The joint meeting of the Quarter Cen- v Republican Club, the National ke- publican League, the Army and Navy Re- ublican League and the Young Men's Re- Leazue drew a big crowd to the headquarters in the Central 3ank bullding this evening.

Becretary. el | MIGHTY shout for the coming Republican triumph from the brawny chest of labor—three ringing cheers and “a tiger’— rang out over the city from Scottish Hall last night. Statesmen have dissipated the mist of doubt raised by Democracy in its cry against expansion and financiers have pointed out the dan- gers in the path that leads to the flood gates of free silver. But last night was labor’s night and in a mighty demonstra- tion labor made known to the people and the world that it would stand by its ally in the past—the Republican party. It made known to the world its trust in the Republican party to protect it from Asia’s vellow races and by its approval gave to tne Republican party the strength to in- sure it that protection it has found for four years—protection in the home, pro- tection in position, protection from for- eign labor and protection from the ex- ports of foreign lands. This, the closing demonstration, was planned and executed by the United League of Labor, under the direction of Thomas B. Egan. Shortly after 8 o'clock the many divisions of the Labor League assembled at Pine and Market streets. e Bear Club, that loyal association of Republicans, grown gray in the service of their party, augmented by the Califor- nia veterans of the Spanish war, moved out from headquarters on Eddy street as an escort for the marching laborers. The columns met at Market and Third streets, | their bands joined in the same martial air | and the march to Scottish Hall was made. The flambeaux of the Bear Club were extlnguished, the banners and transpar- en(dE of the Labor League were laid aside and the supporters of McKinley and Roosevelt thronged the hall, which was already well filled with ladies and their escorts. A monster dinner pail, full to | overflowing with sandwiches, was hofsted to the forum, and to the cheers of the gathering the Rough Riders’ Quintet filled | their pockets as they sang of Democracy’s | coming swamp. After three cheers for McKinley and Roosevelt and three cheers for Julius Kahn the Bear Club retired to for new halls to conquer. | o ale Benator Manher was introduced semblyman and Justices of the Peace. To be plain, the voter can vote for only four Judges for the long term and only one for the short as chairman of the evening. As a trades- man—a machinist—he sald he deprecated loss of motion, and would, therefore, start the wheels of information on their grind. Senator Maher introduced Frank B. Mac- beth, candidate for the Assembly in the Thirty-ninth District. Mr. Macbeth point- ed out the importance of districting the city and said that undoubtedly the next Legislature would undertake this work. The Republicans, he said, were fair In their demand for a redistricting of the city, though the reverse had been charged —the fact that such redistricting would give, in all Frobnblll!y. another Republi- can Senatorial district north of Market street doubtless belng the cause of the Democratic complaint. This measure, the speaker said, he would support and bring all of his influence to bear to se- cure its passage. - Michael B. McBride, candidate for the Assembly in the Thirtleth District, was just concluding his address to the assem- blage when Congressman Kahn entered the hall. Mr. Kahn was greeted with cheer after cheer. troduced, though, as Senator Maher re- marked, he scarcely needed introduction, and opened his address. In part he sald: I want in these closing hours of the cam- palgn to say a few words about the paramount issue. The Democrats In all sections of the country raise the ery that ‘‘anti-imperialism" is the issue, 1In Colorado and other States, where silver is the principal production, they claim that free silver is the issue. In New York and other Eastern cities they cry down with the trusts and on this coast, here In San Francisco, at the very end of the campalgn, they bave produced a new issue and tell you that the Republican party is iIn favor of ad- miitting the vast hordes of Chinese to compete with American labor. ask you how does the Republican party stand on the question of Chinese immigration? Without waliting for your answer I will give you mine. When we annexed Hawall it wa: necessary that proper instruments for this pur- pose should be prepared and therein provision to exclude the 20,000 Chinese then in the islands was inadvertently omitted. I called the atten- tion of the chairman of the Territorial Com- mission to that fact and he informed me that action would be taken forthwith i T would sug- gest or draw a proper amendment. I drew the amendment and it was passed by the House, by the Senate and was signed by the President, Thus were 20,000 Chinese, lawful residents of our own possessions, denfed the right to come to the mainland of America.

When he asserted that November § was the judgment day that would bring rebuke to the administration, they applauded as vociferously as if they had really belleved it. Senator J. C. Sims, chairman of the State Central Committee, called the meet- ing to order and introduced Supervisor Joseph Tobin as chairman of the evening. Mr. Tobin had some sensational things to say himself. Some of them were these: We are here to rebuke the policy of ruffian- fem, the policy of murdering one-half of the in- habitants of the Philippines in order to eivil- ize the other half. We are here to do what Willlam McKinley promised to do when he took | the cath of office and swore to uphold the con- | stitution of the United States. The constitution | has become a by-word in the army of the | United States. Officers who serve under its | authority have come to scoff and sneer at it. I have heard General Merritt here in San Fran- cisco refer to it as an ‘“‘outgrown garment, as a mere string of platitudes.” We are here for high purposes, because we place the man before the dollar. The Repub- | lican party prophesies that the Pacific Coast | will give a Republican majority because we are |ifed fat on the spoils of war. We are here to Teflect on the price we have pald for these ani- mal delights. J. H. Henry, candidate for Congressman from the Fifth District, spoke briefly. out- lining his views on the tariff, monetary, labor, immigration and other questions. | He asserted that the war against the Fili- | pino insurgents was being waged at the | FaStance of the trusts under the lead of | Mark Hanna. He believes in a protective | tariff, and thinks the party does, but it | must be levied for the benefit of the many and not for the few. | Chairman Tobin desired to say a word | In honor of a man who, breaking away | from influences as strong as steel, “has | come out strong for what he concelves to be the right—Mr. John J, Valentine.” | That is the way he said it. He said more | about’ Mr. Valentine, and the audience cheered frantically. Mayor Phelan spoke in part as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen: After an absence of about a year from this hall it gives me great pleasure to return to discuss national issues. I ventured a prophecy a few weeks ago that California would cast its electoral vote for Wil- liam J. Bryan. The chalrman of the Republi- can State Central Committee offered to wager $100,000 that it would not be so cast.

When in Washington 1 called on Sec- retary Hay and Informed him of the dangers to this coast In particular from the influx of Ja- panese laborers. He jnformed me that the wishes of Congress on this matter would meet with his approval and as an executive officer he would carry out any bill that might be passed for the restriction of their immigration. The Jananese Minister at Washington called upon Secretary Hay and protested against the proposed action looking toward the exclusion | of his people and placing them on the same plane with the Chinese. e was informed by Secretary Hay, however, that if Congress so decreed thelr exclusion would be enforced. The Japanese Minister then informed his home gov- ernment of the condition of affairs and from this action an imperial decree was issued pro- hibiting the emigration of laborers from Japan to_this country. Now on my own motion I will present my paramount fssue. My issue is: Get all advan- tages possible for San Francisco and Califo nia and exhaust all means to better the condi- tion of the people of both the city and State.

HERE will be McKinley weather—fair and bright—in this State on election day. Itis 5tol, the McKinley odds, that next Tuesday will be a fair day, according to the opinion of the prophet who studies the moods and vagaries of the weather on the summit of the Mills building. G. H. Willson, of the local weather bureau, who ventures on the prophecy, says that, while it is a bit too early to forecast accurately, the indica- tions are favorable to a smiling Tuesday. The records show that in the past twenty-nine years the average number of rainy days in November has been seven. The greatest number of such days in the month of record in any one year was twenty-one, in 1885, while in 1890 there was no rain on any day in November.

B S e e e S i O B e ) Oakland Office San Franciseo Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov, 3. S, The ery of fire on the lower deck of the ferry-boat Oakland on the 6:30 o'clock trip from San Francisco to Oakland this even- ing very nearly started a panic. The cool- ness of some of the passengers and the officers soon allayed the fright, and the passengers alded in extinguishing the fire, which was caused by the crossing of some of the electrical wires that carry light throughout the boat. When the steamer was about half-way over smoke was seen issuing from the en- gine-room where the great walking beam played up and down. This portion of the engine-room !s enclosed and the curious are not allowed to look in, as in the main engine-room. The smoke ew thicker and began curling out of the cracks of the doors, and then the ery of fire was raised on the lewer deck. Some of the passengers began looking <for life-preservers, but the majority want- +ed to see whatwas the matter and whether othey could do anything. The deck soon became blocked, and the deck hands were forced to throw out a fire line to keep the passengers back. It was soon found that the electric wires had set fire to the woodwork on the inside of the engine- room, and there was a decidedly lively little blaze. A bucket brigade was formed nd in a short time the fire was quenched, but not until the wood work had been lamaged to a considerable extent. The alarm 4id not reach to the upper eck. where the women and children were, nd the passengers who traveled upstairs did not know of the excitement beiow. —— i Mexican War Veteran Dies.
