REPUBLICANS FILL A VACANCY.
Kickers Against Burns Will Hold a
Meeting To-Night-Many Join
the Revolt.

The ticket gives general satisfaction, and
it is believed that it will be elected at the
polls.
Some disappointment is felt that the
convention could not nominate a legisla-
tive ticket. owing to lack of time. The
members of the body fully realized that
the tickets put up by the other parties are
wofully weak and contain the names OF
men in no way tt to represent the people
at the capital, but it would have been i'm
possible to get through the work in time
for The fling of the certificates, and the
Non-Partisans reluctantly gave it up.
The campaign committee appointed by
the Non-Partisan convention were yester-
day afternoon in the Sutter-Street rooms
to prAceed with the work so auspiciously
begun.
Chairman Thomas Magee presided. The
meeting was executive, but at its close IT
was announced that the following had
been chosen as Board of Freeholders:
F. j. Sullivan, Judge E. W. McKinstry, l..
Altschul, E. j. lie Breton, A. c. Hlrst. A.
q. Galpin, Joseph Britton, j. L. truman,
A. b. Loughborough, Benjamin Domaine.
j. w. Whiting, W. b. B0urD, I. L. EeIs,
Stuart Meuzies, w. +. Gibson.
The committee considered the matter OF
securing permanent headquarters, and
after considerable discussion appointed
committee of three, consisting OF j. w.
Whiting, L. Altschul and J. l. Truman.
TO select suitable rooms.
1t was decided that the party should look
closely after the important matter of Sc
curing proper representation on the cleo
ton boards. Wallace Bradford, Joseph
Britton and DR.. A. G. Hirst were ap-
pointed a committee to confer with Mayor
Ebert on this subject.
A motion was made for the appoint
msnt Of a committee of five to prepare an
n "a n G
importance of electiDg reputable and trust
worthy men to city offices. This matter
occasioned a good deal of discussion and
was finally postponed for consideration at
another time.
Very little was done in the Republican
camp Yesterday. The County Committee
met in the headquarters in the Baldwin
Annex 10 the afternoon, with James Alva
Watt presiding, in the absence OF Chair
man ManWaring The only business Of
Importance was the filling of the vacancy
on the ticket caused by the failure of the
convention to put up candidate for the
unexpired term of Superior Judge vii"
liam q. Britton was named.
The County Committee will meet again
Wednesday evening.
Colonel d. NJ. Burns is expected to re-
turn TO the city Sunday night. He will
find the enemies he made by assuring more
than 200 candidates that he had no slate
and thereby leading them to put up $40
each and make ridiculous exhibition of
themselves, drawn up in battle array
against the Republican ticket Two
prominent clubs, the National and the
Bear. have joined the general revolt. and
will vote for the NonP Partisan nominees.
The candidates who were turned down at
the last moment are openly canvassing for
the opposition.
4 meeting of the Republican candidates
will be held this evening to discuss cam
paign matters.
At Teutonia Hall this evening there
Will be big meeting of boilers from the
Burns forces. A multitude Of men with
grievances will assemble and speeches will
be made that will be interesting for til e
colonel to reflect upon when he gets back.
William Smedek, who aspired to super
visorial honors and had enough frie nds to
elect his own delegates to the convention
from the Eleventh Ward. has Joined the
grand army of klckers and declares that
he and his followers will vote Tor Budd,
believing that this will be the most effect
i've way OF retaliatng upon Burns for
packing the municipal convention. On all
sides the boss is charged with breaches Of
faith. II is sale that be encouraged tn e
candidates to 60 ahead with their contest s
by assuring them that everybody would
be given a fair chance. The result showed
that he had laid his plans so that nobody
could possibly be nomna ted except the
men he had put on the slate.
The current story of c. F. Currv's ON
inaton for County Clerk on the Republi-
can ticket only affords another instance Of
the cut-aud-dried policy of Boss Daniel
Curry was up for Clerk of the Supreme
Court at the Sacramento convention,
Root and Jacobs being bis opponents
Curry had been slated for the position, but
at the last moment a prominent Repub-
lean induced the colonel to favor Jacobs.
Root gracefully withdrew, but Curry de-
ciared that he would stay in the fight and
thought he could win out. Finally the
colonel promised him the municipal CLERK
ship TO withdraw. and Curry's name was
then slated for that position.
The eX-UDiOn veterans rallied in large
numbers last evening at 113 Turk street,
for the purpose of expressing their views
on the action of the boss Of pure politics.
Colonel Burns was handled without gloves
by the old veterans, and compared TO Kelly
and Crimmns, who were relegated 10
oblivion two years ago.
Burns method of overriding the wishes
of the representative Republicans of the
Assembly districts and naming delegates
TO the convention who were suhservient to
him was condemned in the strongest
terms. and as a final result the followin Q
preamble and resolutions were adopted
by a unanimous vote:
