THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JUNE 20, 1904 t in the California Republican Delegation Averted. BISHOP. Staft Correspondent of The Call. | | HEADQUARTERS CALIFORNIA | DELEGATION, CHICAGO, June 19.— | Through the consideration of M. A. | Gunst of San Francisco what threat- ened to be an unpleasant contest in the | California delegation to the Republican National Convention for the honor ot| representing the Golden Sate on the| committee that will notify President | Roosevelt of his nomination for the of- fice he now occupies was avoided. At a late hour to-night Gunst announced that he would bury his aspirations that | those of Governor Pardee might flour- ish and bear fruit. When the California delegation left| the Oakland pier on its special train Gunst was nursing a well-developed | ambition to represent California on the | notification committee. A careful inves- | tigation of the strength of his candi- | dacy failed to develop the slightest trace of opposition. Those that did not openly espouse his cause remained si- lent, and this Gunst's supporters inter- preted as meaning consent. PARDEE WAS NOT JOKING. Finally, however, it was circulated | that to add the spice of uncertainty to | Gunst's aspirations Governor Pardee had caused it to be made known that {he sought the honor Gunst believed | | was already in his hand. | | It was contended later that it was | the Governor's desire to indulge in his |leaning toward practical jokes that | caused him to express his willingness to represent California on the noti- fication committee.

Govern- or Odell opposed him because of an| | antagonistic attitude assumed toward him by Sheldon after the latter had | been denied the nomination for Lieu- tenant Governor on the last New York State ticket. Governor Odell had two candidates, | William Warren of Buffalo and Wil- | liam Ward of Westchester. Senator | Platt was for Sheldon's retention first, | and, when that was refused, was either for former State Chairman George W. Dunn of Binghamton or J. Sloat Fassett of Elmira. This after- noon Warren of Buffaic met Ward on | the street and said: i “Ward, if vou really care for the place on the national committee I will retire in your favor.” Ward said he did not care for it and | the two men went to Governor Odell | and apprised him of the difficulty. Sen- ator Depew was presen:, and, after | hearing Warren's statement, announc- | ed to the Governor that he favored ! Ward, who was from nis own district. | It was decided to go to Senator Platt and announce the decision and then | occurred the first objection. Senator Platt said that former Chairman'Dunn | should have the place, to compensate him for the loss of the State chair- manship. Governor Odell objected and when Senator Platt substituted the name of former State Senator J. Sloat Fassett he entered the same objection. Finally Senator Platt agreed to Ward's selection. - OUR WINE AN ATTRACTION. Any Old Ruse Used to Get Into Cali- fornia Headauarters. CHICAGO, June 19.—"Gedrge A.

CHICAGO, June 19.—In view of a threatened revival of the movement to name Speaker Cannon for the Vice Presidency, charged this time to the New York delegation, Cannon author- ized the press to quote him as follows: “Having in view the great compli- ment that the Vice Presidential nom- ination would be to any citizen, yet 1 am Sneaker of the House of Represent- atives and have been a member of that body for nearly thirty years. I feel that my sphere of usefulness, if Iluhave any, is in connection with the House. About a week after the close of the late session of Congress, at the request of friends, and perhaps others, I gave out an interview on this subject. This was done after full consideration, and I stand by the interview, which stated in substance that I considered the Speak- ership the second highest office under the Government and if the next House were Republican 1 hoped to succeed mygelf, and if not to cheerfully do duty in the minority.” Cannon concludes his interview with the statement that he is not now a can- didate for the Vice Presidency, that he would not at any future time be a can- didate and would not under any cir- cumstances accept the nomination. ———— LEAVE GOOD HOMES TO .

He was stricken with paralysis last Tuesday. He was one of San Benito County's most prominent citizens. Dr. Flint was born in Maine and came to California in 1851, becoming a promi- nent factor in the early history of the State. He was a member of the well- known firm of Flint, Bixby & Co., which owned large holdings in the cen- tral and southern parts of the State, besides large tracts of land in Wash- ington and Oregon. Dr. Flint was also largely interested in mining property in Mexico. In addition to his vast farming, orchard and stock interests, he occupied a prominent position in the business life of Hollister, being a director and one of the founders of the Bank of Hollister, a large owner in and director of the Grangers’ Union and vice vresident of the Lathrop Hay Company, owners of the largest hay warehouse in the world. Dr. Flint was a stanch Republican, always taking an active interest in his party's welfare. He was a member of the Republican State Central Commit- tee for years and a delegate to the na- tional convention at Chicago which nominated Blaine. He held many of- fices of public trust, being a member of the first Board of Supervisors of San Benito County, State Senator from-this and Monterey counties, trustee of the State Library and a director of the State Agricultural Society. Dr. Flint was one of the best known Masons in California. He was a past grand officer, being a Knight Templar and a Mystic Shriner.

FORCING FAIRBANKS' HAND. Senator Cullom of Illinois said: “There are many delegates in Illinofs, and in other States also, who do not favor the attitude taken by Senator Fairbanks and prefer that the place should go to a man who will show a little more aporeciation of it. Illinois has a good man in Hitt, and rather than let the thing slide to Senator Fairbanks in an aimless sort of way we have decided to push the fight for Hitt as strongly as possible.” The continued silence of Senator Falrbanks as to his pleasure regarding the Vice Presidential nomination was the base of the vigorous _movemen( toward Representative Hitt. The opinion was strongly. expressed at the gathering of the, Illinois delegation that at least until Senator Fairbanks | announced himself there was no rea- son why an active campaign for Hitt should not progress. Each delegate was commanded to go forth and hustle for Hitt. Graeme Stewart, the Illinois member of the national committee, was nominally put in charge of these endeavors. While the work 9( the day has not been compiled into a single report, each worker heard from has encouraging news for the Hitt boom. ¥ Delegates generally express the view that Senator Fairbanks should indicate his desires one way or the other. In the absence of this indication and with positive assurance that Illinois is feri- ous in the Hitt candidacy, many State delegates seem willing to march un- der the Hitt banner. The members of the Rhode Island | delegation arrived this afternoon and | opened headquarters in the Great Northern Hotel: “We expect to play a negative part in this convention,” said Charles Alex- ander, one of the delegates. “We have no especial candidate for Vice Presi- | dent, have not considered for whom we would vote and have no planks for the platform.” The Missouri delegation announced that the name of Cyrus “’allbfldge.or St. Louis would be presented for Vice President. Although all the members of the Kentucky delegation had not arrived to-night, John W. Yerkes, Commission- er of Internal Revenue and one of the delegates from that State, said that while no formal meeting had been held a majority of them were favorable to the nomination -of Senator Fa|rbanks‘ for second place. NEW YORK'S ATTITUDE. The present position of the New York delegation with respect to the Vice- Presidency was stated to-night by Sen- ator Depew. At first, he said the dele- gates thought it would be a pictur- esque thing to nominate Cannon, but inasmuch as the Speaker would not have it and Senator Fairbanks would, they would declare, he said, for Fair- banks. | With one exception, the New Hamp- shire delegation is for Fairbanks. Sen- ator Burnham expressed confidence in the ability of the remaining members to bring over the anti-Fairbanks dele- ate. " The Massachusetts delegation arrived with an idea that Fitt wouid be the candidate, but after the delegates had been here a few hours they decided to wait until to-morrow before announc- ing a preference. Several delegates said that the Illinois people seemed to have got to work rather slowly and that it would be wiser for Massachu- setts to withhold action. PRESIDENT HOLDS ALOOF. Another meeting of the Illinois @lele- gation is scheduled for to-morrow, | when the chairmanship question will | be settled. Both Senator Cullom and | Governor Yates are aspirants for this | honor. Several personal representatives of | the President, who arrived to-day, made an emphatic declaration that the President was positive in his determi- nation to express no preference re- garding the selection of his running | mate. | | | | Both Senator Lodge and, Secre- | tary Root said this to all the delegates | who approached them on the subject. Speaking for themselves, the close | friends of the President say they do | not doubt that Fairbanks would be ac- | ceptable to Mr. Roosevelt, but they are not willing that the President’s name should be dragged in to assist the In- diana Senator’s nomination. | Through an envoy of several North- | western delegations who called on the President several days ago and in their behalf expressed a wish to sup- | port the man he preferred, the Presi- dent has sent word that while he ap- preciates the compliment, he will leave this entirely to the convention. Senator McCumber of North Dakota | has come out for Fairbanks and thinks that sentiment in the Northwest is crystallizing on the Indiana man. An effort is being made by Senator Fair- banks' more enthusiastic supporters to have an Alabama delegate ncminate him. Senator Allison said to-night that the Towa delegation had not as yet dis- cussed the question of the Vice Presi- dency, but that it would hold a meet- ing to-morrow to decide what action to take. He would not state his own choice. Senator Kean of New Jersey, however, was outspoken Iin his sup- port of Fairbanks. The delegates apparently are giving comparatively little attention to the platform. The prevailing opinion is that the wishes of the President should be largely consulted on that point and the impression goes to the extent of believing he has indicated his views to his particular friends. That Sena- tor Lodge has drawn up the principal resolutions of the platform is gener- ally conceded, and all doubt as to whether he would be chalrman of the committee on resolutions has been dis- « pelled by the notification which Acting l(‘halrman Payne has given the Sena- tor that he will be recognized to make the motion for the appointment of the platform committee. “I have not a word to say about the platform,” said the Massachusetts Senator, as he dived to the bottom of the most capacious. valise that ever came to Chicago. “I can't say a word,” he repeated, as he put things to rights in his rooms at the Auditorium, “not even on the interesting topic of reci- procity, nor in reply to your guestion as to whether we shall ‘stand pat.’ I am simply dumb for the time.” There is some sentiment favorable to a declaration leoking to revision, but the “stand patters” are holding their position with a tenacity that indicates a determination to oppose such a movement. Senator Kean of New Jer. sey is a good example of this class. “I see no reason for a change in our present policy,” said the Senator, “and I am opposed to a move in that direc- tion. My opinion is that we should let conditions alone.” “Will there be a pronouncement on reciprocity?”” he was asked, but in | posits reply the Senator would only express his desire that there should not be. This he did in vigorous language, say- ing: “Let well enough alone.” “As to the Iowa idea,” he continued, “Jowva herself has already taken care of that.” HANSBROUGH FOR REVISION. Senator Hansbrough of North Da- kota, on the other hand, is leading a fight for tariff changes. He is the author of a declaration, which he cir- culated freely to-day, calling for “such a modification in the tariff as will meet our changed and changing conditions.” Delegates from the trans-Missourl section are generally opposed to any declaration for reciprocity, because of the effect of the statutory adoption of such a policy on fruits, wines, wool and hides. Senator Hansbrough's plank in the form in which he will present it to the committee reads as follows: “We recommend an early readjust- ment of the rates of duty in existing tdriff schedules to meet the require- ments of changing and changed bu: ness conditions and in the matter of our commercial relations with other countries.” As originally drafted, the plank was longer than this, but the Senator de- clared to-night that he would present it in the form quoted. The National Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation is planning to make a strong fight against the insertion in the plat- form of any plank calling for or de- claring in favor of the adoption of an eight-hour day or any declaration against the writ of injunction as ap- plied to labor disputes. Eighteen members of the association, several of whom belong to the etecutive com- mittee, are expected to arrive to-mor- row morning to watch the interests of the association. Senator Beveridge, Governor Dur- ban, Representative Overstreet and Representative Watson and most of the Indiana delegates arrived to-day. The delegation will meet to-morrow morning. Senator Beveridge probably will be elected chairman of the dele- gation. On every train delegates arrived to- day and to-night the hotel corridors are taking on a convention aspect Quite the most picturesque entry into the city was that of the Alaskan dele- gation, a half-dozen strong, each man carrying a miniature totem pole, on which was mounted a big white-necked Alaskan eagle. The Iowa delegation has determined upon J. W. Blythe of Burlington as the representative of the Hawkeye Stats on the Resolutions Committee. The se- lection of Blythe, who is the counsel for the Burlington Railroad, is opposed tc the Governor Cummins faction and prohibits absolutely the introduction by the Iowa delegation of a plank sup- porting either tariff amendment or a | reciprocity agreement. It puts the ve delegation with the rank of tand patters.” —_———————— Bolling a Ham. impromptu meeting of the | At Mughouse Club last night a score of members were telling each other how to prepare rare dishes, and you would have thought them a lot of experienced | an cooks.

The appointment is given Henderson as compensation for a claim which he lost In the early days of the Klondike rush. Henderson discovered gold on Gold Bottom Creek before Carmack found it on Bonanza. Carmack had been his guest and had promised to inform Henderson if any find was made. Instead he rushed to Forty Mile to record. When Henderson reached Forty Mile later he was allowed only one claim instead of two. The second, or dis- coverer’s claim, proved rich.

It is very fitting that the native name for Stanley, “Bula Matari,"™ should form part of the inscription on his coffin.

To the great ma- jority of the natives with whom he came in contact Stanley was an en- tirely super-human being, and yet he was not, physically speaking, a par- ticularly strong man.
