Sacramento Tcdghs at the Bay.
Chris. Buckley ls nothing, if not first
class colonizer, He is gathering in lambs
from all oveg the State, in order to carry |
San Francisco. The Chronicle of yesterday |
says:
On last Tuesday dispatch was received
froo. Sacrament at the Republican State
Central Committee rooms conveying the
Information that six young roughs had
been sent by that mornings train TO San
Francisco, with instructions to report at
the Tammany headquarters, on Bush
street. This dispatch was placed in the
hands of detective, who at once proceeded
as far as Oakland to intercept the coloniz-
ers and shadow them TO their holes.
The detective expedition proved Sue
cess. In one section of the incoming train
were found six tough-looking youths, whose
faces would do honor to the rogues' gallery.
The detective, having located The men, re-
tired and watched. He was rewarded be-
yond his expectations. The Sacramento
delegation OF Buckley ballothox suffers
landed at the foot of Market street. walked
along that thoroughfare to California street,
which they followed 10 Kearny street..
There they halted and, after short consul
tation, entered g saloon On the north side
of the street and seated themselves at one
of the tables. Noon being at hand, they in
dulged in lunch. In the mean time the
detective managed to eeat himself at the
adjoining table and, taking copy of the
Chronicle, pretended 70 be absorbed in lis
contents, at the same time drinking in
disiointed conversation which was being
carried on by the Sacramento arrivals. The
| first remark which caught the detectives
ear was from the elder Of the gang who
was heard to say:
well, boys, this is the worst lunch well
have for q month, you bet
Another of the colonizers answered by
saying:
"Oh, dry up, you - sardine,
Clipped in another. What in h-n have
you got to do with residence? You do as
you're told. What were we sent down
here for, anyway"
Another of the gang answered this in
the parlance of toughs, by saying: " We
come to snuff 'em out, and keep on the
weather side of the crib" Meaning OIL
the outside of the State prison.
Say asked another, where in hi
is Tammary. anyhow"
It's On Bush street, near Montgomery,
answered the leader, refreshing his mem
ory from card which he took from Ill:
vest pocket.
Having disposed of thei: lu3ch and twC
glasses of beer each they lighted their cigar
cites and left the place, followed by the de
teetive. The coloniZers headed direct fo
Bush street, and, having located the Tam
many headquarters, remained outside OF
the sidewalk for about twenty minutes
when man VINO came up Bush street from
Montgomery street called the lsGaer of th'
ELu5 - one side, and, ailei Il brleI conversa

leading to the Tammany rooms, wher
they remained for thirty minutes, at tn
end of which time the leader appeared OF
the sidewalk and his five companion
gathered round him, and after a short con
versation the six went direct to a lodging
house in the Nineteenth Senatorial district
where they were assigned rooms and wher
the detective located them.
These roughs, with others. are spotted
and it is well known that they have bee
brought here from Republican counties
where their votes would not do any good
! 1t is proposed to vote them in every down
town precinct, where cheap lodging-house
offer just such inducements. This sam
: line of tactics was reSorted to four ear
f ago, when tne Republican State Centra
Committee had its corps of detectives o.
the alert, their labors being rewarded b
the arrest and conviction of seven mer
who were sentenced TO imprisonment i
s the State Prison for fraudulent registration
| and voting.
The same fate is in store for all thos
t who attempt to do likewise this year. Th
, colonizers each and all have been locate,
by the detective, and will, on their first al
tempt to register or vote, be instantly al
rested and prosecuted in the Federal Courts
where the boss influence is not known no
recognized.
