TO FIGHT TO A FINISH.
The Democrats Will Battle for
the Spells.
Buckley's County Committee to Prepare q
New Plan Of Representation The
Gauge Thrown Down.

From present appearances the differences
In the ranks Of the local Democracy are
irreconcilabie. To say that the relations
between the two factions are strained
would be to draw il mild. In fact, there is
war 10 the knife and knife to the hilt, and
it looks as if the feud would be fought out
to the bitter end. All over the city Demo-
Gratis of every shade OF opinion are arraying
themselves in line. and the two factions
actually seowl at each other and go so far as
TO indulge in hard names. Each claims TO
be the great and only, so far as the organi-
zation Of the party is concerned, anu both
assert that they will not yield an inch in the
contest.
The bitter feeling which now exists has
been engendered entirely by the action of
the Reorganizers in refusing to recognize
the authority OF the State Central Commit
tee. ana the old Buckley machine, as repre-
sented by the County Committee, has at last
decided to take hand. While willing a
short time ago TO accept any reasonable
compromise, they are now out for Them
selves, and will refuse to affiliate in any
way with the Sutter-street people. They
have, IN TACT, been quietly discussing the
matter for several days. and their pro-
gramme is ali arranged and will be carried
out.
SPOTS HARD AT WORK.
There will be meeting of the County
Committee Monday night and Ii Is under
stood that majority of the members have
already been committed to the new plan.
A. L. S2ctts, who was one of Buekley's
most trusted lieuten ants, will unfold the
scheme and it will be adopted with rush.
The call for the mseting OF the County
Committee has already been decided upon,
and when Chairman OBrien. who was also
close to Buck, has called the meeting TO
order IN his usual suave manner he will rec
ogniZe Mr. SPOTS. who will sit In the front
row. Then Mr.. SPOTS will adjust his gold
trimmed eyeglasses and after clearing his
throat will draw typewriter document
from his rocket. After slowly unfolding
the paper Mr.. SPOTS will proceed to read
plan which has been agreed upon in the
privacy OF the Manhattan Club.
MI SPOTS will suggest plan which will
be carried out and which will be briefly as
follows:
With great deal of JUNCTION it will be
announced that the reorganiZed committee
is undemOcratic In It's action and does not
represent the principles of the party as laid
down by Jefferson and expounded by Jack
son and Cleveland. That the cardinal prin-
ciple of the party is that all power should
emanate directly from the people. 1t will
then be asserted that the plan of the reor-
gaplzers is calculated to upset the founda-
items Of the party.
THE SAME OLD PLAN.
After this flourish OF trrmpets It will be
asked that committee OF 100 representa-
tive citizens be named TO act i'm conjunction
with the County Committee. This will also
be agreed to.
Later on Mr.. SPOTS will produce another
document containing the names Of 100 gen.
temen agSeed upon, and these will be Sc
lected with a great show of enthusiasm,
accompanied by the elapping of hands and
the stamping Of feet
The 100 gentlemen thus selected will be
invested with extraordinary powers. To
them will be delegated the power TO select
the judges. clerks and inspectors for the
primaries.
When this has been done O'Brien, SPOTS
81 Co. will proceed tn the organization of
the party in the city By the formation of
clubs. Every Assembly District will be
taken IN and officers elected who are OPP
posed to the re0rganiZers.
Nv ben this has been DONE" said a promj-
nent member of the County Commute yes
terday, I've will held our primaries for the
election OF delegates 10 the State conven-
ton at Fresno. Our delegation will go to
the convention and demand recognition as
the only representatives of the party. We
shall act In strict accord with the plan as
outlined by the State Committee, and which
has been repudated by the reorganizing
committee. and We will make our fight on
that line. We will thus be in a position to
say to Los Angeles that We have followed
the plan OF the State Committee, and you
will see that We will be recognized.
The reoTganiZers will surely be left ont
and Will find themselves out OF the party
