MORE SUFFERS TAKEN ON.
Talk About Nominees for the
Governorship.
ALL QUIET AMONG REPUBLICANS
Several Clubs Hold Meetings and
Ratify the Action of the Sacra-
Elento Convention.

The enrolment of Democrats in the va
rious districts for the primary election to
take place on the 30th Of July was con-
cluded las. night.
The work was attended by less irregu-
larities than on any night of the week, vet
there were many wagon-l0ads of suffers
travelling from one district to another, and
a very large number of signatures were
taken. The returns at the rooms of the
grievance committee show that many
more names have been subscribed than
the districts have polled at past elections.
In spite of the denial by Chris Buckley
that the stuffing has been done at his in
stigation there is no escape from the fact
that the rowing gangs of men who have
registered in many places were working in
the interest of the man who warned Chair
man Max Pepper to beware of clean
politics.
Buckley could not be found yesterday,
and as he had expressed the determination
to go to Llvermore it is presumed that he
went, There was nothing to detain him in
the city. The rolls had all been success
fully stuffed ana it was a good time for a
rest.
The next event of interest will be the
meeting OF the Democratic General Com
mittee tomorrow night. Although Mr..
| Pepper has said that he would not submit
his post primary plan it is more than
! likely that it will be discussed, and that
the events of the past week will be freely
debated. Many members will cry out
against the part taken by Buckley in the
enrolment. and there will be. others who
will be found to be in sympathy with the
once-repudiated boss. Sam Rainey also
has considerable strength in the commit
tee, ami just how the conflicting Interests
will adjust themselves it will be interest
| ing to observe.
| The Democrats have been so busy with
| their enrolment the past week that the
| active workers have had little time to dis
| cuss candidates; yet there have been many
rumors of states and tickets. Among the
names mentioned for the party nomination
| for Governor are those of Judge Niles
Searls and Patrick Reddy. The former
| is objecte1 TO on account of his railroad
record and the latter because he has the
reputation of moving in the interests of
the party only when Patrick Reddy is to
be advanced. Congressman Msguire's
name is frequently mentioned in connec-
tion with the Govern Orship. He is not
open TO the criticism given Mr. Reddy, for
| he has always been at the service of the
State Central Committee for campaign pur-
poses. but his single-tax ideas are objec-
tionable to many Democrats. Generally
| after canvasSing these and other names
| the Democrats revert to Judge Temple,
aud in spite of his positive decllnation they
talk OF nominating him by unanimous
vote of the convention, reasoning that this,
| with the promise that he need do no cam
pagn work. will induce him to accept.
One Tum0r that has been af1oat for sew.
eral days is that Buckley will father a
ticket with ex-Justice Searls at the head
but it is more probable that Mr.. Buckley is
! figuring on the control If the General
Committee for operations two years hence.
Among the Republicans poIiti is very
quiet just now. Colonel Dan Nj. Burns is
taking rest. NJ. NJ. Estee is cut of the
city, aud it has been generally agreed cha
nothing shall be done until Mr.. Estee re-
turns, a week or ten days hence.
Messrs. Burns and Spreckels will leave
for their yachting trip on the 9th ms.
Adolph Spreckels has taken the Lurline to
| Burns will join him there. after which the
Lurline will sail for San Diego.
