From the SENTINEL's Correspondent
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. s.
EDITOR SENTINEL: Now that those
s.long looked-for letters of acceptance"
have been printed, the Republicans
are more exercised than ever, and, fail
ing to answer the scathing arraign-
ment of their own corrupt party and
President, simply say, ''why did they
wait so long?" 1t seems that the let
tiers are in time for the canvass-prob-
ably too soon for the corrupt admins
t~ration, and the greasy band of free
hooters on this coast. The Republic
ans have taken occasion to mention
the lack of enthusiasm on the part of
our party in this city. We have had
no cause to enthuse. Our candidates
had not formally accepted the nom
nation, and so our popular outburst'
was appropriately reserved. Our Re
publican friends may count on hear
ing from us from now until the cleo
ton; after that they will not be heard
from. The Republicans of this State
blazon it forth that the late 1ndepend-
ent crowd are in their possession. The
Independents have no separate polit-
ical organization, but they have not
returned to the Republican fold" or
any other fold. They are divided be-
tween the two parties - the largest
ncmber and the most respectable 60
ing 10 the Democratic.
The Smallpox Pest
Is slightly decreasing. From fifteen
to twenty cases per day, there are now
but five or ten reported. The majority
OF these cases are Chinese, and it has
been learned that the majority of the
Chinese afflicted with this disease are
SEM here from the interior for treat
ment. We will admit, for the sake of
argument and truth, hat San Fran.
cisco is the headquarters of all moral
degradation and social cantankerous-
ness of this coast, but just at this stage
of the epidemic, if Eureka has any
pigtails coated with this disease. she is
hereby invited to hold on to them.
There have been about fifty free vaccin-
alton offices established, and the scenes
in front of these puncturing places re-
minds one of an unwashed mob around
a bursted savings bank. About 1000
are yaccinated a day, and at this rate
the entire city will soon have a sore
ARM. Of course all young ladies, on
being ~vaccinated, scream. Your cor
respondent thought he would be effem-
inately fashionable, but 1t did not
stake" with the doctor. who does not
believe in such d. foolishness.
A Daily Democratic Paper
Will soon be issued in Oakland, "the
village just across the bay" AT a
meeting of moneyed Democrats the
other day it was decided to purchase
the late Sacramento Leader outfit at
3 5000, and it from the dead city
of Sacramento, where they appreciate
nothing but prize fights and beer cell
lars. 1t is not known who will wieldth
gray goose quill for this proposed or
gan; whether it will be the sprightly
little Laura de Force Gordon, or John
/. CHM. In the meantime the Democ-
racy of San Francisco are talking"
about starting an organ. They always
commence talking about it on the eve
of a canvass, but when it ONE to
putting up the money those who
have talked the loudest then have the
least to cay. OF the six daily papers
In San Francisco, the Democrats have
but one; and that n is printed like a
court circular for private circulation
among a few antiquated Democrats,
who are interested in "readiDg up"
the latest intelligence about the Ken
lucky resolutions of 49,"
The sham and the Real.
The places of amusement have been
doing a better business this week than
last, probably owing to the allaying of
the epidemic and the better safety OF
attending crowded halls, more than to
the attractions offered. 1t does not
make much difference what is on the
boards, provided the piece partakes f
the immoral and has a liberal display
of leg in it, and it will take like ar cpl
demic. The historical drama is a dead
failure-as far as the drama is con-
cered. A certain aMount of shoddy
have to go in order To say that they
have seen "Shakspeare's sublime pro.
duction;" and a grsa a. many lunatics go
who are "stuck" after the actresses,
or knock kneed. beef eating actors.
These, with a small per cent. of the
really a~ppreciative, make up the audi
ence. But, it is said, the majority of
the theaters are not making money,
barely paying expenses. They think
of reviving the "living statue" legiti-
mate drama. Police!
Leaves by the Wayside.
A large number of Nevadans is daily
seen on 'Change-and many without
any-looking at the stock bulletin
board, with variegated co%untenances.
Mrs. Marie Natalie Pollard AN author

famed for her %amiability and grace In
the social world. is writing a book on
California and Nevada.
The building for the "Big Board"
on Pine street near Montgomery, is
looming up like a mullen st Tx.
