Decoration day of soldiers

"Gov. r. b. Hubbard's address,
though brief and impromptu, was
the best we have heard from his lips
IN many year-full of pathos,
abounding in eloquence, fitting the
occasion and overfiOwing with
patriotism. To hear him was to learn
not only to cherish the memory OF
our dead and the history OF our
grand and glorious past, but to love
the present, and to build high and
strong hopes for the future of our
country, north and south, east and
west.

CLEVELAND SPEAKS.
Gives HIS idea of the Democratic SItu-
stIOn-CsnnOt Believe That the Party
VIII Declare For Free Silver.

WASHINGTON, June lin reply
to a request from the New York
Herald for a statement concerning
the democratic situation, President
Cleveland tonight sent the following
to that newspaper:
81 have made no figures as TO the
probable action of delegates already
chosen or to be chosen to the Demo
cratic national convention, but l
refuse to believe that when the time
arrives for deliberate action there
will be engrafted upon our demo-
cratic creed a demand for the free,
unlimited and independent coinage
of silver. l cannot believe this be.
cause know the democratic party
is neither unpatriotic nor foolish,
and because it seems so clear to me
that such a course will inflict a very
great injury upon every interest of
our country, which it has been the
mission of democracy to advance,
and will result in lasting disaster to
our party organization.
"There is little hope that, as a
means of success, this free silver
proposition, after it's thorough dis
cussion during a political campaign,
will attract majority of the votes
of the country. 1t must be that
many of the illusions influencing
those now relying upon this alleged
panacea for their ills, will be dis
PEELED before the time comes for
them to cast their ballots which will
express their sober second thought.
THE adoption by the democracy
of this proposition would, 1 believe,
give our opponents an advantage
both in the present and future which
they do not deserve.
my attachments to true demo-
cracy is so strong that / consider its
success as identical with the pro-
motion of the country's good. This
ought sufficiently to account for my
anxiety that no mistake be made at
our party convention. In my opinion,
no effort should be spared to secure
such action of the delegates as will
avert party decentralization.
cit is a place for consultation and
comparison or views; and those
democrats who believe in the cause
of sound money should there be
heard land be constantly in evidence
A cause worth fighting for is worth
fighting for to the end. If sound
money democrats fail in their sup
port there is danger of a mistake
being made. Such danger should
stimulate their activity in averting
it instead of creating discourage
ment. l am very far from arrogat-
/ ing to myself a controlling influence
upon the policy of the party; but as
an unflinching democrat, who has
been honored by his party, and who
desires hereafter no greater political
privileges than to occupy the place
of private in the ranks, l hope | may
not be blamed for saying this much
at this time, in the interest, as il
seems to me, of the grand old organ
| ization, so rich in honorable tradi-
tions, SO Justly proud of it's achieve
ments, and always so undaunted and
| brave in its battles for the peoples
welfare. F."

Doroughty then Of Pennsylvania,
who placed Hancock in nomination
for president in 1850. He wrote:
"Gov. Hubbard's speech in the
national convention, seconding the
nomination of Gen. Hancock for
president, was one OF the most
thrilling and eloquent ever listened

INJURED CELEBRATERS.
Quite a Number of Men and

Victims From the Noise.
Makers.

The doctors at the Receiving Hogpital
were, as usual, kept busy all day yester-
day attending to men and boys who had
been injured through the careless use of
firecrackers. Fortunately none OF the
cases were serious.
The first to arrive was F. Griffin, 81 Oak
street, few minutes before 10 O'Clock.
He had powder burns on his face, caused
by the premature explosion of a cracker.
William McNamee, Fifth street, had
powder burns in his eyes from a similar
cause. Robert Miller boy, living at 225
Tehama street, was using toy pistol and
it exploded too soon and wounded his lett
hand.
In the afternoon Laser Blum, boy
living at Grove street, held firecracker
too long in his left hand, which was
burned. Harry McGlautiin, 600 Minna
street, had his eyes and face filled with
burned powder through the premature
explosion of a "redhead," and Fred
Smith, boy living at 1927 Mission street,
was ia q similar predicament.
Last night Willie Brown, boy living at
613 Mission street, was loading q cannon
when it exploded and burned his hands,
face and legs. George Connors boy liv-
ing at 1410 Kearny street. picked up a
bomb from the street and it exploded
burning pOIn MS haHuS. Jonn McOon-
aid, boy living at sos Noe street, had
both of his eyes burned by the premature
explosion of a frecracker. Ephraim
Wade, a boy living at 414 Turk street, was
burned about the face and eyes by the
premature explosion of a toy cannon.
w. Murphy, lad living at 7Y9 Clemen-
tina street, was sent to the Receiving Hos
pitai suffering from badly burned arm,
caused by the premature explosion of a
toy cannon.
P Harvey, q youngster living at 1016
Folsom street, while examining a large
firecracker to see if it was lighted suddenly
discovered that it was. The boy was sent
to the hospital for treatment for badly
powder burned face and eyes.

WAR OF The MINT MEN.
Anti Raineyites Will Demand
the designations of Fed
eral Troops.
Forty of Uncle Sans Men Are Now
Influential Tools of Bosses
in the Machine.

The official orders from the Secretary OF
the Treasury placing within the protection
and under the penalties of the ciyil-service
law the employees of the Mint and nearly
all the employees of other Federal depart
ments not heretofore in the classified SER
vice are expected here during this week.
Among the Democratic politicians the
removal o; a small army of political work
ers from the battlefield is the phase of the
civil service business of the most interest.
1t is of special interest to the opponents of
Daggett and Rainey in the Junta organi-
zation, and it is now proposed by Samuel
Braunbart, R. L. Mann and other anti
Raineyites to force some forty Federal en-
ployes to resign from the General Commit
tee and to cease displaying offensive parti-
sanship.
Nearly all the Federal employees are
politicians. They got their jobs, as rule,
by being politicians. This is especially
the case in the Mint. Daggett's local ap-
pointments have been made to help HIM
self and Sam control the machine and op-
crate it. The men he has put into places
have nearly all been men of active influ-
ence in their districts, and small army
of Mint employees are now members of the

crowded into every available shady nook.
fiutter of excitement was caused when
the heroes OF the racquet crossed the court
on their way to the dressing-room, and
their appearance was the signal for most
reckless gam bling.
One charming enthusiast announced
trlumphantly to party of her young lady
friends that she was willing to bet a box
OF candy against Queen Charlotte. Her
offer was hesitatingly taken up by COM
panlon, and then they set about picking
their men. Four times they swapped
champions, odds always remaining the
same, and then the challenger, because
the man she thought the best looking was
not the one she thought would win, de-
clared the bet off: She explained that she
knew it was wrong to bet, but it made the
game so much more exciting.
At the outset of the final it looked as if
Whitney was going to stampede Hardy.
George Whitney, like his brother Rob, has
a wicked way of driving the balls, hard
and swift, just over the top of the set, ana
even as adroit player as Sam Hardy
doesn't fancy that sort of thing.
For a while Whitney's drives were very
effective, but he couldn't hold himself to-
gether properly. Hardy apparently sized
him up after The first two or three games,
and he commenced playing rapidly.
Whitney was soon in distress, and before
the first set was over he was tired and dis
couraged. He made game fight, how
ever, and showed conclusively that when
experience has taught him to keep his
nerves steady he will be dangerous rival
for any player.
Toward the last of the match he made a
final stand and some brilliant playing re-
suited. Hardy's remarkable nerve and
precision, however, always stood him we'll
in hand in rally, and by one of the
cleverest strokes in the tournament he
won the final game and became the
champion.
George Whitney, the "runner-up," re-
ceived handsome cut glass pitcher
valued at $50. as the reward for being
second in the tournament. Hardy received
a Columbia bicycle.

evening and participated in q grand

Junta General Committee, voting and in.
fuencing others in the interest of Daggett
and Rainey.
A chance to remove this strong element
from the organization seems to have ap-
peared, and war to that end has been de-
clared. 1t is proposed, for one thing, to
have the campaign committee demand
the resignation of Federal employees. An
other weapon will be the threat that if
these men do not resign and keep out of
factional fights and quit working for polit-
icai bosses they will be complained of to
the Civil Service Commission and their
jobs put in jeopardy.
If these removals are accomplished the
voting strength of the Rainey-Daggett
faction will not be changed much, because
in districts where that faction is in control
friends would be elected to the vacancies.
but what would be accomplished would be
the weakening of the Rainey-Daggett side
by the removal from the committee of in
fuential men who are directly controlled
and who directly exercise their influence.
Among the Federal employees in the
General Committee are many friends of
the anti-Rainey element, but the great
majority are Rainey-Daggett workers and
twenty three have jobs in the Mint. The
following is nearly complete list of Fed
eraI employees in the Junta General Com
mittee who will go into the classified SER
vice under Cieveland's recent order:

this time, but it is safe to assert that never
in the history of the City were so many
human beings crammed into a car as they
were last evening. The proverbial sardipe
simile would be poor comparison.
Men and women clung to the seats, the
ratings, to each other and anything else
on which they could lay hold Bows
crowded in between their elders feet and
hung on like monkeys. Even the roofs of
the cars were made to do service as seats
for these youthful Americans. They
dropped bunches of frecrackers all along
the track and many kept discharging re-
yolvers loaded with blank cartridges.
At the scene of the fireworks much of
the brilliancy of the spectacle was OBJ
scured by thick fog. So dense was it
that at short distance the electric lights
cleaned like stars, the poles being invisi-
BILE.
Still, the spectacle was full of grandeur.
As the fiery rockets wormed their sinuous
way into the air, the bombs rose to a
height and burst 10 pieces, the great pin
wheels pirouetted and cast off myriads of
sparks and the Roman candles cast their
varl-colored globes of fame hitner and
th1ther, the vast human assembIage would
rend the air with cheer on cheer. The fog
dampened everything but the peoples
ardor.
The most excellent features of the
evening were the representation upon wire
frames of the faces of revolutionary
patriots, the liberty bell and stirring his
toric American scenes.
About half-past 8 o'clock the Haight-
street cable snapped and rendered it use
less till very late. Everybody was obliged
TO walk good distance to catch other
lines and get back to town.
Thus ended the celebration of the natal
day of the Nation. The old-timers unani-
mously admit that it was the liveliest they
have seen in many years.

platform sat the Goddess OF Liberty and

offspring. in company with the officers
and committee members of the ceIebra-
ton.
A medley of national airs comprised the
overture, which was rendered with all the
high ability at command of the Tivoli Or
chestra.
Rabbi Voorsanger followed with a
prayer, whose appositeness and eloquence
evoked the unexpected and unique dis
tinction of applause.
Twenty lady soloists sang the tStar
Spangled Banner with fine effect under
the direction of John w. Mckenzie Jr.
Included in this selected chorus were the
following:

Samuel L. Lent, president of the day, in
his brief address thanked the audience for
their attendance, the citizens for their lib
erality and patriotism in aiding to make
the celebration a success and the various
subcommittee for their onerous and
faithfully performed labors.
In introducing John r. Robinson, an
aged and silver-haired gentleman who had
evidently passed the Biblical limit of three
score and ten, President Lent announced
that the reader of the Declaration of
Independence was son of Revolution
ary officer, Noel Robinson, and gave
brief biographical history of the latter, in.
cluding his war record. Mr.. Robinson's s
reading had all the patriotic fervor that
was TO be expected from the descendant of
one who bad by the prowess of his arm
aided to make that famous propaganda of
the colonies the beacon light of freedom
loving people throughout the world for
the past 100 years.
The poem composed for the occasion by
Louis A. Robertson was read with dra-
matte effect by Professor f. Knowlton.
The president of the day stated that out of
139 poems submitted to the literary COM
mittee the one by Louis A. Robertson had
been unanimously selected as undoubtedly
possessing the most merit.
Professor Knowlton's advance to the
front of the platform was greeted with APP
plause.

preface to the reading of my poem let me
state that there is one peculiar fact in con-
nection with the ages of the reader of the
Declaration OF Independence and of this
poem.

Receiving an affirmative nod he finished

the house shook with cheers and other

HYMN TO FREEDOM.

Boodbought, and yet the price freely paid,
AS many crimsoned battlefield could tell;
And thunder tread of war; and clash of blade,
And the glad changing birthsong of bell;
Then one bright torch that blazed the gloom.
AS Liberty leaped forth and sealed Expressions DOOM
The grit and grandeur men poured
Their blood to buy this priceless heritage;
They whose quick hands neer trifed with the sword,
Nor trembled when they signed the chartered page,
Sleep in the soil they saved, and yet they rise
And look on us to-day with stern demanding eyes,
What were it worth this brthright OF the free
If we, careless keepers of the trust,
The byword of a world. at last. should be?
Ye glibtongued sophsts! shall sabers rust?
Beware, ye Babel builders lest these towers
That climb to kiss the stars should fall when treason ower
What claim when in the scales of God
We throw the patriot prestige of the pastf
Our fathers blood, long silent in the sod,
Begins to mourn: Yea, though this day cast
Into the balance every deahless
That lights our sacred SCROLL what glory claim
If we, as watchers of a Nations fate
While all our skies above rainbow spanned
Forget the stealthy foe within gate,
And the broad, rugged creed our fathers planned;
What were it worth, this liberty we boast,
corrupton growth spread from
Such vain; the clay
That stood our bulwark oft against the foe,
Would rise to Its country from decay,
Did such deadly DER it grow;
But never shall its poisoned branches spread
Their blasting shade above the soil that holds such dead
What time a deadlier devastating blight
Than this, any country knew,
Dared lift its ghastly features the light,
million blades round Freedoms banner drew;
And now should treason with all it's hordes
The nsensate grass tread would glisten into swords
So slumber on We brave and have no fear;
We stand beside wetchfres, and our eyes,
Fixed on Gods changeless stars, see shining clear
The light that saves. Yea, shall realize
The Unframed fabric of your morning dream,
And clasp the captured grail guide with its geam.
For as our fathers did, we trust in Thee
Great God of nations and we rest
Our eyes behold across Times troubous
Pharos flaming high above the
OF battling tempest and of changing tide,
Triumphat type that tells OF wrecking storms defed
