when he told them he had none. they
knocked him senseless with a club.
When he recovered consciousness he
found his scalp had been taken by the

CLEVELAND AND HILL.

New York papers are full of the details of
an understanding between Mr. Cleveland
and Mr. Hill, the purpose of which is to get
Hill out of Cleveland's way for the Demo-
cratic Presidential nomination in 1892. Gov
ernor Hill controls the New York State Cen
trail Committee, and can if he wishes go into
the National Convention with his State at his
back. But Mr.. Hill is remarkably shrewd
politician, and not so blinded by self-conceit
as to obscure his national keenness of vision
He perceiveS that if he crowds Cleveland out
of the convention in 1892 some thousands of
Democratic votes will be withheld from him.
He realizes also that his reputation is State
rather than national Out of New York he
is but little known. He came into notice as
Mr.. Cleveland's Lieutenant-Goveruor. and
was promoted to the first place on the State
ticket when Mr.. Cleveland became Presi-
dent Mr.. Hill has concluded, therefore,
that il is better for him to serve term in
the Senate before making his appearance in
the Democratic National Convention as a
Presidential candidate. But there are OBJ
stacles in the way Of the election of any
Democrat TO the Senate from New York.
To secure a majority on joint ballot the
Democrats have to hold all the seats they
now possess and gain eleven now occupied
by Republicans. Mr.. Hill has selected the
districts he proposes to fight fer, but he re-
allies that the fight will be hopeless unless
the Cleveland Democrats will join heartily
in the work. The understanding that the
New Yo rk papers are talking about is that
Cleveland will help Hill to the Senate. and
Hill help Cleveland to the Presidential nom
ination in 1892. In pursuance Of this under
standing. or otherwise, Mr.. Cleveland has
again permitted himself to be interviewed.
From the report of this interview in the AL
bany argus it is clear that Mr.. Cleveland
wants to take up the tariff issue where he
left it in 1883. He has faith in that form of
free trade known as a revenue tariff as
Presidential issue. He says it takes a long
time to reach the understandings of the peo-
pie. The Judgment of our countrymen," he
says, 'haS been so trammeled, and their per-
ceptions SO clouded by preludices and ap-
peals to self-interest. that their apprehen-
sion of the true province of our Government
has been distorted, and they have for years
been led to believe that the conduct of pub
lie affairs might properly minister to their
profit not by securing general prosperity
founded on principle, but by giving direct
advantage to certain classes" Ii an idea
can be discerned in this mass Of words it is
that the protection policy is for the eXclu-
Sive benefit of certain classes, But the mill
ions of men who are employed in our manu-
factories at good wages know better.

NO EXAGGERATION.

Some of our citizens may believe that the
frauds committed in San Francisco under
the Buckley regime are far less than stated,
when in reality they are ten-fold greater.
The public could stand the million dollars,
more or less, which it is said the boss has
made from manipulating our affairs, but we
cannot stand the outrageS which are COM
mitted by men who are employed by him.
Consider the multitude of persons who are
selected to watch over the election. count
the ballots, etc. 1t is undeniable that there
are hundreds Of these men who are willing
TO stuff a baliot-box, or do almost anything
else to get their associates into office. IN
questionabiy many of the worst men in San
Francisco are employed about the polls on
election day. and if the candidates whom they
are striving TO elect obtain the positions
sought for, the disreputable element will
fill most of the Clerkships in the various de-
partments Such has been the case hereto
fore, and there is every reason to believe it
viii be even worse in the event of success
on Tuesday next. As we have suggested.
our citizens may stand being plundered to
the amount Of two or three hundred thou
sand dollars annually to enrich the boss, but
the more serious trouble is with his as
sistants, who are quite as anxious as Buck
ley TO enrich themselves at the expense of
the people. Men who will stuff ballOt-DoxeS
and rotten egg and mob their opponents
are not fit persons 10 be trusted with the
important offices Of this city. There is no
doubt whatever that some Of the men who
have been filling the offices in this city will
do almost anything to enrich themselves.

QUEER, Is IT NOT?

The Examiner is asked by an Alameda
subscriber so il says. why it does not sup
port John p. Irish, the Buckley candidate
for Congress from the Third California Dis
trct, to which that paper responds as
follows:
The Central Pacific Company brought him
John P. Irl,h) 10 California, and he has served
il faithfully since his arrival. Men who have
lived in California know what that means. They
need not be told that no man can serve both the
people and the corporation.
The Examiner has set forth these facts from
time to lime in the past. Ii has warned the
party against trusting him. Ii has demanded
that q man who is false TO every Democratic
principle shall not be given leadership In the
party that lie Is betTaylng.
With these facts before him our correspOn dent
cannot expect that the EraAiiler could advise its
readers to vote for Mr.. Irish, or could seek to
convert Republicans to vote for a Democratic
candidate who represents the opposite OF Demo
cratic principles. This Journal would only
ullify itself by any such course.
We have not much doubt that the ET-
dminer has been greatly assisted by the
Central Pacific Railroad Company. 1t was

MERCENARY JOURNALISM.

Our citizens have heard enough during
the last few days We should suppose, TO
convince them that newspapers which sell
their services TO the candidates who will
pay them the most money are totally I'M
worthy of credit. A newspaper proprietor,
it seems, asks all the way from $500 to
$1,000 for supporting candidate, no matter
what he may be. This is the kind of dis
interested patriotism which, it seems, gov
ems some of our newspaper contemporaries
in San Francisco. This election will en-
tighten the public in one respect at least.
1t will show whether our citizens can be de-
ceived into the election of Buckley's candi-
dates by hired mercenares or that they have
intelligence enough to trample under foot
such trickery.

SIEBE AND DAILY.

Editor Call: The time has come when
the citizens and voters of San Francisco
should repudiate bossism ana assert their
right to select candidates for office of their
own choice. The imagined grievances of
John D. DAILY should cut no figure in our
present political campaign. Mr.. Siebe is the
regular Republican nominee, well-known
business man, gentleman whom the writer
has known for fifteen years. having been
connected with mercantile house of which
Mr.. Siebe was partner. 1t is fortunate
for Mr.. Siebe and the Republican party that
neither the Evening Post nor Mr.. Daily can
find any flaw in his political or private life.
Any candidate who can pass the ordeal that
he has passed should be entitled to the con-
fidence of the voters of San Francisco, par
ticularly those who wish to break up boss
ism.
The writer knows from personal knowl-
edge that Mr.. Siebe belongs to no boss. Mr..
Sebe is not now, nor will he in the future,
be controlled by bosses. In the event of his
election his deputies will be selected by
himself. This commentator of Mr. Siebe
ought to entitle him to the confidence and
suffrage of all good citizens of Sar Fran
CISCO particularly those who wish to break
up bossism and insure clean politics.
Honest Republicans and Democrats, are
you ready to carry out this great reform?
Or will you divide your strength and permit
Boss Buckley to continue his tyrannical rule
over you?
Feliow-citzens, give John d. Sebe such
a majority that Boss Buckley will be re-
quired to take his lambs to pasture by the
still waters of his LivermOre ranch.
ANTI Boss.

A mis- FIT.

A Buckley contemporary speaks of Mr.
Markham as ''cowardly and untruthful
time-server" A man who bears upon his
person the scars of wounds received in de-
Tense of his country ought to be exempt
from the charge of cowardice. Intelligent
readers have observed that the most strenu-
Gus objections to the payment of pensions to
old soldiers come from men who took good
care not to incur the disabilities for which
pensions are bestowed; and upon the same
rule it follows that men who studiously avoid
danger are the most ready to charge those
who expose themselves to it with cowardice.
1t has been well said that man must have
some comprehension of virtue in order to
appreciate exceptional manifestations of it.

CUBAN CIGAR FACTORIES.

A Madrid dispatch states that several
cigar factories in Cuba have closed. The
cause is the Mckinley taIiff act The in
crease in duties on imported cigars decreases
the American demand for them. The
American cigar manufacturers will here
after make some of the qualities of cigars
that have been imported from Cuba. Free
traders dwell upon the Increase in the price
of imported cigars as a hardship imposed
upon the American people, unmndful of
the fact that larger number Of American
cigar-makers find employment in conse-
quence of the change. Probably the free
traders DO not intend to foster the industries
OF other countries at the expense of our
owD, but such would be the result of the
policy they advof ate.

TUESDAYS STAKES.

Voters should bear in mind that the cleo
ton on Tuesday will determine the political
complexion of the next House. If major
ity of Republicans are elected the new tariff
act will stand; if the Democrats get control
of the House it will probably be repealed.
The idea has been advanced by Democrats
who at heart favor protection that Presi-
dent Harrison will not sign bill substitut-
ing tariff revised ON free-trade principles.
But President Harrison may hold that the
people haye'a right TO the kind Of tariff they
want. II a Congress is elected Immediately
after the passage of the Mckinley bill, a
majority of whose members are pledged to
repeal it, the President might not feel called
upon to interpose veto. California should

TIE DIFFERENCE.

1t is the duty Of the Mayor to watch over
the affairs of the city. to see that the officers
filing the various positions faithfully per-
form their duties, TO see that suits are
instituted and energetically prosecuted.
Mayor Pond has done nothing of the kind.

Buckley. If he should, by hook or by crook,

does not want another Governor like The
last. We ought 10 have one who will veto

law are prosecuted and followed TO YER
diet. We believe that Colonel Markham is
a man who, if elected, will do this, and that
Pond would not. a reliable and competent
Governor could have done much to check
vicious legislation two years ago. 1t would
be great misfortune to vote man into the
office of Governor who has gone hand in
hand with Buckley and his wolves.

THE OLD TRICK.

MI Goad is not elected Mayor, O'Donnel
will be The trick was tried two years ago
and worked fairly well. The repeated as
sertion that O'DOnnell was Mr.. Ponds most
powerful opponent induced many good citi-
zens to vote for Pond. The chances of Mr..
Goad in the present canvass may be
measured in the fact that Mr.. Mcdonald
draws ali his support from the Democratic
candidate and O'Donnell more than half his
strength from the same source. The CON-
bined detection cam OF be less than 5000.
and may be 10000. If we take 1900 votes
from the number claimed for the two Demo-
cratic tickets the remainder will not place

strength.

THINGS TO THINK OF.

In municipal politics parties are only
measurably divided on national lines. In
San Francisco as in many other cities, the
real line of division is the dollar limit and
the principle it is based upon. There are
people who want to run the city in debt;
others who would pay as we go. There are
people who want high taxes and extrava-
CANT expenditures; others who would limit
taxation TO the reasonable needs of the city
government. If the Buckley ticket wins on
Tuesday there will be proposition to issue
bonds submitted. The Buckley platform
provides for it and it is well known that all
the Buckley organs favor it. With S10,0O0,-
COO in addition to the ordinary expenditures
of the government to have the handling of
Buckley would be hard man to beat two
