The San Francisco call., 1895-10-15

eOAOop W hHOW just WndC anu now dIUl-
trary and revolutionary, as they term it,
the next move of the reorganizing Junta
VIII BE-. They now clearly foresee big
factional contest before the State Central
committee and possibly in the next State
convention, and they are planning ahead
and seem as confident as are the Nc
Nabers.
A foreshadowing of some future popular
delights is contained in intimations made
by several leading Buckley men yesterday
that several OF the McNab purists have
polltlcal records that are now being pol
lshed up for use, when there arises the
direct issue OF whether or not the party
shall be wholly handed over to them be-
cause they represent all the decency in the
party, and whether or not powerful wing
OF the party is to have any voice or con-
sIderation. They want to know if Sam
Kalney is SO much purer than Chris Buck
ley that the people who are hand and
glove with him should be given every
thing. They ask if very great majority
OF local Democrats, whether they are in
sympathy with Buckley or not, are going
to herolcally back up a lot of fellows who
have axes to grind. The Buckley men
realize that the present strife is not charac-
terized by motives of towering nobility on
either side, and that the rank and file are
showing disposition to let the politicians
fight it out. They are stalking everything
on future showing of strength in a fight
where might will mainly rule, and ''organ-
ization and numbers" broadly comprises
the Buckley policy.
Buckley's strength in the general COM
mIttee lies mainly south of Market street,
naturally. In the districts from the
Twenty-eighth to the Thirty-sixth inclu-
slve, Buckley is asserted to have collec.
lively a good majority. The rest of hi.
committee strength is scattered.
FThn 81
tlon has been steadily carried out during
the past six weeks. A club is organized in
every district composed of carefully
selected representatives of every precinct.
These clubs are now nuclei which it will
be the effort to enlarge. A majority of the
members of the general committee have
lobs-municipal, State or Federal-and the
Junta has the fellows with jobs. Buckley
has the outs and many district influences
that are effective with the boys and in
rounding up the kind of votes that most
determine primary elections.
While Buckley is thus working cum
n1ngly downward he is working as shrewdly
and as quietly upward. Well-known men
give his faction prestige The Buckley
buns, and when all influences opposed
to Buckley cry him down as false alarm
with not leg to stand on.
Buckley's strength and the men who
turn to him will be of constant interest.

influences and control many votes at the

These things indicate the strength that
Buckley is attaining in the party and the
possibilities of red-hot row when Junta
tries to throw overheard wholly this fac.
ton.
