Captain W. G. Leale, Pilot Commis- sioner. acted as chairman. He offered a few introductory remarks, dilating upon can ticket and the necessity of filling the principal city offices with competent and honest men during the first term under the new charter. ‘He then Introduced the speak- | ers of the evening. | he appearance of Horace Davis was | the signal for a round of applause, which | lasted several minutes. When silence was egained Mr. Davis spoke on measures of | vital interest to the city and county of | San Francisco.

The meeting adjourned with three rousing cheers for | the Republican party and its candidates. | | REPUBLICAN MEETING i IN THE FORTY-THIRD| The Forty-third District Republican | Club met last night in its hall on Mason and Washington streets, Dawson Mayer | acting as chairman. The seating capacity | of the hall was taxed to the limit, and | many who could not find places on the benches stood throughout the entire meet- ing. One of the first speakers of the evening was F. X. Schoonmaker, and his logical argument dealing with municipal as well | national issues impressed the audience | 0 such a degree that the warmest ap- | plause punctuated his speech from start | o finish. { Horace Davis spoke at some length, tell- ing his audience in a straightforward way just what the campaign meanit and what | e would do if fortunate enough to be the next executive officer of this municipality, He was greeted with cheers and a gener- | ous applause when he took his seat on | the platform. At the conclusion of his | remarks it was some time, by reason of | applause, before the chairman could se- | curc a hearing to introduce the next | epeaker.

He thus, according to his view of things and the lights of th Democratic manipulators, became a res dent of the Tenth Supervisorial Distric and is now representing that section in the Board of Supervisors, although his home is in an entirely different part of o frequent- with much in doubt as that of Mayor Phelan. For political purposes he ap- ake his home in his hat, and from whatever peg he'hap- | I, ting conventions last year, 200d ‘streak enough” records of date of nis Registrar's office give the vit as Jyne 13, 1848. This was befor Supervisorial iightning had struck him, or Democrats had dis- | covered that candidates and votes were scarce in the Tenth District. Mr. Deas ever ready to assist his party in any scheme, from the colonization of vote right down the list of jobbery practiced by political pirates, moved at once. On October 4 he notified the Registrar that he had changed his residence to 24 Sixth | street, dress 'was his legitimate place of ubode. The transfer was made just in time tc ermit Mr. Deasy to vote from the dis- trict at the succeeding election, and after- | ward Supervisor from the Tenth. Of course, after he was seated as a member of the Board of Supervisors he | returned to the bosom of his family out | at $24 Fulton street and again began to enjoy-the comforts of home. But he for- got to tell the Registrar that the sleep- fng accommodations in the Tenth Super- | visorial District had no charms for him. There may have been reasons. for him keeping the matter off the records. The truth might have jeopardized his seat on | other the board, and rather than do that it s to be presumed that he had no objection to the Registrar and the voters belfev- ing that he was still residing in his Sixth street shoeshop, slumbering at night on the soft side of a cobbler's bench and taking his meals off the front counter. When Mr. Deasy became a_candidate for Sheriff his residence in the Tenth Dis- trict was no_longer a matter of political necessi He evidently thought, how- ever, that he might just as well vote from the shoe-shop home and let his reg- stration stand. The searching investiga- tions of the Registrar proved disastrous to Mr. Deasy, and when he received no- tice that he would have to show cause why his name should not be stricken from the register of qualified voters of the city he first became mad, then sad and finally scared. He went to the Reg- istrar’s office and to prevent exposure of the questionable political practices to which it appears he was a party, re- auested Mr. Steppacher to take his name off_the rolls and say no more about it. That is why Mr. Deasy is not going to vote for Mr. Phelan this year. That is why Mr. Deasy is not going to vote at all next Tuesday. AND IMPROVEMENTS At a meeting of the South Side Improve- ment Club at 920 Howard street last night the indorsement of the Republican ticket was reiterated. M. J. McBride presided and made a short address, at the conclu- sion of which he introduced W. N. John- son, who spoke briefly. P. F.

THE THIRTIETH The Democratic Club of the Thirtieth Assembly District held an enthusiastic meeting in the rooms of the San Francisco Athletic Club last night. The prize fight bulletins kept speakers and audience away until 9:30 o'clock, but after that hour the seats were rapidly filled and the speakers began to tell what a good man Phelan was and what a good Mayor he would make if given another chance under the new charter. John A. Brown presided and P. J. To- malty dignified the gathering by his pres- ence. The Democratic speilbinders ar- rived late ahd left early, but they man- aged to keep the audience in a good hu- mor. Among the speakers were Mayor Phelan, Assessor Dodge, Franklin K. Lane, L. F.

George's Hall, at 317 Mason street, held a scanty audience last night, when Chairman Joseph B.

Byington, who received quite as much ngmauflc as the Mavor; Patrick Boland, Thomas Jennlngx, Jeremiah Deasy, C. W. Reed, George Cabaniss, A. B. Maguire, Assessor Dodge, Frankiln K. Lane, L. J.

Something About the Man, His Record and the Office to Which He Aspires, and Reasons Why He Should Be Elected. There are some things in connection with Supervisor John Lackmann's candi- | dacy for the office of Sheriff which should be considered by thoughtful voters on thé eve of election. Mr. Lackmann was | chosen Supervisor from the Sixth Ward three years ago by a very narrow major- ity. He ran for the office comparatively unknown. At the end of two years his services to the people had become so con- splcuous that the Democratic party did not have the courage to nominate a can- didate against him. He was elected Su- pervisor last year by a practically unani- mous vote of ‘the eiectors of dan rFran- cisco. 2 it Mr. Lackmann had not served the city taithfully tms tribute would not have beén paid to nis personai worth and cnar- acter. ‘Lhere is no other instance in local nistory wnere an ofiicial has so com- pletely commended himself to the masses as to pracucally force ail opposition nto the background.

It is necessary that a scrupulously careful and honest man should 1ill the position, or a great deal of gamage may be done to private interests and a great deal of personal in- Mr. Lackmann is a careful, conscien- tjous and upright official. He will dis- charge the duties of the office of Sherift as he has discharged the duties of the of- fice of Supervisor—with a scrupulous re- gard for the welfare of the puplic and a careful attention to the interests of lt- gants. He !s pledged to low taxation, cconomy and good government, and so far as his‘influence goes in the office of Sher- iff it will be exerted in those directions. No voter takes chances of Lackmann in office through two critical terms and has not been found wanting. In the Board | of Supervisors he has voted to reduce water rates and gas rates and against awarding railroad franchises for nothing. He has supported the dollar limit on tax- ation through two administrations. In 1807, "'when Judge Wallace's decree re- moved the entire Board of Supervisors, h s the only Republican reappointed w by Mayor Phelan. .At that time he was new in office, but he had already demon- strated the pos ion of a high order of | integrity and had given promise of the | subsequent record which he has made. He 1s in favor of public improvements, stem_and all the other rational things | by a young and progressive city. So far as his influence as Sheriff goes he Is himself a personal guarantee of economy, observance of law and cor- | ct administration. | Every voter in San Francisco must rec- ognize the fact that unless faithful offi- | cials like Lackmann are rewarded it is only a question of time when a premium Hale’s. tring the little fellows to see the dolls in our fairy- land. a grotto of gay and gorgeous splendor.

Lackmann’s majority for Sheriff should | be s pronounced that no doubt will be | left in the minds of anybody that the in- | tention is to reward a man who in the face of the strongest temptation has man- fully, during a period of three years of | most trying administrtion, stood up for | the people of alt parties, all nationalities, | 1 classes and ail conditions. The best tribute which has been paid to | Lackmann fs found in the Examiner (a | 1898, Speaking of Lackmann’s re-election ast year, after his trying experience in he previous Board of Supervisors, miner made the following remarks: “‘John Lackmann is a small grocer on a steep hill. He is not rich. He is not elo- quent. He is not particularly dowered with that spirit of effusive geniality which wins the hearts of the multitude. Yet John Lackmann, a Republican, was | nominated or indorsed by all the partles and received the vote and approval of every honest man in San Francisco. Why “Simply because John Lackmann shown himself to be an honest office- holder. He has been true to the people. So he leaves to his children and his chi dren’s children a_ heritage better than great riches. and there is no right-think- g citizen in the entire community who would not feel proud of the acquaintance of the small grocer of California street.” Coming from such a source, this praise ought to strike deep into the consciences of the people of San Francisco. It js op- nosition political cpinlon of a decisive character. CANDIDATES ADDRESS GERMAN DEMOCRATS 1 t The German Democrats held an enthu- slastic ratification meeting last night at their headquarters, 411 Bush street. The fact that a musical programme was to be presented and malted refreshments were | to be served atiracted a large crowd, though the spectators did not make their appearance until after the result of the | rize-fignt had been announced. Mayor >helan opportunely arrived at this june- ture and he was greeted with hearty cheers, which were repeated after he haa finished his somewhat brief speech. He was introduced by M. Greenblatt, who presided at the meeting, and made his customary appeal for the suffrage of his hearers by a recital of the many good things he and his colleagues had done for the community. Without attempting to be egotistical, the pronoun ““we” was re- peated ad libitum. The other speakers of the evening were | Oscar Hocks, who made an urgent appeal | for the election of Deasy as Sheriff, and | Clitus Barbour, who introduced something | of Democratic’ national issues in his re- marks. A number of candidates appeared during the evening and described their own peculiar fitness for the offices to which they aspire, to their own satisfac- lli'r').n and apparently to that of their au- ditors. NORTH BEACH VOTERS LISTEN TO PHELAN A crowded house greeted the Demo- cratic candidates wn~~ addressed the Forty-fourth District voters at Washing- ton Hall, Powell and Union streets, last night. r. Guldo E. Caglieri acted as chairman and introduced James D. Phe- lan, who was enthusiastically received. He spoke of his advocacy of technical education and went on to say on behalf of the Democratic party: “Our interest is centered in the local government, na- tional issues have no place in municipal affairs.

Pindar acting as chairman. The hall was but sparsely filled, and the little applause from time to time served but to take the fey chill off the gathering. The candidates were slow in arriving, and not much enthusiasm was displayed. Campaign issues were discussed but sel. dom, most of the time being consumed by a recitation of the transcendent virtues of the nominees and the enduring glory of the Democratic party. An occasiontl varfation was furnished by the band. —_———— CLOSING REPUBLICAN RALLIES, Ieetings for the Last Night of the Campaign.

If the attempt to | }orce national issues into city elections is not rebuked at this time, the great bene- fits of the charter will be lost. Notwithstanding false statements to the contrary, the bl-{)arfisan boards and | the civil service provisions give no party advantage to either side.in the matter of patronage, which the charter has wisely destroyed, unless the Mayor proves false to his oath of office. The Mayor has but thirty-three direct appointments. Civil service rules regulate the appointment of all the others, and the present members of the School, Police "and Fire depart- ments are secured in their positions by the charter on good behavior, and cannot be removed without cause after a trial. If elected I will be loyal to the charter and endeavor to firmly establish its prin- ciples and with least friction introduce the reforms which it contemplates, acting wholly in full sympathy and accord with its purposes and objects.

Auditor Wells'is of the opinion that the decision of the Supreme Court r(’gardlngi the inheritance tax, under which the Stan- ford estate will ®ay into the treasury more than three hundred thousand dol- lars, will make it possible to pay school teachers’ salarles for last November and December. The Auditor thinks that the city's portion of the money may be made Svainbin for the purpose. e is busy now inquiring into the law on the use to which the money may be applied and ex- pects to announce his intention in a few days. The Auditor has finally decided to audit the demand of C. B. Sessions, statistician of the Board of Health, who was apointed under the recent decision of Judge Hunt. The demands of all the officers appointed under that decision were held up and the interested parties were preparing to man- damus the Auditor to sign the demands. | In the event of failing in this course the employes expressed their determination to sue the Auditor and his bondsmen for the amounts of their salaries. The salaries of the other employes may be signed after the Auditor has convinced himself that he acted legally in the matter of Session's salary. e You Have Found It.
