The next thing In order with the Junta
organization is the appointment by
Chairman Sullivan of the arbitration
committee of fifteen. Boss McNab has the
committee nearly fixed up and things are
being fixed up in the Forty-fourth and
Thirty-fourth ready for ratification by the
arbitration committee within a few days.
The Junta proposes to go right ahead to
the State Convention. The Buckley
people are putting forth talk of compro-
mise on an open primary, but there
appears no chance that the Rainey side
will accept. They feel strong and the
whole prize is worth playing for.
The Buckley people are preparing
for rousing effort and hot campaign
and the sending OF rival delegation to
the State convention. The Raineyites.
count on their friend Gould putting their
delegation on the temporary roll and their
getting in their 162 votes on tie selection
of temporary chairman who will ap-
point friendly credentials committee.
The Buckley people say this is never done
when there are contesting delegations, and
there will be huge row at Sacramento II
this is attempted.
Buckley is spending the week at Ravens
wood. Meantime the Buckleyites are ex-
pressing their intense Indignation at the
action of the State Central Committee last
Saturday, and especially at Chairman
Gould who was so unfair a partisan of Mo-
Nab during the dispute.
They are getting ready to do whole lot
beginning next week. There will first be
big meeting of the general committee at
Odd Fellows Hall on Monday evening.
AT that meeting their best orators will de-
nounce Gould, McNab, ct al, and series
of hot resolutions will also express the
general Buckley protest.
Then there will be a series of district
mass-meetings to do more denouncing and
to whoop up the factions interests gener-
ally. The action of the State Central Com
mittee is felt as hard punch in the eye
from Gavin McNab. Now they know what
they have got to do, and they propose to
jump into a hard and probably long
fight, with Chris Buckley, and long list
OF able and experienced partyworkers
with them.
Congressman Mcguire is counted on to
stand strongly with them as being the
regular organization. in spite of the move
that Gavin McNab was able to make with
his proxies. Mcguire was asked by tele-
graph day before yesterday If he still stood
where he did when he left for Washington
and the Congressman repied in the follow
ing telegram that lie did,:
WASHINGTON, D. c., March I6, 1896.
NJ J. Donouaa 1i7s Market Street: Can only
reiterate my statement in B. B. Hall. Motion
to adjourn sine die was not put nor voted on
by committee. The only remedy is fair pri-
mary under impartial auspices.

ait is generally known" said Senator
NJ. ]. Donovan yesterday, "that at the last
State convention, Gavin McNab nominated
Judge Mcguire for Governor, with Budd's
proxy in his pocket, and then went back
and told people 10 vote for Budd. under

this trouble. As to the State convention,
if we are not recognized we will undoubt-
edly send to Chicago conte sting delega-
tion from the Fourth and Fifth districts"
Maguire's stand means great deal in
this factional fight. 1t is an exceedingly
strong help for the Buckley side and a loss
to the other side. Mcguire took his stand
on the start on the ground that in all right
and fairness the side he approved was the
legal and regular organization and that
the alleged adjournment sine die was
political trick to be classed with McNab's
turning out the gas. But since Daggett
has secured a controlling interest in the
other side, Maguire's affiliation with the
Jun,a would seem an utter impossibihty,
so bitter is the personal enmity between
the two. Daggett would hardly help back
to Congress the man he swore he would
run out of town.
