Judge Ward came here from Illinois in 1§77, Prior to that time he had been prominent In the politics of that State, and in 1872 was elected to Congress from Chicago as a Republican. After the expiration of his term he received the appointment of United States District Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois from Presi- dent Grant. In September, 1854, he mar- ried Miss Emma J. Raworth of Chicago. The year 1877 found him located at Lead- ville and engaged in mining.

ANTI-MACHINE FORCES MAKING GAINS THROUGHOUT THE STATE From Many Counties Come Reports That Portend the Crushing Out of Gageism. ACRAMENTO, Aug. 6.—Despite the orders of Boss Herrin and the disgraceful methods of the gang that is behind Gage, thé Los An- geles politician will surely g0 down to defeat on next Tuesday. That Herrin's orders are not taken seriously was evidenced by the number of rail- road employes who were earnest partici- pants in the meeting held by the anti- Gageltes last night. While realizing that to attend an anti-Gage meeting means the sacrificing of their jobs in the shops, the men feel that they destroy their in- dependence and become slaves when they obey the siren voice of Boss Her- rin. Asitisapparent that the shop men do not intend to vote as Herrin has ordered, the supporters of Gage are seriously thinking of having him return to this city and by further threats compel the honest toilers to vote the ticket that is to help to make Henry T. Gage Governor of this State for another term of four years. Even if Herrin should sneak into the city under the cover of darkness, as he did before, it 1s extremely doubtful if he could gain any votes for Gage, either by cajoling or threats of dire vengeance. That Gage is fast losing ground is ad- mitted by some of his stanchest support- ors. The news from the outlying dis- tricts is very discouraging to them, as they were first inclined to believe that | the” country people would lend their as- sistance in sending Gage back to the cap- Now that the farmers have an- nounced themselves as being against Gage the friends of the executive see only defeat staring them in the face. In the Second Ward a bitter fight is on between the two factions. George Vice and Limber Green are handling the Gage forces and are resorting to everything to procure votes for Gage, The anti-Gageites are strongly intrenched in the ward and are confident of carrying the day for de- cency and honesty. As a reward for his fatthful work Green has been appointed a gardener at the State Capitol, Orders have been issued to the em- layes of the State &xgnflng office to work o0 Gage. Harrsy gers, the foreman, has taken to_the platform in the interest of Gage and aialnst Mayor Clark, for whose election he worked a year ago, Last night Rogers spoke at a meeting of the Gage forces, which was held in the banquet-room in Odd Fellows' Hall. Ma- jor Kyle of Folsom was imported to arcuse some interest in the waning cause of Gage. The efforts did not meet with much success. ANTI-GAGE MASS MEETING. Standing room could not be had at the immense meeting held to-night by the anti-Gage forces at Ninth and I streets. Btate Printer Al Johnston, who is making a hard fight for Gage, and Tom Jones, assistant superintendent of the railroad company, listened to speeches condemn- ing Gage, from the outside of the large tent under which the meeting was held. Jones was not at all pleased with the scathing denuneciation of Herrin by Al- bert Johnson, who handled him without gloves for his interference in the fight in this city. The applause which greeted Johnson's remarks made Jones wish that he was at home. After briefly referring to the interfer-| ence of Boss Herrin in trying to gag the men who are employed in the railroad { shops, Mr Johnson said: Our fight is against Henry T, Gage and the old time bosses, who have been creatures of the railroad company. It is the duty of every yoter in this city to administer a biow that will forever crush Gage and his coterie of poli- ticians. This {s a fight of the rights of man against the might of the Southern Pacific Com- pan; Has this corporation any right to stifle free gpeech or deny the prerogative of any cit- izen 1o vote for whom he pleases? I say ‘No!™ RESNO, Aug. 6.—The representa- tive business and professional men of Fresno—merchants, law- vers, dogtors, the big raisin- packers, contractors and leading workingmen—organized to-night under the name of the Anti-Gage Primary League. Tige City Hall, where the meeting was held, was crowded. Attorney M. B. Har- ris called the meeting to order and was elected president. He read the platform and a list of signers. The platform de- clares that the nomination of He‘nry Gage by the Republican party of Califor- nia would be suicidal to the best inter- ests of the party. The signers pledged themselyes to oppose his nomination by all honorable means and to unite for the purpose_of electing delegates pledged to oppose him. Senator Rowell, George H. Monroe, C. L. Walters, S. B. Tombs, Frank J. Bar- leigh and Paul Meier were nominated as the league’s six candidates for delegates to the gtate convention. A strong exec- utive committee was appointed and ev- ery member pledged himself to work for the league’'s candldates. It was generally admitted that the Gage ‘push,” led by John Lynch’s dep- uty, Sam Hogue, and ex-Judge Carter, had received a knockout blow. At the conclusion of the meeting Sena- tor Rowell spoke and was enthusiastic- ally applauded when he declared that nearly all the Republicans of the State gere opposed to the renomination of age. The opponents of Gage gave evidence of their faithful Republicanism, he de- clared, by sending unpledged delegates, opposed only to Gage. 1. F. Mitchell, Congressman Needham’s political_secretary, declared after a tour of the State that Gage's claims were based on wind and that he did not have on an actual poll more than sixty-five delegates, and these Included the Kern and Kings delegations. The executive committee will meet to- morrow, and it proposes to have big dele- gations at both of the public district cau- cuses on Friday night. L e i e v e s e ] ] And as long as I can utter word I will lend my voice in denouncing any corporation that attempts to dictate to our fello# citizens to the extent of telling them for whom they shall vote, According to Herrin it Is & question whether the people of Sacramento have a right to vote unless they obey his instructions. Does he think that he can frighten us into voting for Gege, who has been our e y ever since he was elected Governor of this State? EFFRONTERY OF HERRIN. At the opening of this campaign we were told by the opposing forces that we were to bave free primaries and open caucuses, At that time we did not know that Herrin, the dictator, wanted Henry T. Gage for Governor. The railroad company failed to notify us of its intentions and now, through Herrin, it wants to deny us a right that is guaranteed us by the constitution. We are not making war on the railroad ¢ompany and it should not make war on us. We have done ten thou- sand times more good for the railroad com- pany than it has for us. We have made an honest fight and have the confidence of every respectable voter in the city of Sacramento. Then why should Herrin, attorney for the rail- road company, go down' the line and Instruct the 2500 men In the shopa to yote for Gage, who is mot a friend of the workingman and who is not fitted for the high office of Governor of this State? Resent the interference of Herrin | on next Tuesday and send Gage back to where he belongs. H. @. Thiele and Frank Griffin_also spoke. They paid their respects to Gage and, in language that could not be taken, declared that he was a disgrace to the State. More than one thousand per- sons attended the meeting, presided over by Frank Newbert, a popu- lar young business man of this city. which was | “trolled for Gage. — ANTA BARBARA, Aug. 6.—The expected walkover of the Gage forces in this county has turned out to be exactly the reverse. The opposition is making a des- perate effort to defeat the machine candl- date and the probabilities are that it will succeed. It is known that the principal sponsors of the Gage ticket to be voted for at the primaries on Saturday are lead- ing Democrats, some of thembeing closely identified with the Southern Pacific Rail- road Company. They are making no ef- fort to conceal their course. The better class of citizens throughout Santa Bar- bara County is opposed to Gage. The Gage gang in this city attempted to checkmate the opposition by creating a compromise ticket, with three Gageites to one of the opposition, the latter being State Senator Charles Greenwell, who is now a resident of Santa Barbara. Their plans were upset by leading Republicans who are antagonistic to the present ad- ministration, and the issue will be clean- cut between the Gage and the anti-Gage tickets. Before the primary election takes place a mass-meeting of the citizens will be held to bring to the attention of every voter the necessity of working against the ‘‘push” ticket. This meeting has been decided upon by the better element of the Santa Barbara Republicans. The anti-Gage forces in Lompoc are certain of victory. That town has two delegates and the men selected are both against the Governor. In Santa Maria there will be a spirited contest for State delegates, each side claiming to be able to elect its men. gy NAME PRIMARY TICKETS. Rival Republican Factions Caucus in the Garden City. SAN JOSE, Aug. 6.—Both factions of the Republican party in this city named tickets this evening for the primary election to be held next Tuesday. Meet- ings wege held in all four wards. If they are a criterion the vote next Tuesday will but repeat the defeat of the Mac- kenzie forces at the recent city election. Robbed of opportunities to plunder, the gang ranks have thinned tremendously since the city election, and while Mac- kenzie's henchmen are making a pretense of 'a fight, they face an overwhelming defeat. The chance of a Gage delegation being sent from this county to the State con- vention is too small to be considered, for even Mackenzie dare not risk an open fight for a Gage delegation. Even should his ticket win in the primaries, a large part of the delegates could not be con- Interest in the primary election on Tuesday centers largely in the control of the county convention and the machinery of the party. SOLIDLY AGAINST GAGE. Nevada County Swings Into Line in Opposition to Bossism. GRASS VALLEY, Aug. 6~Nevada county will send a solid anti-Gage dele- gation to the State Convention. A cau- cus of Republicans was held in the city hall here to-night to select delegates/to be voted for in the primaries on Saturday. John 'Blasson presided. With a single ex- ception those chosen were men known to be opposed to Gage’'s renomination. The exception was State Senator Tyrrell, who declared in the caucus that he was a sup- porter of the Governor. His name was rmitted to go upon the ticket, but the jenator’s hands were tied by the adoption of a majority rule to_govern the action of the delegation. e candidacy of GZAR GREETS GERMAN RULER Emperor William Meets Nichglas at a Rus- sian Port. REVAL, Aug. 6.—Emperor Willlam of Germany arrived in the roadstead to-day. The shipping in the harbor was brilllantly decorated with bunting and garlands and a spacious reception hall, lavishly fur-| nished, had been erected on the quay. The Russian merchant squadron anchor- ed in the harbor was dressed with flags. The Czar, on the imperial yacht Stand- art, sailed early to meet the Hohenzel- lern, and the German Emperor was trans- shipped to the Standart, which returned | to port with the two KEmperors aboard, | followed by the Hohenzollern and the | German cruisers Prinz Heinrich and | Nymphe. The Standart passed down a line of Russian warships, which fired sa- lutes and manned sides. The meeting of the Emperor and Czar on the gangway of the Standart was mcst cordial. They embraced and re- tired to a cabin for a private conference. The Hohenzollern anchored among the | Russian warships in the harbor and Em- peror William went on board her again to receive formal visits from the Czar and | Grand Duke Alexis. The Emperor wore | the uniform,of a Russian admiral and the Czar that of a German admiral, with the Order of the Black Eagle.

Great excitement pre- vails in that part of Plumas County. @ it @ | Frank Rutherford of Truckee for State Superintendent of Public Instruction was indorsed. San Bernardino Nominees. SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 6.—The Re- publican county convention here to-day occasioned little excitement, though the prearranged slate was broken in several places. The surprise of the day was the withdrawal from the Superior Judgeship race of Major F. C. Prescott, who was supposed to have been a strong candi- date. This left the field to Judge F. F. Oster, who was renominated by acclama - tion, The real fight centered upon the nomination for District Attorney, L. M. Sprecher of Colton winning on the fourt! ballot. Other nominations were: Louis Pfeffer, County Clerk; L. I. Coy, Tax Col- lector; Walter Waguer, Auditor; H. D, Sibley, Treasurer; F. C. Prescott, As- sembly, and H. Pittman, Coroner. —— Orange Delegates Unpledged. SANTA ANA, Aug. 6.—For months the Gage managers have been claiming a solid delegation from Orange County. to be instructed for the Governor. Now that the result of the primaries is known, it is a certainty that the delegation to be elected next Tuesday will not be pledged to any candidate, in either the Governor- ship or the Congressional fight. | made GOULD SY3TEM o ENDANGERED Engineers’ Trouble New York May Re- sult Seriously. in Special Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, Aug. 6.—If the desires of 500 engine drivers in the employ of the Manhattan Elevated Railroad Company prevail it will be a few days only before they desert their posts of duty. They be- lieve they are not treated fairly by the company. But if all that is said by the men who are contempiating the strike is correet, there is a much more serious proposition facing Gould and his associates than the tying up of the elevated roads, bad as that would be for them and for the peo- ple of this city. The strike, should it come, would assume proportions that would affect the whole country, whérever the Gculd system has a rail. At the last convention of the Brother- Leod of Locomotive Engineers held at orfolk, Va., last winter, plans were looking to the settlement of future differences between employers and employes on any branch of the big railroad systems, and it was de- cided that when men on any branch of a system had a grievance which, entailed a strike a committee which had full charge of that particular branch had pewer to call on committees from other branches for aid, and if necessary, to de- clare a strike on the who's system. So, while at present there is only danger that all the engineers on the “L” system may quit work, it may be that ail the rail- roads controlled by the Goulds will sut- er. To-day, after they had discussed the positive refusal of the heads of the com- pany to listen to- their demands, the en- gineers sent a telegram to P. M. Arthur, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Lo- comotive Engineers, at Cleveland, asking him to come to this city and confer with the leaders of the local organization, A dispatch received from him said he was unable to come here, but that in his stead his deputy, A. B. Youngson, wouid come with full authority to do whatever he deemed necessary. With him, be- sides a committee from the association here, will be_the head of the Firemen's Union, John K.
