The San Francisco call., 1897-11-06

with Bentley, Kent Devine and Brow : he
may say to Mckay, Douglas, Paine and
Dolan: Gentle men, l am as good a Re :
publican as any OF you, but my am mbition
to sit with YOU was Fratitied through the
magnanlmity OF the Democratic party
and for the time being | must remain true
to those who were true to me-" such a
speech as this would give the doctor the
votes of Bentley, Kent. avine ana Brown
for the presidency of the board.
On the other hand, the doctor may say
to Bentley, Kent, d vine and Brown:
Gentle men, L am now and always have
been a pronounced protective 3 aine-
Harrison Mckinley Republican. You
presented my name TO the people of the
First Ward without my asking; you pre-
sumed no doubt upon my election. That
presumption was we'll founded. If you
presumed, however, that such a choice
would be accep pied by me in sacrifice of
my party you pre- sumed too far"
Such a speech as this would give the
doughty doctor he votes of Mckay, Doug
las, Paine and Doian-tor the presidency of
the board. 1t looks as if Tebbets will be
president of the board. If he is put there
by Bentley, Kent Devine and Brown
what will become of the friends of Mckay
Douglas. Paine and Dolan? Or ii h is
put there by Mckay, Douglas, Paine and
Dolan what will become of the friends OF
Bentley, Kent. Devine and Brown?
at is easier to grab hold of some things
tonight, "and my friend Doc Tebbets
will find that out before he gets a few OF
us off his hands. Why, Doc is about all
we Democrats saved out of the difficulty
and he mustn't think now that he's
elected he can go back to his old training
quarters, cause he can't. He's our
honey boy now and we're going 10 keep
him. We need him in our business"
1t is barely possible that some kind of
compromise may be reached, and if so
the doctor will be the compromise candi-
date-so there you are.
The lobby of the Western Hotel pre-
sented very lively appearance all day,
and between the usual welcoming the
coming and speeding the parting guest,
and others who gathered around to extend
ngratulatlons to Mr.. Land, one would
have thought that Governor had been
made in Sacramento rather than a modest
Mayor.
There is one thing very evident, and
that is the universal feeling that such a
man has come to Sacramento as the times
demand" said a gentleman at the Sutter
Club yesterday; "a man who will take
and keep his place at the head of one of
he most progressive communities in the
United States. 1t is not at this time
question OF what William Land is going
10 do with little batch of sure thing
gamblers; 1t is the question of Sacra-
mento's progress and prosperity in her
present ventures along the line of giving
encouragement TO great and profitable in
dustries, agricultural and commercial. 1t
is not a question how poor fellows like
Rider and Doraux voted; it is one where
individuals are to be lost sight of in the
united endeavor cf 10000 people to make
a great city in place where every thing is
provided.
"lt is question of Greater Sacramento
greater streets. greater plans and greater
policies, greater progress. 1t is the ques-
ton of having the man at the helm who
will take up the labor of other public
spirited citizens. and promote Sacramento
