THEY FEEL WELL.
Republicans Pleased With
the Outlook.
GOOD NEWS CHEERS THEM.
The State Ticket Continues to
Forge Ahead.
NON - PARTISANS ARE ACTIVE.
Their Work Goes Forward in the
City— Clunie and Dwyer Ad
dress Democrats.
New detachments of speakers are being
sent out by the Republican State Central
Committee and the vigor of the campaign
will increase as the election approaches.
The orat.rs are meeting with such splen
did receptions throughout the State that
they do not much object to the work inci
dent to a stumping tour, and they continue
to send in the most flattering reports of the
progress that is being made.
Within the past two weeks the prospect?
of the Republican party have materially
improved. There has never been any
doubt that Estee would be elected, but up
to two weeks ago the Democrats were
making a great hurrah for Budd, and some
people were deceived by the noise into the
belief that the buckboard politician was
making some headway. But the reports
of the Budd ovations have been shown to
have been exaggerations and a careful
survey of the field has demonstcated
Estee 's real strength. Colonel Burns says
that he can feel victory in the air. The
correspondence he receives as secretary of
the State committee is full of nope. The
country is enthusiastic and there does not
seem to be a possibility of disaster to the
ticket.
George A. Knight and S. G. Millard,
candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, will
leave San Francisco to-morrow fcr a tour
into the country. They will speak at
.Benicia Monday night; Martinez, Tues
day; Oakland. Wednesday, and Sacra
mento Thursday. After that they go down
the San Joaquin Valley, speaking at all
the principal points. On the 27th inst.
they will return to San Francisco and
ep«»ak at Union Hall.
The Republicans will have a mass-meet
ing at Union Hall next Saturday night,
when Samuel M. Shortridge and others
will speak. On the Monday following
Harry Morehouse of Sau Jose and Judge
Daly of Ventura will make speeches at
Odd Fellows' Hall in this city.
In the city yesterday was a dull day
among the politicians. Registration at the
new City Hail was the only thing of im
portance going on. The Registrar's office
was crowded all day, and the registration
w_. heavier than on any preceding day.
The colonizers of the Forty-third came in
in troops. Most of them were Mahonev
men. The private detective realizes the
fact he has a despernti fight on bis hands,
and he is using a great deal of money in
his effort to override the popular will.
Whether it i . young Jessup's money he is
thus freely throwing about or whether
Colonel Burns is furnishing the funds for
bis bosom friend's tight is not known, but
it is certain that the money is being spent
with a lavish hand. But Mahoney's light
is considered to be hopeless. George Wil
liams and his friends are extremely ac
tive and they are developing great strength
Fouth. of Bush street. Every vote that
Williams gets weakens Mahoney and helps
Burke.
The Democrats expect to be able to pre
vent the voting of stutters in this district
as well as In the Twenty-eighth,
Twenty-ninth, Thirtieth, Forte-second,
Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth Assembly
districts. At the meeting held at the
new City Hall Friday night, an or
ganization was effected with Tom Healy
pre-ident and Tom E .gan , secretary. The
registration list will be systematically ex
amined and the districts named thoroughly
canvassed. The Election Commissioners
will then be requested to puree the roll of
al) Bluffers shown to have been registered.
It is thougnt thai this will dispose of alt
the staffer! though the colonizers may get
in their ballots.
The Non-Partisans were active yester
day. . Secretary Norcross repotted that
the work of the campaign committee was
prospering favorably. The committee is
receiving assurances of hearty support
from hundreds of source?. Business
men and property-)«vnf*rs are showing
that they are earnestly interested in the
Non-Partisan movement and propose to
make it a success.
The campaign committee of the Non
partisan party met last night at the head
quarters on Sutter street.
Messrs. Castle, Sanderson and Gerslle,
from the Sao Francisco . Non-Partisan
Club, called on thecommittee and report,
that the club was ready and anxious to
help in the work of the parly.;
On motion a committee was appointed to
meet representatives .of all Non-Partisan
clubs, and the representatives were re
quested to attend a meeting on Wednes
day evening.
Preparations were made to have repre
sentatives of the Citizens' Non-Partisan
party in all the districts to watch registra
tion and the voting on election day. Re
ports were received that in the lodging
house districts much stuffing was being
done, a list of a large number of stuflers
having already been secured. Means were
taken to bave them stricken from the
register. ;
The secretary reported that all the can
didates had signed the platform and
pledges.
A communication was received from J.
C. K. Ilobbs, nominee .for erv sor of
the Eleventh Ward, stating, that he had
indorsed the platform without any "if,"
was in favor of the plank on watT ques
tion, and thtt a published interview pur
porting to give his views was a mistake.
C. B. Perkins, who was chosen by the
Non-Partisan committee on Friday night
as the party nominee for School Director
to fill a vacancy on the ticket, is -a good
mau for the place. A lone residence in
this city has established for him a reputa
tion th it Is a guaranty that he will per
form the duties of the office efficiently and
faithfully. Mr. Perkins Is a dry-goods
merchant at 1114 Market street. He has
been president of the Epworth League,
and superintendent of the Simpson
Memorial Sobbath-scbool for years, and
commands the. respect or all who have
been associated with him. He ran on the
Non-Partisan ticket two years ago: and re
ceived a vote of over 14.000.
At Democratic headquarters very few
politicians were to be found yesterday.
Most of the prominent men baa gone
across the bay: to attend the barbecue at
San Lorenzo, and very little business was
transacted.
A club was formed yesterday afternoon
:at 1057 Mission street for the selection of I
candidates who, in the opinion of the \
members, will best serve -the interests nf I
the people. James McMenomey Jr. was
elected president James McKee, first vice
;president; Anizi Pence,;- second vice
president;- William J. Muni, secretary;
; James McMenomey Sr., treasurer; Charles
Manuion. sergeant-at-arms. The mem
bers, by a standing vote, pledged them
selves to work and vole for the candidates
selected by the club.
The -meeting then indorsed James H.
Budd for Governor and James G. Magulre
.for. Congressman from the Fourth District.

•' Who dare nay we wear the collar of a boss ?>'
night. The hall was net entirely filled,
there being plenty of vacant room upstairs.
It was not what might be termed an
ovation for the ex-boss and ex-Congress
man. The speakers found considerable
difficulty in warming to their task and the
audience did not go wild with enthusiasm
over what they said. A bonfire blaz-d at
the Fifth and Market streets corner and a
few brass instruments furnished music
to enliven the spirits of the faithful.
The stage was occupied by a large num
ber of candidate on the municipal and
legislative ticket. James G. Maguire
occupied a seat in the gallery and there
was a sprinkling of ladies among tne au
dience in the upper portion of the house.
After a spirited air by the band A. A.
Watkins called the meeting to order. He
said tbat he had beard that this was an
off year for the Democratic party. If the
gentlemen who were saying that had at
'ended tbe meetings ef the Democrats at
Union Hall and elsewhere fhey would
have concluded tbat the Democrats were
in it.
Mr. Watkins told of a Republican meet
ing which he had attended. There were
bankers and corporation men at the meet
ing. The Republican chairman had stated
that he was not like the Democrats. He
was nut ashamed of his friends. Looking
at the bankers and monopolists be .aid he
was not ashamed of them.
"Now standing here." said Mr. Watkins,
"looking over this vast audience of work
ingmen, I can say like my friend we are
not ashamed."
Chairman Watkins then spoke of Estee
and of Budd, and contrasted the two trad
ers, and spoke of tbe difference in the class
of the support at the back of each. The
good old Republican ship, he said, had
fallen into bad hands. The would-be
commander of the Republican party, Mr.
E-tee, was like the old seaman in W. S.
Gilbert's ballad. He was the cook, the
captain, the mute, the crew of tbe captain's
gig and everything else.
Mr. Watkins then introduced Joseph J.
Dwyer, who said that be had come not to
eulogize candidates, but to speak of prin
ciples. The principles at stake bad not
changed. It was the old, old contest, a
fight for the good things of this earth with
the monopolists on the one side and tbe
mas* of the people on the other.
Abraham Lincoln said at the close of the
war that the result of the war was that
corporations had been enthroned, and that
the wealth of the nation would pass int >
the hands of the lew. "If I had said that,"
said Mr. Dwver, "Mr. Huntington would
have said, 'give him sixty days, like
Coxey.' Abraham Lincoln seems to have
been a good prophet. He is at least good
Republican authority,, and he is good au
thority for me."
The mention of Lincoln's name was ap
plauded, and Mr. Dwyer said it was pleas
ant to see Democrats applaud that man. It
showed that they were not like the Re
publicans, who could accord nothing to
Democrats, and thought that no Demo
crats had a right to live in the country.
Speaking of Huntington and bit assr
ciaies the orator compared them to Dick
Turpin's gang. He said that the money
which Mr. Tun in had accumulated would
seem as nothing when stacked up against
the money made by Huntington and Ins
men, and if Mr. Turpln did not watch
closely while the comparison was being
made Mr. Huntington would get away
with both piles.
"Does any one mean to tell me," said
Mr. Dwyer. "that private ownership of
railroads Is better for the people than Gov
ernment ownership? If the Government
had owned tbe rair ad at the time of the
recent strike there would have been no
strike. Railroad* are not private enter
crises. hey are quasi public enterprises.
Let us make them entirely public. The
mismanagement of the Central Pacific has
exceeded all the defalcations in the Gov
ernment service since George Washing
ton's time down. Don't tell me that the
American people can't run a railroad.
They have done bigger jobs than that.
Let the President appoint such men as
Robert E. Patterson as directors. Couldn't
such meu run tne road as well for Uncle
Sam as they could for Uncle Collis? Give
California a transcontinental road and the
Nicaragua canal and she would take her
proper rank among the States of the
Union.
"There was a time when we bad an
aristocracy in this country an aristocracy
of virtue and patriotism. Now we have an
aristocracy of boodlers, with C. P. Hunt
ington as the shining light."
The last Congress had done more than
any Congress since' the war, Mr. Dwyer ;
said. He named the bills it had passed,
and when he said that it had repealed the I
McKinley. law the Democrats applauded, i
His reference to William L. Wilson awak
ened some enthusiasm, and the audience
approved his further defense of the Demo
cratic Congress.
Mr. Dwyei argued that the hard times
which have afflicted the country were not
due to a high i. riff or a low tariff. Panics
would come at intervals and were due to j
causes far removed from the ques lon of a i
tariff. He declared" that Bl.iine had op
posed the McKinley bill, and that the Re
publicans had ceased to argue the tariff.
"Who are the A. P. A.?" be asked.
"Orangemen," cried a voice.
"There is oDe Democrat here who is not |
afraid to call things by their right name," j
said the speaker. He then compared the |
A. P. A. to a viper, which imparted to its j
followers the power of darting poison, and
gave them forked tongues that they might
lie naturally. The A. P. A. was an Amer
ican Mafia. The Arizona Apache, who
shot down children around the cabins of
the miners, compared to the A. P. A. was
a gentleman. .
"Infatuated men! What do they think
they are fighting against?. ._ A few million
of their fellow-citizens whose religion does
not suit them? No; they are fighting
against the spirit of American liberty.
They are fighting against Valley Forge
and Bunker Hill, against Gettysburg and
the emancipation proclamation."
Mr. Dwyer closed by urging his hearers ;
to lei freedom be their.- guiding star, and j
with a carefully prepared peroration.
Chairman Watkins then m.id- another
little speech and introduced Thomas J. I
Clunie. > General Clunie began by. paving !
his compliments to the speakers at the Re- I
publican meeting last Thursday night, {
criticizing the utterances of George- A.
Knight particularly. When he came to
W. S. Barnes he said that, while he liked
Barnes, the young man had said nothing
that should lead anybody to vote the Re
publican ticket. He had c said: ... "1 am a
Republican by inclination and descent" ..
'Now," said Mr. Clunie, "he might have
left off the descent. I talked to his f t i.r
the other day. I had seen him in a box m
the Democratic convention. 1 couldn't
get to the box, i but when 1 met General
Barnes after the convention I said to him,
'Why, general, I was surprised to see you
at the Democratic convention.' 'Why,'
said he, T tel! you, Clunie, it was refresh
ing to see that convention after the con
vention r at ; Sacramento.' : -I*» talked . with
General Barnes; further and he said that
when a man like Burns could rule the Re
publican party .it was about time for him
, (Barnes) to quit. And he has quit, and
\ his son may leave out that part about his
Republican descent.",; -

lican nominee for Lieutenant-Governor,
styling him the "Palace-car Pioneer." He
touched on the A. P. A. question and
caught the plaudits of his hearers by de
nouncing any organization which did not
accord religious liberty to all.
Discussing the tariff and the provisions
of the McKinley and Wilson bills, General
Clunie said the San Francisco Chronicle,
which was now upholding the McKinley
act, wan formerly opposed to it, but since
i's editor bad. become a candidate for the
United States Senate he was bound to
subscribe to everything that was in the
Republican platform. "Before this editor
was a candidate his paper was g3od, but
now it is nothing.''
He eulogized James H. Budd — Jim
Budd, as he called bim— and declared that
the Democratic ticket was good. He
urged bis hearers to vote the ticket
straight, avoiding scratching, which only
weakened the cause.
The meeting closed with some rather
feeble cheering for Budd and the ticket.
WILL HAVE TO EXPLAIN.
A Candidate Whose Petition Is Off
Color.
At the Bitting of the Election Commis
sion yesterday Registrar Evans produced
the petitions of H. C. Firebaugh, indepen
dent candidate for State Senator from the
Twenty-second District, and.L. W. Coe,
nominee for the Assembly from the Forty
first District. He said that he was sure
many of the names signed to them were
forgeries, and refused to accept the peti
tions. lie said also that whoever had
made affidavit to the genuineness of the
signatures must bave been guilty of per
jury.
The commission decided to cite both
men to appear on Monday and explain.
In the meantime Firebaugh has agen's out
circulating another petition. He says that
it the names on tbe old one are fraudulent
he did not know it, and that they were
placed there by some one who is against
him.
Another effort was made to get the
Blt-nnerhassett piece club on the official
ticket under the name of the regular Non
partisans, and Surveyor Fitzhu.h, who
has no reason to love the .Son-Partisans,
moved that it be allowed, but the motion
was not even seconded.
Mayor Ellert repoited concerning the
effort of the Supervisors to get a judgment
on the water referendum question, that a
committee had called upon Judge Wallace,
the Supreme Court being now at Los
Angeles. While no direct judgment was
secured of course, it was learned that a
Missouri Supreme Court opinion ruled the
action as invalidating the ballot while an
Ouio opinion was exactly the other way.
Judge Wallace believed with the Missouri
opinion, and being asked toe direct ques
tion said that if be was an Election Com
missioner he would vote against putting
tbe question on the ballot.
No i ction was taken and probably none
will be.
Mr. Creswell submitted the following
letter which be had received from Judge
Seaweil:
My hear Mr. Creswell: As you are oue of
the Election Commissioners, it may not be im
proper for me to say to you that my decision
In the recent case of Ward- 11 vs. Dolau appears
to be misunderstood. I did not in that case In
tend that the candidates whom defendants pro
posed to nominate would he entitled to the
designation -Populist" upon the official ballot.
The only question before me was as io the right
of plaintiffs io an Injunction, which I refused
upon the ground that the right to use a party
name was not a property right within tue juris
diction of a court of equity. Yours, etc.
J. M. Sea well.

NO CLEWS FOUND.
Detectives Seem to Be on
a Cold Trail.
CAN'T LOCATE THE ROBBERS.
Officers Are Quietly Awaiting
Developments.
HOWEVER, SPECULATION IS RIFE.
Rumored Arrest of ••Colonel" Inman
in Connection With the Dar
ing Hold-Up. ; /.v.
Sacramento. Oct. 13. — The officers
have obtained uo clew as yet to the two
men who robbed the overland express
train on Thursday night near this city, or,
if they hare, they are keeping it to them
selves.
No arrests have been made, and so far
as can be learned no particular persons
are suspected. The detectives seem to be
quietly awaiting developments.
It seems to be pretty well settled that
the robbers did not go north along the
river nor south. They may ' have crossed
into this city, but if so they would most
certainly have been seen, as there were
several persons about the railroad bridge
at the time.
One thing is pretty certain, and that is
that no suspicious-looking ' person will
leave tne vicinity of Washington for some
time without being shadowed. The money
Is probably hear that village and buried
or secreted in some house.
There is a rumor here to-night that In
man, alias Carpenter, the colonel of the
Industrial Army of last spring, the man
who stole the funds of the army, has been
arrested In Woodland on suspicion. lo
nian was sent to jail here for his theft and
was released only a week ago. He has
served two or three terms in the State
orison. Woodland was asked by tele
phone at 11 r. m., but a uewspat er man
there replied that he bad heard of no such
arrest.
Officials of the Southern Pacific Com
pany and of Wells, Fargo & Co. declare
that no clew has been found to identify
the men wbo held up the train near Sacra
mento and robbed the express-car of
$.".•.,000.
Detective Hume of Wells, Fargo & Co.,
who went to Sacramento immediately
upon the robbery becoming known, has
summoned Detective Thacker from Los
Angeles to his assistance, and the South
ern Pacific detectives are bard at work
upon the case. _tf _fflfli_H
E. M. Cooper, manager of the Pacific de
partment of Wells, Fargo & Co., stated
yesterday that he was anxiously awaiting
further information, but tbat none had
arrived. As the gold stolen would weigh
200 pounds, it would not have been easy
for the two men who robbed the train to
have carried it away without assistance,
Ills believed that confederates waited
for them with a vehicle not far from the
scene of the robbery. At Fourth and
Towusend streets it is believed thai men
thrown out of employment by the strike
were guilty of the crime, as it is pointed
out' that only experienced railway men
could' have committed the robbery.
Whether the Southern Pacific officials sus
pect any particular individuals or not is
unknown, for they decline to make any
statement which would indicate such a
belief. It is known, however, that they
are keeping discharged employes under
surveillance, and that efforts to lay bare
the crime are being made in this city and
Oakland as well at at Sacramento.
WILL* SOON BE SETTLED.
Differences Between the Union
Pacific and the O. R. and N.
Portland, Or.. : Oct. 13.— The many
rumors published about serious differences
between the Union Pacific and the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company regard
ing a traffic agreement, according to offi
cials of both companies, have no founda
tion. I_£S__E_£_H
. In Omaha a report was started that the
Union Pacific Intended: to withdraw its
business from the O. R. and N. arid turn it
over to the Northern Pacific at Garrison,
Mont. The ridiculousness, of ibis st ry
was apparent, as tbe distance to this city
by way of Garrison is almost 500 miles
greater than by the O. R. and N. route.
Receiver McNeill of the O. R. and N.,
when interviewed to-day on the matter,
said:
"The public would appear to believe
that there is a wide difference between us
and the Short Line, and that this matter
would result in severing relations at Hunt
ington. There is nothing in it. Our busi
ness via Huntington is running along the
same as under the lease, and relations are
close and friendly, and at this moment
Mr. Lomax is on the ground establishing
general i Seen to woik over our line. We
fully recognize the importance of the
Short Line connection, and 1 guoss thay
know our value to them, and this me
would show the folly of such talk as has
been going the rounds." ;'
General Passenger Agent Lomax; of the"
Union Pacific, who is now here, said:
"There is not any fight between our ser
vices and the Navigation people. • We have
not yet come to an understanding with
them, but I think there; is no question but
that we will. The Navigation Company
going into ihe hands of a separate receiver
made it necessary for us to open up a new
freight and passenger office here- and
work for business.*'
Mr. L.max, in company with R W. Bax
ter, who has been appointed general agent
of. the Union Pacific on the coast, will es
tablish offices at Portland, Tacoma, Seat
tle and other important points.
Omaha, Nebr.r Oct. 13.— Two reports of
utmost importance to the interests of the
Union Pacific were Hied this afternoon
by Special Master- in- Chancery Cor
nish,' in 'the United States \. Cir
cuit Court for the District of
Nebraska, 'covering findings and recom
mendations -in the matter of non-paying
roads of the Union Pacific system. As to
the Carbon Cut-off Railroad he finds that
the operation of the property by receivers
resulted in a deficiency of earnings over
operating expenses. lie recommends that
the receivers be allowed to continue the
operation of > the : railway ;in connection
with the other paris of the system.

CARROLL'S HEIRS.
An Irish Representative Reaches
This City.
Patrick T. Malone of Queens County,
Ireland, is a truest of tne American Ex
change. Mr. Malone's 'visit is in connec
tion with the estate of the late James Car
roll of this c ty.
.' Mr. Malone's wife was a sister of Mr.
Carroll. There is a. brother, Patrick
O'Carroll of Dublin, and the two are near
est of Kin to tho late Mr. Carroll. - .
James Carroll came to California in
1849, when a lad of 17 year-. He amassed
quite a fortune, which was invested in real
estate, gas and other bonds.
By his will Mrs. Malone and Patrick
O'Carroll were each left . $52,000. The
greater portion _ of the property was b -
stowed upon various local charities.
* A legal firm .In this ciiy wrote to the
Irish heirs offering to contest the will.
They advised them that the will could be
easily broken and desired as a retalnlne
fee £800 or about $4000 in 'United States
money. Subsequently they, wrote offering
to take tbe case on c contingent fee.
In speaking. of this matter yesterday
Mr. Malone declared that the heirs would
not contest the will. .-J They did not desire
to do so. ■".-■ All that tbey asKed was the be
quests made in-. the will. They did not
propose that attorneys should violate the
dead man's 3 wishes or divide his estate
with legal charges. . ' ' _ :

Shoes. ~~~
Have you ever noticed one man succeed
and the other fail— one carried honest self-
praising merchandise that commanded a
reasonable price— the other sold sightly
but poor wearing stuff and at a like price.
Well our Shoe Department is a booming.
Why we increase the standard of our shoes,
put all the leather, style and work in the
price will stand— they wear and come
back. We know some reopie who did a
big business on the down grade. Shoes
getting poorer— trying to check the inevit-

Draperies.
Everything is founded on reason. One
merchant fails by reason of too much ex-

Our Drapery Department is located under

walls are frescoed, electric lights, but we
don't pay any. rent. if we didn't use it
