Denounced AS ABSOLUTELY FALSE
The San Francisco Chronicle gave from its
Washington correspondent Tuesday. with
all circumstantial detstl. an account of q
bargain, said to have been entered into
between Governor Stoneman and D. NJ
Delmas. whereby it was agreed that in the
event of the death of Senator Miller Mr.
Delmas would be appointed as his sue
cessor. In consideration for his Senatorial
appointment, Delmas, it was said, agreed
to renominate Stoneman for Governor II
was, to all appearance a clear bargain and
sale, to be consummated on the death
OF Senator Miller, who is reported to be
seriously i'll. The statement when
read here. was not credited No
one who is acquainted with Governor
StOneman could believe it possible that the
Chief Executive of the State of California
could have entered into such a contract.
The mind revolts at the thoughts of such a
scheme. Believing Governor Stoneman to
be gentleman who has scrupUious re-
gard for his personal honor, a representa-
tive OF the RECORD UNION was sent last
evening TO his residence 10 interview him
upon the subject. When the matter was
laid before him he said il was the first that
he had heard OF it, and denounced it as false
IN the most unmiStakable terms. 1t was a
fabrication without the semblance of truth;a
lie made out Of whole cloth He never
had talked with Mr.. Delnas or any of the
latter 5 friends in regard to the matter. and.
what was still more, he never had talked
to any one relative to who would be a

wants his denial published, and saws this
IS one OF the meanest and most contempt
lble falseho0ds that was ever circulated
about him.

THE CHRISTMAS TURKEY.-For the past
few days the local markets have been well
supplied with dressed turkeys Yesterday
farm wagons came in on every road lead
ing to the city loaded with choicest tur-
keys, both alive and dressed, and the same
were peddled about from door to door, In
consequence there was a tumble" in the
price OF turkeys, and many fine birds were
sold as low as 123 cents per pound The
raising ofturkeys has grown to be quite an
industry in the southern and eastern por-
tons OF this county, and in fact, is the
only sure crop against the ravages of the
destructive grasshopper. In the neighbor-
hood of Clay station this " American bird
is raised in immense droves, and shipped
in carloads TO San Francisco When per-
son takes into consideration the fact that a
drove of large fat turkeys is almost equal
in value to 4 similar number of sheep, and
raised on less than half the expense, they
Will realize that there is money in the bust
ness.
