THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
The Yosemite or Buckley Democrats
! scored point against the defiant Manhat-
tans Wednesday night, by getting the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee to issue a
ukase, directing both rival factions to cease
their pickering, and declaring all nominations
off. This ukase of the central organization
| raised breeze the evening it was issued, and
the breeze has increased to a regular tornado
to-day. The Manhattans are extremely loud
in their denunciations of the act of the Cen.
tral Committee, and say emphatically they
will not obey the dictum. They claim that
only eleven of the State Committee were
present when the manifesto was decided
upon, and that Buckley's County Committee
were called in to the councils of that COM
mittee. aad that the order issued was from
the Yosemite leader himself Upon
the receipt of the State Committee s
order Wednesday evening the Yosemite
Convention adopted it and adjourned
till Friday night to see what the Manhat-
tans would do. In a conversation with one
of the leaders of the Manhattans to-day, the
body would accept of no compromise except
a convention to be composed of equal num-
bers from the two branches of the Demo-
cratic party, and an agreed number of ap-
pointees of the State Central Committee,
the whole to make Democratic Municipal
Nominating Convention. He stated that his
fellow delegates were willing to be defeated
rather than be under the dominion of the
Buckley crowd. The Manhattan leaders held
meeting this afternoon to take the situation
under consideration. They were close
monthed about the result of their delibera-
tion, but it leaked out that they resolved to
maintain their present stand unless the other
side came to their terms
A member of the State Central Commit
tee said this morning that the committee,
though not yet agreed upon its line of action,
would appoint convention of probably one
hundred and fifty delegates-ffty from the
Yosemites, like number from the Manhat-
tans, and the other fifty to be selected from
the party at large and the Workingmen of
Democratic proclivities.
STILL IN sTATU QUO.
The Manhattan Convention tonight
adopted resolutions postponing action on the
State Central Committees order to suspend
operations until tomorrow night, to see what
the Yosemites do. The Democratic powers
hold Convention tomorrow afternoon to
consult, when definite plan of consolidation
will be adopted. A new nominating Con-
vention will be held on Monday next.
