MR.. BUCKLEY'S BUSINESS.

He Is Not Here ON ANY Political
Lay.
A Times reporter, with that regard for
truth and that delicate attention to the
amenities of life for which all connected
with the Fort street journal are always
noted, has probably never lost an oppor-
tunity when Mr.. G. A. Buckley, of San
Francisco, has been in Los Angeles to in
dulge in certain congeries of low-fung
abuse at a person who happens to be
visiting the city, and to supplement the
same with similar TRADE of abuse
leveled at the head of what the Times is
pleased to brand as the hoodlum Democ-
racy. 1t is observable too that when
ever any person in this city who
is prominently identified with the in
terests of the Democratic party makes a
trip to San Francisco, the Fort street
journal is more than likely to regale it's
intelligent readers with column or so

persons have gone to Consult the boss"

correct and sagacious outgiving. The
latest instance of this sort appears in
yesterdays Times. Mr.. Buckley
is at present in Los Angeles, and there
fore the Times reporter tells the people
who read its news columns that he is
here to manage the local politics of the
Democratic party, that he has great re.
gard for Cuddy, and more of the same
precious sort of rot. Among other pre-
cious statements is that the hoodlum
Democracy will not let Mr.. Rowan be
nominated for sheriff if it can prevent
that event from occurring.
With these statements in hand a
HERALD reporter yesterday took the trou-
BILE to see Mr.. Buckley at his hotel, He
called that gentleman's attention to the
article in the Fort street journal and
asked him what he had to say of it.
Mr.. Buckley was not we'll yesterday. but
made an effort to get the points in the
article in mind and to reply. In answer
to the query he said: 5

friends, who are interested more than I

personal interest in my visit at this time

"Now, as to your politics here, do not
interest myself in them at all, beyond
that general concern which you might
take in the success of your party in New
