racy during the coming year that is to try

nounced in resolutions and, having given
the campaign committee the glad hand
and boost, they adjourned, leaving the
management of party affairs in its hands
The meeting was that of one OF the
three Democratic factions that has
the WORKS" and feels on top. The two
other factions were represented. A few
friends of Dictator Sullivan's people came
TO see and report and there were more OF
the Buckleyites-lots of them.
The meeting was not an exciting one,
simply because there was no opposition to
anything, the possible kickers all being in
two other camps.
Vice Chairman L. NJ. Manner called the
meeting TO order, and there was a roll l.
call, after which Secretary John +. Nc
Govern announced 245 of the 450 present.
The resolutions approved by the cam
palgn committee were not as fierce as
many expected. They were rea / by r. L..

and, whereas, such q proceeding is contrary to
the constitution of said general committee,
unwnrranted b. any rule of law or right, and
against the time-honored customs and primo

ResOiUed, That we, the General Com MI ttee of
the Democratic party of the city and county
OF San Francisco, denounce the action of said
Colonel W. P. Sullivan Jr. as arbitrary uncon-
stilional, subversive of every principle of nat
uraI light and calculated 10 disrupt the party
and foster the dangerous principle of one maj n
power; and
Resolped, That we pronounce said action of

How the Champion Made Game
Fight and Stood His

Peter Jackson has had a fight at last,
and the contest was witnessed by only a
few people.
Since Peters arrival in this city he ha 8
been going the pace that kills, his friends
having failed to induce the colored cham
pion to quit paying such close attention
to John Barleycorn.
On Wednesday morning Jackson hap
pened into a saloon on Ellis street, and
after having downed three or four big
horns of wet goods he grew laxative and
discussed with Harry Corbett and Andy"
Mcdowell The Cor bett and Jackson and
the Corbett and Fitzsim mons fights.
Peter the Great referred to Jim Corbett
as being a clever boxer and poor fighter.
o. course, Harry Corbett took um bragg at
this remark and told Jackson that he was
talking through his hat and that mis-
brother, Jim Corbett, could smother him
In short order.
After a rapid exchange of uncomp pill
| mentary remaks Corbett swung his right
and Jackson felt singing sens alton
under his left ear.
Now the battle was on, and rough
