Ing and Doing.
SAN Francisco, December 80, 1892.
"White is sure to Win"
This is the opinion freely expressed in
both corridors and lobbies to-day, where
the chances of the Senatorial aspirants
are being freely discussed. After a night
of many conferences Whites supporters
and managers are in a position this morn
ing to speak more confidently than ever.
In support Of their claims they have facts
and figures that are indisputable.
For several days there has been great
hustle around the Senatorial headquarters
in the Grand and Palace Hotels, but now
there is a calm, many of the leaders hav-
inc departed for the State Capital. The
remainder will 60 tonight or tomorrow
morning. Is is now conceded by the
most astute political leaders in the State
that White cannot be defeated.
There have been many interesting feat
ures connected with this red-hot contest
for the United States Senatorship. In
such battles it has been customary for
dark horses to loom up significantly in
the background, but so far none have
appeared. From the start there have
only been three aspirants named-Ste-
phen NJ. White, W. w. FoOte and Jerry
Lynch. Some say that Lynch is not a
candidate to wear the Senatorial toga, but
the Egyptian explorer insists that he is,
and is already preparing to establish
luxurious headquarters in Sacramento.
One vote has been pledged to him, that OF
Senator Charles Arms OF San Francisco.
This small showing would perhaps dis
courage any man except the author of
"Buckleyism," but he is ambitious, if
nothing else. During the rivalry be-
tween White and Foote he hopes to slip
in between them and gain few votes.
The headquarters of White and Foote
will be transferred to Sacramento to-
night. Foote's most active workers here
have been Frank Moffitt of Oakland, w.
d. and Warren English and Attorney
Garrett McInerny. They don't appear to
have gained much during their manipu-
lations, but they promise to do some
clever work when the legislative ma
chinery is put in motion at the Capital.
This morning Whites friends had fig
ures to show that he would have a ma
iority of the votes from the southern and
central sections of the State, and many
also from other interior points. 1t is in
teresting to know that the entire Demo-
cratic Congressional delegation are firm
supporters of White; SO are the Demo-
cratic State Central Committeeman, with
only four exceptions. Among Whites
most active managers who have been
Iaboring so industriously for him here,
ramento. are EX- Mayor +. B. Pond, A.
c. Paulsell, Thomas L. Thompson of
Sonoma, Barney Murphy of San Jose.
ex-Judge James q. Mcguire. ex-Con-
gressman Tom Clunie, Harry Patton.
Gavin McNab and many members of the
Democratic State Central Committee.
At the latest caucus of the San Fran
cisco delegation this morning it was de-
veloped that the legislators are not
acting together and are not under the in
1uence OF any "boss.'' Chairman Ken
nedv of the delegation is a vigorous
worker for White and one of his strongest
hackers.
Here are the latest figures as to how
the mem bers Of the delegation stand on
the Senatorial contest. Among the As
senbly the standing is:
enty-eighth District-Cusick, strong
for w hite.
Twenty-ninth District-Boyce, strong
for White.
Thirtieth Distriet-Conway, strong for
White.
Thirty-first Overwhelmingly, the
most active worker for White in the
State.
Thirty second District-Buckley, out
spoken for White.
Thirty-third District-Hurley, working
for White.
Thirtv-fourth District-Luttringe par
ticularly active for White.
Thirty-tifth Observation-Disclosures strong
for " hite.
Thirty-sixth District-Bromley, for
White from the start.
Thirty-seventh District-Burke, Nom
Partisan, unpledged, but viii go with the
Democrats and is favorably disposed to-
ward White.
Thirty-eighth District Slessinger, pos
itiveIy for White.
Fortieth Observation-Disclosures is under
obligations to John Mackay, and it is
said had agreed to vote for any man
Mackay should name. While in New
York Senator Stewart, who is Foote'S
| brother-in-law, called on Mackay and
asked him to write letter to GodchauX,
requesting the Assemblyman to vote for
Foote. The letter was written in such
strong terms that Godchaux readily COM
piled. GodchauX is said to be the only
man in the San Francisco delegation who
is for Foote and as an excuse for his
actions he shows the letter from Mackay
/ to his friends.
Forty-first District-Curtis is I'M
pledged, but says he will most likely vote
/ for White.
Forty-seeond Observation-Disclosures is
one of the strongest champions Of Whites
cause in the delegation.
Forty-third Observation-Disclosures is I'M
/ pledged, and carefully refrains from ex.
| pressing preference.
1 Forty-hfth District-Gately does not
| hesitate to say he is Tor White.
