8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1898. MAYOR’S AGENTS M. F. Tarpey Acted as the Spe- cial Commis sioner of W. R. Hearst. Mayor. James D. Phelan, not content with having betrayed his ‘friends. and broken his sacred:pledges by ‘offering to sell out his party organization::ta Sam Ralney and Major P.’J.' Harney, has resorted to falsehood. to COVEr. .up the treacherous act .of: which-he has still' sufficient merit-to’ be: amed. In an interview with a representative of this ‘paper- yesterday he stated-— knowing that his itements were for publi n—that “there has: not-bsef nd will not be any promise or agrei nt to.turn o the ~organization aning ‘the organization -of -the: Joeal | ocracy- as now represented:by ‘the ittee -of One Hundred.

The promise was- first made: to, jor Harney and later to the Harne Rainey campalgn committee: by M. Fii Tarpey, who stated that he ‘spoke:-as the authorized agent of W. 'R.

Mr. Tarpey says that | these thines occurred, and Mr. Tarpey | is known from one end of the State:to:| the other as 'a gentleman of ‘unim- peachable integrity and veracity. Ma- jor Harney says that these things oc- curred and Major Harney is the man:| to whom the promises were made and | who would gain nothing by a misrepre- sentation of the facts. These are the facts. Tt is left for the reader to decide whether or not| any one of the gentlemen whose names have been mentioned is guilty of hav- ing told a deliberate falsehood. It is not unbelievable that a man who would be false to his pledges, un- true to this friends and who would bar- ter the patronage of the city govern- ment for the support of men whom he has accused of being guiltv of every crime short of murder, would resort to To make it stronger—for. there:| [ falsehiood ‘to- conceal’ his infamy from'| the people ‘before. whom: he:has posed as'a‘man apart, = model:of offielal pur- ity ‘and the personification of ‘all the virtues. *Such a'man ds this would hot. only.

The management of the party will not be turned over to us, but a committee made up from both factions will be appointed in case the Legisla- ture does not pass some. primary law. This committee will control the party management ‘and will probably call & primary election a year from now if no law is.passed in the meantime. “We had a meeting yesterday at the Harbor - Commissioners’ office.. The campaign commniittee was there and a number of representatives of the other faction; ‘and the campalgn committee agreed with the other side that for the sake of party ‘harmony we had better reunite.” “What inducements were - held out, major—what. patronage was offered you by the. other side?* “Well,” now,” replied Harney, “I de- cline ‘to be interviewed on that point. ‘We consider the patronage an insig- nificant 'matter, anyway. ‘What we are working for: is ' principle. We want - every. man in the ‘party to have fair representation. and that they have agreed to glve us. “But you won't give patronage the overlook, even though it is:an insignifi- cant consideration?"’ £ Vell, no;:we: will-have our share of ] any patronage. that there may be -as well as‘other’ Democrats; but we con- siderthat ‘a-small matter. .

Last evening Major Harney sent out notices to his committee of 450 to meet this. evening at 8 o'clock at Pio- neer Hall for the purpose of either ac- cepting or rejecting Mayor Phelan's offer to give the Harney-Rainey Demo- crats one-third of the patronage of the city government and the control of the party organization in return for their support of his candidacy. SPOKE THEIR PIECES. Voters of the Thirty-First Hear the Democratic Candidates on Local Issues. An audience of 250 of the voters of the Thirty-first District assembled last even- Ing at the Grand Central Hotel, 530 Third street, to hear the candidates on the Dem- oeratic State and municipal tickets. Not many of the speakers turned up, John F. Twigg for the Senate, and Willlam = G. Burke and T. F. Bonnet, representing the local ticket, being the only ones to arrive. Mr. Bonnet referred to his past record as License Collector and promised an equally honest administration of the af- fairs of the Bheriff’s office should he be elected. Willlam G. Burke, Democratic: candi- date for Police Judge, followed in a eulogy of “Jimmy the: Hefter,” Mr. Burko told the audience that his personal election expenses would not go one cent over 3400, because he was & bellever In municipal purity and didn’t believe in handing out cash to the boys to secure his election. This - statement was recelved with a discouraging silence and several audible groans of dissatisfaction. John F. Twigg, who aspires to the Sen- ate, dealt at some length with his inten- tions In case of his election. Mr. Twigg pledged his abilities to the best Interests of his constituents and promised an honest sixty days in Sacra- mento. He was well recetved. The Mayor and a number of other local nominces were expected, but to the disap- pointment of the audierice dfd not arrive. —— With Silken Banners. The G. C. E. Club ‘gave an entertain- ment and snow party in Union Square Hall last night, at which there were a number of handsome ladies and gallant gentlemen and not a few candidates. The feature of the evening was a grand march led by twenty young ladfes, all at- tired in white, and twenty gentlemen act- ing as their escorts, each carrying a snow-white silken banner, each banner bearing the name of a Republican candi- date. The banenr In the lead was the one bearing on its face the name of Charles L. Patton. The idea was something new and was appreciated by the audience, as was shown by the loud and frequent ap- plause. During the march the partici- pants were covered with imitation snow showered upon them from the gallery. ‘sne affair was under the management of William Ralph__ Elliot, resident; Mrs. William Ralph Elliot, chairman; Alfred P.
