NEWER CITY HALL.
The North End Improvement Associa-
tion Ratify the Awarding of
the PlanA

A meeting OF the North End and
Kearny-street Improvement Association
took place at the old Y. M. G. A. Hall on
Sutter street last evening. The object of
the meeting was to ratify the action of
the Board of Supervisors in awarding the
plans of the new municipal building to be
erected on the site of the old City Hall.
Chairman John Shirley OF the associa-
ton called the gathering to order and
stated that this was an assem- blage of
North Kearny-street business men, whose
object was to turn the tide of progress and
prosperity back to its old starting point.
He referred to the proposed erection OF
the new building, which is to COST $780, 900,
which, he said, will cause a change In the
North End.
He spoke of the excellent work of Su-
peryisors Wagner and Ben njamin in getting
the appropriation for the great building.
Both OF the Supervisors were present and
addressed the meeting.
George d. Shadburne said that Market
street, with its lofty values and towering
rents, would not always stand the strain
and that capitalists were even now buy
ing up the deprecated property along
Kearny street. Real estate he said, had
increased in value in the North End fully
one-third since it became known that the
new municipal building was to be erected.
Eugene Dupray, Supervisor Hirsh and
others addressed the meeting in the same
tenor, and predicted that within a year
the new building would be finished.
The following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
WHEREAS, The plans and specifications for
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-26

cation is full of alarm and wonder at what
may happen pretty soon.
Having secured control of majority of
the general committee through the re-
cent partnership with Lanigan, Rainey is
now straining every nerve to capture the
campaign committee of twenty, which was
supposed TO be absolutely Rainey-proof
when it was appointed by Chairman Sulli-
van. Eddie Greaney and other able lieu
tenants are manipulating every influence
that can be brought to bear on members
of the committee. The Raineyites claim
to surely have seven of the committee and
four more are needed.
1t is understood throughout the organi-
zation that ii The Rainey- Daggett-L
gan combination can capture the campaign
committee, which was endowed with alb
soIute powers by their enemies, they will
simply assume direction of things and let
the machine stand as it is. 1t would be
more polite and arouse less comment and
opposition to thus gently slip into con-
troll without making any revolutionary
disturbance.
But if the capture of the campaign com
mittee is not accomplished soon the Rainey-
Lanigan programme is to call a meet
ing OF the general committee, amend the
SO as 10 40 away Wltn the
campaign committee and substitute some
new committee. which they can create
themselves.
So there is a general expectation that
within a week or two Chairman Sullivan
will receive petition for meeting signed
by fifty members of the general commit
tee, which, under the constitution, will
force a meeting. Any move OF that sort
will precipitate the fierce battle which is
bound to come, if there is any sustained
effort to keep the Junta machine going,
and that battle will result In the route
of McNab, Sullivan, Hassett, Pepper,
Braunhart Hughes and the minor lights
of the decent" element which have
sought to get control Of the local party
No definite moves toward a reorganiza-
ton of the party which will unite it have
yet appeared, but reorganization is in the
local Democratic air, and both factions
are anticipating it and putting themselves
in position to win as much as possible of
the new machine.
Whenever and however this reorganiza-
ton comes the Buckleyites and the
tricts on programme that will leave
McNab, Braunhart, Pepper, Sullivan,
Hassett, Hughes and their kind out in the
cold alone. Reorganization must come
through primary TO which both fac lions
will agree to submit, and at fair primary
the gentlemen mentioned will have about
as much chance to elect anybody or be
elected themselves to the new county
committee as to be elected President of
the Uniten States. The practical district
politician on both sides agree on this
feature OF the programme.
The way the Rainey-Lanigan com bina-
tion captured the State Central Commit
teemen from San Francisco is an exponent
of the situation in the Junta. Before the
State Convention the McNab element was
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-26

nected with the business office of morn
ing Republican contemporary, but now
engaged in the insurance business.
There are others whose services are
equally important in the management of
a successful club. These are the several
committees:
The executive committee with its chair
man, NJ. H. Smith, comprises Thomas
McDermott, W. E. Bates, A. B. Turner, L.
Schwartz, NJ. s. Harloe, J. H. Healy, l.
D. Hart and E. G. Palmieri. Under these
aus spices the club will make no such thing
as a failure in its task of assisting in the
campaign.
The memb bers OF the finance committee
are: D. K. Mullen, M. Welch, E. NJ.
Buckley, F. Hagernan, J. B. Camnbell, A.
DeIatori, Ed Holland and George Buzzini.
For permanent organization R. r. Duck
worth, E. G. Palmieri and /. D. Hart are
authorized to act as a committee.
The headquarters of the Phoenix Club
are located at Scottish Hall on Larkin
street, opposite the south end of the City
Hall, where weekly meetings will be held
on Tuesday nights from now until the
election next November.
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-26

of the Phoenix Club as that body of men
marched four abreast behind band of
music which discoursed patriotic airs.
The Phoenix Club in some sense is very
much like the fabulous bird from which it
derives its name.
1t has, since IFS origin, risen up with
that spontaneity accredited to the bird Of
mythology. Within a few weeks the
Phoenix Club assumed shape and be-
came one of the living forces about to ex-
ercise its power and influence in the COM
ing campaign.
In 1890 the Phoenix Club first made its
appearance rs a political factor in the
Republican ranks. Its creation is due to
Charles Forrest Curry. a young man, a
native of this City, and one of those en-
dowed with the qualities of leader.
Mr.. Curry believes in the principles OF
the Republican party. and with this be-
lief there is no such thing as shaking
his loyalty to the party or the party
leaders.
The qualities possessed by this young
man brought bim to the front with
his youthful friends and they urged
his nomination before the leaders OF the
party for the Office of Recorder in 1886.
But the then leader, w. T. Higgins,
thought him too young Tor such
responsible office as that OF Recorder
for big city like San Francisco. But
he did yield to the wishes of the party
and permitted him to be nominated for
the Assembly for the then Thirty-sixth
q District.
This was looked upon as an attempt
to shelve the rising young man s pollti-
cal ambition, from the fact that the
Thirty.sixth Assembly District It that
time was Democratic by large ma
iority and the idea OF nominating school,
boy for the Assem- bly, from that district
was considered huge joke by the Demo-
Gratis.
But when the votes were counted and
IL was found that Young Curry had been
elected by sweeping majority over MS
Democratic opponent the laugh was on
the other side. Even good natureo
Bill Higgins admitted his astonlshmenb
and confessed that he had made mistake
in estimating the caliber of young Curry
and the propelling power OF has 1rlenas'
foremost among whom is his cher deputy,
Harry PipeT-also one OF the bright young
men of San Francisco.
The record made by this young man in
the session of the Legislature OF 1887 was
not only brought to the notice OF the local
politicians in this City but gave him a
State reputation which was recognized oy
General Sam Backus when President Har-
rison appointed him Postmaster OF this
CITY. He placed Mr.. Curry in charge
of that very important branch station
near the new City Hall. At the Repub-
lican State Convention OF 1884 be had the
nomination for Clerk of the Supreme
Court within his grasp, but at the re-
ouest of some of his friends he permitted
another to get it.
When the principal convention assem-
hIed in San Francisco few months later
be was offered the nomination tor County

Clerk, which he accepted, and he was
elected by handsome majority.
Inns Office he has filled and conducted
with his usual ability. Besides this he has
turned more money into the City treasury
curing his term as County Clerk than any
Such is the character and political stand
ing OF the founder of the Phoenix Republi-
can Club.
Yet, however able a man may be, he
cannot form club. To do this he must
nave men, and those men must, in order to
succeed, be in perfect accord with their
principal. Such were the men who
associated themselves with this young
1eeoer. Among tn EN- may be mentioned:
Ex-Congressman John T. Cutting, ex-
Haroor Commissioner c. o. Alexander, ex-
State senator and ex-District Attorney J.
n. E. Wilson, j. G. Quinn, Collector of In
