WHERE WILL KELLY LAND?
His Name Is Odi0us to Decent
Republicans.
Colonel Dan Burns Says He Will Never Let
Go Until the Third Street Bosses
are Defeated.

Mike SNitn anu lNuel DOtU ueD9 most ELL
phaticaly that they have jpined forces with
Martin Kelly, but as no charge of that kind
has been made the denial is little prema-
ture. Ii was reported that they would go
to Kelly. and time alone can tell whether
or no the prediction is true. Smith states
with great positiveness that so long as
Colonel Burns is in politics he will stand by
him. but Ruef is not quite so emphatic
Some light may be thrown on the sltua-
ton by calling attention to the statement of
Martin Kelly that he did not want Ruef
and tlfat he could not reach Smith. who was
a valuable man in politics This. probably.
is about the way the matter stands at pres
ent. 1t is sure thing that Ruef made APP
plicaton to the Third-street bosses to be
admitted TO their camp on an equal footing
with "Blinker" Murphy. but Kelly refused
70 consider the proposition, saying that as
Ruef had no following he would be OF no
assistance in aiding him TO carry out his
schemes. Concessions were asked for but
could not be obtained.
BURNS STATES HIS POSITION.
In relation to the recent decision OF the
State Central Committee Colonel Burns was
seen yesterday and said: Zone thing is
settled, Of course, and that is that we will
not send c0ntestlng delegation 10 Sacra-
mento. This is done in Difference TO the
fears of number of friends, who are in a
state Of great anxiety lest our doing so
would endanger the national ticket. OF
course / am just as strongly opposed TO the
methods of Martin Kelly rs | ever was, but
i do not care to be placed in the light OF
trying TO defeat the Republican electors in
the State. AS it is We shall continue our
organization IN the city, and our hall at
lois Market street will be fitted uD in a few
days. Whether we shall go so far as to put
an independent ticket Ia the field remains 10
be seen. but So far as | am personally con-
cerned think the people viii wipe Kelly
oil the face of the earth at the polls"
There is no doubt of the fact that Kelly
IS the most unpopular man In town at
present because OF his uDs IVORY methods,
and he will find it difficult, 1t is believed, to
get go0d men 10 take his nominations. In
fact, Kelly has deceived the people long
enough, and il locks now as If they were in
open revolt. More and more talk is heard
every day Of a peoples movement and it
looks now as II il would come to that before
the campaign ended. 1t is plainly 10 be
seen that per cent OF the voters can be
Induced To sign petition to have such a
ticket recognized by the Election Commits
slOners, aud that would make tue situation
very interesting for Kelly and his Doodle
disciples.
THE RAILROAD INFLUENCE.
Since the crumbIiBg 10 pieces OF the
Burns committee cause for it has been
lUOheu LOT. anu IL low appears tIldt tn6 TWO
men mostly responsible for it were Bin
Stow and Dick Chute. The former, Of
course, Is the political mOuthpiece of the
Southern Pacific, ad Ctute is his Gany-
mede. Together they carry out the plans
which emauatr from the great monopoly at
Fourth and Townsend streets. and il is now
plainly evident that they desire two things.
One is the supremacy Of Martin Kelly in
muu ipal affairs, ana the other is the cleo
tioa OF De Young to the Senate. This
would give them grip on the situation
which X would be hard 10 break, ana would
enable them to direct legislation to suit
their own selfish interests 1t is even
stated on what NAV be regarded as reliable
authority that De Young has entered into
an agreement with Huntington whereby
they are to render each other mutual as
SiStance. The basis OF the understanding
Is that in return for HuntingtoH's support
De Dung, if elected, Is TO vote for such
legislation as the railroad may desire, in
Guiding the Pacific roads funding bill, with
the single reservation that De Young fol-
low his OWN inclinatioGs as regards Chi
nese immigration laws. There are thou
sands of Republicans in the Stale who
believe that the compact has been ratified,
and that both parties will do all thin
their power to carry 1t out
PILLsBURY WANTS A SHARE
Another story which is going the rounds
is TO the effect that Pilsbury has demanded
Ho Ahc piI-c VI MS SuppoEN 10 the Nelly
CTimmins-De Young combination that he
be allowed 70 dictate the nominations for
Mayor nd Supervisors in order to protect
the interests Of certain great corporations of
which he is the attorney.
Another part OF the bargain is that Charlie
Alexander shall be given the nomination
for Congress in the Fourth BY Martin
Kelly aud this will probably be done The
railroad wants 1t aud Kelly needs the
patronage which Bassett and Alexander As
Harbor Commissioners will be able 10 give
him.
Only one snag has been found In the way
and that is the fact that LIQUIDS friends are
demanding the denomination Of that gentle
man for Congress. Kelly has intended to
bestow the honor on NJ. A. Dorn, but the
latter IL is said, will not accept and now in
order TO placate Loud's friends the latter
may be given a chance to make the race
again
