NEW PARTY RULES.
Both Wings OF the Democracy Preparini
for the Campaign.

Both Wings OF the Democracy Preparing
for the Campaign.
The question of who shall run the Reor-
ganized Democracy in this city has not yet
been solved. but the leaders are still at
work on the problem and trying to get
along without the assistance Of the other.
Steps are being taken for the formation Of
new rules, with the aid of which the coming
campaign will be conducted in manner
compatible with common decency. Both
sides are formulating rules.
The independent wing claims that the
rules necessary for the government OF
small body, such as the reorganizers origin
ally were, are entirely too narrow Tor the
government OF the Democratic party to-day.
There is nothing now OF the Recognized
Democracy, they FAY, except the division
sOme of those people wish 10 create. Those
people" are The Sullivan wing, which aspIres
10 the machine in politics, scheme which
the Independents or McNab faction aretry-
Ing TO combat
The Independents admit that If Buckley
were dead his name would no longer be
used for political purposes. and they feel
that this gentleman is AS dead In San Fran
cisco politics as he ever Will be. 1t is not
from boss past and gone that the indie
pendents tear decentralization and cOmpeti-
ton, but from q new boss who would rise in
his place clothed in the mantle OF virtue
and with mouths overlooking with their
OWN R0OuOeSS aOQ SeI-DGalSSs
As one prominent Independent remarked,
1.-THE people who persist in stalking the
ghost of Buckley before the public are
actuated by the motives that induce a man
to set FIRE to q house and rob it himself"
They further assert that when men like j ack
ManDiX, whose name calls up quaint re-
membranes in San Francisco politics, set
up as anti-machine, anu at the same time
insist that Democrats shall not vote at
primaries unless under their regulation and
direction, and by their permission, the pub
lie becomes disgruntled.
A free primary voting on its rolls the in
dependents claim would result In free con-
vention, composed of respectable delegates
that would select ticket the election Of
which would make the first cre0itable and
satisfactory government that San Francisco
has had for years. A primary conducted to
pack a convention obedient TO the demands
OF any set of men would result as every
other boss-ridden convention has resulted,
namely, In the installation of unworthy men
In Offices of trust
In the language of an INDEPENDENT leader
their warcTy is: For what did we reorgan-
iZe? Was it for our own profit and enjoy
ment or for the good of the people of san
| Francisco"
| The question is still "what?"
