card Of M Sykes, tie Republican nominee iol
Senator Mr. sykes comes oat frank : and &c
fines his position on the Bulkieal question
We do not understand Mr.. Sykes 10 be opposed
to Bulkhead for the harbor Of San Francisco
if the work were to be done properly and by the
proper parties, but to be opposed to sacii swind-
ling schemes as that eoncoctcd by Parsons and
pushed through the last Legislature. We TN
derstand him to say it is better that 70 Bulk
head be CONSTRUCTED, than to be put under the
control of swindlers and sharpers to the detri-
ment Of the progress Of San francisco and the
State.
