MARSHAL LONG.
Men Who Want to Be
His Successor.
Franks Said to Be in the Lead i'm
the Race Through Justice
Fields Influence.

On the 9th inst. the official term of
United States Marshal Long will expire,
and it is reasonable TO suppose, from the
course pursued by the Democracy hereto
fore, that be will soon be replaced by one
Of "the faithful" in the army Of "The
Man of Destiny"
By right Marshal Long should hold his
position until some time in June. When
appointed to succeed Marshal Franks the
latter official was engaged in the trial of
his deputy. David Maggie, for the killing of
David ). Terry, and Marshal Long al
lowed Franks TO continue in Office until the
Nagle trial was concluded, something over
two months. 1t is presumed that his time
lost will be made up to Long. especially as
it is generally conceded that Franks will
again assume charge of the United States
Marshsl's office.
There is no lack of applicants for Longs
position. but Frank seems to lead the LOT,
presumably upon the Influence eXerted by
Justice Fields of the United States Su-
preme bench. in whose defense Maggie
killed Terry. Outside of Franks the
prominent candidates TO, the office are
Shepherd of San Joaquin County, Stanley
of Mendocino County, Halves of Calaveras
County and White of this city.
AS stated, is is generally conceded, how
ever, that Franks has the inside track and
will receive the appointment. He not
only made an efficient officer when in the
position before. but he rendered, person.
ally and through his deputies, certain
services which cannot well be overlooked.
Franks is not the unanimous choice of the
Democracy of the district by any means,
but the fight made against him has been a
half-hearted one. His opponents base
their hopes upon the policy of the admins
tration not TO IrappOnt man who en-
Joyed the patronage when Cleveland was
