party were full of business yesterday
and the friends of the various candi.
dates were circulating all over the
county rounding up delegates and lay
ing down the superstructure for effect
i've combinations to be made in the con.
vention next Tuesday.
Just what sort OF fabric will be turned
out Of the political loom by these indus
srious wesvers Yves an open question last
evening, for as yet no coterie OF candi-
iates had absolutely joined their inter-
ssts together. and the destinies and
personnel of the next Republican county
hominees are still in formnlalive
condition. There are three different
and distinct efforts being made to estab-
lish states, and despite the fact that a
bowl of elate has been raised continu-
ously for long time past by addle-
pated surface gropers in the local
political field, the fact that every
hour brings about ehifts and changes
indicates clearly that it is the came old
fight for place-every man for himself
and his Satanic majesty holding re-
something will be accom- lished today
in the way of dividing the sheep from
the goats, and there are several different
methods of division open which may
change many calculations.
In the sheriff fight, Cline has made a
big haul of delegates. and it is whie-
pered that Burr of San Fernando and
Hammel OF this city have joined their
forces to do battle with the present
sheriff. When the agriculturiets come
to the front with their claims they will
have an opportunity to consider the
relative value of the commodities offered
in exchange by the gentlemen men
toned. Cline has been putting forth
superhumsn efforts all over the county,
and is hopeful of success. Burr is his
most formidable competitor. but with
the latter it is purely matter of COM
binasion, and the sheriff's fight will be
settled on the division OF county and
city candidates. Clements and Aguirre
ere potential elements in the problem.
The fight for assessor has narrowed
down to Gray and Summerland. The
inter has practically wiped I'D the floor
4 II Hinton in the city, and Captain
,.tay has doomed up with a big following
n the rural districts. II ia g pretty
night as it stands, and the element of
dividing up the Offices between the city
and county will have a marked influence
on the outcome.
Captain Seamans, it is claimed, ia on
the outside of the hack in the race for
county clerk, with Newl;n and Lowrey
riding ineide. Newln is strong outside,
and Lowrey makes his race on his

in this fight which may have q decisive
influence either way.
The captain says he he's out OF the
Is delegates. Mr.. Pendleton claims four
OF the delegates, and says that the rest
are unpledged, except two who are for
Thomas.
Both Sesmans and Pendleton say they
ere perfectly satisfied with the ticket,
and they will have majority upon the
first ballot.
The fight for treasurer ia between
Thomas Fleming and Charles E. Day,
