The bosses who put Wells at the head of the ticket are sending out for the dis- trict leaders who are not in line and im- ploring them to get in for Wells. Promises of support in the next ca paign are fraely given. The balky leader @re not asked to support the Superxisor: or candidates other than Mayor, but just to get in and save the head of the ticket from ruin. Everything now points to th defeat of W R property owners and taxpayer. ave resolved to support Tobin. In the Twenty-eighth Twenty-ninth, Forty- fourth and Forty-fifth districts there is a strong Republican tendency toward the upport of Schmitz. Politicians who have studied the situation estimate that Wells will not get one-half the Republican vote of the city. Two weeks ago the betting was even money for Wells against the field. There has been a complete turn about since. The only Wells money offered is on a proposition of Tobin against the field Promises of Places. The recent order of the bosses to cut everybody to save Wells is inciting a spirit of hostility toward the head of the hoss ticket. From now on Herrin and Burns will draw freely on the brick yard. Everything in the way of patronage the City Hall will be plastered with ten layers of promises in order to catch votes for the head of the ticket. It is quite evident that the “boy who want recognition will not be fooled again.

Eugene Schmitz Makes His Usual Promises to Listeners. Eugene E. Schmitz, the labor candidate for Mayor, was a busy man last night. He and his corps of campaign orators ap- peared at four places and were given the customary greeting by mixed audiences, which in no instance filled a hall. At Richmond Hall, corner of Fourth avenue and Clement street, Mr. Schmitz gave his usual talk about what he would do if elected Mayor. He did not forget to speak of Abraham Lincoln, and he ex nded the glad hand with his usu: unty : r. There was some enthusi arge part of the audience NOT A POLITICAL ORGANIZATION. !

DECLINES TO EULOGIZE THE MARTYRED PRESIDENT WORCESTER, Mass., Oct. 25.—Mayor Philip J. O'ConneH to-night sent to the City Council the letter of Senator George F.

I think the eulogy should be delivered by some persons who were in full accord with him upon the principal political measure of his administration. I never questioned his absolute sincerity, his devotion to the public weifare, his love of liberty and his desire to do his duty as God gave him power to see it, “I was fully in accord with him on the great financial measures with which he was identified.

TOBIN, candidate for Maydr, last night addressed three of the most enthusiastic meetings of the campaign. He spoke in Park View Hall, Ninth avenue and H street; in Golden Gate Hall, 62 Sutter street, and in Pioneer Hall, 2¢ Fourth street. The meeting at the Park was limited. numerically only by the capacity of the hall. Golden Gate Hall was packed, and at Pioneer Hall the audience ex- tended far out on the sidewalk. In the meetings of last night was re- peated the story of every meeting at which Tobin has appeared. He 'took the platform as Joseph 8. Tobin, candi- date. He left the platform, Joseph 8. Tobin, next Mayor of San Francisco He spent the early part of the day in the north end of the city, and wherever he went he left behind him friends that will by their votes on election day help to bring about the condition for which —_— Tobin stands, civic government on busi- ness principles: At' Park View Hall Tobin was intro- duced as a man who stands for honest?', decency and independence. He spoke in part as follows: I appreciate very much the kind words of in- troduction, and it js more than once that I have been called upon to express similar ap- preciation. While I appreclate the kind feel- ings waich prompted them, however, 1 want you all to understand that it is not to any merit, any cheracteristic, any great exertion on my part, that these words are due. After all, T have done nothing more than any young man would have done. I have done, little more than float with the tide and take advantage of such circumstances as fell to my fate. I stand here, gentlemen, the result of circum- stances. 1 shall endeavor to take advantage of those circumstances, and if this results in o election T promise that you will not regret i There is a subject in which this district is particularly interested. I refer to the munici- Ppal ownership of the Geary-street railroad. If it is secured by the city we will have an op- portunity of trying for ourselves the advantages of the ownership of public utilities. } * It is urged that the ownership of railroads by the city would provide offices for more politi- cians. ~ But remember, gentlemen, that i is a question of having those offices held by city officials controlled by civil service or having those railroads owned by corporations with city officlals bribed to act in their service. It the Republican Mayor and Supervisors are elected you know that the city will not get the Geary-street line. The Republican candidate for Mayor has nothing to say about civil service. 1 believe he is opposed to the merit system. He has shown it in the Auditor's office. I pledge you clvil service in the spirit and to the letter. Tobin was received at Golden Gate Hall with the cheers that have greeted his every appearance during the campaign, H. U. Brandensteln, who was address- ing the meeting when the candidate for Mayor arrived, gave way to Mr. Tobin, who spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: 1 have been walking from place to place to-day, almost the entire day, from 9§ o'clock until about hal? past 5. 1 have been dolng that for about a week past, and have had no opportunity what- soever to’ prepare myself so as to vary the Lsubject of my addresses.

The main floor of the hall and some seats in the gallery were occupied when the meeting was called to order by Thomas D. Riordan, who introduced “The Colored Trio of the Forty-third Assembly District.” Horace Wilson, who | was ‘chosen to preside, introduced Sam- uc! M.

In fur- ther discussion of local affairs he pre dicted the nomination of Theodore Rouse- velt for the Presidency in 1904 In extolling the administration of Henry T. Gage, the orator mentioned the appointment by the Governor of several citizens to consider plague conditions. The names f John P. ¥ ng, Fremont Older, Henr T. S tt and T. T. Williams were 'recollected, but one name slipped the memory of the orator. At least he told the audfence that there was one he did not think of. F ydy on the in- side knew that Wi ¥. Herrin was the man whose name the orator could not then pronounce. The candidates, who are “getting on to their jobs,” did not prompt the forgetful Sam. Give Sigh of Relief. There was a sigh of relief on the stage where the candidates sat when the sub- ject was dropped without the mentior Herrin’s name: Throughout his sj Mr. Shortridge spoke as it he real posed that the Republicans had thing to say in the nomination of the Re publican ticket. He did not tell his hear- ers that the delegates to the conven were never consuited about the tions. The gifted, but forgetful. failed to tell his hearers that Well got his nomination from D. M. Burns ana W F. Herrin. In closing his address, Mr. Shortridge the Herrin-Burns candidat Here is the language used by introduced for Mayor. Mr. Wells: Ladies and Gentlemen: 1 see that I have been quoted as making a speech at the banquet at @i e notes and in addition to my other misfortunes 1 had the misfortune to lose them. Mr. Brandenstein has spoken to you of the old order of things and the new order which the charter inaugurated and which we, the first officials under the new administration, did our best to carry out. I will give you an ex- ample under the old order of things: For some time it was a crying shame in the city of San Francisco that there was mo adequate accom- modation for any person the victim ol a con- tagious disease. The habitation that was af- forded them was unfit for the habitation of a dog. To make the necessary improvement it as determined to buy a new site for a pest- house. Now this, ladies and gentlemen, is a subject that should have led to the heart of any man, no matter hc iloused it might have been, no matter how hardened it might have been by political life, by political cor- ruption and by political debauchery. The Pesthouse Job. Did they fail to take advantage of it as an opportunity for stealing the public funds? N it was proposed to buy Mission Rock, a deso- late rock about a mile from the shore of Butchertown, which was worth at most about $500. It is a rock about fifty feet square, stand- ing alone, open to the winds, in the middle of the ba! They proposed to pay for that rock. worth 00, the sum of $15,000. Where was the $14,500 to go, ladies and gentlemen? It was to g0 into the same ¢ that has swal lowed millions of the dollars raised in this cit: and county by taxation, and the many., man millions of dollars raised besides by the co rupt bribery of corporations. We came into of fice, gentlemen, when that scheme was almost carried out, but at the last moment it was e posed. It was exposed in the press, there was an outery on the p: Merchants' Asso- clation, on the part of the capitalists Interested, and the thing was stopped. We came into of- fice and the same subject was raised. How did we provide for it? The Merchants’ Association proposed to us a site which they said could be purchased for $15,000. We chose three reputable Teal estate agents to appraise that site. The: appraised it at $15,000. We were not satisfled. We made a provision in the budget for the pur chase of that site for $12.000, and last week the sale was about completed at that figure. Business Methods. This site Mr. Sutro in his lifetime offered to purchase for $20,000. That, ladies and gentle- men, is the difference between the way . busi- | ness ds done under the new administration and how it was done under the old_administration. We propose to buy a site for $12,000 that was appraised by Mr. Baldwin and other real estate agents at $15,000. proposed to buy for $15,000 a rock which is ap- praised to-day at not more than $500. Now, I will give you another instance. Some years ago the franchise of one of the raflroads in the Western Addition was about to expire. A man in this city, a capitalist, who .owned the railroad at the time, wished to secure a renewal of the franchise. He went to the man who controlled the Board of Supervisors at that time—and you all know him. his name is famous, and infamous, too—and he said to that man: “I want fhis franchise renewed. What can I get it for?”” And he said to him— this story was told to me the other day by the man who made the proposition, the- capitalist who owned the road—and the man who con- trolled the board said to him: ‘I will renew of the | some- | And the old administration | the Palace H Rusiinated with a beautiful | and as saying that upervis is a good Boi in of my residence best board I ¢ spee | stopped, but it was not all 2 ‘Yl e | hat speec blication knows that 1 wa I e p (ha Begetis s of ¢t | d I said that the of Supe that charter wa »d_Board s They had good.
