TElLER'S SILVER BOLT,
The Republicans of California
Will Stay in the
Party.

Republicans of San Francisco generally
regret that Senator Teller OF Colorado has
decided to leave the party on the silver is
sue. They entertain the view that he
would be able to accomplish more good for
the cause of bimetalli m in the Republican
party than outside of the organization. 1t
cannot be ascertalned that many Republi-
cans in California will follow his example.
1t is said that petition was in circulation
yesterday with the purpose of getting
the signatures of voters to sustain Teller's
bolt but that only few signatures were
secured.
c. F. Curry, County Clerk, was asked
last evening if he had heard of any de-
sertions from the Republican ranks in
consequence of Teiler's course, and he re-
piled that he had not. The platform OF
the Republican convention demanding
protection for all industries will bring to
the party many more votes than will be
lost by the withdrawal OF Teller. Protec-
ton is really the leading question. The
Democrats have got to work up an issue
OF some kind to keep the party together,
and the declaration for free silver may be
made at the Chicago convention. This
platform will promise the farmers every
thing. Republicans believe in silver, but
other issues take precedence at this time.
General Robert A. Friedrich will ear
nestly support the Republican National
ticket and the platform of the party, but
he is of the opinion that energetic work
must be done to carry California. Il do
not know" he said, chow strong the sentl-
ment is IN California for the free coinage
of silver, but know that many Republic
cans favor bimetallism. In my judgment
Teller made a mistake in Withdrawing
from the party. Mckinley and Hobart
will be elected, but we must prepare at the
start for hard battle in California"
Henry n. Gray did not believe that any
considerable number of California Repub-
licans would leave the party in conse-
quence OF the attitude OF Senator Teller.
Joseph Simonson fancies that Teller's
detection will cut but little figure in
party calculations. He said: 81 have not
heard of any Republicans in San Francisco
who are going to leave the party on ac-
count of the silver question. This talk of
the Democrats nominating Teller is idle.
The Democrets will not come to Teller.
He must go to them. l fancy that the sill
yer Senators have been looking to their
own interests in the move they have
taken. Perhaps they imagine that the
chance OF prolonelng their service in the
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-20
and should be made clean and acceptable

and should be made clean and acceptable
to all decent people.
With this object in view e. w. Williams,
Western Addition boy barely of age,
conceived the idea of associating with him
self q sufficient number of respectable
bows who would form political club quite
different from the political clubs which
had been In existence in other portions of
the City where the principal qualifications
for mem berShip were the quantity OF bad
liquor that each member could consume
and the number of fights he could take
part in on given night when Republican
clubs had to be stuffed and captured in the
interest of the dear old party.
No such qualifications were required
from the applicants who sought admission
to the Bear Club.
The young men of the Western Addi-
ton conceded in the views of Mr.. Will
liams, and when a sufficient mum Der had
been got together in 1885 the originator
had the club formed, and located its head
quarters at the corner of Fillmore and
Post streets, where it has since remained.
While Ed Williams was the originator
and the all OF the Bear Club, vet with his
usual mo iesty he has never been its presi-
dent. He always with that magnanimity
which he possesses encouraged some young
friend of his to the front, contenting him
self with occupying the responsible posi-
ton of chairman of the executive commit
tee from which the success of the club has
emanated, and to which the high standing
of its members and it's influence as Re-
publican organization are due.
The first officers of the Bear Club were:
President, E. j. Casey; secretary Charles
A. BaIderman; treasurer, Samuel Val
leau: executive committee-E. w. Will
Iiams, Franklin Bull, George Allen, Frank
Grimes aud r. O. 'Connor.
The opening night given by the club
was attended by some OF the best-known
society ladies in the Western Addition.
These for the first time in their lives en-
tered the door of a political gathering, and
spent most enjoyable night with their
young friends.
Thus it was that. the members of the
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-20

Bear Club established for themselves rep
utation for respectabiity that made them
favorites all over the City, and which
brought to their secretary applications for
m EN- bership from some of the leading local
Republicans all of whom considered it an
honor to be enrolled on the books.
There were no geographical lines laid
down for mem bers. Any Republican of
good moral standing in the City could pre-
sent his application, and if he went
through the ordeal of an investigation and
escaped without being hit with a black ball
he was admitted.
There is no other club in San Francisco
out of which so many of its members were
rewarded with public office as this.
Among some of the names thus honored
are found Mayor A. A. Sanderson, Con-
gresham E. L. Loud, District Attorney,
State Senator and Insurance Commits
sioner J. n. f. Wilson, County Clerks
General W. a. Davies and W. ]. Ruddick,
City Recorders E. B. Reed and Alexander
Russell, Supervisors Samuel Valleau, s.
S. Morton, William Wilkinson and J. B.
Curtis, with State Senator Dan Everett.
Meanwhile the brains and originator of
the club and the man through whom all
those have received political favors
contented himself with a clerkship until
the present time, when he was rewarded
with the office of chief clerk of the JUS
tlceS C0t.rt.
But this is not his only reward from his
young associates, for no man is held in
higher esteem by those who know MIN
than is the genial and gentlemanly Ed
Williams of the Bear Club Polite and
obliging, with kind word for all, vet
leader of men and an organizer of no mean
ability, he and his club will be heard from
before William Mckinley takes his seat in
the Presidents chair.
AS it is with Ed, so it is with those
who assist him in the management of the
club. No young man can make more
friends in a given period and retain them
for lifetime than George s. McComb, the
secretary of the club. His modesty has
kept him indoors, for he has not yet pre-
sented himself to the admiring public
But those rare gifts are inherited, not be-
slowed.
McComb came by his genial manner
through legitimate possession, for his
now departed father, General John Nc
Comb, possessed those qualities in a
marked degree as compared with the
majority of men.
The executive officers of the club at
present are: President, 7. J. Collins; vice
president, II. &. Fire baugh; secretary,
George S. McComb; treasurer, Oscar
Tolle; executive committee-E. w. Will
l1ams, W. w. Wade, R. w. Roberts, John
Williams and Daniel T. Cole.
The club will turn out tonight and Join
in the ratification of William Mckinley
for President. The drill corps will make
its appearance for the first time in 1896,
and will no doubt give good account of
itself between now and next November.

INTERVIEWS CLEVELAND.
Little Girl Puts the Third Term Cues
ton to the President.

Washington, May 16.-An amusing
incident which caused President Cleve-
land to smile, occurred during the last
public reception at the White house.
James MaIoy, who is editor Of a pa
per at Mauch Chunk Pa, and his wife
stood in line in the east room waiting
for their turn to shake the presidents
hand. Their little niece, child of
years. was with them. They had been
talking while they were waiting for the
chances of Mr. Cleveland wanting a
third term The little girl overheard,
and the third term conversation was
uppermost in her mnd when the presi-
dent took her hand. He said.
How do you do. little girl2'
The child answered; Il am very
well. Mr.. Cleveland. Is you looking for
a third term %
"A smile broadened the presidents
face but he made no reply and the lit
tie girl added:
Den. Mr. President. hope you win

Before Mr. Cleveland could regain his
equanimity and reply the usher, who
no doubt wanted to relieve the chief
