12 O'Clock the senate and assembly Will
vote separately for United States sem
ator, and only one ballot will be taken.
White will get242 votes in the assembly
and IS in the senate. Gator. the Popu-
list, will get votes, and Carlson, the
Independent, OF San Diego, will vote for
D. G. Reed. On the Republican side
five or six candidates will be presented,
FELTON,, Fraucks of San Jose, Widney,
Estee, Perkins, and possibly one otEes'
It is almost certain that the name Of De
Young will not be presented.
THE PARTY LASH LAID ON.
For the last two days the party lash
has been laid on the shoulders OF tie
Republican legislators in Desperate
effort to whip them into caucus, but
without avail. The De Young forces
not being strong enough to nominate
their man would not agree to enter, and
as he he is supposed to have between IA
and 20 votes on joint ballot, it would be
useless to enter without them. and he
would not take the chances Of allowing
his men to get tied in q caucus that
might nominate Perkins. De Young
has undoubtedly more votes than any
other candidate mentioned on the Be-
publican side, but while his FRIENDS are
very steadfast, his enemies are equally
so, and he has probably taken q very
wise course in refusing to caucus and
sc latter his vote. e..ls 8.
De Koung's interests are being looked
after by James v. Kelly, William seeo-
-I-aon.. and .Eranlzs VI Stone, three shs
shrewdest managers ON the Republican
side. John g. Quinn, @. o. Alexandsr
and Alex Badlam represent Feltor, and
the Los Angeles Republican delee ION
are urging the claims on Judge Wianey
for the empty honor of complimeutary
vote.
| WHITE WILL BE ELECTED.
On all sides it is conceded that White
will be elected on Wednesday. Ipre.
dict that he will be elected on the frat
or second ballot. There is cheerful,
contented air pervading his headqu uar-
ters. Mr.. White himself looks cheerful
and satisfied.
MARKHAM's INTENTIONS.
1t is current gossip here that it was
Governor Markham's intention to ap-
point D. M. Burns senator in case tae
legislature failed to elect, and we'll
posted politicians say that Burns viii
be appointed in case of the death Of
Stanford.
Bennett of Orange has turned out to
be the most stubborn Of ali the Popu-
lists, and those who are close to him say
that he would vote for any Republican
rather than Democrat. He is said to
be bitterly opposed to White.
THE PoPULIsrs ARE DIVIDED. :.
The Populists are divided among
themselves, the extremists following
Gator, and the moderates, such as YAnn
Of Colusa, Adams of Santa Cruz aud
Kerns, siding with Marion Cannon. wAo

1t is said that all of Gators expe zen
have been paid by one Republican SEN

Knapp, who at one time aspired to be
the Pulitzer of Los Angeles in the days
of the defunct Tribune.
