JAMES ToUHEYs CARDS
The Real Reason for His Opposition t
Mclaughlin.

The Real Reason for His Opposition TO
Mclaughlin.
James Touhey, a street contractor, has
been in the field for some time as an in
dependent candidate for Street Commits
sioner, not with any hope of being
elected, but for the purpose of trying to
draw votes from William Mclaughlin
and secure the election of Mr.. Green. No
one has paid any attention to his fight, so
he has attempted to bring himself into
notice by publishing cards full of false
hoods in regard to MIR. Mclaughlin.
The fact is, everybody who is at all ia
miliar with the history of street work in
Sacramento knows Mr.. Touhey's record.
They know, too, that his opposition to
William Mclaughlin is based on the fact
that the latter would not permit the city
to be jobbed. John Hughes, the we'll
known contractor, authorizes the state
ment that he was given the hauling of
gravel at 81 20 per load because Touhey
stood out for S2. subsequently the Street
Commlssionerasked him to give Touhey's
teams a chance at the same price, but re-
CURED that the load tickets be all handled
by hughes. Touhey would not accept
this proposition, as he wanted to handle
the tickets himself, and the result was he
did not do any hauling.
Mr.. Iouhey's published charge that
the Street Commissioners business is
done in his private office, that the money
is drawn by, his deputy. ETC., is ridicu-
lous. Everybody knows that all gravel
bills are passed upon by the Board of
Trustees IN open session, and that they
must be signed by the Mayor before pay
ment.
The declaration of Mr.. Touhey that
none of bis work was ever rejected is on
a par with his other statements. The
records of the Board of Trustees will
show that his work on the alley betwee
J and K, Sixth and Seventh streets, was
very promptly rejected and he was com
pelied to do it over again. This was the
first clash Mr.. Touhey had with Mr.. Me-
Iaughlin. He tried to get the Street
Commissioner to pay him for doing the
work over but he did not succeed.
There are those who remember very
well the attempted jobbery on Fifteenth
street, when Mr.. Touhey was told in

the habit of stealing chickens about town,
which they dispose of to certain parties
for nominal sums, and the latter live
high.
A REcoRD-UNIoN reporter, while on a
visit to Washington yesterday, learned
that on each Saturday night the habitues
OF certain saloon in the village have
been enjoying feasts of chicken, inter
spersed with wild, drunken orgies tina,
are kept up nearly all night Last Satur-
day night they scandalized the neighbor-
hood by getting out in the street in a half
nude condition and singing ribald songs
and using foul language for hours.
Last night it was learned that the
chicken-yard of Richard May was raided
and several fowls stolen. 1t is about
time the local officers over there did their
duty

which was a very enjoyable affair. The
audience-room was crowded with an APP

| an excellent one, consisting OF vocal solos
and duets, piano solos, mute obligatos,
Rotations, and a very pleasing exercise
by number of young ladies of the
church in costume, representing the en-
lightenment of the different nations of
the earth by Christianity. Among the
soloists of the evening were Mrs. Percy
Ross, Mrs. Walling and Mr.. Longbot-

Young Men In Demand.

The pastor of the Congregational Church
has made special study of the things
young men want to know of. The fact
that this church is full to overhowing ev-
cry Sunday evening is proof that young
men are not so averse to practical religion
as some folks assert. The theme OF the
preacher tomorrow evening is OF special
interest to young men-"How to Make
the Best Of Both Worlds" Young men
and people not in the habit OF going to
church are specially invited.

THE EIGHF-HoUR Law.

Sacramento's Council Asked in a Move
for its Enforcement.
Some time since the Pacific Coast La
borers' Union brought suit in the Su-
perior Court, in San Francisco, to GUST
the Golden Gate Park Commissioners in
that city for ignoring the eight-hour
statute in the work required of laborers
engaged in the park. The suit was de-
cided adversely to the Union, and it is
now proposed to carry the case into the
higher court.
The Sacramento Council of Federated
Trades has been importuned by the San
Francisco Federation and the building
trades unions of that city to attend a con-
ference there, to be held at 10 O'Clock to-
morrow, to discuss the advisability of
carrying the case 10 the Supreme Court.
In accordance with the request Presi-
dent Hartman, of the Sacramento Fed
Grated Trades, called a special meeting
for last night to discuss the matter. and
it was decided unanimously to send a
delegation from here to the conference,
the gentlemen chosen being j. A. Shee-
han, r. Cayerly, Otto Bell, j. A. Hunter
and John Hartman.

For twenty-four inch pipe sewer

Five miles and 500 feet of cement walk.
800 feet of bItuminous walk at an average
width of eight feet.
To have been largely instrumental in
the accomplishment of so much in the
way of substantial and permanent i'm
proVement in the short space of two
Years, surely is something for man 10
be proud of. And who is there, either
among the men who aspire to the posi-
ton filed by Mr.. Mclaughlin, or among
those little-b Drained individuals that are
bowling for his defeat, who could have
succeeded in doing one-half as much?
1t requires administrative ability and
energy Of an unusual order to enable a
man TO accomplish so much, especially at
a time when the city is struggling under
heavy financial burdens. But it was a
case almost of municipal life or death-it
was sink or swim-with US three years
AGO, when there were but two or three
streets in the city that could be travelled
in winter, and when Sacramento was be-
ing lampooned from one end of the State
10 the other because of her unsightly and
unfortunate condition.
For this deliverance, we repeat, the
citizens have Street Commissioner Nc
Laughlin chiefly to thank.
SEWERAGE IMPROVEMENT.
While the Board of City Trustees has
not been able to enter upon the construc-
tion of a general sewage system on ac-
count of lack of funds, Mr.. Mclaughlin
has succeeded in doing large amount of
work which has been of vast Importance
TO the people.
When he went into Office there was
practically no drainage in the eastern
portion of the city, and nothing had been
done in regard to Burns Slough. In
many places regular ponds of water
would stand for months. Since he took
charge of the street department he has
put in a large pipe sewer from Twenty
second to Twenty ninth on n. Then he
put in a sewer from Twenty-ninth and n
streets down TO the alley. between 2 and
q, draining that section.
On Twenty-tifth street he put in sewer
from n to p and drained pocket
there.
on Twenty-sixth street he built sewer
from \ to l., most important improve
ment, as the whole section was frequently
submerged and at times the street itself
was under water.
A twenty-four-inch pipe was put in
from the pump at Eighth street down to
the river, relieving the pump and empty
ing the basin at that point.
An important piece of sewer was also
put in on Ninth street, from the alley be-
tween h and +, to the north line of L
street.

A WONDERFUL MAN.

IL any reliance can be placed upon the
statements Of republican journals Gro.
yer Cleveland is a wonderful man. For
nearly four years he has been a private
citizen. He has spent his time, accord
ing to these same authorities, at his law
office in New York city, or at his home
attending to the wants of baby Ruth, or
in black bass catching at Buzzards' bay
or in fishing %jaunts throughout the
country. He has led the quiet ~peaceable
life of an ordinary citizen, taking things
easily and enjoying himself in his own
way and at 10 time thrusting his per-
sonality prominently before the people.
He owns no newspaper nor has he an
organ to trumpet his sayings and do
ings to the public. He has taken no &C.
tive part in politics and has kept aloof
from political conventions.
And yet Grover Cleveland is credited
by the republican press with exercising
a greater influence over the democratic
party of the United States than any
dozen men in it. He has been the un-
seen power that directed its action from
the Gay he surrendered his robes of Of
flee to Mr.. Harrison up to the present
time. 1t has made no move without his
bidding or sanction, if republican edi-
tors are to be believed. He is the head
center Of tie free trade idea and it is
he who inoculated the whole democratic
party with the heresy. This wonderful
man brought out Roger Q. Mills as a
candidate for the speakership against
Mr.. Crisp and came very nearly electing
MIN. 1t was Cleveland who defeated
the Bland silver bill in the house and
who forced the Stewart bill to the foot
of the house calendar. And not content
with this he is now holding the house in
session against its own wishes. Verify
Grover Cleveland is a wonderful man.
Nor do his superlative powers end
here. He is a mind reader, "a hypnotist,
a magician, a master of the black art
and if elected president he will wilfully.
maliciously and wickedly plunge this
country into irretrievable ruin merely to
crafty his hellish spirit. Mr.. Cleveland
is all these and will do this if our ami
able republican contemporaries tell the
truth. Still the ex-presldent seems to
have an army of very influential friends
and the whole American people place
implicit confidence in his honesty and
capability. Strange isn't what a monster
for an Office!

THE most foolish act heard of ia con.
n%ection with the Cuur d'.Alenc troubles
was the refusal of the civil authorities to
permit the imprisoned union miners to
see a copy of the Anaconda Standard.
There ear be no question that the Stand,
ard has been guided by "a sincere desire
to present a full and impartial account
Of the situation at the mines. If in do
ing this it tread upon the corns of some
sensitive fool his better plan would be to
hide the pain and say nothing about it.
To avenge himself by denying imprison-
ed men to see IA copy Of the paper was
an exhibition of spite and spleen which
find a Judgment only in the most
shrivelled souls. The denial is a compli-
ment to the Standard inasmuch as it is
a public avowal Of its influence and pow
err, but it is an insult to the press Of the
country in that petty officials assume to
a censorship over it. The TRIB-
CNE, for one, resents the insult.
