CITY POLITICS
City politics. so far as the Democracy are
concerned, have taken quite different ap-
pearsnce within the last day or so. 1t is now

Yosemite wing of the Democracy with the
Workingmen, truce is likely to be patched
up between the opposing clans of the De-
mocracy, and straight ticket be put up
headed by Frank McCoppin for Mayor.
There is also report that the Workingmen
will put up straight ticket, headed by Kal.

nation if rendered him, notwithstanding his
recent statement to his congregation that he

PROPOSED NEW RAILROADS..
For months past rumors have hoated
around that new railroads were being pro-
jected throughout the Pacific coast TO connect
San Francisco and other points with system
of overland roads from the East. Certain it
is that corps of surveyors have been running
lines in many localities, mostly from tie
southern seaboard to the Sierras, but the OBJ
jects of the surveyors have been kept so much
in the background that the public have had
no definite knowledge of the end aimed at.
nor any information who was the power be-
hind all this activity. Now, however, the
matter is assuming definite shape, and the
plans of the originator Of the new system are
developing Yesterday there were fled in
this city articles of incorporation of two
new railroad companies that expose the pur-
poses of the planner of the scheme. The
first incorporation is the California Central
Railway, San Joaquin division, capital stock
S6.000,000. The proposed railroad is to run
from the terminus of the San Francisco and
Ocean Beach Railroad at Santa Cruz, which
is to be built to San Francisco, to the
town OF Minturp, in Fresno county. The
second incorporation is for road from
the Fresno Flats to some point in Mcbride
Pass, Inyo county, on the State line, and is
called the Northern division of the California
Central The capital Of this road is put at
$500, 900. The same Board of Directors
are named for both companies, among whom
are Lyman Bridges, of this city, and J. H.
Kincaid, Governor Of the State of Nevada.
A RECORD, UNION reporter called upon a
gentleman of this city this morning who is well
informed upon railroad matters, and asked his
opinion upon the new corporations, and
whether they were part and parcel of the re-
ported scheme for bringing another overland
railroad to San Francisco. The gentleman
said that whether the projected roads would
be built or not the future could alone deter
mine, but that the two interpretations were
made for purpose was certain. sit has
been known in railroad circles for lorg
time" the gentleman said, that Jay Gould
has determined to control a trans continental
railroad. Some months ago he endeayorad to
make an arrangement with the Central Pa
cifc managers to obtain that road, in which
endeayor he failed nor could he offer in
ducements enough to get possession of either
the Central or Southern Pacific. Failing to
attain his object in this way, Gould set about
to accomplish his aim in another direction.
He began securing railroads in the South and
Southwest, the most important of which was
the system in Texas controlled by the late
Tom. Scott, and has finally succeede in map
ping out plan that will enable him to have
virtually two trans continental roads from
the Pacific Coast-one by way of Southern
Nevada to Salt Lake valley where it joins
the Union Pacific, and the other through
ARR ma, New Mexico and Texas to the Gulf
of Mexico, or the southern seaboard on the
Atlantic"
at this point the interviewed gentleman
called the reporters attention to dispatch
from Omaha published last Monday, in
which it was stated that prominent railroad
man had informed reporter that Gould had
perfected his system for his continuous over.
land line, and giving an outline of it. "This
railroad man." continued the gentleman,
twas none other than S. II. H. Clark. the
man of Jay Could and who runs
Gould's immense business in the West and
South. The fact of Clark's talking shows
that Gould has made up his plans, and that
he sees his way clear to attain his ends
Whether Clark has given the public correct
information of Gould's projects or not, every
one will have to judge for himself. The plan
outlined is to run road from Santa Cruz to
some point in Paranagat valley, Southern
Nevada, there to connect with the Utah
Southern (Gould's private property, and
another road to be built by the Texas Pacific
(another affair of Gould's), the Atlantic and
Pacific, and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe roads. Gould does not control the last
two named roads, but, as the dispatch says,
has made satisfactory arrangements with
them, and will undoubtedly be the boss in
the new concern. So" the gentleman
added, as was stated previously, if
Gould carries his plan out he will have
two ways of getting to the Pacific coast from
the East, at least as far as ParaBagat. By
this system Gould undoubtedly expects to
head eff the Central Pacific, or force that
company TO come to his terms. But here
he gentleman's eyes twinkled-" Jay Gould
will find he has the biggest job of his life be-
fore him before he captures the Central
Pacific people. They have their eyes open
know what they are doing; have some
money, and knowledge Of how to use it, and as
hey were raised in the woods are not easily
cared by an owl. What their plans are
nobody knows but themselves, as they are
loted for keeping their own counsel; but
hat they have taken measures to protect
themselves from Jay Gould can be stated as
fact, and that those measures will be
fectual may be stated as another fact
TEMPERANCE MATTERS.
Temperance people are very active and are
igorously at work spreading their opinions
pom the liquor traffic. The Woman's TEN.
erance Union have for some days been dis
-ibuting pamphlets and circulars upon the

srtisements are given away. The pamphlets
nd circulars are gotten up in good shape,
Id the temperance precepts are short and to
