Republicans Confident.
REPRESENTATIVES of The CALL yesterday
looked over the field of battle in this city
and found that everything is looking well
for the success of the Republican party.
This is particularly true of the municipal
ticket the BuckIeyites not having hope.
Their most desperate fights have been for
the offices of Sheriff and Assessor, and even
O'Brien ana Krelihg were feeling despond-
ent last night. Many of their friends, who
heretofore have been active, went home
at an early hour last night, giving as an ex-
cuse that they desired to be ready for TO-
days work
Business men, mechanics, laborers, and
citizens of every calling and occupation,
called at the Republican County Committee
rooms Yesterday to volunteer their services
as guardians OF the baliot-bct, and to express
their devotion TO the interests of god gov
eminent, represented by the Republican
ticket.
The headquart ers of the Republican State
Committee con tanned many OF the leaders of
the party, but. as. the fight had been made.
they had little to do except to figure on
Colonel Mark hams majority in the State.
1t was estimated that the Republican NOM
ineeS will come to San Francisco with at
least 10000 majority, and double that is
claimed by some of the calculatOrs.
The scene in the Democratic state Gen.
trail Committee-roOms was notably in con-
traSt with that to be seen in the Republican
headquarters. The rooms were almost
dark. and Cleye!and's Autograph gloomily
frowned down on handful Of anxious ex-
pectantS, who were busy hoping against
hope that lightning might strike at least one
or two of their candidates, and thus afford
them a crumb of comfort in the political
Sahara which stretches out before them as
bleak and desolate as free lunch-counter
depleted by the onslaught of a Buckley
Democratic convention
This was how things looked in the reced-
tion-room, but ever and anon the jiDgling of
coin, ming ed with the merry laughter OF
the bOodler, could be heard floating from
the inner recesseS of the committees apart
ments The door was well guarded, how
ever, and only trusted Sack-bearers were al
lowed to enter.
EDesperation distorted the countenances of
the men who filed the Buckley County Com
mittee roGm and the brows of the chiefs of
bureaus were clouded as they looked over
the motley array of thugs, hoodlums,
suffers. heelers, hobos, eX-convicts and
future felons, who had congregated to re-
celve orders for to-mOrTows work. 1t was
a dark array, for it represented all that is
left Of Boss Bnckley'S guerrillas. The
desperation and the clouds were superin-
duced, not by the fact that so many crimi-
nals were present, but by the fact that

mand his cohorts. That Incompatible cor
ruptionist, that Napoleon of bribery and in
limitation, was reported to be lying off at
the Maison Richie, suffering from an indis
position. brought on by trying TO drown his
sorrow in advance of defeat.
Buck has throwed up his hand" said one
committeeman, dOlefully. ''He has quit like
a steer and left Us to handle the gang. OF
course he refuses 70 put up a bean. He
never did let go of a nickel of his own, but
he used to make the big bugs in the party
pungle. Now he says all the Doodle has
gone into the State fight. We can't work
these boys without bullion, and he knows
it"
In opposition to this it was reported that
yesterday the United States Sub Treasury
and the banks were called on by Buckley
Democrats for a great many bags of 81 30
gold pieces and rolls and rolls of 81 green
backs.
II was evident however, that with or
without money the Democrats are getting
ready for the forlorn hope, which is all that
is left them,
