THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1898. CANDIDATES SPEAK TO THE MEN WHO WORK Pledges to Guard La-| bor’s Interests. REPUBLICANS FIND FAVOR| | | SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO IN-| DORSES PARTY PLATFORM. | All of the Municipal Candidates Ad-‘] dress the Biggest and Most Enthusiastic Gathering of the Campaign. It was a typical South San Francisco | audience that last evening greeted al- | most the full list of Republican muniei- | pal candidates at Masonic Hall, corner of | Fourteenth and Railroad avenues. | It 2 meeting of the men who work; | who build cozy homes, rear their fami- lies and provide for their pleasures out of ach day’'s wage, and who, as a conse- ve an interest in such things | oner agalin, told his hearers that he hoped to have them all down to see If they could identify the remains of the Democratic party on November 9. From the roar surmised that most of them will be there. William A. Deane was classed in Henry Martin's category. The loudness of his greeting would not permit of 2 speech. He passed muster without say- ing a word about ‘“issues” and pledges and things, and sat down to make way for W. F. Fitzgerald, who was received with the same convincing cordiality. 1. J. Truman, who is mentioned on the big bills for Treasurer, promised to count and not “heft” the cash in the safe and ciples. A. C. Berthier, nom Judge C. A. Low, Judge Joachimsen, B. Treadwell and Thomas F. tnee for Recorder; ne e Wwho are nominees for Police Judges, wound up the meeting with short intros ductory speech, though it was eviden from the reception they got that nothing | of the sort was needed. bl e AUSTRO-AMERICAN DEMOCRATS | Maguire and White Address & Meet- | ing in Garibaldi Hall. | | The Austro- American (’-’nh{"m_“\"\ League held a_meeting In Garibaldl Hall last night.

Phelan Speaks to Democrats, but Says Nothing of His ‘“Hefting” Methods. Mayor Phelan and a number of other Democratic eandidates addressed a meet- ing at the rooms of the San Francisco Athletic Club on Sixth street last evening. Franklin K. Lane, candidate for the of- fice of City and County Attorney, made a first to speak. 'Y Aol voters had just as x‘;mch1 lengthy speechy which was well received. e now ho sfood ‘on mats | He appealed for the support ofithe wonks Pt - | Emen, saying that he was once the erest them as he had to ask | [Goret’ of them all and that he had a for them born ef past hard- ympathy ships.

Theodore net and other candidates made short ad: dresses and were all well received. - IN THE FORTY-FOURTH. Maguire and Barry Promise to Save State and Country From Rauin. The Democrats of the Forty-fourth Dis- trict rallied in Apollo Hall last Maguire was booked for the speaker of the evening, but Sam Waller, who acted as chairman, evidently thought there was some mistake about it | and often. When Mr. | there were a number of v | the house, but he was greeted with hearty | cheers from those who had waited. He | said a little about monopolies in general | 37d the Southern Pacific Railroad in par- the Democratic State ticket as the only hope for California, and the sending of James H. Barry to Congress as the sal- | vation for the country. He then went over the names of the candidates and | promised great things for each of | concluding with a few words of thanks to James D. Phelan for neglecting hi | own interests to make Maguire speeche; | in various parts of the State. ‘maward L. Hutchison was then intro- duced and spoke of his election as a “sure | thing.” He considers Maguire and him- self as elected already. Stephen M. White, James H.

He was glad to meet everybody, though, and it was evi- dent that they were all glad to meet him. i He was cheered to the echo. Charles F. Curry got lost on his beat somehow or other and dropped in. He didn’t discover that it was a municipal meeting until he had started to deliver himself of an opinion on Mr. Maguire. He apologized, not for the opinion, but for the mistake, and went on with his speech upon a vociferous suggestion to do so from his audience. “Maguire and I are good friends,” said Mr. Curry. , . 1 tion then appointed a committee, com- he s kind of damned by his political as- | [O8 WS APPOIIHG &, T0Ron Maver, A, | pirations and the methods of his nomi-| O, Perkins, Colonel M.

It was also decided to invite that nomination, too.” Speaking of the local issue he sald: “You have got as an opponent to Mr. Patton a young man who has never known what it was to earn a dollar. He was born with money and has spent the better part of his life trying to forget how his father made it. He Is the sort| of friend of labor that wants labor lO} live at the minimum salary, as was| proved when he wanted to cut City Hall | janitors’ salaries from $70 to $40 per| month. He is supported by a paper | whose support no sane man would have. | I want no libertine of Hearst's stamp | supporting me With a sideshow like the | Examiner.” Mr. Curry concluded with a short ex- osition of his own case, and was enthu- tically cheered. D. J. Murphy, for District Attorney, fol- | lowed Mr. Curry. He dealt at length with | that portion of the Republican platform that has to do with the interests of the men to whom he was speaking. “Even that gibbering sheet of the oppo- sition, the Exartiner,” sald Mr. Murphy, “has sald that the Republican platform was the fairest and best instrument that | any political party has ever indorsed, and | for once I am inclined to take the Exam- fner’s word.” is audience stood with him there, and th their applause stood with him until his speech was interrupted by the arrival | of genial Henry Martin. Mr. Martin has the only smile in the party that anywhere near resembels Julius Kahn's. It was in working order when he came in. He and his principles were too well known to | need introduction. He simply said he was glad he was there, sprung anotheg gloom- breaking smile and sat down to make room for E. I. Sheehan, who, when the Martin greeting had sufficiently subsided, explained that he wanted to be Tax Col- lector, and why. “Doc” Hawkins, who wants to be Cor- e | 1 “Maguire's a good fellow, but | e | PARADE COMMITTEE. i | | Two Members of Every Republican | Club Asked to Attend To- morrow Evening.

Maguire Denies Some of the State- ments Regarding His Views. In his tour of the city last night Candi- date Maguire dropped into Bersaglieri Hall and addressed a meeting of Demo- | v-third eral District. His crats of the tirade against speech was | monopoly_rule and a promise of better things. He said in part: “The majority of the people are al in favor of and }saflsfles with _justice, but they don't always et it. The candidates are as noth- fng as indlviduals; it is on the strength | of the principles we represent that we ask for vour votes. I have been called an anarchist, a soclalist and a nihilist by my | opponents, and not only do I deny that P i any of these, but I assert that I do not believe the parties using these names know what they really mean. They call them, however, because 1 am not in favor | of excluding political refugees from our Thores. (This has been a campalgn of falsehood and blackguardism against me and Mr. Phelan by the great monopolies.” James A. Devoto was chairman of the meeting___and _ introduced S“\Y,h"" M White, Bdaward L. Hutchison, Dr. Hili and others, who made short speeches. More Big Meetings. The Republican State Committee has added four big meetings to its list to take place within the next ten days. There will be an Army and Navy League meeting at Saratoga Hall to-mor- row evening, and on Thursday eveni Colonel H. I. Kowalsky will deal campaign issues at Odd Fellows’ Hall. ‘A rousing mass meeting of German- American voters is being arranged for the evening of November 2 to tak: place at Turner Hall on Turk street.

DEMOCRATS NEGLECTED THE ISSUES German Central Club Opens Its Fight. SPEAKERS WITH GRIEVANCES ANSWER CHARGES. Maguire Tells of His Relation With His Party and Says s It’s None of His Opponent’s Business. The personnel of the Republican ticket and the motives which prompted the various candidates to seek the sup- port of the voters of California were | construed, or rather misconstrued, ac- | cording to Democratic ideas at Metro- | politan Temple last evening. The meet- | ing was the first big rally of the Ger- | man Democratic Central Club. Many speakers were enlisted to “enlighten” the gathering, the enlightenment con- sisting of lauding Democratic candi- dates, grilling Republican candidates, apologizing for Democratic shortcom- ings and venting latent spleen upon the head of the corporations. M. Greenblatt, proprietor of a Ger- man paper, was the first to speak. He | concentrated -his energies in the deli ery of an anti-railroad speech, occa- sionally giving vent to the contempt in | which he held Republican newspapers, | and concluded with an effervescent sentence or two on the multitudinous virtues of Democracy. Dr. Max Mag- nus followed Mr. Greenblatt in a speech in his native tongue. This rleased the German contingent immensely, but the | American more, as the effort was a re- | freshin; variation. Chris Runckel, | Democratic candidate for Superintend- | ent of Schools, H. P. Andrews, candi-| date for Attorney General, and Frank | H. Gould followed as named. Mr.| Gould spoke at length on “the motive responsible for the interference of the Southern Pacific in politics.” | “The office of Governor is one of vast | importance,” he said, “and for many reasons the railroad has an object in | view when it enters the fight to fill| that office. In event the Legislature enacted provisions beneficial to that giant monopoly it is needful to have one in that chair that will assist the | measure; if the enactment is inimical to the interests of the railroad it is necessary that one should be there willing to place a veto on any such measure. Th istribution of a patron- | age that pays in salaries each year, as near as I can estimate, the round sum of $1,000,000, also falls to the lot of the | Governor, and the distribution of that patronage might assist one who so dé- sired to pay his debts—his debts. “It is known that no corporation could get behind James G. Maguire,and therefore the people should gather to his support. The Railroad Commission and the State Board of Equalization are offices that require men likewise willing to see that justice is ziven the people as well as the railroad. The | Democratic party's candidates cannot | be questioned as to their integrity and | tand upon this most important | L. Fitzgerald, Democratic candi- date for Public Administrator, next | took the platform and endeavi d to explain how easy it is to be on two great registers at the same time. He dence. Finlay Cook, candidate for Po- lice Judge, then explained that he had no desire to drag any of the gathering to the Police Court, but asked the gath- ering to assist in pushing him into office. R. P. Doolan, nominee for Super- intendent of Streets, made a brief ad- dress, brief through the fact that just as he was becoming enthusiastic Mayor Phelan and James G. Maguire entered | the hall, and the cheers and enthusiasm that greeted them drowned the speaker's voice. “Three cheers for the standard- bearers of the State and municipal tickets,” was shouted from the gallery. nition of the cordial reception tendered is much in common between the State and municipal tickets,” he sald, “and | when the support of the people is given | one it will not neglect the other.” The speaker then explained a few conditions he chose to consider issues and then branched, taking issue to statements that have been made, picturing Ma- guire as antagonistic to property inter- ests He then drifted to the railroad question, referring to it as “the gigan- tic conspiracy of the railroad.” “In view of this ‘conspiracy’ the people should be willing to trust the highest public office in the gift of the people to the hands of James G. Maguire. “We all know his recorc, and that IS| betray the trust imposed upon him. age has no public record, and the peo- questions of vital importance.” A few more remarks and Mr. Phelan gave way to Chairman Dr. Max Mag- nus, who introduced the standard- bearer of Democracy. When the last cheer had died away Mr. Maguire said: “I am pleased to meet such a splendid gathering and to receive such a hearty welcome. 1 am pleased to see that you all feel a deep interest in the issues of this campaign and realize their great importance. Being hoarse from con- continued speaking I will not speak on the issues of the campaign but rather choose to reply to those who devote more of their time to me than to the current issues. “To my mind the issues of the cam- paign involve matters of greater im- portance than men, but it seems that others hold a different view. I am both surprised and flattered to find that my opponents think I am more important than the issues. They tell the people that they are afraid that I have\not been a consistent Democrat. 1 hhve paid but little attentfon to these re- marks, but now I will state that I con- sider it none of their business. My re- lations with myv party are between my party and myself, and I care to take no advice from Gage or Barnes. They know nothing about Democracy. Now as to my relations 1.ith the Democratic party. “In 1875, when I entered public life, T was nominated as a candidate for the In 1882 T was nominated in the regular Demo- eratic convention for Judge of the Su- In 1892, 1854 and 1896 I attended Congress as a regularly elected Democrat, and in 1898 1 seek the office of Governor.

If they wish to abuse any one they should abuse the peonle who placed me in office, and cea<e de- | promised that if he was elected to the of- political | statements he attributed to his op- ponents as falsehoods, gave his opinion of the mental qualifications of his col- league, Congressman Loud, and con- cluded with the statement that he had no fear of the coming election, as he believed the people knew their duty and would not neglect it. Maguire was followed by Edward L. Hutchison, can- didate for Lieutenant Governor; Sena- tor Stephen M. White and James H. Barry. The meeting then adjourned. MR. HENLEY'S RETICENCE. The Alien of Mexico Says Nothing of His Affiliatibn With Emperor Maximilian. A well-attended meeting of Democrats was held atTurn Verein Hall last evening, The speakers of the evening were: Frank- lin K. Lane, James Denman, Washington Dodge, L. F. Byington, Rhodes Borden, E. P. Mogan, John A. Brown, T. J. Lyons, George H. Cabaniss, R. Porter Ashe, Wil- liam Cannon, Francis Pope, R. P. Doolan, L. F. Stone and Barclay Henléy. The last-named speaker declared that the is- sue of the present municipal campaign was that of the bosses on the one side and honest government on the other. He fice of District Attorney he would do_all in his power to put the rascals in jail. He made no reference to the circum- stances that induced him, in 1864, to re- nounce his alleglance to the United States and become a citizen of Mexico. The fact that he has never since that time announced his intention of again becom- ing a citizen of this country was not mentioned by him as one of the reasons why he should be elected to the respon- sible office he is now seeking. ‘W. A. Deane Central Club. The Willlam A. Deane Central Club held a big meeting in Cabrillo Hall, Native Sons’ building, last evening, John C. Nob- man presiding. Willlam A. Deane, the Republican nominee for County Clerk, was received with three rousing cheer: Mr. Deane said he was highly please at the enthusiasm of his friends who were enlisted In his behalf. He said the outlook for victory was bright. To see such a large number gathered together to advance his interests was enough to make any man proud. Mr. Deane said he could stay with them only for a few moments, as he had to go elsewhere, but he assured them he heartily appre- ciated their efforts and thanked them sincerely. It was decided that the club | as a body take part in the Republican parade. ~Stirring remarks were made by C. H. Stanyan, Joseph Greenberg, Thomas | C. 0. Burton, John L.

GREETED BY A GREAT CROWD THE ISSUES OF THE CAMPAIGN CLEARLY OUTLINED. Voters Should Rise Above Party Prejudices and Stand Together to Support the Admin- istration. OAKLAND, Oct. 24.—For a couple of hours to-night some thousands of peo- ple at the Exposition building were lifted from the plane of petty politics and were brought face to face with the great principles of pure Americanism. The orator of the evening was Hon. Webster Davis, and for many days Oakland will be busy discussing his speech. The platform was filled with leading Republicans, and among the vast audience were hundreds who do not call themselves Republicans, but all | applauded the speaker's sentences. When he closed all would like to have heard more. Hon. Webster Davis did not plead for votes for his party. He did not extoll Republicanism and decry everything else. He never once mentioned Ma- guir or Magulreism. He delivered an American address so brcad and con- vincing that party doctrine seemed puerile by comparison. He said in part: ““This is the middle of the administra- tion of President McKinley. During his term of office the arms of America have taught the world a lesson. It was not a Republican war, but a national tri- umph. At this time the eyes of Eu- rope are on the Peace Commission now in session at Paris. Europe knows as well as we do that the temper of this nation regarding the war with Spain will be shown at the polls two weeks hence—that the war is really an issue in this campaign. What shall we say then if after November 8, America pro- claims to the world that she does not indorse her war-President, her Dewey, her Schley, her Sampson, her Hobson, and her other heroes? And this is what she will do if the complexion of Con- gress shouid be changed at this time. This is a time for citizens to show their Americanism as much as when Mr. Mc- Kinley issued a call to arms, and a quarter of a milllon of the flower of our country’s manhood responded. ‘““California, f--t becoming the center of these United States, surely cannot hesitate a moment to strengthen the hands of the administration that through our boys in blue has planted the flag of liberty on the isles of the East and of the West, making possible a future commn.erce of which we dare not have dreamed ten --ears ago.” Afro-American League. A very enthusiastic meeting of the Afro-American League was held last night at 620 Bush street. Charles L. Pat- ton, Republican candidate for Mayor, ad- dressed the league and was heartily in- dorsed. The Republican State and municipal tickets were also indorsed. Several other candidates addresed the league. A grand mass meeting will be held on November 2, at which time the several candidates will be presented. AUSTRIAN JUBTLEE MEDALS. The Emperor of Austria has announced that he will distribute commemorative medals of three kinds to the population. The first is for the army, and all who have worn the Emperor's’ uniform with honor have a right to it. The second is for Government or court service, and the third for all persons who have done any kind of work during the last forty years. Cho latter can be applied for by every povulation, and by men and en equally. Before these medals were struck there must have been profound consideration as to the Inscriptions they were to bear. During the Emperor's long relgn several medals and crosses have been struck to reward merit of various kinds, and they have always been fur- nished with simple_ inscriptions. The medal for soldiers who have shown courage before the enemy has the in- scription “‘Der Tapferkeit'” (for bravery); 2 ) /s pL PP fr\@_g LTSN (NN IR IO AT NN IMSNEEONCEE N I MY AN O s b7 =N ARCHBISHOP CHAPELLE of New Orieans, Who Has Been Chosen by Pope Leo as Apostolic Delegate to Cuba. the military cross of merit, which con- fers a high distinction, has the word iVerdienst” (merit).

This year’s jubilee medals, whether they be “for soldiers, Government officials, or steady working men and_women, all have Latin inscrip- tions: “'Signum memorae” or “Signum laboris fideliter peracti.”” What meaning do these words convey to the common soldfer, the workman, the domestic ser- vant? 'This matter of language is signifl cant. No more palpable sign of the na- tional discord could have been given than these Latin inscriptions on medals dis- tributed at the close of the nineteenth century.—London Ne e, TEN MILLION DOLLAR. FOR A SERVANT. The death has occurred in Vienna of Ferdinand Linke, the king of Austrian usurers, and a conspicuous figure in Viennese life. Linke started a money lending business In 1860 with a capital of £10, and by the exorbitant rates of interest which he charged, as well as the callousness with which he extracted his pound of flesh from his victime, he soon amassed a large fortune, and died worth over £2,- ,000. . Linke's methods frequently exceeded the limits of the law, and he was sen- tenced to several terms of imprisonment, amounting in all to upward of eight years. His passion for \Isurg", however, remained uncooled, and on his release from prison he always returned to his work with renewed zeal. In his private life the usurer was eccentric in the ex- treme. He kept one man over S0 years old to manage the household affairs, and lived as If he were in need of the neces- of life. He closgly barred his doors and windows, and had a body guard of fierce bloodhounds. After his death several hundred thou- sand pounds in banknotes and gold were found hidden under the floor, in carefully concealed holes in the wall, and other cu- rious places. His daughter is the sole heiress to the usurer’s immense fortune. She has lived in perfect ignorance of her father's wealth, and has earned her living as a do- mestic servant. When she inherited her fortune of $10,000,000 she was maid-of-all- work in a struggling tradesman’s house, with an annual wage of $20. Linke has imposed on his heiress one very characteristic condition—viz., that no portion of the inheritance shall at any time be devoted to charitable purposes.— London Mail S e DO IN PLACE OF A GRINDSTONE. Boys who think it hard to be compelled to turn the grindstone should, instead, be thankful that they have things so easy as they do. The Six Towns Times, in its sketches from Windham history, tells how Duncan McIntosh, who settled some- where about 1750, brought with him from Portland a new scythe which he neglect- ed to sharpen before he left that place, and when his first crop of hay was ready| to harvest he found that there was no' rindstone nearer than the old Province Fort at South Windham, a distance of four or five miles. Not wishing to spare the time to go that distance he decided to do the next best thing, so he made a dozen flat pine sticks, took a pot of grease and his scythe down to the beach in front of his house, greased the sticks, sprinkled them liberally with sand and actually rubbed his scythe to a sharp edge. Afterward when questioned as to: the amount of labor and length of time required for this unique operation he re- plied that it was no great affair, as it took him only one day to get his scythe into good cutting order.—Kennebec Jour- nal. —_———— POINTED PARAGRAPHS.
