POLITICAL GOSSIP.
The Democratic MalcOntents Will
Push Matters.

The announcement that The promised revolt
against Boss" Buckley had materialiZed has
caused decided stir in political circles. and IL Is
rumored that another telegram has been dis
patched to Buckley urging the necessity for his
immediate return TO San Francisco His lieu.
tenants are badly frightened over the outlook,
and fear 10 make any move until they hear from
Buckley himself.
A prominent Democratic politician, who is
supposed TO lie Identified with the movement,
discussed The matter quite freely yesterday aud
among other things said: " The present revolt
against The corrupt methods of Buckley and his
henchmeu is being undertaken by men who fully
realize the peculiar aud great difficulties In the
way OF their success. This feeling OF discOn-
tent, which has been engrndered 10y the H.
famous practices uI the past, Is not cUnfned 10
faction but Is widespread.
"There are In this city to-day hundreds of the
better FL ment of the Democratic party who are
heartily SICK OF The manner IN which they have
been dealI with, ard stand ready To cooperate
IN any movement aimed 10 break the power OF
This man Buckley. II was to secure the aid OF
such men that the present movement was organ
lied, and they Will be asked 10 sigu the pledge
printed Yesterday morning.
"You Will see by looking at the form OF pledge
that IL is the intention 10 endeavor at least To de-
feat the boss methods at the primaries and fail
ing in this TO knife the ticket at tile polls. OF
course DO one lmagnes that IDe former can be
accomplished. BY means of his paid 'heelers
and rock rollers Buckley can easily carry the
primaries aud can dictate ticket TO suit him.
self: but II an organized effort Is made, as 1t Will
be, lie will hnd II another matter to elect the
ticket after 1t Is nominated.
1--WE all know that If the patronage Is taken
away from Buckley his power as boss
would be gone, and the only way to take the
patronage from him Is 10 defeat the men whom
lie names for the various offices. You can safely
put 1t down that the men bacS Of the movement
are not indulging In idle threats, but intend to
do just what they say. and that Is 10 vote against
any ticket dictated by Buckley. 1t Is to be sup
posed, of course, that his first move will be TO
make bid to buy tile leaders of, but If they Will
stand out and refuse to come 10 terms they Will
make IT very warm for him.
"Nhen the names OF those In the antl-Buckley
movement are announced 1t Will be seen that
there are some fiTst-cass men among them that
will give stability 10 the organization. In very
few days, i understand, things will be In such
shape that there need be no further necessity for
secrecy. In the meantime they are hard at work
and are moldng things into such shape that they
will give surprise 10 the public"
1t was ascertained last night that the work OF
securing signatures TO the pledge Is being pushed
with great vigor In the downtown districts. and
