ciiate the blind man. Finding that he
could not DO it he has determined to make
a stand as best he can. How he will make
out remains to be seen, Buckley has
stronger hold on the party than is i'm
aglned. But there is one thing that must
not be overlooked. His own people are
not enthusiastic in his cause, they have
been beTded in; but they remember the
throwdown they got four years ago and in
1892. 1t is partly fear and partly Buckeyes
strong hand that holds them in. On the
least indication of weakness they Will bolt
like frightened sheep. They know that if
Buckley'S presence in the party Is made
too apparent the party is doomed, and, of
course, they are. vulgarly speaking, in the
soup. They are out their time and what
little money they may be induced to put
up. 1t is for this reason that this farcical
bluff Is being carried on about The Buck

At the respective headquarters Of the
two factions there was some activity last
night. In the Grand Southern Hotel, on
the corner Of Seventh and Mission streets,
where POpper's rooms are located, quite
number of his supporters assembled and
discussed matters.
Max himself was around. looking fresh
and claiming to be free from worry. In

AS to the plan of selecting delegates, he
said he had not formed any definite plan
yet. He did not yet wish to express him.

to discuss the Clunie charges and the
comments that have been made by Chris
Buckley
1T appears" he said, shat when man
comes out and tells the plain truth he
only receives more abuse and adverse
comment" and he sighed YEARLY.
Peppers adherents are more confident
than he is. They claim that recruits from
the various districts are coming in by the
score. Yesterday, they claimed, they got
men from the Twenty-eighth, Twenty
ninth, Thirty-nintn and Forty-third. The
Thirtv-ninth they claim solid.
At the Baldwin Hotel. where the Clunie-
McNab faction holds forth, there was quite
a sprinkling of the followers of the Richie

success was of the IN bounded kind.
Richeleu Clunie made himself visible
early in the evening, smiling as usual aud
sporting a new pair of light trousers. He
expressed himself as sure of victory on
| Tuesday. He chuCkled whenever the
matter of his charges against Pepper was
mentioned. He had nothing further to
add to what he has already said. except

voters of the party ought to give him
benefit for exposing Pepper, instead Of ac-
cuslng him of concocting job.
The Clunieites will insist on the prOpor-
tional mode of selection of delegates.
They claimed that they had assurances
last night that the Properties were willing
TO accede 10 their terms and adopt this
merhed. If some conclusion is not
reached soon the party will be split and
the confusion in the ranks will be worse
than ever One proposition which it is
understood The Properties submitted was
that each member of the district commit
tee name one delegate and that the COM
mittee then select 100 more from the in
terror, making the total number of the
committee 500.
1t is safe TO say that some arrangement
will be made to-day between the two fac
tiOns 10 order that business can be tran
sacted tomorrow.
The rooms of James H. Budd at the
Occidental Hotel were crowded yesterday
by friends of the genial Stockton candi-
date.
AS Mr.. Budd was going along Montgom-
cry street yesterday afternoon he met
Morris NJ. Estee, his rival in the guberna-
torial race 90 the Republican ticket. Each
| bowed pleasantly and then exchanged
cordial greetings They stopped in the
shadow of lamp-post for some little
while conversing in an animated wav.
| Whether they were giving each other
points or not in regard to conducting the
campaign is not known, but Mr.. Budd in
speaking of it laughingly said, "Oh, we
were only talking about old times and re-
lating some experiences" At parting the
TWO shook hands, and man who stood by
said afterward that they each wished each
other success in tie campaign.
In speaking of tho opposition that has
developed against Mr.. Castro, the nominee
Tor Treasurer on the Democrtic ticket, be-
cause he runs game of chance in his
hotel at San Luis Obispo. Mr.. Budd said
shat he did not think IL was exactly war
ranted. He had been talking with Barney
Murphy about the matter, and the latter
said that Mr.. Castro comes of the old
Spanish Castro family, one of the most
respected in the State. He is not a
gambler himself in any way, and MI
Murphy was willing to go on his bonds
for any amount of money.
