weapon to beat the party bosses, ana Will |
probably do 80 il he can manage to ally him |
self with respectable non-partisss element, |
OF course the break will not come until |
the party nominations have been made. |
Mr.. Buckley "points with pride to the
record Of the present officials" yet Mr..
Buckley does not propose to have them re-
nominated Mayor Bartlett voted for
Fogarty in preference TO Jim Flynn,
Buckleys choice for License Collector, and
40 Bartlett must be shelved. Buckley pre-
fers Strother for Mayor, but will probably
nut I'D Pond as the stronger man. Sesnon
must 90, Of course and Buckley's choice is
Jerry DriscoIl Auditor Edgar, who also
declined to support Fogsrty, is to be
shelved unless he can make terms, and iii
his place the boss will put up Mr.. Frost, late
of the Post newspaper, and candidate for
| Congress before the San Jose Convention.
rHR UNrrHD Stairs sENAroRsHIP.
But the main fight!will,, come on legislative
| nominees, who will have voice in electing
= United States Senator. The fight is
funny one, aud she candidates are Wallace,
Hearst and Delmas, while the only Repub
Ican candidate mentioned is George c.
Perkins Wallace makes no secret of the
fact that he does not look on the Examiner
crowd as his friends, and proposes to make
an independent fight. Hearst places his
reliance on Mr. Buckley, but Buckley is
only luzewarm champion. The trouble
is that Buckley does not like Greathouse,
Hearst's manager. Greath0use once went
back on Buckley, and that is an ofense the
boss seldom forgiyes. 1t was on the Police
bill, before the regular session of the
Legislature which bill placed the power
to appoint Police Commissioners for San
Francisco in the hands of the Board of
Supervisors - Buckley's Board. Great
house promised to support the bill in the
Enagniner, and furnish arguments for its
adoption by showing that the police force,
as then managed, was a rotten affair. One
article to that effect did appear in the
Ehanltne-, but pressure was brought, Great
house went back on his promise, and there
after was silent as the grave. Buckley was
left to make the fight alone. Greenhouses
slate Assemblymen and Senators opposed
the bill, which was beaten, and all Buckley
gained was the dislike of the police force.
He Will probably be avenged on Great
house for his untimely desertion.
PRACTICAL FRIENDsHIP-DULL TINES
But this is more than enough of poll
tics for one letter, | heard of Senator
Sharon during generous thing the other
day, worthy of mention. Poor Matt.
Caravan died in the Senator's debt, leav-
ing but little to his family Sharon had
his notes for large amounts, and the day
after the funeral not only made Mrs Can
avian q present Of the notes, but started a
movement to insure her pocuniary COM
fort for life.
Business is dull here, and merchants are
complaining. The bay is full of ships
that can get neither charters nor seamen.
1t is not hard to find reason for dull
times. Any merchant who is asked will
say at once, "The loss of the Oregon
trade" and men who in days past have
sympathized with every senseleSs howl
against the Central Pacific Railroad, are
now hoping and begging that the erst-
while abused corporation may extend its
Oregon connection and wrest back some OF
the trade taken by the Northern Pacific.
The tide has turned in this city, and TO-
day an anti-railroad ticket, on an anti
railroad platform, would run $4,000 votes
behind its party's strength. The howl
and the howlers have been given a chance
to keep their promises. They have done
nothing; times are dull, labor plentiful,
the labor market depressed, and the dema-
gogue has lost his occupation.
