necessltated large outays OF money. But IT. was
spent in vain. The railroad interest was badly
overthrown in San Francisco, where 1t made its
most determined fight. 1t being understood the
champion OF Chinese emigration, Gorham-a piece
OF very small timDer-was to be elected United
States senator instead Of the able lawyer and
statesman Cassery II the administration party sue

OF the scheme, including Billy Carr.
"BILLY' CARR TEMPORARILY SUCCESSFUL.
The Republican Convention made its nomna-
tons. The Morning eau (republican) stated that
each candidate was pledged TO the support OF stan
control OF the Convention; that no one was NOM

SPLIT IN THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
The Democratic Conventions was IN continual
beSinnnS. the aght here was more in reference
to the SenaOrship than the railroad but the latter
was against Senator Casserly's reelection. The
democrats received the cooperation OF the liberal
reiormers, who number'in their ranks some OF the
ablest men that once belonged to the republican

selves Ito vote for bill regulating fares and
equal and JUST that It viii viii vote for no man

A ticket was nominated and meeting 70
ratiiy the nominations was called. The name OF
Mr.. Casserly WAS announced among the list Of
speakers; but that gentleman did not attend, nor
did he send any communication to account Tor his
absence. This showed that the candidates were
to some extent In the Central Pacific Railroad IN
terest and 1t was not long before the Democratic
Convention, elected to Nominate candidates for
municipal offices, presented second iuil eglsla-
tive ticket In the interest OF Senator Casserly This
could not be, all knew, successful and the anti
| monopoly candidates were put In the field, ten OF
whom are favorable to Casserly, and as stated,
elected.

THE DEMOCRACY UNITED OUTSIDE THE CITY.
The democratic party remained united outside
OF san Francisco and must have returned con-

But the republicans were divided In the INTERIOR.
