REA PAINTED BY A CLEVER WORD ARTIST Santa Clara’s Boss as Seen by Delmas. TRUTHS IN STRONG RELIEF DEVELOPED IN ARGUMENT IN| THE SLANDER SUIT. Vainglorious Arrogance of the De- fendant Made Light of Slan- dering Jarman, a Highly Respected Citizen. Spectal Dispatch to The Call | cer, Nolting, it was_shown, had been question, and I will tell you where $1000 would have gone if the county bought the roller. The testimony of 8. P. Hatcher that he had gone to Rea for aid in having the fire limits changed so as to permit the rebuild- ing of the Rhinehart flats was taken here. ‘The passage of an ordinance was of oo small import for the chief to meddle with and with lofty grandeur he sald he turned the matter over to J. D. Mackenzie, lead- er of the kilted brigade in the Fourth Ward. This same defendant pretends he protects the public treasury and that his sole desire is to see that none but good and efficient officials are elected to office. Rea took a great Interest in Jarman at one time ' and had him nominated for Councilman, because he thought he could use him. ‘Whenever the testimony of Rea clashes with that of Jarman, who can for & monment hesitate to decide who tells the truth? The caucus at Rea’s house, where the boss “wanted to make a slate, was re- viewed. It was shown that the men Jarman objected to were drunken po- licemen and a rowdy fireman. One offi- that the drunk about half the time. A slate, with the names of these men to whom Jarman objected, was finally adopted by the City Council. This matter was gone into at length, and it was shown that Jarman espoused only good men for policemen"and firemen, while Rea took any man with political influence. Continuing, Delmas said: “Gentlemen, I blushed when I heard it, and it will remain a blot on the rec- ord of the court, a stain upon the city —when I heard this boss in his czar- like way state what he was going to do to ‘those who refused to obey his | dictates.” Delmas then read from Rea's testi- SAN JOSE, Oct. 19.—Attorney Delmas outpointed the opposing counsel in the | Jarman-Rea slander suit to-day, and In spite of all efforts to shut him out was allowed to make a supplemental open- | ing argument. The entire forenoon was occupied in arguing the matter, and just before noon Judge Kittredge de- cided Delmas had the right to address the jury, even if the defendant’s coun- sel did not. He limited Delmas’ argu- ment to two hours. The trap set by Attorneys Morehouse and failed to catch Delmas. Burchard and Morehouse wiil now both address the jury. This has changed the preposed mony in which the boss stated that if the present Council did not conduct | themselves properly he would walk into | the council chamber and drag them from their seats by the collar. CANTONS DRILL 1.0.0. F.Grand Encamp- ment Feature. EVOLUTIONS ARE BEAUTIFUL PERFECTION OF RIDGELEY AND SACRAMENTO. 5 3 Judges Hesitate' to Decide Which Is Winner—Reports of Com- mittees and Election of Officers. Bpectal Dispatch to The Call SAN JOSE, Oct. 19.—The Grand En- campment of Odd Fellows got down to work to-day, and, after adopting sev- eral reports and amendments, elected officers for the ensuing year.. The. fea- ture of the day was the competitive drfll of Cantons of Patriarch Militant “Think of it, gentlemen!” he contin- ued. “So said Jupiter Olympus, the| White Czar of the Russias, the great | potentate and Governor of San Jose. | And see to it, gentlemen, that you fol- | low in the footsteps of the shepherd, obey the dictates of the boss, or he will stride into the council chamber and | drag you from your seats, as Cromwell did in the Parliament of England, and then we dream we are, we think we | are, we boast we. are free American citizens, who govern ourselves.

Delmas stated he was | counsel for Jarman and no one else, | and the compensation he would receive was from him and no one else. He made this statement because of the report that he was representing some political organization. Such reports were de- nounced as false. | Delmas said the charge of slander had been fully and entirely proved, and that there could be no doubt in the mind of any person who had heard the evi- dence. On March 14, 1898, Rea had ac- cused Jarman of receiving a bribe on the purchase of the street steam roller and it had been proved that Rea made such an utterance. This statement by Rea was declared to be faise and slan- | derous. | In his answer the defendant attempt- ed to mitigate his act and throw him- self upon the mercy of the jur Del- mas read the testimony in which Rea imed Jarm: use of the words “liar, scoundr and boodler” caused hiln (Rea) to make use of the slander- | against him while in the\‘ though made under | is a perversion of truth.” said “The words were uttered by after Rea had made the Jarman had recelved Delr . Jarman only statement that $450, and were made as a denial to ut- ter nces of Rea. The question to be ered by the jury is that of dam- slanderous utterances of the defendant were strewn broadcast and caused humiliation to plaintiff and his family. You must weigh and con- | sider the extent to which the slander has been disseminated and bear in| mind that the slande s dissemin- ated among the directors of the Hotel Vendome, three of whom testified to | the fact in court, that it was repeated | to 8. G. Tompkins, J. B. Church, E. P. Main and E. A. Hay: “These slanderou tatements of Rea poisoned the atmosphere and public ear. Not satisfled with this, the defendant purposely reiterates his story to a San Franeisco paper and to the San Jose Mercury for publication, | so that every man, woman and child | in Santa Clara County could know that | Rea charged this old, honored citizen with being a disgrace to his family | and a disgrace to his name. “In considering this verdict you are to consider the injury done. plaintiff. | Punitive and compensatory damages | can both be awarded. Delmas then explained the law of slander. The speaker analyzed the two men. He said: In 1865 the plaintiff, J. P. Jarman, had | been an honored citizen and merchant of | the city for twenty-five years. He was highly respected by every one: How different the career of Rea! In 1895 Rea, 80 he .testified on the stand, was called a political boss. It is easy to de- termine which of these men is of the higher-character. What is a boss? Ac- cording to Webster’s definition a boss is a manager or dictator of parties, or the head of a ring. The evidence in the case shows that this self-constituted and self- | appointed leader met with other leaders | in his office to determine upon a policy | to be carried out during the campalgn. | Rea said he had agreed to give the church people a resident district where saloons could not be conducted. The School De- | This was a delicate subject | partment to be kept out of politics. Rea_was willing to recognize the'A. P. A. | as Republicans. He was also gracious | enough to recognize the Catholics, and, | as they paid one-third of the taxes, they should be so represented in the schools. When a vacancy should océur among the | teachers of that faith a teacher of the same faith should appointed in the | pla These self-constituted leaders | were planning to_take public matters out of the people’s hands. They were de- termining what teachers should be ap-| pointed and of what faith and what should be done before the Board of Edu- cation met. | This is a very convenient form of gov- | ernment, but it is net a government by the people. Rea told you he had to have men in office he could. trust. In secret junta this self-constituted leader deter- mined to go forth in the community and find men who would blindly obey the dic- tates of this self-appointed governor and carry out his orders, agreed upon in his back office. He bargained with the A. P, A.’s,Veterans and Catholics, and agreed to divide political spoils with them. The, agreed to divide among themselves nns their gang the public offices of San Jose and pay no attention to the efficiency and service of men in office. The defendant told you in most edifyin, terms that J. H. Maggard, an agent of the O. 8. Kelly Co. came to him to se- cure his influence in selling the county a steam roller. Only Supervisors Ayer and Roll were in favor of purchasing the roll- er, 5o he went to Boss Rea to secure his influence to persuade his. own brother, Supervisor G: E. Rea, to vote for the roller. With Supervisor Rea’s vote the purchase would bé made. The terms were to be $3700, and for his influence up- on his own brother the boss was to re- celve $1000 commission, or over 25 per cent. He entertained the proposition. Was willing to make the commission and was willing to see the county pay $3700 for a roller that had to his knowledge been so0ld to the clgi' for $2750. The same r. Mafigard also went to Rea's office for his influence in selling the roller to the city. The boss’ own political friend, Councilinan Fay, was deeply in- ferested In the matter.. On June 16, 1897, he ?’pposefl the purchase of the roller, and on June 28 following he favored the pur- ‘What brought. about as. it de- chase of the roller. this change of mind in Fay? endant’s influence? If it be true that was pald as commission on the pur- chase of the roller or where it would do the most gopd, where did it got Answer how the boss decided that Jarman must | be defeated at any cost. Rea then set | out to annihilate the character of Jar-| man to effect his purpose. Delmas devoted some time to Rea's| testimony. All his = statements were denounced as false. He said the slan- | derous utterances on which the suit was brought were made by Rea, who, intoxicated by his own fancied power in this community, conceiving himself | in absolute security and immunity | from that redress which applies to or- dinary men, made these charges against Jarman with just as much un- | concern to bring him down to the| ground as a man would take a pole to knock fruit down from a tree. Rea wanted to prevent Jarman's election. | There was no ground upon which he | could attack him truthfully. He re-| sorted to the weapons of slander in or-| der to accomplish his purpose. | “It remains with you, by your ver-| dict,” said Delmas, “to teach him that whatever else may be open to his inroads in_ this community, private character and the reputation of its | men, women and children are beyond his reach; that however great Rea may | fancy himself to be there is, thank | God, a remnant, a fragment at least, of a'power left in the minds of Ameri- | appeared In uniform at the pavilion this evening and to-mogrow night they will give a drill. The morning session of the Grand En- campment was taken up by reports. The committee on honored dead re- ported the following names and recom- mended that they be properly entered upon the memorial tablet: Andrew Mec- Aleer, chief patriarch, of Golden Gate Encampment No. 1; C.

Referred to the committee on finance. The report of the committee on peti- tion, recommending that the following charters be granted, was adopted: Redwood Encampment No. 67, located at Fort Bragg, Mendocino County; Azusa Encampment No. 54, located at Pacheco Encampment No. 50, located at Hollis- ter, San Benito County, and a dupli- cate charter to Tracy Encampment No. 49, located at Tracy, San Joaquin County, its charter having been de- stroyed by fire on June 19, 1898, At the opening of the afternoon ses- sion the election of officers was taken up with this result: Grand patriarch, J. W. Harris of San Francisco: grand Joseph Foster of San Diego; grand senior warden, P. D. idly riorthward, and soon the house of N. | Gummoe of Nevada City; grand scribe, M. Russell was a sheet of flames. The loss on these two buildings was nominal, as nearly all the furniture of value was removed and the buildings alone suffered. The fire gpread across the alley to Mar- tin's shoe shop, and thence to the general | merchandise and grocery store of J. Eckert, the largest. building in that part of town. From here, the brick walls ~forming a check, it spread _rapidly to the south, burning the house belonging to W.O'Con- nor and occupfed by Thomas Sharp, and thence to the Bouth Methodist parsonage, which adjoins the church of the same de- nomination. The parsonage and residence burned like tinder, and soon the handsome church was destroyed, notwithstanding the heroic efforts of the firemen. It had been completed only a few years at a | cost of nearly $10,000. As near as could be learned the totdl insurance on the church and parsonage was only $2500. From the church the flames spread to the residence of J. M. Sweeney, and it with its contents Went to join those that had preceded it. At the time of this writing it is impos- sible to obtain the exact amount of losses io each property owner or the insurance that each carried. The loss on the gro- cery store of Kckert is placed at between $5000 and $10,000, insurance unknown. The houses of Cassin, Russell and O'Connor will average about $1000 each, not includ- ing furniture, ete. This is_the second disastrous fire that Red Bluff has had In the past six weeks, and although the present one will no equal in damage the other, it is a heay blow to the part of the town in which it occurred, as these houses and stores were the best in that section. Considering the means the firemen had to work with and disadvantages they were under from lack of hose'and water, they dia excellent work. e SIMONT’S SLAYER CONVICTED.

OLD TRACK TO BE SOLD AND NEW SITE BOUGHT. SACRAMENTO, Oct. 19.—At the last session of the Legislature a bill was passed authorizing the State Agricultural Soclety to file a petition in the Superior Court of Sacramento County for leave to sell the property of Agricultural Park. The board of directors determined to ap- ply to the Superior Court for permission to sell the historic racing grounds for th purposge of purchasing another site, an accordingly directed its attorneys, Rob- ert T. and Willlam H.

Speclal Dispatch to The Call. AUBURN, Oct. 19.—As the tour of Henry T. Gage progresses the pros- pects of a sweeping Republican vic- tory in California brightens. Every- where the party leaders and followers are inspired with confidence and cour- age. If the people vote as they shout the majority for Gage and Neff will be overwhelming. Last night's demonstration at Sacra- mento surprised everybody by its mag- nitude and enthusiasm. The vast throng of enthusfastic and earnest vot- ers at Auburn' to-night is remarkable. A big meeting was expected, but the most sanguine did not count on such a vast number turning out. Placer Coun- ty, the home of the honored and popu- lar Jacob Neff, the Republican nomi- nee for Lieutenant Governor, can al- most be relied upon to return a hand- some majority for ‘the .Republican cause. Here in beautiful’ Auburn the people are imbued with a resolute de- termination to break the record of Re- publican triumphs ‘in the mountains. Undoubtediy the personal popularity of Jacob Neff will assist largely in pro- moting the good work. Democrats who intended at the out- set to vote for Maguire and Neff now perceive that Neff's election' would be an empty triumph if a fusion, single taxer and anarchist sympathizer should be chosen to flll the first office in the State, hence, after mature reflection, they have reached the sensible and log- ical conclusion that a vote for Henry T. Gage for Governor will be required | to make Neff’'s election worth some- thing to the people of California. Henry T. Gage was presented to the prosperous and progressive men of Pla- cer County under most favorable aus- pices. Refreshed, by sleep in Sacra- mento and enlivened by the compan- ionship of General W. H. L. Barnes, he was in fine form to enjoy the delightful trip through the foothill country from Sacramento to Auburn. The train ar- rived here early in the afternoon. As | the standard bearer and General Barnes alighted the Auburn band dis- coursed sweet music. A large throng assembled at the depot gave them a cordial welcome. A walk of a few| steps brought them to Freeman's Ho- tel, to which place they were escorted | by L. L. Chamberlain, chairman of the | County Central Committee; ¥. B. Tut- | tle, F. J. Nichols and B. B. Deming. The intelligence of the local committee | was highly commended in allowing Mr. | Gage and General Barnes to rest for two hours during the afternoon, in or- | der to meet the requirements of the evening demonstration. The standard bearer, however, held an informal re-| ception, and many people came forward to extend to him an Individual weicome to Auburn. At once they recognized in Henry T. Gage a man of the plain people, whose sympathies for the masses had not been dulled by long service as a pampered office-holdér. Men who dwell apart from the densely populated cities often give serfous thought to the study of human character. They read of party leaders and get notions of their worth, but they seldom form judgment until they meet face to face with the man whose char- acter they wish to study. The people everywhere like to meet Gage. Fre- quently they do not.wait for an intro- duction, for they judge him to be a plain, everyday sort of a man that they can talk to without the formality of being introduced to him. Shortly before 6 o'clock a large delegation, headed by Jacob H. Neff, arrived on the train from Colfax. The Auburn band and the Colfax band rendered music to cele- brate the arrival of the nominee for Lieutenant Governor. One of the first to greet the veteran miner was Henry T. Gage, and the exchange of friendly sentiments was prolonged until the on- lookers, desirous of meeting both candi- dates, pressed forward. Delegates ar- rived from Towle, Dutch Flat, Gold Run, Lincoln, Newcastle, Penryn, Loomis, Rocklin and Roseville. The muititude in Auburn at 7 o'clock was reinforced by hundreds of farmers and frult growers, who came in on wagons from the country precincts. The Col- fax and Auburn musicians were jolned by brass bands from Lincoln, Towle and Penryn. Uniformed Republican clubs also came and the cheering of the con- fident workers, added to the music of the bands, rendered the occasion me- morable in Auburn. In honor of the great demonstration in the mountains the illuminations were brilliant. At 7:30 o’clock the immense torchlight parade in hcnor of Gage and Neff moved forward in the following order: Auburn band, Auburn Republican Club, speakers’ carriage, Colfax band, Col- fax Republican Club, Lincoln band, Lin- coln Republican Club, Towle band, Towle Republican Club, Penryn band, Penryn Republican Club, citizens with fireworks: and citizens with torches. The procession, marshaled by J. G. Bis- bee, moved from the upper to the lower town, down the railroad, East, Commer- cial and Main streets to Washington, up Washington to the plaza and up East to the opera house. The marching column, with its grand display of fire- works, was viewed by thousands of spectators. % The enthusiasm all along the line was tremendous. The opera-house was beautifully decorated with flags and flowers. There was such a crush to get In that all the seats were taken be- fore the clubs reached the house. When Gage, Neff and Barnes took their al- lotted places on the stage the audience arose and cheered. The cheering was long continued, growing louder with each renewed outbreak of approval. The meeting was called to order by L. L. Chamberlain, chairman of the County Central @ommittee, who spoke of the demonstr:tion as Placer Coun- ty’s welcome to &he next Governor of Our Treatment &f Spanish Captives. Never betore in history was there a case where a defeated and captive enemy received © | such generous treatnient as we gave the Span- . _Other nations are astonished. Equally astonishing ara the cures ht about by Hos- tetter's Stomach Bitters. Never before in his tory essful a medicine for the debift and nervous, for at liver disorders like dyspepsia, in= AL California. This allusion was the sig-- nal for still greater demonstrations of applause. When the tumult subsided Mr. Chamberlain announced F. B. Tut- tle'as president of the meeting. The following vice presidents were named: W. M. Sparks, Martin Michaels, Lin- coln; James French, Sheridan; H. C. Trippett, Roseville; Oscar Odom, J. H. Neely, Rocklin; Fred W. Turner, J. M. Fites, Loomis; Fred W. Grant, H. F. Albee, Penryn; John Boggs, Newcastle; H. H. Taylor, Ophir; T. J. Nichols, Au- burn; J. M. Fulweiler, Auburn; M. T. Lawrence, Auburn; Ira Avery, Robert Hector, Long Valley; H. H. Bowman, Junction; Dave Jones, Clipper Gap; W. A. F. Ahrberg, Weimar; T. A. Willis- ton, Applegate; I. H. Parker, Amos S. Stevens, Colfax; Charles Thomas, Fred Herrman, Gold Run; J. W. Jameson, H. H. Hudepohl, Dutch Flat; H. 1. Power, Sunny South; W. P. Snowden, George G. Towle, Towle; S. M. Sprague, Iowa Hill; J. H. Huth, Todds Valley; W. B. Thorp, Sacramento, and H. T. Holmes, Iowa Hill. F. B. Tuttle made a brief speech on taking the chair, and then introduced Hon. Jacob Neff. The tumuits of ap- plause which began as Mr. Neff arose to speak defy description. There never was a greater welcome accorded to a candidate by his neigh- bors and friends. In response to the greeting Mr. Neff remarked that it af- forded him delight to witness such a marvelous demonstration in the county of Placer in honor of Henry T. Gage. In regard to the reflections on the in- telligence and integrity of the Repub- lican State Committee and the asper- sions that had been cast by the fusion leader Mr. Neff said that he had never presided over a more intelligent and in- dependent body of men than that which nominated Henry T. Gage for Governor. The delegates wore no coliar and were free to-act according to the dictates of their conscience. Speaking directly of matters within the knowledge of the audience he said: “You knew the character of the men sent from Placer County to that conventlon, and you know that they were not swerved by railroad influence.” (Great applause.) The Auburn Glee Club sang a song and responded to an encore. Another prolonged and mighty demonstration of enthusiasm followed the introduction of Henry T. Gage. He was presented to the pecple as a man who had never sought office. The hour was late when he began speaking, but he was in good voice for the work of the evening. There were shouts of joy when he told the audience of the great demonstrations in support of the Republican ticket which he had witnessed during his speaking tour in twenty-three counties of Cali- forna. He did not take the magnificent ovations as greetings to himself, but regarded them as examples of devotion to the cause which the Republican party represented. His speech followed the lines of his masterly address at Sacramento last night. He trusted that the intelligence of the people would enable them to see the dangers that lurked in the socialistic dogma of sin- gle tax. He reviewed the disloyal rec- ord of Maguire in Congress, exposed the humbugging of Maguire's anti-rail- road declarations and directed the es- pecial attention of Placer County peo- ple to the effect of the proposed single tax on the miners and farmers. Mr. Gage spoke for one hour and gained many tokens of approval. He made his points on the single tax with effect. The applause which hailed the intro- duction of General W. H. L. Barnés was as great and long-continued as any demonstration which preceded it. Many of the men in the audience had traveled by teams twenty-five or thirty miles to listen to his superb oratory. He spoke for nearly two hours, and no one in the vast assemblage was disap- pointed. His eloquent tribute to the patriotism and ability of President Mc- Kinley and his earnest appeal to Silver Republicans to join in sending a_mes- sage of confidence to the noble Presi- dent enlisted the heartiest applause of the evening. Owing to the lateness of the hour General Barnes sought several times to close his speech, but the en- raptured assemblage urged him to go on. He applied the single tax dogma to the men who had acquired property and homes in Placer County and made the odious scheme so plain that the audi- ence perceived the danger that lay in the ambition of the office-helding “glant.” The great meeting, the greatest in point of numbers and enthusiasm ever held In Placer County, adjourned with three mighty cheers for Gage and Neff and three more shouts of welcome for General Barnes.

Threshes Over a Great Deal of Old Straw—General Barnes the Principal Subject . of His Attacks. Speclal Dispateh to The Call. SAN JOSE, Oct. 19.—James G. Ma- guire and his running mate, E. L. Hutchison, and several other candi- dates on the State-Democratic-Populis- tic ticket addressed the largest political gathering of the campaign here this evening the meeting was naturally en- thusiastic, and the gallery plays of Ma- guire increased the rounds of applause. Although Maguire holds the nomingtion of Governor from the Democrats,”Pop- ulists and Silver Republicans, the list of vice presidents included not one Sil- ver Republican, and but about half a dozen Populists were favored with seats on the platform. This was freely commented on at the meeting. Maguire's words of self-laudation were amazing, and what few good qual- ities he omitted to mention Hutchison told of. In opening he made a few re- marks about the county ticket and then got down to talking of Maguire and Maguireism. He referred to Gage, but General Barnes was the principal sub- Ject of attack. The “Little Glant” sald Gage opened his campaign with a speech in Los An- geles about flve weeks ago that was said to be the keynote of the campalgn. But it was not satisfactory, and Gen- eral Barnes was ordered to sound a new keynote. It was this latter speech that the speaker said he would tear into threads to-night. Barnes, unlike Gage, was bringing every issue of national and State poli- tics into the campaign. He said Barnes claimed the success of the Spanish- American war was due to the Republi- can administration and its glories to the Republican party. This he denied and said the victories of the war were common heritage of the people, as Democrats and Populists had fought alongside Republicans. The speaker said Barnes then took un the Philippine Islands, and his beauti- ful essay on the islands seems to have been drawn from Captain Cook’s trav- els. McKinley’'s course in the matter of the Philippine Islands and the war was praised. This was surprislnfi' as it was the only good word he spoke of any one save himself during the speech. pMagulre then told the audience his old railway story. He went at length into it. He ridiculed the idea that the single tax was to be submitted to the people.

Before he would discuss the single tax with Gage he would advise the Republican candidate for Governor to take a kin- dergarten course on the subject and study up economical topics. He closed by saying that if electsd Governor he would perform his duties faithfully and honestly, as he did all other public duties asked of him. Hutchison followed. He character- ized Maguire as a man with a brain so large and a heart so great that all the Huntingtons in the universe could not buy him. Senator J. W. Daniels, Sen- ator White, Mayor Phelan and Gov- ernor Budd were great Democrats, but Maguire was the peer of them all. MARIN’S DEMOCRACY MEETS. Listens to Addresses by Candidates at San Rafael.
