A TRIANGULAR FIGHT.
The KumOr That John II. Wise VIII
w ithdraM Not 4. mnded ON act.

The Kumor That John III. Wise VIII
Withdraw Not F. unded on Fact.
The triangular struggle for the chairman
ship Of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee grows more bitter as the days 90 by,
and John II. Wise, Max Pepper and ex-
Judge Sullivan are realizing that in their
opp nents each has men we'll versed in DO
litical tactics. The first two candidates
think that Judge Sullivan should have an
nouneed his candidacy earlier, and not wait
until this late date.
A Tumor was in circulation yesterday that
a party of Judge Sullivan's friends had
waited upon John II. Wise at his house on
Friday night and offered him the nomna-
ton Of Mayor il be would withdraw from
the chalrnaDship contest IN favor of Suli-
van. The rumor created considerable feel
ing in the camp of the other candidates,
who thought such trading Of municipal
Office for political ends were in accordance
with the tactics of Boss Buckley, and not
atall in cOnSOnance with the notes of purity
recently chanted by the recognized De-
mOeTacy. Sulivan's friends denied the ru-
NOR, and declared he was making his fight
Cd the squarest basis.
John IL. Wise, when seen, denied that any
such meeting had occurred at his house. or
that he had been offered the nomination of
Mayor. lie said the rum0r grew out of
meeting on the street with one of Sulllvan's
friends who asked him 10 withdraw in favor
Of Sullivan. Mr.. Wise said lie was not go
ing 10 withdraw, that he had as many
friends In he committee as his opponents,
that he had weighed his chances before he
entered the fight. and believed that he had
as much probability Of winning as anybody
else. lie said lie was in the race before
Judge Sullivan ever conceived the idea of
getting the place, and that Judge Sullivan
should have ann ounced his candidacy at
Fresno.
The fight will consequently be a very
warm one. Max Pepper is not saying much
but IS doing a tall amount of work. Judge
Sulliyan's friends are working like beavers,
and John ii. Wise is not idle. Among the
adherentS Of the different candidates more
feeling is being developed than among the
candidates themselves. 1t is not generally
known, but still 1t is fact that at an infor-
NAL meeting which took place recently at
the Grand hotel, the members of the State
Central Committee agreed not to organize
and elect officers until July 2. This Will
cause action TO be deferred until after the
adjournment of the Chicago Convention.

THEY WAITED FOR HIM.
Warm Reception Given i. II. Davis Upon
Returning From spree.


Returning From spree.
Here he comes"
Now. then. get ready"
"All together; let him have it,"
These and other threatening remarks
greeted |. II. Davis as he crept up the stairs
Of his abode, 916 Montgomery street, early
yesterday morning. Against the protests
Of his wife. daughter and her sweetheart,
who rooms Ia the house, he went out Sat
uTday night TO have time" He had it,
and upon returning he was trying to ma e
quiet SNEAK" on the family council. Upon
encountering the trio-wife, daughter and
sweetheart-he steadied himself, strOked
Good morning." said he, intending to end
the conversation at that point, so far as he
was concerned. Itdid not end there, how
ever.
"Wretchp' screamed Mrs. Davis.
"Brutep shrieked the daughter. ''Vil-
a'n!' shouted the sweetheart, and before
Davis recovered from the surprise Of the re-
ception the trio was upon him in An undig-
nified assault One struck him on the head
ard face with a broomsticb, another
scratched him, while the third pulled bis
hair and whiskers. During the scrimmage
he fell down and the three sat upon him.
They then pummeled him TO their hearts
content.
With blood streaming from his face
Davis skunk away 10 bis room. At coon he
awoke and made his way to the Receiving
Hospital. While numerous Commissions OF
the head and face were being bandaged he
related his sad experience with the trouble
some trio. lie now swears by the great
horn spoon that he will drink no more in
Il xicatirg beverages, and that the daughter
shall never marry the pugilistic roOmer.

THE REWARDS OF FIDELITY.

Mrs. Cooper Says Persons Are still Per-
secuted for Opinions Sake.
Just before opening the class lesson yes
terday Mrs. Cooper spoke Of the delightful
experiences Of Miss StoYal. the training
class teacher. who is now in Chicago. Miss
StoYall spent some time in st. Louis with
Miss McCullOch, the superintendent of kim
dergartens in that city. The training class
of the Golden Gate Association will open on
July Il. Applications for admission should
be made TO MIS-. Cooper. The training is
free.
The lesson Of the day was on fidelity to
conviction as the basis Of right action. 1t
was based upon the experiences Of the fiery
furnace. Mrs CoOg er said; No fires Of
affection can be so hot, but the Son Of God
is there to rescue and bring forth those who
trust in him. We have no reason to fear the
unjust and wicked commands of those in
authority. No real harm can come to those
who walk uprghtly. They conquer though
they die. We triumph over all adyersaries
when cur souls live with GOd-when we
live for spiritual ideas and principles. II
takes great courage 70 stem the current OF a
general public sentiment; TO stand Tor prll-
ciple as against prevailing custom and OPP
position. Only through those who are deep
-
their own. Heroes are needed in this world.
Most people argue, When we are with
the Romans we must do as the Romans do"
This is oitIimes a great fallacy. Whoever
fOTgetS himself and al personal cOnse-
QuenCeS IN his defense Of the right Is lord
OF the world, for be IS above the world.
What can the world do against one who
says, Il know this is right and l will stand
for X, and II matters not whether / live or
die" The spirit OF persecution, for opn-
ions sake, has not all d led out Of the world
yet. Zeal for tie Lord and for the faith
once delivered to the saints is generally no
more nor less than zeal for self-for the
prosecutors own notions about religion.
About the meaneSt and most contemplate
business in the W GRID is the prosecuting Of
people for opinions sake. The Lord showed
how he felt about this matter when the
grim monarch OF old pTacticed this peTsecu-
ton. The flames which are kndled are
sure to destroy those who kindie them.
The kind of furnaces in which recusants
are roasted has changed since tile times OF
or lesson, but there are still furnaces. red
and glowing. Martyrs are still needed and
prosecutors still exist. The advance guard
which seek 10 apply moral teachings more
rgidly to individual and social lie viii
always have To fight the cohorts OF evil and
face the prosecutions OF the grim old fossils
who have their golden images which they
have set up. But whoever sacrifices MIN
self for truth will Ind in the sacrifice
abundant reward. Truth is mighty and
will prevail.

the board on Friday.
Captain Waters Of the Second Artillery
was the victim in the parade on Monday Of
misplaced confidence in an Arabian steed.
The captain was in command of a battalion,
aud rode mounted" as Veteran Townsend
would say. The steed had its ideas how
battalion commander should ride and the
battalion commander had some original
IDEAS himself on this subject, but forgot TO
provide himself with spurs to emphasize
them. The battalion commander undertook
to make the steed a convert to his ideas, and
to take the mulishness out Of him rode him
around the block where the parade was
being formed. The result was that the
battalion commander found himself cast on
lee shore stern foremost in dangerous
proximity TO q light battery of the Fifth
United States Artillery. A gOOd-natured
sergeant extricated ithe outfit and then led
the battalion commander and his steed TO
Major-GeneTal Dim0nd, who turned the
outfit over to General Dickinson, who
passed it on to the A. A. O., who passed it
on TO Colonel Macdonald, who a'sed 1t on
TO the second battalion OF lis regiment,
where 1t staid Captain Pike is responsible
for this version OF tho affair.
The application Of Captain Huber Tor re-
tlrement has been received at brigade head
quarters. 1t bears date Of 18th ult, so that
He CALL was flght again III saying that
1t was pigeOnhOled at regimental head

ton was approved by Colonel Macdonald
with the following Endorsement: In for
wardlng this application | would state that
l do so with the greatest regret that Cap
tain Huber was determined to ask for re-
tlremcnt The Second Regiment and the
National Guard will lose one of its efficient
officers"
General Dickinson wants to know now
how Trumpeter Wells came to blow off his
left hand while firing salute With the Light
Battery. He has therefore ordered board
OF inquiry 10 convene on the 18th inst. De-
tail for the same: Colonel Mcdonald, Major
