San Francisco, June 25.-The political excite
ment which has stirred San Francisco for three
weeks has now subsidized, and sober second thought
is being given to the rival tickets. Republicans
are fully as confident oil victory as they were
four years ago, for Harrison has gained friends
by his strong and vigorous policy The only
danger that threatened the party was warfare be-
tween rival factions in San Francisco and TINS
struggle is now practically ended. Mutual con-
cessons have been made and the open war tlat
was imminent will not occur. The Republicans
are well organized and the nomination of Clcve-
land will enable them 10 make a clcan-cut light on
the tariff, which would have been impossible with
any new man as the nominee. The nomination
of Cleveland was expected Dy California Demo-
Gratis. but many were not eager TO see him
chosen, because they do not regard nm as
genuine representative of the party. Ihcre IS
also "a feeling which doesn't get into print, but Is
heard frequently in conversation that he has
gained no strength in the last four years, ana
without q political miracle cannot overcome liar
risons popularity. The Democrats are claiming
that the collapse of the boom in Southern Call-
fornia will give them control again in that dis
trict, but though there is great failing OIL III
the population of the cities, still the people VINO
came TO Southern California for health generally
remained there, and nine-tenths of these one-iuhg
tourists as they are called are Republicans
One Of the features OF the week was rapid tee-
graph service of the Western Union Company IN
bringing bulletins of the Chicago Convention
across the country. The nomination of Cleveland
was rushed across the continent and was dispi'Sed
ON the bulletin board here fifteen seconds after 1t
was male in Chicago. The san Francisco morn
ing newspapers we've probably the only ones In
the country to print the full report of the con-
yention proceedings up to adjournment i'll the
regular Thursday morning editions. Over 100000
words were received here by the local Office on
Wednesday night and the admirable way in which
it was handled reflected great credit ON Manager

The failure of Alfred Greeneaum has created
more discussion here than any business trouble for
wears The creditors are determined to push mat /
tiers TO the end, for they are thoroughly aroused
over Greenebaum's cvasve statements The cir
cumstanccs point to deliberate attempt TO de- /
fraud the creditors, and Grcencbaum Will have TO
present strong proof to remove the impression that
his failure has been more lucrative than contlnu-
ing in business. Much sympathy is expressed for
Levy, Greenebaums fathcr-in-law. who has always |,
borne high reputation.
The death of George Taylor this week removed /
O lobbyist who gained great notoricty last year |
by "a suit which he brought against certain MEM
bers of the Legislature TO recover $4,000 rs his !
share of plumber. In his testimonial he declared
that he had coordination with certain legis-
lators TO pass bills that had money in them for
the lobby. One result OF this suit was the I'M
panelling by Judge Wallace Of a Grand jury |
which was afterward declared illegal. During |
its short life, however, the jury caused great |
sensation by gathering testimony against promi-
ncnt politicians. But its sources of information

Oakland this week forIaed Chamber of Com
merce with the special purpose of saving the
water front of the city and of encouraging
connecting railroads to enter the city. Oak
land, which sus aims the same relation to San
Francisco that Brooklyn does TO New-lork, IS
growing rapidly, and mainly by reason OF new
cable and electric roads that have brought its
suburbs within easy reach of San Francisco bust
ness men.

demand five cents a pound for raisins at the
packing house, and this will be the rate allowed.
