The San Francisco call., 1896-06-17
TO BUCKLEY.

whole seasoned with S. P R. R. sauce and
other drugs.
Our first picture shows the turning down of
John T. Gaffey by the short-haired Los Angeles
push, headed by Ramish, Marsh, McCaffery
and the rest of the boys. These boys have
been up against Gaffey's game ir the past, and
as their legs are getting back to their original
length they don't propose to give Gaffey a
chance to pull them again. Jchn is a past
master in the science of leg-pulling as the
A. P. AS can testify, for John gave it to them
when Buckley gave him the nomination for
the State Board of Equalization. You will re-
member that John made his campaign from
Black Ryans Office, had the Endorsement of
the long-haired A. P. A. push and the en-
thusiastic support of Marsh, McCaffery & Co.
John is daisy, win or lose. Lock at his graft
This trip. Did he not take Buckley to Spanish
dinner al Los Angeles?
Did he not lunch him recently in San Fran
cisco and then did he not work every end of
the Junta as we'll as the Junta organ? Gaffey
is a great distributor of funny stories and
promises, but history says that no sack es-
eapes his watchful eye, and the beauty of it all
is that he holds onto it when he gets it. 1t is a
well-known fact that proposed victims of
Johnnie's leg-pulling operations can feel a
pain in the limb twenty-four hours before
John arrives. OF course 1 don't think John
holds out all the dough, but as it looks as if
John would have to crawl under the canvas if
he wants TO see the show, it would seem that
the short hairs of Los Angeles had been pun
ishing him.
Speaking of Buckley and Gaffey, did you ever
stop to consider the fact that nearly
the whole outfit who are now fighting Buckley
we're recipients of Buckley's favors in the pastl
Just look at few of these negatives and you
will be surprised.
The one am going to show you now is q
picture of that great reform paper, the Exam.

have not time to take up the entire picture,
but here is part of it. You remember old Un-
Gle George Hearst, good-hearted Californian
and successful miner. Well, Uncle George
one day thought he would like to be Governor
of California and thus round up a successful
life Buckley was sent for and arrangements Is
were made to organize Dem oeratic clubs in
San Francisco. As Uncle George got his money
out of the ground and was willing to pay for
the proposed honor everything was done in
frst-class style. Buckley won the delegates
and voted them for FIVE whole days at the San
Jose convention.
At last the delegates tired of the Examiners
persistency and the entire country crowd
centered on General stonemen, who was nom
mated and elected. After a careful examina-
ton of this picture we fail to find where the
Examiner expresses any dissatisfaction with
BuckIey's methods during that campaign
During Stoneman's administration United
States Senator Miller died and the Governor
made up his mind to appoint his executive
secretary, ex-senator Moreland of Solano, to
I'll the vacancy However, il was rumored
that Buckley was seen coming from the South
ern Pacific Railroad offices, then located al
Fourth and Townsend streets, the day before
