Martin Kelly Sheds Tear Of Regret and
Says Reorganization Is Not Needed
at This Time.

Republican caucuses were plentiful yes
terday They were held In the morning,
afternoon and at night. and as near as can
be ascertained the result Of all these DELHI
erations is that at the meeting Of the County
night, not only the chairman, DR.. Meyers,
and Secretary Lee will either resign or be
deposed, but that a complete set of new off,
GERS will be elected and a new executive
committee will be appointed.
The men most prominently named as be-
ing slated for the chair DR.. Meyers now oe-
cupies are Irving Nj. Scott and Munroe
Greenwood, while Frank McMullen of the
Changers Bank is said to be the man who
will succeed Secretary Lee.
In political circles il is said that II this
plan is carried out tomorrow, as there is
every reason to believe that 1t will be, il
means a complete Waterloo for the Kelly
faction. but the men who gathered around
the Third-street headquarters last night
would not ADMIT that such is the case. They
Claim that IL the County Committee Is reOr-
gained tomorrow it will simply be to make
matters harmonious, aud that the Burns
wilson crowd will have nothing to do with
bringing ii about.
Martin Kelly expressed his views by
strongly advocating DIR. Meyers and every
the County Committee and by declaring it
shame that so worthy a man should be
asked to resign.
The Third-street boss talked at length
about what he terms the uselessness Of re-
organization at this time. 1--WE have a good
committee and efficient Ulcers. and there is
plenty OF work for them 10 do immedi-
ately," said he: ''wby they talk about
making changes cannot see"
Ii was openly stated yesterday that f. s.
PlIlsbury had on Friday asked avery ona n
the % members recently added to the
County Committee to sign a pledge to the
effect that they would vote to Gust DR.. Mey-
ers and that he had successfully persuade d
great many of them TO make that promise.
The new executive committee OF the Re-
publican County Committee Will. it is ru-
mOred, Immediately after its appointment
be asked 10 draw up plan of action and to
report back On Wednesday night when, if
amendments to their report are proposed.

A GRINDING MONOPOLY.
The Southern Pacific Determined
HarnAa Poor kattIers.

The Southern Pacific Determined to
Hsrrss Poor Settlers.
One Of the owners of the lands In Fresno
County now claimed by the Southern Pa
cilic as grant lands FOR the extension Of its
line from Huron TO Alcalde. called st THE
CALL Office and submitted a few interesting
facts bearing upon the case. The gentle
man showed letter from the General Land
Office in Washington, from which we copy !:
You are advised that the protest Of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company against
your timber-culture entry - was
dismissed by Office decision of September 6,
1889. A motion filed by the company for
review OF such decision was denied. Ac-
cordingly it appears that said cOmDany's
claim to the land covered by your entry has
been eliminated, and that it no longer Is a
bar to the completion of your claim thereto
under your entry"
This letter is dated December 8, 1890.
About that date. fearing the Oppressio n of
the company, the gentleman, anxious to be
safe from its power. called on Mr.. Ma dden
OF the Land Department of the Sou thern
Pacific Company and offered to pay the
company So 90 an acre for this land, but Mr..
Madden responded that the company cared
nothing for the rulings of the Government
Land Department. and claimed to own the
land that it would place its own price
thereon and would compel payment In full
oil its own prices. aud now the gentleman
epprehendS trouble and expense. He
states that the plan of the company Is no
longer to contest applications of patents, but
to let them issue. then institute proceedings
of custer at distant courts and to contest
the validity OF the patent upon the grounds
that the lands are railroad grant lands and
not Government lands. The same gentle
man says that the railroad company refuses
to pay taxes on any of these lands, as an
examination of the county records will
show. He states that there are about 5000
settlers and half million acres involved;
that the expense OF a trip to Los Angeles
where these suits are brought is from $50
to $50, and that many of those summoned
cannot raise the money TO attend and will
lose their case by default, even IL they
could successfully fight the company il they
attended. They must attend, employ at
torneys, 60 home on continuance, and keep
on returning and going home indefinitely.
always at heavy expense, just to satisfy the
greedy hate and yindictive spirit of the
Southern Pacific Company.
No information concerning the action of
the railroad company was received at the
what appeared in THE CALLS kilograms
yesterday. 1t was stated, however, by one
Of the officials there that the company had a
perfect right to sue the occupiers, even
where United States patents had been is
sued. on the ground that the Government
had no right to dispose of land which had
been previously reserved to the railroad.
District Attorney Garter was also seen by
a reporter but could add nothing to the
information contained In the telegram. as
the suits have been Instituted in the United
States District Court for the Southern dis
trict Of California.

RIVAL CoLoRED CLUBS.
The Afro-American League Now Antag-
onize the Ing ,llttes.


II Is not generally known TO the public
that there are now two colored Republican
clubs in the field, but this is the case. The
Ingalls, Club was established as long ago as
1883, but the new institution, which desig-
mates itself the Afro-American League. has
but recently sprung into existence.
Needless to say great amount of jealous
rivalry has sprung up between the two
clubs, and the Afro American League has
boldly asserted itself as supporter of the
Burns-W ils0n end Of Republican politics.
a number of Crimmins and Kelly's cOlored
henehmen were at the meeting held In Ger
mania Hall last Monday night. and when
several Of the orators denounced the Third
street nabobs trouble OF the worst kind
seemed imminent and 1t was not without a
great effort on the part of the peaceably dis
posed members that bloods she'd was averted.
A member of the ingalls, Club was seen
by CALL reporter yesterday and stated
that the general opinion was that the Afro
Americans had acted ia very bad taste in
showing bias on one side or the other at
the present stage. Our club" SAID be,

The bond election yesterday passed of
quietly. A light rain commenced falling
early in the forenoon and continued until
about noon. The total vote was about 900
short OF that at the last election. The result
was the Endorsement of the issuance Of
100000 in school bonds by vote of 1929 TO
A7-the total vote being 4076. The total
vote on the park and boulevard proposition
OF S80O,G00 was $685., of which 3l42 was for
the bonds and 3213 against-a majority Of II
against. As 1t required two-thirds. the park
and boulevard bonds were defeated by a
large vote. about 99o The anii-bonders
are jubilant and those In favor of the park
and boulevard much disappointed.
The facts of a romantic story have Just
come to light. Shortly after the close of
the civil war, George Williams, q survivor,
and young woman were married at Dixon.

children born to them. who were named
Maud. Frank and May. The ex-soldier
was school-teacher. In 1877, he took

her name properly is, is now in Oakland. A

Mrs. Meenie Williams from Nebraska TO

ceptor, that he was dead and had left her
with seven children, his son Frank and six
others. She wanted assistance 10 get a
pension. The story was written up in the
Dixon papers and one was sent to Maud.
She wrote to Frank and he returned answer
that he would come to California and visit
his sister In few weeks. Miss Richmond
