Judge Swee- ney is well known in this State and has an enviable reputation and record. —— ENTHUSIASM IN FORTY-SECOND. Oharles F. Curry Presides Over a Very Successful Meeting. Charles F. Curry, Secretary of State, came down from Sacramento to pre- side over an enthusiastic meeting of Republicans in Saratoga Hall last night. The Forty-second is his home district and he will remain in the city till Tuesday to vote. The meeting was one of the most successful district gatherings of the campaign.

Keane, candidate for State | Senator: George A. McGowan, for As- semblyman, and Julius Kahn, for Con- gress, were particularly the subjects | of demonstrations and it was ap- | parent that their popularity in the | Forty-second is strong. E. Knapp called the assemblage to order and introduced Curry as the chairman. The Secretary of State | spoke briefly of his confidence of a sweeping Republican victory and then introduced McGowan. The young orator acquitted himself very accept- | ably to his hearers. There was a repe- tion of the lusty cheers when Keane was presented and his speech was fre- quently interrupted by applause. Kahn did not enter the hall till after the meeting had opened and the raking had to be stayed while the blage gave him a cordial greet- | ing, including several rounds of cheers. When it came his turn on the plat- | form he got another ovation. Major Kyle and Benjamin L. Mec- Kinley addressed the meeting and the issues of the campaign were happily and thoroughly presented. The Co- lumbia Quartet interspersed the pro- gramme with singing'and a band lent | its aid to the arousing of enthusiasm. | o CROWDS CHEER KAHN. Candidate Receives an Enthusiastic Welcome in the Thirty-First, At Druids’ Hall, Fourteenth and Fol- | som streets, an enthusiastic meeting of the voters of the Thirty-first Assembly Distriot was heid last evening. The chief speaker was former Congressman Julius Kahn, Republican candidate for re-election in the Fourth Congressional | District. Kahn's reception was en- thusiastic. In speaking of it affer the | meeting, he said: “Two years ago, | when 1 canvassed this district, they greeted me Wwith cheers for my op- | ponent. Now tHere is not a strain of | discerd. They all come out with cheers for me.” The meeting was presided over by Judge Van Nostrand, Charles J. Mc- Donnell and Dorsan Nichols acting as | vice presidents.

The Republicans of the Thirtieth As- | sembly District rallied last night in Teutonia Hall and a rousing meeting was held. Every seat was filled and many who sought admittance were turned away. The candidates who were present and addressed the meeting were greeted with rounds of applause | and the mention of the names of the national candidates was always the sig- nal for prolonged cheering. F. E. Wallace presided as chairman and on the stage as vice presidents were N. McMahon, Fred Pendergast, 1. Erb, Jere Roach, L. Clavieux, J. Ber- tram, T. Sullivan, T. Doherty, F. Dau- net and N. B, Engle. The chief speaker of the evening was former Congressman Julius Kghn, who spoke not only for his campaign for re- | election, but for the party in general. He told of the needs of the Pacific Coast and pledged himself, if returned to Congress. to do his utmost for the welfare of the people of California. George B. Keane, candidate for State Senator; Francis McNamara, candidate for the Assembly; Ben L. McKinley, City Treasurer John E. McDougald, J. C. Wilson and Frank Johnson also ad- dressed the meeting. The speeches were excellent, dealing not only with national but also with local issues. SRt e CITIZENS TAKE PLATFORM. Business Men and Attorneys Urge Election of Republican Ticket. | N. C. Coghlan, Republican nominee for the Assembly in the Forty-first District, and James L. Gallagher, for Superior Judge, were the only candi- dates who spoke at the meeting at Steimke Hall, Octavia and Union streets, last night, but speechmaking | was not lacking, for prominent citizens much effective argument in behalf of the ticket. Coghlan and Gallagher were very cordially received and their well-timed addresses in behalf of Roosevelt and Fairbanks were heart- Hy applauded. E, J. Pringle presided and the first speaker he called was Judge Henry C. Dibble. Charles Murdoch followed with an entertaining comparison of | the present campaign with that of 1864 in San Francisco, when his first vete was cast for Lincoln. In those days party feeling ran high. The tran- quil campaign of 1904 was a wide con- trast, said the speaker, but the ex- planation was easy, for now there is virtually no contest to arouse the Re- publicans and the hopeless prospect of the Democrats has defeated all at- tempt at stirring demonstrations. Sheldon C. Kellogg and General ‘Woodruff devoted the greater part of | their speeches to urging the election of Kahn, pointing to his commendable record and the great advantage to be derived by San Francisco u lum e Republican - represent ‘Washington. : | gressman Livernash of the district took part and there was Democratic State Central Committee Closes I[ts Campaign in San Francisco. The Democratic State Central Com- mittee’s campaign has closed in San Francisco. The final mass-meeting un- der the auspices of the governing body of the party was held at Pioneer Hall last night. Walter Macarthur, editor of the Coast Seamen’s Journal, was chair- 4 man of the meeting, and Congressman Edward J. Livernash and Frank J. Sul- livan were the principal speakers. Mr. Macathur in his introductory re- marks deplored the policy of militarism which he ascribed to Roosevelt and the Republican party, and said that if this policy was not curbed it would inevi- tably lead to a war that would plunge the whole nation into blood and tears. This reapplied quotation from Inger- soll on Napoleon was followed by a new version of history, with Frank J. Sullivan as the author. Mr. Sullivan said that at the time of Lincoln the Re- publican party was the minority party; that it was Democrats that officered the army of the Union, and that it was the Democratic party that gave the ne- gro his liberty. Then Sullivan sald he was convinced | that the question of the tariff had noth- ing to do with the prosperity of the country. His contention is established, he said, by the fact that the most pros- perous time this nation ever knew was during the perfod from 1801 -to 1861, when, according to Sullivan’s historical discoveries, free trade prevailed. In conclusion Sullivan called upon the au- dience to support Congressional Nomi- nees Livernash and Wynn. Congressman Livernash had not yet arrived when Sullivan concluded his speech, ard William Greeley, who ad- vocated the cause of Joseph M. Plunk- ett, Democratic nominee for the Senate in the Seventeenth District; Charles A. Sweigert and S. B. Nolan, candidate for the Assembly in the Twenty-eighth District,’ were called upon to address the audience. They concluded with Con- still absent, so Walter Macarthur again stepped into the breach and spoke on behalf of the candidacy of Congressmen Livernash and Wynn. They should be supported, he said, because they had kept the faith, because they were intelligent and honest, were men of the people that could be trusted to remain loyal to the people in every battle that might arise in the halls of Congress. Mr. Livernash arrived at the hall at this point and received an enthusiastic welcome. After discussing national is- sues for a time he turned his attention to local conditions, which he said at the moment were overshadowing the national questions in the interest of San Franciscans. He said he had hoped that the present campaign would be a' clean one, different from the last, which drew him with its indecency into the valley of desperation, but he had found that the same condition must be faced again. He then attacked the Citizens’ Alliance for its opposition of his can- didacy and in conclusion said: “I want to tell you union men here that it is not me that the Citizens’ Al- liance oppokes. ¥t is you and the prin- ciples that you stand for. Be on your guard lest it be foo late when the fight that is now in pre'pa.rntlon opens against you.” R i e AT DEMOCRATIC HOSTS GATHER. Livernash and Hirshberg Address Gathering at Franklin Hall. The Democrats of the Fortieth Dis- trict gathered at Franklin Hall last night. Jubal Early Craig made the opening address, introducing W. H. Locke, vice president of the Iroquois Club, who acted as chairman of the meeting. The first speaker was David S. Hirshberg, candidate for the As- sembly from that district. Hirshberg in a long and fiery address told how dear the interests of the city and the State were to his heart and told what he would do if elected. While Hirshberg was talking Ed- ward J. Livernash, candidate for Con- gress, entered and was cheered. Liver- nash was introduced while the band discoursed the strains of “We Won't Get Home Until Morning.” Livernash immediately began to toss verbal bou- quets at Hirshberg.? “The only thing I know against Mr. Hirshberg,” sald the candidate for Congress, “is that he is too intensely interested in Cal- ifornia. We want good men in the Legislature. The average member of the Legislature is so crooked that if you drive a nail into his head it will come out a corkscrew.” Livernash also seized the opportunity to criti- cize Abe Ruef. This caused some hiss- ing. Other speakers were Edward J. Hanson, Jubal Early Craig, William E. White and W. H. Locke. PR LETTER TO FIRE COMMISSION. Charge of lllegal Registration Is De. nied by Engine Company No. 4. The members of the San Francisco Fire Department connected with En- gine Company No. 4, in a letter to the Board of Fire Commissioners, resent the assertion of the Merchants’ Asso- ciation that they are ballot box stuf- fers, and have addressed the follow- ing letter to the board: !AN mNL‘lSOO November 4, 1904. Honorable Board re Commissioners and Chief lncinur— Gentlemen: We, the undersigned, members of Engine Company No. 4, hereby forward you & communication relative to an article t.hn appeared in the columns of the Chronicle and the Evening nl«hfln of llmm- ber 8, 1904, in which we are classii as bal- lot-box_stuffecs.

The articles referred to in the fore- going letter asserted that there was no guch number as 676 Howard street and also mentioned two other firemen, one of whom has been drvpnl from the dcmnment -.ml _the that” a communication stating the facts be sent to the Registrar of Vot- ers, and Commissioner Parry quoted The Call of yesterday, wherein was published a letter from the Registrar claiming that a similar error had been made in the list of the City and Coun- ty Hospital employes. Jules Vincent, a truckman of Truck {No. 1, was before the Commissioners i yesterday on charges of failing to an- swer an alarm, assigning his salary and indorsing a note of a brother fireman. He pleaded guilty and the Commissioners have the case under advisement. ——— OBTAIN INSPECTORS' REMOVAL. Voters of the Thirty-Ninth Object to W. J. Foster. Several voters from the Fourth Pre- cinct of the Thirty-ninth Assembly District, together with Fairfax H. Wheelan of the Merchants’ Associa- tion, appeared last night before the beard of Election Commissioners to show why W. J. Foster, an election in- spector, should be dismissed. Mr. Hazel testified that Foster was an em- loye of the United States Government nd therefore disqualified from serv- ing. Fairfax Wheelan then testified that Fcster, while an election officer of the Fourth Precinct at the last primary election, was present when Adolph Steffens, whom Foster knew, voted the name of another man and that Foster made no protest. In reply Foster said that he was sick on election day and away from the voting booth several times. He acded that he saw no illegal voting. The question resolved itself into the necessity of believing Mr. Wheelan or Mr. Foster and the board decided to giyve the city the benefit of the doubt. It removed Foster on the ground that he is a Government employe. Regarding the communication from the Fire Commissioners relating to the cemplaint of the firemen of Engine Company 4 that they were falsely ac- cused of being ballot-box stuffers, the Election Board decided that its former letter to the Merchants’ Association relating to the City and County Hos- pital registrations covered the case. The board passed a resolution, how- ever, “condemning the policy of any association that accuses legal voters of San Francisco of being ballot-box stuffers.” There still remain 100 vacanies on the list of election officers to be filled by Tuesday and the members were asked to make special effort to have the list complete. It was decided to meet again on Monday night at' 8 o'clock. PR SR APPLAUSE IN LATIN QUARTER. A rousing Republican meeting was held last night at Washington Square Hall on Green street. The hall was packed to the doors and the many candidates who spoke were received with much applause. Two candidates for Superior Judge, Kerrigan and Burchard, spoke and were greeted warmly, especially Kerrigan. The speakers urged the voters to cast their ballots for the straight Republican ticket on Tuesday next. The mention of Roosevelt's name evoked applause that lasted for several minutes. Following the speeches of the judi- cial nominees came Julius Kahn, can- didate for Congressman. Kahn made a brilliant speech and the warmth with which it was received augurs well for his election. Other candi- dates made speeches, each at differ- ent meetings, last night and there was a continual string of them on the platform at Washington Square Hall. Louis Strohl, candidate for the State Assembly, and John H. Nelson, candi- date for State Senator, spoke at length and dwelt on the advisability of elect- ing Republican candidates next Tues- day. All of the speakers urged the election of Roosevelt. There was plenty of music and a good evening was enjoyed by all who attended. —_—————— A Guaranteed Cure for Piles.

The Democrats immediately made a denial that Parker ever owned any trust stock. Governor Odell said to-day: “I know that Judge Parker has $5000 worth of United States Ship- building stock. I happen to know it because he came to me himself and asked me to let him have it. I know he got it because I instructed my agent to give it to him, and he paid for it. If there is any doubt about the reliability of this statement I will in ten- hours—yes, in less time than that—as soon as I get to Newburg, produce the documents that will show for themselves. “I know that Judge Parker had stock in the United States Steel Cor- poration. If there is any doubt about that I'll furnish the documents. I ‘can do it in fifteen minutes after I get to Newburg. Any man who at- tacks another for belnt connected with trusts should come into court with clean hands. All Theodore Roosevelt ever did in connection with the trusts was to bring them up with a short turn whenever possible. Hon- esty always wins. Roosevelt has 100 per cent in his make-up.” ‘nn” NEWARK, N.J., Nov. 4- th ot bute to the strength fmd er. the first voter, former Presi Cleveland in Newark to-n his second speech of the pr- paign. He waited ten minu °x cessation of the cheering and his appearance brought fort thirty-five minutes after he begu.n His noise th address 8000 persons, crowded together| on the tanbark of a riding academy, alternately listened and cheered. The occasion was the closing Democratic rally of the campaign, a rally under the auspices of a club of “first voters.” Mr. Cleveland was the permanent chairman. On Mr. Cleveland’s appearance on the platform cheer after cheer rolled from one end of the armory to the other. Men stood on chairs twirling hats on canes, women' waved handkerchiefs and clapped their hands, while patriotic airs from a band could not be heard. For ten minutes the former President stood bowing and smiling in acknowl- edgment and repeatedly attempted to address the crowd. A half-way quiet was then restored and the speech was begun, only to be interrupted by an- other outburst that lasted for three minutes more. It was only when the audience was drowned into silence by the hisses of those desirous of hearing the former President that Mr. Cleve- land could go on. This was Mr. Cleveland's first public appearance in this eampaign in his own State. During his speech Mr. Cleveland was interrupted by remarks of approval from enthusiastic listeners and on sev- eral occasions when he departed from his text to impress upon his hearers some point upon State issues, the dem- onstration broke out afresh and con- tinued for several minutes. The remarks of the speaker upon the needs of a conservative Government were received with an outburst almost equal to that at Mr. Cleveland’'s en- trance into the hall, and when he con- cluded with this appeal “that the American people may be aroused to their sense of justice by these senti- ments,” the audience was on its feet, while at the last words of the speaker rallying his hearers to the support of “that noble, than manly standard- “that noble, that manly standard- siasm seemed to gain renewed strength. Mr. Cleveland's speech follows: CONDEMNS HIGH TARIFF. It was twenty years ago almost to a day that I appeared before a Newark audience charged with the responsibility of my party's Presiden- tial candidacy. The Democratic platform in that campaign denounced the Republican party for having fatled to relieve the people from crushing war taxes and declared that unneces- sary taxation was unjust taxalion. This plat- form also promised that, If entrusted with the control of the Government ‘‘the Democracy would purify the administration from corrup- tion, restore economy, revive respect for law and re the tariff in a spiit of fairness to all intere: r In the contest of twenty years ago the tariff then existing was condemned because in and of itself, without accomplices or vicious asso- clates, it was guilty of despolling our people in their homes. Trusts and combinations did not then appear as its confederates. If they ex- isted at all, they were infant industries, too few and too young to be mentioned in the plat- form of eitHer of the great political plrflel, and too newly born to be the companio: of such other infant Industries as, though still unweaned, had actually grown' gray at the breasts of sinfully indulgent tariff protection. The multiplication of this new race of infan industries soon grew to be wonderfully in e: cess of all other birth rate records. In 1888 they had attracted attention emough to be de- nounced on both party platforms. The pre- cocity of these Infant prodigies ran far ahead of the most exuggerated imagination of parent- al pride. Before they were a day old they recognized in the policy of high protection the way to growth and strengthi and wealth. Though it is sometimes now said that the tarift has nothing to do with trusts, Mr. Havemeyer, the most competent of all men to give expert testimony on the subject, has declared ‘‘the tariff is the mother of trusts, and the trusts themselves were precocious enough to know this at the beginning of their infantile exist- ence. They know that tariff protection builds a high_wall around American industries which guards them against compelition or dis- turbances from abroad and they know that nothing prevents the raising of prices to the full height of this wall except competition among these industries themselves, resulting in the underselling of each other at home and within the fortified area of their operations. They know that this barrier standing between our consumers and the exaction of prices as high as the wall of tariff protection must be re- moved and the margin between prices as modi- fled by home competition and the prices attaln- able without such competition be under the con- trol of these industries if they were to enjoy to the fullest extent the fruits of Government favoritism. They knotw that home competition could be aliminated by such agreements among the industries intercsted as would regulate prices and production and concentrate manage- ment; but above all things they know that all devices would entirely fail to accomplish the result desired if any breach in the wall of protection against foreign Interference was permitted: and they know that the higher this wall was raised the greater would be the scope of their extortionate machinations. ATTACKS THE COMBINATIONS. Nor is it alone In this direct and palpable way that higner pretéction is an _essential factor in industrial combination. Those who manage these affairs take into account and consider as an asset of their undertaking the increased profits which must result when tarift protection is coupled with the suppression of home competition, and counting this as money in hand they are enabled to venture confidently upon the purchase of similar independent en- terprises at high valuations, pald in watered stocks, or to force thelr co-operation by threats of ruinous attack. “Schemes of this sort, secured against foreign interference by a protéctive tariff and shielded frcm domestic disturbance by covenants Joint participation and defense, when - summated and fully under way. enhance their profits by what is called economy in adminis- tmuon, which Is another phrase for consolida- tion of management, but which really means less work for many employes and laborers and the reduction of wages to the lowest ible limit. 1 have said that the higher the wall of protection was raised the larger was the o for the machinations of these trusts and com! Atter tumuhinx figures to show the ncrease in the number of trusts and zombinations under Republican pro- tective measures, Mr. Cleveland, con- flnuin:. said: ‘The protective policy which the Republican n- imposed upon the country and which rty in this campagn nolsily defends, not hing to do with trusts, b oo b, s il i b 1 T Tabt o lnlll fllllhlplmtmmryn{mmb. bing ‘marauders which vex and afflict our peo- ple’s life and demand tribute in every home of our land. ~They prices we shall pay dictate the &Mw‘-fi.mcmn“mmd thu habitat in which we live. We are within their from the cradle to the grave. In the Presidential campaign of 1884, Mr. Cleveland said, the people were not MAKES %TR@ 1 APPEAL ——— sr days, and the rate of tariff which the Democracy then ir2d as yielding more than suffi- venue for Government needs cerate as compared with pres- tions. 'F TAXATION INCREASE. - wweveland, continuing, said: I come again after twenty years. The rate of tariff tuxation has increased by one-fourth, the expenditure of the Government has more ¢han doubled; and hundreds of industrial trusts and combinations, the vicious progemy of ex- treme tariff protection, openly or stealthily search the pockets of our people. Again I use my words of twenty years ago, “The right of the Government to exact tribute from th citizen is limited by its exact necessities; and every cent taken from the people beyond that required for their protection by the Govern- ment {s no better than robbery."" As T repeat those words the question is fn my | mind whether the startling changes we con- template will add force and emphasis to this TAS sentiment which in 1584 was indorsed by our | countrymen, or whether with these changes another of deeper and sadder significance has | taken place in our people’s modes of thought and their conceptions of American sturdiness of citizenship; has the steady growth of public extravagance been 30 artfully concealed by glorification of their country’s progress that they no longer consider public frugality as a fundamental element in governmental duty which they cannot remit sither with safety to our institutions or justice to their own best interests? } Have our people been so misled by the glamor of unsound prosperity and so decefved | by the pretense that an exorbitant protective tariff in some mysterious way assures their happiness and easy existence that they are willing to accept a blind faith in a prosper- ity which the masses of our countrymen neither see nor feel, as against the tangible evidence supplied by increased cost of every necessity of life, enforced self-denial in every home and everywhere curtailed opportunity for remunerative employment? Has the pressure of trusts and monopolies become so familiar and have their pretense of benevolent purposes o deluded our people that they are willing abjectly to surrender their claims to equality before the law and to sup- port a policy which to their undoing makes these aggregations of riches and power more rich and powerful? Have the plafh people of our land—independent, proud Americans—so degenerated that they do not resent the hu- | miliating suggestion that those made rich | through unjust favoritism will care for them, | and are they content to rely on the tender mercies of such intermediaries as these, in- stead of the direct coneideration due them from their Government? Have our _people | reached such a state of listiess indifference | that they see nothing wrong in a scheme of tariff protection which supplies to foreign con- sumers articles of necessary use which are the work of American hands and American ingenuity at a cheaper rate than they can be purchased by American citizens? Are they willing for the sake of continuing this dis- crimination against themselves to perpetuate the policy which burdens them with protective tariff taxation? FIGHTING BATTLE OF PEOPLE. I will not believe that my countrymen are either willfully reckless of their natien's safety or heedless of thefr duty of eitizenship or insenstble to their rights and interests; - but whether they will hear or whether they will forbear I cannot refrain from urging upon them the especlal necessity at this time of sober reflection, and exhorting them to a du- tiful review of our mation's establishment, ths character of its- mission and its political plight. If this is honestly undertaken and if the exigencies of the hour are clearly seen and patriotically met, I shall not fear for the resvlt. Democracy, Mr. Cleveland said, is ~onservative, and a conservative Gov- ernment was never more needed than now. Democracy insists that the con- stitution should be the chart and con- stant guide of national conduct; and never was a renewal of obedience to constitutional commands more neces- sary. The Democratic party regards tariff charges as a tax upon the peo- ple justified only by the necessity of providing ' for the expenses of their Government; and it holds that, like all other taxes, these charges should be as equitably distributed as possible. It condemns tariftf legislation for the sole purpose of protection as an unavoida- ble source of inequality and favoritism and as promotive of oppressive indus- trial combinations; and so far as tariff duties imposed for revenue may increditably result in some degree of protection, it insists that this should be so arranged as to best subserve the general welfare. Continuing, Cleveland said: Our party makes no warfare upon the rich nor upon any legitimate enterprises. Its def- inition of American citizenship enough and just enough all _people—the rich and - the —and_all corporations and associations of capital, legitimately engaged in legitimate business. but it insists that the Government should in no way and by no device or abuse of its functions be accessory to the creation of vast combinations of industrial and business enterprises whose inevitable tendencies are to control wrongfully the cost of our pecple's Jiving and strangle independent and individual business effort. Equity before the law and ean cunity or aii define cardinal Democratie doc trine. Under this flag we fight the battle of the people. We seek to invest them again with the equality which is thefr right by virtue of American cltizenship and to restore to them equal opportunity, which is the right of American mankood. Following Mr. Clveland, former Comptroller of the Currency James H. Eckles of Chicago addressed the meet- ing. £ AR EE Sl e CLOSES HIS CAMPAIGN.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—Former Judge Parker’s active campaign will clese to-morrow ’\lght when he will meet the Demdcrats of Brooklyn at a reception to be held in the Kings County Democratic Club. His speak- ing programme is already at an end. He has no plans for further addresses and it is not likely that he will par- ticipate in any more political meetihgs. Upon his return from Connecticut to- day he went to his room at the Hotel Seville, attended to his correspondence and received a few calfers. Immediately after luncheon he took a walk with John D.

SAN JOSE, Nov. 4—With a parade, fireworks and the largest political meet ing ever held here the Republicans of San Jose and Santa Clara County greeted E. A. Hayes, candidate for Congress in this district, and United States Senator Perkins. From plat< forms on all the telegraph poles along the line of march and at stations up to the big electric tower red fire burned, From the top of the tower, 220 feef above the street, roman candles and skyrockets were discharged. The parade was composed of 200 Stan< ford students and their band, the speakers and prominent Republicans in carriages, the University of the Paaifio students with a band and the Hayesd Congressional Club. The marchers car< ried roman candles. At the Gardem Theater, where the mieeting was held, hundreds were turned away. Samuel G. Tompkins presided as chairman. E. A.

He said the Republican party - stood for prosperity and ad- vancement. Juat as the parade concluded the fire- works on top of the electric tower caught fire.
