HE BELIEVES IN BUDD.
Joseph Steff ms Says Things Are
Well at the Asylum.

SACRAMENTO. Oct. % Joseph Stef-
nus, trustee of the Stockton syIum, was
seen by representative of The CALL this
afternoon and asked what had been his
observations of Governor Bpdd's attitude
IN matters pertaining TO S ate institutions.
I'm the first place said Mr.. Sieffins, II
do not believe IN holding any Governor
responsible for all the quarrels and
wrangiing which NAV come up in the
various institutions. In speaking of the
management at Stockton | can say tn I
no such an institution in the United
; ates Is on higher plane of efficiency,
economy and general excellence OF man.
agement. Governor Buud's recent ap-
pointments OF Woods and Doyle are as
good selections as could be made. No
men OF any party would be more faithful
ard devoted than these two. Without
one dollars cost 10 the State they give the
Stockton asylum much of their valuable
time. and conduct il as carefully as
though il were a personal business ventul e
for nrIvate profit.
Now, this Is the point | make. II
these lnsinuations against Governor Budd
were based upon ruth we certainly would
have had some evidence OF II at Stockton.
IL cur present Governor Is paying political
de0ts to the sacrifice OF public service be
certainly would have commenced at
home. On The contrary, however, a his
home, where he knew his men from years
OF personal acquaintance, he has secured
the very best service To be had IN the
community. These troublesome instiiu-
tions are due to the locality and not TO
mistakes OF the Governor. Didn't Mark
ham have the same difficulty? Notwith-
standing he lived in the locality OF w nit
tier great troubles and cries of nlisman-
agement arose. / am about as strong a
party man as you could find. and if Gov

am sure | am the last man 10 whom he
would ever owe an obligation of that
character.

themselves TO the effect that il did not
make much difference what man the
Democrats nominated, as he could not be
elected.
John 7. Dare, the Appraiser. said:
those candidate Is he 10 be? The
Democrats Who then will the single
takers nominaIe2 l am informed that he
will be the nominee of the Democratic
party ! can conceive of a platform upon
which Mcguire might stand with some
hope OF success before the people. but 1t
seems A-;ne that ss Mcguire has hereto
fore made his own platform tn. question
remains, how many can he cali TO the
support of tile platformP Personally, the
Democrats cou not 40 better than to
nominate Mr.. Mcguire. Tue next Gov
ernor OF the Sta;e of California will be a
Repu blican, but If we must endure four
years more of Democratic Governor
Mcguire is the least Objectionable man
mentioned IN the Democratic party"
Colonel J. p. Jackson, Collector of the
Port, said: II think Judge MagnIre is the
strongest candidate that the ID mocrats s
could nominate for the Office OF Governor,
but, as the State is going TO elec: Repub-
lican next time, relative degrees oil
strength in the Dem ocTatic camp are not
material. ! note that Judge Mcguire de-
clares that his single-iaX policy will De
ignored for the time being and form no
part of the issue in the campaign. A man
who is so positive in ms convictions and
so leading an exponent of this important
principle IN politics will not be allowed by
the people TO suppress or ignore what has
been leading principle in his political
life. He will certainly be expectet 10 ex-
pound and defend il. Judge Mcguire
cannot help being something of a plat
form IN himself, as he is man of such
positive convictions and so courageous In
the expression of them. 1t will be i'm
possible, therefore, for him to keep the
people from considering b i'm the exponent
OF the single-.ax theory here, even as
Henry George is in New York.
While this feature o. bis policy might
have made him very popular in cities il
Will work Just the opposite way i'll the
country, where the farmers will not be
willing to have all the taxes needed by the
Government placed upon their farms,
ranches, orchards and whey ards.
The decided improvement In the con-
dition OF our State by virtue of the pass
age of the protective tariff and other Re-
publican measures already done aad

ta.nly give this State TO the Republicans
and the extreme earnestness in the Re-
publican camp among so many good men
IN that party when the nomination i
given is pretty far index Of the general
conviction that the nomination by the Re-
publican State Convent n Will indlcat lie
pretty conclusiveIy who will occupy the
gubernatorial chair for the next four
years.
My impression is that the free-.ilver
advocates will not be Gbls 10 unite with
the POpulists or the genuine Demo
cratic party, and Sequen;ly free silver

sition in the next cam paign as i; did in the
