BUCKLEY AND RA|NEY At THE POODLE DOG.

Rainey will stand in with the other side
and the play will be, If lose you win; if
you lose win.' They are as good friends
as ever, of course. They couldn't get
along without each other. They are like
the Siamese twins-if you cut the igament
that binds them they would both die.
They want to be prepared for the situation
as it turns out after the Supreme Court
passes on the new primary law. If it is
declared unconstitutional they will need
the organization.
GAS to the present anti-Buckley Junta,
as it is called, think it is pursuing about
the right course. 1t should, through some
strong and able committee, create by some
method a governing body composed OF
sterling men who could never be Influenced
by Buckley. AS to any talk about revolu-
tionary methods, would that be any more
revolutionary than bunkoing the people
by a corrupt primary and stealing the
works7 McNab is the strongest and most
active leader of the opposition to Buckley
now, and Buckley fears him. Buckley
said to me about year ago that McNab
was bad man and would come to a bad
end"
The Buckley faction began yesterday
talking compromise" with the Junta.
Three or four prominent representatives of
the Buckley crowd threw out feelers to
leading purists yesterday. Buckley loses
no chance to talk conciliation and unity.
1t was suggested that it would be a good,
and even a necessary thing in the interest
of the party and "the ticket for all
factions to set aside their jealousies and
harmonic. The interests of the party is
an argument Buckley will urge to this
end. The Junta declares uncompromising
war, and will not hear of giving the Buck
ley wing a man or vote in the party.
1--WE have the State committee, the
general committee and the Deuprey COM
mittee, and we have nothing to compro-
mise" said Gavin McNab last night,
"They are trying to give us a Trojan
horse" said Sam Braunhart. "They want
to get in and get their share and then take
it all. We are in for extermination and no
temporizing. The only good Buckley men
are dead ones"
The Junta is as confident as ever in its
declarations, and McNab says the Buckley
side has gone to pieces. The programme
for the Deuprey committee, which meets
tomorrow night to begin creating new
general committee, without a Buckley
man in it, remains what it was the day be-
fore. 1t is announced that the new gen.
eral committee will include all anti-B Buck
| ley members of the present one and that
scheme is, of course, good politics. The
members of the present committee who
vote with the Junta will all vote for them
selves, and that is counted on to hold a
majority steady.
The Buckley leaders were busy and con-
| fdent yesterday.
We've got majority in the general
committee now and l know it." said one of
them yesterday. ave been surprised
myself at some of the goods that were de-
livered to-day. No, we don't go into
| particulars. We know our strength to a
| dot. The other side don't know. You
know what the other side does, but you
| don't know what we are doing"
Buckley is conducting vigorous still
hunt, and his lleutenants are not talking
much. The meeting at the Occidental
Club tomorrow night promises to be a
| big one. There will be cold lamb with
| the collation..
| 1t has leaked out that the leading Buck
| ley men were so sure of winning last
| Wednesday night that midnight ban
quet to celebrate the victory was arranged
for. Buckley was to deliver an address on
"Pure Politics and the Duties OF Citizen
ship" but the banquet didn't come off.
| Buckley did not return from Ravens
wood yesterday, but will be on hand to-
day to direct the fight and extend the glad
hand to citizens brought into the camp.
He expects to rub many legs to-day and
| tomorrow.
