A song was then announced and a quartet extolled the virtues of all Democrats to the tune of a forgotten *‘coon’’ song. Then the speeches began. Frank Molly, H. S. Jenner, Louls P. Ward, Samuel Mckee, 1. ‘'Woodman, Herman Gudstat and Willlam M. Hinton, in the order named, | addressed the meeting. All had the same the story of the laborer's the wrongs that had been done him by the “green-eyed monster, monopoly. The corporations were firsf attacked, then the Republican candidates, and lastly the “unimpeachable integrity and honor” of all adherents of Democracy was impressed upon the audience. James H, Barry finally made his ap- pearance. He was presented to the gath- ering and said: “Ladles and gentlemen and fellow craftsmen—I have spoken at many meetings since the opening of this campaign, some much larger than this, but no audience ever filled me with more pride than this before me. I am proud to be here, proud after hearing all that has been said of me by men who know me best. I feel unworthy of this most friend- ly demonstration, but it will only lead me to strive for higher and nobler thoughts and deeds. I am proud that I belong to the ranks of labor and as such I will go to Congress.” The speaker then, like those that preceded him, opened up an attack on the corporations and Republicans, ex: tolled the Virtues of Phelan, Maguire and himself, and continued on in this strain until interrupted by a voice from the gal- lery with: “We'll elect the three Jim- mies.” “Yes we_will elect the three Jim- mies, Maguire, Phelan and Barry,” an- swered the speaker, “and on November § we will give the corporations the jim- jams.” This sally was followed by a shout of approval and when it had died away the speaker continued for a few story to tell, sufféring an sands for killing and wronging my fellow man.” The speaker next pointed to the fallacy | of the statement made by the Examiner, | the exponent of the fusionists, that the | funding amendment is the sole issue, and | the speaker carefully explained ' this | amendment, which in the halls of Con- | gress had not been opposed by Maguire, | which had been framed by a Democrat— John T. Morgan of Alabama—improved vy 2 Democrat and voted for by every Dem: cratic and Populistic Senator as” well as by Republicans, and which _cannot be modified by the Legislature. The speaker also touched upon that aileged remedy £ all evils, the single tax. In conclusion aid: | Probably it is my duty to say a few words relative to my position.

Enthusiastic Republican Meeting of the Electors of Hayes Valley. The electors of Hayes Valley turned out in large numbers last night to listen to speeches by the candidates on the Repub- lican municipal ticket in Mowry Hall The meeting was held under the auspices of the Thirty-seventh Assembly District Republican Club, and the utmost enthusi- asm prevalled, George A. Wentworth of fhe Republican campaign committee called the meeting ATTEMPTED T0 - BLACKLIST JUDGE MOGAN A*“‘Scab” Poster That Made Trouble. CHARGED AGAINST PHELAN THE ALLIED PRINTING TRADES COUNCIL STEPS IN. A Contemptible Advertising Scheme Said to Have Been Backed by the Mayor’s Com- mittee. For refusing to submit to the sand- bagging methods of the gang that caused to be printed a large number of sheets containing the photogravure pictures of the local Democratic nominees, Police Judge Mogan, who is a candidate for re- election, has received the condemnation of Phelan and his cohorts. 8o incensed is tne plug hat boss over Mogan's action that he threatens to defeat him at the polls. About a week ago Mogan Was ap- proached by a man, who, after explaining that he had gained the consent of the Democratic State Central Committee to print the pictures of the men who were nominated by Phelan and his celebrated committee of one hundred, informed him that it would be necessary for him to give up $125) before his photograph would be included in the bunch. Mogan refused to be bled and so in- formed the stranger. To the surprise of Mogan's friends the sheets appeared a few days later, but his photograph was not in the group. As the gang asserted that tne posters had to order, and after a few remarks con-|heen printed by order of the Democratic cernin cess of the Republican ticket, both State and local, Introduced Arthur G, Fisk as the chairinan of the meeting. The chair- man stated that it was the duty of every citizen who desired to uphold the national administration to vole for the Republican ticket. Attornes General W. F. Fitzgerald was the first speaker. He spoke of the false of | and malicious charges made by the Demo- | crats of boss rule, and sarcastically re- marked that there was more ‘“boss” in the production of the Democratic ticket | selected by the convention of one hundred han was ever known beforc, and he was 6 mintake Bad satisfied the people would not countenance { R it. Henry N.

He claimed that the Republican electors adopted the charter, and not the Democrats, and he had documentary evi- dence in_his_possession to prove it. J.

Bvi- dently learning of the action of the Trades Council the publishers yesterday had several men visiL the places where the posters had been displaved and tear them down.

PHILIPPINE DEBT WILL DELAY PEACE PARIS, Oct. 20.—While the Spanish e: 1. J, Truman, can- | and American Peace Commissioners now stand upon the thfeshold of the Philippine question, it seems probable | that the United States will take over the entire archipelago. In 1897 Spain issued, by royal decree, bonds in the sum of $40,000,000, to which were pledged the reveres of the Phil- ippines, and to which the Spanish na- tional guarantee was added. From these $40,000,000 of obligations Spain realized $36,000,000 in cash. These $40,- 000,000 represent the Philippine debt, which is entirely outside of the debt of Republican Ciub was organized last night | 114/ %%05°000.000 of the so-called Philip- at Encinal Hall.

Arrearages Date Back to 1889 and Suits Are Still Pending in the Justices’ Courts. Barclay Henley, some time eitizen of | Mexico and present Democratic candidate | for District Attorney, is, and has been for nearly ten years, delinquent in the | payment of his faxes. Mr. Henley takes the platform night af- ter night and dwells upon the unparalleled | honesty of Phelan’s nominees. He howls, stamps and gets purple in the face as he recalls political corruption in times past, but conveniently forgets that he has neg- | lected to pay his pro ratd toward the support of the government of the coun- try in which he now claims citizenship. Suits for unpald taxes have been brought against him time and again, but in some mysterious manner, explained by the initiated as the exercise of a “politi- cal pull,” no judgment has ever been ren- dered, and they are still pending in the Justices' courts. The first on record is 1889, against the firm of Henley, Swift & Rigsby. The | firm paid everything except the State's portion, which with the penalties, is 11 30, In 1890 the firm paid no tax at ail, and is charged with 3. In 1891 the firm was changed to Henley & Swift; no tax was pald, and §7 28 is owing. For the year 1861 Mr. Henley owes $35 44 for taxes on furniture, library, watch and jewelry in the house at 2i31 Green street. In 1863 he filed a sworn statement that he had $10,000 In credits and dues, $400 in money and $165 in jewelry and furniture. His tax was $205 45, gnd the undecided case against him is No. 180,025 in the Justices’ court. On all these there is accumulat- ing an interest at 2 per cent per month. The year 189 finds him again delinquent for the sum of $44 78, and for the year 1897 | the firm of Henley, Bigelow & Costello | owes $1 T4 All these items of indebtedness are al matter of record. Mr. Henley has been noutied in the regular way, and suit will now be brought to recover .ae entire amount. —_——— J. H. BARRY’S SUPPORTERS. ing in Metropolitan Hall. Supporters of James H.

A very successful Republican meeting was held in Mowry’s Hall last night, the people of Hayes Valley turning out in such great numbers that it was neces- sary to hold an overflow meeting outside the hall.

Before these Judges come | Thomas F. | | | | | | | | | matters involving not only the rights of | property and liberty and the claims of litigants, but life and death in crimi- nal prosecutions. The qualifications of candidates require a wide knowledge of civil and criminal jurisprudence. Among the various candidates Judge Davis Louderback is an able jurist of ample attainments and of sound judg- ment. He possesses executive and ju- dicial ability, and would infuse more life in the Superior Court bench, so that ! the crowded calendars of civil cases in some of the departments would be. re- lieved and litigants obtaln trials and Jjustice within reasonable time; and so that in criminal cases murderers and criminals would have justice meted out to them without long delays. He is a conscientious, painstaking, careful and fearless Judge, that would put a stop to the jury frauds and professional jurymen. A change of Judges is re- quired for the public good, and a re- form in the administration of civil and criminal justice is needed. Judge Louderback’s record, character and professional and private life are a guarantee that the dispensation of equity and justice by him would be dis- tinguished by purity and impartiality and free from corporation and political influences. The other candidates on the Republican judicial ticket for the could have seated hundreds more than were present. When the hour for the opening arrived the hall was practically deserted. This was noticed by a gentle- four Superior Court Judgeships are ex- cellent nominees. A vote for Judge Louderback and the other nominees is a vote for a pure and upright judiciary. | ‘'uba is not theirs; but in de- posing Spain in the Philippines the Americans acquire the territory, and it is believed there will be some financial assumption by the United States. Some well informed persons believe that Premier Sagasta has determined to be rid of the Philippines and would direct his commission to sign a treaty by which the United States should take the islands and assume the $40,000,000 of debt. This proposition finds support in the Parisian press, which to-day declares that resistance is impossible and that Spain should abandon the archipelago. Spaniards now in Paris declare the Philippines are a drag, and assert that Spain would lift a_cry of joy to be re- lieved of them if the terrific debt pres- sure should be thus lessened. On the other hand Spaniards at home are clamoring that their commission should bolt the conference, and, in returning, fulfill the highest duty. In these contending currents the Spanish Commissioners are awaiting the American declaration on Monday, and they declare they cannot sign a treaty of peace involving the loss of the Philippines to Spain. It is appreciated by Spaniards and Americans alike that should no treaty result here hostilities will be continued, and both sides clearly understand that in such event the| American fleet would immediately pos- sess the Philippines beyond question and without money consideration to opain. The Canaries would then be an | object of interest to the United States, and possibly other Spanish possessions. PLACERVILLE GREETS NEFF. Torchlight Procession and Rousing Political Meeting. PLACERVILLE, Oct. 20.—There were a torchlight procession and rousing meeting to honor the Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor, J. H. Neff, W. E. McKinlay and J. M. Fulweiler, here to- night.

MORGAN'S BILL 1S SATISFACTORY It Pleases the Maritime Canal Company. OPPOSED BY HUNTINGTON HE WILL SEEK TO DEFEAT ITS PASSAGE. Men to Whom Nicaragua Govern- ment Granted a Concession Are Believed to Be Merely Speculating. Special Dispatch to The Call Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, Oct. 29. It can be authoritatively stated that the Nicaraguan canal bill reported by Senator Morgan and now on the Sen- ate calendar substantially represents the views of the Maritime Canal Com- pany upon all important points. The Maritime Company will have no new propositions to make to Congress at the coming session, but will direct all its efforts toward the passage of the Morgan bill. While the sentiment in .favor of building the canal has been largely augmented by events of the war the representatives of Mr. Huntington of the Southern Pacific are confidently predicting that the Morgan bill will never get through Congress. During the past week it has been alleged here that J. J. Hill of the Great Northern Railway was co-operating with Mr. Huntington in his opposition to the bill. The Maritime Company’s agents do not believe Hill will become an ally of the Huntington interests. The information from Nicaragua that Edwin F. Cragin, Edward Eyre and Frank S. Washburne will receive from the Nicaraguan Government a conces- sion for a canal across that country was no surprise to those in Washington who are familiar with the affairs of the Nicaraguan Canal Company. Mr. Cra- gin is a Chicago promoter, not an en- gineer, Mr. Eyre is from New York and represents considerable capital and Mr. Washburn, who also is from New York, is an engineer and contractor. ‘While nothing definite is known about the amount of capital represented by these men it is believed they are pre- pared to put up a stiff fight for the con- cession and if necessary could secure enough backing to float bonds, and, perhaps, to construct the canal. It is, however, thought that they intend rather to dispose of when it is obtained, either to the Mari- time Canal Company, which holds the present concession, or to other parties desirous of constructing the canal rather than undertake the task them- selves. The fact that under the terms of the concession they are authorized to nego- tiate with the Maritime Canal Com- pany leads many to believe it rather a speculation than a bona fide business proposition. As affairs stand now the cogcesslon held by the Maritime Canal Company holds good until next October and this company has done a great deal of work in the way of surveying and even in actual construction of the canal. The Maritime Canal Company is not concerning itself about the congessions made to the Atlas Company. s rep- resentatives hold that concessions made to this company in no way conflict with the canal concession. As this is the ground taken by the Nicaraguan Gov- ernment the company thinks that ought to be sufficient. The bill introduced in Congress by Senator Morgan provides that the United States Government shall be- come the actual though not the visible owner of the canal. It is proposed that | the Government shall put up the money for the construction and retain a ma- jority of the stock and control the af- fairs of the corporation. It is believed that by this method international com- plications could be avoided. The Nicaraguan Canal Commission has made a thorough survey of the ground. It is now engaged on its re- port, which will be submitted in about a month. There is no doubt this com- mission will represent that the build- ing of the canal is perfectly feasible and there is no difficulty in the way which cannot be surmounted. J. V. WEBSTER COMES OUT FOR MR. GAGE Populist Nominee for Governor Four Years Ago Urges Support of Republican Ticket. SAN LUIS OBISPO, Oct. 20.—At a Re- publican rally at Paso Robles to-night J. V. Webster, who four years ago was the Populist nominee for Governor of California, mounted the platform and came out squarely for Gage, Waters and State Senator Smith of Bakersfield. Mr. ‘Webster urged Populists to vote the Re- publican ticket as a rebuke to the oifice seekers who had sold out his party in an infamous fusion deal, and in repudiation of the single tax policy favored by Ma- guire, the fusion nominee for Governor. et et Rallies in Solano County.
