THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1898, WHY GAGE, AND NOT MAGUIRE, SHOULD BE ELECTED GOVERNOR. JAMES G. MAGUIRE WILL BE DEFEATED FOR GOVERNOR OF CALIFORIA, Because— He is a fanatic. He believes that a land owner is a monopolist and a robber, and declares that he must be deprived of all vested rights, titles and ownership in his home and land with- out compensation. He beljeves that American industry should not be protected, that American labor should be denied freedom of contract, and that its wages should not be paid in the best money in the world. He believes that $§861,000,000 of property in land values and loans se- cured in real estate in California should be destroyed. this will be a hardship on land owners, it will be just, for the land owner is a trespasser on what belongs to society and should be expelied. He believes that coal, iron, gold, silver, copper and quicksilver should be given to the community, and don’t belong to the mine owner and miner. He believes that anarchists and nihilists are patriotic and worthy and should not be excluded from this country, though their oificial platform is: ‘‘Down with all govern- Everything is everybody’s.”’ He has bolted in and out of all parties, has lived in office since he was 19 and has drawn from the taxpayers salaries equal to $4 50 per day for every day since he was born. His sole return to the taxpayers who have supported him has been the threat to confiscate land and abuse of its owners. His claim for votes is that he opposed the law to settle the debts of the Central home he h ] + w -~ L 75 L] + L] + L State. E+E+E+E He is not a fanatic. He believes in law, order and the equality of rights, which make this nation great. He believes in his party, his country and his countrymen, and will be Governor for the whole people, knowing no rich nor poor, but justly executing the law for all. He believes in the vested right and title of every man to the land and He believes as earned and owns. in HENRY T. GAGE WILL BE ELECTED GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA, Because— He believes in California, in the protection of the fruits of her vine- yards, orchards and fields ; in the unity of her territory, the goodness of her people and the greatness of her destiny. the laborer’s right to freedom of contract, to the highest wages, paid in the best money in the world. He believes that when the honest miner has dug coal, iron, gold, silver, copper and quicksilver from his own mine that it belongs to him and not to the community. He believes that anarchy is not love of liberty, but iust of license and of murder, and that anarchists have no right of asylum in this republic. The people of California believe these things with Henry T. Gage. They want progress and prosperity instead of experiment and unrest, and they will elect him Gov- ernor to secure that sound sense in the administration which means stabi W+E+E+ ment. ty in the 1+ +8+ VICTORY ASSURED IN THE GOLDEN STATE FIGURES SHOW GAGE CERTAIN OF ELECTION Will Win by a Large Majority. BETWEEN TEN AND FIFTEEN THOUSAND. CAREFUL ESTIMATES OF THE VOTE BY COUNTIES. Republican Committee Chairmen In- dicate Clearly That the Popu- lar Standard-Bearer Is the Choice. The Call several days ago wired the | respective county com- put’ican and Demo- atic—throughout the State asking for e estimates as to the prob- »r Governor of California on | mated probable majorities given by the men of the Republican commit- 1ocrats, although in a v cases expressing their con- | fi Maguire will be elected. would not venture estimates in suffi- cient numbers to permit of a table be- ing prepared. As is shown by the table, Mr. Gage will doubtl come to San Francisco with a majority of not less than 14,000 votes. A great manv Republican lead- ers express their belief that Mr. Gage will carry this city and county and those who are not so sanguine do not concede more than 2500 majority to Mr. Maguire. It would appear that there is no good reason to doubt that Mr. Gage will be elected by a majority be- tween 10,000 and 15,000 votes. Here are the figures: - COUNTIES, < coxmBURN Alameda Alpine .

In a discourse last evening on ‘The Christian Missien of Our Country” Rev. William Rader of the Third Congrega- tional Church, took his text from . the third chapter of Revelation of “St. John, eighth verse: “Behold I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it.” “The question that now confronts us, as a people and a church,” he said, ‘be- comes a gospel theme, as important as any biblical theme. of b¢ in its origin | came here for a p from certain pers: | Worla: nd have b ce.

John A. B. Wilson’s Sermon at | the Howard-Street M. E. Church. At the Howard-street M. E. Church last evening Rev. John A. B. Wilson took for | his theme “The Life of Joseph.” | “It is bad when we get depending on | each other,” he said. “Better have faith in God—have him our priniary object of dependence. I would say to you young | men, you cannot always choose your com- panionship, but you have always got to live with yourself. See that you have the kind of company that your soul can afford | to keep forever. There is no cultivation | that has been found or ever will be found | to make a rosebush out of a fern; the | more you cuitivate it the more fern you have. The outcome is going to be accord- ing to your sowing. If you SOw unwor- thily—of the flesh—vou are going to reap corruption. There is a consequence to every act, which we cannot escape.

The Tennesseean Defiies That Miss Nellie Fetter Forced Him Into a Distasteful Marriaze. Sergeant Jessup Tendy of the First Ten- nessees, whose sensational arrest upon a warrant sworn out by his inamorita, Miss Nellie Fetter, was announced in yesterday's Call, was seen yesterday just before his transport pulled out from the dock for Manila, and he denled emphatic- ally the report tnat Miss Fetter sought to force him into a marriage that was against his inclination. “\we were married yesterday after- noon,” said _Sergeant ‘Tendy, “‘and b; Judge Joachimsen.

With an oath he started after the citizen, who ran along Howard street, pursued by the in- furiated husband. Policeman Meyer, see. ing Thompson chasing his prospective vic- tim, seized him and after a short strug- gle disarmed him. He was then taken to the City Prison and booked on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. —— e THE DEAD REMEMBERED. | Solemn Service at the Cathedral in Commemoration of All Souls’ Day. All Souls' day was solemnly commem- orated yesterday afternoon by the mem- bers of the Calvarian Society. The serv- ice consisted of the rceital of the Litany, the 1y of the Cross” and a sermon by Rev ther Ramm. who took as his subject “The After Life.” In addition to the several hundred mem- bers of the society present the church was crowded with people from all sec- tions of the city. ————————— Noted Pickpocket Arrested. The police believe that yesterday Harry Elmore furnished them with evidence suf- ficient to hold him in the meshes of the law and to insure him a trip to San Quen- tin. Elmore is a noted pickpocket and has often been arrested, but in each in-/ stance has been released for want of suf- ficient evidence. Yesterday afternoon, while riding on a_Guerrero street car, Mrs. Malcolm, residing at 205 Turk street, saw Elmore take a purse from the pocket of her sister, Mrs. Johnson. She raised a cry and the thief jumped from the car, hut was captured later by Officer J. W. Stanley. Upon being searched the $9 con- tained in tge purse was found upon his person, and the gurse. which he had dis- carded in his flight, was picked up behind a fence. —_————— Y. M. C. A. Bulletins. The special wire of the Western Unlon Telegraph Company running into the aud- itorfum of the Young Men's Christian As- sociation, corner of Mason and Ellis streets, is putting the complimentary tickets of admission in great demand. While the special operator is capturin the news, a dellghtful programme of music and elocution will fill the interim. The Knickerbocker Quartet,the Columbian Orchestra, Miss Frances Luse, elocution- ist, and Brownlee Newton, the popular reader and impersonator, will be some of the attractions Heinrichs at the Orpheum. To-morrow afternoon there will be a Heinrich recital at the Orpheum, the first special matinee ever given at this thea- ter. Max Heinrich, barytone; Mrs. Heln- rich, soprano, and Miss Julia Heinrich, contralto, are the best ballad singers ever heard in San Francisco, and as the prices are popular the house should be packed. Twenty-three numbers will be sung, and the selections will range from “Polly Willis,” by Dr. Arne, to the “Erl King," et On_ this cccasion no smoking will be allowe Home From Their Honeymoon. Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Fuller returned to this city last night from their honey- moon trip to the East.

Look out for the code. It will be published Tuesday morning. It has been found that the X-ray shines through a Iox terrier as If he were a Chinesee‘fuper lantern. The experiment was tried upon an animal of this species which had swallowed a diamond ring, the trinket appearing in his midst as visible as a fly in amber or a gold fish in a glass globe. All the dog family will do well to lay the lesson to heart and take care what they swallow. Y and Won the His Many Admirable Qualities Popularity, and the After an exclting campaign, the battle of the ballots will be waged to-morrow. During several weeks the contest has ta- vored the Republicans in a marked man- ner. The party has made steady gains, the leaders and candidates are confident of success and the Republican hosts will g0 to the polls in better condition than for many years. They are in full harm- ony, and will oppose an enemy that has been divided by the trickery and despot- ism of the plug hat boss who has usurped the rights of the party and boldly poses as the whole Democracy, heading a ticket that was not named by the Democrats of this city but by a clique of job-chasers who saw no other way to secure nomina- tions. As agalnst the campaign of deceit made by Mayor Phelan the voters of San Fran- cisco should consider the manner in which Charles L. Patton comes before the people and how he has conducted himself in this contest. He has made a clean, manly, energetic campaign, indulging in no per- snnnfillcs‘ resorting to no innuendoes, but lainly and honestly telling the public his deas as to how the city overnment should be conducted, standing for the dol- lar limit of taxation, for the charter and for strict business methods in the office Point to Him as Victor. THE MANLY CAMPAIGN OF CHARLES L. PATTON He Has Made a Clean, Honest, Open Fight: People’s Con- fidence. Have Gained Him Widespread Signs of the Times the of Mayor. If elected he will not pursue the tactics of shirking the responsibility of passing upon important public improve- ments and leaving it to the Board of Supervisors, as is_the practice of Mr. Phelan, who has shown that he has nei- ther the veto courage or the backbone to perform his duties as the chief executive of the municipality. Another feature of the campaign is the significant fact that in_all this heated contest there has_not been one ~word breathed against Mr. Patton’s integrity, his ability and energy, his private or public character. He stands before his elow citizens as capable, honest and up- right a man as could be found. That these matters are appreciated by the vo has been proved by the en- thusiastic reception of the man during the arduoys and admirable campaign he has made.. The further fact that he has not been Mayor of the city and made him- self a_czar, using his official power to rob his fellows of their rights under the consti- tution in order to stuff a ticket in his own interests has given him great strength among those citizens who believe in and demand from their public servants hon- esty and justice. Finally, a vote for Mr. Patton is a vote against a_combination of job-chasers who, if elected, will have the city at their mercy and be in a position to perpetuate themselves in office indefinitely. ON THE AMERICAN SOLDIER. “Personally 1 have always contended that even we, your cousins, greatly un- derestimated your fighting strength, and 1 never hesitated to state that opinion. When the war excitement that followed the Venezuelan trouble had so died out in London that arbitration began to be mentioned, and when a great meeting was held for that purpose in Queen's Hall there 1 drew some criticism upon myself by remarking that America was by far better equipped for a brief strug- gle than the maternal Government. Not only had a free mflitary system of cadet schools and volunteer militia given a great deal of necessary training, but the democratic principles of the land had more than doubled the individual value of army and navy. While I have noted in Russia and elsewhere that men who have absolutely no reason for loving thelr fatherland are still imbued strongly with that mysterious emotion known as patriotism, no doubt can exist that the soidier who is risking his life for things that he uriderstands and that appeal to him directly—the soldier who may be- come as high in position as the highest of his commanders—will fight as no other recruit can. And the results of the late war have proved the foundation of my belief. This has been & contest in which ersonal bravery and individual heroism aveydiscounted even the superb work of the army and navy as a whole. “England is not prepared for the emer- gencles so well as might seem to be the Bise with the casual observer. Only ex- perts can tell of the power of her navy and her armament, but that she lacks the impromptuity of the United States, de- spite her standing force, there can be no doubt. I believe in the unity of the two countries almost above everything else.” ‘Washington Post. —_————————— §[Remember that every vote for the Republican ticket is a vote for the administration, for sound money, protection and pros- perity. —_——————————— HINTS FOR THE HOME.

In a group of lawyers who were dili- gently smoking cigars, sat a mild-ap- pearing youth puffing a cigarette, says the Chicago Journal. . “Janitor, will you kindly open the window?"” called the reputed wit of the little company. “I think I smell a cig- arette.” The lawyers grinned appreciatively and the youth made a visible effort to appear oblivious. “A man was arrested the other day for blowing smoke in a HNorse’s face,” began the legal humorist, winking at his audience and speaking in a voice evidently intended for the cigarette smoker. “The Judge who heard the case said there was no law against such an act, and was about to throw the case out of court. S “ But,’ exclaimed the complainant, ‘it was cigarette smoke, your Honor,’ ‘Whereupon the court imposed a heavy fine.” The lawyers laughed and watched for the effect of this shot on the lonely cig- arette flend. The youth gradually recalled the gaze which had been fixed on the far distance, and, turning with an inter- ested and almost eager expression to the wag, inquired with a drawl: “Did the Judge make any rulings as to blowing smoke in an ass’s face?” And during the lull the humorist had time to think of an important engage- ment. —_————— MR. BUMEISTER’S COURTSHIP. At last Mr. Bumeister's patience was at an end. The Widow Flaherty’s geese had again broken through the fence that sepa- rated the two yards and had partaken of the cornmeal intended for his own flock without leave or license. “‘Ach, mein himmel!” cried Mr. Bumei- ster from his front door step. ‘“Dose voman’s haf de cheek got! Oho! Mein Frau” (as Mrs. Flaherty appeared on her own threshold), ‘‘vill you keep dese gooses hegm py yourself alreadty or must [ got a Doliceman vat vill?" Mrs. Flaherty looked at her neighbor with a humorous glint in her sharp eyes. “‘Och, whirra, be aisy, now! Sure I ain’t yer frau. Luk at th’ innercent craytures ye ha'ard ha’arted spalpeen.

His glance wandered down to the two quar- reling, gabbling flocks, and beyond them to the rosy face of the widow, and with incredible speed his steps followed the path blazed by his look until he leaned on the fence between the premises. ‘“You vas a pooty smart vomans, eh?” he said, “Ypu ton't got mo husban’s?

Es- peclally of their tgachers, and more es- pecially when they are just starting out in school. A little Cleveland girl of six summers came home the other day with her mind filled with that new wonder, the school- room. “How do you like your teacher?’ her mamma asked. ‘‘She's a verr nice teacher,” said the little one; “only it's such a pity sne doesn’t speak so many of her words right. I shouldn’t think they’d let her teach till she learned to say them so people cowd understand.” 4 “Why, what does she say that's wrong?"” “Well, yesterday she was going to say ‘Pass from the room quietly,” and what do ou think she did say? She said, ‘Pawss,’ ust like that. ‘Pawss from* the room quietly.’ T guess nobody didn’t understand her at first. And then, this morning we were talking about trees, and she said ‘brawnches'—yes, sir, just like that. She's a nice teacher, but you got to get used to her before you can understand her lan- guage. —_—e—————— WHAT THE BEAR DID. A few old sportsmen were relating their experiences to each other when an inter- loper drew up and interrupted them with a few stories of his hair-breadth escapes, much -to their disgust. ~Finally one chipped in and quietly told the following stor; “Three or four years ago I was hunting in the Rocky Mountains and happened to e on the top of a high precipice, and for the purpose of getting a better view of the valley, some 500 or 600 feet below, laid down my gun and crawled out upon a small rock overlooking the chasm, and strangely fell nslx}h “Presently 1 was awakehed by a noise on the bank, and saw a large bear within 2 few feet of me.

In his anxiety to possess himself of two gasburners an unknown thief vesterday morning nearly caused the death of Thomas Shields and his family. The Shields live at $44B Howard street. Some time after 4 o’clock yeterday morn- ing a thief visited the premises and wrenched off the gasburners. In his haste to get aw mably, he neglected to turn off the gas. Sometime afterward Shitlds was aroused by the smell of gas. Jumping out of bed he proceeded to make an investi- gatlon. After considerable trouble he discovered that the 8 rners in the hallway had been removed. Arousing his wife and children he told them of what had happened and ordered them to open t‘}_|e v:;lnduv:s while he continued his inves- igation.

Had I not detected the smell of the gscaping fluld it is more than probable that at least one of the family would now be in the Morgue,” The police are inclined to believe that the crime was committed by some opium flend, who, in order to satisfy his craving for the drug, determined to steal the burners and then sell them for a mere pit- tance. With the money he received for them, they argue, he wouid buy enough gpium to satisty ' his appetite. for the rug. LIGHT ON THE MEN WHO CONVICT- ED DREYFUS. France has had a little Parliamentary scandal, which throws light on the meth- ods of the men concerned In suppressing the truth in the Dreyfus matter. gfl Tur- rel, who was Minister of Public Works in the Meline Ministry, had for his opponent in the late elections a retired army offi- cer, whose complete military record, sup- posed to be kept in the secret archives of the War Office, was published in a Government pewspaper in the expecta- tilonethat it would hurt his chances. M. Turrel, before the Committee on Rlec- tions of the new House, solemnly de- clared “on the memory 'of his mother and_on his honor” that he had no part in the publication of his opponent’s rec- ord, whereupon a Deputy produced the manuseript of the article In Turrel's own handwriting.
