OaIIornla must have place in the Cao1-
net. Many Republicans have gone along
reiylng upon this assurance.
Many earnest Republicans and delegates
TO the sacramento convention have been
told that Judge Waymire would be the
dispenser OF Federal patronage, and that
among the gifts would be Cabinet posi-
tion but in view of the Judges disclaimer
THIS hope must be abandoned.
Inc loyal Republicans of San Francisco
are becoming weary of the impudent pre-
tensions OF Martin Kelly to represent the
hepubhcAn party. Delegates from the in
terror who assisted in giving such splen-
ala vote for Morris NJ. Estee are relied
upon to put quietus on the bold and cor
rupt scheme of Kelly and his aiders and
aoettors to seat his forged proxy delegates
from the Fourth Congressional District.

~ am not politician, but l am a

merchant in the corridor OF the Palace
Hotel yesterday, "and cannot for
a moment believe that the loyal
Republicans of California will ever
again permit Kelly to become the boss
OF the party in San Francisco. To do
SO wonld be to bring back the disgraceful,
corrupt machine which Mr.. Spreckels has
had the courage to attack and smash. To
recognize Kelly would be to disgrace the
party in San Francisco and the State. 1t
would be suicide.''
From interviews with many delegates
who are in San Francisco on their way to
Sacramento the assurance is given that
the Republicans of this City need have no
fear that Kelly and his methods will re-
celve the approval of the interior counties.
General N. P. Chapman is mentioned for
chairman of the convention. Frank u.
Coombs OF Napa is also spoken OF for the
office. It is not definitely known whether
Frank II. Short of Fresno will be can
didate for chairman. though his name has
been mentioned. There seems to be no
opposition to Speaker John Lynch for the
nomination for Lisutenant-Governor.

the Primaries.
DES MONIES, Iowa, May 3.-The con-
test in Iowa, it would seem, has been prac-
tically settled so far as the position of the
majority of the Democrats of the State on
the silver question is concerned. Yester-
days primaries elected 1874 delegates to the
State convention, OF which 132 were in
structed for free silver. In many of the
conventions held the contest was very bit
ter and the attendance of delegates and
spectators large.
In all the conventions the name of Gov
ernor Boies was received with much en-
thusiasm, and he will probably be elected a
delegate at large to the Chicago conven-
ton. The silver men are making a move
to have him selected as chairman of the
resolution committee and he will be backed
for the Presidential nomination by the en-
tire State if the silver men carry their
point at the Dubuque convention May 20.
