Ma- guire, and that individual's ready acquiescence to the claim, arebear- ing fruit of ashes. Supporters of Judge Maguire, men who have given their time, -energy and money to his cause, resent the all too apparent fact that Judge Maguire is the Examiner’s candidate for Governor, and not the candidate of ‘his party. The Sacramento Bee, which throughout the present campaign has been one of Maguire’'s stanchest supporters, is the latest journal to rebel against the Examiner’s proprietary claim to Judge Maguire. In its issue of Friday, November 4, it gives utterance to its wrath in these words: . It mag just as well be reit- erated again that the methods of the San Francisco Examiner in this campaign have done great damage to the cause of James G. Maguire, damage which has not been repaired ‘by running him through this section of the State on an Examiner train as the Ex- aminer candidate for Governor. 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000 000000000 C000CO00O00CC000V0VO000000000OC00C000000000000000000000 GOO o0 rarely wealthy and almost never a millionaire, | tafled, the lack of profit under existing con- I to land owners and land users up to the time | when the governmental structure would fall | under the weight of the unjust system Iim- | posed.

He Boldly Defied the Law and Got Nearly $5000 for the rick. A Shameful Ex- pose. Tax Collector James. N. Block and his supporters will find fifteen minutes of very disagreeable reading in the facts set forth in the report compiled by Expert J. C. Saulman for the Judiciary Committee of the Board of Supervisors, filed’ Novem- ber 4. Mr. Block was charged with improperly obtaining money from the city and county in the compilation of the military roll. The sum secured by the frugal Collector aggregated for the past two years $4629 40. It is the duty of the Tax Collector of this city to cause to be made a house-to-house canvass for the purpose of compiling an accurate census of those subject to mili- tary duty. To indemnify him for the cost of this labor the statute allows 5 cents per name. Careful Investigation shows that Mr. Block pald no attention to his official obli- gations and that he compiled a report that is practically worthless. However, the gentleman was not looking for quality but quantity of subjects, and he was also glueing his grip to the $2300 per year. He found a simple way to grind out the names by the thousand at 5 cents a name and at the same time to hoodwink the of- ficials whose duty it is to pass on his de- mands for the people’s money. "The artful Collector discovered that there are such things as precinct registers of voters and that he had clerks who could use the city’s time to copy names therefrom. The result for the years 1897-98 is a roster of “military” subjects the equal of which could not be found on this rolling sphere. The list furnished evidences of the fact that the names were copied off without any reference to qualifications, The lame, the halt, the blind, the aged, those exempt by reason of official positions, the miser- able wrecks at the Almshouse and, last of all, those who have paid their last taxes to Mr. Block and gone over to the great il T GAGE & NEFF GoverNnOR- of small land holdings, and rich within her- | self. ~ Notwithstanding prior foreign wars, | revolutions and internal difficulties, at the { ¢ bureau and | PR R R R R R AR AR AR AR AR R R R R ZF»‘SZS&!2&32823882%338383&‘3‘3838282&2'28‘3823-‘5‘-‘8.‘!8&888.‘83‘33:&%838}& majority—all were carefully entered on the list at b cents per entry. Mr. Block also found space for the names of’a squad of Chinese warriors, who will: doubtless be of great value to Uncle Sam in the event of an early war. People who ..ave left the State and are 'sub]pect to military duty in other com- monwealths have also been carefully enumerated. One of the special requirements of the law is that the names of all male per- sons between the ages of 18 and 21 years shall be returned. The falsity, the worth- lessness of the source of the Collector’s roster are shown in the report of the ex- pert by reason of the absence of names of men of those ages. In other words, the precinct registers were good enough for Mr. Block. In fact they were “real good things.” They were completed by - fiflliiiii;! b | Sge s & A Hl piled in express deflance of the explicit requirements of the statute. As an illustration of the value of Mr. Blocks list, in nine embly districts there are the names of 8136 men who are found not to be residents of the addresses ven. mll would be an act of wisdom for Mr. Block to return this wrongfully obtained $4629 40, or explain satisfactorily his new method of getting his hands public_pocket and at the same time hold- ing office. ERROR IN SAMPLE BALLOT. To the Voters of San Francisco: Your attention is hereby called to the fact that on the sample ballot mailed an error was committed by the failure to insert after the name of FINLAY COOK, candidate for Police Judge, the words “Citizens’ Non-Partisan” in ad- dition to the words ‘People’s Party- Democrat”; also after the name of P. the city In 1896, and for copying them last year Mr. Blockdpocketfid $2311 15. The city could not supply him with | newly corrected precinct registers for | 1848, but this little matter did not bother | the resourceful official, nor did he ob- serve the behests of the law.

L R NN ARG NN NN NN RRRRS N8N “WHITE ASSENTED TO NO INFAMY” ol. John P. Irish Compares the Senator With James (. Maguire. In his speech at Metropolitan Temple last Friday night Col John P. Irish paid this high tribute to Senator Stephen M. White When this amendment to adjust and settle the Central Pacific debt and recover for the Government all the principal and interest of its claim was before the Senate it was general legislation as a rider to an appropriation bill. Under the rule it made the bill subject to objection. That point of order was raised by Senator Hale of Maine, and was withdrawn upon the assurance of Senator White that there would be no objection to the amendment, and it passed by the unan- imous vote of the Senate. No man can make me believe that Senator White assented to an infamy. None can make California believe that Senator White there- by compromised the interests of the Government or compounded a Just claim. I speak cf Senator White as his affectionate friend. He is a man of high talents, highly trained. But he stands in a group apart, for he has something more than talents. In him is the in- effable quality of genius which is the gift of but few; that quality born in men that needs no training—which grasps principles by in- stict and sees the equity of things as the physical senscs of other men see the passing panorama of the physical world about them. Between him and me have come differences, serious in their nature, respecting the financial policy of the Government, and if I have had a doubt about the correctness of my position it has generated in the high respect I have for him. When these differences have passed by the final adjustment of that policy, I have hoped that we will again stand side by side in accord as to those principles we received in our youth and for which we did battle together in our manhood. onel BRENVERLKLANNNNRLANILRLEUELLELIRLEIBRRRRLRLLRRRINNRLRLRS 8289§393983828€8395983823888833389!888893288888989!339828982598889 R ADVICE T0 A WIFE!
