W. W. FOOTE AS A
 POLITICAL PROPHET
Foretold the Defeat of the Democratic Party---Some
 Home Truths.

There are many Democrats In the city and State who, no doubt. were greatly surprised when they learned that James G. Maguire and practically the whole Democratic ticket had been defeated at the polls by an overwhelm- ing majority.
 There are still other Democrats who were not surprised; who had foreseen and foretold defeat; who. in the days preceding the Sacramento convention. fought early and late against the con- ditions certain interruptions politicians had imposed upon the party. and who gave due and timely warning of the re- suit as recorded in the vote cast at the election on Tuesday.
 These men-the ones who were not surprised-have for many years been identified with the Democratic party and have always taken such an active part in it's affairs that they have earn ed the right to the high regard in which they are held by men of all shades of political belief. Now the election Is over it should be interesting and instructive to those who followed Mcguire to defeat to look back a few months and consider what such men as w. w. Foote, M. F. Tarpey and H. T. Fortman had to say of the conditions under which the Democratic party went into the fight just concluded.
 Soon after the select coterte of po liticaI adventurers, headed by Chair man Afford of the Democratic State Central Committee, Frank Gould. late of Stockton, and Gavin McNab, the one-time whispering Boss" and al- legged reformer, engineered a trade with the Populist party whereby scheme of fusion was to be brought about, W. w. Foote expressed his opinion of their action in the following words, pub lished in The Call of August 5, 1898:
 "The action of Afford and Gould and McNab and their associates is the most high-handed proceeding that I have ever heard of. It is a disgrace to the party and an insult to every self-respecting Democrat in the State of California"
 A few days later MT. Foote went to Sacramento as a delegate to the Demo- cratic State Convention. What he had to say there on the subject of the fusion arrangement and the organized and successful effort that was made to steal the control of the Democratic party in San Francisco and give it into the hands of the men who had com mitted the theft was in the nature of a prophecy. In speaking of the effort of certain newspapers to howl down and discredit every one who had
The San Francisco call., 1898-11-11

word to say in defense of the victims of the holdup he said:
 "I am not partisan in this mat ter. It has got so in California that if man undertakes to raise his voice in defense of what he believes to be right he is either whispered to death or bounded to death by the news papers"
 An attempt was then made by the programmers to shut off debate and thus secure the defeat of the effort that was being made by stalwarts in the convention to place the party In such a position that 1t could go before the people and make an honest bid for their support. MT. Foote combated this at tempt and on the floor of the conven- tion hall made this prophetic appeal:
 "Gentlemen: appeal to you in the name of harmony, appeal to you in the name of decency, appeal to you in the name of right, appeal to you in the name of Democracy, do not shut off hearing in this case. If you do you drive the knife into the heart of the Democratic party of the State of California. This is the most important question which has ever come before a State convention. It ought to be deliberated on with calm ness. I have no personal aims to gratify, no friends to reward or ene- mics to punish, but I doanot like to see the Democratic party stricken down by its own members until they know all of the facts. And ask in all sincerity, because expect to have no more to say upon this question, that whatever time may be desired by both parties to this question may be taken by this convention. It is a more important matter even than the nomination of officers for the next State election. If you smother this question you destroy the Democratic party not only in the city and county of San Francisco, but you will render 1t apathetic all over the State of Cali fornia, and you will have your ticket beaten"
 A conscientious consideration of Mir. Foote's ante-election utteranceS, placed side by side with the election returns, will no doubt tend to the enlightenment of those good Democrats who are at loss to account for the Republican landslide that has just wiped out all traces of the late lamented fusionists.

 How could I do that without somebody else knowing it?"

 "Believe?" repeated the Mayor. "Who believes them?"
 Why I don't know, I'm sure. The people who assert them, I suppose"
 "The people who invent them, per haps," suggested the Mayor, sneeringly, ''and who invented them out of-of-out of thin air. l didn't have to buy votes or swap votes or resort to any such means to get elected. The people were with me from the start, and l knew 1t. The only trouble with the campaign is that it has legitimately many things we did not do, and if We had We would have carried our own ticket through"

 You understand my position" he said. '''Three parties had appointed a commit tee of nine. Or this committee l was resentative of the Democratic party, the committee was to act for all and conduct a comprehensive campaign.
 The result is easily explained. This election gave the citizens of the United States the first opportunity they had since the beginning of the war with Spain There had been, in the first place, ppopreg of tbs Mar tse as to rious arising from recent disclosures con- corning the hardships to which our sol diers were subjected and a suspicion as War, threatened to dampen the ardor of the Republican party; Had It not been for these disclosures the opposition to the obllterated in the recent campaign.
 Apart from this issue. which is re- sponsble for the largeness of the results, there were minor causes which I believe helped to make our defeat so positive. I do not think that fusion has been a success. In my official position, which brought me into contact and communi- cation with earnest and patriotic men of the three parties, and in which I ob- served that our principles were grandly sustained by some, l also learned in ad- Vance of the election that there were large number who declined to yield sup port. This was true as to Democrats and Populists. The Silver Republicans who saw that they must depend upon a combined force for the integrity of their cause, did not falter in the fight
