County Officers Will Hold for
Four Years
THE LONG AGONY is OVER
The Supreme Court Decides the County
Act Constitutional
" apples TO Every County In the State outs
side OF San Franci'co-There
Is Much Rejoicing ~

Ihe long agony is over; the suspense
is at an end, and today the county office
holders throughout the state will
breathe easier than they have for sever
al moons past. The supreme court yes-
terday affirmed the constitutionality OF
the county government act, under
which every county office-holder in the
state, outside of San Francisco, will
hold down his place and draw his salary
for the full term of four years.
Ever since the point was raised some
months ago there has been more or
less uneasiness among office holders.
and at one time there was a report.
which was very generally credited, that
large fund had been raised by the in
terested parties to make a legal fight in
case it was necessary. The matter was
finally got before the courts, and the
oiice-holders got on the anxious seat.
Ihey had gone into office with the ex-
pectation of serving four years, and, as
it was tacitly understood that renomin-
atoms would not be in order, they evil
IDENTIFY determined to make hay while
the sun shone. Consequently all Of the
relatives that could be provided for were
given places and the workers were quiet
ly and effectively shelved. This Of
course, caused general dissatisfaction.
and when the question of the constitu-
tionality of the law was raised there
was great rejoicing, as it was hoped that
1t would be knocked out, thus giving the
disgruntled "outs' a chance to play for
even. From time to time there have been
rumors that the supreme court had de-
cided against the law, but in every case
it was false alarm.
On yesterday afternoon Auditor
Bicknell received private telegram
that the law had been sustained, but
the news was too good to be believed.
and frequent kilograms We're sent ask
ing for its confirmation. In this county
there is still a question as to the sheriff.
Mr.. Burr failed to qualify within the re-
Quired ten days, and consequently for
feited his office, but was elected to the
position by the board Of supervisors.
The courts will have to determine
whether he holds for the full term Or
whether the election by the supervisors
holds good only until the next general
election following.
The following Associated Press dis
patch was received at The Herald last
evening:
The herald., 1896-08-26

The first is: If the gold standard is a
good thing. why does the Republican
party pledge itself to get rid of the
gold standard? (Great applause) If
bimetallism is thing to be desired,
who shall say that the American people
shall be denied it's benefits until for
eign nations confer those benefits Upon
the American people? These are the
two question, If the gold standard is
good thing. why should we try to get rid
of 1t? If it is bad thing. why should
the American people be compelled to
keep it? I thank you for your kind at
tention. (Great applause and long
cheering.)
After the speech the party made
dash to catch the Albany train and were
ferried across the Hudson on a tugboat
to the Rhinecliff station, landing just
as the train pulled in. The Hudson de-
pot was surrounded by 500 or 1000 peo-
pie. who came about the car with the
familiar yells. To them Mr.. Bryan said:
Il am going west, my friends, and

pie of New York are getting interested

ALL CONCUR
The Decision Is Unanimous on the Questions
Decided


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25.-The
county government act is constitutional
The supreme court, in an opinion hand
ed down today and concurred in by all
the justices, SO decides.
The section of the act infSnded by the
legislature to except Fresno county from
the operation of the general provisions
is declared unconstitutional, and Fresno
comes under the general rule of four
year terms for county and township Of
ficers. There must bean election for
certain supervisors this fall in the coun-
ties to which the act applies. though the
two elected in each county in 1894 will
hold until 1898.
The decision was rendered in the case
of David Hale VS.. Edward McGettigan
and others, the board of supervisors Of
Solano county. In this case Judge A. ].
Buckles of the superior court Of Solano
county enjoined the supervisors from
appropriating the county funds for con-
Quoting and carrying on an election for
county and township officers in Novem-
Der of this year, thereby affirming the
validity and constitutionality Of the
county government act, giving county
officers four-year terms. The supreme
court takes the same view Of the law.
except that. it holds that certain super
visors are to be elected this fall.
But the question of whether this act
the county government act-applies To
the city and county of San Francisco ia
not, in terms, at least, decided in this
cause.
In brief compass, just what the SUI
preme court decided in the present case
is thus presented by Van r. Patterson.
one of the attorneys in the caseGf Groez-
niger VS.. Sutro: First" Judge Patter-
son says, "the court decides that there
was no irregularity in the legislative
proceedings leading up to the final pas
sage of the act.
THE second question before the court
was whether Sec. 60 of the act provid-
ing for a four-year term was superseded
by Sec. 10.
After pointing out the fact that the
act in the first 161 sections is general
and therefore applicable to all coun-
ties, and the fact that Sec. 162 divides
the counties into fifty-three classes, the
court refers to Sec. co, which fixes the
term of all county and township officers
g four years.
1T then points out the conflict over
which there has been so much contention
existing between the general provisions
found in Sec. 60 and the provision of
Sec. 40, which applies to the eighth
class that is, to Fresno county alone.
In this eighth class the officers are to be
elected for two years. The court con-
sidered the repugnance between the two.
but proceeds upon well known rules Of
construction to hold that as the leslsla-
ture cannot be assumed TO have intend
ed to enact two inconsistent provisions.
and thereby render its action unconsti-
tutional, the act must be held to be valid
because it is shown by the general scope
and purpose OF the law that the subsidi-
airy provisions were not controlling. U
