Democratic Pedirrees.

DeHOcFatiC ItUiSfets.
The San Francisco Post has ransacked |
the archives of the Democratic storehouse,
in which are held sacredly the deeds of her
illustrious sons, and gives the following in |
formation and pedigree of the nominees,
etc, of the Stockton Convention
Barclay Henley, the Congressional candidate |
in the First District, is lawyer OF Sonoma, VINO
is now serving in Congress from the old lhlrd |
District. He is an ultra Democrat, and IS re- |
garded as one ofthe best stump speakers III the
State.
: Glascoek who has been renominated from
the Third District, is a young Oakland attorney !
who has not distinguished himself particularly |
in the House. He went in on the tidal wave OF
last year. He received the nomination because
he had once before led the forlorn Democratic
hope against Page.
Hastings, the candidate from the Fourth Dis
trict never occupied any position but School
Director. His record in that capacity is too well
known to need special reference.
Frank j. Sullivan, the nominee from the Fifth
District, is young lawyer, born and raised in
this city, who was elected to the Senatorship
from the Thirteenth District in 1882. 1t is the
first Office he has ever held He has plenty OF
means TO make the kind of a contest dear to the
Democratic heart-a money hight ms father
leaving million and half behind him. His
father-in-law, James Phelan, is popularity re-
puted, and probably is, worth between N0OO,Oo0
and s., 100000
r.

in 1880 when he was returned to the Assembly
from his native county. He Is held in high es-
| teen by his party associates. He Is now sena-
tor from Los Angeles Del Vale is lawyer
with good practice. He is not over 30 He
has been regarded ever since his introduction
into public life as a promising young man, occu-
pVing about the same relative position TO the
| Democratic party that George A. Knight does to
| the Republican.
THE DELEGATES.
William Dunphy is a rich cattle dealer and
wholesale butcher of this city. He is one of

| and dealer and the same gentleman whom
Stoneman is said to have promised to make
| Harbor Commissioner. In conjunction with the

bitter feeling between the "chiv" and the
| a. Efr To ic ort6 IN ba SbO >
| It is unnecessary to add that he has an Unborn
hatred of the 'ehiy."
Louis Holtz is the Assessor Of this city. Ev-
| erybody knows he is.
| Maurice Schmidt is equally well known. He
was formerly stockbroker, and, having made
| his pile, had the good sense-which was want
ing in so many brokers-to keep it and embark
in legitimate enterprises. He is at the same
time running the Sutter Street Railroad and the
politics of the Tenth District Buckley is sup
posed to be the boss, but he is only Sehmidts
lieutenant.
Judge Lawrence Archer, of San Jose, is one of
| the wheel horses of the Democracy. He is one
] of those few sturdy men who, early in Halght s
/ administration, backed that Governor up in his
tilt against the corporations He was the author
| of the Archer bill which created such row in
| the Legislature eleven or twelve years ago, and
out of which was evolved that Railroad Com
mission in serving upon which Stonenan made
his first appearance in this State on the stage OF
civil official life.
THE ELECTORS
Charles k0hler Is OF the WINE 1lrIn OF k0nIer
| d Frohling. He has lived here since the days
| when the water came up to Montgomery street.
| He has grown wealthy making and selling wine.
| Mr.. Kohler was an ardent Republican until the
last campaign, when he turned Democrat be-
| cause he imagined that the Republicans wanted
| to smash in the head of every wine vat in the
| State. Mr.. Kohler it may be observed, is quite
mistaken but remains Democrat all the same.
Dr. }. c. Shorb is the DemoSthenes of the
party. He can throw off longer sentence than
any man in the State. He has never been
| beaten at that but once and that was when in
| the Buckley municipal convention, two years
| ago, Major E. b. Stonehill the Demosthenes OF
the Nevada Democracy-Major Stonehill was
imported here at great expense-in nominating
| an unknown lawyer for Mayor, used one sen
tence in which the words " man who'' oc-
| CURED Sixty-two times.
c. P. Berry, of Suffer, has been Assemblyman
| from Sutter, Speaker and twice Congressman.
| He essayed step higher at San Jose two years
ago, but was laid out by Stoneman. He is not
| dead for all that; he only sleepeth-with the
party.
Tinnin, of Trinity, is familiar name It
| bobs up serenely whenever there are offices
| lying around loose III the Democracy. Tinnin,
| however, is an able man; has been hOnored by
| his party and is worthy of any honor il can
bestow upon him He won't get anything this
| year, or next, however
| j. G. Martin is an Oakland politician. He is
| no relative Of the eX-Mayor of that place who
was short time since politically annihilated at
| the polls by the Republicans.
George I. Marye Is a stockbroker who inner
| tied million from ms father. His ldentlhca-
| ton with politics. which began several years
! ago as Chairman of the Democratic County
| Committee has been as pronounced Buckley
| ite. 1t is one of the political anomalies that
| man with Maryes tastes culture, education
| and ability should wallow III the political muck
| of the Bush-street saloon. Anold satirical poet
said something once about principle being made
the sport and plaything of ambition Marye is
! generally credited with Congressional aspira-
| tions but Hastings got in ahead of him. In all
| probability il is not in Maryes nature to get d
| nomination dscTedltably. or perhaps Hastings
| sack is too long. Ii is always the longest pole
