SAN Francisco, July 29th.-Any dis
patch the RECORD UNIONS special COR
respondent might send from San Fran
cisco would be incomplete did it not mention
politics. It is politics everywhere. Mont
gomery street, from Washington to Market,
is crowded with curbstone statesmen; every
bar.room and every grocery in the city has
its attendance of prominent citizens willing
to put in season of labor for the people.
These patriots are loud as well as numerous,
and to hear them talk one would suppose
the success of the particular candidate or the
party these strikers support depends upon
their efforts. To the posted looker-on the
connubiating of these fellows is amusing.
The most of them really think they are of
Importance, but they are not, except at the
polls, where all can vote once, and good
many vote more than once. As to controll-
ing the nomination of any one for office,
however, these amateur politicians are not
much of success Chris Buckley and his
friends will run the Democratic side of the
political house, and no man can get on the
regular ticket unless they say yea. Tom
Desmond controls the Workingmen's party
through man named Love, who does not
labor for living. The Republicans are run
by three 1hen, who have "got their work in, :"
as the saying goes put up their ticket. and
are now waiting to see what the Democrats
and Workingmen will do, so that they can
get to work and fix things for the campaign
The boiling Democrats, or Manhattans, as
they call themselves, are run by Con. Mooney,
who wants to be Chief Engineer of the Fire
Department, and Owen Brady, who wants a
finger in the municipal pie for himself and
several other fingers for his friends The
boiling Workingmen are engineered by a
man named Muieahy, who is willing to be
County Clerk, and would take anything he
could get for a period or two. There are
several side.shows, but they are small affairs,
mostly conducted on the joint stock principle
for the benefit of a few who divide the small
sums they get as assessments from candidates
on other tickets who are willing to pay for an
advertisement. All these men will run their
machines for their own interests, and the
main body of henchmen will have to take a
back seat. A few OF them, however, may
get deputyshipin some county Office, which
as matter of course will have to be paid for
some way, generally in coin.
The Republicans are quiet. The ticket
is in the main satisfactory to the bulk of the
party, but there is nothing about the nomi.
nees or platform to create any enthusiasm,
and SO far as that party is concerned, the
contest viii not be anyway exciting. The
candidates on the ticket have arranged THEN
programme for the contest; have assessed
themselves and raised about $4,000, it i:
said, for the campaign, and have already. sc
it is further said, put some of the dollar;
where they have done good-that is, helping
the boilers on the other side.
The Democratic tangle is in fair way Of
being united. The State Central Committee
has stepped in, suggesting compromise
and if the suggestion be not hesded, viii
| order a settlement of the difficulties
between the warning factions. The plar
offered by the Central Committee is that the
County Committee, Yosemites and Manhat
tans each appoint five delegates to confer
ence committee, which shall settle all dis
putes. AS the County Committee and thu
Yosemite Convention are Chris. Buckley
| Con. Mooney and Owen Brady dom
see where they come in, and their follower
to-day are loud in their assertions that thu
where it is all raisins at one end of thu
pudding and dough at the other. This is al
| talk, for the boilers will have to come in
When the State Central Committee of tn,
Democratic party orders thing done, it hal
to be done and is done. The bolt now goine
on is Just such a one as was experienced il
1875, when Buckley and Al. Fritz maneu
yered so successfully against Brady and Man
nix Outsiders believed then, from the bit
terness with which the struggle was con
Quoted that reconciliation would be impossi
bic. But the State Central COMMITTEE
stepped in. ordered the war ended, and
ticket was nominated, the most of which wa
elected. 1t will be the same in this case
that is, the Democracy will be united, tn
success of their ticket, however, being prob
lematical. AS for the Workingmen, the,
will be settled with somehow, and it may b.
confidentially asserted that there will be Blu
two straight tickets this fall that will amour
TO anything.
ATTEMPT AT RECONCILIATION.
| Pursuant to the call of the Democratic
State Central Committee, that committee
the County Committee and representative
of the Yosemite aud Manhattan Clubs me
to-day to endeayor to reconcile the warrinl
elements of the Democracy. AS the Count.
Committee and the Yosemite Club are prac
tically one organization, the Manhattan
clicked" alleging that their opponents hac
double representation. AS the Manhattan
Club had taken no formal action in the con
ference on the question, an adjournment wa
had until next Monday, without having eff
fected anything.
THE NEW RAILROAD.
| uc uSHiJ cOdiuiu an
Mountain Divisions OF the California Contra
Railroad continue to be prominent topic o
conversation. a Cal reporter to-day had al
interview with prominent official of tn
Central Pacific, who stated that there was n,
doubt that the new road was being pushed b,
the Gould interest to connect with the Utal
Southern, and perhaps with other lines bein,
pushed westward.
THE FREIGHT MARKET.
Freights continue firm. There was a char
ter this week at GA, and recharter at "a Is Cd
both for the United Kingdom. The latte
| price is an extreme figure,
The journal Of Commerce has compiled
statistics which show the farmers of Califor
mia have paid during the past cereal year th
enormous sum of e1.970, 903 for freight t,
carry their grain to Europe, at an average 0
