Col. r. H. Warfeld Of San Francisco is a
great favorite with Pacific coass people. who
insist that he Is fully deserving of the Office of
ommander-in-chief. The colonel is best known
as proprietor of the Baldwin Hotel. San Fran
cisco. Col. Warfelds boom has healthy
appearance. His supporters are less numerous
than those Of Nessrs. Weissert and Lincoln
but they make up great deal of the deficiency
in enthusiasm and earnestness.
CAUCUsEs OF STATES.
Most of the depar tments have already eau
cused on the election. Some of them have for
the present declined to take sides on the ques-
ton and are trying TO keep out Of the fight. but
the great bulk of the veterans who have a voice
in the matter are ready to vote. All will be
glad when the contest is over. The non-com-
initial attitude of n few of the departments adds
to the interest and increases the necessity for
hard work on the part Of the candidates and
taeir friends.
