COLD RECEPTION OF SUITS

We were right in saying in an Issue of
. day or two ago that Senator Booths
reception in San Francisco was power
ty-stricken failure, or words to that eff
feet. Our Interpretation of the matter
is fully sustained by the Chronicle which
paper having breathed the breath of po-
litical life into Mr. Booth would. if it
lied about him at all. lie in his favor.
Says that highly influential and truthful
journal:
The reception and serenade to Senator
ian ovation" The number present to
hear him could not by any figure of rhe-
toric, short of hyperbole, be termed "a
crowd" and the subdued meekness with
which his little speech was listened to
was undisturbed by the faintest ripple of
enthusiasm. 1t is somewhat strange that
the Senator seems to have lost the popu-
lar hold which the Governor possessed,
but such appears to be the fact. There
was no "kindling element" either in the
address or the audience. One thing.
however. is shown in q very clear light
by this abOrtlve demonstration, and that
is the miserable weakness of the INDIE
pendents in San Francisco. The Bulletin

oracular vein when speaking of what

or of future events generally. said:
ct is expected that the Senator will

is general and is shared by nearly all clas-
ses Of the community
