POPULAR SENTIMENT UNKNOWN.


and SpTeekels for the gubernatoral NOM
inaton have aroused themselves and car
fied the fight into San Francisco. This fact
was evident Yesterday from the appear
ancs of the Palace Hotel courtyard and
the presence of candidates, who were up
to- their eyes in business. Headquarters
were established, and more than one
aspirapt for the GOvernorship had his
friends and managers in the field. General
Chapman of Red Bluff opened headquar-
ters upstairs, Frank Coombs of Napa and
his advisers kept stirring from group to
group around the corridors, and Attorney
General Hart made personal canvass.
While Colonel Dan Burns could not be
found all day at his local Republican
rendezvous in the Baldwin Hotel, and
surprised many city friends by his alb
seuce. he was completely absorbed with
country delegations III a suite Of rooms
away from the crowd in the courtyard.
SpTeckels kept him company during the
afternoon But meanwhile there was little
or no sign of an Estee campaign among
TIE crowd below.
The candidates are greatly annoyed
over the statements and rumors of their
withdrawal, and they go so far as to assert
that a scheme to influence public opinion
In favor Of one man, ana possibly raise
seton foot. It's held by them that the
mere fact of announcing their retirement
ts-calcuiated to inJure their prospects, and
with: this belief in mind they declared
themselves in emphatic terms yesterday.
e. u certainly am a candidate, and SHALL
remain one until the ballots are taken."

T. 81. Ward, County Clerk of Los An
.Eeles County, is at the Palace, and APP
pears to have many friends among the
: delegates. He is candidate for clerk of
the Supreme Court. The Los Angeles
delegation indorses his candidacy, and
some of the northern counties, where Mr..
Ward filled various political Offices for
=" many years, have instructed their delegates
to vote for him.
II. L. Carothers of Mendocino County is
"a candidate for Acknowledgement. He
thought yesterday that his prospects had
improved over night, as Judge Fitzgerald
=, and Charles Garter are not in the race
having determined to withdraw. This
leaves the coast clear to Oregon Sanders
and Judge Carothers.

gates, who is managing Judge Angelottl's
fight for the Supreme Court, said that
