! gates from Sacramento Yesterday with thu
tales they have to tell Of the goinps onun
there, has Weakened up the Damooro+io
party to sense of what tbe forthnomipo
fight is going to be-
Among those who figured prominonn,,
in the enemy's camp last evening wos
II. /. kowalsky, who has returned In tho
city tired of politics. Several Democrats
asked him last evening what he did IN in
Sacramento. "Oh, l took back scar
among the country delegates" was all the
answer he vouchsafed.
LII consequence of the nominations
passed upon by the convention, Demo
cratic headquarters were quite lively last
evening.
The nomination OF Estee for Governor
has made the Democrats talk, and the
names of all the available warehouses are
being canvassed, with the idea of bringing
forward man strong enough to win.
There seems a disposition to set aside
or even knub the personal aspirations of
many well-knOwn men. 1.-The office should
seek the man this year," is the general
cry. Only two names are mentioned with
any degree of enthusiasm = jackson
Temple and Congressman j. 6. Mcguire.
Temple will not accept the nomination I'M
less it is rendered to him by the unani-
nous vote of the convention. 1t is said
that a number of delegations have visited
him in Santa Rosa, and every mail is
bringing him letters from all parts of the
State eeching him to run. He seems
TO be the Democratic Moses" and the
only thing that allows any other name to
be heard is the doubt expressed by many
as to his acceptance of the nomination.
Jackson Temple was in the city yes
terday.
Congressman Mcguire has come into
especial prominence through his vigorous
fight against the railroad funding bill.
His friends urge that he is the logical
candidate of the hour, and that be could
head an ideal antl-monopoly campaign
Many contend that his nomination would
break the back of the POpulist movement.
No Information has yet been received
from Mcguire, but many letters have been
written and kilograms sent TO him, ana his
disposition on The matter will soon be
known.
In the meantime several meetings al his
friends have taken place, and if his per-
mission is received his boom will be
launched at once.
But there is yet another candidate
whose claims would, it is thought, be
second 10 none il he showed a disposition
to run. 1t is Hon. Patrick Reddy. Con-
cerning his chances an enthusiastic ad-
mirer said last evening: HE is the man
we want. He is anti-railroad and anti
mOnopolistie. If he were to accept the
nomination and go down among the labor
ing men he'd get every vote he wanted.
Let us have a good strong man like Ready,
and a Supreme Judge or two and we'll
control the whole ticket" However, it is
not known yet whether OF not Rsddy would
accept nomination.
Tie postoffice primary fight is still a
topic of conversation, and will be SO until
the final debate tomorrow evening. Many
stout Democrats, albeit friendly in every
way to Max Pepper, are against the
scheme. One said yesterday: why, the
idea is not only absurd, but not feasible.
If we could manage the thing as they do
ID Los Angeles all would be we'll But as
it is here proposed il will act in this way:
Suppose director of a railroad, for In
stance, sitSln bis Office on salary day and
as each man comes in, says: go to your
club and get enrolled. Then, when next
payday comes. bring me your ticket He
could mark the ticket as he pleased
Another opponent of the plan speaks as
follows:
The opposition feels very confident af-
fecting the new scheme. 1t has been
charged that the plan originated in the
City Hall with certain officials who sought
to force their denomination. It's promoters
committed technical blundeT when they
permitted the printed notices of this pro-
posed amendment to the constitution to be
signed by Deputy County Clerk, as it
enemies were making against it.
Nevertheless the friends of the postal
primary plan are making a splendid fight
In its behalf. Chief Deputy Martin Fem
ing of NJ. c. Haley's office has had numer-
Gus consultations with Pepper. and is
leaving nothing undone, while Nicely
Murphy has promised to deliver his dis
trict on the vote. Samuel BraunhRrt is
making the fight for it south IF Market
street.
"In order to be adopted twn-thrds of
those present at Saturday nights meeting
must vote in its favor The enemies OF the
amendment claim that they will have
clear majority vote in opposition.

among the Democrats over the failure or

propose that he be placed upon the Demo-
cratic ticket "a good man and always

the general cry. But it is doubtful

Pepper refuses to see any objection to
his primary plan, and bopes il will go
through.
