supporter OF the democracy. OF JEFFERSON
and Jackson is beset with trouble and
hedged about with dilemmas.
He, being a law-abiding citizen, with
q proper amount of civic patriotism, starts
out to train with the reformers. The
shadow of Buckley is over it all and the
Democrat feels the call of duty to fight the
presence. So he appears at Mr.. McNab's
meetings, cheers Mr. Watkins and resolves
that his party shall not be bent beneath
the weight of the boss. Just about the
time the Democrat gets ready to make
speech himself he finds that his wife sis
ter is in danger of being consolidated out
of her position at the City Hall and his
own cousin 5 Job on the City front or in the
Mint has suddenly become precarious
1t may be coincidence and it may be
fate They say Buckley has no patronage
and no influence, but more than one crow
ing young reform statesman has ceased his
noise and told his friends he really has no
time for politics since the issue has risen
between Boss Buckley and the yirtuous
elemenI.
Now the reformers say they have the
boss conquered; that his followers are
harmless, though noisy, minority, who are
only holding to him because there are
good things to drink at the Occidental
Club. Certainly, on the face of things,
everything looks fair for the cause
of reform. The programme of the vir-
tuous wing of the party is being carried
out relentlessly and the reorganization
of the party is assured. Yesterday Pres1-
dent Watkins of the general committee
selected the twenty-five men who are to
join with Deuprey's twenty-five and select
a new Democratic general committee that
shall consist of the flower and brains of
the party-including the thirty
patriots whose allegiance that apostle Of
reform, Mr.. Sam Rainey, claims to hold.
There was once an Asiatic general who
always took pains to have regiment or
two of his own soldiers enlisted under the
enemy's banner, and obody will say Mr..
Buckley hasn't as much sense and fore
thought as Chinaman.
Mr.. Rainey's thirty-seven in the new
general committee will make a splendid
nucleus if the Blind Boss and the posses
sor of the thirty-seven votes should forgive
and forget.
The list of the twenty-five men selected
by Mr.. Watson is headed by himself, at
the request of the Deuprey committee.

So there is trouble ahead for wickedness.
For some days past it has been whis-
pered around that John Daggett had
placed large block of Mint patronage in
the hands of Mr.. Watson, the prophet OF
the good people in politics.
Mr.. Buckley was interviewed about this
rumor and could not find it in his heart to
deny it, anu there descended upon the
hapless Watson all the eminent gentlemen
who feel that the country owes them a
living. 1t was noticed that a good many
OF these came directly from Mr.. Buckley
private audience chamber to Mr.. Watson
1t is not unpleasant to have men come to
you and ask for your influence, because il
makes you think that you are great man
but if you are rather quiet citizen and
there descends upon you a cloud of such
statesmen as Toughy Boyd, Split-lip Col.
lins, Garibaldi Flynn, Feet Maloney, the
Banio-eyed Kid and Chippy Gallagher
you won't like it any more than does Mr.
Watson, the prophet of reform.
1t isn't so much Mr.. Buckley's enioy.
ment of the joke as his desire to make Mr.
Watson realize that a prominent life in
politics is not all beer and skittles.
According to good many people the
Blind Boss needs money. His ranches are
not all productive, and that extended trir
to Europe for the benefit OF his health
when the Wallace Grand Jury was making
San Francisco malarial for him cost a great
deal, and he naturally feels that the com
monwealth of San Francisco, being the
cause of the expenditure, should REIN
burse him. That is said to be why he is
back in politics. When he first dropped
into the political arena a few weeks ago the
time seemed most auspicious for boss ot
genius. The Democratic party was split
by dissension; the people who did not get
Office were growing at the administration
and the people who did were growing
back. So the Blind Boss worded some
dainty invitations and to every man who
had, or thought he had, a grievance a mes
sage came bidding him come and meet the
man who would avenge him. Don't you
want to get even with Budd ?" he wrote to
Andy Clunie, "for that deal on the Regis
trarship?"
'sDo you want to make Budd smart ?" he
