correct in his counting of legislative noses.

GUS" said Mr.. Hamilton late tonight,
'and those votes will stay by US. We have
II other votes assured which makes 81. 1t
takes 81 to nominate
When asked if Assemblyman Bledsoe of
Humboldt was one of these 81, Mr.. Hamil-
ton said he was not. Bledsoe is credited
with saying that if Senator Perkins will
give written declaration that he favors
the free coinage of silver and opposes the
| Reilly funding bill he will give him his
vote. To this proposition Mr.. Hamilton
replies:
Senator Perkins stands squarely on the
Republican platform. If this were not so
he would have no rivals now. There would
be no talk of De Young or dark horse.
He would have the nomination on the first
ballot and the San Francisco delegation
would not hold back. 1t is because he does
squarely indorse the Republican platform
that this opposition has developed, and it
is the Southern Pacific Railroad which is
back of all the opposition. He would not
have the strong support -. Alameda and
the southern counties if he were railroad
man.
GAS to Assemblyman Bledsoe's PROPOSE
ton, I will say now that Senator Perkins
will not write Mr.. Bledsoe personal letter.
His position is too clearly defined to need
further declaration or letter writing. Sena-
tor Perkins will not return to Sacramento
is no need of his being there until then,
and | doubt if he will come here before
next Sunday.
"All this talk about weakening in the
Perkins ranks is nonsense. 1t is all outside
rumor. know the inside of things, and l
know that we have fifty-seven votes. There
is no change in the situation tonight. I
am satisfied that the Senator will be re-
nominated"
Money is being spent lavishly about
town tonight. The men who hang on the
fringes of politics are flush and are treat
ing royalty. Where does this money come
from? De Young is making great effort
tonight to break the Perkins phalanx
Frank M. Stone, his manager, came up
this morning and on the late train tonight
came De Young, julius Kahn, who comes
to second Stones efforts, and De Young's
private secretary. w. III. Brown, the ex-
Harbor Commissioner, is here, and a num-

a successful effort has been made to enlist
a large number of interior papers in the De
Young cause.
M. H. de Young arrived in the city by
the evening train and went at once to his

Young said there was not new develop

''I have this to say, though" said Frank
Stone, "Mr de Young is in this fight for
himself alone, and not for any third party.
We are perfectly well satisfied with the
look of things, and confidently believe
that we will win. Perkins claims the
fight as won for himself. We make neither
admissions on his behalf nor claims upon
ours.
"We are not counting votes as yet, but
expect to when the balloting begins. We
are here to remain to a finish, and if any
third or fourth gentleman sees fit to enter
the contest he will receive square and clean
treatment at our hands. That's the kind
of fight we are making. We are opening
no wine, and have not been within the
Capitol grounds; but we are trying to
make votes, and are making them. If we
can secure any Perkins votes we shall Sc
