WILSON GOES TO KELLY.
Dr0pped by Burns He Sells the
Alliance.
Martin and Phil New in Possession st Powell
strest-A New Deal or Hand Among
Republicans.

The Republican Alliance is no more and
j. \. i. Wilson has to all appearances be-
come Il party TO the Kelly scheme to control
the Republican politics of San Francisco.
For some little time rumors have been fly
ing about to the effect that Burns and Will
son had parted company and that the latter
was an outcast Various reasons were
ascribed, but chiefly that the Stockton con-
vention had developed certain queer charac-
teristcs on tie part Of Mr.. Wilson which
had caused him TO be regarded with sus-
picion Up to that time he and Burns had
been on the best Of terms. SO far as could
be Judged by external indications, but when
Estee went down in defeat through the
influence of the Alliance vote from San
Francisco a howl went up from the friends
of Burns. Wilson posed as the great and
good man and pointed the finger of sus-
picion at Quinn, who had always been re-
garded as weak brother in times OF emer-
gency. The result was that the Internal
Revenue Collector was severely berated for
his unfaithfulneSs and Wilson was given
credit for great loyalty to his friend.
New it is claimed that Wilson was the
traitor and that he was responsible Tor a II
the trouble. At any rate his movements
we're very mysterious, and the men who
threw Estee down are his friends.
The history of the present deal is a peeu-
liar one. Ii seems that when the Alliance
sprang into existence as opposed to Kelly
and Crimmins IL was decided 10 effect q
permanent organization with headquarters.
Wilson was placed at the head. and such
men as II. Ii. Lynch. c. o. Alexander,
John c. Quinn, j. ii. Mahoney, Tim Suili-
van, Irvine Graham and George Walker
were added 10 the organization. Lynch put
up the money, amounting 10 something like
$500, and lease was taken on this prop
eriy at 1l5 Powell street. The deal WAS
made in Wilson's name. Then came the
light for delegates 10 the State convention,
which is still fresh in the minds Of the
public Soon after this Wilson went East,
but before going transferred the lease to II.
II. Lynch, who sold out in turn 10 he ly
and Crmmins.
What the result will be it is hard at this
time TO determine, but the Burns people are
not at all discouraged, and have already
taken steps 10 form new body. They do
not seem TO care for the desertion of Lynch
and Alexander, and will go on as if nothing
had happened, They claim that Alexander
was induced TO take the step he did by The
promise Of the nomination for Congress in
the Fourth District, and that Lytch is TO be
named fOr Sheriff by Kelly. That some
thing of the kind is in the wind seems quite
possible, in view Of the fact that repeated
conferences have been held between them
and Kelly IN the last few DAYS. No later, in
TACT, than Thursday night Alexander and
Crimmlns spent several hours together at
1l5 Powell street, and 1t is supposed the
transfer of the alliance was discussed az
that time.
Quinn, it is believed. will remain with
Burns Tor polite reasons, and the fact that
be slipped out Of town a day or SO ago is re-
garded as significant
