Board gave crushing reasons to prove the
futility of electing directors who were con-
ditionally appointed In such manner by
the bosses that their hands were tied
The system of nominating schoolteacbers
was crime when one Thought of the fact
that parents in sending their children to
school resigned their guardianship in great
part to the teachers.
At present each director took bis turn TO
nominate protege. whom he dare not deny
under pain OF political pressure. Compe-
tency was by no means the standard meas
urcd by.
At present there were large number OF
teachers physically incapable of attending
10 their duties properly from i'll health.
Such persons should never have been APP
pointed.
But the directors had no personal option
In the matter.
The Non-Partisan nominees had among
them those who had fought against the pub
fishers textbook swindle. Had they not
stoutly fought against the scheme the peo-
pie would have had to paw $780, 600 charges
for the change. But the Mop Partisan can
didates saved them the bill in spite of the
easy opportunity TO fill their own pockets.
The education OF our children was per-
ha0s the most important duty we had to
look after, and, with Non-P arti san board
unhampered and free, that could best be
attended to.
Ex-senator Tom Kane. j. II. Simpson, T.
W. Burke and others met with emphatic
approval OF their arguments to show that
nothing but on-Partisan ticket was left

loundcred.

An Ovation Given TO the Congressman
From the Fifth District.
The new Wigwam was packed last even
ing with enthusiastic Republicans, who
gather ed to give grand reception to Con-
gresham Z. +. Loud. who has just re-
turned from tour of his district, where he
has been doing good work for the national
ballot Ga the stage were many prominent
representatives of the Republican party
After several songs by the Harrison Glee
Clnb George I. Bromley. chairman of the
evening, delivered a few humorous re-
marks. He said, referring to Harrison's
famous tile. that there was one thing about
ii and that was Ben never talked through
lis hat
The appearance nf Congressman Loud
was the occasion of a regular ovation.
After the cheers had subsidized Mr.. Loud
addressed the large audience on the issues
OF the national campaign.
He said there never was greater enthu-
siasm for the national Republican ticket In
California than at the present time. All
through the country large meetings were
being held, and the sentiment in favor Of
Harrison and the Mckinley bill indicated
that California would not fail on election
day TO array herself once more on the side
of the President.
Mr.. Loud then dwelt on the administra-
ton OF Harrison, and showed how the coun-
lily Ddu pIOsptteu uDueT niH. LIE speaker
had nc doubt that Harrison would be re-
turned to the White House. Mr.. Loud con-
cluded with few remarks relating to the
necessity of all Republicans standing to-
gether on election day as a unit for Benja-
min Harrison without regard to local issues.
Congressman William Williams of Iudi-
ana WAS intrOd uced. and for over an hour
entertained the audience with an exhaustive
discussion of the tariff question. With a
strong array Of facts and figures he upheld
the Mckinley bill, his statistics, gathered
from the most reliable sources, presenting
incon testabie proof that under Or election
laws the country had made its greatest
strides Congressman Williams scored the
Democratic party for their inconsistency
and reputation of the teachings Of the
great historic leaders of the Democracy.
An original song after the well-known
TIA ra rs boom de ay" air, rendered by the
Harrison Glee Club. brought the meeting to
a close.

Charles Ashton. the nominee of the Cit
liens Non-Partisan party for Auditor, Is
recognized as one of the most sterling gen.
tlemen in the city.
He is business man right through and
understands prefectly well the Importance
of the Office to which he aspires.
AS the future Watchdog of the Treas
ury" Mr.. Ashton would not only give that
general attic ntion to the matters within his
province which has been accorded by some
of his predecessors. but will bring to the
task conscientious endeavOr to reduce the
burdens Of citizens as far as possible This
an honest and unpledged Auditor is Ell
which may be applied to any claims which
seem clearly unjustifiabe.
How many such claims have been re-
jected by i. j. l.. Smiley, Mr.. Ashton's
rival. and the incumbent of the Aud
TORS chair? Mr. Smiley has also for
feited the trust Of citizens by adopting
trimming attitude.
Early in the campaign 7. J. /. Smiley, or
/. Judas l.. Smiley, as he has been called, &C
cepted nomination from the Non-PaTti-
sans, but at the same time was trafickiDg
with Kelly and Crimmins for the "Repub-
lieAn" nomination.
The NOD-Partisans, learning this, imme-
diately dropped the traitor and he was
taken into camp by the Republican" dive
bosses.
This is the man who proposes to run
against Charles Ashton with his unblem-
ished record as a private citizen and a bust
ness man, but voters will see 10 1t that Ash

street, near Sixth. shortly after IL o'clock
last night
His assailanf, Joseph 81. Barker. a
painter, living at Howard and Fourth
streets, was arrested aud booked at the new
City Hall station for assault with deadly
weapon.
Political differences are supposed to have
been the cause of the trouble.
Grace, who Is an old mining man, Is at
present engaged as a carpenter and builder.
He is prominently connected with the
United Labor party in this city and did
much toward the movement
Some time ago Barker. who Is connected
with the same party, alleged that Grace
had Incorporated funds belonging to

East night Grace and two friends entered
Conway's saloon and we're drinking at the

Barker approached his victim and de-

The first of a series of test elections was
held yesterday near the City Hall in the
booth located near the McAllister-street
entrance to the Registrars Office.
One hundred and ifty-seyen ballots were
taken In five hours aud half.
There were five compartments In the
polling booth. and every effort was made to
have the election genuine expression of
the feelings of the people,
No attempt was made on the part of any
one to stuff the ballOt-boX.
The idea was to ascertain definitely how
long an ordinary voter would want to make
his ballot complete.

vote under another name. took exactly

In the matter Of railroads he said that

Mr.. Harvey, the president of the evening,
first addressed the meeting and concluded
by introducing William s. Barnes, who
likened himself TO Ben Buffers widow. who
wanted something ana was not afraid 10
ask for it.
Judge James a. Campbell next spoke
briefly. Messages were received from Frank
MeQuad and William J. Blattner excusing
their nOn-appeaTance.
Wendell Easton spoke briefly to the effect
that if he was elected the affairs of the CITY
for the next two years would be satisfactorily

j. y. L. Wilson said he could speak frank
ly, because he was not soliciting votes, and
intimated that il was the duty of every Re-
publican to vote the ticket regardless Of the
names thereon.
He was followed by many others. but the
name OF Nike de Young was carefully
avoided by all.

1t must be borne in mind that this extra
ordinary test Is not being undertaken by
Registrar Brown for any idle purpose.
What he wants is to give his clerks sniff
cient information so that they can act on
election day and advise the boards in ,bs
various precincts, and it is desirable that
any cases that may be doubtful in anv
shape or form should be brought up, even
IL only hypothetical.
All questions of challenge on any ground
therefore are fair matters for consideration
and If any man thinks he will have a fair
ground on some technical point to obieet to
a vote from any man it would be a very
good idea for him TO test the matter before
the men who will be in charge of the
mock" election at the new City Hall from
now on till election day.
There were. OF course, yesterday some in
cidents OF more or less public interest. and
these are referred to below, but the main
point that was demonstrated was that the
new law will need some very considerable
revision. and that IL the law is to remain in
force, the municipal election will have TO b.
divorced from the general and held at an.
other date.

Found In the Bsv.

Yesterday alter noon about o'clock two
men found the body of u young boy half
buried in the mud at the Fremont-street
wharf.
The boys name was found to be Patsy
Murphy, II years OF age, and he lived with his
family at ~ Frederick street.
DE left home early last Thursday morn
Ing, presumably to so TO school, and went
down 10 the wharves instead, where he was
accustomed to spend his spare time, and
aceiden tally fell into the bay.
The theory of the police is that he either
fell through hole and was stunned or at
tempted 10 get into one of the rowbnats
tied there and missed his footing. The
body was taken to the Morgue and will
be taken for cared by the father.
