Ch after cheer went up to rus- tle the flag: ked ceiling, and Vice-Presi- dent Voorsanger was obliged to delay his remark much as five minutes untid the applau; ibsided. “The Bear Club, as you have already been told,” id Mr. Voorsanger, one of the oldest Republican organizations in the city, and I wish to add that it is a source of real pride to us to know and to feel that in strict adherence to the prin- ciples of the Republican party, in fidelity 1o its cause, and in real hard work, indi vidually and collectively, for the success of the various Republican aspirants for political honors, the Bear Club yields th palm to no one. g “One of the mai right-minded citize this year of all v support the Repu lican party regardless of political cre i because the eyes of the world are upon thousands of our native sons who are now in Manila. Our own brave Californian boys, who left loving parents, brothers and sisters, with a.deternrination to up- hold the honor of our flag with their life's blood, and the only thing that sus- tains these brave lads in the land of ma- laria and suffering is their sturdy patri- otlsm. And I say to you now, fellow- cit- Izens, that a vote for the Republican tick- et this yvear will be a vote of thanks to them and of confidence in the man who sent them where they are to vindicate ;h&s country’s “onor, President McKin- ey.” Mr. Voorsanger was progressing with his speech when a quickstep from the band and cheers from the doorway an- nounced the arrival of Julius Kahn. Es- corted by a delegation from the club, Mr. Kahn was about to take his seat, but the audience wouldn't have it that way. why every ornia should was not a bit quiet about saying so. Mr. Kahn said he had not come to make & speech, because it was a matter of fact that all Bears knew as much about party Issues as he did. “I've only come here to help you ratify in advance,” said Mr. Kahn, “but in doing so I am going to say a few things that are of particular {m- portance to us all at this time. “I have long had the honor of belng a Bear among vou and I can vouch for the enthusiasm of this club for everything Republican.

Shall the people of this State hold up his hands and help him with the plans that he has for the fu- ture? This is paramount. Even our ad- versaries admit that he has given us a wise, a broad, an honest administration, He least we can do is to y so by te on the 8th of the coming month. “We of this State have more at stake than any of the other States in the Union.

He also said he had heard that there were many who were o ignorant of their du- ties as good citizens that in the coming election they were going to “‘plumping. “That said Judge Troutt, *vote for only one or two nomi- nees for an office when there are three or four running for the office on the same ticket.

There was a letup in the serious busi- ness at this point and the Waterman sis- filled in the interval with a number ver campaign SOngs. Congressman Eugene F. Loud came next. “I find,” began Mr. Loud, “that you have Indorsed the singers and have falrly elected Judge Troutt and I have come to the conclusion that this is more a ratification meeting than anything else.

That’s consist- ent, isn’'t it? If Thomas Jefferson could rise out of his honored grave and see his dishonored progeny he'd return to his dust and ashes and be glad to get back. Ex-Supreme Court Justice Van R.

James D. Phelan he arraigned as the has been never of in his attack upon the Supreme judi- ciary and argued that because the court did not decide in the Supervisor case in | the way that Phelan demanded they were not of necessity corrupt. In closing Judge Paterson paid a trib- ute to his former colleagues that found a response in the mighty shout of ap- proval that went up from the throats of his thousand hearers. Judge Paterson was followed by all of the local candidates in turn, and the crowd stayed late to hear them through. Following is a list of the vice presi- dents of the meeting: General Warfleld, R.

The Democratic party has broken not | only the pledges made in both State, leg- islative and municipal conventions but | also a portion of the law to regulate the purity of elections by issuing a number of posters bearing neither cae name of the printer nor the label of the Allied Print- ing Trades Council, and from present in- dications somebody will be jobliged to “pay the fiddler.” Sectfon 10 of the purity of election law reads as follows: Every bill, placard, poster, pamphlet or other printed matter having reference to an election or to any candidat hall bear upon the face | the: the name and address of the printer | and blisher thereof, and no payment shall be made or allowed unless such address is 80 printed. The State convention of the Democratic arty indorsed the label of the Allied >rinting Trades Council, the municipal convention indorsed this action and can- all their work should bear this guarantee | of unfon workmanship. Yet, in spite of | all these pledges and in spite of the State | law, placards were freely distributed along Market street yesterduy afternoon bearing neither the label nor the imprint | of the printer—simply the name of the publisher, who .has ween a notorious patron of non-union offices for years. | Added to this is the fact that the party | must have known what it was about, as | officers of the Allied Printing Trades | Council afirm that lists of all the offices | in the city privileged to use the label | were freely distributed at the headquar- ters of the parties and a copy mailed to each candidate.

Much indignatuion has been expressed over the matter by unlon men throughout the city, who are accustomed to look for the labe! before they look at the job, and it is broadly hinted that the matter will be brought to the attention of the Grand Jury, as the offense is punishable by a nse of Repub- | fine of from $100 to $5000, or proportionate s and I have found it an |imprisonment No principles ever pro- | Politics in the Encinal City. ALAMEDA, Oct. 25.—Local Republicans are much exercised over the attempt of Ma- | an independent candidate for a township office to advertise himself as a regular | Republican nominee. D. T. Hard sought | the nomination for Justice of the Peace | at the San Leandro convention. He: was | defeated by Harry Morris, and straight | away announced himself as an independ- ent. Party lines are rather closely drawn in Alameda. Mr. Hard pooled issues with a regular Republican nominee for Consta- ble, and the two Issued a card, which has openly been declared by the party man- agers an attempt to mislead the voters. Their names appear together In bold type, followed by the caption, “Regular Repub- lican nominee.” The caption 1Is in the singular, but is made to fit elther one of the candidates. John Hackett, who is running for the office of County Assessor, Nas been adopt- ed by the independent party. The formal announcement was made &t a _recent meeting of the party held at Encinal Tiall. The independents refused to indorse Henry Dalton, and were without a candi- dste for the office until Mr. Hackett nad a falling out with his own Democratic party and concluded to go it alone. sty Democrats at North Beach. A meeting of the Democrais was held last night in Garibaldl Hall at North Beach. The retinue of speakers went the rounds of several other eetings and Janded before the audlence one after an- other. Mayor Phelan repeated the hack- neyed tale of the brassy grasp of corpo- rate power, and chuckled over the fact that the yellow Third-street organ’s buzz- saw ripped off something this morning about the Southern Pacific Company be- ing in politics. He was followed by Washington Dodge and his bundle of charts, after which E. P. Mogan outlined his official policy, saying that in slight offenses he did not believe in administer- ing flagrant punishment, where a repri- mand would subserve the ends of jus- "?filorge H. Cabaniss was loudly applaud- ed at the conclusion of his remarks and the remainder of the speakers occupied the attentions of their -listeners until a Jate hour.

TS Friends of J. A. Drinkhouse. The friends of J. A. Drinkhouse, the Republican and Non-Partisan candidate for Public Administrator, are organizing clubs in his interest in various sections of the city. The J. A. Drinkhouse Club of the Fortieth Assembly District met last evening at 1500 Broderick street, and organized by the election of Fred C. Nob- man Jr. as president and Willlam Podd as secretary. The club, consisting of 140 members, resolved to divide itself into recinct organizations and canvass the g‘ome(h District in the interest of Mr. Drinkhouse’s candidacy. e Aigeltinger Club Formed.

PHELAN OVERLOOKS FACTS Some Matters the Autocrat Fails to Touch Upon in His Self-Adulations. James D. Phelan, autocrat of the local Democracy and political purist, in again seeking the suffrage of the people of San Francisco, nightly goes upon the platform and talks of the great good he has ac- complished, of the high regard in which he holds the humble followers in his train; of his efforts in their behalf, and, above all, of his loyalty to the party that invested him with the robe of office. Mayor James D. Phelan may make himself believe the words he iter- ates and reiterates six days and nights in the week, but nobody else is hoodwinked by them, for Mayor Phelan’s record is too recent and too glaring to deceive anybody but the few who are wilfully blind to the hol- lowness of his pretensions. From the very first Mayor Phelan insulted and ignored the ones who placed him where he is, trampling on their rights and privileges with the imperiousness of a Nero, and this course he has consistently followed down to the present time, when he asks his_victims to believe that what he has done was for their best interests, as they were and are totally in- competent to be intrusted with any voice in the®ffairs of their party. Mayor Phelan, since the campaign opened, has found it expedient to discard the silk tile of aristocracy and don the felt hat of the masses, but he could not change his instincts with his headgear, and even as he talks to those who will listen his sensibilities rise’ in unbidden revolt against his honied words. The appointment of the Democratic County Committee of One Hun- dred by Mayor Phelan, which afterward resolved itself into the Demo- cratic municipal nominating convention at Mayor Phelan’s instance, is a striking instance of that individual's total disregard for political pro- prieties or the rights of his political followers. . The Democratic dis- tricts south of Market street that placed him in office were meagerly and grudgingly recognized in Mr. Phelan’s selections, while the aristocratic and Republican districts of Nob and Russian hills, Pacific Heights and the Western Addition were drawn upon for 75 per cent of his members. To be exact, the nine Democratic Assembly districts furnished twenty-seven members of the Committee of One Hundred, while the nine Republican districts contributed seventy-three members. The following table shows the Democratic or Republican majority in each Assembly District in the city two years ago, and the number of committeemen selected from each district: 9681 ‘K3La0fuy ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS. ‘9681 “£I1a0f BN dBISOWaA(]| ueoyqudayy sesriegrag JO Jequiny| ~woW 29} ~jruru o ) Twenty-eighth Twenty-ninth .

Totals . ese 3651 = 2 3 There is one error in this table, for recent developments have shown that the autocrat of the Democracy could only find ninety-nine members of his party in this city whom he regarded as fit to associate himself with, and was obliged to go over to the English colony of Sausalito for his hundredth member, Mr. M. H. Hernan. That was the first open evidence of the great disesteem in which Mayor Phelan held the San Francisco Democracy; the first time he pub- licly announced to the Democratic strongholds that there were none within their boundaries who were his equals in the social and political plane; the first time he told his followers they were incompetent to man- age and control their own affairs. The second announcement of this character Mayor Phelan made was when his self-appointed Committee of One Hundred, then acting in the capacity of a nominating convention, ignored those same Democratic strongholds and again turned to the aristocratic Republican districts to supply his Supervisorial material. In five wards not a Democrat could be found acceptable to the autocrat of his party, and five silk-tiled, kid- gloved carpet-baggers were dispatched from their luxurious homes to seck temporary residences in the south of Market street and water-front wards in order that these incompetents might be properly represented in the Supervisors’ chambers, according to Mayor Phelan’s ideas. Mayor Phelan has so frequently shown his poor opinion of the hon- esty and intelligence of his followers that it is not to be wondered at, in his daily and nightly self-laudations, he takes it for granted that his hear- ers will not recall his acts that, if remembered, woutd not endear himself to them. He does not expect the great mass of people to remember when he tells them of his vetoing of the city’s gas bills, that he is a heavy stock- holder in an opposition company that is seeking to gain control of the city’s lighting, and that his hold-up of the rival company's money may have been for the purpose of harassing a concern opposed to his own company. Nor does he expect his audience to look back to the campaign of two years ago, when the autocrat spent his patrimony by thousands to secure his election, and afterward made affidavit that his campaign ex- penses amounted to something like $250. Mayor Phelan’s followers are too dense, in his estimation, to take heed of the time when a representative of the gas company was before him for examination, and in reply to the Mayor's questioning said the company paid its lamplighters $40 a month, whereat the Mayor was righteously wroth and replied that $25 was enough for them. Nor of another occasion when told by an employe of the Spring Valley Water Company that its laborers were paid $2 a day, at which Mr. Phelan ex- pressed his disapproval by saying that $1 50 a day was ample for work- ingmen. Then there is that firewood pavement. Nobody is expected to question the motive that led the autocrat to deface nearly an entire block on Market street by putting down a pavement of tar and redwood splinters in preference to the substantial California product of bitumen on a solid concrete foundation. If it was because the Mayor is also financially interested in the company that laid it and wanted to introduce it to the citizens of San Francisco as a monument to shifty and shiftless street work, he carefully refrains from mentioning the fact in his harangues. b Another thing the autocrat fails to discuss in its entirety, and which he relies on the ignorance of his people to overlook, is his conduct in the matter of the ousting of the Board of Supervisors. Mayor Phelan seeks to make much political capital out of that episode, and in his shuffling of facts he is ingenious, not to say expert. But one old-line Democrat, Auditor William Broderick, whom until Mayor Phelan saw fit to discard as unfit for his charmed circle a majority of the people thought emi- nently capable of filling one of the most important offices in their gift, has comie forward and drawn attention to a few points the Mayor has reirained from touching upon. According to the decision of Judge Wal- lace the board could be ousted, but it must be ousted as a whole, which decision Mayor Phelan has always upheld. If men are removed from office under such conditions they are ineligible to hold public office in this State for all time, yet Mayor Phelan sought to and did place four of them (Lackmann, Clinton, Dodge and Rottanzi) back in their old posi- tions, and has placed Dodge and Lackmann on his ticket now before the people, for Assessor and Supervisor, respectively. Another point brought to light by Mr. Broderick is the worthlessness of the bonds offered by Mr. Phelan for ten of the Supervisors he selected at that time. The appointments were actually made on September 16, but a typewritten corporation bond. prepared under Mayor Phelan’s di- rection and presented to the Auditor by Colonel Sullivan, . the Mayor’s secretary, read: “Whereas, was appointed a Supervisor on the 15th day of September,” etc. This discrepancy in dates rendered the bonds worthless, and Mayor Phelan was submitted to a rigid examin- ation on that point by Garret McEnerney when the case was tried before the Superior Court. Denman and Lackmann furnished their own bonds, which were regular and binding. > Mayor Phelan has been entirely frank with his followers in so far as he has branded them moral and mental incompetents; equally frank in his references to himself? why is he not Fe R BB BB R R R R R R R e R R FeReRog-RepRotoReFutetugoRotoRugeBegeeReaReFegeguFagadogegogatetatoRetufetogafefoRaaPagesaegafetegefeofegegaFegagePagagofeeguagagaPagatagugogegatoteetafalatefaagepedepele ey e gy e e e e ol ol e e e e e e e e ey e R R g =R ART WARE AND ANTIQUE FURNITURE, THE P.

A REPUBLICAN RALLY. South-of-Market Street Voters. place of meeting, but it was filled with Republican enthusiasm lsst evening. It was full to the doors with Republicans and the enthusiasm extended to the over- flow on the outside. If last “evening’s demonstration is any indication of what may be expected of the votérs of the dis- trict on the $th of next month, it is safe to say that the Democratic candidates wiil not have much to boast of from that part of the town. Among the early arrivals was Charles L. Patton, candidate for Mayor, who, up- on entering the hall, was received with round after round of cheers. In a brief address he stated his position in campaign _in a pleasant, manner that at once won hearts and confldence of the audience, D. ney, delivéred a short address. around to see how much money there is, he will see that the money is counted and not “hefted.” A.

The words are to be sung to the tune of “The Jolly Sophomore.” In “‘heftum’ Phelan trusted; but, oh, his trusts were valn: The sacks were very heavy, he used his might and main. gentle Jimmy dear, why did you try that game? Was it to beat the city, lad, or were your rists just lame! The best laid plans of mice and men do often fall apart, The best laid plans of mice and men do often fall anart.

A mass meeting of Silver Republicans was held in Saratoga Hall last night, which to all outward ap- pearances was a flat failure. Although bonfires hlazed on the corners adjacent to the hall and a band tooted for a full half hour in front of the building, the room was but partially fllled and the ma- jority of those who came in soon left. D. J. Dexter presided and urged the cause of free silver and James G. Ma- guire, carefully backing away from the single tax, which he claimed was not an issue. Nathan Polk of Los Angeles and J. Ingalls of Oakland made short sSpeeches on the necessity of a strong or- faplntlun of free silverites. . P. Hol- land was then introduced as the speaker of the evening. He read the Chicago plat- form of 18%, and made & general free silver speech.

To instance this it will only be necessary to point out the many .cases where the single tax monstrosity has failed to keep its ap- pointment with the people where meetings were advertised but did not materialize. During all of yesterday several small boys were promised an abundance of elec~ tion cards if they would hustle about the base of Lone Mountain and gather a lot of brush to make a bonfire at the junction of Point Lobos and Masonic avenues, as a beacon of light for the wayfarers to come into “Hefting Jimmy’'s” net. The brush V. ected and made into a good sizéd p, and when 8 o’clock came a match as set to the pile. But no speakers came, much to the disgust of the man who gave the use of his upstairs living apartments as a hall and who had ordere an extra supply of sharp steam beer for the thirsty crowd lh% did not come.
