Al- ford aroused great enthusiasm.. He spoke for more than an hour and every time hc attempted to conclude, his audience paid him a sincere compliment by begging him to continue. * ALFORD’S ADDRESS. I have the honor in this campaign to be the candidate of the Democratic party for mef- ber of the Board of Equali?ation. Ordinarily little heed is paid by the voter to this impert- tant office. Except the Governor, there is Do office more important to he people. Thc Board of Equalization should work hand in hand with the Governor. The Board of Equal- ization levies the assessment upcn all rallroad properties, including franchises, roadbeds and rolling stock that lies in more than one county of the State. It also has the adjustment of taxes as between the several counties of the State. I can only promise you that if elected I will do my duty. I promisé you that if I am elected that so far as my vote and my inflence can accomplish it the railroad cor- poratiohs of this State will pay their just proportion of ithe ‘taxes. 1 also promise you that if I am elected my vote and my influ- cnce will be used to prevent San Francisco, which I will represent upon the board, from paying, as she has done In the past, than her $ust proportion of taxes. The Union Labor party has been kind enough not to nominate a candidate against me. I am, therefore, asking for its votes. I am of course anxious to be elected, but I say to the men of all pariles who will vote for some one for this position that if any act of utter- ance of mine, either as a member of the Legis- lautre of this State, or in any public position wi 1 have held. or in any speech which | T have made, was contrary to the interests of the people or contrary to the interests of labor and was not in favor of labor and of labor unionism as It exists to-day, I want the man who discovers that fact to cast his vote against me. Mr. Alford at the outset of his speech paild a tribute to Franklin K. Lane. He next discussed ‘‘Liberty,”” a subject which is his hobby. He divided liberty into three phases—political religious and in- dGustrial. He said we had accomplished political liberty, and religious liberty, and that the only problem before this Govern- ment is the accomplishment of industrial liberty. In part he spoke as follows: Livingston Jenks, candidate for Supe- rior Juuge, was introduced and made a very favorable impression by his earnest- ness and his personal appearance. The meeting concluded with the usual cheers more ceived with great applause. I make no apology for my appearance here to-night,”" said’ Hill, “because none is needed. You will recall what I said at the opening of the Tilden Club in this city seme months ago when I declared that in this campaign I should know no friends or enemies except the friends and enemies of the Demoeratic party. Re- gardless of past differences, which never related to party policy, I extend the right hand ef fellowship to every onme in this grand old organization or in any other worgdnization loyally supporting Demo- cratic and prineiples.” Hill 'spoke at length upon trusts and vision of the tarift. gt S ODELL, DENOUNCES HILL. State Political - Campaign in New York Becomes Intensely Bitter. NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—The State politi- cal campaign assumed a bitter aspect to- ‘day through the indorsement given by ex- Senator Hill to allegations published in a newspaper that Governor. Odell was inter- ested -in :business concerns that were profiting by Stat® contracts, The allega- tions were’ repeated to-night by Senator Hill in Dis speech at the Tammany Hall ratification meeting. Hill said: re- ! charitable institutions of the State made | 1ast winter by the OdeH administration ‘was not only- political but mercenary in its character. Its rcal purpose waswnot merely to secure, complete: control of the official positions to be had in the various charitable institutions, bu: to control the purchase of sypplies’ therein.” Governor Odell, speaking to-night at Syracuse, devoted mucl time to a denial and refutation of the charges. He said that when he was elected Governor he severed connections with. concerns that might be everremotely nenefited by the State contracts, and that he had con- scientlovsly refrained from saying or do- ing anything that might be construed as tending to help his former business asso- clates. The Governor also reviewed and denaunced the political career of Hill and concluded with a bitter personal attack upon the ex-Senator, to whom he alluded as “‘a man who nevcr knew the love of woman, who has never heard the prattle of innocent children/in his home, and who { would sacrifice his best friends to his am- bitions.” . | S i) 5 CINCINNATI, Oct. 22.—The. first llk only rally that the Republicans will have in county was addressed to-night by Senators Foraker, Beveridge and Hanna in Musi¢ Hall, which Was crowded.

Special Dispat: AN LUIS OBISPO, Oct. 22.—Not- withstanding that the visit of Franklin K. Lane to this city had been advertised in every cormer of the county and that his meet- irg here was planned to be the bis- gest of its kind In this county during the present campaign, the rally to-night, preceded by a torchlight procession, was nct at 21l satisfactory to the managers «f the local Democracy. For the last ten days the Democratic County Central Committee had been making elaborate arrangements for Lane's reception in this | city and the result has been disappoint- {og. - Three bands of music were engaged. ‘The managers hoped to have a thousand torches in line, but two hundred was nearer the figure. Instead of a packed | house in the pavilfon, where the speaking tock place, as at the Pardee meeting, tiere was room for many more than| those in attendance. - Lane arrivedon the afternoon train from the south and was met by a number of prominent members of the party and es- corted to his hotel, where he met many «f the faithfu]l. In the evening the torch- light procession took place. It formed at tie corner of Nipomo and Higuera streets and after some little delay got under way and proceeded to the pavilion. It may be true that what the procession lacked in numbers it made up in nolse, for small boys, of which there were a £oodly number in the parade, are gen- erally nolsy. In the pavilion a fair crowd had gath- ered, but the building could have held e e o e S SOCIETY EVENTS. | The executive board of the auxiliary of the reading-room and library for the blind, Fourth and Clara streets, open its doors for a house-warming on Sature day afterncon of this week from 3 to 5 o'clock.

An inguiry into the manner in which Mrs. Teresa Bell, widow of the late Thomas Bell, provides for the weifare ot her children out of the Bell estate was commenced in the Probate Court vesterday, Mrs. Bell having been cited to oppear and show what she has done with the funds allowed her, out of the estate of her husband since his death in Octo- T, , 1892, Wm only witnesses sworn were Willlam Eustace and Reginald Bell. minor chil- dren of Mrs. Beil, and wards of former Judge Carson. The boys testified that for some time past they had been keeping house with their sisters in the Bell home- stead on Bush street, paying their ex- penses out of $9 a month which came to them from- mother and such money as they cf earn.» According to their stimony, two boys slept in the room in_ which | cooking was done, while their sisters occupied the other room. They said also that during the time they attended school at Oakiand they received $2 a month _as spending money. This money, tl ‘ sald, was given to them by Mammy Pleasant whenever either one of them came home from the college they were attending, which was not oftener than once & month.

A few Democrats were here from other points. When Lane appeared on the stage there was 3 mild demonstration. Thomas W. Hickey of San Francisco was, the first speaker introduced, the. burden of his speech being an attack upon Pardee, Bev~ eridge and Littlefield. Lane began his speech by apologizing for his voice, which, he sald, he was doing his best to preserve. He spoke at some length on the proposed State polytechnic school to be located here and said he was heartily in sympathy with it. Drifting from this topic to that of school text books, he promised the people that, If he were elected Governor, text books should be free. He sald that national issues had no place in this campaign and he would not discuss them. If a Demoecrat were elected Governor the Golden Gate would not clese, nor would the water of the Pacific recede, nor would crops be ruined or orchards be torn up. Lane sald that Republican orators were going about the State with tears running, down their cheeks, begging the voters, who were deserting the party in masses, to stay with the ticket. He criticised the various State institutions at length and promised much for thelr.be!terment.
