The morning call., 1895-01-22

Young, for Neff, and the rest for the
Democratic nominee, for Bowers, and scat
tering. Senator Bert will vote for A. G.
Booth. the San Francisco attorney, for
United States Senator. ST don't suppose
that shall create stampede for Mr. Booth,
but shall give him complimentary vote
to show my gratitude to him and his wife"
said Senator Bert. '0They made it possible
for me to become an attorney. / entered
Mr.. Booths Office when a boy. He did
everything to advance me. Mrs. Booth is
an educated and cultured lady and she
greatly aided me when was a lad in get
ting an education. When 1 left Mr..
Booths Office to attend the law school he
paid me my salary just the same as if I
were at work. l shall attempt to show my
gratitude for the many favors l have re-
ceived"
Booth, De Young and Perkins have head
quarters at the Golden Eagle Hotel and
their rooms are crowded with their adher-
ents tonight.
This is the programme for tomorrow:
TREY L. Ford will place Perkins in nom
nation in the Senate, and E. G. Seymour
will present the name of M. H. de Young.
In the Assembly George w. Dixon will
make the nomination speech for De
Young, and E. V. Spencer will make that
for Perkins. Bowers will not be placed in
nomination tomorrow if the programme
is adhered to, but his friends will cast their
votes for him.
Charles Arms will present the name of
John Daggett in the Senate.
Should the hopes of the most sanguine
supporters of Perkins prove vain, and
should he fail of a nomination tomorrow,
then on Wednesday G. D. Dodge of Ala
media will nominate him in joint session.
Senator Hart will perform this service for
De Young. Thomas Y. Gator, the Popu-
list, is here and expects the single vote of
James Barker of Santa Barbara tomorrow.
There is some speculation as to what the
Democrats who stayed away from the con-
ference tonight will do tomorrow. Senator
Fay will cast his vote for Congressman
Mcguire, and Senator Langford will remain
in the Democratic ranks. The position of
the other four absentees is not known. 1t
is claimed tonight, however, that on the
first ballot Daggett will get ID Democratic
votes Mcguire and Foote 8.
This was the query propounded by a Sena-
tor tonight: ''Why has Phil Crimmins been
so attentive to several Democratic As
semblymen?"
At the Perkins headquarters tonight
all is confidence. The rooms are thronged
with the men who will cast votes to-mor-
row, and the greetings to Senator Perkins
were in the nature of congratulations. En-
thusiasm was rampant and it was long
after midnight before the lights were low
cred.
Late tonight the Senator said: ~ shall
win just as certainly as that the day shall
dawn tomorrow. I don't mean to say
shall win tomorrow, and l won't fix the
day, but have won in every political UNI
dertaking to which I have set my face so
far, and just as certainly shall I win
this time. The best men Of the party, from
San Diego to Siskfyou, are for me. AS for
the Chronicles prediction the other way,
that is not news. They predicted that
I would be defeated in the conven-
ton for the governorship and started
all sorts of rumors, just as they are
doing now, and so frightened some of my
best friends that they came and called me
out of bed to tell me that my case was
hopeless. I told them to go bed and get a
good sleep and do their part the next day
and all would be well. 1 was
chosen on the first ballot. On the
night before the general election
they said L would be defeated by
10000. l was elected by over 10000 So
the predictions of the Chronicle, if they
went for little then, should certainly go for
less now. 1 shall be elected Senator. Fear
not at ALL"
1--WE do not expect to win on the vote of
the separate houses tomorrow" said Mil
ton ]. Green, one of Senator Perkins con-
fidential men, "but we do expect to win on
the first joint ballot on Wednesday. To
win in the vote of the two houses
majority of forty Senators or twenty-one
is needed, and in the Assembly majority
of 80 or forty-one is needed, making sixty
two in all. We will not have ma
iority of the Senate, but we will
sembly to make up the deficiency
of the Senate when the two houses
come together. On the joint ballot only
sixty-one are needed and we will have
them and to spare. 1t is said that
since the arrival of Dan Burns the San
Francisco delegation has lined up solid
for De Young, but II the men who come
here pledged for Perkins and those
who have voluntarily declared their al
legiance to him will vote for him, and there
is not break in the line except a couple of
well-known individual instances, he is GER
tain of being elected on the first Joint bal
lot"
The confidence in the Perkins camp is
based on sound substance, for in the con-
slant stream of visitors that focked down
the upper hall of the Golden Eagle toward
room were many who had not been there
before, and their presence was significant.
Among them were Senator VOORHEES, and
Assemblymen Tibbitts and Tomblin. 1t is
known, moreover, that the wires have
been hot and the Western Union
growing rich for the past few days
with messages from the good people from
all over the State warning their repre-
sentatives who may have been instructed
for Perkins that the instructions meant
just what they said. Stacks of letters
have been piled upon the desks by every
mail to the same import.
The scattered following of other So
called candidates does not threaten any
thing say the Perkins men until it is seen
