The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-02-02

and Mississippi Valley Company as the
State of California is under the Kentucky
charter to the Southern Pacific Company.
So long pull and strong pull both to-
gether is required to get rid OF Hunting
toms system.
The Legislature adjourned early to-day,
so as to give the members from the vicinity
chance 10 GO home to spend Sunday.
A number will, according to the usual
custom, go to Louisville or Cincinnati.
This cuts off any possibility of considering
the Southern Pacific repeal bill before
Monday night or Tuesday by the commit
tee. Indeed it is safe to say that with the
all-absorbing Senatorial election taking
up so much of their time they will
hardly have meeting before Wednesday
at the earliest, and will not go so far as to
be ready to make report before the latter
part of the week. In the mean time Hunt
ington's forces are making hay" His
men are all good workers and they know
just how to keep their mouths shut to out
siders while they are fixing in the several
approved ways the men they need.
AS far as can be heard there are few
men who are strongly in favor of the
Goebel bill, and they so express themselves
when questioned; but while they will sup
port it when it comes up, they are not
making it their business to win over others
to its support. No one else is doing so.
On the other hand, Huntington's men are
in force and active in getting members
committed to opposing the bill. They
recognize GoebePs strength in the Senate
and they are combining themselves princi-
pally to the members of the House, where
they place their reliance in case the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee makes a report
favering the passage of the bill.
The fight may be longer than antici-
pated, and In the discussion other
committees, both of the Senate and
House, will cut some figure. The lists
of those likely to take any part are as fol-
lows:
