Rea and E. M. Buckley. Among other party lead- ers present were Henry J. Crocker, Re- | publican nominee for Mayor, and Charles H. Spear, president of the State Board of Harbor Commissioners. The last named was present by invitation. The meeting was addressed by A.«P. Williams, Henry Ach, Henry J. Crocker, L. A. Rea, Fred Eggers, Thomas C. Duff, W. W. Sanderson and Charles H. Spear. Mr. Crocker’s remarks evoked great en- thusiasm. He advised that the campaign be conducted on broad lines and that ail factional differences be obliterated. TO MEET CANDIDATES. Members of the advisory committee de- cided to meet with the candidates at the headquarters of the 4league to-morrow evening for the purpose of considering plans for the campalign. The motion to indorse the action of the organization committee in requesting the resignation of A. Ruef was made by H. N. Beatty of the Thirty-sixth District and seconded by three or four members. In order to give force and clearness to the expression roll call was demanded, and every representative, including L. A. Rea™wof the Forty-fifth District, voted to sustain the committee. Charles H. Spear, representing the State administration. spoke eloquently of the duty of Republicans to support the entire ticket. The general sentiment was ex- pressed by all the speakers that the Re- publicans In this campaign fully appre- ciated their obligations to fan Francisco and to the party and would vote t! straight ticket. It is gossip in political circles that Hen- ry J. Crocker’s vote on November 3-will approximate 23,000. In view of the sharp contest between Schmitz and Lane, the triumph of Mr. Crocker is regarded as certain. Politieians predict that the total vote will be 58,000. It is figured. that Schmitz may get 18,000, Lane 16,000 and Whitney (Socialist) 1000. At the primary election the Republican vote exceeded the combined vote of the Democratic and Union Labor pafties. It is a sure thing that Republican merchants this year, in view of the sore expgrience of the past, will not vote for the Démocratic nominee, or the candidate of Ruef and Parry. All along the line the Republicans are pro- claiming: ‘e vote the straight Repub- lican ticket §pis trip.” The most ardent and confident supporters of the ticket are | Mr. | cities and the Republiean business men and taxpay- ers, who realize that something must be done to rescue San Francisco from the clutch of job chasers and tax eaters.

Vance to the number of 400 met in Richmond Hall, Fourth avenue and Cle: ent street, Monday evening and organ the Crocker-Vance Club of the Thirty- ninth Assembly District.

Grover Cleveland Speaks on the Great Value of Free Education. PN NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—Dr. John Hus- ton Finley, who left the faculty of Prince- ton to accept the presidency of the Col- lege of the City of New York, was to-day installed in that office. Seventy univer- sities and colleges were represented and Governor Odell, Senator Depew, Grover Cleveland and Presidents Hadley of Yale, Schurman of Cornell and Butier of Co- lumbia delivered addresses. A letter of congratulation from Presi- dent Roosevelt was read. It Is in part as follows: Nothing is more distinctive of our Ameri- | can republic than the peculiar fogtering care which through their representat have assumed over the edu | cltizons in primary matters o who care to go beyond primary | those additional branches iecessary qulsites for the attainment of { the great Next to the home it is the school, lege, the university which do mine the efficiency of the individual as a c zen In this great self-governing as leadership in | professions | per- | - republic of | ours, and therefore those who are to shaps our 1 | citizenship of the future put the nation in a special sense under obligations to them. Senator Depew was followed by Presi- dents Arthur T. Hadley of Yale, Nichol: Murray Butler of Columbia, Jacob G. Schurman of Cornell and Ira Remsen of | Hopkins in brief congratulatory Grover Cleveland then spoke, ial reference to the import- | ance an alue of free education. Pres- ident Finley's inaugural address dwelt on the importance of locating colleges i | citfes. | part: MV If we have outgrown the simplicity of our early national life; If with the growth of ab- normal enterprises and a mad struggle for wealth, a constant and acute solicitation for the country’s weal has been somewhat sub ordinated: and if in our soclal and bustne like life we can see signs of a cleavage that may divide our people into distinct and un- sympathetic classes, we should be watchful. If with these things we also discover a move- ment toward a more general collegiate educa- tion we ought to regard it as another unfa- vorable symptom If Increasing learning is to be | made only a mere ormamental accompaniment to the unwholesome and pitiable ostentation of | riches and oride. It should be the prayer of every patriotic citizen that American education may never he so degraded; that it may always remain true to its mission, a steadying force against all un- toward conditions; that higher education as it becomes more accessible and widespread may reinforce the firmness of our national founda- | tions, they are made to bear the Increased welight of our country's healthful development and that In the democracy of education | our people may ever be gathered together un- der the sanction of enlightened and ostrong | American citizenship. | e et S TR Receives Threatening Letters. | OAKLAND, Sept. 20.—W.

Brown, and, after rousing cheers for Crocker and Vance the club adjourned to meet next Monday evening. It is reported that D. B. Faktor will be placed on the Republican ticket for As- sessor to fill the vacancy caused by C. 8. Laumeister’s declination. R DEMOCRATS WANT PEACE. Minority and the Majority Trying to Patch Up Differences. Members of the minority in the Demo- cratic Municipal Convention are trylng to make peace Wwith the majorfty and to- night’s session of the convention will probably be a peaceful one. Franklin K. Lane's nomination will probably be made unanimous and the candidate will appear before the convention and thank the del- egates for the honor conferred upon him. Mr. Lane will do this as his friends have advised him not to write any more let- ters. Charles Wesley Reed, the candidate for Supervisor who was turned down by the convention last Monday night, does not know whether to feel flattered or angry. He s taking his defeat philosophically and feels that he will have saved himself many dollars by not being a candidate. Reed blames his defeat on ex-Mayor James D. Phelan, who is unfriendly to him. The minority will receive the represen- tation they ask for on the County Com- mittee. The resolution adopted by the majority, which gave the chairman power to appoint‘'the members at large, ill be rescinded to-night and the com- ittee will be appointed by each delega- tion naming its members. In the heat of debate last Monday night Joseph E. O'Donnell charged that the majority had broken faith in the se- lection of the three Supervisors for the tieRet. After a more calm deliberation O'Donnell and other members of the mi- nority who were members of the commit- tee qn conference signed the following statement, exonerating the majority: To the Democratic Convention and the Pub- lic: The statement having been made in the heat of debate and published that the majority in the convention had broken an agreement made with the minority to the effect that the minority might name absolutely three names on the ticket for Supervisors. we, chairmen of the’ minority delegations and members of the minority present at conferences, desire to cor- rect such statements as a matter of simple justice. No agreement was made by the ma- jority or by the committee on Supervisors on its behalf, or any one representing the ma- jority, that the minority should have the right o name any particular three perrons - the ticket for Supervisors.
