At last Senator Elkins seems to have
succeeded in arousing the United
States senate TO a comprehension Of the
advantages this country has afforded
and il affording Canada, not only
without compensation. but in spite of
the most unjust discrimination against
us.
Through the special advantages TO a
great extent afforded by United States
courtesy. the Canadian Pacific railroad
is enabled TO do business more cheaply
than our railroads can do il; and we
are practically aiding an alien line TO
compete with our own roads and divert
ing trade TO the amount OF $50 eoo, 600 per
annum. We give Canada a Klondike
every year without a cent of compen-
sating benefit. and Canada imposes
upon our people every handicap that
ready ingenuity can devise. Some OF
the restrictions imposed upon Ameri-
cans going into the Klondike district
have been abandoned. but only when
the pressure OF public opinion became
too strong to resist: and it was always
promptly followed by fresh device for
placing obstacles In the way az Ameri-
cans or deprlving them of the benefit
Of their enterprise.

The Democrats are willing 10 concede
the mayoralty to the Silver Republicans
who would put up Judge Austin in min
ute IL they had a chance-and Judge
Austin can be eIected-for - per cent. Of
the Populists would vote for him. while
perhaps that number would not vote for
a Democrat.
1t will be a source of regret TO be re-
membef.d for years If the Popullsts' de-
mand for the chief official place shall re-
suit In no fusion" This IS precisely
what the Republicans desire to occur. and
they are pushing that sentiment for all II
IS worth among the weakened Of all
parties.
If the Democrats VIII not support a
populist-and in turn the popullsts VIII
not support a Democrat-why rot har-
monize by nominating Judge Austin and
sweeping the boards clear?' Austin can
carry a thousand Republican votes and be
elected against any man whom The gold
bugs can put Up.
Think Of this carefully, gentlemen.

opportunity to win IA victory.

Therefore, the great political parties of the country are really component parts Of the Government itself, and when one man or a set of men control or attempt to control great political party, then that political party becomes a menace to repre- sentative government and dangerous to the free institutions of the land. (Ap- plause) In violation of every time-hon- ored principle of the Democratic party a bold. deliberate attempt has been made to prevent the Democratic voters of the City and County of San Francisco from any voice in the management of the af- fairs of either party. Strange to say. this bold and deliberate attempt was originally conceived by the Democratic State Cen tral Committee, Itself body which un- der all circumstances, should endeavor to foster and promote spirit of harmony within the Democracy of the State of California so that on the Sth of next No yember our Democratic standard could be pinned to the pinnacleS or success ana victory.
 Now. gentlemen of the convention, so far as the controversy existing in the ranks of the San Francisco Democracy is concerned, and in order to give you an opportunity of understanding the con dition of affairs existing in that city, 1t will be necessary for me to begin in the year 1892. For ten years prior to 1892 the Democratic party of the city and county of San Francisco was held in the iron grasp of a political boss. The Democrat ic voters of San Francisco of that year were thoroughly aroused to the existing conditions. the humiiating condition, may say of their party in that year. The result of this was that there was uni versal desire on the part of the Demo- eral party reorganization In fact, an organization was formed that was termed the ReorganiZed Democracy of the city and county of San Francisco. There are eighteen Assembly districts in the city. In each of these eighteen Assembly dis tricts enrollments of Democratic voters were held.
 The strength of these enrollments In these eighteen Assembly districts proved beyond all doubt the universallty of the CTS for a general party reorganization. A primary was held under the reorganized Democracy for the election of the gen. eral committee of 450. composed of 25 rep resentatives from each of these eighteen Assembly districts. Four hundred and

twenty--eight members from the SO
 called Sullivan organization; while the .So-Called Harney organization was com ;pleteIy ignored. We further find that State Central Committee to ascertain
 inc will Of the Democratic voters or san Francisco by primaries, or other
 wise. in the matter of the attempted re- organization, but no effort was made to bring into consultation any of the lead
 Ing members of the party in San Fran
 CISCO, on whose Democracy and anti boss record no possible imputation could be cast
 :. In the discussion before our committee no answer was attempted to the propo- Sldon that the Harney organization IS
 the legal and regular organization of the
 San Francisco Democracy, but the :; charge was made in general terms that
 1t was under the control and domination of a boss" Said charge was not sus-
 tained by any evidence submitted to us. We believe that the charge is false and : was adduCed for the purpose of obscur- ing. the real questions at issue, ana pc ing without proof, furnishes no justin ~:cation for the destruction of the regular
 party organization.
 Third Notwithstanding the fact that ~ we have reached the conclusion that the
 so-calleG Harney organization is the |. regular organization of the Democratic party of San Francisco and that its delegates are entitled to seats on the floor of this convention to the exclusion . Of any other representatives from San
 nciSCO-neVertheIeSS, grave consider attons of party policy have influenced
 Us to make the following recommenda-
 rions:
 We believe and recommend that 1t will
 coEduce to party harmony and success to : give to each delegate from the rival San . Francisco organizations a one-half vote; :: and we further believe and recommend that it Is conducive to the welfare of the Democratic party of the State of Cali
 foEHia, and also of the city and county of San Francisco. that both of the or .gaplzations from San Francisco con ftendfng for recognition as the regular . organization be now declared disbanded, . and that a completely new reorganiza- /: .ticn be effected of the San Francisco :: Democracy under the supervision of the :: :p6inted by this convention. on a basis = that will be truly Democratic In its :. methods and effectively give expression ::to"'the will of the Democratic voters of San Francisco. Respectfully submitted. . ,. K. Harrington, A M. Seymour, T. V.

DECLINE OF BOSS RULE.

The only ambition that the chairman of the ReorganiZed Democracy had in en- teripg into politics was to free the Demo- cratic party of the influences of a polit,- cal boss. Having succeeded in this em- bition, Joseph J. Dwyer, in the early part of 1893, resigned his position as chal man of the general committee of the Demo- cratic party. Max Pepper was cho5en as the successor of MT. Dwyer. The next election year was 1894. Under the consti- tuition under which the general committee elected in 1892 existed, new committee under that constitution had to be elected in the month of April, 1894. Early In 1894 enrollments were ordered under the auspices of the general committee of which MT. Pepper was chairman, prepara- tory to the holding of a primary under the constitution of the party for the cleo tion of a new general committee. With out any provocation Max Pepper resigned as chairman of the general committee. The result of this resignation caused con- fusion among the Democratic voters, s.S Mir Pepper at that time was the rec o5- nized chief of the Democratic party by virtue of his position as chairman of the general committee.
 The general committee failed to pro- vioe for the election of its successors. In August 1884, 1t called a municipal conven- tion for the purpose of nominating municipal candidates. That municipal convention convened and placed In nomi- nation mun1ClpdI CdnQluaIeS. 1nlS municipal convention gentlemen, was composed of the representatives of the Democratic party of the city and county of San Francisco, and 1 believe that you will agree with me when l say that, in a political subdivision of the State like San Francisco, the highest authority in any political party in a county is the municipal convention of that party com posed of the representatives Of the or ganization itself. That municipal con Yention fully realized the conditions exist ing in the Democratic party at that time. It recognized the fact that the Demo- cratic party was in a disorganized state and therefore a resolution was introduced and adopted providing for the appoint ment of committee of twenty five Demo- crats by the chairman of the convention itself for the purpose of reorganizing the Democratic party of San Francisco. The chairman of that municipal conVen- ton was the Hon. Eugene N. Deuprey, a member of this convention as a delegate from San Francisco, appointed by the committee of 100
 The reason that I refer to the fact that MT. Deuprey was the chairman of that convention is that the organization that have the honor to-day to be the president of Is an organization that was created under the authority of the committee ap- pointed by the Hon. Eugene N. Deuprey himself. and which he is now trying to have this convention throw aside. This committee was appointed. The general
