Selected.
PATRONAGE AND THE AsPlRANTs
Names of the Lucky Ones Who Are
Slated, or Hope to Be, for
Good Offices.

of GOvernQr-elect Budd will be to hnQ a
successor for D. NJ. Burns on the Police
Board. Knowing ones declare that the
successful Democratic candidate has fully
determined upon this action.
Burns was an appointee OF Govern or
Markham, and took the vacancy caused by
the death of General Hammond. The law
relating to this Office does not seem very
clear, but it is stated that there Is no pro-
vision to prevent the removal of Bnrns
and the appoin tment Of successor, and
that 10 any event the Democrats can charge
that the removal is made for cause.
1t is conteuded that Burns as guber-
material appointee holds office till sue
cessor is qualified, and in that way differs
from the other members Of the board VINO
hold appointments from courts, which
have since ceased to exist.
However the law relating to this Office
may finally be construed, 1t seems as II
the Democracy fully intend to make the
attempt to GUST Burns.
NJ. Nj. Estee visited the Republican State
Central Committee headquarters yester-
day afternoon. He declared that he did
not concede he election of Budd. but he
had little else to say respecting the political
situation.
At Democratic headquarters, in the Cali
give Budd plurality of 1000. They have
ceased to worry over the possibility OF the
scattering late returns giving Estee the
governorship, and are c0ngratulatlDg them
selves on every little gain which brings
Budd nearer the 1000 mark.
Two reports from Modoc County came
in during the afternoon, one giving Budd's
plurality at 205 and the other at $50. The
former report makes gain OF 65 for Budd
in that county, the latter increases the gain
to 10. A telegram was forwarded to
verify the figures.
The scramble for official spoils has begun
already. There are any number of appli-
cants, both for municipal and State goods.
A. B. Treadwell desires TO become
prosecuting attorney in Judge Campbelps
police court. Democrats are unkind enough
to say that he was promised the place Ii he
would leave the Democratic party and
work for the Republicans.
Thomas Graham and William Madden
also want to become prosecuting attorneys
in the police court.
Sherlff-elect Whelan declares that 500
applicants are Fostering him for appoint
ments. The other successful municipal
candidates seem tG be about equally IA
vored.
P. f. Dunno it is acknowledged will be
appoin ted attorney for the Sheriff's office.
There is sharp fight on for Registrar
between Andrew j. Clunie and Sam
Braunhart. The latter took a conspicu-
Gus part in the campaign. To Clunie
Budd ought to feel grateful. it is urged, for
the part he took in nominating him and
for the campaign work which he did, but
it is quite within the range of possibility
that the office may 60 to some one not yet
mentioned.
Colonel A. E. Cochran of San Diego will
probably be made adjutant-general, and
Colonel Thomas +. Barry has hopes of be-
ing appointed brigadier-general In the
State militia.
Herbert Choynski would like an appoint
ment as aid on the Governors staff.
When asked who would become the Gov
ernOr's private secretary Democrats who
protested to know the arrangements In
view simply declared, Governor Budd
probably has some trusted friend in view
for this Office"
j. j. Ogden. who acted as Budd's secre-
tary during his campaign throughout the
State, Will be given petition as Secretary
to the Board Of Examiners.
j. u. Nealon is candidate for Bank
Commissi oner.
The name of Rudolph HeroId Jr. is
helng urged for HaTbor Commissioner by
W. W. Fnots and other members of the
Alameda contingent.
A vacancy occurs In March in the Board
Of HarbOr Commissioners. Besides this
the Democrats count some on securing the
place nlled by r. ). Cbadbourne. Mt
Chadbourne was appointed by Governor
Markham, but his name was never sent to
the Senate for confirmation. The aues-
ton which they ask is if Governor Mark
ham will send Mr.. Chad bourne's name to
the Senate immedia ely on the assem- blng
of the Legislature. II ne does not do so
the Democrats will profit by the neglect
and the board will become Democratic.
Barney Murphy. Thomas Clunie and
James ellis of TuolumDe, the friend of
Mark Twain, called at the Democratic
Headquarters yesterday.
