The morning call., 1894-04-14

that the plums of Office were not served
out to satisfy district politicians who
worked In his campaign. And this is the
main cause for feeling against him in more
districts than one. In the Fortieth District
this prejudice has grown implacable. which
the Recorder was very recently forced to
believe in most unusual and astonishing
manner.
The Fortieth is Glynn's own district.
When elected to Office he made Percy
Henderson a deputy and Tom McGinnis
mis- chief secretary. All went we'll in the
district then because these two officials
dwelt therein. Not long ago turn came
in the tide of ward popularity when Nc
Ginnis and Henderson were dismissed.
The Fortieth was heard from and Ominous
were the grumblings which reached the
Recorders ear. Matters did not get any
better, although Glynn. was given assur-
ances by Little" Dick O'Connor that all
would come right in the end. Dick is
supposed to have a "pull' with the boys
In Richmond, hence McGlynn trained him.
self to believe that he was too powerful to
be beaten out that way.
Filled with this fancy he paid visit to
Mehrten's saloon at First and Point Lobos
avenues one night last week. He wanted
to call up the crowd just to show how he
felt. The boys drank his health when the
Recorder boasted:
"I'll run the road next time"
Point Lobos avenue is known in Rich
mond as 1.-The road" aud, being the politi-
cal center and general rendezvous and
business street. it represents the district.
at least among politicians Of the Fortieth
Assembly District.
Tom Barry, who takes hand in district
affairs on ''the road" was In the saloon.
He is not friendly with Glynn, and on
this occasion he displayed no dread OF
making his sentiments known.
you'll run the road. will you?" be said.
repeating the boast. "What do you think
Henderson and McGinnis and the other
boys are doing in politics out here?"
They're no good, and I'll do them.
They're no good, and if you are friend of
theirs you are no good either"
you're lar!" Barry hotly retorted.
Gynn replied with his right fist that
caught Barry without doing any injury to
his face. Barry gave fight quick as flash
and kept his fists going until the Record er
concluded he had the worst of the en-
phatic argument. The men were sspa-
rated. Glynn going home to recupernte
and repent his hasty action. Eye-witnesses
say he was badly used up ana not in a
presentable condition from the encounter,
after which he was missed from his office
for two or three days.
The district clubmen say that 1t will
need more than Little" Dick O'Connor's
influence to change the stand now taken
with regard to the Recorder. O'Connor
is strong there and no string is dropped
that has vote to pull. Quite recently
John Usher, copyist in the Recorders
Office, was given sn indefinite vacation. 1t
is said this was to make place for a man
from the road. Anyhow, ex-Policeman
Maloney, who has been identified with
politics in Richmond. though in no partc-
ularly enviable light. was given the posi-
ti6n held by Usher. Maloney was dropped
from the police force not long since for
fighting in saloon near the racetrack.
The fight promises to be bitter, as Barry
and his crowd say: "We will see who is
barreled when the time comes"
