Hon. William J. Bryan has written a
letter Quilting his views regarding the
return to The party OF democrats who
bolted the Chicago platform. He says.
The Chicago platform is the test. The
doors OF the party are always open to
receive new additions, whether they be
new converts or former members OF the
party. To err is human, and those
who erred in 1896 have only to admit
it and subscribe to the party creed 10
order to be taken back into the party.
They may dissent from some portions
of the platform. as some did in 1896.
and yet subscribe to the platform as a
whole. The only unwelcome guests
are those who deserted in 1895 and still
aim TO be better democrats than those
who remained with the party"

CHICKENS, if not stolen, will always
come home TO roost. As there were
not enough native ship carpenters in
British Colombia to complete some ships
under contract in that country, force
OF Americans were engaged at GOOD
wages to assist them. But the labor
unions there protested against their
employment, upon the ground that
citizens of that country are not allowed
to work in the United States, and so
the Americans had to be discharged.

JUsTIFIABLE HOMICIDE.
Saloon-Keeper Dodge Acted in Self
Defense When He Shot
Sailor Hall

Evidence taken yesterday at the Coro-
ner's inquest upon the body of Charles
Hall, who was shot and killed last Tues
day night by c. r. Dodge in the latter's
saloon. No PA Fifth avenue, South San
Francisco, convinced the jury that old
man Dodge had fired the shot in self-de-
fense. They found a verdict accordingly
that the homicide was justif1able.
The deceased, as we'll as his eight COM
panions, were members of the crew of the
steamer Hancock. They had several
rounds of drinks in the saloon, and a dis
pute arose between Dodge and the men

self from an attack of the old man.

the quarrel began he laid down the paper
and struck c. r. Dodge and his son.

- N Thursday of the present week
n " The Call received information
Il from a source which 1t never had
VI reason to doubt that the disrep-
utable gang with which James D.
Phelan has associated himself in the
present campaign had sounded the signal
for the opening Of the sack and were
planning a wholesale cash purchase of all
of those good Democratic votes which the
Phelan-Rainey influence could not swing
into line. Close in touch as The Call has
kept with the course of Mr.. Phelan and
his allies through the present campaign,
it has expected nothing more than the
misrepresentation and personal abuse
which have characterized the daily
mouthings of the oratorical timber of the
Phelan supporters. That the henchmen
of the Mayor would under existing cir
cumstances care or dare to attempt to
defeat the letter and spirit of the Aus
tralian ballot act by the use of money
copiously spent was not at first credited.

vides a marker with every voting booth,
Mr.. Rainey went the city one better and
contracted for lot that would mark an
ordinary straight Democratic ticket in
less than one-third the time 1t takes with
the ordinary stamp. One impression OF
Mr.. Rainey's invention, in fact, would
leave crosses nicely placed opposite the
names of all Of the candidates at the head
CT the Phelan ticket. Under his scheme
mistake in marking was impossible, but
1t served better purpose STILL In that it
made possible the system of espionage
over purchased voters that had been
planned by the gang. On the day of cleo
ton the hirelings were to report in incon-
splcuous punches to one or another Of
the lleutenants of the Bush street boss,
who We're to be stationed at the booths
of the different precincts. There they
would be provided with Mr. Rainey's s
combination stamp and sent behind the
curtain. If it took them an undue time
to mark their ballot Rainey's henchman
on the outside would know at once that
his man had not kept faith with his mas
ters and the combination would save the
price at the cost of vote.
Mr.. Rainey's little ready marker, how
ever, made no provision for Supervisors
or Police Judges. The little fellows on
the ticket were left to shift for therI-
selves; the pooled resources of the COM
bination We're to be spent solely upon
themselves, and the purchased tout was
left at liberty to vote for the others or
not, as he liked That this fact was SO
and that many others are equally true
was again demonstrated yesterday by a
visit to the red rubber stamp factory of
Noise & Klinkner, at 800 Sansome street.
A Call representative called at that cstab-
lishment yesterday afternoon to open
negotiations for a thousand or so of the
stamps as they had been described, and
after simple description, which preceded
half hours conversation with the obllg-
Ing head of the department, that official
came out with the startling information
that be knew just what was wanted.
I'VE make them every year for the
gang" said he, "and have turned cut
another bunch lately. I'll show you
one" And diving into the workroom in
the rear he reappeared in a moment with
stamp identical with that first shown
The Call.
anybody can stamp a ticket with one
of these, he continued, "and stamp it
the way you want him to-" And by way
of illustration he blocked out a line of
little red crosses opposite the names at the
head of the Democratic column on the
sample ballot that was handed him in as
little time as 1t takes to vote the head of
the ticket with the ordinary honest
stamp.
I'VE sell those at 10 cents each in thou
sand lots" continued he 'or for 1915 cents
for five hundred. l did not think there
would be any further call for them this
session, but 1 guess we can get out an
other thousand for you by Monday noon"
Whether Rainey's little marker and the
cash that goes with 1t will prove potent
on election day depends upon the value
OF publicity. At any rate the Registrar
has been for some days informed of the
scheme, and Mr.. Steppacher is not stand
ing for any infraction of the election laws
