There are rumors, however, that Sacramento is indifferent and that Alameda County Republicans are apathetic. Stories circulated immed- ter the adjournment of the Dem- State Convention that the wage- of San Francisco, irrespective of previous party affiliation, intended to vote for Lone produced some uneasiness in Re- yublican cir and caused inquiry to be several Assembly districts of The real facts brought to light es the city show that Pardee will get the support of the Republican wage earners of the city. Lane will get the Phelan Democratic vote, but will not be able to bring to his support the Republicans who went into the Phelan camp. There is a strong im- hat Phelan is backing Lane, h 2 view of getting into the contest the United States Senatorship two years bence. Dr. Pardee is winning legions of friends in the country. The farmers, fruit grow- ers and workingmen respect him for his 1 courage. What he lacks nliness and spellbinder is more than counter- lanced by his individuality and his straightforward manner of talking to his fellow mep. He gains votes wherever he goes. There are indications that he ‘Will awaken in Northern California an en- thusiasm equal to that recently manifest- ed in the south. Congressman Charles E. Littlefield of M visited many interesting places in San Francisco yesterday. To-day he will have the pleasure of a trip around the bay on the steam vessel Golden ‘Gate. He will be accompanied by & party of repre- sentalive citizens. To-morrow night Mr. Littlefield will begin his speaking tour in Califorina at Stockton. Doubtless & mul- titude of San Joaquin Valley people wili assemble to hear him. Dr. Pardee, the popular nominee . for Governor, is homeward bound, and will reach this city or Oakland next Batur- day forenoon. ¥ Colonel Forbes of Marysville was a vis- itor at Republican headquarters yester: HENRY WILL NOT RESIGN POSITION Collector Wants Harbor Commissioners to “Fire” Hm. Ex-Assemblyman Lon Henry, who dis- #ppeared about two weeks ago with a small amount of cash and two checks be- ienging to the Harbor Commissioners, by whom he was employed as collector at the Fremont-street wharf, is back in the city again. He is trying to force the Board of Harbor Commissioners to- re- instate him in his position, from which.he was suspended at the time he left the city with the State funds. Henry refuses to resign, despite the fact that Paris Kilburn, chairman of the board, has asked him to do so. Henry, tor the time being, is causing Kilburn no end of worry, for Commissioner Kirk- patrick is in the East and Commissioner Mackenzie is lying ill at his ranch in Santa Clara, and Henry cannot be forced out of his job until one of them is able tc attend a meeting. Henry bhas been in Sacramento on a spree. One of the deputies in the employ cf the Harbor Commissioners and Dan Burns, for whom Henry voted during Burns’ unsuccessful Senatorial campaign, met Henry at the State Fair. They tried to sober the ex-Assemblyman, but he per- sisted in continuing the spree untli he was on the verge of delirfum tremens. Henry luckily had not cashed the two checks he had taken away with him, and his friends took them away from him and gave them into the keeping of the Harbor Commissioners. H presented himself _to Chief Wharfinger Percy Henderson last Mon- day morning and said he was ready to g0 back to work, but Henderson refused to allow hig to take up hi® old position, Henry was still badly racked from the ef- fects of the liguor he had been drinking for two weeks. When Commissioner Kil- burn asked Henry for his resignation the ex-Assemblyman said he wanted the toard to “fire” him. This it will probably do as soon as Kilburn ean get a quorum. Henry is under $1000 bonds and his bondsmen will have to make good his shortage if be is unable to do so. Family Troubles in Berkeley. BERKELEY, Oct. L—Frank Amiot, ac- cording to the claims of Sallor James M. Varley of 253 Ellsworth street; insulted Mrs. Varley during his absence in the Kiondike and was severely beaten by the seamean on his return. Amiot secured a warrant for the arrest of Varley and the jatter was taken into custody and later released on $10 bail. Ludwig Meinheit, living on Centaf street, upon being called a liar by his wife last nmight, struck her in the facc, and now Mrs, Meinhelt will commence di- worce proceedings ORGE ( AR P RANKLIN K. LANE, the Dem- ocratic candidate for Governor, was accorded a hearty greeting by the audience that filled the Alhambra Theater last even- ing. The attendance at this meeting was larger than at the previous one. The upper gallery was crowded and on the main floor there was little stand- ing room. There were many ladies in ths audience and their applause was Just as hearty as that of their male escorts. Mr. Lane was escorted to the place of meeting by the Iroquois Club of this city. The members of the club were attired in white uniforms and carried flambeaux. When Lane entered the hall he was greeted with cheers by the assemblage. The Iroquois braves’ war-whoop rang through the hall. gallery called for “Three cheers for everybody.” This sally was received with laughter and applause. Chairman Caminetti of the Demo- cratic campaign committee opened the meeting by reading telegrams from the southern counties, which were full of hope for Democratic success at the coming election.

Kuhls, John Reld, Tom-Ferguson. The XKnickerbocker Quartet followed with parodies on popular songs. ‘When the audience had, its surfeit of singing Mr. Caminett! introduced John J. Barrett, chalrman of the evening. The latter welcomed home the party’s candi- date for Governor. His address was an eloquent one and was received with hearty approval by the audience. In part Mr. Barrett spoke as follows: Fellow Citizens: In the name of the united Democracy of San Francisco, which gathers here to-night In an audience unequaled alike in epirit and in numbers.in the political his- tory of our city; which taxes the capacity of this spacious hall with its host of Tollowers; which crowds these aisles and chokes these ex- its; which fills this building to overflowing and throngs the streets without; which has read with stimulated confidence of the tri- umphant tour from which its leader returns, and which echoes back to the loyal south to- night in thunder tones and from throats its pledge of fealty and its prophecy of victory—in the name of this Democracy, unwavering in its alleglance and unbroken in its ranks, I extend an .earnest ‘‘Welcome home'’ to_the next Governor of California, Franklin K. Lane. LANE EXPRESSES GRATITUDE. The quartet played another engagement and sang a swan song for the Republican leaders. Lane was given a veritable ova- tion when he arose to speak. He was unable to proceed for five minutes. When the enthusiasm had subsided he said in part: Ladies and Gentlemen: The chairman of tHe State Committee has directed’ that I shall make no speech to-night and it is well that this is so, because after what has been said by the chairman of the evening, whatever I might say would seem tame ‘and ind!fferent and unworthy of such an-occasion and of such & splendid audience. ~(Applause) I must, however, say a word or two to you, a word that comes from my heart, my friends—a word that I am moved to say by the splendor, the spontaneity and generosity of your reception. I have never before seen so fine an audience; I have never before felt as I feel now, moved with a sense of gratitude, with a sense of love to my fellow men, to my fellow San Fran- ciscans, because of the love, the kindness, the fealty that you have shown to me to-night. (Applause.) | Aye, it is such demonstrations as this that move a man to take part in politics—that move him to go_forth among his fellow men and stand for their support in political campaig; It makes no difference what the trial, the trouble, what the strain or the exertion may be—if he can only come home and be re- ceived by those who know him in such a manner as I am recelyed to-night all things else are forgotten. (Applause.) I have been two weeks in this campalgn and I have enjoyed every minute of these two weeks, I have gone to the southland—into the very midst of the enemy, 1 was told. I have not found it to be the midst of the enemy, but the midst of friends. I made all those elabor- ate preparations that were made by General Miles when he planned his uttack on Porto Rico, believing that he was golng to meet a strong and powerful enemy. And I have met with the same kind of a reccption that Miles received at Porto Rico. The inhabitants have come out to meet me. They have accorded me & hearty welcome; they have strewn my path with roses and have greeted me with cries of rejoicing. Although they knew me as a Dem- ocrat, they have welcomed me as a Californian, I have been told that those people down in the southland were ‘“‘one-lungers.”” If you.had heard them shout at the meetings we have held you would have known they had two lungs ‘and two right good ones: two lungs to shout with, two hands to applaud with and two feet to'stamp with. I never want to hear one word said in reproach of the men of the southland. No man who Is a friend of mine will say that they are not a truly hospitable class of people. " No people could have re- ceived candidates with a finer spirit than they received myself and my fellow candidates, We began our canvass at the very southern- most portion of the State—at San Diego.

Although largely ~Republican, ey treated us handsomely, but when I fol. lowed that method of campaign which you know here has been my practice for three suoe cessive campaigns, there was some comment, When I went down to talk to the working. men at the Llewellyn Iron Works in Los A geles and_stood on a slab. of iron in the center of the street; when I went down to the elee. tric shops and down to the Southern Pacifie sbops and epoke (0 those men at noom, thep, 2 10,000 | But in all quarters offthe: GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATES AD- DRESSING GATHERINGS IN SOUTH- LAND AND IN SAN FRANCISCO.

I said to those people in Southern Califernia what I have in substance sald to you before in this campeign. I want to be the Governor of this State. (Applause.) I don’'t want to be the Governor of Los An- geles or San Francisco, but the Governor of the State, including both San Francisco and Los Angeles. 1 want to be the Governor of California that I may do some good for Cali- fornia. I don’t ask this plice at your hands that I may be the distributor of so. many of- fices, I do not ask this place at your hands that T may have power and feel that in the ex- ercise of that power I have gratification. I have no thirst for power, but I want to be the Gov- ernor of this Staté that I may identify my name with jt. What ie it I can do? What can any man do? Thousands of things, and yet some of them are simple. In speaking the other night I paid a tribute to @ very worthy man. That man is the President of the United States—(applause)— brave, courageous, noble and single-minded. He i8 in my belief a true patriot. No matter how we may condemn his policy we m admire him. Theodore Roosevelt is in every sense a Western man. When he came from his college into the West he looked abroad on the great prairie; he breathed in the spirit of this West- ern world, this land in which we live, and he became essentially in courage and spirit a Western man, I do not appeal to you upon narrow personal grounds; I am appealing to you as a Califor- nian. I am appealing to you because I love my State. We want to see her proud in a large population, see her great in all resources and I want to do my share to bring to Cali- fornia all that we want her to possess. Ex-Governor James H. Budd was in- troduced, the chairman referring in terms of praise to his administration. The ex- Governor was given a warm welcome. As usual he was hailed by his first name by the man in the gallery and he smiled at the familiarity. The speaker expressed himself at being flustered by the nice things Mr. Barrett said of his adminis- tration, He said the wind was taken out of his sails and he was nearly lifted off his feet. When he regained his equilib- rium, Governor Budd took up the tariff issues and discussed.them from a Demo- cratic standpoint. He belittled the Re- publican candidate for Governor and eulogized Lane. He chaffed Julius Kahn and lauded E. J. Livernash to the skies. The Governor spoke for half an hour and regretted he could not take more time. He sald he hoped to have an evening to himself some night during the campaign and when he secured a big audience he would lock the doors and speak to his heart's content. Robert F. Fitzgerald of Oakland spoke in favor of Lane and the ticket. Alex- ander Rosborough spoke for himself, Cheers were given for the ticket and the audience left the hall to the tune of a rag-time melody. After it was all over the vice-presidents gathered in bunches and congratulated themselves on holding a successful meeting. L e e BT FgiT NOT NERR DU WILLEMSTADT, Island of Curacao, Oct. 1.—President Castro of Venezuela, after leaving Valencia September 19, at the head of an army of 6009 men, with seventeen guns, with the anaounced in- tention of attacking the insurgent forces at Tocquito, commanded by General Men- daoza, reached San Juan de Lis Moros, pear Villa de Cura, believing that Men- doza was there. But the President found only 1500 local guerrillas at that place and after a sharp fight the latter were routed. The Government incorrectly announced this engagement as being a victory over Mendoza's army, whereas that general is near San Sebastian, ready to effect a Junction with the forces of General Ma- tos. The final success of General Matos is believed in Venezuela to be certain, ond as a result all securities on the bourse at Caracas are rising. The Venezuelan Government recently refused to grant the request of a delega- tion from the inhabitants of Barquisi- meto, who wished to obtain permission to Introduce provisions into the town through Tucayas, the only available port. The misery at Barquisimeto is almost in- Jescribable. The inhabitants have been without provisions from the outside for torty-five days, Cases of yellow fever and typhus have been reported there. - [ I * Audience Shouts ANTA BARBARA, Oct. 1.—Dr. George C. Pardee recelved an ovation in the Opera-house to- night that augurs well for the success of the Republican State tickét in Santa Barbara Coun- | ty on November 4. With the hall crowd- ed to the doors 1200 residents heard the various speakers and that the impres- sion they made was exceflent was ap- parent in the thunderous applause that greeted each telling point. As Dr. Pardee stepped to the front of the platform when introduced by Chair- man Aiken, there was a long-drawn-out demonstration. It was necessary for the band to interrupt the cheering before the speaker could be heard. When the nom- inee told the voters what he represented, where he stood and what they could ex- pect of him should he be elected Gover- nor, he told them what they wanted to know and that they were satisfled was demonstrated by a repetition of the dem- onstration when he concluded. Judge W. H. Alken was introduced as chairman and in a few words presented Dr. Pardee as the candidate who would lead the party to certain victory. Then the cheering began and continued until the band came to Pardee's‘ald. Dr. Pardee said he camg before the people of Santa Barbara that they might decide’ whether or not he would make a good Governor for his native State. Many pleasant things had been said of his can- didacy, he continued, and many unpleas- ant things, some true and many untrue. He wanted the voters'to be the judges. | He referred to the great prosperity of the country and of Caiifornia in par- ticular, and quoted Abraham Lincoln’s advice that it was bad policy to “swap” horses in the middle of a stream. There were now, he said, 20,000 more men at work in San Francisco than there were five or six years ago, and he did not believe they would be willing to “swap’ horses. The value of the protective tariff to the people of Southern California was touched upon and the increase of bank deposits in the sum of $150,000,000 during the last five years was pointed out as material evidence of prosperity. California’s fu- ture as the supply house of the great ‘market across the Pacific was pictured in glowing terms and he predicted. that there would then be thousands employed where there were hundreds now and the population of the State would be milllons where there were now thousands: Call- fornia could not afford to “swap” horses, he said, when the Republican protective policy promised so much and the Demo- cratie only disaster. Dr. Pardee referred to Lane, the Demo- cratic candidate, but twice and then on'y to pay a high tribute to his character as a man in public and private life. The other speakers of the evening were Frank Matteson, candidate for the State Board of Equalization; Horace G. Platt, D. E. McKinlay and H. C. Booth, BRI it TR PARDEE VISITS VENTURA. Shalkes Eundrad:)? Hands at an In- formal Reception. VENTURA, Oct. 1.—Dr. George C. Par- dee honored Ventura with his presence this afternoon, and, though no public meeting was held, Lie was enthusiastically received by the citizens, hundreds of whom shook him by the hand. The dis- tinguished Oaklander was accompanied by Duncan McKinlay of Santa Rosa and Frank Matteson .of Santa Cruz. A com- mittee composed of N. Blackstock, Ores- tes Orr, A. J. Bell and W. H. Barnes of Ventura, Dr. Mott Kelsey and R. M. Clark met the party at Santa Paula. By order of the State Central Commit- tee the meeting in Ventura had been can- celed and Dr. Pardee and his party had been so notified. The local committee had not been advised of the cancellation cf the Ventura meeting, so when the committee met the party at Santa Paula a reception was arranged. The State Central Committee had taken into con- sideration the busy season of the year and had realizéd that it was almost im- possible to muster-up a big daytime meet- ing when farmers and mechanics were g0 busy. Arrangements are now under Itself Hoarse in Greeting to Head of Repub- lican Ticket. way for a series of meetings in this coun- ty later in the month, when Dr. Pardee and his associates will be accorded a rousing welcome. The next Governor was tendered a ré- ception ‘at the Rose and ‘was introduced to ‘the ‘business men, professional mren and laboring men of Ventura. For each he had a kindly smile and a word of greeting, and with each he made a good impression. ASSESSOR DALTON KEEPS POLITICAL INTENTIONS DARK Postpones His Proposed “Independ- ent Republican Convention” of Alameda County. Oakland Office San Francisco Call. 1118 Broadway, Oct. 1. It was announced to-day that the so- called “Independent Republican Conven- tion,” which was to have been held to- morrow night, will be postponed until Fri- day night. The ostensible reason given for the postponement is that a proper hall could not be secured for that evening, but there is a suspicion gaining ground that the “Independent Republican Conven- tion” will never be held. The real and probably the only duty of the convention would have been to nomi- nate Henry P. Dalton for Assessor and give him a chance to get his name upon the official ballot on election day. The idea of this convention was born of a few henchmen of County Assessor Dal- ton. It was announced that this was to be a real Republican convention in which every candidate was to De given an op- portunity to struggle for a nomination. But there was but one probable candi- date, Henry P. Dalton, for Assessor, and one possible candidate, Thomas M. Roh- inson, for Tax Collector. Mr. Robinson ‘was not too anxious to make the run, even though he is the chief deputy for Assessor Dalton, and as Mr. Robinson is likely to find himself in the Assessor’s office next year because of his great value, no mat- ter who may be elected, this made the possibility of his candidacy even more re- mote, Even County Assessor Dalton is not too sure that he wants to run. He has told many that he would be a candidate and he has told an equal number that he would not be a candidate. When asked for an interview upon his intentions, Mr. Dalton says that he will be ready to maks a complete statement in a few days. Then he tells some of his friends that he is go- ing to run and others the reverse. Meanwhile the “Independent Republi- can Convention” is becoming just as un- certain in its action as the County Asses- sor is in regard to his candidacy. i gliie. ONE GUBERNATORIAL ASPIRANT IS JUGGED Carl Browne, Who Thinks He Repre- sents Labor, Violates an Oak- land Ordinance. OAKLAND, Oct. 1.—Carl Browne, who says that he is the “independent labor candidate for Governor of ~California,” tried to speak upon the streets of Oak- land to-night and was arrested. Browne called upon Police Captain Pet- ersen early in the evening and demanded permission to speak. Captain Petersen informed him that to do so without the permission of the Mayor would be in vio- lation of an ordinance. Browne started to write his address upon large sheets of paper at the cor- ner of Tenth and Washington streets, but finally lapsed into a speech and was arrested by Patrolman Clark.

THERING IN HIS HOM E CITY COMMITTEES ADOPT PLANS OF CAMPAIGN Local Republicans Resolve to Co-operate With State Body. ESESLP S Mayor Schmitz o Preside at the Union Labor Opening Rally. HERE was a meeting of the Republican County Committee at B'nai B'rith Hall last even- ing to consider measures for a vigorous prosecution of the local campaign. The chairman, Thomas D. Riordan, was empowered to appoint a committee of eighteen—one member from each Assembly district— to co-operate with the Republican Stats Central Committee in affairs comnected with Assembly district meetings. To-day or to-morrow the committee will be ap- pointed. Chairman Partridge of the late Republican local convention suggested that the committee previously appointed to bring all the delegates into a Pardee club should co-operate with the commit- tee of eighteen. The suggestion was adopted. Chalrman. Riordan expressed the hope and bellef that 10,000 citizens would as- semble at the Pavilion next Saturday night to listen to George C. Pardee, Gov- ernor Gage and George A. Knight. On motion of Jesse Marks the county com- mittee resolved to attend in a body. It was announced that the Republican Al- Mance of Oakland would escort the speak- ers from the Palace Hotel to the Pavilion. The action of the chairman in making the public announcement that the meeting would be held under the auspices of the county committee was approved by a unanimous vote. An important meeting of the Union Labor Party County Committee was held at B'nai B'rith Hall last night. 'Che meet- ing further up the street in the interest of Democratic Candidate Lane did not diminish the attendance of the Union Labor meeting. The committee resolved to engage com- modious headquarters for the campaign. It was decided, after considerable discus- sion, to open the local campalgn withl a mass-meeting at the Alhambra Theater next Monday -evening. Assurance was given that Mayor Schmitz would preside. Porterville Hears Smythe. PORTERVILLE, Oct. 1.—The local Dem- ocratic campaign opened this evening in the opera house. Dr. O. C. Higgins was chairman and introduced W. E. Smythe, rominee for Congress, who spoke on the arid land question and denounced the scripper bill. He predicted vietory for his party on November 4, and declared that the Fifty-eighth Congress would be Dem:. qcratic and would work in conjunction with President Roosevelt against the trusts. He was followed by E. J. Em- mons, nominee for State Senator in the Thirty-second Distriet. s Gillette at Jamestown. JAMESTOWN, Oct. 1.—Hon. J. N. Gil- lette, Republican nominee for Congress in this district, addressed a large meeting this evening from a platform on Main street. The Senator was accorded an ovation when he appeared. That portion of his speech outlining his position with respect to necessary mining legislation was recelved with much approval. The enthusiasm of the meeting indicates that Tuolumne Republicans are alive and will poll a heavy. vote. @it e RIGH ORE FIND JTARTS A RUGH Caravan of Miners Has- tening to a Nevada District. 1 2 Special Dispatch to The Call. WINNEMUCCA, Nev, Oct. 1—From Ploche, Lincoln County, comes the news of a marvelously rich strike of ore in the Silver King group of mines, about forty- five miles northwest of that place. The news was brought to Ploche by Clyde West. He reported the uncovering of a body of ore nine feet in width while run- nign a crosscut. It first opened out on the point of an apex like the letter A and at a distance of eight feet had widened to nine feet. ‘West had no idea of the richness of his find, but brought in what he considered a sample to have it tested. It looked iike black sulphurets, but it was in such large quantities that it was not believed pos- sible it could be that. When the assays were made it was found that each ton of ore contained 16,525 ounces of silver, and, according to-West's statement, there is an unlimited quantity equally rich. As soon as the discovery became known there was a stampede for the district and every available team in town was pressed into service.
