Dimond, the Republican super- | intendent. When the force at the| Mint was diminished and Geary had to be let out he was taken into Colonel Macdonald’s insurance office and g employment. Subse- quently Geary sought to sell to Mr. Turner, the manager of another in surance company, information ob. tained in Colonel Macdonald’s ofice.i When Geary was confronted with the facts of his treachery he confessed his guilt. i Will Phelan now confess? | The Call believes from all the facts obtainable in the case that delegates | in the convention were endeavoring | to present Mayor Phelan the true| history of Geary’s record when th impatiently waved them| e, uttering the remark: “Geary | be a scrub, but we must do poli- | tics and put him on the ticket.” | Colonel William Macdonald, the| manager of one of the insurance com- panies concerned, and George W. Turner, the ‘manager of the other, were positively informed that the protests were made to the Mayor the night Geary was nominated. | The Call knows that Phelan sent for one man to smooth over this transaction, and knows further that strenuous efforts are being made at| Democratic headquarters to hush the mouth of every delegate familiar with the facts.

That particular vicinity has ;ong‘ b4 @ lf‘h been regarded as the center of a Democratic stronghold. When James G. Magulre addressed the vo(orsb(rmvrv. b $ i last year they fairly ralsed the roof for him. Last night they raised it for Horace Davis and the Republithi ¢ & party. The particular reason, as volced by one of the speakers, was that James G. Maguire this year was not lift- : ¢ ing his volce for the Democracy advocated by the opponents of Mr. Davis and the other Republican candidates. Y + Where is James G. Maguire in this campaign? Where is Willlam Broderick and Harry Creswell and o(hersrwho 5 > pleaded the cause of the Democrats last year?’ were the questions asked. “Are they advocating the clection of the 4 Phelan ticket?” and the answer came from the large audience, “Not much!” That is why Mr. Davis and his fellow g ® candidates were cheered by the men who voted last year for James G. Maguire. o 3 James E. Murphy, one of the many men that have worked for Horace Davis, furnished one of the pleasant r,l\r- 4 dents of the meeting, when he arose unsolicited to tell of the good deeds done for the poor by Horace Davl A‘Ir. 58 2 Murphy s no orator, but no orator so far in this campaign has made such a telling plea to the working classes for g ¢ any candidate. R . “I'm working for Uncle Sam now,” he said, “and he's the best man I ever worked for with the exception o $ ? ace Dav! mh . $ 4 And the storles he told of Davis' generosity to the poor fully bore out the statement. 3 : & * In opening the meeting C'hairmnng‘L J. Donahue paid a splendid tribute to the Republican ‘candidate for Mayor. % © “Horace Davis” he sald, “is the man who fought our battles for us in the halls of Congress when Chinese im- : ¢ migration threatened our shores. You owe it to yourselves to elect him. If we do not we'll die in his debt. 2 “We'll do it!” “Never fear!” “Rah for Davis!” and no signal was necessary to start the three rousing cheers ¢ that greeted the name heading the Republican. ticket. \?3 glfln@l T. V. Eddy, who vgu the fl?sc of the speakers of the evening, began his remarks with the )smreme'n!dtl';‘-'}t : 4 in his opinfon this was the most important municipal election in the history of San Francisco. Mr. Phelan andihiste ‘ organs were trying, he continued, to make the people believe that there was only one question at issue, and that was : & home rule. e + “Thelr statements to this effect,’ he said, “are nothing but fustlan and subterfuge, cheap claptraps of dema- @ & gogue politiclans. Does Mr. Phelan pretend to say that San Francisco will be deprived of home rule if so beFlhnt 3 $ the Republican candidates shall be elected? No; he knows better. No; he knows that is false pretense.

He has fought always the battles of the people [ 2 without fear or favor.

As the campaign progresses the prospects of Republican victory brighten. It is the judgment of impartial spectators of the can- vass that Horace Davis will win out. The Republican leaders are confident that Mr. Davis will be elected by a handsome majority. The greatest danger in a political + (4] 3¢ campalgn is over-confidence. Ten days before the election last No- vember Democratic leaders and speakers were confident that Judge Maguire would carry San Francisco by 800 majority, but he lost the city by 3000. It is true that he was the victim of a politi- cal sacrifice. Mayor Phelan ob- tained Republican votes, which should have been cast for Charles L. Patton, In return for Demo- cratic votes for Gage, which should have been, under rules of party fidelity, cast for James G. Maguire. Republicans should be on their guard against trading in this elec- tion and they should exercise spe- clal vigilance in watching the count. The truth is now manifest that Sam . Rainey, the notorious Democratic boss who was once cartooned by the Examiner as the chief of taxidermists, on aceount of his dexterity in stuffing ballot boxes, 1s now Phelan’s confiden- tlal political agent. Republican watchers, therefore, should be or- ganized in every district, so that every precinct may be watched during the count. The people have confidence in Horace Davis. He is clean, noble and upright. All of his life is open to the people and his place of residence is accurately given in the Directory. 04040404040+ 0+ 0+0+C4CH0+04040404 04 0+ O+ 440040040 $ O +O404040+404+ + + | 40440040+ O 40440404040 | has derived an exceptional measure of prosperity from the Republican adminis- tration.

Joseph Britton and George K. Fitch have lined up with R. A. Crothers of the Bulletin_and Sam Rainey of the St. George stables In support of Phelan. It may not be amiss to remind the people ency of the Stratton primary law in .downing the bosses that Britton and Fitch went into court to defeat that law. ROUSING RECEPTION IN PRECITA VALLEY Republican Nominees Assured of Handsome Majorities. Graham's Hall, on Alabama street and Precita avenue, was crowded to its limit last night with the Republieans of that portion of the city, who came to extend to the Republican nominees a most en- thusiastic welcome. John T. Graham spared no pains in having his hall hand- somely decorated for the occasion. The chair was occupled by F. W. Warren, the president of the regular Republican Club, and a band of music was in attendance to enliven the meeting. ‘W. A. Deane, the popular nominee for County Clerk, was the first speaker of the evening. Mr. Deane met with one of those warm receptions which was a fore- warning of the number of votes which the Precita Valley freemen will deposit for him on election day. In his short ad- dress he outlined the duties of a County Clerk and convinced his hearers that he is just the man that knows how to con- duct such an important office in the inter. est of the taxpayers. L. Nagle, nominee for Police Judge, followed in a brief address, which was well received. Charles L. King met with a most cordial reception. Mr. King is the Republican nominee for the office of Supervisor, and from the manner in which he was greeted by the voters of Bernal Heights and its vicinity it s but fair to surmise that he will receive a most flattering vote. . Black, the Republican nominee for the important office of District At- torney, recelved a warm and enthusiastic reception, He asked if the voters of San Fra I ever worked for with the exception of Horace Davis. 1 subsided, Mr. Murphy drew more and more with his stories of the good nd was ever ready to help the poor. , “and T take pleasure now in recommending him to every man in San to support wife and bables and he's always paid them.

The meeting closed with three rousing cheers for the success of the entire Re- publican ticket. NORTH BEACH VOTERS WELCOHE MR. DAVIS Candidate for Mayor Receives Enthusiastic Reception. Voters of the Forty-fourth Assembly District congregated in large numbers in Washington Square Hall, Stockton and }'lll\rl) streets, last night and shouted for Horace Davis and the other candidates on the Republican ticket. De%, Cs wAY Glover called the meeting to order and introduced F. X. Schoonmaker of New Jersey as the first speaker. The distin- guished visitor aroused a great deal of enthus m by his clear and convincing discussion of national issues. The men- tion of the President's name brought forth loud applause, as did also the re- cital of the good work done during his administration. Thomas L. Henderson, candidate for Supervisor, pledged him- self if elected to look affer the interests of the northern part of the city. Abe Ruef introduced Albert Heyer, candidate for Assessor, and also told of the splendid services rendered the city by the Super- visor. Owing to the illness of John Farn- ham, Ralph L. Hathorn dwelt on his fit- ne: for the office to which he aspires. Louis Feusier, candidate for Treasurer, was heartily greeted when introduced. L. G. Carpenter, Dr. T. H. Morris and J, H. Scott were aiso present and addressed the mkt‘lmp.i(. Frank Kingwell spoke for A. P. Black and Abe Ruef dellvered a stirring speech in behalf of Mr. Davis. In the midst of his speech the candidate for Mayor entered and was given a noisy greeting. He addressed the meeting and in a sincere and convincing manner told his listeners what he would do if elected to the office. He said he was not in favor of ornamental improvements, but im- provements of a practical nature. If elected on Tuesdav next he would see that the city had good schoolhouses, good sewers and other important improve- ments necessary for the health and wel- are of the citizens of this city. When the speaker concluded the _audience cheered him and then dispersed. HORACE DAVIS' NAME EVOKES ENTHUSIASM Mission Repnbchans Hold a Big Rally in Thirty-Third. One of the best rallies of the campaign, both In point of numbers and the enthu- slasm displayed, was that held last night In Maennerbund Hall, on Potrero avenue, near Twenty-fourth street. The Repub- licans of the Thirty-third District gath- ered in large numbers to show by their presence the confidence they have in the ticket headed by Hon. Horace Davis, the bare mention of whose name during the evening was sufficient to cause hearty cheers to resound throughoyt the large hall. The audience was composed mainly of toilers, who have done so much for the upbullding of the community, and these listened with intellige. t attention to the forceful remarks of several distinguished orators. J. McNamara acted as chairman of the meeting and introduced the varfous speakers in complimentary terms. Among the candidates who appeared were: A. P, Black, candidate for District Attorney, Who made an earnest and dignified appeal for the suffrages of his listeners; Willlam A. Deane, who pointed to his good record as County Clerk as a just reason for his re-election; Dr. A. D.” McLean, nominee for Coroner; John Farnham, represented by J. D.

Crowded with enthusiastic men and women was Richmond Hall last night, when Horace Davis addressed the For- tieth District Republicans. Bands nor bonfires, though both were there, were needed to key the audience up to the cheering point. Mr. Davis delivered a short, plain, busi- nesslike talk, in the_course of which he caid, remarking on Mr. Phelan’s opinion that politics were at a discount as com- ip in this election: e to separate party spirit character of Hc from this can to be loyal administration w J ne so much for the building up of s city can avoid voting the Republican ticket. Not only by our protective policy | have we built up the internal trade of this | country, but this prosperity has followed the flag to the Philippines and the Orient. | This city more than any other in the | Union has profited by this policy. I ask you, in conclusion, to keep up a burning spirit of enthusiasm, and on the day of | election we will roli up a good poil of | votes for good government, McKinley and protection.” At the conclusion of Mr. Davis' speech a voice from the packed lobby shouted “Three cheers for Horace Davis!” and | they were given with a will. Other can- didates on the ticket who spoke were S. | Foster, Cyrus S. Wright, Charles BIi: Emmet Barrett and Leon Prescott. Wil- | liam Watson made a hit when he called | on the audience to vote for the head of | the ticket. “Never mind the foot—that's me,” he'said. *“Scratch my name off, but vote for Horace Davis, our next Mayor.” | gt =t S o PHELAN ATTACKS THE REPUBLICAN ORATORS Roasted Schoonmaker and Called | the Charter Democratic. ‘ James D. Phelan went before the Demo- | cratic voters of the Twenty-ninth District at Ploneer Hall last night and explained | to them in his peculiar way that the new charter_ was eSsentially a Phelan_ instru- ment. He was ably a ted by Franklin | K. ne and Assessor Washington Dodge and art: Every seat In_the hall was occupled | when Chairman J. J. Sweeney introduced | the first speaker. There was a good band and a_good quartet, but Mr. Phelan was | the whole show after several candidates | for Police Judge and Supervisorial jobs had been heard. The Mayor’s speech was | purely personal. He roasted everything in the fight that was not Democratic and | varied his usual style by a_ viclous at- tack on Hon, F. X. Schoonmaker, the ora. | tor who has lately been heard in behalf | of Horace Davis and the ticket generally. Assessor Dodge proved to his he: rers that he had saved them thousands of dc lars whether they paid taxes or not, and brought his well-known maps and charts to prove his contentions. He held up the fact that if any one than himself were elected Assessor John D. Siebe would he the power in office and, although he made no direct charges, he insinuated pointedly that only disaster and crookedness would | result. Franklin K. Republican Lane made an excellent | speech and was _followed by Alfred J. Fritz, Edward Mogan, George Cabaniss and other aspirants to office. POTRERO DEMOCRATS LISTEN TO PHELAN Full List of Candidates on Campaign Subjects. | The Democrats of the Thirty-third Dis- | trict met last night at Fourteenth and | Rallroad avenues and listened for three | hours to the oratorical efforts of the | spell-binding candidates.

Byington followed with flaming shafts of rhetoric about the greatness of the Democracy. After this there was some music and then the next relay of speakers began their work. James D. Phelan was_ the last on the bill, but before he arrived Dr. Cole, Wash- ington Dodge, George H. Cabaniss, Alfred Fritz and one_or two others had their political say. Mayor Phelan indulged in the usual Democratic platitudes and the band wound up the meeting by playing the national hymn. e St Campaign Incidents. The Lewis F.
