LOOK OUT FOR THE RooRBAcK

I TITH the closing days OF the campaign the
t6 usual Democratic roorback is due. The gen
n eral public is so familiar with that form OF dem
agogue rickery it is likely any great evil will re-
suit from the roorback when it comes and yet 1t Is
just as we'll for the voters to be on guard
The situation of the Democratic managers IS so
desperate that some audacous stroke deceive the
unwaryl andto catch fools may be. expected at any
time The effort of the ePhelantes TO win the indie
pendent vote has failed the attempt to buy with one
third the patronage OF the city the Rainey push has
failed the struggle to get self-respectng Democrats
torayto the support OF ticket nominated by self
constituted Committee of One Hundred job-chasers
has failed There is but resource lett-Phelan is
defeated unless large number OF voters can be
stanpeded at the last moment by the PRONUNCIATION OF
some extrayagant lie.
From the beginning the fused factions have made
their campaign in the city and through the State by
incessant misrepresentation, hunbug and downright
falsehoods The managers and the candidates OF the
party from Mcguire down have lodged every genuine
issue at stake in the contest and have sought
times to elude the vigilance of the people by the 81
lence of sneak canvass, commonly known as Still
hunt and sometimes to frighten them with buga-
boo accompanied by hideous discord of whoops,
boots and yells.
Such party is ready for the launching OF roor-
back and the situation prompts them to produce
one Ii postponed A1OHudy, Idst ddy
of:the canvass, but it may sooner. AT any rate
the people should be on the lookout for it.
The real issues of the campaign have all been clearly
stated TO the voters and the characters OF all the
didates are now we'll known. Any new story sprung
at this time very apt be false. The public, there
FORE must not be mised if a. series OF interviews
should be published in the Examiner with Coils P.
Huntingdon the Spanish Prime Minister and the
Enperor<of China in which each of those dgnitaries
will be made to declare desire for the defeat of Ma
guire and Phelan in order that California may be
made permanently subject to the Southern Pacific,
annexed to Spain and opened to Chinese immigration

THE SECRETARY OF STATE.

u MONG the Offices at stake in this contest which
I the Republican party must win in order to as
sure thoroughly efficient administration at
Sacramento is that of Secretary of State The duties
of the Secretary many, and of grave respon-
sibiity 1t is therefore, important that Republican
Governor should have in the State Office a stanch
Republican to cooperate with him.
For this Office the Republicans have nominated
Charles F. Curry, who is we'll known as one of
the earnest and loyal Republican workers the
State Born in Illinois in 1858, he to San Fran
cisco with his family in 1873, and with the exception
of two years spent in Washington, has ever since
been resident of this city.
He has always taken keen interest in public af-
fairs and politics In 1887 he elected to the
General Assembly from this city, and, although that
was his first OF legislative experience he was
chosen chairman of the San Francisco Assembly
delegation. In 1894 he made Republican nominee
for County Clerk, and such his personal popular
ty that he elected notwithstanding the fact that
it was Democratic year and most of the municipal
offices were filled by the candidates of that party
1t will be seen from this record that Mr.. Curry has
had ample experience in public service. He has
borne official responsibility and is an unknown
man. His party loyalty has been questioned
and he merits the support of the party throughout the
State

ATTORNEY NEUBERGER's NOSE.

HERE are few occasions on which nose be-
comes of particular interest save to the owner.
One OF these is when is by it, a
second when it is po1ed into other peoples affairs,
and a..third when it finds its way between hostile
thumb and finger and is subjected to the pang of
being tweaked
The claim has been set up that Moses Gunst has
tweaked the nose of Attorney Neuberger with intent
to clinch political argument. Such episodes be-
tween gentlemen might be passed ordinarily,
put the position held by Gunst in this community
makes ignoring OF the incident dereliction OF duty
He is a Police Commissioner, who spends much time
in Europe studying how to patrol Bernal Heights
artistically the ethics Of the locust club and the
amount of food needed by department horse.
When he sails admirers say, Nose Gunst has went.
Upon his return they herald the glad tidings from
sea to sea-"Mose Gunst has came" Therefore so
serious matter his pulling other than his
own becomes municipal if not national, concern
We do not hesitate to say that Mr.. Gunst, if he did
this was hasty. He ought, for the sake of dignity
providing of course, the organ really reprehen-
sible-have ordered policeman to do the work
fined him and paid the fine There would have been
satisfaction, but distressing scandal.
A complication arises from the allegation of Mr..
.Neuberger that the nose was not pulled, tweaked,
pinched or otherwise maltreated He was the
spot with the and ought to be qualified to Judge
OF course there dsinterested witnesses When
such events are to be observed everybody who hap
pens to see interested Probably, still enveloped
in mystery the episode will go laundering down the
ages.

THE MAN FOR ADMINISTRATOR

NNE of the strongest nominations made by the
| ] Republicans that of J. A. Drinkhouse to
- be Public Administrator From the first
there seemed to be no doubt as to the election Of
Mr.. Drinkhouse, but throughout the campaign he
has gathered support rapidly that his victory gives
every indication of being overwhelming
There is no position in which the requirements of
honesty and executive ability are more absolute than
in that of Administrator This official must handle
interests, often concerning heirs who are at
distance. 1t falls to him protect the widow and
the orphan. No one in whom the public did not
have the utmost confidence would ever be intrtisted
with the duties OF this place. receive nom
nation at the hands of the Republican party.
The candidate is known in business circles as the
head of the great ]. A. Drinkhouse Tobacco Com
pany, established in 1850, and located at Sacra-
mento and Battery streets. Aside from high stand
ing in the commercial world he is esteemed for per-
sonal qualities. and known to take generous inter-
est in ali matters of public concern In his long rec
ord there has been no STAIN He will carry into
Office the same characteristics which in private life
have won success. So popular is Mr.. Drinkhouse
that unsolicited he has received the Endorsement of
clubs embracing membership of over 5000 Each
acquaintance is friend and active supporter
Not only has the candidate these advantages but
the weakness of his opposition leaves him little to
overcome He is sure to receive the full party vote
and the votes of many Democrats.

DeArmond Popular Cand,dai"

Washington Post.
The chance that democrats may
control the neat house makes the
selection OF speaker of increasing
interest The developments of the
last six months make it very doubt
full whether Leader Bailey could be
| elected to that Office. The repu dia-
tion of him by the democratic caucus
and his efforts to defeat the rz-nomi
nation of some of the most eminent
southern members, notably R-pre
sentatlVes Allen and Catchipgs.
seems to point to his rejection IN
the fifty sixth congress. Even if the
democrats are then n minority they
will be, from present appearances,
much more numerous than ia this
house, aud the minority leadership
will be position of no little import
ance. Probably the most logical
man for democratic speaker or for
a democratic leader is Representative
David A. DeArmond of The sixth
Missouri district. In many respects
he has exceptional qualifications.
MIR. Bailey has alienated the north
ern democrats and displeased many
OF his political colleagues from the
south. Judge DeArmond will be
able to command support from
both sections. To start with, while

Colonel Bryan Wires That He Cannot Ente
the Nebraska Campaign.
| Lincoln, Neb., Sept IL In spite
of all reports to the contrary, the
State administration has been wireG
by Colonel Bryan that he will not BIZ
in Nebraska in time 10 take part il
the fall campaign The managers Of
the fusion campaign are very much
exasperated over the turn affairs
have taken concerning the Silver
Battalion. As a matter of fact very
large percentage of the privates, and
all OF the officers of Colonel Bryan &
command are fusion politicians OF
more or less influence. The loss OF
such a body means a very potent
menace to the fortunes of the fusiC u
forces of the state
Governor Holcomb has repeatedly
wired to the War Department and
the members IF the Nebraska Con
gressional delegation in Washington
to have the Silver Battalion muster
ed out at once. In fact the War
Department has declared now that
the Third Nebraska will be held
until peace is formally declared
In the meantime there have been
numerous charges made by leading
democratic and popuIistic campaign
managers in the state that Colonel
Bryan is being deliberately kept
away from the state in order to affect
the RI suit on election day However,
Colonel Bryan refuses TO intimate
such a thing, though he has been
called upon 10 do so by the Ne
braska state officials. He replies
that b. will have nothing to say
