TWO MORE READY TO JUMP.

The detection in the ranks Of the fol-
lowers or the Third-street bosses contn-
ues, and their men are falling away from
them by the score.
Martin Kelly is simply frantic when he
contemplates the situation. and the result
Is that for once he has lost his head COM
pletely.
Last night when he learned that his fol-
lowers were DESERVING him he proceeded at
once 10 fill up on steam beer until he
reached his carrying capacity.
AS a politician from the water front ex-
pressed ii to-day. Martin was loaded to
the Plimsoll mark, and making himself
about as offensive as he could"
People who know Kelly best realize that
this is one of the best indications possible
OF his weakness. for whenever Kelly real
ICES that he has The losing end of any fight
he invariably develops an immediate and
enormous appetite for steam beer drawn
sharp.
Aside from the falling away Of his two
county Committeeman, Bacigalupi and
Chandler, 1t is stated on authority which
cannot be doubted that two more members
oil the organization are getting ready 10
stand from under. They desire just at pres
ent that their names should not be made
public, as they hold places In the City Hall
ana would be discharged If 1t were known
they had gone over to the Nom Partisaus.
Nor Is the break liable to end there. The
entire fabric which Kelly has erected at 16
Third street, and which he has had the
cheek to call the Republican party, is fall
ing about his ears and within week he
will stand in the midst of the ruins.
Nike de Young will lend him shoulder
upon which TO weep, and Crimmns has
kindly volunteered to wipe away the tears.
They will be the only ones lett when it is
over, and when Kelly goes back to his junk
SHOP no one Will miss him.
80 greatly discouraged are the bosses over
the outlook that ii is stated as fact by
gentleman who knows the inside that orders
have gone out from the ginmil at 16 Third
street to let everything on the ticket go with
tho exception Of Battner and Lee.
The county clerkship and the Sheriff's
Office, they say. must be saved at any cost,
and the heelers have been told to "stuff
out, or count out" as they can.
DO anything to save the two offeesi"
that is the despairing wall, but the chances
are two to one that Blattner and Lee will go
down with the rest.
The hardest blow that Kelly has yet re-
ceived Is the detection of Committeeman
Chandler. who Is power in the Forty-fifth
District, and who has been in the past re.
lied upon by Kelly to make the fight in that
section.
Considerable credit Is due to Chandler.
too, for he is an employe of the municipal
government. and has rlsked the loss of his
position. This fact might well have deferred
n less courageous man, but Chandler could
10 longer stand kelly's raw work"
"The fact of the matter is" said he yes
terday, that the time has come when all
good citizens should stand in with the Nom
Partisans aud down the bosses.
There has been too much rough work
done in politics already, and the city suffers
accordingly.
People are tired of the rotten way in
which affairs have been conducted. and
they are going to take matters into their
own hands"
From all over the city comes the same
story, and il is plain that the bosses have at
last been done for. Kelly and Crimmins
and Sullivan and Dwyer see that their fol-
lowing is slipping away. and that defeat
surely awaits them.
