Worn out by the long campaign the Democratic orators and jobchasers wound up their fight last night at Metropolitan Temple With husky voices they labori- ously praised Mcguire and Phelan and denounced the Republican ticket until they were compelled to stop from ex- haustion or by the impatience of the audience.

 According to William Blumfield, who called the big crowd to order, the meeting was under the auspices of the laboring men, F. H. Mccarthy, president of the Building Trades Council was introduced as chairman. He made an impassioned appeal to the labor vote to support Ma guire Phelan and Barry at the polls to- day, and after repeating his arguments several times, finally, at the suggestion of one of the officials on the platform, he introduced Herman Gutstadt, another workingman. Gutstadt spoke for ten minutes. going over the ground which has been plowed and narrowed by all the Democratic campaign orators. and closed with an exhortatfon to voters to support the entire Democratic ticket.

 Mayor Phelan thanked the chairman for introducing him as the next Mayor and said the work was over and he only wished to say a word for the other can didates on the Democratic ticket. He de- clared they were all good, pure, honest men who only wish to get political posi- tions for the purpose of looking after the interests or the dear people who were be- ing robbed by monopoly, etc. He rallied aga1nst bossism and declared that under the existing conditions it was a badge of Hl-repute Tor man to hold a municipal PoslIon.

we are men, and that we are true to the people who have fought for our cause and who were ever our friends"
 MT. Morton's words were received with great attention. At the close of his speech the audience arose in their seats and gave three cheers for the Republican par ty. The names of Patton and Gage were then mentioned and they evoked like ap- plause.
 Rev. Tyndall Brown was called upon for a few words. He said: "Gentlemen, 1t is with deep pleasure that I address you tonight, the eve of election. when all of us should feel that we have something in common: The success of the grandest po- litical party this country has ever known or the world has ever seen. Tomorrow when you cast your votes remember there Is one party that has ever been la boring for the cause of humanity, that has wrought on the page of history the noblest work that has ever been acom- plished and achieved the greatest sue cesses in the memory of man. It Is your duty as men to see that that party is still continued in power that the good work may still go on"
 The candidates who dropped in from time to time were welcomed with enthu- slastic greetings. and the meeting closed with reverential promises for a united balloting on the morrow.

WHY YOU SHOULD
 VOTE FOR PATTON
A Few of the Reasons That Ap- peal to the Minds of Honest Minded Voters of This
 Municipality.

cisco and to the strict conhne- ment of the city's expenditures to that limit.
 SIXTH.-de is in favor of paying every laborer fair and ample wages, and IS pledged to insist upon the rate of $2 for a day of eight hours to every la borer either directly or indirectly under the city's employ.
 SEVENTH.-He is in favor of an honest and equitable valua- ton of the property of the great corporations for the purpose of taxation, and Of a like valuation as a basis for the fxation of water, gas and other rates of those corporations which are sub ject to regulation by law.
 EIGHTH.-He will faithfully perform every duty ot h1S ott1ce exactly as prescribed by law. He will see and count the city money. | He will attend the meetings of every board of which he is a member and will exercise a strict and watchful supervision over every department of municipal affairs.
 NINTH.-F1e is not a politi- cian-he is not an office-seeker- he is not demagogue-he is not a boss. He IS property-holder and taxpayer of our city. He has but one pledge outstanding. He pledges himself to the people of San Francisco that if elected Mayor he will honestly, impar- tially and to the best of his ability administer the duties of the office in conformity with their wishes and in accordance with law.
The San Francisco call., 1898-11-08

FIRST.-He is a representa- five citizen-a gentleman with out single blot upon his char acter-an able, independent, hon orable man.
 SECOND.-He is a Republi- can-the regular nominee of the Republican party. He stands for its principles and upon its plat form. He believes that San Fran cisco should give President Mo Kinley a vote of confidence by recording a good majority for the entire State and local tickets.
 THIRD. - He is his own "boss" and is under no obligation to any other. He is not con trolled by any combination of either politics or capital. He does not aspire to be boss, nor will he use the Mayoralty as a stepping-stone for other ambi- tions. He has but one ambition, that of giving to San Francisco a clean, honest, economical admin istration of it's municipal affairs an administration which through all the future its people may look back upon with pride.
 FOURTH.-He IS for the new charter and it's adoption by the Legislature. He believes that the people of San Francisco are entitled, as a matter of right, to the ratification of the organic law which they have drafted and ap- proved.
 FIFTH.-He believes in a dollar limit of taxation upon a valuation of $35o,ooo,ooo of the taxable property of San Fran

nothing could be more fitting than that the final outpouring on behalf of Ma guire should be by workingmen, and he urged the laborers to keep step on cleo tion day as they do in Labor day parades.
 M. F. Taylor, who spoke here two years ago for Bryan, was the next speaker, and he entertained the audience for an hour or more. His address was confined al most wholly to national issues, with occa- sional eulogistic flights in behalf of Ma guire and Phelan. He predicted the cleo ton of Bryan in 1900, and devoted several minutes of unstinted praise to the IS to champion. He also likened Mcguire to Lincoln as an emancipator.
 w. F. Taylor, the next speaker was re- peatedly interrupted by his audience, and at the close received a big ovation.
 w N. Hinton said a few words about the railroad, and then retired.

that the corporate monopolies will never again attempt to make a fight in the open"
 He declared that he had reliable in- formation that the Republican ticket was losing ground all over the State. He said a few laudatory words for Barry and the State ticket, and continued with a special denunciation of the railroad and an ur- gent appeal to the voters to vote for Democratic legislators.
 Maguire's closing words were: ''The case is tried. the issues are drawn and leave 1t in your hands to decide the result"
 pr. Washington Dodge then made his bow and said he had lost his voice in conducting a campaign of education. Then he declared that all the evil and selfish interests of the city were sup porting Assessor Siebe. He declared he was fighting for principle and only his

F. Byington pledged themselves to be honest if elected Supervisors.
 Judge Mcguire entered at this point and begged for breathing spell before deliv- ering his farewell address. After quar- tet had delivered a consignment of cam paign doggerel, I. M Mulholland, who wants to be Surveyor-General, asked the audience If they would vote for him, and receiving a few faint affirmatives said that's all and retired.
 Chairman Mccarthy then asked M. F. Taylor to introduce Judge Mcguire. Ma guire said that everywhere throughout the State he had met with a cordial and enthusiastic reception, not for himself, but because of the principles for which he stands.
 '"The battle is drawing to a close, the testimony Is in, the arguments have been made,' said Mcguire, 'and l believe that we shall win. The blow will be so severe

AFRo-AMERIcANs MEET.
Eloquent Words of Praise for the Re
 publican Party.

The Afro-American League called a meeting last night for the purpose of strengthening the spirit of Republican ism among the rank and file of the col ored population of San Francisco. Al though detrimental influences diminished the attendance, the hall was crowded with enthusiastic Republicans, who cheered and shouted for the candidates on the grand old partys ticket whenever the-occasion offered.
 After the ordinary business of the league was transatced Mir. Morton. a for mer president of the society, arose and addressed the audience on the purpose or the meeting. He said that 1t was the last moment before the all-important day which means so much to the African de scendants in this country. and he bade all think twice before, they cast their votes. He said: Let us vote for the par ty which made it possible for our race to hold up our heads and say that we are free men Let us vote for the party which gave us a voice in government ln1s, t.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a. mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer"
and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should sec
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
r. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
''My health became so poor that /
had to leave school. was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. 1 was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. l was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. / followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as
ever was. 1 have gained flesh and have
a good color. am completely cured Oh
