BUCKLEY IS OUT FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT.
He Tells All About His
Return and His
Schemes.
THE WISDOM OF A BOSS.
Is Simply Counseling Friends
Who Would Save City
and Party.
HTTMOR IN THE APPLICATION.
The Blind Boss Talks of His Proud
Record, His Friend Ralney and
His Enemies.
' Chris Buckley was so busy yesterday
afternoon doing politiks with politicians
that it was some time before he found a
chance to tell a Call reporter ia strong
phrases and in a kindly manner that he is
out of politics. The man s frankness and
sincerity were evidenced in his innocently
open but sightless eyes, his ready and de
cisive speech and manner, and his ready
words of protest and assertion that did not
leave prominent the diplomacy behind
them.
Just now, when the most dangerous boss
THIS IB A FICTTRE OF CHRISTOPHER A. BUCKLEY, WHO IS SEEKING TO RE-ESTABLISH HIS AUTHORITY AS THB DEMOCRATIC
LEADER OF SAN FRANCISCO.
L77ie above sketch was obtained at a special sitting given to a "Call" artist at the Occidental Club yesterday afternoon, and is the first good likeness of the Blind Boss obtained in ten years.]
that ever ruled, plundered and debauched
throughout a long career has come back
from exile and suddenly displayed a sur
prising strength that makes certain a large
return of power, his position is a very in
teresting and important thing to know.
Buclcley has surely seen a "resurrection,"
and he surely controls with all the skill
and strength of old a very large and grow
ing wing of the Democratic party. His
hand is boldly reaching out for the county
organization, for the Iroquois Club, for
the party in a^eneral, and even for present
enemies.
Can he grasp and hold the party? Ib he
likely to regain any large measure of
power in the City and State governments?
By unanimous consent Buckley has
been declared dead forever since he
fled from the Wallace Grand Jury after the
successful Suilivan and Dwyer revolution
in 1891. It has been believed generally
that Buckley's overthrow, repudiation and
execration were so thorough and complete
that he would never again even dare to
show his head. But within but a few days
he has appeared like a conquering hero
among a swarm of his old followers and in
the first round has narrowly missed cap
turing the general committee. He is rally
ing added forces to his side every day and
is opening a shrewd and vigorous cam
paign which is to conciliate enemies, take
political workers into camp, play on exist
ing political jealousies, appeal to political
ambitions and cleverly take advantage of
all the discontent that is the result of the
high tax levy and the conditions of the
City finances. The cooling of public indig
nation, the ready popular forgetfulness of
past things and the fickleness of the civic
virtue that expresses itself now and then
in great waves of reform are counted on to
lessen the resistance to ring power which
never abandons a persistent siege when it
does not hold the City.
The political futures of men, parties,
rings and bosses are uncertain, aud only
time will tell how well founded is the
sublime confidence the Buckley men have
suddenly displayed and how much will be
accomplished by the perfect and far-reach
ing organization that Buckley is now
rapidly effecting, and .by the shrewd
methods and manipulations of which
Buckley is a past master.
By one portion of the party Buckley is
welcomed back with joy unspeakable. His
old orderlies and influential lieutenants
like Peter F. Dunne, A. T. Spotts, J. C.
Nealon, Sam Newman, P. F. Dundon, J. J.
Maloney, Maurice Schruitt, Fleet M.
Strother, Thomas J. Glynn, Judge Levy,
J. J. Flynn, A. J. Clunie and a large num
ber of men equally well known have ral
lied about him with a fidelity that is
touching and which is reciprocated. The
old guard lacks only a lot of reorganize™,
who are now in the other camp being
cursed from the Occidental Club as in
erates and mountebanks.
Then there are "the boys" — those who
have not been given jobs by the other side.
They are rallying in all the districts with
mouths watering for municipal pap.
They already feel the sportsman's keen
thrill of joy at the prospect of the steam
Deer and the delightful war and turmoil of
Buckley ward politics.
To the other wing of the party Buckley
has risen like a grim and fearsome evil ap
parition. They acknowledge that he is
here and will attempt to stay, and will
desperately battle to keep the slimy arms
of the political octopus from successfully
enfolding the Democratic party. Buckley
and his cohorts will shrewdly and relent
lessly labor to weaken and capture the op
position forces, and therein lies another
uncertainty of the future. A very lartre
and a decent element of the party will
never surrender to Buckley, but what the
anti-Buckley organization will do and be
nobody can guesß just now.
8o whatever Chris Buckley may be
pleased to say ju3t now about himself and
the Democratic party is of interest. Per
haps there is a shade of injustice to Mr.
Buckley in the statement that he declares
himself "out of politics," but his political
latitude, longitude and course would be
hard to make out from hid own charts.
He is not going to be a boss again, he says.
He is not looking for political power,
and it couldn't be thrust upon him. He
admits that he has consented to counsel
with some worthy gentlemen about the
best interests of the City and how they
may be promoted by a united, harmonious
and successful Democratic party. Heisin
terested only in securing good government
for the City. He is merely consulting en
gineer to some of his political friends he
protests in effect. As nothing is done by
Buckley's friends just now without his ad
vice, and as his advice is followed with
fidelity and promptness, there is a slight
element of humor in Mr. Buckley's frank
and serious explanation.
Many men had counseled with Christo
pher Buckley yesterday afternoon when he
welcomed a Call reporter in the large
upper chamber of the magnificent Occi
dental Ciub building on Stockton street,
where visitors go for private consultation.
He showed no traces of the lack of health
which he has been confessing to. He rose
from a large leather upholstered chair as
one of his friends announced the visitor,
and he held a white, firm, open hand out
in his darkness for the interviewer to find
and grasp.
It is a pleasant and cordial welcome
which greets every caller on Mr. Buckley,
and they are pleasantly spoken, ready and
frank, though well and quickly chosen,
words which a caller hears. He displays
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1895.
the quiet graces of a gentleman well when
they are in order, and his winning man
ner and the contidence he is able to inspire
and sustain in those willing to be his
friends are one of the sources of his power
with men.
"For several years I have persistently
declined to be interviewed by newspaper
men because I found that the papers were
seldom willing to publish correctly and
entirely what I might say," he observed in
a prefatory way as he reseated himself and
turned toward the interviewer the open
sightless eyes that seemed ready for the
light.
Then he talked politics. He told a story
of how he came to lend a hand, denied
that he was going to abandon Ravenswood
for the City, drew comparisons between
the way he managed the party and the
City and the way they are managed
now, declared that Sam Rainey was his
true friend, eaid that taxes were griev
ously high, sniffed at the reorganizes, and
told of the plans of his friends to rescue
the City from incompetence and misman
agement, unite the party and put up a
royal ticket that the people would elect.
"Some months ago several friends of
mine held a meeting, which I was re
quested to attend to give them counsel
and advice, they having confidence in my
past," began Mr. Buckley, when askad for
his estimate of the condition and needs of
the local party organization. "During
that discussion we found the municipality
in a chaotic condition. We went over the
affairs of the past year and we found the
people groaning under a heavy burden of
taxation. I agreed to confer with these
gentlemen with a view to reorganizing
and if possible getting the party in the
condition it was in 1882.
"It was thought that if a ticket could be
gotten up that would give the people a
government like that from 1882 to 1885 it
would be the means of perpetuating the
Democratic party in control of the govern-
merit. "Last month I came to the City.
These gentlemen said that the general com
mittee had been called to elect a chairman,
and they asked my advice about it. I saw
no need for a chairman just now, but as
the issue was forced, they persuaded
James H. O'Brien to enter the contest
with the opposing forces, with the result
seen. It is now proposed to get all Demo
crats and people anxious for good govern
ment together, and put up a ticket that
must be successful.
"But as far as my part goes, I want it
distinctly understood that I am simply an
adviser. I would not take the leadership
if it were offered to me on a silver platter.
1 am not a member of this club, or of any
other club, nor of any committee, and I
will not be. I am not seeking political
power ana would not accept it. I will
give my advice when it is wanted, and will
not give it when it is not wanted."
This diplomatic and ingenious declara
tion was followed by a denial that he would
abandon Ravenswood.
"My interests are here," he said, "and I
alternate between the City ana Livermore.
Just now I am at the Baldwin with my
friend Charley Asher, one of the proprie
tors, but I have not established any nead
quarters or permanent residence there, and
I am not goinc to move my furniture from
Kavenswood."
This is how Mr. Buckley expressed his
opinion of the way the Democratic party
and the City have gone to the dogs since
he has been missed at the helm :
"In 1890, under what is called the 'Buck
ley regime,' the Democratic party polled
a\i average of 28,000 votes. In 1892 it
polled an average of 16,000 votes, and in
1894 19,000 votes. Now tho people must
judge of the management before and since.
Up to 1890 on a valuation of $230,000,000
the City was run with a tax hmft of $1.
Since then the valuation has been raised
to $300,000,000. the City's debts are unpaid
and the tax rate is now $2 25.
"There are a number of gentlemen in the
Democratic party who, if called together
to eive their views and regulate affairs,
could lay down a platform on which mu
nicipal affairs should be conducted that
would be approved by the people who
would elect a ticket pledged to that plat
form. The taxation here should not
exceed 75 cents and delegates to the Legis
lature could be pledged to a State limit of
50 cents, giving a total rate of $1 25. If the
Hon. Frank McCoppin, John H. Wise.
Fleet F. Strother, Colin M. Boyd, John H.
Russell and a few other gentlemen I could
name could be called in counsel and pre
pare such a platform and nominate men
to carry it out the City could be run within
the $1 limit. The economical administra
tion of public affairs is the absorbing topic
with everybody I meet and they are com
paring the government of a few years ago
with that of now. Then submit these
matters to the people and ask what they
are going to do about it. These people I
mention know the wants of the people and
know how to construct a platform.
"My ideas of municipal improvements?
Yes, I know there Is a desire for them anfl
a need of them. The wants of the City
are great. We need new sewers, better
streets, park improvements and other
things, but the people should be allowed
to decide what they want and when. In
all well-governed municipalities the peo
ple look for low taxation. If improve
ments are wanted why not submit to the
people the question of issuing bonds to
beautify and improve the City? Do not
crowd it all into the burden of taxa
tion. That is the way it is done in other
cities and the way it should be done here.
If all departments of the City government
were carried on in the way Ashworth car
ried on the work of the Street Department
from 1883 to 1885 there would be no diffi
culty about taxes or anything else."
Buckley had thus stated the theories
and grounds by which these gentlemen
are cleverely figuring with Buckley's
shrewd "counsel" in taking the tide at a
flood and riding back to power with the
master of political manipulation at the
helm. "Buck" knows the "people" and
human nature, and it illumines his
chance remark dropped during the inter
view, "I have been called a knave, but I
don't think I've ever been called a fool."
"The ultimate idea of these gentlemen, "
he declared, "is to go back and secure a
government like that under the regime I
mention. Their purpose is to unite tho
party and put np a ticket that will carry
out that policy and that will be elected
by the people."
The sightless boss, who was thus giving
readily of his wisdom within the bounds
of a ready discretion, didn't mind saying
something about the breach in the party.
It didn't seem to worry him much.
"Oh, •well, no matter how hard Demo
crats tight they will all get together in the
end and grind ont something beneficial.
The party is different from the Republi
can party in that way. As has been said,
the Democrats are like Kilkenny cats. No
matter how hard they fight, when the bat
tie is over there are no more cats. As to
the 'Reorganize^,' that element of the
party always opposed what was called the
'machine.' But their fears may be set to
rest, because I am not going to put up a
ticket. When demagogues want to ride
into power and secure the party for their
own purposes they always cry 'Buckley. 1
It's a bugaboo they always raise. Yes, I
suppose many doubt that the party can be
united, but they have not had my experi
ence in the past. Now and then dis
gruntled and disappointed fellows go off
and get up sideshows, but they seldom
amount to much. They always get to
gether again. Well, as to the way the
party has been managed lately, the people
ought to be able to judge of the adminis
trative abilities of Max Popper and some
others. They know about as much about
politics, in my estimation, as a shoemaker
does about making a watch. It is possible
that the trouble with the .party has been
that it lacked management. I have not
been in politics since July, 1891. and may
not be well informed.
"Rainey ? There's nothing in that story.
We are good friends. There has been a
lot of talk about Rainey and I and my
enmity to certain departments of the City
government and my seeking revenge. I
am not seeking a quarrel with anybody
and I don't intend to. Rainey and I are
as good friends as ever and always will be.
No, I don't think that Mr. Rainey took
any great interest in that contest'in the
eeneral committee. Every man has a
right to his own ideas and to put them into
effect, but Mr. Rainey and I never had
any differences and I don't think we will."
The man who can see a way so clearly
without eyes reverted again to the topic
which held a chief place in his heart
good government and good men.
"I think." he observed, "that when such
men as Stanton, La Rue, Dimond and
others do their duties well and do great
things for the people the press should ap
plaud them, regardless of party. If that
were done political leaders could get better
men in office.
"In 1882 the leaders of the party agreed
that I should prepare a ticket and platform.
John S. Hager was first proposed, but
Washington Bartlett was finally nomi
nated and elected. In that Board of Super
visors were John F. Sullivan, J. H. Smith,
E. B. Pond, Fleet F. Strother, J. B. Lewis,
Jefferson G. James, Thomas Ashworth and
others. I claim that another Board of
Supervisors of that character could be
secured."
Buckley had adroitly avoided snags, and
when the bearing of the local situation on
National politics was broached the topic
was dismissed with the remark, "There ia
a class of gentlemen in the Democratic
party who are always looking for higher
honors."
By this time the accumulation of gen
tlemen eager for counsel tending to the
ultimate interests of the City and the re
habilitation of the party had become an
impatient force, and when the affable
adieu came Buckley repeated that funny
protest by declaring: "The sayings of
politicians, the lashings of the press nor
anything els« can get me back into poli
tics. It is not the pleasantest occupation
in the world."
HAS BOUGHT THE JOURNAL
W. R. Hearst Purchases a
Well-Known One- Cent
New York Paper.
In Order to Start the Paper Fairly
He Sends for Western
Blood.
"Annie Laurie" (Mrs. Black), Homer
Davenport, newspaper artist, and Charles
Dryden, special writer, left on the over
land train last evening to rill places on W.
R. Hearst's New York paper. The three
know absolutely nothing of what is ex
pected of them or how long they are to be
gone. They were simply wired to leave for
New York in twenty-four hours. They
tilled the engagement up to 6 o'clock last
evening by appearing on time at the ferry
with their grips and tickets.
The locai newspaper world is agog
over Mr. Hearst's new venture. He has
taken no one into his confidence here. His
confidential agents here have not the
slightest inkling of the name of the paper
he has bought or what he purposes doing
with it. For some months past, however,
the rumor has been current that he was
resolutely raking over the New York news
paper field with a big checkbook. Two
weeks ago S. 8. Chamberlain, managing
editor of tne Examiner, was called East.
Since then, for some reason, all news
paperdom has become confident that "Mr.
Hearst has bought a New York paper."
How long the three will be gone is not
known, but two of them expect to be back
in a couple of months. Their idea is that
they are wanted simply for several opcu
ing*"special featurss."
NEW YORK, Oct. 4.— A report was in
circulation to-day that the Morning Jour
nal had passed into new hands.
For some time past William R.Hearst,
son of the late Senator George Hearst and
proprietor of the San Francisco Examiner,
during a stay in this city, has been nego
tiating with John R. McLean for the pur
chase of the Journal, and it now seems
probable that this will be accomplished In
a few days. Mr. Hearst said to-night at
the Hoffman Houso that nothing had been
settled in regard to the matter, but that he
hoped for a satisfactory outcome.
A representative of Mr. Hearst was en
gaged last night in examining the Journal
office account*.
NEW YORK, N. V., Oct. 4.— The Times
says: The report of the sale of the Morn
ing Journal of this city to William R.
Hearst, proprietor of the San Francisco
Examiner, is confirmed by Mr. Allen, the
New York correspondent of the Examiner.
There is excellent authority for saying that'
Mr. Hearst will take possession 01 his new
property some time next week.
He is now in this city and is accom
panied by tne managing editor of his San
Francisco paper, 8. S. Chamberlain. The
Morning Journal will retain its present
name, for a time at least, and its price will
remain at 1 cent. But many changes in
its management and its features will
probably be made soon.
The Journal was purchased some weeks
ago by John R. McLean from its founder,
Albert Pulitzer.
LEGALITY OP THE TAX LEVY.
Tho Supreme Court IXear the
Matter on November 4.
The Supreme Court, at the instigation of
Mayor Sutro and President Truman of the
Civic Federation, has issued an alternative
writ of mandate directing the Board
of Supervisors to Buspend proceed
ings under the tax lew. The writ is re
turnable on Monday, November 4. This is
to determine whether the tax levy can be
fixed without the approval of the Mayor.
While this hearing is pending taxes will
become due, and it is anticipated that the
money will be paid to the Collector under
protest.

YOUNG LADY KIDNAPED
Police Looking for the Daugh
ter of the Los Angeles
Creek Consul.
Rangod and a Woman Called Ada
line Le Page Accused of the
Crime.
Chief Crowley and his trusted lieuten«
ants are searching the City over for E<J
ward L. Rangod who, through the assist
ance of a girl, Adaline Le Page, abducted
Adrienne Pavlides, daughter of Dr. D.
PavHdes, formerly Greek Consul, with
headquarters in this City, but now sta
tioned at Lot Angeles.
Nearly seventeen days ago the Le Page
woman, who was working as a servant in
the house of Dr. Pavlides, induced Ad
rienne to take a walk and that was the last
seen of them. Rangod, who was known
to be related in some way to Dr. Pavlides 1
servant, had also been most persistent iv
his attention to the thirteen-year-old
daughter of the Greek Consul. With the
disappearance of the two women Rangod
also dropped from sight, and Dr. Pavlides
at once concluded that tney had forcibly
taken liis child away.
For days he could find no trace of the
parties, though every police officer on the
coast wa» promptly notified of the abduc
tion. Thursday Dr. Pavlides received in
formation which led him to believe that
his daughter, with Rangod and Adaline
Le Page, were aboard the steamer Mexico
bound for this port. Chief Crowley, who,
in the meantime had been furnished with
pictures of the abductors, and also one of
the young girl, was immediately notified
to meet the Mexico and arrest them, war
rants having been sent him from Los An
geles several days ago.
The Mexico came into port yesterday
morning, reaching her dock at 8 :45. De
tective Anthony was on hand and also J.
Chamon de St. Hubert, who knew the
girl Adrienne when she lived in San Fran
cisco. A3 each passenger came ashore they
were subjected to careful scrutiny, and
when any evidenceof disguise existed they
were required to tell who they were anil
where they were from. The much-wanted
parties were not aboard, and the captain of
the steamer assured Detective Anthony
the| never had been.
It is believed by the police that Ranged
and the Le Page woman have slipped the
girl into the City under a careful disguise
and that the trio are now in hiding.
Adrienne Pavlides is only 13 years old,
though she could readily pass for 18 or
more. This difference In age and appear
ance is, according to the police, likely to
prove confusing if nothing more. *Dr.
Pavlides is well known in San Francisco,
his position as Greek Consul bringing him
in close touch with many of the most
prominent business people in the City.
