October 29. The Grand Jury Alameda County Parean of "The P.iamlnrr, 614 Broadway. Oakland. OAKLAND. October 29.

The Repulll-cans heard Henry T. Gage to-night In Oakland, They gave him a big reception, wtlh plenty of red fire, brass bands and richly uniformed clubs. Th meeting was held In exposure of the extreme carelessness that has been displayed by the Alameda county Supervisors In their handling of public funds and their neglect to properly check irregularities In other departments of the county government, covers no more Important feature than that of the dereliction of the board with relation to Constables and the exposition building. A. H.

Dreed, Chairman of the Alameda County Republican Committee, made the opening address, and V. -'JaV sH JSSB 9 .11 Dr. George C. Pardee) was chairman. The Gubernivtortal candidate soke for an Justices of the Peace.

Expert Dunshee has made a complete hour. He started off by denouncing the principles of bis opponent as anarchic and overhauling of the Constables' and the Justices' records, and has brought to light extraordinary Items of error which, the Jury revolutionary. "Lurking beneath the platitude of this pretended reform party," he announced, "are dangers to property and iiifiC' if! declares, can be accounted for only by the dangers to liberty." He declared that absolute negligence of the Supervisors to control properly the allowance of claims. James G. Magulre had denied sustenance to As to this the Grand Jury says: The claims of these officers (constables) not having been ripened since the spring of haa resulted in toe apparently maniitr as Indicated by the many errors in their claim.

Had they Iweu properly examined by the Auditing Otnuiltteo and tuelr ripert, it would one itopped the wrong that has lieeii practiced. For ei ample, claim bare been presented in which the (Blue service Is charged for Item by item In two cmit.ables' claim for the same month, and the soldiers who were battling under the American flag, and that James G. Magulre stood for the anarchic and horrible doctrine of single tax. Mr. Gage regretted he could not In the few moments at hla command explain why this was so, as he had to attend a meeting In San Francisco.

"Anyway," he said, "It Is worse than ten dry years In California, these sentiments of the party of my distinguished opponent." Mr. Gage reiterated that he was not bound to the railroad corporation, and reasserted that the railroad Is not an Issue of this they both passed the scrutiny of the whose duty it was to detect such errors; these Alsmeda Counlr Knr.su of "Th r.Mmln.r." 014 Proadwav. OakUnd. OAKLAND, October P. Huntington and the Southern Pacific Company want Henry P.

Dalton defeated for County AfpKor Just six million dollars" worth, for that Is the figure that Mr. Dalton haa raised the assessments of that and kindred corporations since he was elected to office four years ago. This is one of the reasons that the Southern Pacific Company Is in politics In Alameda county this year. It wants Henry P. Dalton punished because Mr.

Dalton redeemed his promises to the people. Those promises were that he would make the assessment roll of Alameda county a little more equal; that he would raise the corporation assessments and lower the assessments of the individual property-holders. If there is one thing that will force Uncle Collis and his railroad corporation Into, politics It is taxes. Mr. Huntington objects to paying taxes, and objects to any one who makes him pay taxes.

The fact that the Individual property-owners are benefited by this addition to his tax roll does Dot appeal to Mr. Huntington. Alameda county has systematically been robbed by the Southern Pacific Company. It Is the terminal county of all of the linet controlled by Huntington, and the roadt running through this sectfon are the most valuable In the State; yet Alameda county gets no more taxes from the railroad than does any of the interior counties where there Is but a single-track road, and all because the State Board of Equalization refuses to give Alameda county its Just due. But the very moment that Henry P.

Dalton went into office he began to look for railroad property that would help out the Alameda county roll. Then It was that Mr. Dalton found that there were 100 miles of railroad in Alameda county that the State Board of Equalization did not assess at all. Mr. Dalton told the people of Alameda county that he would try and assess the railroad fairly, and he assessed a portion of this road in Alameda.

This forced the State Board of Equalization to assess more road to Alameda county, and not cnly did Mr. Dalton assess the railroad locally, but he forced the State Board to increase Its mileage list by the 100 miles that Mr. Dalton found unassessed. By finding unassessed property and by Increasing the property that was already assessed Mr. Dalton has added $6,000,000 to the roll of Alameda county and has taken claim were paid a presented and when this jury inquired Into it the constable stated It was mistake In their claim being duplicated.

Ihesa mistake give opportunity to double up the fee all around. It baa actually happened that in jailing three prisoner at one time mistakes were campaign. What's absorbing man's attention to day is the made in the spelling or each and every name. The three prisoner yielded to the justice III In fee under their false names, and roore under their true one. The const side also got double fees both for arrest and mllegr.

The habit of making mistakes is usually con approaching election and the individual man's appearance. The appearance we take care of. Why sidered a bad one, but we lind In certain professions it becomes a source of gslo and rise to the dignity of a money-making talent. shouldn't we?

The above is one of them, only one of them; there's hundreds of others equally as pretty, but you must see 'em, and'one: of the topics among men to day is the at The Grand Jury makes severe attack upon the expert, Fred A. Davis, who held office for three years and a half, backed by Supervisor Church.

Upon this subject the report recites: On February 1, 1893, Mr. Fred. A. Pari wa appointed by the Hoard of Supervisors, at a salary "The only evidence there Is that the Republican State Convention was dominated by the railroad," he nld, "is that the San Francisco 'Call' published my name as the candidate for Governor the day before I was nominated. As the Issues of the campaign, my distinguished opponent and the San Francisco that great exponent of the Democratic part)', say the sole Issue of this campaign.

Is the railroad issue. They have taken that means to divert the attention of the multitude from the real Issues. The refunding amendment has nothing to do with It. I am sorry, but I have not time to go Into this further, as I have to go to San Francisco." Mr. Gage went, and be was followed by half the audience, and Victor Metcalf, the Republican candidate for Congress, was presented to a hall half emptied.
