A Close Call.

AS Frank Labounty who works at
Stacy's livery stable was eating dinner
Wednesday at the residence of Clarence
Hicks he was surprised to hear sudden
click in the south window which he
was facing. An examination showed a
bullet hole through the glass, although
no bullet could be found. As no report of
a gun was heard it evidently came from a
distance. This is but one OF several in
stances OF the kind occurring recently and
people who carry firearms should be care
full which way they point their guns

Raymond and Bartlett.

san Francisco Post, OCTOBER 2Stn
Colonel Creed Raymond could not make
a dull speech if he tried. His address at
Platt's Hall last evening was one of the
most brilliant of the campaign. He ar
raigned the Democratic party in a general
way, but found much more to say about
Mr.. Bartlett and the Wigginton political
heresy. He declared that the American
party was the outcome of a scheme to give
the water front over to the control of Buck
lev Wigginton's lifelong hostility to the
Republican party and his extreme views
when a Democrat lend probability to the
belief that he is at the head of such con-
spiracy. Bartlett's affiliations with Buck
ley are well known. He presided at the we'll
remembered meeting called by the Bush
street boss, and the Bulletin, whose repre-
sentative Mr.. Bartlett has always been,
has treated the Democratic boss with singu-
lar gentleness, and nov Endorses a Board
of Supervisors, School Directors end other
city officers whom il admits were nomi-
mated by the element which supports Buck
ley. We are compelled to believe that if
Bartlett should be elected Governor, it will
throw the State as well as the city into the
control of the pernicious gang who have
made the name of San Francisco by-word
for corruption hardly second to that of
New York. Without the assistance of
Buckley, Bartlett would not have been
nominated. A large element, without
doubt, wanted Reddy, and the rank and
file of the city Democracy were eager to
support him. Buckley valnly opposed the
nomination of Stoneman at San Jose, but
was more successful at the late Democratic
Convention in this city. No good citizen
can vote for Bartlett when there is a better
man in the field, Of whom not even his
bitterest enemy has had the hardihood to
say that he was under the control of boss
of any sort That Mr.. Swift is mo mans
man. his whole political record proves
