THIS ES WORSE YET.
Four Imported Nominees for
Supervisor.
TWO HAILED FROM ALAMEDA.
Boss Material Was Found to Be Scarce
in This City.
One Of San RafaelS Bright Ornaments Is
accredited to The Seventh Ward
by Kelly.
The sOr. of material of which Supervisors

The sort OF material of which Supervisors
are made seems to be unusually scarce in
San Francisco at this time. At least the
bosses who named the tickets OF the two
regular parties seem to find IL so. for in
making up their list Of names they were
compelled for some mystic rious reason to 60
across the bay to iEd men.
Two of those nominated live in Alameda
County, one in Marin and fourth moved
three times before he could find a place
from which Martin Kelly was willing to
nominate him.
The most brilliant example Of the mu-
nicpal carpet-bagger is II. r. Robbins.
whose home is in Fruitvs lie. and who has
been chosen by Martin Kelly TO misrepre-
sent the Fifth Ward in the Board Of Super
visors.
Robbins record is peculiar.
He is the manager Of the Coralline mills
on New Montgomery street and is one of
Martin Kelly's closest friends. For the last
six months he has been the prize pupil in
the night school at 10 Third street.
He it was who made the motion to in
crease the County Committee to 100
members on the way down from Stockton
when Crimmins hired the special train TO
Cut-general Burns.
More than this, Robbins was of great
ries down in the Twenty. eighth District
The polling place was located in his MILL
and he allowed big gang OF heelers to
sleep in the place in order to crowd the OBJ
position out in the morning when the polls
opened.
The job was neat one In its way and for
his reward Mr.. Robbins was named for
Supervisor.
The would be supervisor lived In Fruit
vale. but thatcut no particular figure. Even
the directory gave Alameda County as his
residence, but then rOom-rent Is cheap in
San Francisco and it was an easy matter to
hire small room at 12S Montgomery street.
1t was not much of room. but it was
good enough TO constitute q residence for
man who had comfortable quarters in Fruit
vale and did not need to sleep on this side
of the bay.
Another Importation Is Henry p Sonn-
tag, who has pleasant home in San Ra-
fael and prefers quiet country life to the
hum aud thrOb OF great city.
When Mr.. Sonntag found that Kelly
looked upon him with favor he deserted his
rustic villa and took quarters at the Palace
Hotel.
AS the election is near at hand he can
return to his home in a few days.
Victor du BOee. S34 Eddy street, Is what
the directory says about Kelly's nominee
for Supervisor in the Seventh. Mr.. Duboce
is an ambitious young man, and moved his
place of abode three times before he could
ind a vacancy on the slate.
The Fifth aud Sixth wards had been pro-
vided for, so he went over to the Seventh,
where he now claims TO live.
Eddy street may claim him for her own
again in couple of weeks, as the chances
are that the people of the Seventh Ward
will repudiate him almost unanimously
Another importation is George McGil-
ivray, whom Sullivan and Dwyer selected in
the Fifth. Mr.. McGillivray is a very nice
young gentleman who wears gold glasses
and has been tor long time a fayorite in
Oakland society.
In fact, he has lived In Oakland so long
that ne Is almost universally known in that
quiet city, and when he came over to San
Francisco on the 9TH of August and regis
tered at the Russ House his loss was greatly
regretted.
The sorrow turned to rejoicing, however.
when the beaus and bellies OF Oakland
learned that the genial George had no in
teDtion of deserving them, but took the room
in question merely as a blind. His resi-
dence is not given in the directory.
Now. these are few samples of the men
named by the bosses TO conduct the affairs
OF this great city.
Tie question is will the voters stand it, or
will they snow the carpet-baggers under2
