THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1898. 1, & MAGUIRE DENOUNCED BY JOHN P, IRISH Inside of the Funding Bill Issue. IT WAS FAVORED BY WHITE MAGUIRE STANDS ALONE IN HIS BIASED O.INION.

Irish, a Democrat of the old school, in the name of the memory of the once honored policy of his party and In the name of justice, tcok the platform at Metropolitan Temple last night and in eloquent words denounced the methods now pursued by the fusion candidate for Governor, showed where those things Maguire considers issues are false issues | and brought to light true issues that have been obscured behind the vell of the false.

'RAILROAD HOBBY RIDDEN ALL THE SPELLBINDERS SANG THE SAME OLD SONG. Senator White, Governor Budd, May- or Phelan, W. H. Alford and Others Addressed the Assemblage. Mechanics’ Pavillon was filled last night by men and women who wished to hear the issues of the present State and local campaign expatiated upon by the leaders of the fusion forces. But two or three of the noted speakers hai sufficiently pen- etrating voices to reach the people forty feet from the stand, and as these few said practically all the others repeated, there was no occasfon for the outsiders to strain their ears. Lieutenant Governor Jeter called the assemblage to order by pounding on an anvil. He attempted to say a few words issues that have been raised during this campaign, and a statement as well on the true issues that have been hidden. The battle has been sounding now more than two months, and to me it seems that campaigners have been appealing to the prejudices and passions of the people and have sadly neglected principles. “The fusion candidate for Governor, of whom I speak with the greatest respect, has considered it his duty to confine himself to one matter, and that matter which he considers an issue I consider a false issue and therefore no issue. Be- hind that matter, however, he has veiled e of which I wish to ter most referred to by the on candidate, is what is called the ng bill.

TTORNEYS COMPLIMENT CHARLES CURRY Commend His Work as County Clerk. Many of the representative men of the | legal profession in this city have joined in commending the administration of Charles F. Curry as County Clerk. Through his office pass all the documents | pertaining to the courts and offices of the city. The attorneys are thus brought into close relationship with the County Clerk and his deputies. These men bear testi- mony to Mr. Curry’'s executive ability, | and to the courtesy and attentiveness of | the men whom he selected as assistants in his office. The memorial from the at- torneys follows: “We, the undersigned attorneys, who have for saveral years last past had much business in the office of the County Clerk of the city and county of San Francisco, and who believe that it is simply an act of justice due to Charles F. Curry, irre- spective of our party affiliations, to make the followi statement in his behalf, hereby cert our opinions as follows: We have found the deputies in his offic thoroughly obligl competent and at- tentive men, quite much so as in any revious administration. We have found ixl': clerks and appointees courteous and in their attentions. We believe iled work of the office has been competently administered. v our belief in Mr. Curry’s exec- y and are confident of his en- alifications for an office demand- at “kind of ¢ ity.

Th's Young Men's Republican Club of the Twent inth District had a big rally a general good time at their headguarters at Riordan’s Hall at Third and Howard streets. Among the speakers who were present were Dr. Heina, Colonel Jones ‘and Thomas Grac bam. ' They addressed their audience on locai and State issues and pointed to the necessity of returning to Congress a solid Republican delegation. The meeting was wound up with ri hments and songs by Charlie Hurley and Emmett Callaghan, not forgetting three cheers and numerous tigers for Gage and the rest of the ticket, S alben Independents Will Rally.

The Mayor became enthusiastic in praising himself and in the course of his address injudiciously took up the popu- lar subject of the new paving of Market street. He and his advocates have taken great pains to impress upen the public that he was responsible for that plece of enterprise, but have done so in an evasive v. The dodging, deceptive method of dealing witn the people adopt- ed by Mr. Phelan is illustrated in the speech in question. Mr. Phelan, through the columns of his organ, said: Some of the newspapers of the city are attempting to mislead you and are making attacks upon us for what we have done. In a morning pa- per of the Republican persuasion there | appears a belittling attack upon our street work, the work that we have | done on Market street, which has con- verted that street into a beautiful thoroughfare, which attracts our vis- itors and keeps our people here. Mr. Phelan then proceeded to throw more bouquets at himself about what he has accomplished In the repaving of the city's greatest thoroughfare, but the of- ficial records show that the Mayor de- liberately avoided the responsibility of signing the order for this important re- aving work, and that he did not attach Pis Stgnature fo it. . The resolution be- came a law by default, and the fact was attested by the clerk of the Board of Su- pervisors in the officlal publication on April 5. The accompanying extract from the resolutions shows how brazenly Mr. Phelan has deceived the public in this matter, and how deeply he'was interested in the repaving of Market street. President Maso of Cuba writes about the future of that island in next Sunday’s Call by way of starting the old, old raflroad hobby-horse a-rocking, but the only ones who heard him were the other orators. The band played “Dixie,”” a young lady sang “The Star Spangled Banner,” and then W. H. Alford, after informing the audience that the speclal train bearing James G. Maguire from the north was four hours late, delivered his stereotyped campalgn speech. He was followeu by William Craig and J. J. Dwyer, whose speeches were delivered in Installments, owing to repeated interruptions by a band in the rear of the pavilion. Senator White recelved a hearty recep- tion and, like Dwyer, was unable to com- plete his address, because of the entrance of Mayor Phelan. The Mayor recefved the greatest demonstration of the even- ing. He spoke for fifteen or twenty min- utes on municipal issues, dilating upon the urgent necessity of electing a Demo- cratic Legislature to ratify the new char- ter. James H. Barry followed the Mayor and delivered his customary tirade upon C. P. Huntington and the Southern Pa- cific, and assalling Justices Van Fleet and McFarland in his usual intemperate manner. He advised rallroad employes to make hypocrites of themselves by wearing Republican buttons and then on election day vote the Democratic ticket. W. H. Hinton and J. P. Dunn were in- troduced, and then Governor Budd spoke for a few minutes. Several others also spoke. Judge Maguire reached the Payilion at 11:40, and made a short speech, after which the meeting adjourned. This Week’s News Letter is full of spicy campaign matter.

His first theatrical venture in this city was at the California Theater under the management of Al Hayman. ‘When he severed his connection with Hayman, Friedlander, in conjunction with Jacob Gottlob, leased the Co- lumbia Theater, which, by his busi- ness enterprise and artistic apprecia- tion, has become one of the most suc- cessful houses in the country.

The Wells-Fargo Company Carries Its Trouble to the Federal Courts. That the Wells-Fargo Company does not intend to pay its sharevof the revenue tax until forced to do so has been evi- denced again by its latest move. A short time ago it was sued for having refused to accept for transmission a package upon which the man proffering it had de- clined to place the revenue stamp. His excuse for declining was that the law delegated this duty to the corporation. However, the corporation was obdurate, was sued in the Justice Court, defeated there, took its case to the Superior Court and was once more defeated. Knowing that a similar fate must-await it in any similar suit before the same tribunal it seeks anotner. There are two actions pending against the company now on the ground the ini- tial one rested upon so securely. The company would not abide by the revenue law. The actions were brought in the Superior Court, each demanding damages in the sum of $50. The corporation coun- sel has raised the point that the tribunal properly having jurisdiction is the United States Cirguit Court, and thither the suits have been sent, Justice of the Peace Cook signing the necessary order. The ‘Wells-Fargo Company being organized under the laws of Colorado, contention is set up that the action is really brought by residents of one State against residents of another State. ~'While the step on the part of the com- enerally taken to be an effort 10 secure further "delay, the attorneys for Messrs. Johnson and Burnham, respec- tively the plaintiffs, intend to push it as rapidly as may be and are confident in their expression of belief that the view to be takew of the statute will be in con- sonance 4¥ith the view of the Superior Court afready of record. ————————— Becker-Creegan Trial. The Becker-Creegan case will be con- cluded on the 10th inst. The prosecution closed its case Thursday evening, and vesterday the defense occupied the day reading from the transcript of testimony of the former trial, the object being to impeach the testimony of certain wit- nesses given during the trial now in progress. At the conclusion of the day's session the defense announced that the case was closed and Judge Wallace set the 10th as the date for argument. Each side will be limited to two hours for the resentation of its case and it will then e submitted to the jury. —_————— Tuesday’s Election.
