So far as the Democratic party is con-
cerned. there is no movement in favor
of the nomination of a citizens ticket
this fall, but when it comes to the Re
.ublicans. matters are different. There
seems to be a s-ltiment prevailing
among the recherche element of the
party thai unless some measures are
taken to avoid it. the Democrats are
going TO carry the city this fall. and
from an event of that kind it is good
Lord deliver us.
There is one element of the party.
however which win fight citizens
movements until the last ditch is
reached, and that is the element head
ed py Joe Cottle and Tankmaster Ur-
"a.
Tine was when everybody in the city
knew Joe as the boss Of the Fifth pre-
cinct, but for the last two years ne has
been buried UP the canyon where he
has a job chasing" and he has not
been seen with that frequency which
characterized his personality in the
days of 80, 81, '92, '93, '94 and '95. Joe
Grasses up the canyon after fishermen
and then chaSes down again every day
in the year. OF late he has been hold
ing meetings with the men up there,
acting as president, while Urrie officiat-
ed as secretary and kept the minutes,
and everything elsa which was loose.
There was a meeting Saturday and
another one Monday. There will be one
today and one tomorrow; the places be-
ing just where Joe'S cart happens to
c>--ce in contact with the men. Joe
o Brlen is not present at any of these,
because he is persona non grata" with
Cottle. If anyone wants to know why,
just ask Cottle and then ask O'Brien.
and between the two stories he will get
the correct reason.
The result of these meetings are al
wa>rs the same. Sort of sem9er idem
affairs, are they. Tney begin with Joe
urging all the men TO stand for a
straight party ticket. unless Glendin-
ming can be nominated on a citizens
ticket, and Urrie saying You bet yer
life; that's straight talk we're giving
YOU" They end in much the same
manner. Each man is asked how he
would like to find himself out of a job
in the middle of the winter in the next
year OF grace, and is told that if Jim
isn't reelected that's what it means.
AS a result, every man in the canyon,
and their names are legion, is talking
for all he is worth for straight ticket

Next to Glendinning, Cottle's especial
friend is Diehl. Now. whether Chris
wants to go back to the council or be
elected treasurer is a problem the old
gentleman has not solved himself as yet
but that the crowd up City creek will
do something for Diehl' is certain.
Diehl lives in the precinct occupied by
Cottle. and from remarks made by
wicked and designing enemies of Joe,
has been the means of keeping his job
for him.
Some time ago friends of Diehl began
talking of him for the treasurer job,
and ever since that day Jack May has
had chills every time the old man put
his face in the office. They say. too,
that one can hear George Olsen's teeth
chatter for block. He has quite a
boom on in embryo. and if the conven-
ton was to be held tomorrow. would
make a race which would scare some
of those who think they are in it,
Cottle caught on to the idea as soon
as it was announced in the papers and
from that day to this he has been
working to achieve a double purpose,
the election of Jim and Chris.

Major d. l.. Levy is being mentioned
by several of his friends as a candidate
for the Office of city recorder. II he
should get the nomination, there is a
young man named Emery who would
the votes were counted.
Several of the recherche Republicans
want Henry w. Lawrence to run for
mayor on citizens ticket. The men
ton of his name, however, in certain
quarters, and especially UP the canyon,
is like shaking a red rag in front of a
bull. Henry is a Populist, and they do
not like Populists.

John Stubs and Galeazzi are going
to organize the anarchistic party. John
is angry. He appeared before Commits
sioners Rawlins and Hall yesterday and
asked for work. John seems to think
this government is a paternal OLD affair,
and when business Stacks up the gov
eminent ought to start something going
10 keep him employed, although it is
noticeable when he does get anything
to DO. he spends great deal more time
in educating" his fellow workmen than
circumstances warrant
The two commissioners told John
they had no work. Then John got
angry. He informed them that ne had
q rifle down home. A good rifle. A bang
up rife with which a good marksman
could shoot the eye out Of pig as far
as he could see the eye. He intimated
that if he could get work enough to en-
able him to buy some cartridges he
would proceed to turn society over and
establish a government where men
could get job when they needed it,
The commissioners told him again
they had nothing for him TO do, and
then John hunted UP Gally and the
two agreed, so Gally says, to start the
anarchistic party and go out on
bowling, wild, blooming rampage dur
ing which they would smear the opal
ascent skyland with gouts Of gore.
There vii be terrible results. Society
will be overturned and new regimes
established. There will be work for
everyone and more too.
