The Democratic Club,

The Call of last evening lauds the sr-
ganiZation called the Democratic
Club OF this city and insists that it's
obiebt is ITO advance the iDterests of
true Democracy"
1t is secret organization and it's
members are each sworn to secrecy in
regard to lis doipGs and also that each
will support the Democratic ticket.
Tbis oath bound organization has
been gathering its members for
several months. and they are expected
TO vote any ticket its managers may
present to them.
Secret political organizations have
beeh and are considered in all govern
meUts as dangerous associations, and
they are usually reasonable. They are
secret because their doin2s and princi-
pals are such as will not bear the light.
They are oath bound because their
members, If left free to reflect and act
upon their convictions OF duty. would
repudiate the association and act con-
scientIously. So the leaders insist that
the members shall be sworn to vote the
ticket in advance OF the nominations
aud committed SO that they will be proof
against any argument of opponents.
Such an organization is not creditable
to the intelligence or patriotism Of its
members.
The candidates of the Democratic
party, for the legislature OF this county
belong TO this club. Honest voters,
beware of the N.

understood that William f. Wilson, q
capitalists heavily interested in Seattle
and Sound property, is at tie head Of
the syndicate, and that b cking it are
MessJs. Crawford, Griffiihs, Bell aud
Harding, wealthy residents If Sau
francisco. Negotiations are pending
between this syndicate ard the North
Pacific Coast railway company, of San

syndica'e of the magnificent sidewheel
steamboat San Rafael, lie speadiest
boat Of her class on the coast This YES
sci is now used by the railway company
as O terryboat boat between San Fran
cisco and San Rafael and Saucelito.
The San Rafael WAS built during the
Latham I'D ministratian Of the conpany's
affairs at cost Of over $3.50, 900. She
is undoubtedly the most substantial and
luxuriously fitted up boat Cf her kind on
the coast, and experts have pronounced
her the equal OF the eastern vessels. Her
passenger capacity is 25O persons, and
often on trips about the bay registered
speed OF twenty-One knots has been de-
yeloped by the boat. The purpose of
the syndicate is to buy the vessel and
