Next January it must choose a Sen- | ator of the United States from California to ;‘scrvc for six years. | In making this choice great care and discrimination must be used. The Democratic Senator, to whom a | successor must be elected, has taken ffont rank | among the members of that body, and has com- | manded the respect of his political opponents and the attention of the country. The Republican party must not send a man there who by contrast will | merely serve as a foil to him and his record for po- | tency and ability, and so demote the State rather than | promote it. A man should follow him who will stand in an equal attitude of strength as a representa- tive of the Republican faith of California and the as- | pirations of a majority of her people. We take occa- | ston to say now, early in the contest, that this State | must not run aiter a name, must not run away from | substance to grasp a shadow. | There is a fairly well organized movement here to gratify family pride and make a play in the line of gratitude and patriotism by electing to the Senate | Mr. U. S. Grant Jr. of San Diego. We speak of Mr. Grant with great personal respect, and no stress of circumstances can compel us to do him any injustice. But we protest against his candidacy and his elec- ! tion to the Senate from California under the illumina- , tion of the great name of his father. In this republic men stand for what they are, not ! for what their fathets were. This rule cannot be con- spicuously violated without reversing our wholesome republican idea, which in its essence is at war with the whole theory of hereditary honor and position. | General Grant, lapsing into obscurity *after his resignation from the army, emerged from that obscur- ity humbly, took a subordinate place as an officer of ‘,IIIinois volunteers, and thence by sheer force of | genius, made vital by circumstance and opportunity, | | fought his way to command of the Union armies and | te a series of victories that put him among the world's great captains, with Alexander, Caesar, Marlborough, | Frederick the Great,and Napoleon. He took nothing from his ancestors except the latent genius that made him the man of the hour and the military primate of the age in which he lived. It sheds no luster on his fame and in no wise adorns his name for California to shut her eyes to the lack of experience, the unproved qualifications, the brief ! and uneventful citizenship of his son, and pitch him in among the giants of the Federal Senate, where his sole title to respect and distinction will be that he bears his father's name! A son of General Grant, or a descendant, may add to the fame of the victor of Vicksburg and Appo- mattox in one way only, by fighting his way to the front in politics, arms or a learned profession, and proving that ability to do so and to win is in the fam- ily blood. We indulge in no disparagement when we declare that the gentleman whose claims we discuss has not ! heretofore shown any sign of the original quality, the | nitiative, which would make people forget me and rally around him fori himself. s father’s imperish- able memory, nor in any way advance California, nor € benefit him, to waste upon him an honor that belongs to original qualities, training, fitness and presence among men, rather than to merely inherited honors and a name on which he has not conferred the slightest distinction. | We say these things in all possible kindness, but | with great firmness and fixity of purpose, to stand against the un-American theory of hereditary obli- gations in the selection of men for the foremost places | in this republic. power of ert CONGRESSMAN KAHN. i HE people of the Fourth Congressional Dis- | l rict are to be congratulated upon the election ! of Julius Kahn.

Mr. Kahn, we have no hesitation in saying, will make a first-class Congressman, and for this reason there is no ground for believing that the Fourth Dijs- | trict will not become permanently Republic:a Judge Morrow carried it three times in successit/n, | which shows that a Republican with friends and char- acter has nothing to fear from partisanship in the dis- | trict. Mr. Kahn is a high-minded, patriotic, respect- | able man, of good impulses and excellent principles. | He is a fair speaker, and with experience will become | a strong debater. He possesses all the points of a | fine Representative, and in Congress, if kept in long enough, he cannot fail to achieve distinction and con- fer credit upon his constituents, In the Legislature, where Kahu served a short time, he demonstrated the possession of integrity of a high order, which makes it certain that he will never be fcund transacting any business that is discreditable | either to himself or to his people. As a Congressman | he is bound to fank high, for his ability, force, genial nature, patriotism, interest in affairs and unswerving honesty are certain to bring him to the front. Unless we are mistaken the people of the Fourth District have drawn a prize in the election lottery. This is especially true when we consider that Kahn has defeated Barry and will succeed Judge Maguire. Tlo the list of votes of want of confidence passed upon it by the people of California. It took charge of Maguire's campaign, groomed, bianketed, bitted and rode him to a stumble on the backstretch. Relying on the power of vituperation and the strength of prejudice, with confidence in the utikity of falsehood, it exhausted i#% local talent in those re- spects, and when its staff fell breathless with not another | Inc in their throats, it imported talent in space-writing | and vindictive caricature from its laboratory’ of de- | traction in New York and announced with trumpets | and cymbals that it was prepared to do up the Repub- licans of California for a breakfast spell. Immediately its columns irrupted with a smallpox of abuse, pustular and revolting. What could not be szid by language was uttered by cartoon. Every pas- sion was appealed to in turn. Envy, revenge, greed and grudge among men were treated as the master motives that were to control the politics of Califor- nia. Honorable citizens were daily held up to public centempt and execration. The bench was libeled. To good actions was insinuated a bad motive. Like Jeshurun, the fatted ox, forgetting the crib at which it had fed, the railroad was assailed and slimed over HE Examiner has succeeded in adding another | with abuse, and then all men who opposed Maguire were stuck in it, like flies in flypaper. If such a Re- publican speech were made highly calling the people to heed great principles, it was the business of the Examiner imported talent to prove that it was written i the railroad office. If a Democrat voiced his dis- gust at the debauchery of his party, he was pictured by that sheet as a lackey of Huntington. No one was permitted to have an opinion adverse to it without getting a shower of filth on his reputation and all the tarnish that imported desperadoes could put upon his name. But to what little purpose were these base tac- tics followed? The people held their noses, read it, pondered it, went to the polls and beat it, wiped it out, burned it in the quicklime of rebuke as a pesti- lent breeder of diseased public opinion, and went their way with the satisfaction which waits upon duty well done. G dubious methods is honorable defeat. Mayor Phelan has been re-elected to the high office he has held for a term, and Charles L. Pat- | ton, aftef a gallant campaign, open, above the sus- picion of trickery, untinged by the color of corrupt- ing gold, has lost by a narrow margin. Patton’s can- vass was in all respects a remarkable one. He brought into it an unsullied reputation, and he went out of it with his reputation maintained, his methods unques- tioned and his strength among the people established. During his two years in office Mayor Phelan has turned the departments under his contro! into a political machine. Of this machine he is sole director. He selected the personnel of the convention which nominated him. He named those who should be on | the ticket with him. He accepted two nominations in advance of the promulgation of the platforms. | That money was freely used in his behalf is generally | believed, and it is openly charged that for Phelan’s saw them in ‘danger, Maguire | was traded and slaughtered in the house of his | friends. A knowledge of these facts detracts some- | what from the glory of achievement. To Patton there is due from his party and the citi- | zens generally a debt of gratitude. A successful law- { yer and business man, he had never been in politics. | His ambitions were not in the direction of office. The | opportunity was thrust upon him, and he undertook | what seemed like a hopeless task. He undertook it | only from a sense of duty. He knew that Phelan was intrenched, that the Phelan hosts had been mar- | shaled, the plan of campaign marked out to the small- est detail, the spoils apportioned in advance. An or- ‘dinary candidate, in opposition to such an array of | fortified henchmen, would have made a fight so futile |as to be ridiculous. A strong man was needed, and ; Fatton proved himself to be the man. He had not | been in the field twenty-four hours before the Mayor knew a foe worthy of the administration’s steel had arisen. He had not been there a week before the! | Phelan followers were in an agony of fear, and to the end they worked as for a desperate cause and a feeble | chance. By the exercise of the utmost activity, and a resort | to every trick familiar to the trained manipulator, they | managed to continue Phelan in office. But they have | not besmirched Patton, because they could not. He | emerges unscathed from a bitter contest, his worth as | 2 man made known, his loyalty as a Republican writ- | | ten large, and his individuality so impressed upon the | community and the State that it will not be forgotten. | The future holds for Patton greater rewards than he | came so close to attaining. He will be needed in affairs of state, and since he devoted his time and his | energy to carrying the flag of his party to the in- | trenchments of the enemy, he will be gratefully re- membered. It is but the logic of events that he shall be called to a larger leadership. He has lost nothing, when there is considered the vital character of that which he has gained. With the complacency of a philosopher he accepts the verdict. He did much | toward educating the voters. Many were won over. | The spirit of reform which he represented could not in one short campaign be crystallized. We have no feeling of animosity toward Mayor | Phelan. On the contrary, we wish him well and hope | the conduct of his office will be marked by an ab- | sence of the features which have heretofore brought upon it a measure of discredit. We trust the Mayor will learn that he cannot always continue to be the Dem- tocracy, and that such Democracy as he may constitute himself cannot always continue to rule. This time he was too cunning, his schemes too deep-laid, his minions too carefully instructed, to be overthrown. He had a narrow escape from defeat, and for him such experience would have been fraught with dis- grace, for it would have been a distinct rebuke. In- deed, the result which keeps him in power is far from | flattering, for ‘had he been a faithful servant the tide ir his favor would have been overwhelming against any candidate who could have been named, and any stich candidate only a sacrifice on the party altar. We congratulate Mr. Patton. Against great odds he fought a good fight. In a subdued way, we con- gratulate the Mayor. He has been given opportunity to redeem himself, and to profit by contemplation of the errors marring his first term. He is a person of brains and education, fully competent, if he will, to reach a plane above that of the mere office-seeker, and to doff the cloak of demagogy in which he appears to be enwrapped. THE PASSING OF BARRY. T is by no means among the minor satisfactions of l the election that “Maguire’s logical successor in Congress,” Barry, was defeated.

He has incited civil disorder, assaulted the courts, attacked maliciously everything and every- body, for the purpose of impressing a small and vicious circle with his heroism. If no one paid any attention to his vicious vagaries he took it for fear of his power. At last this canine creature, having ap- parently terrified all those who lived within hearing of his kennel, was tempted by ambition to venture | upon a wider field. The people got a chance to ex- press their opinion of him, and he has scurried back to cover,with a tin kettle rattling behind him and the steam of scalding water rising in his tracks. Beaten by thousands, he will hereafter do his yelping and disturb the peace in his former little place, and no one will pay him the compliment of even shying a stone at him. San Francisco should be proud that she had the patience to attend to such a small detail as the fellow’s candidacy for Congress, and to beat him soundly and forever. 7 Somebody has started a report that the United States will swap the Philippines for Canada.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Nov. 9. Alameda County will not part with the State Republican banner this year. While her majority will not be so great as it it is larger than that of any other county in the State. Never was a Republican victory so gratifying to the respectable element of Alameda County as that which has land- ed Henry T. Gage in the Governor’s chair. It is a flat repudiation and denial ofall the falsehoods, epithets, insinuations and in- sults that have been hurled at the voters of this county by the fusionists for the past three months. It is a vindication of the party integrity that prevailed at the State and county Republican conventions. 1t is a slap in the face to those ill-ad- vised calamity howlers v;;ho have been rever crying ‘“‘slate,” “boss” or any {I‘ihkl" leng wshich could relieve their etta Edith Crane. | A fashionable assemblage gathered at | Trinity Episcopal Church last evening to witness the nuptials of Miss Henrietta | Edith Crane, daughter of Mrs. Byron G. | Crane, and John Perrit Wallace of the | California Powder Company.

A case of smallpox was discovered at 901 Sacramento street, last Monday after. noon, by the Health authorities. The suf. ferer was a negro named Samson Coll- wood, who arrived from Honolulu on the Mariposa on October 19. On Tuesday he was removed to the Marine Hospital. All of the clothing, bedding and draperies in the room that he had occupied was taken out into the street by Deputies Benjamin and Crowe and burned. The room was then sealed to await the action of th Health Board. There are eleven rooms in the house and there were twelve adults and one child in the place.

T s “Gounty - especially - Republican success is a vindication of the honor and manhood of the thousands who derive their living from the railroad company. The lie that these citizens, among the very best in the county, can be herded at election times and made to vote as their s dictate is exploded by the very used by the fusionists. In their final howl they declared that all the cor- porations hud issued orders to defeat the | republican nominee for Assessor, Henry P. Dalton. Now that the votes are in this falsehood s best repudiated by the| tigures, which show that Mr. Dalton has | polied the largest majority of any candi- | date on the county ticket. | In this county the issues were hatred, | malice, satire, indecency, hypocrisy and egotism on one side; decency, logic, hon- esty, fearlessness and candor on_ the nd the latter won. From West Oakiand, where lives an army of railroad employes, to the Tesla coal mines, where hundreds of black-handed | but white-hearted miners tunnel in the| the earth, the principles of | voted in_accordance with their best interests.

In the next Congress this dis irict will be represented by a Republican "The county government Trests with Republicans. 1t is true there has been a | break in the county ticket, which is en- | tirely due to an error made at the San Leandro Convention, and which was stated at_the time in The Call as being | likely to defeat one or two candidates. 1t has defeated two. The nominations for Recorder and Superintendent.of Schools ere both given to Berkeley candidates, rom Washington Township came one of the most upright Republicans in the county, Henry Lynch. His solid dele- gation asked that he 'be put upon the icket for Superintendent of Schools. This request, reasonable as it was, was not granted, owing to the fact that the larger Berkeley delegation had made a deal with other candidates. Mr. Lynch was left off, | and both of the Berkeley candidates, Mr. Spear for Recorder and Mr. Waterman for School Superintendent, have been de- teated. Mr. Grim, the next Recorder, is a Republican, but made an independent ampaign when he saw that he could not | get the nomination from the convention. eing a resident of Berkeley, his attitude helped largely to defeat the two candi- dates of the college town. It is also gratifying to note that the Re- publican party in Alameda County can come together Sl)lldl*, even after a bitter factional struggle. This is evident by the remarkable majority given to Victor H. Metcalf for Congress. The bitterest fac- tional struggle this county has ever seen was that between Metcalf and Hilborn for the nomination for Congress. After the primary, however, unanimity again en- tered the party ranks and Mr. Metcalf yesterday ran probably 3000 votes ahead of his ticket. The vote of this county also repudiates the falsehoods of the fusionists regarding the alleged stuffing of the great register, said Emu register being the work of a Republican County Clerk. It was stated by the organ of the fusionists day after day that there were nearly ten thousand stuffers of the great register. Any or- dinary person knew that these ten thou- sand names were all duplicated, being merely transfers, cancellations or new registrations compiled in a special supple- ment, as the Board of Supervisors did not feel justified in ordering an entire new register, as Clerk Jordan compiled such a perfect one but two years ago. The refu- tation of this camgfllgn calumny is the county’'s vote, which is exactly the same as four years ago, namely, 20,000, This morning the organ of the fusionists claimed that the fact that the 10,000 im- aginary stuffers did not vote was entirely due to the vigilance of Chairman Tarpey of the County Union Committee. It was due to the fact that these 10,000 names had no existence and that the Republican Board of Supervisors appointed such rep- utable boards of election officers that no evil-minded person could violate the in- tegrity of the ballot. Assumption of vir- tue, however, is the least of the vices practiced by the fusionists in this cam- Pai‘Fm ¢ ereafter, it is evident, the people of Alameda County will pay less attention than they have in the past to the reports of grand juries when it is more than Sus- pected that such reports are impregnated with the flavor of go]lllcs. The last Grand Jury report, which was supposed to rep- resent, the costly result of ten months’ labor, complimented Superyisor Church in one place and then devoted large sections toward heaping obloquy and humiliation on him and Supervisor Talcott. This re- port was taken up by the fusionists and made the subject of foundationless and bitter attacks on the Republican Super- visors who were candidates for re-e.ec- tion. These attacks have been repudiated in the most decisive manner by intelligent voters at the polls. The height of absurd- ity and faisity was reached when honest John Talcott was made to appear as a dis- honest political manipulator, false to his trust and unfit to hold office. Day after day he was held up as a man to be avoid- ed and as one to be kept as far away from the county treasury as possible. ‘e now enjoys the satisfaction of knowing that he’ has been re-elected by a handsome ma- jority over his oponent. Supervisor Church was also subjected to far more bitter denunciation than .r. Talcott. This opposition apparently helped to re-elect him, and Messrs. Church and Talcott will hold their seats for another four years.

The deceased had been addicted to the use of morphine, and for that reason his wife was granted a divorce about a year ago. He had been sick for a few days before his death, and his ex-wife cailed to see him yesterday with some delicacies for him. She received no reply to her knock, and she summoned the landlady, who ordered the door forced open. A blood side of the dead man. The deceased was an_attendant in a bathing establishment.

COMFORT IN THE ELECTIONS REGARDS THE RESULT AS A RE- BUKE TO McKINLEY. France and Austria Show a Decided Tendency to Intervene, but ‘Want Other Powers to Aid. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Nov. 9.—The Washing- ton correspondent of the Herald t graphs: As the result of yesterda s elections it is the expectation of high that officials of the administration Spain will struggle more deterr against compliance with the Ame an demands for the cession of the Philip- pines. Yurther than this it is believed the losses sustained by the Republican party will have the effect of strensth- ening Spain’s appeals to other uro- pean powers to intervenme, and her chances of success in doing so now are considered a great deal better than they were before the country gave its verdict at the polls. The administration fears were shown by the discussion at the Cabi- net meeting to-day that Europe will regard the elections as indicating that many Americans are oppc to the extension of American ter and France, Germany and Ru encouraged to make a representation of some character to the Government. I am able to state authoritatively, however, that whether Europe thinks the elections have gone against the ad- ministration, it is the set purpose of President McKinley to continue to press his demand for the cession of the Philippine Islands to the United States, and he will not be frightened into withdrawing his demands by any representation that combined Europe might make. The authorities do not forget that the Senate is Republics and it is hoped It will furnish sufiicient votes, with the aid of certain De rats and Silverites, to provide the necessary two-thirds majority to ratify the treaty of peace which will be sent to that body as soon as possible after it convenes. Furthermore, it was pointed out to me this afternoon that for three months at least the House will continue under Republican domination, and during hat period every effort will be made by the administration to conclude all nego- tiations growing out of the war in or- der that it may have a clean bill when adjournment occurs. The administra- tion is extremely suspicious of the atti- tude of Continental Europe, and has reason to believe that there has been an exchange of views for the purpose of determining whether to make represen- tations, and what their character should be. France's action in filing claims for her citizens for moneys due them on account of Spanish bonds floated ostensibly for Cuba, is regarded as an indirect method of notifying the administration of France's great concern in the nego- tiations, and of her intention to hold the United States respousible for the debt on the ground that it always fol- lows sovereignty. But France will make a great mistake if she thinks the President and Secretary Hay propose to pay any attention to her ciaims. The State Department has notified the French Embassy that the claims have been received and filed, and will stay filed. The United States has not taken Cuba, and has no intention of so doing, and therefore cannot be held responsi- ble for the Spanish debt. It is understood here that France and Austria will willingly intervene pro- vided Russia and Germany will com- bine with them to this end, but no ap- prehension is felt that Great Britain will join them. It is believed the Brit- ish Government would support the United States against the combined European powers.
