Y., Sept. 14.—Rain, which- fell in torrents, did not prevent a good attendance at the Republican | party’s semi-centennial celebration to- | night. The celebration was brought about by a committee composed of sur- viving delegates to the first regular State Republican convention, held here on August 16, 1854. Occupying seats on the platform were 125 white-haired veterans who voted for John C. Fremont. The presiding offi- cer of the meeting was Frederick W. |Sew ard, the son of Lincoln’s Secretary of State. Senator Depew and Major | Francis H. Fremont, a son of John C. Fremont, conducted Seward to his chair. Chairman Seward introduced Senator Charles W. Fairbanks as ‘“‘the next Vice-President of the United- States,” and the candidate received a great ova- tion when he rose to speak. He said in part: Fellow Citizens: You do well to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of the Republican party within the Empire State, for it has done more for human freedom than any other po- litical agency since the Pilgrims landed upon Plymouth Rock. All honor to you venerable gentlem®n who firty years ago stood at the cradle of the Re- publican party. It required resolution of a bigh order to renounce your old political alle- giance and allgn yourselves with the forces which assembled under the banner of Republi- canism. prejudice; criticism and epithet. But these did not stay your purpose. You and your immor- tal compatriots enlisted in a holy cause. You sought the north star of human liberty and turned neither to the: right nor to the left Opposition did not dissuade you. It but drove deeper into your hearts the roots of your ex- alted purposes. The Republican party did not organize for spoils. It assembled about an al- tar of eacrifice and in & sanctuary beset by enemies, In good time, in God's province, victory was given to your cause. It was not achieved un- til after our institutions were put to the su- preme test. With the best blood of the re- public, the crime which summoned you to your exalted service was washed away. | © The achievements of the Republican party | constitute the most luminous pages in Ameri- can history. Tgey have no parallel in all of | the ample annals of the past. The Republican party has mot been . the party of expediency. It has stood right and challenged all comers. It bas met every emergency which has arisen upon the high level of duty and honor. Above mere party triumph it has put the welfare of the people. To paraphrase the higtoric utter- ance of our first great leader, the \Republican arty has been a party of the people, by the pe e and for the people. It has possessed in n eminent degree the inmitiative faculty It y progressive. It has met the advanc- panding country, and our nt, under the inspiration of ges the admiration and the world. It has had convictions Fairbanks was followed by Senator | Major Francis B. Fremont, U. §. A., Who spoke briefly. Senator Depew spoke next. He said: ! ntion to this pregnant fact: In | ry, by natural death or assas- | Presidency has become vacant <ion under the constitution neces- sary nes. It As a contingency always before us. If Judge Parker should be elected | the respected and honored citizen who is the ticket will enter upon its_in- 1 on the | cumbency in his eighty-second year. That presents also the possibility of the constitu- tional rule of succession coming into force TUnder the law, If the President and Vice Pres- ident die, the members of his Cabinet succeed in the order of creation of those ministries— first, the Secretary of State; second, the Sec- retary of the Treasury; third, the Secretary of War. Every President must necesearily select the men who will fill these places from his most distinguished advisers and friends in the con- vention. This rule is inviolable and cannot be avoided. The two gentlemen who would thus be honored beyond all others would be Governor Hill and W. J. Bryan. Then would come @ southern man, and John Sharp Wil- liams would be entitléd to consideration. A contingency, therefore, is possible, though it ‘may be remote, that the people of the United States will have elected either one of these gentiemen indirctly for their chief magistrate. The voter must take into consideration in cast- ing his ballot whether his choice would be either of these gentlemen as compared with Roosevelt, Fairbanks, John Hay, Lesife M Shaw and Willlam H. Tart. | —_—— PEABODY INDORSED. Republican Convention Meets in Denver. DENVER, Sept. 14—The Republican State convention met in this city to- ! day and nominated the following can- didates: Presidential Electors, David H. Mof- | fatt, Percy S. Ryder, P. B. Stewart, | 8imon Guggenheim and John C. Os- | good; Congressman-at-large, Franklin | B. Brooks of El Paso County; Gover- nor, James H. ’Peabody; Lieutenant- Governor, J. F. McDonald of Lake; { Treasurer, J. A. Holmberg of Denver; Secretary, James Cowie of Boulder; Auditor, A. E. Bent of Prowers; Attor- ney-General, N. C. Miller of La Plata; Superintendent of Public Instraction, | Katherine L. Craig of Jefferson; Re- | gents of University, Thomas D. Baird of Huerfano, Dr. A. Johnson of Mont- rose. D. B. Falrley was re-elected |chnlnnl.n of the State Central Com- mittee. The slate was broken in the selection | of Holmberg as Treasurer over Gill of Denver. Another attempt was made to break the slate in the nomination of Superintendent of Public Instruction, but it failed. One of the incidents of the conven- tion was a speech by John W. Springer, who placed Greely W. Whitford in nomination for Congressman-at-large, and then withdrew. his name before the vote was announced. Springer in nom- inating Whitford took occasion to de- nounce certain Republicans who voted | against him for Mayor of Denver last May, and who, he said, were now sit- ting in the convention. “The leading name on your electoral ticket,” he said, “4s a man who found it necessary to issue a statement to the public press in the last municipal cam- gn advocating the election of the emocratic candidates—the man through whose efforts the defeat of the Republican candidates wsas encom- passed.” The wildest confusion followed this statement, but Springer continued, say- ing notwithstanding this he would sup- port the ticket and vote for Moffatt. The platform adopted by the conven- tion indorsed the national platform adopted at Chicago. On local issues the administration of Governor Pea- body was indorsed and the platform called upon all citizens, irrespective of party, to support him in his efforts. to “rebuke the spirit of lawlessness which would turn popular government fnto irresponsible despotism and keep alive class hatred, lawlessness and treason.” —_— y PARKER TO TAKE THE STUMP: Will Reply to by Mr. Colorado Questions .

He reviewed the work of the yvear and called attention to the fact| that the order now has 850 subord:r- | nate aeries with a total membership of about 150,000. He reported that the cash assets of the Grand Aerie | have increased to $70,000 and in view | of the rapid increase of the funds when the running expenses of the Grand Aerie are not heavy he recom- | mended that the per capita tax on all | members be reduced from 80 to 20| cents per annum.

SALINAS, Sept. 14—Word was re- ceived this evening from Pajaro to the effect that R. C. Vaughan, 24 years old, | had been found dead on a chicken ranch opposite his parents’ home. The body was discovered forty yards from the cabin used by the owner of the ranch, who is absent at present. Cir- cumstances lead to the belief that mui- der has been committed. Last night about 8 o'clock Vaughan left home, | stopping a few minutes at De Back’s | ranch. Soon after his departure the members of the De Back family heard three shots In rapid succession. This mornig the young man was found dead. Examination showed three bullet holes, close together, in his head, evidently made by a weapon of small caliber. The Coroner and District Attorney will Investigate. LR PTERCIVS: HEMEPAES: . .

Bishop Luther B. Wilson, L.L. D., presiding officer of the conference, formally opened the session by a few words upon the provi- dence of God in the fifty-first year of history of the conference and faith that the same divine care would still be vouchsafed to the church repre- sented. The calling of the roll showed that five members of the conference had died during the year—Rev. J. E. Bad- ger, J. N. Beard, P. G. Buchanan, J. W. Kuykendall and 8. D. Simonds. The following transfers were read: Rev. Alfred J. Whitfield, from Puget Sound conference; Samuel Quickmire, from Mexico; Walter B. Burton, from Mon- tana. Rev. C. B. Irons was elected secre- tary, with Revs. H. E. Milner and B. B Rev. H. J. Winsor was elected statistical secre- | tary and he appeinted assistants as fol- lows: Revs. F. W. Loyd, M. O. Brink, J. L. Burcham, Thomas Leak, J. C. Belster and Carl M. Warner. Rev. Thomas Filbin was elected treasurer and Rev. C. M. Richmond was made assistant. Rev. E. S. Robertson was made postmaster, Rev. E. R. Willis chorister and Mrs. J. F. Kellogg organ- ist. Various standing and special commit- tees were revised, which completed the organization of the session. At the last gession of the conference a plan was adopted by which a collection of 10 cents per member was to be taken in all the churches and each pastor was asked to devote 1 per cent of his salary to make a fund from which the salaries of pastors receiving less than $600 were to be raised, if possible, to that sum as a minimum. The committee was enlarged to re- formulate plans for this purpose, since the returns on the present plan were so meager, only about fifteen standing to indicate that they had taken the collection. A large number indicated their willingness to give the required percentage to this fund. Rev. G. L. Pearson, presiding elder of the Hawalian-Japanese district, pre- sented to the conference a gavel made in Hawajj and given by the church of the island. The gavel is made of three kinds of wood, representing, as the donor sald, three elements of the island church—Korean, Japanese and English speaking people. Rev. Frank L. Hart, representing the working of the Methodist Mutual Fire Insurance Com- | pany of Chicago, stated that the com- | pany now covered $23,000,000 worth of church property. Sessions were ordered to commence promptly at 8 a. m. and close at 12 m. The first hour will be devoted to evangelistic services, to be led by Rev. Joseph Smith, one of the leading evan- gelists of the church. The Bishop brought to the conference $13,091 as the part of the proceeds of the book con- cern due the California conference, and $22 from the chartered fund. The at- tendance is unusually large and is con- ed to be unparalleled in the history the California conference. The grove is taxed to entertain its guests. CHARITY CALLS IN-LES-SFELE SMALL VOICE By % Faith and Hope m world will disagree, =t all. mankind’s concerned in Charity. And of all dn.rlty the sweetest type is the charity to children—the physical charity of hmuln; and feed- ing and clothing the little lads and misfortu; h-h-. ‘;)t-oi through ne, stand eral dozens of little orphans—and it takes dollars to do it. The big gray stone house that stands | on the hill is the home of these little children and the only home they know. And within that home there must be loads of meat and bread and butter and shoes and ings—think, ye fath- ers of four, wha® it must mean to dig up these things for four hundred! Now, | that's just the proposition that these women, who guide the institution, are called upon to face. And therefore do they bid the pub- | lic to a garden fete on Saturday next, te be held on the grassy slopes of the Kent home at Kentfield—where purpling grapes do grow. No lovelier spot about the bay is there for a fete than this home place, nest- Lng close to rugged old Tamaipais— which, even thus early, smiles benevo- lently upon the efforts of the good women who are planning and plotting to make the affair a success. The following ladies are actively con- cerned in the goed work of putting dollars into the treasury of the big stone house: Mesdames H. L. King, H. W. Taylor, Charles Hoag, Caldwell and H. H. Dob- bin, who will preside at the handker- chief booth. Mrs. Church and Mrs. M. Connell will dispense tea, and Mrs. J. Coughlin sandwiches and salads. Mrs. H. L. Van Winkle will assume charge of the fancy booth, as will Mrs. D. W. Horsburgh and Mrs. Jane L. Martel. Mrs. Robert Dollar and Mrs. John Kech will preside over the fruit booth, and Mrs. John McKay of Ross at a fancy table. A clever arrangement has been made, whereby a luncheon will be served on the | the lawn for twent those who go over for tember air u late, thereby doing good selves and unto the fatherless little ones. Charities and churches —the two greatest agencies toward =thical worth! Here's a superb stone church to be finished—a chur ths 1 bear the same relation to sacr fices im the West that St. Patrick’s does to Gotham. Now to help this great stone church toward completion the following ladies have arranged to hold a euchre tourna- ment in Cotillon Hall, at Polk and Bush streets, on Wednesday, the 2Sth of the present month: Mrs. J.-F. Sullivan, Miss C. Thomas, Miss M. Shannon, Miss M. ( m, Mrs. Frank Panter, Mrs. C. Ivancovich, Mrs. Jules Clerpayt, Mrs. Amasa Thoraton. The tickets have been placed at $l and can be obtained from the commit- tee. Prizes? To be sure—and they'll be worth bearing homeward, too. That the tournament will be a smart affair, likewise profitable, is assured, even thus early. ———— - A Carload of Trunks.
