THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1898. REPUBLICAN TICKET WAS INDORSED. Rousing Reception Given to Charles L. Patton, D. J. Murphy and D. E. McKinlay at Drew’s Hall. The Residents of the Twenty-Eighth District Turn Out in Great Numbers to Issues Discussed by the Candidates. “| want to say one thing gation to them. 0000000000000 0000000000000000000000 to you: That | ows my nomina- g tion to no boss or clique or corporation, and | am under no obli- o If you elect me Mayor of this city there is no © man, no corporation and no body of men who can come to me g and define what my public acts Q000000 00C0C0000000000000C000000C00000000000C One of the largest and most enthu- | the slastic & s held in ever Twenty-eight S8 rict was held last evening Hall on New Montgomery street, under auspices of the Republican County Committe The hall was entirely too small to ommodate all those who wished to hear the issues of the cam- paign discussed, and several hundred people were compelled to stand. They remained to the close, however, and cheered and applauded until their throats became hoarse and their hands became sore from clapping. audience, which was an appre- ciative one, was composed of mechanics and artisans living in the district, and m of them were accompanied by th wives and daughters. The women folks appeared to be as deeply inter- ested in the speeches as were the men and not a telling point passed with- out their joining in the applause. When Charles L. Patton entered the hall three cheers were proposed for “the next Mayor of San Francisco,” and they were given with a will. Mr. Patton acknowledged the kindly recep- tion given him, and when he was in- troduc was minutes before he heard so great was the plause He spoke as follov and gentle- u as an aspirant It is the highes this muni ir power to make. now whom you are voting questions.

Morgenstern paid his respects to the Democratic party in general and James D. Phelan In particular. “The Democrats,” said he, “have in- \ted a campaign of dirt and mud E ing, but it will not avail. Mayor Phelan has also been indulging in some unfounded and unwarranted remarks. After nominating himself, irresponsible ker that he is, he wants to succeed imself in office. The people thorough- erstand him. He is not honest in 1 acts or speeches, and when saturday night he declared that the the Democrats did not hold a ary was because there was no pri- v law, he told a bold and vicious He knew well that the Porter pri- mary law is in exlstence, but he didn’t lare hold a primary, for he knew that * would then be unable to control the ention and renominate himself. He is job-chasers knew that the party would not give them control of the delegates. He is now posing as the workingman's friend, while a short time ago he declared that $2 a day was too much here for a laborer. There is not a reputable newspaper in the town supporting him. True, he has the sup- {.}v‘.:[ urhlhle Bulletin, but I have it on authority of one o; e Pr'xll:i IR EIA f his friends that 2. McKinlay then entered in & masterly discussion of the sc:?e antg 1 by Chairman J. J. Donahue it | could | 1| Attorney J. D. Sullivan Exposes An- public, and | Hear the Campaign shall be.”’ ° national issu He said that never be- | fore in many years had the prospects of the United States been as bright as they are to-da The improvement of the times, he said, was due to the able | and patriotic administration of a Re- | publican President and a Republican | Congre: “Labor is now finding employment,” | said he, “and .capital is finding invest- | ments. The confidence of the peoble | has been restored, and with that confi- | | dence prosperitv_has arrived.” | In conclusion, he said that Magulre | | was trying to make the fight on the | railroad issue, and was inviting the| people to examine his record. “I also | | ask the people to study his record,” said McKinlay, “for I am certain that they will never elect Governor of Cali- | fornia an advocate of free trade. which | means free labor; a man who favors cheap money, and a man who is in| favor of the repudiation of all our hon- | est debts.” | The James M. Troutt quartet then| sang a campaign song, and for an en- core rendered the “‘Star-Spangled Ban- | ner,” while the audience rose and| cheered. | D. J. Murphy said that the platform of the Republican party was one of the best platforms ever put before the | people by any party. “The pavers of | the opposition are forced to admit the | fact,” said he, “for they cannot find a | single flaw in it. As to the candidates| | on our State and local ticket. for hon- esty, learning, ability, integrity and manhood, they will compare favorably | with the candidates of any other party. | What can be said against Charles L. | Patton? Nothing. It is true that he wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth, nor did he inherit a fortune to squander in an attem:* to corrupt the | public. Never during his life was he gullty of an unjust or dishonorableact.” Judge Murphy then paid high compli- ments to the other candidates on the ticket and referred to the attack made on him by the Examiner. ‘Personal abuse,” said he, “has always the ten- dency to bring out a man's friends. That has been my experience. The attack made on me Sunday served to bring out my friends to-day, and, thank God, I have hundreds of them. If there is anything that appeals to men’s spirits, it is detestation of slan- der, libel, abuse and lies. I can face my fellow men and say that at no time did 1 ever betray my country or flee to a foreign clime and swear alle- giance to a foreign potentate. ~When I was defending and supporting the flag of our country, many years Aago, there was a certain man, whom I will name some other time, plotting treason against it. When he was discovered he fled, like the traitor he was, to avoid Alcatraz. I never was treacher- ous to my party or a party nominee, nor did I ever bolt my party when I was defeated for a nomination. This certain man will more fully hear from me when I get my dates and data at hand.” “Why don’t you name him now?” ex- claimed one of his auditors. “Every one knows he means Henley,” answered one of the crowd. “I will name him in due time,” re- plied Judge Murphy, smilingly, “but at present I will keep the name a pro- found secret.” The crowd laughed at the profound secret. “1 never wrote letters to my friends,” continued the speaker, “‘asking them to stab that noble Democrat, Tom Thomp- son of Santa Rosa, in the back because I couldn’t go to Congress a third time. I promise you that before this cam- paign is over I will tell you more about this man, who now has the effrontery to ask American citizens to vote for him. No man shall attack my honesty and integrity, and those people living in glass houses will soon find me on the roof exposing the skeleton that is hid- den below.” Charles F. Curry spoke of the honesty and Integrity of the candidates on the local ticket and predicted their election. “We all know and love Charlie Pat- ton,” said he, “and we are going to elect him. Mr. Phelan doesn’t like me. Well, I guess I can stand that from a man who thinks that $40 a month is too much to pay lamplighters and that $70 a month is too much to pay janitors at the New City Hall. His Majesty, James D. Phelan, also says that I tell ifes. I think that he is a perjured liar. The records will show that he swore in the County Clerk’s office that his father’s estate was s6 much, but when he went before the Assessor he only made it one-third the amount.” Julius Kahn, nominee for Congress in the Fourth District, urged the audience to support the entire State and local ticket, and thus indorse the administra- tion of President McKinley. The Waterman Sisters rendered sev- eral campaign songs, after which brief addresses were made by C. S. Laumeis- ter, Henry S. Martin, 1. J. Truman, William A. Deane, Martin Fragley, Dr. W. J. Hawkins, Charles A.Low, Thomas F. Grahamas H. L. Joachimsen, W. H. Phelps, John Lackmann, Frank H. Ker- rigan, Joseph E. Barry and A. P. Black. The meeting then adjourned with (;:'\ek‘-r(s for the success of the Republican cket. HERE ARE THE FACTS. other Yellow Journal Falsehood. The following communication from At- torney J. D. Sull n is self-explanatory and is all that is needed to brand the yel- low falsehood published yesterday in the columns of the Third-street organ: SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17, 1598, Zditor Call: In a morning paper of vesterday anpears the statement from Mr. R. McElroy, that he paid, $300 to J. D, Suilivan for waiving the Public Aa- ministrator's right to act as administrator of the estate of Susan E. Kerby, de- ceased. “The facts are these: Mrs. Kerby left a large amount of property in this city. | | She_had no relatives in fhis State. Mr. | McElroy requested a favor that he be | allowed to administer, to the exclusion of | | the Public Adminisirator. The latter walived his rig.us to letters, and the su of $300 was pald at that time to me as attorney e “McElroy was thereupon appointed ad- | ministrator and he closed up the probate proceedings by distribution. “Now for the record: The final account rator McElroy, in the estate . Kerby, shows that he charged $1423 45 as commissions, and his attor- neys were allowed a fee of $500, By waiving his right to his friend Mc- the Public Administrator was out the sum of $1423 45, which sum he would have earned had he administered upon . Very respectfully, tuisfest J.p'D. SULLIVAN.” —_—————————— Thomas F. Graham Club. . A meeting of the Thomas F.

PATTON RECEIVED WITH ENTHUSIASM. The Hefter Was Down on the Big ° Bills for a Turn, but Did Not Transptre. Two thousand members and friends of the Independent Municipal Club paid a splendid tribute last evening to the worth and popularity of Republican nominees when Hon. Charles L. Patton and Julius Kahn appeared before them at Odd Fel- lows’ Hall. For full three minutes cheer after cheer compelled the most expan- sive of Kahn smiles and the most digni- fied of Patton bows. It was the warmest expression of non-partisan tendencies and a bright presage of non-partisan entente— as James H. Barry discovered when later he appeared, and after having not felt the pulse of his audlence, followed Mr. Kahn to the rostrum. It was the announced plan of the club, under whose auspices last night's demon- stration was held, to have present the nominees of each pArty, that the oppo- nents for the several offices might have | an opportunity of debating the questions of the campalgn. The features of the evening were to be the speeches of Kahn and 'Barry, who oppose each other for Congressional honors in the Fourth Dis- trict, and of Mr. Patton and Mr. Phelan. The arrival of Messrs. Kahn and Patton | interrupted the opening address of Pres- ident Charles A. Reynolds. He was again interrupted by the arrival of Mr. Barry, but the Hefter failed to interrupt any- thing, ignoring his promise he failed to arrive, though during the evening a note | was brought in saying that he was speak- ing at another meeting and would drop in as soon as through. Mr. Patton was introduced as the first speaker of the evening. Barry hadn't ar- rived when he began and did not get the tip that the speaker's reception would have given him. It was a repetition of the initial greeting, and Mr. Patton’'s be- ginning was materialy delayed by trying to make himself heard. Mr. Patton’s speech was bluntly, hon- estly characteristic of the man. Sald he: “In coming before you as a candidate for Mayor you are entitled to know who 1 am and what I am and how I stand on municipal questions. It is my deter- | mination in this campaign to talk to my fellow citizens fearlessly and truthfully. “I am unequivocally in favor of the confirmation by the Legislature of the new charter that the people of San Fran- cisco have elected to live under, and it is my opinion that no man, nu body of men or any corporation, no matter what thelir interests, have the right to prevent your living under ft. “If elected your Mayor I shall conduct municipal business as you and I would conduet a business of our own. I be- lleve that this city can be run by a tax levy of $1 on every $100 of the $350,000,000 of valuation. I shall try to do so. “I am in favor of public ownership of public utilities, which, under our new charter, will be a glorious possibility. Un= der the present consolidation act we can= not successfully fight the allied corpora- tions—Spring Valley, the gas companies and the raflroad. “The Democrats are telling you that they are the only friends of the laboring man. In our platform there is a clause that provides that all public contracts shall provide for $2 for each day of eight hours’ work, while there are plenty of Democrats who think $30 per month enough for any man who works. The laboring man is as good as any of God's people, and we propose to give him the same right and means to live and rear and educate his family that any other man has. “If I am elected Mayor I want to say to you now that no man, no corporation, no boss or set of bosses owns or controls my acts. With you and to you and my- self alone 1 will be responsible for the safekeeping of my trust. I thank you.” Theodore F. Bonnet, Demgeratic nomi- nee for Sheriff, followed Mr. Patton, and in a short speech pointed out that though only a year in public office his record there should show his capabllity for the honest and efficlent administration of the affairs of the office he seeks. George W. Collins, Republican asplrant to Supervisorial honors in the Eighth ‘Ward, demonstrated in a short speech that he was not over-strong on oratory, but that his intentions and abllity for honest work were standard, and the au- dience testified to its faith In him with three lusty cheers and a tiger. Judge Borden's explanation that, belng a Democratic aspirant to refill his own office, he would not so far ignore neces- sary dignity as to indulge in political forensics, was Interrupted by the arrival of James H.. Barry, who, It was an- nounced, had risen from a sick bed and walked to the meeting. Mr. Barry was cheered to the echo and took his seat next Julius Kahn, after a hearty handshake. Mr. Kahn was then announced to speak and with his vote- winning smile on active duty he pro- ceeded to do so. “California has demonstrated to the TUnited States that in patriotism and loy- alty to the Government she is first of all the States. When President McKinley made that call for volunteers California was first in the field with a regiment. And the regiment is there yet for the need for it is not over. The war that has made Mr. McKinley known the world over as a great statesman still takes his time and attention and for that reason it is neces- sary and due to him that you send to Congress men who are in touch and sym- pathy with him. As Abraham Lincoln said In his homely way, ‘It is not wise to swap horses while crossing a stream.’ “With our new trade relations it is of double importance to us. We want Amer- jcan ships and American sallors in the| Philippines and on the seas. We want also a cable, and we want one end of it anchored in San Francisco and the other across the Pacific. We want San Fran- cisco manufacturers to have a chance to btd on supplies for near-by Indian agencies, and we want an appropriation for our Postoffice. We want money to dredge our rivers, so that competition with the railroad may be possible, and to get these things you should send a man to Congress who will not be with the minority, and who, through his sym- pathy with the administration, can de- mand these things.” Mr. Barry came to the front after Mr. Kahn, and after passing the glad hand to his opponent, said: “Mr. Kahn has sald that I have alleged that all of the Republican nomlinees are creatures of the railroad. I did not. I sald that nearly all were.” After a rea- sonable pause for the applause that should have come, Mr. Barry continued: “If it 1s only by a Republican Congress that all of these things Mr. Kahn speaks of can be got, why has not Mr. Loud got these things in the last two years? If the Republicans in Congress were not raflroad hirelings why did Huntington pay all of his attention to Maguire and never worry about Loud? Because Loud, my friends, is a creature of the railroad.” (Excited cries of “No, no,” “You're off,” etc.) “Henry T. Gage"— but what .Barry had to say of Henry T. Gage was stopped by a wild salvo of cheers that nearly left the Odd Fellows’ building roofless. Barry compromised at the end of it with: “That's right, cheer; if I were a Repub- lican I'd cheer, too.” But Barry took his cue. There was no more railroad and no more charges agalnst Loud. It was simply a temperate, bloodless wind-up such as the audience had a right to ex- pect from a man just off a sick bed. Chairman Reynolds here called atten- tion to the fact that the Hefter was down for a turn at his latest specialty and that he would not adjourn the meet- ing until a reasonable time had elapsed. The lapse was filled in with “timely remarks” by a half dozen nominees to minor offices, and the meeting was closed, sans the presence of the hefter. —_————————— DEMOCRATS AT EAST MISSION. Maennerbund Hall the Sceme of the Congregtion of Office- Seekers. The party that is never at a loss to make fair promises to its constituents on the eve of an election assembled at Maen- nerbund Hall last night. By the aid of a half-cord of firewood and a wheezing band the honest and hard-working em- ployes of the tanneries and soap works on the San Bruno road and the vicinity of the New Potrero were enabled to lo- cate the place which the simon-pure De- mocracy had advertised as its place of meeting. By 8 o’clock all the small boys in the neighborhood had congregated at the corner, as also the candidates who vainly expect to be hoisted into public office next month. The meeting was called to order by Deputy Sheriff Curtls, by virtue of his office as a county committeeman of the job-chasers engineered into existence by Boss Jimmy, the Hefter. State Senator L. J. Dwyer was appointed chairman of the meeting, and after a little talk with his friends he proceeded to business by introducing R. P. Doolan, the nominee for Street Superintendent. Doolan prom- ised, if elected, to repalr the Mission road, as he had been dumped out of a go-cart on that very day by reason of a rut in the roadway. He had not yet learned that Mission road is now a public street and a continuation of Mission street as far as the county line. On the sugges- tion of Jimmy Kinney, he also promised to look after the San Bruno road. Barclay Henley, the nominee for Dis- trict Attorney, was the next speaker. He started in by reminding his audience that the Democratic party would do what the Vigilance Committee had done in ‘56 and what the Wallace Grand Jury did a few years ago—run the thugs and black- legs out of the city. “The word ‘boss,’ " he sald, “‘was hand- ed down to us from the days of Boss Tweed, and picked up by Buckley and Rainey, and now the purest ‘boss’ that ever the sun shone on is Boss Phelan, who has ambitions of which I am proud.” A bright picture was drawn of the fu- ture of the city when such a pure, able and fearless jurist as Judge Wallace, Hefting Jimmy and the other clean and able men nominated by the picked con- vention of one hundred self-appointed reputable citizens take office; then there will be an exodus of thieves to Canada, and the city will be what it should be, one of the fairest in the United States. John A. Brown, J. P. Dunn, Eugene D. Sullivan, Dr. Charles Clinton, Jeremiah Deasy, Willlam McCormick—all nomin- ees—made short addresses to the voters. The Mayor, otherwise Hefting Jimmy, was booked for a talk, but up to a late | hour he forgot to show up, thus disap- | pointing the many who came to see the new boss of the Democratic party. — MAGUIRE LEAGUE OF CLUBS.

Deane, mostly Native Sons, who favor hiselection as County Clerk, assembled in Native Sons’ Hall last evening and organized the Willlam A.

Cue, corresponding secretary; Jos- eph Greenberg, treasurer; A. Traut- vette., sergeant at arms. Mr, Nobman, the president, who was one of the free- holders that framed the new charter, said he was glad to see the enthusiasm dis- played in behalf of Mr. Deane for County Clerk, as he was the right man for the lace—one who would, when elected, con- guct the office in_an efficient and econ- omical manner. He was the cholce of the legal fraternity and those who believed in rewarding an experienced and faithful man of affalrs. red H. Jung, the young Attorney, said he had never taken any active interest in politics, but he was mak- ing a canvass for Willlam A. Deane and felt he would win by a big majority. meeting _was composed of men of all shades of politics.

McKinlay to Talk on Single Tax—Dates for Local and Suburban Mass-Meet- ings Set. The Republican State Executive Com- mittee is arranging a series of mass meet- ings to take the State by storm, and it is safe to say that by the 8th of Novem- ber every district in the State will have heard Gage, Neff and other Republican leaders and will be educated up to tne great issues of the campaign. While during many campaigns the good speakers have been kept for the larger citles and the poorer ones delegated to the interfor districts, there will be none of it this time. The committee will have many speakers and all will be good speak- ers; men noted for their power of ora- tory and logical address; and they will stump the State thoroughly for the stand- ard bearers of the Republican party. There will be no false issues presented to the public and no playing to the galleries. The great issues of the campaign will be set forth clearly and distinctly, and all those subjects which might catch the public ear, but in reality have no direct bearing, will be carefully avoided. Chief among the speakers is Webster Davis, First Assistant Secretary of the Interfor. Mr. Davis is not only well known as a speaker, but he has an un- assaflable record as a public officlal. He has served the public for many years and bears the record of a man who, possessed of the gift of oratory, has never used it save in the cause of what he believed to be right. His one speech in this city will be made near the close of the cam- paign, in Woodward's Pavillon, on the evening of the 3lst. His other dates are as follows: Sacramento, October 22; Oakland, 24; San Jose, 2%; Modesto, 26; Fresno, 27; Bakersfield, 28. As far as the local meetings are con- cerned the State and municipal commit- tees are working together and the meet- ings in this city will be under their joint auspices. To-night Hon. Charles E. Pat- ton, D. A. McKinlay and others will ad- dress a meeting at Cyclery Hall, Haight and Stanyan streets. To-morrow night a big meeting will be held in Metropoli- tan Temple. D. A. McKinlay will gpeak at this meeting and will devote his at- tentlon particularly to an expose of some single tax theorles. He is well posted on this subject, and those who have been carried on the wings of this doctrine are particularly urged to be present. It is also worthy of note that W. J. Brady of the Eureka Boiler Works, a life-long Democrat, will preside at this meeting. E. F. Preston, who accompanied Gage in his successful tour of the San Joaquin Valley, is billed for Odd Fellows’ Hall on Friday evening of this week. Mr. Preston spoke at several meetings during the tour and won great applause. Colonel H. I Kowalsky will speak at Tomales on October 22, and A. L. Hart and Tirey L. Ford began a canvass of Humboldt County last night. Both of these gentlemen are so well known as to need no comment ,and the party is con- fident of thelr success in this district. For the future the only meetings ar- ranged in this city are for October 28 and 20. The meeting of the 28th will be held in Metropolitan Temple under the auspices of the Army and Navy Repub- lican League, and the veterans promise that it will be the biggest thing of the campaign. The address of the evening will be made by General W. H. L. Barnes. On the 26th the students of the two universities, Stanford and California, will hold a big meeting at Woodward's Pavilion. There will be four speakers from the universities and some from the outside. Music will be furnished by the band and glee clubs of the two colleges. The campaign will be closed at Los An- eles on the evening of November 5, when aeorge A. Knight will be the chief speaker. First Tramp (on bicycle)—Say. Bill, got anything to mend a punctured tire?

NEW CHARTER AS AN ISSUE PHELAN PROMISES A MILLEN- NIUM IF RE-ELECTED. Says,Taxes Scare People Away From the City—Other Candidates Make Short Campaign Speeches. The Democrats held a mass-meeting in Franklin Hall, on Fillmore street, last night, the principal speakers being James D. Phelan, Franklin K. Lane and Bar- clay Henley. The meeting was opened by Jasper Mc- Donald, chairman of Phelan’s commit- tee of one hundred, who introduced Den- zel Stone as chairman of the evening. Mr. Stone made a few opening remarks, thanking the audience for its presence, and expressed the'hope that the Fortieth District would do more for the Demo- cratic party this year than it has done in the past. He then introduced Sid- ney Van Wyck as the first speaker. Mr. Van Wyck said a few kind words for the_ new charter and expressed himself as feeling confident that the district would come out for Phelan. It supported the new charter, he said, and as Phelan was partial to the charter he was confident that it would support Phelan. Franklin K. Lane, Democratic candi- date for City and County Attorney, was next introduced. Mr. Lage, like all the speakers of the evening, spoke for the new charter. He sald that he was one of the framers of the document, which he considered good, though not perfect, and that if elected he would interpret it ac- cording to its spirit; he understood it thoroughly and would never strain a point to defeat its objects. He then went Into the other issues of the campaign and placed an oratorical halo around the head of the Democratic candidate for Mayor. He did not expect Phelan to be elected by the Democrats, and in fact, none of the speakers did; he felt that Phelan Had been turned down by members of his own party, and banked on the Non-Partisan vote—the men who throw aside party and vote for principle. He admitted that the good men were not all on one side, but that it was not a question of party this time, but of principle. Mayor Phelan arrived shortly after the conclusion of Mr. Lane's speech and was tendered an ovation by the crowd. He stepped on the platform and thanked them for the loyalty shown, remarking that it was rather pleasant after the luke- warmness shown by certain members of the party of which he was proud to be a member. He then launched into a series of encomiums on the new charter and prophesied great things for the city as soon as it is In force, pledging himself to support it in every way. He next took a fall out of corporations in general and sald some unpleasant things about the Chroaicle and its proprietor. He hoped for the day when this city might shake off corporation rule, and promised to do all in his power to hasten it. Gas and water are altogether too high and the raflroad has too much to say. New York is a bigger city than San Francisco, yet the commodities are cheaper. Peo- ple visit the city Intending to make it their place of residence, but when they see the freight bill, the tax bill, the water bill and the gas bill they are frightened away. He promised if re- elected to do all in his power to remedy these evils, and was confident that the other Democratic candidates would sup- port him. He relies not on his party. but on the Non-Partisan vote for re-election. Rhodes Borden, Theodore F. Bonnet, Finlay Cook, John A. Brown, Louis F. Byington, Barclay Henley, R. P. Doolan, Hull McClaughry, James H. Kelly, Leon- ard Stone and John A. Wright were in- troduced in_turn and made short speeches. All took up the charter as an issue and prayed for Non-Partisan votes. et e e E. I. Sheehan Club Organized. The E. I Sheehan Republican Club was organized Saturday night with a mem- bership of 100.
