In the Thirty-ninth District a series OF
resolutions offered by w. j. Gavigan on
the Central Pacific Railroads debt and
funding bill were adopted. A lengthy
preamble set forth that the road owed the
Government S60,000,0 600 and was unjustly
endeavorlng to nave Congress pass a bill
giving them fifty years more time. The
interest would reach 100000 annually,
and the railroad would have to increase
talltfs TO meet the amount
The resolutions are as follows:
ReSolUed, That the Democratic District Club
OF the Thir;y-nnth Assembly District repudi-
ates this proposed outrage upon the people OF
California. Ii calls tue attention of the people
10 The enormous injury il will work
10 collect The debt of the Southern
Pacific Company from the industries OF
now amount to about $4,000 900 a year the
transference OF This debt 10 our shoulders
means S3,OOu,OOO more annually added TO the
burden OF an already oppressed people This
means S6.OOO,OOO year, or double taxation fol-
the next fifty years. The Thrty-ninth District
club sounds this warning to The Democratic
party OF the State, and against this mOnumeu-
tai Injustice and blighting scheme pledges its
delegates 10 the forthcoming State and Con.
gressonal conventions OF our party; and be ii

RESOLVED. Tina! the Thirty-ninth Assembly
District Club heartily indOrseS the action of the
Hon. James g. Maguire in connection with the
so-called Funding bill
The canVassiDg committees of the yari-
Gus districts will meet this afternoon and
evening for the purpose of hearing the ex-
cUsaS of PERSONS who are accused of being
suffers and have been cited TO appear and
show cause why they should not be
stricken from the rolls. Some indignant
citizens are expected to appear and there
will probably be quite lively time among
the Democrats.
The purity committee will sit at the
headquarters from 4 o'clock to hear the
complaints of persons who think they have
been unjustly deprived of the right to
vote by having their names expanged.
This, too, 1t is thought, will be an exciting
piece of work.
Chairman Pepper has raised the point
that the clerks of the Registrar have no
power TO administer the oath to electors,
Heretofore this has been done, and large
number of clerks have been employed in
the registration of voters at a heavy ex-
penSe to the city. There are two obiec-
tons to the system which, if MIR. Pepper
is right in his opinion of the law, should
result in its abandonment. One is that
under 1t the rolls are Invariably stuffed.
and the other that of cost. The precinct
registration boards could perform this
work with much better facilities for pre-
venting Illegal registration. Mr.. Pepper
has made known his view of the matter to
the Registrar and the Board of Election
Commissioners, and il will be taken under
cpnSldera ton.
In discussing the matter at the meeting
of the primary committee the other day
Pepper remarked that man could not be
punished for swearing falsely before an
unauthorized clerk, as the oath had no
force in law, and consequently the act did
not constitute an Offense against the law.
"Then," said Andy Clunie, "some hui
manitarian ought to send a telegraphic
message to that effect over 10 San Quen-
tin, because there is man over there
doing time for that very thing. He'd
probably be interested in knowing that
he can't be locked up" Peppers stand
in this matter is based on an opinion
from Patrick Reddy.
Colonel Dan Burns, much tanned by ex-
Dosure to wind and sun during his recent
yachting cruise in the south, was on the
streets yesterday. He says he doesn't
think that the district conventions
will be held until some time in
August The date for the meeting of
these bodies to nominate two Congressman,
one from the Fourth and one from the
Fifth districts, Railroad Commissioner
and member of the Board of EqualiZa.
ton. has been announced as the Goth of
July and also as the Goth inst. 1t is
thought now advisable to defer ii, as a
number of the delegates who have been
kept in town by the railroad strike hope
to leave for vacation in the country dur
ing the next few days. 1t is also thought
that there need be no hurry, as it will be
at least month yet before it will be neces-
sary to begin active campaigning
