OAKLAND-Politically, Sunday was a
very quiet day in Oakland. The excite
ment, sleeplessness and headaches super
induced by Fridays primaries, precluded
any great activity, and delegates and can
didates slept far into the day. 1t was not
until early evening that politicians began
to assemble at their wonted haunts and
to but tonhole delegates and instruct them
as to their duties in the great convention
at Haywards to-day.
MThe candidates for the nominations kept
very quiet, but did not permit their fight
| 10 languish. 1t was carried on by Skin
mtshers, but the general engagement will
come to-day. That everybody is confident
goes without saying, but it is said that the
primal les forecast the success of Schaffer
| for Sheriff, Leckie for Auditor and Jordan
| for County Clerk. County Clerk Crane,
however, is not bit nonplussed, and
| Candidate Nelson, who was nominated by
! the N"n-Partisans, feels certain that his
! Republican friends will indorse him to-
day.
a friend of Nelson's said yesterday :
He is stanch Republican, and it would
be t00olishness ta put Schaffer up; for
wit5 Nelson already III the field these two
would split the Repu blican vote square in
two and let in Bob McKilIican, the Demo-
cratic incumbent, who, say what you
please, has made a gond officer and will
make good run. McKillcan will draw
his full party strength, and there are some
Republicans who will vote for MIN. Isn't
IL plain the party would cut its throat
with two sucn Republicans in tie field al
Nelson and Schaffer? This will be thought
OF before the nomination is made, and
notwithstanding Schaffer's magnificent
primary fight Nelson will vet be the
nominee"
There are many candidates for the office
of Coroner. DR.. Baldwin is very strong,
hut Henry Eyers, the incumbent is GER
tain That he can overcome the physicians
strength. MI Evers has very good
record as Coroner. which Office he has held
for many years, and moreover he is backed
by the German vote of the county.
There is pretty fight on for the Office
OF Distri t Attorney, which may have
some affect on Nelson's chances for the
shrievslty. Sumo leading Republicans feel
that, In order tn strengthen tueir ticket, it
would be well to throw out sop to the
Non-Parti ans, who were strong enough
last municipal election to capture the city
government in the face of stupendous
odds. This Non-P PARTISAN feeling still
exists to an astonishing degree, and the
Republicans cannot afford to ignore it, 1t
may result in giving the nomination for
District Attorney TO Councilman Dow and
letting SnOok go. Shrewd leaders say
either Schaffer or SnCok must be sacri-
feed, AID it may be the latter. This move
il Is thought, will draw the reform element
10 the ticket and maks it many thousand
votes stronger in the county. At leastthis
is the way a Scnaffer man would arrange
mat tiers.
For the other offices there are plenty of
ambitious men, and many interesting con-
tests are promised.
There is much speculation as 70 the
the entire business has always been
flushed late in the evening of the day on
which the delegates met, but on account of
the many complicated com binationS which
have been formed 1t is feared that the
ticket may not be c0mplated until Tues
dav. There is possibility, however, that
final adjournment may be taken not far
on either side of midnight. 1t may he
cons0ling to know that no matter how late
the hour is. the electric cars will run every
half hour.
The Farewell DaJ.
The fifth and last days stay in this CITY

vent;on of the Y. Nj. c. A. opened bright

ties of ali the churches 10 the city and
many staid old people joined with the en-

ment would make them good men and
