Republicans are preparing for the ratifi-
| cation meeting tomorrow evening. 1t
was reported in one of the daily papers
recently that the Democratic ratification
meeting would be held at Metropolitan
( Hall on Saturday evening Of this week
but the Republicans have engaged the hall
| for that evening, and they hold receipt
| for the DreDaid rent,
No doubt Democrats will be cordially
| welcomed by their fellow-citizens of Re
their time to better use than in listening
! for a half hour to the plain language OF
that exemplary citizen the Hon. Horace
| Davis.
The registration. which closed last
night, renders it certain that very
large vote will be cast at the municipal
indicative Of Republican success, There
| is a marked change of public sentiment in
favor of Mr.. Davis. Republicans who
were. debating the question last week
whether they should cast another ballot
| for Mr.. Phelan have settled the problem
| by resolving to support Mr.. Davis, be
in every other respect worthy Of the In
dorsement of the people of San Francisco
When Mayor Phelan happens to be cam
paigning in Republican districts he is
very anxious that national issues and
| party topics should not be discussed In
local contest. When addressing Demo
| takes another view of the subject When
| he was advertised to address a Demo
cratic mass meeting in this city on August
The Call fancied that he would "slop
! over" and therefore engaged an expert
| stenographer to report his speech YER
batim. The Mayor, with the assistance
! of an evening paper. is now trying to
| square that speech with subsequent ut
! teranceS but the matter is not adjustable.
| Another extract from the Mayors Dem
ocratic speech on that occasion may in
/ Rpn1h1iCan VOfnrc The MqUOr
| said: 1.-THE old Democratic party that
| came down from Jefferson has traditions
been the closest party to the people And
when Mr.. Lane says he is surprised that
the Republican party has not at any
| time inspired the confidence of the peo-
| pie, Notwithstanding that it had with 1t
| such men as Abraham Lincoln. he can
be easily answered when we tell him
! that the personnel of the party is COM
! posed unfailfngly-and you see it In this
| cty-of the men who prey upon the pub
| lie revenues and avoid their share of
! taxation and who subsist upon special
| privileges. You can't regenerate the Re
| publican party in municipal affairs for
| that reason
| When Horace Davis speaks of living
national Issues in which every citizen is
! traitor to the charter, but shades of
Monticello, Phelan can bring out Thomas
Jefferson and the early century traditions
Of the Democratic party and no one for
! that challenges his loyalty to the spirit
of the new charter. In the name of con-
science one may ask what Mayor Phelan
means by this Jeffersonian diversion
The charge made by the Mayor that
| the Republican party is composed unfail-
! ingly of men who avoid their share of
| taxation was unwarranted, unjust and
untrue. Republican tax payers may re-
sent it at the polls on November L
The enrolment of voters in the Horace
! Davis Central Club is progressing rapid
| ly. The. organization promises to exert
great influence in the cause of good gov
! ernment.
Members of the Democratic County
Committee have been notified to attend
the initial meeting of that body at B'nai
Birth Hall tonight.
A Democratic ratification meeting will
be held next Monday night at Metro
! polftan Temple for the purpose of indors-
ing the nominees Of the late Democratic
