rial Fight.

One Vote.

Senator Mathews Looking Out
for Los Angeles.

Special to THE HERALD.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. Is. To-day has been
devoted by the few Legislators left on the
ground to quiet discussion OF the sena-
torial fight. Assemblyman Dale, OF
Kern county. is staunch partisan OF
Bowers of San Diego and states his in
tention of casting his vote for him on the
first ballot. In the event of deadlock
he will endeavor to concentrate the vote
OF Southern California in Bowers inter
est, and expresses himself as sanguine
of securing his election if the contest
assumes the shape he anticipates.
Assem- blyman Thomas, OF Nevada
county, who will cast complimentary
vote for H. III. Markham, as partial
return for the action Of the governor on
the hydraulic mining question. states
that he has in contemplation move to
consolidate the vote of the mining and
northern counties on Jacob Neff, and
expresses great confidence in his ability
to secure votes to command attention
before the vote is taken.
THE DEMOCRATIC VOTE.
W. B. Hamilton's claim that Perkins
will have Democratic support is not be-.
lieved by many, who say that Daggett
will get the solid Democratic vote. They
intims to that if Dan Burns had secured
arecount of the vote on governor and
unseated Budd in Estee's interest, that
enough Democratic votes could have
been secured to defeat any candidate
who had the ring endorsement. But az
that matter has been adjusted by the
best element of the Republican party.
it will be unjust and unfair for the
Democrats to interfere in any way in
the family row now on in the Republic
can ranks.
There ia q prospect that Lieutenant
Governor Reddick will rise to ques-
ton of personal privilege in the senate
tomorrow and will then state his posi-
ton in relation to the newspaper criti'
cism of his course in the matter Of the
surrender of the Office. He is far from
satisfied with the attacks which have
been made on him and lively time il
in prospect. as he is we'll known fol
courage and personal independence
| and as he lie Q very foroeful talker wher
he starts out, something is likely t
drop.
Senator Androus states that in al
probability but one committee will b.
announced tomorrow. and that will b.
the committee on rules.
