Special Dispatch to THE CALL.


SACRAMENTO, Nov. 3.-The battle is
over and milk white flag floats over the
crum bling ramparts of Rider and Laroux.
But will Mayor Land accept the truce? is
the question. Will he permit the men
who arrayed the "ragtag" of the town
against him to now come in out of the
storms of winter and ply their yocations ?
Will Mayor Land listen to their denials Of
treachery. overlook the ingratitude of the
menials who have fed from the c!um bs OF
his table, or will his willing ear be
turned to those who live uptown and
whose pure and unpurchased ballots made
him Mayor Those who have known
William Land for thirty years declare the
latter course Will be pursued by him.
The pooirooms were 10 have opened to-
day, but this contingency has arisen !:
Will Land permit it2 Will Sacrament 10
be q "wide-open" town for the next two
| years, or viii William Land listen TO the
| voice OF the people who elected him and
start out W it'll an administration OF which
| he will be proud when his term is overp
| The odds are on his pursuing the latter
| course. Said a prominent uptown Re
publican tonight: If Will am Land
| gives this city the administration be-
lieve he will, he will close the poolrooms,
and starve out these yellow-facad tinhorn
| gam blers who fought him yesterday on
! Second street. 1t will make him some day
the Governor of this State"
There is no question but that great
things are expected OF new Sacramento's
new Mayor. There is no question but that
! William Land vii fulfill the most tiatter-
! ing expectations of his many friend.
