man’s worth than that of accepting the estimate of the community in which the man lived. No man stood higher fn the Los An- geles community than Henry T. Gage. In this campaign Mr. Gage was the representative of 4 grand poiltical ence. The applause of the vast concourse ras intense and long continued as the ndard-bearer stepped forward in re- sponse to the welcome. Mr. Gage in onening his address invited the atten- tion of his hearers to the noble admin- i of President McKinley. and Ty rked that sectional lines had been obliterated and the people of the whole | land united in one sentiment of pat- riotic tion to the country. Mr. Gage acknowledged the courage of Jef- | fersonian Dem: s, men who were | devoted to certain principles of govern- rent which they believed would pro e the best interests of the govern- | nent. paid a tribute to the bravery of the Populists who left the old party hoping to better the conditions of pub- lic affairs. As Populists and Demo crats had been betrayed by fusion he pected that many of them would sup. port the Republican cause in the con- test to be decided next month. Tn the course of his masterly speech the standard bearer exposed the dan- gers of the single tax scheme. He re- viewed the railroad settlement, show- ing the double dealing of the Little Giant in connection with the adjust. ment. Maguire's assault upon the integrity of the delegates to the Republican State Convention was eloquently re- | pelled. Maguire’s assertion that the publication of the successful nominees | of the Republican Convention in The | Call in advance of their nomination was proof of railroad domination was cleverly met. It was eaid in reply by | Mr. Gage that The Call announced two | ks before the Democratic Conven- tion met that Maguire would be the nominee. Was not that proof, accord- | ing to Maguire logic, that the Southern Paci Railroad dominated the Demo- | ratic convention? | The audience listened with close at-| tention to Mr. ( review of his own ca in California from boyhood until | the present hour, and his consistent | course of opposition to railroad monop- | In Fres- | 0, as in other places, the manifest sin- | cerity and veracity of the Republican | standard-bearer won the favor of his audience.

It indicated the 5 and readiness of Gage yposition. While he wa ndling Maguire's single tax rrington ta; Goldstel record he read from one of Maguire's | G.

After a short run over the well-built Valley road through beautiful and productive region of California the s burbs of Fresno were ched. and inspiring y band the Ral waiting thrc had arrived. on were soon seated in comfortable equipage &nd trusted themselves to the skill of Commodore n G. Berry as the driver of the four horses a the v le. The partv was landx'd‘ without shap at the entrance to | the Grand ntral Hotel. In the pro- cession which follo arriage and marched to the music of the band was the National Republican League Club of Fresno, ) strong. | Meanwhile a vast crowd of cheering | citizens had assembled at the corner of | Mariposa and J streets. The shouts for | Gage were so earnest and prolonge that the standard bearer came to the balcony of the hotel and in a brief speech thanked the multitude for the magnificent demonstration. He did not take the greeting as a tribute to him- self, but saw in the demonstration abiding loyalty of the people to the| principles and purposes of the F can party. Excusing himself from ex- tended remarks on the ground that he would speak at length to-night on po- litical issues of the day he sought an hour's rest. He was soon adv! wire from the Republican State Committee that additional daylig gagemerts had been made for him in his triumphal journey through the no- | ble San Joaquin Valle: The commit- tee must think that Mr. Gaee is gifted with more than the powers of human endurance, for they keep tacking on ex- tra visits to cover towns not em-i braced in the original plan for the tour of the valley. If a halt is not soon call- | ed the standard bearer will succumb to | the tax on his physical resources, and | some of the night engagements will be canceled to afford him a chance to re- new his strengtb. The cordiality which the people of all parties extend to Mr. Gage, the un- bounded enthusiasm of the masses and | the remarkable unity of the Republican | leglons excite the comment of all| classes. If successive demonstrations | of popular confidence, growing in mag- | nitude as the campaign advances, can | be accepted as an index of the candi- | date’s strength, the surprise of the November election will be the enormous majorities for the candidates on the| Republican State ticket. | Right here in Fresno where Bryan received more than 1100 majority, the | most conservative Republicans are con- | fident that the State fusion ticket will not get a majority of 500. Other Re- | ublicans, whose judgment may be in- luenced by cheering reports, insist that QGage will carry Fresno County. They | cite the fact that 3500 names have been | added to the list of registration since | 1896, and that the increase is largely | Republican. Complete harmony and | extraordinary activity in the conduct of the campaign on behalf of the Re- publican cause strengthen the hope of | vietory in this county. From 4 o’clock in the afternoon until | 8 o'clock this evening the crowds that | thronged the streets of Fresno grew in density. The people came from Selma, Fowler, Sanger, Porterville, Clovis, Pol- | lasky, Madera, Firebaugh, Mendota, Toll House and from the orchards, vineyards and ranches of this famously rich region of California. | The Barton Opera House, packed to the limit of its capacity, did not afford | room to accommodate one half the | number of people that came to the doors, hoping to gain admission. The sressure to get in was so great that he doors had to be closed. { The earnest and intelligent audience was called to order by Judge H. Z. | Austin, chairman of the Republican; County Central Committee. He named as chairman of the assemblage Dr. | Chester Rowell, Republican nominee | for State Senator in the Sixteenth Dis- | trict. She long Mst of vice-presidents | b | the subjects discussed by the speaker. xample: A man buys from the Gov- | ment a quarter-section of land on he frontier.

Um-; when the land becomes worth | | | | e ,000, and that sum Is offered, I| rt that the honest home-builder should receive the reward of his toil.” A mighty roar of prolonged applause | and cheers thrice repeated signified the delight of the audience and indicated the abhorrence with which the people view the odious single-tax scheme. | When the applause subsided some one | shouted, “Put him out,” referring to | the ‘man who had interrupted. | No, no, no,” responded Mr. Gage, | who quickly went to the rescue of the | interrupting citizen. The standard- | bearer paid a compliment to the manli- | and sincerity of the man who ked the question and desired that the right of the humblest to seek inform: tion should be respected. The introduction of Hon. E. F. Pres- ton was the signal for another burst | of applause. He began his forcible and | L) | eloquent address by a remark that he | did not speak as the attorney of the Valley Road, but as an American citi- zen who valued the right and had the | rage to speak his sentiments to his fellow citizens. Denial was given of | the rumor that the Valley Road was | selling out to the Southern Pacific. Mr. | Preston referring to the campaign of | calumny, deception and abuse, sald the latest assertion that the Valley Road was sold out was a le. | Tremendous cheering was the re-l sponse to Mr, Preston’s pointed utter: ance. “Would you like to hear the whistle of the Santa Fe in Fresno?” asked Mr. Preston. A thousand people shouted, “Yes.” The. speaker then said that the engi- | neers were in the mountains inspecting the Tejon Pass as a preliminary step to the construction of the Valiey Road from Bakersfield to Los Angeles. The talked-of oppression of the masses by the classes engaged the no- tice of Mr. Preston. In this regard the | speaker advanced the assertion that no such oppression exists in the United | States. Single tax was also discussed. The Intelligent and convincing address | of the eloquent orator deeply interested the audience and evoked at frequent in- tervals the applause of his hearers. At the conclusion of Mr. Preston’s ad- dress the vast meeting at the Barton | Opera House adjourned with three tre- | mendous cheers for Gage and Neff. The second or overflow meeting at Courthouse Park, composed of an as- | sembly of 1000 people who could not | gain admission to the opera house, was | as earnest and enthusiastic as the as- semblage indoors. John C. Moore presided at tne open- air demonstration. It was exceedingly fortunate for the Republican cause that Major C. W. Kyle, an eloquent cam- | paign speaker, happened to be in Fresno | this evening. His oratorical abilities were utilized to entertain and Instruct the people assembled at the park. Ma- jor Kyle spoke for one hour, dwelling on the issues that engross the public mind in this campaign. Territorial ex- pansion, the achievements of American | valor on land and sea, the excellence of | McKinley's administration and the per- ils of Maguire's single tax dogmas were The audience cheered the expressions of tepublican sentiment. Words of praise to_old-line Democrats evoked applause. M. V. Ashbrook of Fresno also ad- dressed the open-air. meeting. His able, clear and comprehensive talk added to the interest of the meeting. | Much regret was expressed that Mr. | Gage could not address the overflow meeting, but the plain fact is that the standard-bearer has reached the limit of human endurance in speech-making and hand-shaking. Many people came from vineyards and farms twenty-five miles distant to hear him and their dis- appointment is keen. 3 The rushing schedule which the State Central Committee has adopted through its lack of judgment or incorrect in- formation compels Mr. Gage to leave Fresno at dawn to-morrow. Republican enthusiasm to-night 1s un- bounded. The great outpouring of the | masses s the talk of the citv, | or golng. MAGUIRE SPEAKS AT ANGELS CAMP Throws Mud Freely at All Republicans. ACCUSATIONS AGAINST CALL SAYS IT IS A RAILROAD ORGAN AND FIXED STATE TICKET. Claims Single Tax Is Not an Issue, and Offers to Instruct Mr. Gage on the Sub- Ject. Special Dispatch to The Call. ANGELS CAMP, Oct. 13.—Congress-] man Maguire addressed a large and en- thusiastic meetihg at 2 o’clock to-day. He spoke for one and a half hours, but applause was very scarce. Hlis whole ddress was centered on a few ideas which formed themselves into regular mud-slinging whenever Mr. Gage or the Republican platform was mentioned. He accused The Call of being a railroad organ and of having been a party to fixing a slate at the Republican con- vention at Sacramento. The single tax question, he claimed, was not an issue, and that it was simply in a very crude state as yet. He said that Gage was but a figurehead in the Republican party and Barnes was really the only speaker out and he was a thorough railroad man. Gage and Barnes were altogether ignorant of the principles of Congressional proceedings and altogether unfit to speak upon the single tax proposition. After the cam- paign he said he would condescend to teach these representatives of the Re- publican party what was lacking in their education in matters political pro- vided they should devote three months to the careful study of the matter pre- viously. He continually coupled the names of Lincoln and Jefferson and insisted upon it that they both stood alike for De- mocracy when any important issue was at stake. The silver question was but briefly mentioned, and the Nicaragua canal question was adopted as one by which he could dominate the Republi- cans as a lot of scheming politicians attempting to throw this matter en- tirely into the hands of the railroads. Mr. Hutchison followed Maguire and spoke very briefly. He lauded Maguire to the skies and held him up as a model politician to all people. Maguire's reception was not a lively one. He was met just outside of the town by an apology of a band and no committee was to be seen when he ar-| cheers | rived at the hotel., But two were heard during his whole stay in the town. The people are freely ex- pressing their indignation at the idea of having Maguire speak here in the day time, when it is the most important place in the county politically, and a partial canvass made that this proceeding will be the means of losing many votes to the Democratic cause. RYAN AND BRUSIE SPEAK AT AUBURN AUBURN, Cal, Oct. 13—Frank D. Ryan, Republican nominee for Congress, Second District, spoke to a large audi- ence to-night in the new City Hall. Bon- fires burned, the bas.* played and the Flambeau Club para..d amid much en- thustasm. Mr. Ryan discussed the lssues in a manner that carried conviction to the minds of his hearers, and he was frequently applauded. His reference to the glorious war achievements of the present administration was well-timed, and the theory of protection and the great benefits which it has brought to the wool man and the lumber man struck home. Mr. Ryan promised to treat tho farmer and the miner impartially. He | was followed by Judson Brusie, who dis- coursed eloquently upon State and na- tional issues, and proved himself one of the best speakers on the stump. Judging from present indlcations Mr. Ryan will get a large vote in Placer. issiaigtnes Fusionists Have an Organ. EUREKA, Oct. 13.—The Eureka Jour- nal, a Democratic evening dally, with W. L.

Since the Standard turned Re- ublican, two vears ago, the Democrats ave been without an organ here. COULD NOT SURVIVE HIS SWEETHEART'S DEATH Joseph Fleiss Commits Suicide at Santa Cruz by Shooting Himself. SANTA CRUZ, Oct. 13—Joseph Fleiss, committed suicide to-day by shooting himself in the head. He came here from Fairbanks, Arizona, eight months ago. and opened a cigar store, but soon closed love with a young up. Ilelss was in woman in the Fast. =When she died he began to grow melancholy. He threat- ened sulcide several times, and also suf- fered from heart trouble. Fleiss left $2000 in Government bonds and $380 in bank. He bequeathed $300 to the First Chris- tian Church because it was needed to complete the structure, although he was not a regular attendant. He left checks for the amount and 3% for burlal ex- penses. He was 29 years old. JUDGE WARREN LEFT A PECULIAR LETTER CHICO, Oct. 13.—This morning the Coro- ner searched the papers of Judge C. G. ‘Warren, who committed sulcide yester- day, and found the following note to his wife: Dear Mary: You have been the best wife a man ever had. For elght years I have lived a life in death.

Mr. OPPOSED TO POLL TAXES CRATS ARRANGE A TOUR DEMO A OF THE COUNTY. Independents Will Not in Any Way Interfere With the State Ticket of the Repub- licans. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, Oct. 13. Yet one more platform, containing nine- teen distinct “fssues,” has been placed be- fore the public. It is the document upon which William J. Schmidt relies to place him where he will have something to say about the laws made by the next Legis- lature. Mr. Schmidt {s an independent candidate for the Assembly from the Forty-ninth District. A. A. McKeon was nominated at the Republican convention for this office, and in addition to Mr. Schmidt, John Teague is also making a race for the Assembly. So many candi- dates rather complicate matters and if they all go before the voters on election day, there will be a chance for the Demo- cratic candidate to win. It is belleved, however, that all three men will not de- cide to make the race. Two years ago Oscar Breiling was elect- ed by the Republicans tn the Forty-ninth, by a majority of about 500. Four years ago the two parties ran so close that there was a contest and the Legislature decided in favor of the Republican by one vote. Mr. Schmidt has concluded that some- thing new Is needed to influence public opinion, so he has issued a platform which he says is not so long as the State Re- publican platform nor so short as the county declaration. Schmidt eulogizes President McKinley, would like to see a Republican succeed Stephen M. White, would abolish the poll tax, would reduce probate fees and would entirely eliminate bosses from all kinds of conventions. He would also abolish one of the Justice's courts of the city of Oakland. He declares that there are 28,000 persons In this county who are sub- Jeet to pay poll tax, and only 11418 ‘“that ave been required to pay poll tax this year—mostly poor people and employes of firms and corporations.” Mr. Schmidt's contalns figures which are of more than ordinary interest. It says Water companies furnishing water to the in- habitants of towns and cities for domestic u: are required by law to present annually to the legislative body whose duty it is to fix the water rates a sworn statement of the value of their property and plant. In so doing, the water companies are not slow to appreciate the fact that the greater the value<they put upon their works the greater will be the percentage or income derived from their investment: hence such statements invariably show that the"water companles have invested fabulous sums in thel works, so that the City Council or othcr go erning body will be induced thereby to allow @ reasonable rate of interest upon their pre- tended investment. The last sworn statement furnished by the two water companies of this city show the property and plant of the Oak- land Water Company to be of the enormous ), while the last sworn state- ment of the Contra Costa Water Company sghows its property and plant to be of the value of $8,500,000, making $12,000,000 as the valuation of both companies. This sum of $12,000,000 con- stitutes the basis upon which water rates are imposed upon the people, and the sum ups which, as an Investment, a fair rate of intcr- est is allowed, as shown by the present exor- | bitant water rates. It wiil be interesting for the people who are required to pay water rates on an alleged in- vestment of $12,000,000 to know that the Oak- land Water Company pays taxes only upon an assessed valuation of $584,475, and that the balance of the property of this company, to wit, $4,915,525, escapes assessment and taxation. Also that the Contra Costa Water Company pa. an assessed valuation of $1,079, 125, and of roperty as shown by its sworn statement $5,420,875 escapes assessment and taxation. The total amount thus escaping taxa- tion is $10,335,400. F. W. Sawyer, the candidate for District Attorney on the fusion and independent tickets, says that his remarks at Lorin on Tuesday night had no reference what- ever to Mr. Metcalf. He says he had no idea of attacking Mr. Metcalf, but ho wished to impress his hearers 'with the fact that the Congressional fight has nothing to do with the county fight, and that although Mr. Metcalf should fail of election, it would not necessarily mean that Metcalf would thereby be at a disadvantage in Congress.

The Municipal Reform League was called to order yvesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock at its headquarters at 632 Market street. Charles G. Nagle, the president of the league, presided. Varlous resolutions advocating public improvements were read and adopted by the league. The president then declared nominations were in order. John D. Siebe was, after a ballot, de- clared the nominee for Assessor. Wil- liam A. Deane was nominated for the of- fice of County Clerk. Edward Holland was nominated for Supervisor from the First Ward. Speeches were then made on behalf of various candidates, and some very severe criticisms indulged in. Among the most sarcastic was a speech by A. P. Murphy | of the Thirty-sixth District, who sald: “Some of the Gelegates vesterday were full of sympathy for Mayor Phelan in | his lost fight, and called the chief execu- | tive of the city & political wreck and said he had the ‘big-head.’ > | “The gentlemen made a migtake. There | is no man in the city to-day better satis- | fled with himself and his career than | James Phelan. He cares nothing for what | the people say ebout him, because when he wants to see a great man above all criticism_he looks in the glass, and it | reflects Phelan. And thus wrapped up in | the consideration of his own virtues, and gazing from the elevated plateau made by Phelan brick: urrounded by a Phelan | fence and paint with Phelan paint, he surveys the weaklings beneath as at an immeasurabie dis . and, like a woman, turns up his nose. | _“The 'big head’? By the ghost of Julius Caesar! He is the greatest man in the three continents, that is, regarding him under Phelan’s plug hat."” The league then adjourned until to-day. | | PATTON A GREAT FAVORITE A Series of Mass-Meetings Arranged in Order to Satisfy the Popular Demand. That Charles L. Patton, the Republi- can candidate for Mayor, is gaining in | strength and popularity daily is now be- | ing conceded by even the closest friends | of his opponent. It is the intention of }the managers of the local campaign to bring this growing popularity to a cul- minating point by a series of popular mass-meetings to be held each evening next week, beginning on Monday even- | ing. The demands for Mr. Patton’s pres- | ence at district gatherings have become | 80 numerous that it was found that the |only way in which they could be | satisfied was to arrange for central gath- | erings in which voters from all parts of | the city could participate. The first of the mass-meetings will be held on Monday evening in Drew's Hall, 121 New Montgomery street. Mr. Patton |and D. A. McKinlay will be the principal speakers of the evening, although man of the candidates on the local ticket will also be present and will make brief ad- | dresses. ~ On Tuesday evening the same | | speakers will address a mass-meeting at | Cyclery Hall at Haight and Stanyan | streets. On Wednesday evening they will | be the central figures at a grand mass- meeting to be held in Metropolitan Tem- ple. On that evening D. A. McKinlay | will make an extended address, an event that has been looked forward to with greatrln‘t‘erest. tl% he is conceded to be one of the most forceful stump s; | in the State D Abectee LOUD AT REDWOOD CITY. Will Join With D. A. McKinlay in Addressing a Grand Mass- Meeting To-Night. Hon. Eugene F. Loud and D. A. Me- Kinlay will address a mass-meeting of cit- izens at Redwood City to-night. Prepa- rations have been made for a great gath- ering, and it is expected that the meeting will be one of the most successful of the resent campaign. Congressman Loud ntends to tell the voters of San Mateo County the baro facts with reference to the work done by Maguire in Congress, and the story will no doubt be a reve- lation to many who have hitherto lis- tened to the tooting of the little pinto | glant’s horn. D. A. McKinlay will pay particular at- tention to Maguire and the single tax question.

The merits of the candidates who have been already named by other conven- tions are discussed by the investigating committee of the party, and only those are indorsed who are believed to be worthy of support at the polls on election | day. The friends of Boss Phelan worked hard to secure his indorsement, but the com- mittee, after due deliberation, concluded | that the Interest of the city would be best subserved by the election of Mr. Patton. The fact that he has never before been actively engaged in politics and that he aid not have any ‘‘sideshow,” like the so- called Non-Partisan convention, to make a fight for him, adds greatly to the strength of his indorsement. That the in- vestigating committee acted wisely in its choice between Boss Phelan and Mr. Pat- ton was evidenced by the unanimous vote of the convention in favor of the latter. The convention also indorsed D. Murphy for District Attorney, BEdward Holland for Supervisor of the First Ward, Howard Black for Supervisor of the Third Ward and Dr. Josef Edward Head and E. H. Gedge for School Directors. DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS. A Series of Demonstrations Arranged for tne Various Assembly Districts.
