of the motives that govern the leaders of
the silver movement and the peculiar
change of heart of Senators Stewart and
Jones. He spoke in high terms of these
gentlemen, personally, but said the crisis
was too grave to follow them into the
field of their wild, financial experiments.
He concluded with an earnest and elo-
quent appeal to the laborers of San Fran
cisco.
Mr.. Kanaga told of the early manhood
of Mckinley and of his struggle for ad-
vancement. At his home his popularity
was greatest among the laboring people,
whose champion he had always been. In
fact, IL was the labor vote that repeatedly
elected him to Congress despite an occa-
sional gerrymander of his district by a
Democratic Legislature.
Mrs. Spencer graphically portrayed his
heroic self-sacrifice at the National Repub-
lican Convention of 1888, when he reso-
.futely declined proffered nomination for
the Presidency which his high sense of
honor would not permit him to ccept
when his State had instructed her delega-
ton for another.
Senator Ford closed the meeting with a
few timely remarks, informing the audi
ence that the clubrooms were always open
and extending a cordial invitation TO
those present to visit the cluprooms fire.

evening meetings of the club.
The meeting then adjourned with three
cheers for Mckinley and the Republican
party.

In the Thirty-irst Assembly District
there is comparatively newspolitical or

Organized scarcely six weeks ago it al
ready has membership of little over
300 voters nearly 25 per cent of whom are
reformed Democrats-mechanics and Ia

"One night we took in seventeen Demo-
Gratis. That was the best single haul
made" said President McCann yesterday.
"But we are getting the boys in right
along; first one will flop and then another.

dence of the apathy of the Democratic
campaign. One of the great initial plans
of the campaign has just slumped into
dismal failure.
Ten days ago the. speakers committee,
Chairman Afford and few other leaders
met and formed and announced the bril-
liant plan of having a great interior
opening" of the campaign. There were
to be mass-meetings on the evening of the
18th inst. at every county seat in the State
and several other important centers.
On that evening there was to be one
blaze of campaign enthusiasm from Sierra
to San Diego. At some sixty mass-meet-
ings an army OF orators and legions OF
Democratulists were to raise a glorious
chorus.
The committee has just four mass-meet-
ings arranged for the 18th inst. It hopes
to send out two more speakers on that
night.
Eugene N. Deuprey of San Francisco
will speak at Petaluma, w. P. Stradley OF
San Francisco at Salinas, Frank D. Nichol
of Stockton and G. C. Wright of Los
Angeles at San Bernardino. Stephen NJ.
White speaks at San Jose Friday evening,
and he may speak at Vallejo Saturday
night. Congressman Mcguire will go East
on legal business to be gone a week, and
he will not be available.

and the Republican party was manifested
This Scandinavian Republican Club,
which held its first meeting July 2, 1896,
was organized by l.. G. Larsen of the we'll
known firm of Larsen Bros, contractors,
and Viggo Konig of the Manhattan, at
151 Fifth street. Since its formation there
has been added to its rolls the names of
some of the most prominent Scandina-
vans in the City until now it numbers
over 400 members, all of whom have taken
great interest in the coming campaign,
local as well as National They believe
that with John d. Spreckels as leader of
the Republican party in this City the Re-
publican party can be made such that all
men having the interest and welfare of
the City at heart can vote for the party
nominees.
The natives of Norway, Sweden and
Denmark who have made the United
States their home have shown their fitness
for American citizenship by conforming
to the laws and customs of their adopted
country. They have not been heard of in
politics before, but this year they are de-
termined to make their influence felt on
the side OF protection and good govern
ment.
The sentiments as expressed by the
speakers at last nights meeting clearly
showed that the members of the Scandi-
navian club are thoroughly well informed
upon the politics of the day.
President Clausen, c. II. Petersen and
Al Olsen spoke on campaign issues, and
u. Q. Larsen, the organizer of the Scandi-
navian Republican Club, gave brief his
tory of how the Democratic party treated
the laboring- man in the South.
The club is now launched forth for the
campaign. 1t will hold regular weekly
meetings until the day of election.
The officers are; President, NJ. T. Clau-
sen: vice. president, Alfred Olsen; secre-
tary, Viggo Konig; treasurer, G. J. Peter
son. - n

THE HANDBALL COURTS.
NeaIon and Bonnet Play Great Game
Against Champion Riordan
and LaWIess

A great game of handball was played in
the San Francisco court Monday after
noon, the contestants being John Riord an,
the coast champion. and Joe Lawless
against J. G. Nealon and T. F. Bonnet
The game was the best of three and
the play was swift and exciting from the
start. Nealon distinguished himself by
his returns, which were low and hard. He
and his partner lost the final by two aces.
There were several good games at this
court, which were all marked by close
and exciting finishes. Among them was
a game in which P T. Donnelly, the anna
teur champion, and ]. Riley played against
9. McNuity, T. Walsh and w, Riley with
the rubber ball and won.
The event of the day at the Union court
was game in hich the old-time rivals
participated. R. Lenihan and J. Nelson
turned the tables on j. ]. Feeney and
Terry McManus, the heavy weight cham
pion, winning the final OF the great
struggle by four aces.
Another game that aroused great inter-
est was the contest between Billy Gal
lagher and Harry Finneck against Dick

INCENDIARY OR CHANCE2
A Theory That the Stoneman
House, Yosemite, Was Set
on Fire.
Commissioners Will Investigate, and
Then Pan for Some Temporary
Buildings.

Guardian Galen Clark of the Yosemite
Valley thinks that the Stoneman House.
recently entirely destroyed by fire, was
lost to the State by the act of an incen-
diary.
The first reports, it will be remembered,
attributed the cause of the fire to faulty
hues and crevices in the brick chimneys.
The official public reports on file in the
office of the secretary of the Yosemite
commissioners tell very different story.
At one point in his account of the de-
struetion of the State property the
guardian saws:
The fues of every chimney were thor
oughly lined with sheet steel tubing from
the freplaces below to some three or four
feet above the chimney and capped with
spark-extinguishing boards. 1t is my
opinion that the fire never originated
from accident, but was purposely set by
some unknown person." He also de-
clares that there had been no fires in the
furnaces since the day before. when the
hotel was formally closed for the season.
This is all he says about the cause of
the flre, but the Board of Yosemite Com
mlssloners will meet in this City next
Monday, when Governor Budd will be
present to engage iii further inquiries into
this suggestive report and also to consult
as TO what arrangements shall be made to
provide proper accommodations for tour
lists visiting the valley next season.
The Commissioners have let the con-
tract for two new bridges in the valley to
L. g. McCandlish of Coulterville, the
lowest bidder, and he has already started
on the work of construction. One bridge
is to span the Merced River at the Cas-
cades in the lower end of the valley, and
the other will be built near Bridal Veil
Fail. The cost of the two bridges will be
$l57O. They will be completed by Oc-
toher /

Lectures on Socialism.

The Jewish section of the Socialist Labor
party was addressed at its headquarters last
night at go Folsom street by Leo Gasser, on
"The Attitude of Wage-Earners to Socialism" I"
Rev. J. E. Scott will speak tonight (Wednes-
day. at the Turk-street Temple at the mass
meeting to be held by the Liberty Branch of
the Socialist Labor party. His topic is one
that promises large audience, as ne will

DAY evening the horse and wagon were driven
into the dumps instead of over the bridge
which spans the portion over which the
wagon should have journeyed. The occupants
were thrown out, but no one was hurt.

stead of Sixty Interior Openings"
Saturday Night.

Chairman Afford and several of the
active Democrats who run State politics
from the inside, went to Stockton yester-
day, and to-day and tomorrow there'll be
large politics done up there while the
bands play on Admission day and the
headquarters at the California Hotel
gather dust.
Frank Gould, Gavin McNab Chairman
Afford, Governor Budd, Steve White and
a long list of those fellows who are wheels,
cranks, safety valves and piston roos in
the State machine will unbutton their
vests, order another with straws and en-
deavor to accomplish fusion of ideas.
1t is understood that one of the fields

large is given over 10 innocent Joys is that

Frank Gould is chairman of this Legisla-
tive and Congressional Committee, and
the other members are Gavin McNab,
Governor Budd, Stephen NJ. White, w.
w. Foote and James G. Mcguire.
Every last one is a candidate for the
United States Senate, and so they are all
supposed to be ready to hustle for the said
Legislative fusion like a black-and-tan
after a woodchuck. This committee is

and in engineering, stimulating or re-
pressing Popocratic district attractions.
There'll be lots OF the county politicians
at Stockton. Fusion on Assemblymen
and Senators has already been accom-
plished in several districts, and other deals
are in progress. Some of the State lead
ers also expect to take advantage of the
warm spots in some Democratic hearts UP
there and secure few bits for the State
campaign fund that is yet an empty
dream.

Democracy is suffering is not the only evil

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.
An Enthusiastic Meeting Held Last
Night in the Pioneer
Building.

The Republican National League are
keeping the fires OF Republicanism
brightly burning. Their weekly meeting
at their rooms in the Pioneer building on
Fourth street last night was full of en-
thusiasm and replete with stirring music,
speech and song. Tlrey L. Ford presided
and was warmly applauded. The National
League Glee Club sang a number of ex-
cellent campaign songs, and Miss Mabel
Gruman added much 10 the entertaining
features of the programme by recitation.
which was promptly encored.
Not the least interesting of a specially
interesting programme was the personal
testimony Of two Of Major McKinley's per-
sonal friends-A. r. Kanaga formerly of
Canton, Ohio, and Mrs. George E. Spen-
Ger, who recently came from the East to
California.
Hon. J. A. Stephens made the principal
address of the evening and clearly demon
s.rated the fallacies of the Chicago plat
form, and wrought his audience up to a
high pitch of enthusiasm.
He made it clear that of all men in
America the men who work for wages
should be the last to aid by their votes
the degradation OF our financial system.
Coming, as he does, from the State of Ne
