meeting of the Non-Partisan County
Central Committee yesterday, at which
there was a good attendance, the following
letter was received from j. w. Nelson,
recently nominated by the party for the
Office of Sheriff:
OAKLAND, Cal, September 10. 1894
To the Nom Partisan Central Committee
DEAR SIRs: Having this day received a COM
municatiOn from tile secretary OF your com
mitlee. under date of September II, 1894,
which l cOnstrue as an Official notification of
my nomination by the Non-Partisan eonven-
tiOn for the Office of Sheriff OF this county,
take this, the earliest opportunity, to reply
thereto.
AT the outset permit me TO express to you. TO
the convention and the citizens, whom you
represent, my very high appreciation of the
confidence which YOU have lndlcat d in myself
by placing my name upon your ticket, without
solicitation or influence on my part, but, as is
well known 10 this community, was candi-
date for the nomination OF Sherlh at the hands
of the Republican party until the close OF the
primaries on Saturday night. Since that time
have not been a candidate for the office, and
shall net be, and now most respectfully decline
the nomination which you have so freely and
kindly Offer ed me.
Again expressing to you my appreciation OF
your personal good Will, beg you TO consider
j. W. NELSON.
The Non-Partisans have not yet chosen
men to fill the places made vacant by the
declarations of Messrs. Nelson and ROs-
borough, the latter having been nominated
for Tax Collector, and will probably leave
the places open for awhile, In order that
some good tim Der may be selected. The
MOrEn and T. r White
the Populist candidate, have been men,
toned for the vacancy left by Mr.. Nelson.
Pulled From "a Pool.
Constable Abermiller of Raywards was
yesterday Informed that a man was living
in a pool of water near that town, and that
passers-by had noticed the man lying in
the water and had pulled him out, but he
crawled back again and persisted in stay
ing in the water.
The Constable went and got the man and
brought him to the County Jail.
IL was learned that his name is Rudolph
Walton and that he had been an inmate Of
the County lntirmary, but had wandered
away from that Institution and was
cleansing him self from sin in the pool
He has acted strangely for a long time
and had frequently wandered away, but
was not considered dangerously insane
Judge Greene would not examine the
man unless an affidavit was made that he
was dangerous to himself or the CON-
munity, but the Constable could not COM
ply with this. The intTmary people don't
want the man back, and Judge Greene
thought it would be useless to examine
him as insane, so the Constable took the
man back to Haywards with him. He
will be taken back to the infrmary.
Dr. CoyIe still a Republican.
1t has been currently reported that Rev.
Or. r. f. COyle. pastor OF the First Pres
byterian Church, had transferred a life
long allegiance from the Republican party
10 the ProbibitiOnists. Last night, how
ever, DR.. Coyle positively denied the
rumOr. and said that be was still Repub-
licaD.
The rumor got abroad probably because
the minister will be the principal speaker
at the convention of the Christian En-
deavorers of Alameda County at the First
Methodist Church Friday evening, when a
movement " i'll be inaugurared 10 cOmpe
the closing or the saloons throughout the
city and county from II O'Clock on Satur-
day evening until o'clock on the follow
ing Monday morning. Dr. Coyle is at the
head OF this movement, which also con-
templates that the various supervisorial
candidates be requested 10 put themselves
on record on the salnOn-clOSing QUESTION.
Notwithstanding, however, that he iS anG
always has been a consistent advocate for
