AN OPPORTUNITY.
How Two Good Republican Legislators
Can Be Secured.

Editor Gail: The Chronicle seems to
be much exercised over the Likelihood Of a
Democratic Legislature being elected at this
time by Republicans refusing TO vote the
straight Republican ticket. Now, there is
an opportunity offered for the Chronicle to
prove It's sincerity in It's desire for Repub-
liean Legislature in the Twenty-frst Sena-
toriel district This district comprises the
Thirty-seventh and Tbirty-eighth Assem-
bly, districts, extending from OFarrell
street south to Market and west from Lar
kin to the ocean. No two districts in this
city con tain so large population owning
their own residences; no portion of the city
of equal population is more intelligent, and
the district is strongly Republican. The
late so-ealled Legislative convention, domi-
mated by Kelly and CrImmins, nominated
Tor Senator J.. Fl. Van Setback, at one
time president of a malodorous school
board, and who could not have
of his district been consulted. They also
nominated young man named Mathews
for Assem- blYman for the Thirty-eighth
Assembly district, whose only possible rec
ommendation could be that he is an expert
ballot-box manipulation for the bosses.
Let any honest man interview the resi-
dents of the districts for which those men
are nominated and he will find that three
fourths Of the Republicans will absolutely
refuse TO vote for these candidates. On the
other hand, the Non-Partisans have nomi-
ma ted Monroe Greenwood for Senator and
c. H. Forbes for Assemblyman, both sound
Republicans, who represent the best inter-
est Of the community socially and iDtellectu-
ally. Mr.. Greenwood Is large property
owner whose word Is his bond In every
phase of life. Mr.. Forbes Is bright earn
est and honorable young gentleman who
is honored and respected by all who
knew him. We're neither of these gentle
men candidates and no other Republicans
in the field it would be impossible To elect
either Van Shack or Mathews, as the mass
Of the Republican party would not vote for
them; but were they out of the contest
Greenwood and Forbes would both be
elected. thus securing two Republican men,
bers in the next Legislature.
Now IL Mr.. de Young Is sincere in his
supposed anxiety for Republican Legis-
lature and the consequent election Of
United States Senator, he will use his in
auenee with Kelly and Crimmins to have
Messrs. Van Shack and Mathews with
drawn and thus assure the election or
Messrs Greenwoo and Forbes.

LOOKING FOR Jumps.
An End owment Concern That Has FaiIe

An Endowment Concern That Has Failed
to Endow.
Two years ago the Eureka Endowment
Association came into existence and gained
much patronage by giving subscribers to
understand that by paying a number Of
small assessments they would receive $500
in large lump. None OF these large fat
Jumps have materialized to date and discon-
tent is breaking out in the ranks of the sub
scribers.
l.. G. Schord is president and Louis Knell
secretary OF the association. which has its
headquarters in the Phelan building. They
are drawing good salaries, but are not pay
ing out any 5000 Jumps. Several cases,
however, have been compromised where the
prominence of the parties might lead to
trouble. They settled with Mrs. Kate J.
Whats TOR $3.50. which was about the sum
she put into the association.
A number of other cases were settled on
similar basis, among which was that of ex-
Chief of Police Cockr!ll. +. Caponetti paid
in $500. and as the lump" does not ma
ture until next April his mind is filled with
strange forebodings. Some of the dssatis-
fed ones have declared their Intention OF
bringing their cases before the Insurance
Commissioner.

are simply as Perfect as it was possible to
make them. Everything is ready for the big
meeting which opens on Saturday.
Already there are nearly 200 horses at the
track, and every day now will bring fresh
arrivals. The Sacramento contingent arrived
yesterday. The principal stables now quar-
tered at the Bay District are those of b. c.
Holly, Matt Storm, Jones and Bybee Dan
Miller, w. OBJ. Macdonough, Porter Ashe,

horses, however, are already well known TO
San francisco race-goeis, and as yet there
are few newcomers.
The directors of the Pacific Coast Trot-
ting-horse Breeders Association have rein
stated B. ID. Phillips, as explanations have
been made with regard to the two mi le-heat
race which throw considerable doubt on
the statement that Phillips deliberately
pulled Laura B. 1t is the general opinion
among horsemen that Phillips was more
sinned against than shining, and he is re-
ceiying the congratulations of his numer-
Gus friends on his speedy relnst atement.
Races are now frequently held on the
new Vallejo track, and are largely attended
by the Inhabitants of that sporting little

AN OAKLAND INVENTION.
Said to Be Posslbie for Electric Cars T.
Cross DrawbrIdge.

Said to Be Possible for Electric Cars to
Cross "A Drawbr!dge.
A method has at last been discovered, so
says Patrick McKeever Of Oakland, whereby
il is possible for an electric car TO cross
draw bridge and still maintain the current.
The great difficulty has heretofore been
that the wires could not be connected be-
tween the bridge and shore In any manner
without leaving the switch open and allow
ing the current TO 60 TO waste while the
bridge was open. Mr.. McKeever has sur
mounted this obstacle by having the wires
RUE under water to the center of the bridge
and from there to the top and back to the
end OF the bridge, where there is only a
distance OF one inch between the wires of
the shore and the wires on the bridge: this
distance makes DO difference to the trolley.
whose size enables it to pass from one to
the other without losing the current.
BY this invention there is absolutely no
current lost, as the wires are always Joined,
making one continuous wire from one side
TO the other, enough slack wire being left
to allow the bridge to open without break
Ing them The slack Is held taut by weights,
which Immediately carry it into the mud
upon the closing of the bridge.

The present campaign is not as lively as
some have been in the past, and the misfOr-
tune which the nation has suffered in the
death of the first lady In the land" will
certainly not tend to eniven the last days
of the political struggle, particularly in the
city of San Francisco. But, although the
battle for political preferment has been a
rather quiet one, it has nevertheless been
characterized by an earnestness of purpose
which has clearly demonstrated that the
majority OF the citizens are determined to
elect men to office who are the best fitted 10
fulfill the requirements Of the positions to
viii CHI they aspire.
For this reason Charles S. Tilton probably
occupies the happiest place among the
