EDS. Rec )RD UNION: The action taken
last Saturday evening by the Republican
County COMMITTEES shows, l am sorry to
say, that the would be bosses of the Repub-
lican party have forgotten the lesson
taught them last March. The g II for a
primary gives to the First and Second
Wards their old time buundaTI,s and de E.
gates, nut cuts the Third and Fourth Wares
INTO tour precincts.
The object is plain, viz: to give the
bosses and the b'hoys the same power IN
the county convention they have neTctD-
fore had. while the respectable elements Of
| The Third aud Fourth Wards are divided
in strength and reduced in representation.
| The appDTi0ument made is an arbitrary
one so far as the First aud Third Wards
are concerned, for Seventh street has never
so far been the boundary line of any
county election precinct. The officers Of
election named in the First Ward DC not
! carry confidence TO the mind of Repub-
| licauS-they do not assure the pGrty fair
primary and an honest count.
The Inspector. james Matthews, is an
| unknown person, and it is said that his
business is that of dealing faro III Wash
| ington. One of the Judges, John +. Dfe-
man, has been connected with altogether
| too many primaries in the First Ward to
please those Republicans who want Il

Why Mes>rs. Davis and Hancock, OF the

Alter the reading of the reports of Di-
rector LutIreil and Warden Aull, H. P.
Lvermore, Manager of the Folsom Water
Power Company. and P. A. Humbert, the
Engineer in charge, appeared before the
Board, and discussed at some length the
necessary labor requirements to properly
advance the work of Construction on the
dam and canal. An examination o: the
various departments of the prison demon
strated that $40 men would he the maxi
mum available force that could be placed
on the work. Both Mr.. Livermore and
Mr.. Humbert commended that this force was
insufficient TO properly take advantage of
the low-water season, beginning about Au-
gust lst. Mr.. Livermore explained that
his demand for 100 men, under the H G.
Llvermore contract of 1878, was in further
ance OF the canal work. He said that dur
ing the eighty or 100 days of the ioY-water
season he would place them on the dam
and qCarTying stone for the same, and at
the same time pay the State fifty cents per
day for each man, although the State had
already agreed TO furnish all the labor for
said work. To get the additional force at
this important period of the work he was
willing TO pay for il under the H u. Lv-
ermure contract during the low water sea-
sou, which would yield Il revenue TO the
State of s. 600 for 100 DAYS work, after
which he would work them on his own &C.
count.
The discussion lasted two or three hours,
without any conclusion being reached.
After some further routine business the
Board adjourned to meet at San Quentin
on August 18th.
