=
The movement was Daugurated at the
last municipal election, ana did so well in
putting in a Non-Psrtissn Mayor and City
Council that the leaders of the movement
think that non-paTttssn principles can be
carried into county affairs with the same
good results.
Politicians who have been trimming their
sails with view to nomination by the old
party conventions are inclined to frown
down the movement, thinking it might in
teTteTe with their prospects, buEitiS pretty
certain now That they will be com PEELED to
take the movement into their calculations
There are even some Non-PartSan COun-
cilmen who think ths movement should
stOD with city affairs, but they reckon
without their host.
Il. q. Boswell is a prominent name
mentioned IN the movement. He is not
an Oflce-hOldeT, neither is he an Office
seeker. Mr.. Boswell said:
I'VE expect TO hold a convention of
about $50 delegates, 1t will be composed
OF the beGi men from every section of the
county. We will conduct the selection of
candidates CD the Australian ballot plan. so
that there can be no combinations There has
been no date set for the convention. Such
report was sent out but IL was 4 mistake"
Mr.. BuSwell said that there have as yet been
no candidates agreed upon, and hat the party
had no slate made. Our object" he said, lis
advance the Interests of our county,"
In speaking OF the story published that Coun.
Gilman Dalton had attended the meeting OF
those interested to advance bis UWn interests,
Mr.. Boswell said il was not the fact. " Mr..
Dalton has not attended any OF our meetings.
His father was present occasionally, but only
IS any other member might attend. His at
tendance had no reference TO candidacy what.
ever. Neither is ii true that Sheriff McKilcan
has been agreed upon as The nOn-partisaA
choice for Sheriff.
"Our organization has about fifty members
here, and We have a managing body called
central committee consisting Of TWO from each
ward"
Another Non-PartIsan, a Councilman, said
that there was sure 10 be a On-Partisan
county. convention this fail, and full county
ticket in the field. In some instances" said
this party. "new men will be put up entirely,
while 10 other cases candidates on other tickets
who are known reformers VIII receive indOrss-
ment."
Tue Populists are now in the field with a
county ticket, and in few days the Prohib.-
1ionlsts will nominate, and with tickets put up
by the Republicans Democrats and Non
Parusans the Alameda voter Will have some
thing 10 select from.

An Extensive Dealer.
Henry HOsford was rather an extensive
dealer in his own PECULIAR wav. He was ar
rested early Tuesday morning as he was board
ing the train for Hopland with his wife and
young baby. He was charged With having
: stolen and disposed of two bicycles, the prop
erty OF wheede2ler on Telegraph avenue
and was loc1 ed up with charge Of grand lar
ceny against him.
1t seems thai other sins which be will have to
answer Tor are coming to light. On ~ onday
last ne pui chased cooking aBge from DalZiel
& MOller, with the promise to come in the next
DAY and pay half on the purchase. He did not
DO so, Dut shipped the stove to Hopland, and
the next day tried to leave town. Ii is thought
he obtained other articles about town in tile
same way.
