Gage Is Plotting With the Democrats to Defeat Needham. Sl e The political signs in the south indicate an alliance of the Gage push with the Democratic bosses. The terms of the se- cret compact evidently provide that the Gage machine shall help the Democrats break the solld Republican delegation from this State in Congress. The Gage organettes have recently boasted that the Governor would receive the support of HIWTSON / \ mmpzw g flggj /. and Representative Needham in the Kings County convention disclose the purpose of the desperate Gagelings. An open fight against the Republican party led by Gage and the chief Democratic newspa- pers of the State would not be surpris- ing. It is noted that the leading Demo- cratic journals of the State have reopened the campaign to break down the pro- tective tariff laws, and while they are opposing protection to American labor they are booming Gage for Govermor. REPUBLICAN PRIMARY LEAGUE The central committee of the Republi- can Primary League will meet for gen- eral conference at Red Men’s Hall, 320 Post street, on Friday evening of this week. The executive committeemen of each and every Assembly district club of the league compose the central organization. The excellent work in the line of registra- tion recently noted is due to the activity and system of the Republican Primary League. It is now believed that a large percentage of the vote of San Francisco will be registered before August 2, and that the number of voters Plrflclpalin: in the primary election will be larger than ever recorded at a similar election. The league holds that a large vote will insure the defeat of the allied bosses, hence all legitimate efforts will be made to get every voter to register. The boss forces are now operating in several camps. Many of the old-time boss roust- abouts are masquerading as ‘“independ- ent” or “united” Republicans; but when the day of election comes they will be seen hand in hand with the Democrats in support of the boss tickets. The bosses are passing the word along the push line that the real leaders in the coumclis of labor have accepted the programme of the machine. BIG REGISTRATION. e registration clerks at the main of- nc'{eh and_ precinct boards registered 7100 citizens yesterday. The total registration up to, close of business last night was 35,000, a number considerably in advance of registration at a corresponding date last year. Every good knows that a large vote will overthrow bossism, and a large registration signifies that a large vote will be cast at the primaries. Eviflenl!k‘l the people intend to give the bosses a thorough trouncing at the coming election. The Republican Primary League Club of the Thirty-fifth Assembly District will meet at Excelsior Hall, 2317 Mission street, on next Friday evening. This club is making rapid progress in membership and expects the support of the best ele- ment among the Republicans of the dis- trict. The club will strive to send to the Assembly a man who has sufficient strength of character to be independent of the control of bosses and corporations, and at the same time properly look after - the interests of the district. The names of several men of excellent standing in the district have been suggested, but the club is not pledged to any one. Presi- dent 1. J.

The agonizing itching and burning of the skin, 2s in Eczema; the fright- ful scaling as in psoriasis; the loss of hair and crusting of the scalp, as in scalled head; the facial disfigurement, as in pimples and ringworm; thé awful suffering of infants, and the anxiety of worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tetter, and ealt rhenm, —all demand a remedy of almost superhuman wvirtues to successfully cope with them. That CUTICURA remedies are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evidence. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and perthanent cure, the absolute safety, and great économy have made them the standard skin cures and humour remedies of the civilized world. COMPLETE TREATMENT $1.00. The treatment is simple, direct, agreeable, and economical, and is adapted 10 the youngest infant as well 2s adults of every age.

This sweet, wholesome treatment affords instant relief, permits rest and sleep in the severest forms of eczema and other itching, bufning, and scaly humours of the skin, scalp, and blood, and points to a epeedy, permanent, and cconomical cure when all else fails.

These men were employed to watch over the desperate prisoners who have been sent to the institution to prevent them preying uPon society. In the prison are men who, if liberated as planned by Convict Fonte and his associates, would have menaced the entire State. The Prison Directors have investigated the Warden's conduct in the past, but have found no cause to reprimand him. He has been extremely fortunate to es- cape censure, but now that the plot at wholesale jaflbreak has been given to the public through the medium of The Call, Wilkinson will have to make ex- planation. Wilkinson will have to explain why the discipline at Folsom has been so lax as to permit convicts of Fonte's stripe to roam over the prison and conspire aganst the lives of the guards. He will | have to explain why fourteen guards have left Folsom within thirty days for more, will “have | | congenial employment. = He | €0 ‘explain o great many things, and| among them the reason he did not re-| port. the attempted Jjail _delivery and | wholesale murder to the Directors. The Prison Directors will not have the benefit of the evidence that the guards| who have left the prison might have given. They will, however, be able to fearn from Wilkinson whether the food he has dealt out to the officers has been in- ferior to that given them in the past. They may also learn from Captain of the Guard Murpny the true facts of the convicts’ plot to poison the night guard and set free the most viclous men in custody. FONTE HAD STRONG SWAY. Murphy can enlighten the Directors, if he will, to the effect that Fonte was a “trusty’” who is serving a_twelve-year sentence for robbery; that Fonte is re- puted to be a ‘‘pet” of the Warden’s and that, in payment for the liberty he en- joyed, he was expected to spy upon the guards and report their doings to Wilkin- son. He can testify how Fonte, taking ad- vantage of the freedom granted him had plotted to poison six men and_liberate such villains as Bandit Jack Brady, a life termer; “Kid” Thompson, a notorious train robber; Kris Myrtle, a desperate man; Santonia Whiting, another ‘bad man,” gnd others. L e e e i e e e el GOVERNOR OF NEBRASKA WILL ARRIVE TO-MORROW Arrangements for Reception and En- tertainment of Distinguished Party Completed. Governor E. P. Savage and party of Ne- braska, who were expected to arrive here to-day, have changed their plans and will arrive to-morrow instead. The party, on their arrival, will be met by W. J. Martin of the South San Francisco Land and ITm- provement Company and Edwin A. Barnes of the Bradstreet Company, who have perfected arrangements for their en- tertainment. The Union Iron Works has kindly ten- dered a tug for the use of the party, who will, on Friday, take in the various points of interest around the bay. .The United Railways have also tendered the use of a private car, and on Saturday the party will visit the CMff House, Sutro's u}r]ul ;arlous other points of inferest in the city. SRR e L il Laundry-Drivers Picnic. The Laundry Drivers’ Union is prepar- ing to give a picnuc on August 10 at Fern- brook Park. There will be races, games and dancing, for which excellent music has been engaged. The following commit- tee has charge of the arrangements: C. “ | street; James T. Meagher, 3448 Eighteenth street: J. T, Dufau, 3330 Eighteenth street; F. G. Huskey, 3722 Twentieth street, Willlam Mee, 3668 Twentieth street; F.

The following officers of the club are also ex-officio members of this committee: I J. Truman, president; G. W. Elder and John Reld, vice presidents; E. J. Lynch, secre- Fonte has confessed to the plot that emanated from his fertile brain. He and the convicts named are now suffering soll- tary confinement in dungeons and living on bread and water. It will be the duty of the Directors to say what further | punishment these men should receive and in passing upon them they will of necessity be compelled to learn of the laxities that pler{nltted the hatching of so diabolical a plot. Wilkinson’s prison policy has been severely criticised. The reported attempt at outbreak and the resignation of four- teen men in thirty days are alleged to be the result of a lack of discipline in the prison. PRESIDENT IS ASTOUNDED. R. M. Filzgemlfl, president of the Board of Prison Directofs, was astounded to read the article in The Call yesterday narrat- ing the attempted outbreak at Folsom Vi ; Wi g > s H W , treasurer; William P. pn:;om In speaking of the matter, he :?Srge serxl‘a“r?i'—:sg:rm& 5 said: - F. L. Turpin, Archie Reid, E. Worth and George S. Crim were appointed as a finance committee. The district is to be thoroughly can- vassed and the objects of the club are to be explained by an enrolling committee, of which James Rolph, David Kerr, Andrew McNear, William T. Plunkett and H. H. Murphy will form the nucleus. The Republican Primary League Club of the Forty-third Assembly-District met at the corner of Pacific and Leavenworth streets last evening. N. H. Hurd, M. M. Miller, J. F. Norman and C. E. Arnold addressed the meeting. The organization known as United Re- publicans, or the Grand Hotel Ghost Club, ‘was reported as visible in the Thirty-first District last evening. The Republican Primary League Club of the Twenty-eighth District met at 246 Third street last evening. The roll of the 1 was astonished beyond measure to read the revelation in The Call. I have not in my offi- clal capacity received a report from Warden Wilkinson. "If the outbreak is of the gravity reported I assume that Warden Wilkinson should certainly communicate with me about it. The mode of procedure in cases of infrac- tion of the rules which require the attention of the board is very simple. The Warden re- ports the matter to the Directors and the pris- oners are called in to state if they are guilty or not of the charges made against them. It they deny guilt an investigation is held. At the conciusion of the hearing the board fixes the punishment, usually adopting the recom- mendation of the Warden as to the punishment advisable in each case. This outbreak is a very serious one and it will be thoroughly investigated. We do not meet at Folsom until July 26. When the board does convene the matter will be taken up and punishment meted out to the guilty parties in the plot.
