BY a jugglery Of figures, Secretary
Gage is trying to hide the great deficit
that the Dingley bill is daily creating.
He does this by counting in the S54,-
000,00 received from the sale of the
Southern Pacific railroad, which has
nothing to 10 with the case at all, be-
ing entirely outside of it. AS deficit
producer the Wilson bill isn't in 1t at
all with the gigantic and monstrous
robber tariff bill of Mr.. Dingley, which
the party in power has foisted upon the
people for the benefit of trusts, COM
bines and other inventions OF the devil
and the money powers.

GRAND ARMY CONTEST
Two Candidates in the Field for
Commander of George H.
Thomas Post.
The Nominating Committee Named ].
Murray Bailey and VIM. E Lutz
Third Nominee Possible.

Grand Army comrades in San Francisco
may be enlivened by a sharp contest for
the honor of commanding George II.
Thom No. 2, Department OF California
and Nevada. At the last Meeting OF the
post the nominative committee, as de-
parture from the usual custom, presented
the names of two regular cand didates, J.
Murray Bailey ana William e Lutz.
In the regular order of succession from
senior vice to post commander, Mr..
Bailey would be entitled to command the
post for the ensuing year, but precedenis
are sometimes cast aside in the Grand
Army OF the Republic as in other organi-
cations, hence the senior vice, who is
reco lnlzed as an able and progressive
man, may De compelled to enter a hot
fight in order 10 achieve SUCCESS.
William Z. Lutz, the opposing candi.
date. cannot be fairly called the leader of
tho opposition. as his name was proposed
in regular order by the committee. 1t is
just possible that the opposition may put
third candidate in the field. Mr.. Lutz
has figured to some extent III publ C
affairs. He was secretary OF the Grand
Jury which Immediately precede the
present body of grand jurors. He is a
D 4mocratic candidate for delegate to the
Non-Partisan Board of Freenolders to
frame 4 cnsrter for San Francisco, and as
such was indorsed By the Republicans,
Democrats and Populists. He has energy
and ability.
The war record OF either candidate is all
right, but that does not count for very
much iavor in an election for post com
mander. Punctuality in attendance at
post meetings, ability as a presiding
officer ard general all around comrade-
ship frequently outweigh the recognition
of wears OF active service al the front.
Whatever way he election NAV go,
Thomas Post will get frs class COM
mander. The election will be held Decem-

Attorney Hill Explains How
the Waterfront Cases
Stand.
Peculiar Query Circulated in the
Towns of Alameda and
Oakland.
To Jump at Conclusions Is to Play
Into the Hands of the
Enemy.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL.

90S Broad way. Nov. 10.
The attorneys for the waterfront cases
are interested in knowing the exact pur-
pose of little slip of paper that is being
passed around Oakland and Alameda con-
taining the following:
Are you in favor of an appeal to the United
States Supreme Court in the Oakland water
front cases? - name, - address.
There can be no real purpose served
by such a proposition" said William Lair
Hill of the senior firm of counsel in the
case to-day. Nearly two weeks ago,
based on Information which CALL re-
porter obtained from me. it was distinctly
stated hat the waterfront case would
be carried to the hig hest court in the land
but that the attorneys in the case were
consulting as 10 the proper course to pur-
sue. This is case involving great issues
anu the people on the other side have un-
imi ed wealth with which they can keep
themselves supplied with the best legal
talent. This being the case the suit m ust
be carried on in such manner as not to
leave any loophole whereby II may be
prolonged Indefinitely on account OF ap-
peal. and other processes.
LAT the present time the case is not in
a condition hat admits OF appeal to the
Supreme Court of The United States.
There is nothing to appeal from at this
time. and if every body in California were
to sign a staten Mt that they were in favor
of an appeal, it would not have particle
of effect on the statutes which govern the
courts OF .he State and those OF Federal
jurisdiction.
This method of getting a whole lot of
signatures IS absurd.
I'VE cannot hurry the actions of courts
TO such an extent as 10 leopardize our
case. We are working onsc.entiously
on 1t, and a l sIaiei several days ago,
We are cons dering The very best means
TO take the next step. Every body in
Oakland wants to see the water front pub
lie property and not controlled by sny
private corporation. and everybody will
naturally sign yes" to the request.
The attorneys have already decided,
and in fact their contention mas been a
g. ong, that the case should go TO the
highest court, ana We now believe that
there is enough matter in sta of doubt
to u>ti:y US in believing that eventually
The Supreme Court of the Stale or the
Supreme Court of the United States, If
necessary, will support our contentious.
"Tnere is already on file a contract
which states the terms upon which this
case shalt be carried to the highest courts,
ana | am sure the attorneys in the matter
are prepared 10 do their whole duty"
