 Clammy Shake.

CALL HEADQUARTERS. SACRA- MENTO, Aug. T.-The following corre- spondence passed to-day between George w. Monteith and Judge Mcguire:
 To the Hon. James G. Mcguire, Golden Eagle Hotel-My Dear Sir: A little over a month ago the question of effecting the union of the anti-monopoly forces against the railroad was before the Populist con- vention, and while conscious that num- Der of other Populists should ordinarily oppose any abandonment of our party independence, joined hands to bring about such a union, upon the definite un- derstanding that it was to be purely for the purpose of fighting the railroad mo- nopoly, carrying with 1t the idea that 1t should be an honest and earnest effort in that direction, and that no other out side influences should be permitted to dominate the movement.
 The proposition to nominate you for Governor, you being a Democrat. and op- posed to us on some vital questions, was not only radical one. but an expediency

DIR. BAUM NOW IN OFFICE. He Takes His Seat as Member of
 the Board of Health.

The Board of Health met in monthly session yesterday morning. Dr. Rudolph W. Baum, who was recently appointed by Governor Budd to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of pr. Henry H. Hart, took his seat as a member of the board.
 Mayor Pheian was absent, also Dr. Morse, who is i'll. therefore Drs Fitzger- aid. Baum and Williamson conducted the business of the meeting. Reports receiv- ed from the various institutions under the boards control were without special features, save that good conditions pre- vailed. Only one difficulty was noted and that was by Dr. Sussdorf at the City and County Hospital, where the quarters as- signed to the nurses are inadequate and some typhoid fever has resulted In conse- quence.
 Property owners and merchants in the lower part of the city, through H. P. Sonntag, asked the board to condemn cer- tain property on Jackson street between Sansome and Battery, as a nuisance and a menace to life. The Health Officer wac instructed to investigate.

as is usual in country places, IL was known that nearly three-quarters or the entire vote were for Metcalt before they were counted. CenterVilfe polled heavy vote, but at Niles the election was quiet PieaSanton turned out strongly. and at Decoto and Alvarado the polls were particularly lively. Hay wards also polled a big vote, and IL was noted that the Hilborn supporters were in the majority.
 The primary was certainly an eXpen- -sive one for the principals. Both can didates put up expensive organlza5,elIoIis' maintained large headquarters, dhd an enormous amount of printing ana sup piled an unprecedentedly large nun Der of vehicles. Even the badges were of an expensive nature being large, and, in the case of Metcalf, peautlIuIiy ornamented with a handsome satln American flag It was noticed that the carriages were not blanketed as usual with the names oflthe candidates, ana this was explained by one of the mana gers on the ground that many conser- vative people liked to be driven 10 the polls, but during the trip did not care to be advertised as being the supporter of any particular man.
 Victor H. Metcalf will be the nominee of the Republican Third District con vention for Congress. The prlmarles held in this county to-day resulted Tn a landslide in his favor, and he will go to the convention with eleven votes more than are necessary for a choice from this county alone.
 The result is exactly in line with The Calls prediction of this morning. A larger vote, by nearly 5000, was cast than at the Pardee-Davis primary last Saturday, but MT. Metcalf's proportion, though very large, was not so propor- tionately greater than MT. Hilborn's as Dr. Pardees was over the vote for MT. Davis. To-day, including scattering votes, there were 12,S00 ballots cast. Saturday there were 1925.
 Of the total vote Metcalf received 7S41 and Hilborn 4S33. The exact figures are as follows:

The Fourth Congressional District delegates will get together some time during the day and it is expected that they will take some definite action in regard to selecting a nominee.
 McNab, however, viii not be the choice. But he does not intend to let the public know that he has worked himself into such bad odor with his own delegation that he cannot secure the prize. The sit uation was made plain when McNab and the few friends he has left began to cir culate among the delegates late tonight, asking them to stand by him to the ex- tent of giving him a nomination which he faithfully promises to decline. He says he is not a serious candidate, but the experiment of nominating him is re- garded as dangerous. He might want to stick

O SACRAMENTO, Aug. 17.-To o the Editor of The Call-Sir: Now o that fusion upon the State ticket is a fact beyond a shadow of a o doubt the attention of all is be- ginning to be directed to the ( Congressional and other district 0 nominees. ( o It seems to be the general opin- Q ion that the fusion committee of o seven will report in favor of making district nominations at o this convention. o In the Sixth Congressional Dis o trict much has been said con- o corning the candidacy of Hon. o Charles A. Barlow, the in- o cumbent. An unfounded rumor o has been af1oat to the effect that he would not receive the Demo- o cratic nomination. For various reasons this has not been pub- ( o licly denied. I believe the Demo- o crats are honorable and true in ( o this matter and complete fusion o will be effected. In the Peoples o party he has a high standing. ( o One of the stipulations of the northern counties in the Sixth ( o Congressional District was his ( o unqualified indorsement by the ( o Peoples party convention. This ( o the Honorable MT. Barlow re- ( o received unanimously and'a com- ( o mittee was appointed to draft ( o resolutions commenting his Con- ( o gressional career. ( The people in his district are ( o unanimous in saying that he has ( o made the best Congressman ( since the district was organized. ( o His results in the San Pedro har- ( bor matter won for him many ( o friends in the south. Hon. Mar ( ion de Vries in the Second and o Hon. c. H. Castle in. the Seventh ( o Congressional District will be re- nominated without opposition.
