Wants To Know.


Tomorrow, March 4th, Grover Cleveland
will be inaugurated as President of these
United States, as the Democratic reform
and civil service exponent Tuesday,
March 10Th, there will be held in this city
an election for Second Trustee and several
other officers. | observe that the Repub-
licans have taken notice of such election
and have made arrangements tor their pri
mary elections and the holding of nom
mating Convention. also notice that the
Democracy has, as yet, taken no action in
the matter. Why this mastery inactivity?
Has the Democratic party City Central
Committee or is the committee dead
If dead when did its funeral take place,
and where is its place of interment? If
living, are its members in sympathy with
Mr.. Cleveland and the party? Is the COM
mittec cogniZant of the fact that for several
days since, the Board of City Trustees is
sued an election proclamation calling for
said election, and that the same has been
published in the press of the city? The
Board of Trustees being Democratic should
not keep this important matter from the
members OF their Own party and if they
are attempting to do so, |, for one, would
be in favor of their impeachment. If
the Democratic Central Committee is
CpENlZdnt OF InlS TACT why nave tHtl ldhcll
no action in the premises? Can it be true
that they intend following the tactics OBJ
served ut the last school election, when H.
NJ. Blackwell, their candidate, was de
fcatcd because of the fact that the Central
Committee failed to distribute their tickets
until after II o'clock on election day? Is
there some underhanded trickery on the
tapis, whereby the Chairman of This Cen
tral Committee hopes to be reelected TO the
position which he has not filled satisfactor-
lily to the rank and file of his party? Can
it be possible that this committee
conspicuous at this time for its in
| activity. has formed a coalition with
! certain rings in the Republican
party for the purpose of selfaggrandize-
ment or in the interest of any particular
candidate? II this apparent state of affairs
is the situation i'll the case stated, the
sooner the Democrats of this city under
stand the true inwardness of their Central
Committee the better it will be for them
and the party. Query-Is it true, as leaked
ont to-day, and as commonly talked on the
street that Mr.. Gutenberger is TO be put up
only 10 be knocked down by consent OF his
profcsscd friends ~ for the benefit of the
boss ringsters of the Republican party?

A New Business FIRM.-S. W. Mckim
and w. |. Orth have associated themselves
together for the purpose of dealing in fancy
goods. under the firm name of McKim d
Orth. at No $50 J street, southwest corner.
The manner in which they will conduct
their business is an entire departure from
the usual custom The firm will deal ex-
clusively in fancy goods, making ecialties
of each department. Sacramento has long
felt the need of just such an establishment,
and ladies who have shopping to do know
how to appreciate an enterprise of this
character Sacramento has number of
dry goods houses, but not one fancy goods
store where kid gloves, aces, corsets, en-
broidery ribbons, hosiery, etc, are the
speciality. Messrs. Mekim and Orth are
well known and require no introduction to
the public, each having been connected
with two of our largest dry goods houses
for many years.
