He Discusses the Past Record of the Democratic Party| and Shows That Prosperity Has Only Been Had Under Republican Admin- istrations. Webstar ' Davis, dward’s .

The way to do_this is to send to Congress such men as-Mr. Loud and Mr. Kahn.” (Applause.) r. Davis next scored the Democratic Populistic members of Congress, who, their “filibustering tactics, had at- tempted-to.oppose €very method advocat- ed by the President, and in this particular e showed that the Democratic members om this State were no exception. Upon \is portion of his subject he spoke as fol- yws: : My friends, thé majority of the Demo- 1d Populist . members of Lon- g the last year have not stood stration; they have not stood e United States.

No administration. in | the history of our nation has wrought s0 | much In the same space of time.. It stands hout a parallel and has astonished the | world. It began its career under the most | unfavorable circumstances.. The people | were discouraged and restless; $263,000,000 in bonds with interest running . thirty | years which when due will amount to the fabulous sum of $607,600,000 had been issued by the preceding Democratic administra- tion in the piping times of peace. Our national treasury was bankrupt, and on | every hand could be heard the murmurs of discontent. Farmers were suffering from falling prices and were placing mort- gages on their farms; grain was wasting in the flelds and fruit decaying in the or- chards for want of buyers; dust covered and factories, silent looms and shut- | prevailed everywhere. The firés had | gone_out upon American furnaces under the Wilson tariff law to- illuminate .those | across the sea. Upon every hand was idle: ness and wretchedness, fearful.strikes oc- curred in all parts of the country, while'l Coxey armies plodded along many a-dusty. | road on their way to-the national capital’| to pray for relief from tlie hardship of a Democratic administration.. e “Amid scenes and. conditions ‘like’ these our present Republican . administration began its career, and-behold the glorfous result.

Spicy Meeting in Metropolitan T ple — Legislative Candidates Discuss the Issues of the Campaign. The- Democrats ' who assembled at Metropolitan Temple last evening were made aware, from-the lips of their can- dtdates, that there is lack of harmony in“the ranks of their party. Eloquent speakers. also made plain the fact that ;.such a“condition is regretted; also that an effort is now being made to join to- gether in one fold the warring factions, if- such -can be done over the head and without' recognizing the power that rests.in the hands of Samuel Rainey. Porter Ashe, Democratic candidate forSenator from- the Twenty-fourth District, laid bare his wishes and it was whispered that to the world he voiced the: sentiments of his colleagues. *“I understand that there are reports of coalition between the warring factions of “:the - Democratic party,” said Mr. Ashe;. “and the news I welcome. I be- lieve. all Democrats - should stand to- gether in the interest of our common cause, that we may be better able to copé with our opponeénts, but if in any way or form Samuel Judas Rainey is 4cknowledged by those he has wronged 1 say here that they can’t buy me, and T further announce that when I go to the: Legislature I will be foremost among those to advocate the forming of a. Lexow committee, the object of which -will be to see if that fat scoun- drél cannot bé choked off in the body polftte.” This . denunciation of the great Rainey "was recelved with a howl of approval, and a dog bearing a sign on its back heraldin~ the candidacy of the speaker set up a bark and howl that made ‘the welkin ring. But Ashe had others on his-list of whom he wished to |'speak, so' the crowd was stilled, the dog taken-iirto the o--n and the speak- L-er continued. “I‘find. thit T am opposed by all that is:bad and evil in the Republican party and- by the police department of- this city, -my - servarts. The corrupt in- fluence of the police department is di- rected against me by one whose posi- city, although it.was forced upon them by -Governor Markham during the last ew hours of his reign. I am going to speak of Gunst and if he has a friend here I am glad, as I want him to go to Gunst and tell him how high I esteem him. When Gunst was appointed the people were paralyzed. We all remem- ber the indignation meetings held in this -very hall and how the papers, ir- respective of party, joined in demand- ing ‘his resignation. His friends on their knees begged a suspension of pub- lic opinion, begged the people to give him ‘a chance to redeem himself, but what has he done? Thrown the police department into the mud and mire of politics, & thing to which Crowley, God bless him, would never have stooped. I am opposed by Gunst. Why? He knows when I go to the Senate it will be to support the charter which will tear out his political life from the roots. Then that old fool Lees can be cast out where he belongs.” M. F. Tarpey was chairman of the meeting. He was presented by the temporary chairman and said: “The issues of this campaign, which is rap- istrator, as a friend of labor, but the fact has just leaked out that the delegates | who were instrumental in the presenta- | tion and adoption of the measure got the | warmest kind of & Teception when they | returned to thelr respective unfons. In fact, in many of the bodies resolutions | were adopted condemning the measure | and the men who voted for it. | P. H. McCarthy of Carpenters’ Unlon No. 22 is president of the council. = An- other prominent member is James W. Rose of the Paper Hangers' Union, who, it will be remembered, was for a time a clerk in the Registrar's office, and while there - registered Bdward L. Fitzgerald, despite the fact that Mr. Fitzgerald was | already registered in Alameda County. He also stands sponsor for the famous affidavit alleging Fitzgerald has lived in this county for years. Mr. McCarthy- went back to- his unjon the - night- after the resolutions ‘were idly drawing to a close, have been gen- erally discussed throughout the State, and it is now proposed to make San Francisco the arena of battie until the election i{s over.” The speaker then explained the object of the meeting, that of presenting the candidates for legislative office to the people. Frank J. Heany, John A. Wright and James G. Booth followed in the order named. Mr, Booth’s address was short and pointed. He sald that he was go- ing to the Legislature for several pur- poses. He was going for the civic health of the city, not his own, to see that the new charter was adopted, to see a good primary law enacted, to see that the poor children have free text- books in the public schools. Mr, Booth was roundly cheered and retired. Curtis Hillyer, Mr. Hanrahan, W. C. White, D. 8. O'Brien, J. M.

The gental nominee :for Mayor was in the middle of an explanation:that he wouldn't buy & gold brick if it was the puré quill, when his escorts pushed him through a door into the presence of two score of the students of the Stn(f_entg' Re- _publican Club at 29 Hunt street. _It took him half an hour to tell his new-found friends that 1f elected Mayor he would try to do the right thing and they sent him on his wnr with a rousing assurance that they believed him.

AFFIRMATIONS AND DENIALS PRESIDENT REYNOLDS SCORES PHELAN’S JOB-CHASERS. Attempt ifade to Howl Down Ex- Judge Murphy by Some Row- dies, but It Was Not Successful. 044 Fellows' Hall was crowded to the doors last night at the meeting: of the In- dependent Municipal Club. There was an unruly element in the meeting whose sympathies were with the Democratic speakers. It broke out In force when, after Dr. Clinton had vicious- ly attacked Assessor Siebe, Judge Mur- phy defended the Assessor. The Judge was howled at, but he stood his ground and, aided by the determined attitude of the president, the rioters were subdued. The president, Charles A. Reynolds, in his introductory remarks, said: “This is not a plece club nor is it looking for any political office. The Examiner has. ad- mirably put before the citizens a piece club known as the United Labor party, and now an attempt is being made to put in the position of a. plece club the com- mittee of 450, which has been offered by the convention of one hundred one-third of the patronage of this city and county. Whether or not this committee of 450 is for sale will be determined to-morrow night. “I am not here to make a speech. Just let me say that our idea is that the peo- ple of this city and county are looking for honest men because they have been disappointed in party organizations and conventions and mean to simply look in the faces of the candidates to determine whether there can be discerned honesty or deceit. The club has taken upon itself after due deliberation to recommend to the people for the judiciary men who are known to be honsst, have been tried and found worthy. We recommend the elec- tion of Frank J. Murasky, Rhodes Bor- den, J. M. Seawell and J. M. Troutt.” President Reynolds in turn introduced F. J, Murasky and Rhodes Borden, who briefly referred to their candidacy and returned their thanks. The president then read a letter from Judge Troutt re- gretting his inability to be present. Police Judge Low, Thomas F. Graham and A. B. Treadwell, candidates for Po- lice Judge, were recelved with great ap- plause and delivered brief addresses. Dr. Washington Dodge, aided by a lonfi pole and elaborate drawings, discusses the assessment department and endeav~ ored to show what a blessing to the citi- zens would result if he were elected As- sessor. As the president introduced Frank H. Kerrigan, candidate for Justice of the Peace, he remarked that every Demo- crat in the city, himself among the num- ber, should vote for him. The candidate blushingly stepped forward and expressed his thanks. Dr. C. A. Clinton, candidate for Super- visor, commenced by attacking Assessor Siebe. He attempted to show that during his term as Supervisor he had been in- strumental in carrying through all good measures. In vehement language he sald that the remarks of the president to the effect that Mayor Phelan had made a dicker with a boss to give one-third of the patronage of the city was absolutely and unequivocally untrue. Ex-Judge Murphy denounced Dr. Clin- ton’s attack upon- Assessor Siebe, whom he characterized as an honest and capable man. Before Mayor Phelan spoke President Reynolds read a letter from Charles L. Patton that his other engagements would not permit him to be present, which he regretted as he desired to meet Mayor Phelan on the same platform and ex- pected to have done so when he addressed the club at its last m"e“"% Three rous- |n§ cheers were given for Patton. Mayor Phelan's friends cheered him as he stepped forward. He denied that he hs‘(Jl madc or offered any compromise with a boss. ‘The other speakers were Dr. Leland, Joseph arry, Judge Joachimsen, Judge Conlan, Edwin Head, Willlam Can- non, Benjamin Armer, Isildore Gutte and John Lackmann. There were several other candidates on the platform, but at 11 o’clock the president declared the meet- ing adjourned POTRERO HEARS PHELAN. Scant Audience Turns Out to Greet Democratic Nominees. The usual audience did not greet the Democratic nominees who last evening addressed the voters of the Potrero. Those who did turn out, however, were enthuslastic and listened attentively to the speakers. Mayor Phelan was first to speak, and upon a suggestion from the audience, opened his speech with a strong, theugh not specific, denial of the 'charge that he had solicited the aid of Rainey and the disaffected Democrats. He also denied Buckley and roasted both the bosses with all the power of his excellent English. He and his fellow Democrats, he said, would g0 it alone In their fight for principle and the people. Recognizing that his audience was one of hard working people he took occasion to_deny. that he had recommended the reduction of lamp lightérs’ salaries-from $40. to ‘325, but he falled to reiterate his statement that City Hall. janitors were paid too much: for their work when they were allowed to draw warrants for $75 a -month.
