With the new year the benevolent
work of the Kings Daughters has been
thoroughly re-organized in the hope of
bringing about better results. The city
has been districted according to the
system employed by associated charities
iii larger cities, and the care of one dis
trict has been assigned each member of
the committee.
All persons making applicat ion for aid
are requested, so far possible, to apply
to the member within whose district the
| family lives, but when this is not prac-
| ticable, the application can be left at the
reading-room with Miss Lille A. Belcher,
the chairman of the benevolent COM
mittee.
The present committee emphasizes
what its predecessors have said: That no
anonymous applications will be consid
cred under any circumstances, and that
no new applicants will be helped until
they have been visited, except in an emer-
| gency, in which case the recommended
ton OF some responsible person, known
| to one or more OF the committees may be
accepted.
From time to time word has come to
the society that persons have represented
hat they were formerly hslped by the
Kings Daughters, but that the help was
afterward Withdrawn on account OF the
limited resources of the society. Far be
1t from he Kings Daughters to says that
these persons are unworthy Of the aid
they may have received elsew here, but
the facts are that no worthy family hav-
ing once applied, was ever disc harged by
the society.
Sometimes the clothing especially
needed has not been at hand, but the
committee has done the best it could to
relieve immediate distress, and has for
warded the necessary articles as soon as
they could be obtained.
For obvious reasons the work of the
benevolent committee has been carried
on ~ quietly as possible, but the books
are al"ays at the reading room, and any
one no has good reason for doing so is
cord iaIIy invited to examine them.
As heretofore the Kings Daughters viii
be very glad to have the name of any de-
serving family in need of help, sent to
them, ana would also ask all persons who
are in sympathy with he work to send to
tn" readiHE-room any articles W hich they
care to dispose of, and in other ways to
unite With the benevolent committee to
have a Mcll-eondueted charity in our

The San Francisco call., 1896-05-07

Convent a. Representative


of the convention that George A. Knight,
proxy from Butte, was to create sensa-
ton by leading a fight for an instructed
delegation, and that Taylor and Ruef
(proxy) of Alameda, were to make
speeches of protest against the report OF
the committee on credentials, and that
lively session would be the result.
The first mix-up occurred when the re-
port of the committee on credentials was
read but it did not last long-just long
enough to enable the chairman to request
the Ruef-Taylor delegation to retire from
their seats to make way for the set of
delegates elected at the Alameda prim-
aries.
The report of the committee was to the
following effect:
In favor of seating the delegates elected
at the Alameda County primaries.
| Against the contestants in Sacramento
County and in favor of the delegates reg
ularly appointed by the County Central
Committee. This is regarded as defeat
of the A. P. A. primary ticket
In favor of the delegation in the Fourth
Congressional District elected at the
! primaries held in that district April 15,
known as the County Committee delega-
ton.
Against the contestants in the Forty
first Assembly District of the Fifth Con-
gressional District and in favor of the reg
| ular primaries delegation.
Against the contestants in the Thirty
seventh of the Fifth and in favor of the
regular primary delegates.
In the Thirtv-third of the Fourth the
committee decided that the protest alleg-
ing acts of fraud by the contestants was
clearly proved, and recommending that
delegates to all conventions should be
elected at primaries or caucuses regularly
called by the Central Committee or County
Committee, and that none but such should
be seated at any of the conventions here
after.
Taylor of Alameda was on his feet in a
moment, and excitedly demanded that the
report should be taken UP seriatim.
The chair put the question and the noes
had it, but Ruef and Taylor demanded a
rollcall.
When Chairman Arthur announced that
he would grant the request for the call of
the roll Taylor clapped his hands and
shouted "Good boy !" with so much stem
torian earnestness that the convention
was convulsed with merriment.
The vote stood 81 ayes to AT noes, and a
| motion was made to adopt the report as q
whole.
Taylor took the platform and made a
vigorous plea in behalf of the appointed
He explained that these appointed dele
gates had been recognized by the State
Central Committee and the Third Con-
gressional District Convention. In fact,
they had assem- bled and elected district
delegates to the National Convention
They had chosen two delegates pledged to
William Mckinley, "and now," said Mr..
Taylor, ''you do not want the seats of
these Mckinley delegates at st. Louis
contested"
Taylor waxed eloquent and animated
He declared that the committee on Gre
dentials had seated the appointed dele
gates from Sacramento, and then, by an

unheard of process of reasoning, had
ousted the appointed delegation of Ala
media. He cried out: "Ohl consistency,
where is thy iewelry?" Laughter.
When the announcement was made
dozen delegates shouted at once for the
chairs recognition.
H. 1. Kowalsky, holding a Mendocino
proxy, came to the front with an ill-timed
speech, which aroused some resentment.
He began by saying:
''If this is a gag convention belonging to
one man want to say something. have
attended every Republican State Conven-
ton in California since became 81 years
of age. This time 1 came here as the
guest of Mendocino County. Laughter
l do not want carpet-baggers TO come here
and usurp the rights of others. There are
men on the Forty third District roll of
delegates which the report proposes to
seat that were never heard of before. And
such a committee of credentials never
before existed. Talk of lead pipe cinches
and the Dutch Justice of the Peace who
refused to hear but one side of case, and
you cannot get marker to the committee
on credentials"
Kowalskv's attack on the com mmittee was
resented by delegates in many parts of the
house. "Time'. was shouted and points
of order raised.
The chair ruled that Kowalsky could
not speak further without the consent of
the delegates, as there was no question be-
fore the house.
Kowalsky was then suppressed.
An appointed delegate from Alameda
tried to speak but Chairman Arthur ruled
that the primary delegates had been seated,
and, therefore, he could not be heard.
Meanwhile, the declared bona fi6e pri-
mary delegates, who were standing in a
group hard by, were invited to come and
get their seats.
Reluctantly the displaced appointed
delegates arose end filed outin the aisle,
Taylor leading the column. At the CEN
tral gateway leading from the convention
circle down the broad passageway to the
main pavilion entrance the outgoing dele
gates were hailed and greeted by the
turned-down machine gang of the Fourth
Congressional District of San Francisco.
A great uproar arose, which lasted for sew
eral minutes. Tom O'Brien, the clerk of
CampbelPs court, with a far.away, deep
down and all-night-up voice, hurled epi-
the convention. He shouted that the
delegates in their seats were the Malta
and the banditti OF California, who had
formed an A. P. A. council.
His parting roar was something like
''To hades with the A. P. A. and hurrah
for Mckinley"
O'Brien was at length compelled to move
on with the rest OF the machine. Order
was then restored and the business of the
convention proceeded.
! The reading of the report of the comm it.
tee on platform and resolutions by Frank
L. Coombs was attentively listened to and
greeted with applause. All the planks
were cheered, but the one on the free coin
age of silver evoked the greatest enthu-
| sasm.
The following is the platform in full:

to the fact that the committees sat up
after midnight last night, and that the
committee on credentials did not con-
clude its labors until after o'clock this
morning, the delegates were slow in

The Rest.

1t has long been a moot point whether
single or married men make the best
soldiers. Some maintain that the lack
Of wife and family tends to make man
more reckless of his life, therefore a
good soldier. Others say that the mar.
ried man Is almost a veteran when he
enters the ranks, being Injured to com.
bat, therefore good soldier. In the
recent Tunlsian campaign French
colonel was questioned upon this point.
Both are right" said he. "Look yon-
der. Do you see that battalion of hap
py, devil-may-care fellows? They are
all single men, and they would take
their lives in their hands. But look
again. Do you see those taclturn, SOM
bre, gloomy-looking men there? They
are all married, and in a hand-to-hand
light they are terrors." 'What Is the
uame of the battalionf" asked the en-
quirer. "They are called" said the
Colonel, gravely, THE Children of De-
spair."
