QUINN ON The RACK.
lie Has Been Dropped by The
Alliance Leaders.
De Youpg's Peculiar Work Shown Up-stump
viii Not Bo Chairman Of the State
Central Committee.

Quinn has become a political 0utcast ana
alta conference of the members Of the ALI
ance held Yesterday afternoon he was cast
adrift to look out for himself. This action
was due to the charges Of treachery which
have been made concerning the outcome Oh
the Stockton convention.
In the light of later events it becomes
more and more evident that Burns was De-
traved in the De Young and Estee hghI, ana
"a a consequence he is still angry. lie
pOints TO the fact that De Young was elected
bv the votes of men who were elected on
the Alliance ticket. and this in the face OF
the fact that positive instructions had gone
ont TO vote for Barnes and Estee. Had the
programme been carried cut as originally
planned and as expected by Burns both
would have been elected and De Young
would have been h0pelessly lett.
Quinn has but one excuse for his actions
and that is that Rideout, whom be placed
in the fight is his uncle by marriage:
Said q Republican last night: There IS
where Quinn is TO blame. BE was trusted
by Burns aud agreed TO stand in on every
proVOs itiOn. His word %as out, ana IL was
believed that he would carry out ms con-
tract. Had he gone to Burns with the eX-
PLANTATION that Rideout was his friend ana
that he was for lTsm no fault would nave
been found, and some change IN the plans
wonld probably have occurred. Instead Of
doing this Quinn secretly worked Tor Rloe-
out, and wnen the critical time came De-
tTayed his friends. There IS where the row
6rst started"
MIKES UGLY SCHEMES.
De Young's methods are none the less
respectable, as shown now by those who
were in a position 10 watch the course Oh
events. His promises and threats seem TO
have been scattered, from what Senator
Heacock would call IRON the stormy out
posts Of MendOcino to the placid shores OF
san Diego"
In San Diego, for instance, he resorted to
his old methods. He discovered that the
delegation were for Bowers Tor renomIna-
ton, and this he used to great advantage
To the members from the county he sent
word that unless they voted for him be
would refuse 10 aid them IN Their congress
SIGNAL fight. The result was II votes IN
stead Of g. as originally intended.
SO far as Butte County was concerned he
changed his tactics.
a will take up The hydraulic question"
said he to them, unless you give me your
support, and l will ruin your county"
This netted him four votes, but the other
five refused TO submit to his unmanly threats.
Then he turned to Sacramento. There
he found that enc OF the delegateS-W. A.
Anderson-was a candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for the Legislature and this
advantage he lost no time in sezng.
Threats of burning up had the effect of
frightening MI Anderson into line, and
many of his delegation went with him.
So too in MendOcino be managed to
frighten ssemblyman SturteYant, who is
a candidate for denomination. until the vote
of MendOCinO was given to him.
Throughout the eniiIe fight is to be found
the same traces Of threats and implied
blackmail, showing that fear, treachery
and ayarice we're the instruments employed
instead Of popularity
