THEY WILL REST.
Republicans May Enjoy a
Respite.
NOTHING To BE DONE NOW.
General Gossip Is About Judge
Temple.
NOTHING To BE DONE NOW
DEMOCRATS BEGIN ENROLLING.
Chairman McEIroy of the Thirty
Second District Robbed
of His Roll.


retaTy Morris Of the County Committee
thinks it is a good time for him to go to
the country fer fishing outing. He says
there is nothing to do now and he is in for
holiday. Colonel Burns and John d.
Spreckels are going on a yachting cruise
after the Fourth of July. and Fire Com
missioner Andrew Jackson Martin is going
north.
So itappears that the Republican movers
and workers consider that they have
done enough work for the present and in
tend to rest. This will lOp off a good deal
of time from the lengthy campaign which
so many candidates dreaded, owing TO the
holding of the convention at such an early
day as the 18Th of June. The primaries
for the municipal convention will probably
not be held until August.
The next development in the Republican
campaign will be the appointment of an
executive committee of tile State Central
Commit ee. This privilege was left by the
late convention TO NJ. Nj. EStee. the candi-
date for Governor, and ne has thirty days
in which to make his selections. He said
yesterday that he had hardly recovered
from the strain attending the Sacramento
gathering, and that he would like some
time to consider the men from whom he
had TO make his selections. He is now
busily at work attending TO his profess

Judge COOney, chairman of thu eXecu-
tive committee of the Republican eXecu-
tive council, waited uron John ID. Spreck-
els, president OF the council, yesterday 10
consult him in relation 10 the holding of
a ratification meeting by the organization
at an early day. No date was set, but
Judge CoOney Will be able 10 announce it
in day or two. The council accepts the
ticket as a whole with satisfaction, and
its meeting will be rousiDg gathering of
all the organizations which are represented
in the body.
The nomination of Congressional caud-
dates for the Fourth and Fifth districts
remains TO be made. The conventions will
be held In the latter part of July. Nobody
wants the nomination from the Fourth, as
the Democrats have majority of 5000 or
1900 votes there. The honor has been Of
fered to John T. Dare, but Mr.. Dare has
declined TO enter the race with such
handicap. l.. E. Phillips, the attorney,
thinks lie NAV win. and has accepted. He
is the only aspirant in the field.
Ia the Fifth. Loud, HerSey of Santa
Clara and Julius Kahn are still in the fight.
Alfred Bouvier has sent a letter TO THE
CALL 10 which he states that he is op-
poseG to the frequent changes of REPRE-
sentatiyes IN Congress, and that unless
Mr.. Loud should withdraw his name be
will decline 10 enter the race. 1t seems
that Mr.. Loud intends TO run in spite of
his silver record. so Mr.. BOuvier is, for
the present at least, anon-combatant
There are still Ia be selected candidates
| for the Board of Equalization from this
district, for which JabeZ Swan and j. Ii.
Curley are the leading aspirants. and for
Railroad Commissioner from the First
| District. For the last-named place ex-
| Fire Commissioner Parsons. Colonel SOrn-
| tag and Senator Byrnes are the conles-
| tantS.
The interview with Judge Jackson Tenn
| pie published in THE CALL yesterday
| occasioned much gossip 10 both political
| camps. 1t is now deemed almost certain
/ that Judge Temple will run on the Demo
cratic ticket for Governor, and that the
ticket Will be further strengthened by the
/ name of Judge de Haven for the Supreme
! Court. These candidates. certainly, are
! the choice of the Democrats at present,
whatever may be the change of sentiment
! during the next two months.
! The enrolment of voters in the various
J districts was begun last nighs under the
| supervision of the Democratic district CON-
! mittees. Books were opened at ali the
! places advertised, and the first nights
WORK indicated that the lists will be very
| full. Democrats crowded the rooms. and
! large mum berS OF signatures were taken.
| In the Thirty-secOnd District the fight
between the factions resulted in tn. open
| ing OF two sets of books. James A. Reavy,
! secretary of the district committee, had
one at 51S Fourth street, and James Boyd
another al NJ. j. McDOnald's hall, at Sixth
! and Brannan streets. At the last meeting
of the grievance committee at Metropolitan
Temple on Saturday night the roll was
! given to District Chairman McElroy after
a hot fight between him and his friends
and the opposing faction. Mr.. McElroy
| left the room with the book under his arm.
and started down Sixth street accompanied
1 nv anita la M nnlfficionS rub ba
at the time wera thought to be his friends.
| They proceeded as far as BTannan street,
! where McElroy should have turned east
| toward Fourth. in order TO reach his place
of business. Mcdonald was in the crowd
and invited McElToy into his saloon on the
! southwest corner to take drink. While
| there, McElroy, who had held ! the book
close to his side heretofore. and declared
! that no one should have it, relaxed his
! grip, and the priZe passed into the posses
sion of Mcdonald
| Last night the chairman said that Nc
| Donald had snatched ii from beneath his
! arms, and that he had no way of getting
| il back, as the proprietor of the place was
| TOO large man for him to grapple with.
| Mcdonald kept the ROLL and last night the
hall in the rear of his bar was filed with
men who readily signed their names, Jim
| Boyd experimenting the proceeding.
Nnen this fact OF the transfer of the
book from McElroy's hands to MeDon-
! AIDS was made known TO the grievance
committee another book was given to Sec
retary Reavy, with instructions to enroll
| Democrats at 51S Fourth street. But the
Mcdonald crowd seemed 10 have carried
almost all the votes, for Mr.. Reavy did
little business compared with his rivals
! over on Sixth street. Supervisor Dundon
Is said to be engineering the Mcdonald
| faction. The matter will undou btedly
claim the attention of the grievance COM
mittee before the enrolment is over. The
committee met last night at the Baldwin
Hotel, holding itself in readiness to adjust
differences. but the work in the districts
had but just begun. and there were no
complaints brought before it. 1t will con-
trive TO meet every night this week.
The general committee of the Demo-
cratic party will hold another. meeting
next Monday night for the purpose OF
taking action upon the proposed postal
| primary plan. Further amendments &
| the scheme will be presented. and then il
is hoped some disposition will be made oil
the matter which has so excited the lOca
| Democracy.
