Pardee in this southern end of the State opened to-night with a splendid meeting on the plaza, of which | it may truthfully be said that there were m present at the close of the speaking than there were at the beginning of the meeting of the Dem- pe; so! mittee appointed by the Republican Cen- tral Committee. They were taken direct to the Horton House and thence to lunch eon, where Dr. and Mrs. Pardee were the guests of Mayor Frary and the chairman of the Republican committee. During the afternoon a reception was held in the Horton House, at part of which Mrs. Par- dee was in attendance. She was taken later by the ladies for a drive through the city and to Coronado, while the doc- tor continued to receive politiclans in the hotel and later on the street and at Re- publican headquarters. At dinner Dr. and the guests of the evening. Congressman V. H. Metcalf will return Monday and will begin an active canvass of the Third Congressional District. The Battlefield Veterans, E. J. Leonard commander, have repudiated the action of a couple of dozen ex-soldiers in indorsing a hodge podge ticket last Sunday, and have pronounced themselves as support- ers of the Republican nominees. With music and speeches the pro- gramme for Saturday night's demonstra- tion of Berkeley Republicans is an attrac- tive one. The meeting will be held at | Shattuck Hall. The three Republican | clubs of the college town have united and | will attend in a body. Samuel M. Short- | ridge will deliver an address on national and State politics. Judge H. V. J. Swain of Berkeley will present local subjects. A quartet, under direction of Joseph Mills, will sing. Voters will be cordially wel- comed and the fair sex is invited. The Prohibitionists will open a State campalgn to-morrow afternoon and even- | ing at Fraternal Hall, Washington street, near Thirteenth. Theodore D. Kanouse, candidate for Governor, will be the prin- cipal speaker. The Prohibitionists will nominate a county ticket to-morrow. | Former Police Court Clerk W. 8. O'Brien has launched a so-called “Inde- pendent Republican Part: which he says will hold a convention next Thurs- day night at Germania Hall. His asso- ciates are Joe Betancue, Willlam Hodges, F. W. Hubbard, A. J. Miller, G. F. Whit- tier, B. W. Bingham and A.-C. Henry. Leslie Blackburn is behind the scenes. It is current that H. P. Dalton wants a nomination for Assessor at the hands of this committee. | Mrs. Pardee were guests of Mr. and Mrs. | Waterman, M. L. Ward and L. A. Wright in the Florence Hotel. | The speakers’ stand and the band stand on the plaza were handsomely decorated with bunting, flags and pictures of Mec- Kinley, Roosevelt and Pardee. Chairman Wright called to-night’s gather- ing to order there was no available space within the plaza or on the sidewalks. PARDEE IS INTRODUCED. | Hon. D. L. Withington was introduced as chairman of the meeting and in a felicitous speech presented Dr. Pardee as a former San Diegan, who, like all San Diegans, always came back. Pardee spoke in part as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen: When I look out over this city of San Diego. with its magnifi- , fine streets and home-like res back to the time whei d two years here amonz dences my | & small bov, I pa: you. In those good days Old Town was the | metropolis of the South and looked with quiet | amusement and disdain upon its new-born | neighbor, at whose birth my old! friend Hor- ton had so successfully officiated. In those days Coronado Beach Wwas a wasie of sand and brush, uninhabited and but little thought ANTA BARBARA, Sept. 26.—With superabundance of noise, with bursts of cheering, music and flights of oratory, the Democrats i of Santa Barbara to-night ushered | in their State campaign of 1%2. The meeting was well attended, the opera- house being comfortably filled, Repub- | licans as well as Democrats being in at- | tendance. The chairman was H. C. Dimmock of Lompoc, the party's candidate for the As- sembly. He spoke at some length on State issues, his remarks being mostly an attack on the Railroad Commission. W. E. Smythe, the Democratic aspirant for Congress in this district, was the next speaker. He spoke of his efforts to *‘save the forests and store the floods,” to the end that homes for millions might be created on the public domain. He de- clared that the Democrati¢ party was no longer a party of negation, but was a construction party. The tariff recelved his attention. While he stood on the plat- form which declared for tariff for revenue only, he said that a tariff for revenue 1 could be formulated to protect the prod- When | it there was vigorous rivalry between National City, or Kimballville, as it was in jest, most often called.

Citizens of San Diego, I congratulate you on the beauties of your city, which, within the | memory of him who stadds before you, has grown from nothing to its present magnificent proportions, GROWTH OF CALIFORNIA. But San Diego is not alone in her magnificent achievements. My native city, San Francisco, when I first knew her, was but a village in comparison with her present greatness, and the few hundred thousands of people 'whe sparsely great valleys and filled California’s Special Dispatch to The Call. ucts of California. He predicted the dis- ruption of the Republican party over Roosevelt's urging of tariff revision as a remedy for trusts and said that Roosevelt had turned the lane into the Democratic street and the next house of Congress would be Democratic. Smythe's remarks were greeted with much applause. LANE ANSWERS CRITICISM. Franklin K. Lane, the nominee for Gov- ernor; Isadore Dockweiler for Lieutenant Governor, and Alexander Roxborough, for Secretary of State, arrived late and each made a brief speech before the meeting closed. Lane was the last speaker. He replied to the criticism of a Los Angeles paper that he had the cheap ways of a demagogue in going to the workshops and addressing the laboring men there. Said he: “I am going to places where they may be found. As they cannot always come to the halls at night when I speak, I am willing to go to them at luncheon time, as they sit around, and talk to them as I would talk to you on the street or go to you in your office.” Lane said that he had been made an honorary member of the Typographlcal Union because of certain services he had rendered the union men as an employer of * seacoast had falth in her future greatness, but little recked of the glorious possibilities of the nearby future. For who of our people twenty years ago dared dream that at the beginning | of the twentieth century California would be facing the era of unheard of prosperity that Will o shortly and so surely be ours? Before us stretches the great expanse of the mighty Pactfic, on whose far off shores millions. gaze upon the Stars and Stripes,- planted there by Dewey and the gallant men who wear the blue. It is California’s great opportunity to supply the wants of these millions from the superabundance of her own resources and to receive in exchange therefor the things they have to sell and barter. Too long has Cali- fornia been cut off from the lines of trade and commerce. Too long has she been com- pelled to play the part of husbandman to half the world with her winter rains and mountain snows held back in reservoirs, distributed in cheering floods upon her parched and wither- ing summer fields, her forests, 'wisely admin- istered, sheltering the moisture deposited In their cool and shady depths, California’s acres should support in affluence and comtort mil- lions .where she now has thousands. And her mountain streams, harnessed and made trib- utary to man, should and svon will furnish power to turn’ the wheels of mills and mana- factorfes that will make us masters of the markets of the world. Cheap fuel, furnished by the wells that pierce the bleak Kern hills, will make possible the lighting up of furnace fires and ‘start Into life the clang of forge: and the hum and stir of busy spindles. But, to do these things, we must have mar- kets in which to dispose of the surplus of the results of our labor. And where can we hope for better and more profitable markets than among the milllons on the far side of the great ocean whose billows wash our western shore? Give California these oppertunities that will soon be hers, and out of and into San Diego Bay will ebb and flow a tide of commerce and of trade that will amaze the world CAUSE OF PROSPERITY. But how shall California avail herself of these magnificent opportunities? Shall she turn back to the party of Cleveland and make pos- sible the hard times of ‘94 and '05, the soup- houscs and Coxey armies, or shall she again proudly proclaim herself a believer in McKin- leylsm, progress, prosperity and protection? None of you have forgotten the hard times of eight years ago, and none of you have for- gotten how quickly, after McKinley's election in '96, the empty dinner pail was filled, and how soon the smokeless chimneys sent aloft their clouds of incense to the god of pros- perity. “‘But,” our Democratic friends sa: has politics and_elections got to do with prog- and prosperity, or full or empty dinner Prosperity is the result of rains and sunshine.”” But they forget to say that the rain fell and the sun shone when Cleveland was Presi- dent, even better, here in California, than when McKinley accepted the Presidential chair. And yet Coxey armlies and soup-houses were very common under Cleveland and appeared like snow before the when McKinley was elected. Rain and sun- shine are, it s true, necessary adjuncts to prosperity, but without a good Republican administration to back them up, progress and prosperity do not appear. Needles, thread and cloth are necessary to make a suit of cloth- ing; but 1 am certain that it would require dis- midday sun FRANKLIN K. LANE DELIVERS A BRIEF SPEECH TO SANTA BARBARA DEMOCRATS labor. He referred to the circumstance of President Roosevelt being made an honorary member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. His declaration that “labor has never asked me to do aught which in good conscience I might not do” was roundly applauded. VIEWS ON PROSPERITY. Lane brought up what he termed the absurd argument that the 'élection of a Democratic Governor would interfere Wwith prosperity. “The curses of Egypt have not fallen upon Oregon and Wasnington because these States have elected Democratic Governors,” said Lane. Among the reforms he would seek to ac- complish if elected Governor were these: The betterment of conditions in the State reformatorfes and hospitals for the in- sane; better and cheaper State textbooks; a free market in San Francisco for the benefit of the producers of the State; a free employment agency in connection with the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and his most cherished dream, the develop- ment of the irrigation possibilities of the State that the population might be in- creased from 2,000,000 to the 40,000,000 the State could easily support under the new conditions. | of Californa, e M// //; il illlilivee thread and cloth and fabricate a good suit of clothing. The Democratic party never does succeed uniess the times be hard, and a Dem- ocratic success always means hard times. mes were hard when Cleveland was elected in '92, but no one has forgotten how much harder they got before he went out of office. DEMOCRATIC SOPHISTRIES. Our Democratic friends attempt to induce the people of California to vote their State ticket by saying that there is no connection between this election and the election for President two years from now. If that be so, what claim has the party of hard times upon the State offices of California? And, above all, why, then, did the Demiocrats in their State platform de- nounce the Republican policy of protection to American industries and demand ‘‘a tariff for revenue only?’ It is and always has been the policy of the Republican party to protect and foster all American industries, to the end that our people might have employment and be prosperous and happy. But the Democratic idea of “‘a tariff for revenue only’’ would make a return of the hard times of 1894 and 1865, the shutting down of most of our industries and the throwing out of employment of mil- lions of our people. Yet the Democratic party of the State of California denounces the Re- publican policy of protection to American In- dustries and demands ‘‘a tariff for revenue only.”” And still they say this State election bas no connection with the national election two years from now. There is another thing to be considered in this connection, and that is this: If there be no national significance in this State election, why do the Democrats nominate their candi- date for Congress? Should they be elected they, of course, will stand upon their party plat- form, which demounces protection and _de- mands ‘‘a tariff for revenue only.” Does Cali- fornia care to be represented in Congress by free trade Democrats? And should our State ture become Democratic, -Senator Per- ¢ successor would be a Democrat—which, heaven forbid! - And should a Democratic Gov. ernor be elected and either of our United States Senators die (which God forbld), would the Governor appoint his successor from the ranks of the free trade Democrats or the protection Republicans? So, when our Democratic friends say that this State election has no significance from the standpoint af the coming national election, 1 cannot help but feel that they are not quits frank enough to_tell the whole truth. PROSPERITY THE ISSUE. What are the issues in this campaign? First and foremost, the.continuance of the present_prosperity of our people. There is no other thing that can be So near to the heart of the Republican party. It was Lincoln's only wish, Grant had no other thought, Gar- fleld lived only for the American people, and McKinley relleved us from the Democratic hard times, filled the empty dinner pail, and gave us the great prosperity we now enjoy. If California is: tired of the good times she now has and wants more Coxey armies, let her vote the Democratic ticket on the 4th of No- vember, and by-so -doing tell the rest of these United States that she Is dissatisfied with the Republican protective tariff and is in favor of the Democratic demand for “‘a tariff for rev- enue only.” Let California elect the Demo- cratic ticket, send a_Democratic_delegation to Congress and put a Democrat in Perkins' place and she will have done all she can do to give us a_Democratic natfonal administration under which, even though the rain should fall and the sun should ghine, we would have a r tion of the hard®times of eight years ago. California_choose. I stand here to-night as the nominee of the Republican_party for Governor of my native State, pledged only fo support the platform of my party and promising to give the people should I be elected (and I think T shall be), as good, as clean, as honest and as economical an administration of their af- fairs as lies in my power; and this pledge and this promise T shall keep, If T am elected and live. MATTISON AND McKINLAY. Frank' Mattison of Santa Cruz, candl- date for member of the State Board of Equalization in this district, was intro- duced and spoke briefly and Duncan E. McKinlay was called upon to close the meeting. McKinlay's - oratory held the close attention of the audience. He de- voted most of his time to a dissection of the Democratic platform. At the close of the meeting the platform of the speakers’ stand was besieged by residents, who desired to congratulate the speakers, and on' the way to the hotel there was one continuous ovation. The reception In the corridors and reading- room of the Horton House had to com- tinue, though Dr. Pardee was quite tired. He will leave In the morning for Los of.

HOW JEREMIAH SULLIVAN CAME TO BE TURNED DOWN Democratic Politicians Figured That Murphy Was a Better Financier. The reasons for the turning down of Jeremiah ‘ Sullivan for chalrman of the Democratic State Central Committee have transpired. The Bourbon Democrats fan- cied that Barney Murphy, Bank Commls- sioner, was so familiar with the banking institutions and financia: affairs of the country.that he could readily produce any sum of money required to meet the ex- penses of the campaign. Judge Sullivan’'s devotion to Democratic principles was not questioned, but Barney Murphy’'s sup- posed skill as a money-getter was some- thing that the unterrified could not over- look. The Democratic local convention next Monday evening will doubtless nominate four candidates for the Superior bench. It is gossip that W. T. Baggett, Frank Dunne, Livingston Jenks and R. P. Troy will be chosen. The local Democrats seem determined to preserve the city or- ganization of the party, even if the Con- gresslonal district management is to bs s;lrrendered to another political organiza- tion, Sutter’s Increased Registration. MARYSVILLE, Sept. 26.—Returns from all but one unimportant precinct in Sut- ter County show the registration to be 1890, an increase of 166 over two years ago. AN IMIMENSE CROWD ON THE PLAZA IN SAN DIEGO * CAMINETTTS APPOINTIMENTS CALSE LEwy Members of “Cabinet” to Direct Lane’s - Campaign, -t ot ¥ Governor Budd Helps Cap- ture Democratic Works From Gavin McNab. Ex-Congressman Caminetti’s latest ap= pointee to the Democratic campaign come mittee is Robert M. Fitzgerald of Ala~ meda County. His selection to a place on the most important committee in the party has met with the approval of the “cabinet.” The ‘“cabinet” is the title of an organization of Democratic statesmen of this city. Such wise men as ex-Gover- nor Budd, Judge William P. Lawlor, The- odore Bonnet, John J. Barrett, William P. Humphreys, Charles J. Heggerty, Jere PRurke, when he is not doing politics for W. F. Herrin, and “Jim™ O'Brien compose the cabinet.’” Its sesslons at one time were held in . the offices of Mr. O'Brien, but since the .open- ing of the State campaign the meeting- place has been changed to the grill room of ‘the Palace Hotel. Round the festive board at the noon hour these statesmen discuss the events of the day. Questions of State matters that are agitating the public mind are settled and the actions of other Democrats are criticized or com- mended. Each member is allowed to swing his “hammer” as often as he pleases, but he must exercise care that he does not hit one of his cofleagues. That the “cabinet” i{s a power in Dem- ocratic politics at the present time is evi- denced by the number of its members on the campaign committee. Governor Budd, John J. Barrett and Jim O’Brien were ap- pointed on Thursday. Had Mr. Fitzgerald not been favorable to the “cabinet” it is very likely he would not have been ap- pointed. The manner in which the “cabinet” se- cured possession of the Democratic works shows that its members are astute. Om the day previous to the meeting of the ex- ecutive committee the “cabinet” discyssed at length the manner in which the tam- paign was being handled. Every member voiced his protest against the campaign being run from the office of the City and County Attorney in the City Hall. Jim O’Brien brought forth the list of the ex- ecutive committee and out of the thirty- five appointed by Chairman Murphy fif- teen were members or friendly to the “‘cabinet.” On Saturday last the committee held its meeting. In the absence of Chairman Murphy ex-Governor Budd called the committee to order. The first move was to elect a substitute for M. F. Tarpey, who had resigned. O’'Brien nominated John J. Barrett, a shining light in the “cabinet,” and ‘the committee elected the orator. The next play was to elect a chairman of the campaign committee. William M. Cannon, who saw through the “cabinet’s” plan to rush things through, advised that the committee wait until Chairman Murphy return from the south. Budd was opposed to this and expressed his opinion that delays were dangerous. Then Robert M. Fitzgerald displayed his friendship for the “cabinet” by nominat- ing Budd for the chairmanship of the campaign committee. Budd gracefully declined to accept the honor, but suggested that ex-Congress- man Caminetti was the right man for the place. Caminetti was notified of his ge- lection and upon accepting the posifion proceeded to appoint four Democrats to assist him in the work. He thereupon named three “cabinet” officers—Governor Budd, John J. Barrett and Jim O'Brien— and evidently at the suggestion of the “cabinet” Robert M. Fitzgerald was ap- pointed. Now that they have the works the “cabinet’” can run the campaign to suit itself. The noonday luncheon will be an important ~vent in future. No longer will the members of the ‘“cabinet” who can “spellbind” have to go out into “the highways and byways” to convert voters, for the party. They will address large audiences in the city. A It was stated yesterday by a well- known Democrat that Franklin K. Lane will pay little or no attention to the cam- paign committee, but will proceed to run his campaign himself. This means that the Lane committee will issue orders from the City and County Attorney’s office in the City Hall in oppesition to whatever the ‘‘cabinet”. might: recommend. At the meeting next Wednesday night two members of the ‘‘cabinet’—Governor Budd and Jobn J. Barrett—will deliver speeches. B s HERRIN HEADS FOR NEW YOBK Although E. H. Harriman, president of the Seuthern Pacific Company, resides in New York, he keeps a watchful eye “om the down deep” that is taking place in California. Evidently he does not approve of the present political workings - here and Chief Counsel Herrin of the big rail- road company was commanded to go to New York at once. Mr. Herrin left on the overland limited Thursday morning and is saving neither boot nor steam to make the shortest time possible in ap- pearing before Harriman and making a personal report. Around “the big yellow building” it is asserted that Harriman is like “the man from Missouri.” Herrin “has to show him,” and that prettily thoroughly, the political outlooks for the Southern Pa- cifie this fall. Unless Herrin can assure Harriman that he has picked a lot of win- ners that wiil be of inestimable value to the road should they be elected, Har- riman probably will order him to declare all bets off and let the candidates make their own fight. The most important matter in a political way with the railroad is, “Who will be the next Railroad Commissioners?” Her- rin will no doubt try to explain to Presi- dent Harriman that he has picked from the form chart three winners that will come under the wire pulling up. Old railroad men claim that Harriman sent for Herrin that he might -explain why he still dabbles in politics, and unless the chief counsel can clearly explain how the railroad will be benefited by taking an active part in the. coming campalgn he will receive explicit orders to keep out of all fights and give the stump spe: a free fleld. — SANTA CRUZ, Sept. 26.—The registra- tion of voters in this city totals 1456, an increase of 106 over two years ago,
