HOPEFUL OUTLOOK
Prospects Bright for the
Non=Partisans.
THE BOSSES ARE DESPERATE.
The Bad TangIe in Counts
Affairs.
SUICIDE BURIED IN OAKLAND.
The Heirs of John A. CIary Claim
That Their Wealthy Uncle Has
Grossly Defrauded Them.

OAkLAND.-Ihe outlook Tor the Ala
media Non-Partisan county ticket is
bright. Voters of all parties are so dis
eusted with the methods of local bosses
that the move for good men regardless of
politics in comfy affairs has had a won
derful growth in the past thirty days, and
good judges now venture the assertion
that nearly the entire ticket will pull
through. That the bosses are badly
frightened over the turn affairs have
taken is certain. and they are exertipg
every endeavor to stem the popular tide
that has swung round in favor of non
partisanism.
The Southern Pacific Company realizes
the fact that if it fails TO elect Leckie
Assessor it must suffer big loss by being
compelled to pay its just proportion of
taxes. 1t also realizes that the chances
Tor the election of Councilman Dalton to
that Office are very good Indeed. The
railroad hates Dalton. He has brought
the corporation TO terms so often that it
has arrayed itself against him specially in
the assessorshp fight.
Known railroad FOUNDERS and agents
were all over Oakland yesterday talking
against the Councilman and willing to
trade in any direction to secure vote
against Dalton. But they made little Roadway.
Tie returns will show his election. From the
very day his name was first menti oned in con-
pection with the office he has continued to
grow IN strength. The latest additions to the
Dalton column are the Young Mems Hebrew
Association, the Peoples Party Club at Hay
wards and the Independent Republican Club OF
FruiIvale.
JW. Ward the Non Partisan candidate for
District Attorney of Alameda County, IS mad
all through at the publication OF some OF his
private correspondence in the Times, r. j.
MOffittS paper, and comes back in the follow.
ing style IN local journal:
Editor Enquirer: would very much like space
IN your columns TO answer the scurrilOus com
munication OF that contempt bic fellow, Frank
Motntt appearing IN the Oakland Times this
morning, in which he takes occasion to publish
ancient personal correspondence Of mine with
Mr. Dennis Spencer. dated September 20, 1892.
his letter was private letter to Mr.. Spencer
and could never be used. according 20 the ethics
Of gentlemen, without the conse / OF both parties
to the correspondence, and that consent never
gave to MIR. Spencer or any one else.
If Mr.. Mon1tt has purloined il the people OF Ala
media County can Judge the source which inspired
his actions and If Mr.. Spe Ger gave his consent to
use 1t he is guilty OF dishonorable breach OF
friendship. to say the least-foregn to even a
casual mountaineering among gentlemen, and
which am at loss to understand.
The airing OF individual correspondence is a
matter which do not think the people of this

lag these dirty filings from Mofitt and they viii
not nave any eject among the Intelligent voters
of Alameda County when casting their votes for
District Attorney. Yours. J. W. WARD

cont,ined 22.S73. This year the number OF
names Is 29, 3G2, or 6488 increase in TWO years.
This equals an increase of 20 per cent IN TWO
years. which is something marvellous. That
there has been wholesale stufling IN The city
wards there Is no question.
The bosses filled the city with disreputabes
at the time OF the Republican primaries and
gave the county the Haywards ticket. The
good people of tine county viii pass Judgment
on these methods to-day.

most voters, having 779; The Seventh Precinct
OF the Seventh Ward has ia votes; Ocean

The action OF the men who run Republican
politics in Alameda County IN placing Stephen
7. Gage on the platform as chairman or the
HilbOrn meeting is Sill the talk of The town.
and the action of Judge HilbOrn in refusing TO
appear and speak Is commended on all sides.
The Enquirer, Republican paper. says
edltOrialiy:
MI Hilborn did Just the right thing. He acted
like man of spirit and independence. he is.
He VIII lose nothing among true Republicans by

that IL was difficult TO find men who are willing

the District Attorney.
Serious Charges Against Their Uncle
Judge Ogden has cited A. E. Clarv, wealthy
citizen OF Stanislaus County, to show cause why
he has not distributed the estate OF John A.
Clary, who died in this county in 1879, 10 the
legal heirs, tile five children of the deceased
In the petition filed yesterday by Albert Aiken
Emma Clary. 10 whom her brothers and sisters
have assigned their claims, states hat she be-
lieves that a. E. Clary, who is her uncle, has
= appropriated the funds OF the estate TO his own
use, and that he so invested them as to realize
great profit. She alleges that he alw VS. repre-
senfed that nothing was due them from their
fathers estate, and claims that although ClaIy
IS very rich and has grown richer by defrauding
them, he has permitted them TO suffer want and
privaTion.
Attorney Aiken says that be believes that
Clary has grossly defrauded the orphan children
OF his dead brother, and claims that unless res.
titution is made the case Will develop some
startling sensations.
Marked as Winner.
1t is generally conceded that the NoD-Parti-
sans selected a sure winner in nominating
Isaac b. Parsons for Supervisor in the Second
District. He has received the unqualified
Endorsement of the Haywards Journal which
has long been recognized as the leading Repn0-
lican newspaper outside of Oakland In Alameda
County. The Review. also published 10 Hay
wards, enthusiastically advocates his election.
