Ways That Are Dark and Tricks
That Are Vain.
Gibson's Hunt for Party-John P. Irish's
Deferred Vist-Notes From the
Churches-Silver's Pardon.

Democratic. "goUd" Republican non-parti-
san candidate of their convention for Judge,
because lie did not receive the Republican
nomination, not that they love Colonel Glib
son for in times past abusing them as bad as
Horace Greeley had done, but because they
hope to run in Democratic straight-out
Judge with Gibson. Colonel Gibson would
spurn the imputation that saloon fight
is being made for him, but it is said to be a
fact that one or two well-known saloon poll
tcians are doing their utmost for him.
There same Democrats, while protesting
their love for Colonel Gibson as an old
soldier, put up the strongest man in their
party-McCleYert defeat Captain Hus-
sey. as brave soldier and with as honor
able war record as Colonel Gibson, for
Sheriff. The Democratic love for the old
soldier, as exemplified in Alameda County
politics, is believed to be not entirely I'M
selfish, and is only for the purpose OF gath
ering in some of the county offices.

ALAMEDA NOTES.
Conveyances Troubled Over Changes In
Street Names.
The following are the township nominal
tions on the Democratic ticket: Justices of
the Peace, William Ho.tz and George E.
Colwell; ConstableS, Samuel Orr and Oliver
Rogers.
One of the most noticeable Inconvenience
which arises from the changing of the names
of the cross streets to numbers is in connec-
ton with the drawing up of deeds. Many
persons who are called upon to prepare
these instruments do not seem to be aware
of the change, and during the past week
many deeds had to lie returned for correc-
ton. 1t is said that petition, asking for
the repeal of the ordinance making the
change i'll be presented to the City Trus-
tees this evening, but it is not likely that it
will accomplish any good. as three OF the
Trustees, Messrs. Everett, Volberg and
Neal, constituting majority. appear to be
convinced that the method of numbering is
superior to names, and are determined that
the ordinance will continue to be in effect
