Moffitt to gain his hearts desire is to run
for the nomination for Congress from the
Third District Democratic Convention.
Although he will not give definite opin-
ion regarding his Congressional desires, 1t
is known that he has said he could have
the nomination if he wants it, and 1T Is
generally believed he wants 1t.
The only thing that seems to oppose
such conclusion is his statement tonight
that he may not go 10 Sacramento. This,
however, is characteristic of the man. He
never shows his hand till he is called, and
then it is generally found that it is a full
one. Mr. Foote remarked a few days ago
that if he did not show gratitude to Moi
fit for all the political fealty the ex-Sen-
ator has evinced for Foote he (Foote)
would be recreant in his friendship. This
practically indicates that Foote would
help Moffitt to obtain whatever he might
desire. Moffitt, if he makes a fight. will
have the support of Foote, the Englishes,
2. E. Dalton, D. Hirshberg and all their
followers, and, as has been shown, of all
the interior OF the county.
He would have to meet all his old an
tagonists. Both Fitzgeralds, John P.
ployes OF the Mint, would all work against
him. and in such an event the recent
primary would be like a schoolboy battle
compared to an old-time prize fight.
Among those who Will go to Sacra-
mento tomorrow are: Postmaster White
and his son, William, who has the creden-
tials from the Third Ward, and John Nc
Donald, who contests the seat and OBJ
tanned the largest number OF votes, but
was upseated by the county committee.
Mcdonald has made no contest openly.
He ignored the offer to produce evidence
before the committee claiming that it had
no jurisdiction and that the matter could
only be settled at Sacramento.
A great deal of curiosity has been evinced
regarding the authorship of the contest
against the seat of w. w. Foote, filed with
the State Central Committee. 1t is said
that no one could have filed it but K. NJ
Fitzgerald, and it is not reasonable that
he could have filed it, on the ground that
the County Committee had no authority
to appoint as he recognized the authority
of the committee by being himself can
didate for delegate-at-large. AS Daggett
has so often asserted that he has no inter-
est in the fight in this county he certainly
is too much Of diplomat TO have inspired
openly its filing, and while everybody is
surprised, the most surprised man OF all is
FOote him self.
Little has been heard of the Alameda
contest, although it is believed that Fitz-
gerald, by his committeeman from Ala
media, John T. Flemming, will make a
vigorous ngnt. flemmlng mas always
been considered strong Moffitt man, and
it was great surprise to Laymance when
he found that Flemming had taken the
necessary step TO formulate contest.
Laymance now has twenty-one votes
and Fitzgerald fourteen. Six are con-
tested and all by Fitzgerald. Should the
contestees be seated Fitzgerald will have
twenty and Laymance fifteen, and this
will completely turn the tables Altogether
there is much to lure the local Democracy
to Sacramento.

Some of the wise politicians assert that
he will capture the works.
A ]. Clunie, DR.. Stanton, Railroad Com
missioner, Thomas Glynn, Recorder, Sam
Braunhart and Samuel Newman, Secre-
tary of the Railroad Commission, left for
Sacramento at o'clock last evening.
A. ]. Clunie expressed hope, if not con-
fidence, that some other Democrat than
Frank Gould would be elected chairman.
He said: 'Of the 100000 Democrats in
California, he is the only one that is not
acceptable to our delegation. Let the con-
vention select any one else and we will be
satisfied Our delegation is going there

that the Junta proposes that we shall not

Junta delegates will have tickets issued to
them which will give them seats in the
convention circle. 1t will be contrary to
the established order eff precedence in

TALKS WITH DELEGATES,

Expressions and Prophecies From
Different Parts of the State.
J. Buckingham of Ukiah, one of the
Mendoclno County delegates and for six
years chairman of the First Congressional
District, was at the Grand yesterday try.
ing to feel the pulse of the convention
through some of the delegates gathered
about him.
1.-THE convention" he asserted, twill
pass an anita. P. A. resolution and an
anti-funding resolution: it will go for sill
yer, though individually I'm gold man,
and it will simply ignore woman's suffrage.
l am personally opposed to woman's suf-
frage, but Pm willing to give the women
trial. If the women who would interest
themselves in politics were all Anna
Shaws l would favor it. If l thought ev-
cry woman in this country-good, bad
and indifferent-would take an active part
l would heartily favor equal suffrage, be-
cause there is more good than bad in the
world.
"The Congressional fight in the First
District will probably be deferred to some
future time. | have heard good deal of
talk of running Caminetti against Grove
Johnson in the Sacramento district. The
delegates at large will probably be Steve
White for Southern California some other
good man from the City here and Tom
Geary from Northern California. / do not
believe White cares a cent whether his
name is mentioned for President or not
Gould of Stockton seems to be the strong
candidate for chairman. / see no effective
opposition to him."
The Santa Clara delegation, or that part
of it represented by Chairman. Hicks, Sec
retary A. r. Denike, Peter Ball and w. B.
Rankin, say that their county is solid for
Victor A. Scheller. the ex-District Attor-
ney, as a candidate for Congress.
And if Stephen White should care for
the presidency they are solid for him too.
AS to the money question the delegation
does not know where it is. Some are for
gold. Barney Murphy, the San Jose
banker, is their choice for delegate-at-
large, but if the convention declares fer
silver that will probably count Barney
out. The chairmanship is a subject on
which the San Joseans do not wish to ex-
press themselves, but it seems generally
understood that Santa Clara's twenty.
three delegates are not in favor of Gould.
They can all agree, however, that there
should be an anita. p. A. resolution.
Santa Barbara's delegates are solidly
opposed to the A. P. A. There is some
talk, also, among them and the other
Southern Californians of running Don Car
los de la Guerra of Santa Barbara for
Congress, should George S. Patton of Los
Angeles not care to make the fight against
Congressman Bowers.
De la Guerra is one of the last of the
proud old Spanish family of that name,

DAGGErT IN THE EVENING.

and Defines His Position.
There was quite a troop OF Democratic
war horses at the Grand Hotel last even
ing. Chief among them was John Dag
gett, Superintendent of the Mint, who
exchanged views with Daniel Ostrom of
Yuba, Judge McGarvey of Mendoeino, E..
C. WINS of San Luis Obispo, ]. F. Coonan
and D. l. Allard of Humboldt, NJ. R. Mer-
ritt, chairman of the Democratic commit
tee of Monterey County, and Senator
Sewell of Ukiah.
The x-Lieutenant-G Governor and the
head of the Federal brigade in California
was never more persuasive. He IS at
home when he meets the rural Democrats
and xplains the peculiar iniquities of
metro politan politics, Between talks to
delegates Mr.. Daggett yielded to an inter-
view for THE CALL
He was asked the plain, straight-out
question if the administration Democrats
proposed to go to Sacramento and try to
stem the current of sentiment in favor of
the free coinage of silver. He said al
am going to Sacramento a O'Clock in the
morning, and you know that there is no
use of holding convention unless opin
ions on leading public questions are dis
cussed. Now, l am somewhat averse to
being interviewed because l have been

has not always stated my position correct
". | am not an advocate OF the single gold
standard, as many people have been told.
| am for bimetallism. Frankly, can say
| am opposed to the free coinage of silver,
and 1 am going to the convention as
State Democrat with the hope that we may
reach a common ground of agreement on
the money question. If the convention
declares for the free coinage of silver we
must accept that declaration. 1t is mis-

take to suppose that / have interfered in
San Francisco local politics. | have kept
out of the party disputes in this City, but
l do take an active interest in public ques.
tions wherein the Democrats OF the State
are concerned."
Senator Dan Ostrom's s gold-headed cane,
new one massive and handsome, was the
object of much admiration. Daggett's eye
cleaned with pleasure when he saw it,
but the Senator hastened TO explain that
the cane was gift from six of his boys on
his last birthday, and had no political sig
niicance whatever on the money question.
II am for the free coinage of silver" said
Mr.. Ostrom to THE CALL reporter. You
ought to travel around the State and talk
with the farmers whose homes are mort
gagged to comprehend how deep the feel
ing is on the silver question. OF course,
know" continued Mr.. Ostrom, "that the
money question and the tariff are not re-
sponsible for all the misfortunes of the
producing classes. The greatest trouble
is that.we are taxed to death locally. You
have not yet felt it in the City as we have
in the country, because the City is richer,
but the distress when it does reach the
City will stay longer. Right here in San
Francisco you are paying twice as much
per annum to run your local government
as the amount expended to run the whole
State for a year under Governor Irwin s
administration"
Diverging from taxes to silver the Yuba
statesman observed: II cannot see how
John Daggett expects to stem the current
for free silver, which will surely be found
in the State Convention. l do not think
that he can make any headway against it.
Every body that / see is for free silver"
DO you expect to go to Chicago?"
"Well, that is for the convention to de-
cide,' responded Mr.. Ostrom. 81 want to

Fitzgerald should be sacrificed even If the
credentials committee were not favorable
to Foote. This would be done by Daggett,
not for the purpose of making friends, but
Tor the purpose of not making more ene-

Although Foote'S friends are positive

THE RIO DE JANEIR0.
Conflicting RumOrs Regarding her
Return.
Nearly a Million In specie on Board.
Danger I'm Going Ahead-Inter-
view With First officer.

For forty-eight hours past there
have been rumors concerning what
seemed to be the mysterious turn
ing back of the Rio de Janeiro and
beginning a voyage OF 2200 miles
when their nearest port was 900
miles less.
The fact that the officers of the
steamer told a perfectly straight
story convinced the skeptics that
there was something very wrong
in the whole affair.
Chief Officer Robinson was seen
yesterday by an ADVERTISER re-
porter and questioned regarding
the rumors. He showed no hesita-
ton whatever in giving an account
of the voyage and supporting his
statement with his official log.
1--WE were just 1900 miles from
Yokohama" said Mr.. Robinson
when the captain decided to re-
turn. We had experienced bad
weather for a number of days, and
the force of the wind registered six,
seven, eight, and as high as nine.
When you consider that a hurri-
cane is reckoned as ten you will
understand the kind of weather we
had.
Sixteen days out from San
Francisco, the day we were actu-
ally due in Yokohama we consum-
ed fifty-six tons of coal and made
sixty-two miles. At this rate every
particle of our fuel would have
been exhausted, had we continued,
and we would have been miles
away from port with winds and
currents against us while in going
toward Honolulu we would have
both in our favor. 1t was only
after mature deliberation and after
a thorough canvass of the situation
that the steamer was turned about.
"The result was satisfactory to
every one," continued Mr.. Rob-
inson, "as we had wind and cur
rents with US and made 200 miles
on the consumption of fourteen
tons of coal. If the current had
not been with us we could not have
done this"
SIS there any truth that you
have considerable specie on board ?"
was asked.
eyes indeedl" replied the chief
officer; "a great deal of truth. We
have nearly million dollars in
coin for China and Japan. And
this fact will probably cause con-
siderable uneasiness, apart from
the fact that the vessel and cargo
is valuable. But it is just such
occurrences as this that should ex-
pedite the passage of cable bill
and the completion of the line. AS
it is there will be considerable un-
easiness felt at our being nineteen
days overdue; with a cable the
anxiety would have ended ten days
sooner -
