THEY WILL Be
IN TIE FIELD
Followers Of Kelly and Ma
honey Preparing for a
Convention.
Are Planning to Nominate a
Board of Fifteen Free
holders.
The Buokleyites Will Meet Monday
Night, to Discuss the Political
Situation.

The Kelly Mahoney wing OF the local
Republican party is going TO place a free
holders ticket in the field. That part OF
the programme has been arranged. Pro-
lection Hall, in Shiels bui!ding, has
been hired for next Tuesday evening"
when a nominatins convention will he
held. The leaders OF the faction have not
yet determined upon tho other features
of the programme. They say that they
are not satisfied with either OF the tickets
already named.
Some of the followers OF Kelly favor a
pan of nominating a ticket comprised OF
six Democrats SIX Republicans and three
Populists, who have not been named by
either OF the other conventions. 1t is prob
able, however, that the six Re publican
nominees Of the Citizens Charter Con-
vention will be indorsed and that the
other nominees will be selected from
among Democrats and Populists who are
being canvassed by the i-Charter
party of the last campaign.
The Anti Charter people are better
known under the more appropriate title
OF Buckley's "business men," They tried
20 force themselves on the ticket at the
last election as the representatives of the
local Democracy. and after being beaten
before the Democratic State Central Com
mittee they carried their ii ht for recos-
milton into the courts. They again met
with defeat and finally got their nominees
on the ticket by petition. under the desig-
nation OF be Anu-Charter party.
The ticket was badly showed under and
it was believed that the "basiness men"
had permanently retired from the field of
politics. They have only been waiting for
an opportunity 10 again show themselves,
however, and they are of the opinion that
the election for freeholders will afford
them another chance 10 make preIense
of being alive. Several secret conferences
have been held by them during the past
two weeks and they now feel that they are
in position 10 come out and fight in the
open.
The first public signs of life will be
given by them tomorrow night when the
members OF the old convention will as
semb in Pythian Castle to discuss the
n ter of nominating n Board of Free
holders 1t is claimed by the Anti Charter
leaders that Buckley is not the guiding
genius Of the movement, but the work ac-
mplished by them during the past few
days certainly bears earmarks of his
handiwork.
They claim that they have not been
properly recognized by their party, and
that in self defense they are again COM
pellt0 10 enter Tue pOlltlCdi arena. Iney
hope to be able to do politics with Kelly,
AMI if satisfactory Terms cannot be made
with him they will attempt to break into
the Rainey camp.
Although lne State conventions are yet
long way off, the residents of Sacra-
mento are working 10 secure them.
Circulars have been sent out to the State
committeeman of the several political par
ties asking them Tor support in securing
in no
capital city. The promise is made that
in no instance will the prices exceed the
ordinary rates. and that everything con-
ducive TO the Pleasure and enjoyment of
the delegates will be looked after by an
executive committee.
