When the vote for Governor and Lieu
tenant-GOVern or was announced Registrar
Evans became furried. He protes ed
against the board declaring this vote. L
was an unpreced ented action, although he
could not present any plausible reason in
support of his claim. Then he read state
meGt to the effect that he had been served
with a notice hat a writ Of mandamus
would be served and the case would come
up before the Supreme Court to-day for
hearing.
Tax Collector Block askedif he was going
20 send returns to the Secretary OF STATE a
Sacramento or hold them back until he
had the minutes written up in full.
Evans replied he would seek legal ad-
vice on that question and be guided by his
attorney. Anyhow he would be in no
hurry about submitting the returns.
In all probability Judge Britain will not
sit on the Superior bench, the time being
so short, with nothing on the lendar,
SO Judge Belcher will not be disturbed in
his seat.
The municipal officers-elect are now
realizing that all is not gold that glitters.
TheV have discovered that election TO
public office has its drawbacks, even be-
fore the sweets of anticipation are tangi-
bic. For they are each and every one
literally deluged with applications for
positions.
And isn't it perfectly marvellous" said
one Of them yesterday. show the pull can
be brought to bear on US. Why from
Sconchin MalOney TO Sam Rainey there il
list OF men almost as big as the male
population of San Francisco who are re-
garded by office-Seeker. as possessed of
more or less influence in some one particu-
lar or another, which, [ may remark, adds
to the misery OF a man attempting to
divide few favors among every other
politician. 1t is bad enough to be COM
PEELED To meet eve man who is ANXIOUS
for a position. The deserving ones are
always welcome, but this time L believe
that fellows without absolutely The faint
est claim on patronage actually want
positions OF head deputies and whatever
has good salary. But the men with the
pull are legion, and they meet you on the
streets, in your Office and drop in for
social chat at night in your home.
You cannot expect me 10 tell what my
Intentions are at this time. | have Sc
lected men for different positions, but no
doubt will change my list before January.
All the oficers-elect had a similar story
to tell, believing no doubt it is wisest to
say nothing about appointments until the
last moment.
Thomas Ashworth has decided on three
men for the positions of head deputies in
his offire. The rank of each is alike and
so Is the salary, though one man has charge
OF the office while the other two are out
side. Andy Donovan is slated for head
inside deputy. Thomas Ford. the plumber,
and Edward Owens. now employed Ia SEN
ator Fairs ffire, will be outside deputies.
Owens was inside head deputy during Ash
worth'S previous administration. He is
thoroughly familiar with the work of the
Office. and it is quite prob BILE he may be
changed before January 1 into the place
at present accorded to Donovan.

Western Union operating-room. Familiarity

friends In town as Pop" is said to have
the assurance of appointment as superin-

year. Sam Rainey's nephew holds his
office and is seeking reappointment. but
as the BE ard of Supervisor who have the
giving of the position. is epublican, David
son stands first in favor.
The Tax Collector will hold a majority
OF his present staff, but intends giving he
districts fair re Tesentation in his office,
and Consequently there will be quite re-
| spectable upbeaval in his domain.

said he stands really good chance of get
