CHARLES L. PATTON SPEAKS
CHEERS FOR HENRY MARTIN,
 McKINLAY AND MURPHY.

The people of the western part of the city, those living near Golden Gate Park, had an excellent opportunity of meeting and getting acquainted with the Repubu- can candidates last evening. A rousi1g meeting was held under the auspices of the Associated League of United Labor Clubs in Cyclery Hall, 506 Stanyan street, at which Edward Howe presided.
 Long before the time for calling the as sembly to order every chair in the big apartment was occupied by people whose Republican enthusiasm could not be doubted, judging from the manner i'll which every candidate was welcomed as he entered the hall. There was plenty of musical talent there as well. Probably what attracted the most attention vas the announcement that Charles l.. Pat ton, candidate for Mayor, and D. A. Mckinlay of Santa Rosa were to be pres ent and address the gathering.
 sons who aspire to office. In fact the whole platform was filled with candl- dates and none left feeling that he had not been welcomed. The hrst to speak was Mir McKinlay, who said that he pre- ferred to discuss matters of national and State importance than those municipal. ducted upon entirely new lines from any in the past. All sectionalism had been wiped out forever by the recent war where North and South fought side by side for the honor of the nation and the glory of the flag. He urged his audience to uphold the administration by sending back to Congress men who would see that none but Republicans are favored at the hands of the legislators. As reason why the present administration should be up held he cited the fact that since President Mckinley went into office more men are at work and more factories are In oper- ation than for many long month pre- vious. ,
 The speaker paid his respects to Candi- date Mcguire, saying that the latter has endeavored to make the people believe that the railroad was the only issue In the present campaign. That Is not so. If such was the case, MT. Mcguire would be asking to be sent back to Congress, In order to get his name into the papers as an anti-railroad man, instead of urging the people to elect him to the position of Governor of this State. MT. Mckin- lay also pulled the candidate for Gov ernor over the coals on the single tax proposition.
 While he was speaking there. was q great shout in the rear of the hall, which announced the arrival of Mir. Patton. The latter took the platform at once, and in one of his simple characteristic speeches told the audience what they might ex- pect of him if they elect him to the high position of Mayor of this city. His posi- tion, in favor of the new charter. d0i- ties, park Improvements. etc, were stated clearly and met with the approval of those whom he addressed. At the con clusion of his short address MT. Patton said that the Republican party will do more for the laboring man than the Dem ocrauc party will, and finished by refut- ing the statement that he is the creature of any boss or corporation.
 D. J. Murphy, candidate for District At torney, made rou5ing speech, in which he discussed the merits of the many who, under the Republican banner, are seek ing the. votes of the people. Before. fin ishng he had a few words to say of his political opponent, Barclay Henley, who he declared Is not to be trusted, judging from the mans past life. Henry 5. Mar tin, who aspires to be the next Sheriff. received an ovation that would hatter any one. The crowd cheered him from the time he, entered the hall until he left.
 Among the other candidates present who made a few remarks were Edward H. Aigeltinger for Supervisor, John D. Siebe for Assessor, Martin [. Fragley for Superintendent of Streets, Charles Curry for Secretary of State, William A. Deane for County Clerk l. J. Truman for Treas urer, A; C.; Berthier for Recorder, Ed ward l.
