Democratic circles are in turmoil over
the announcement that the blind boss of
other days Will arrive in the city from the
East to-day, and speculation is rife as to
how much OF a figure the blind boss VIII
cut in the present campaign. Buckley's
friends-or some who consider themselves:
his friends-say that he is out of politics
for good and all; that with the. turning.
down of Rainey his last political dream
was fulfilled, and he is now content to
HE himself to his Livermore foot-juicery
and enjoy the fruits of his long and ac-
tive career. 9-#--... 49, r 80: =
But there are others-and they, too as
sert strong claims to the Buckley conf
dence-Who assert that before the cam
paign is much older the erstwhile boss
will be very much in evidence. 1t is
noteworthy that these claimants are di-
vided in opinion as TO which camp of
Democrats Buck will pitcn his tent
This may seem strange, but 1t is none the
less a fact that both factions are hoping.
The Phelanites take it for granted tnat
he will line up with them in the big rush,

a crowd that eschewed primaries, but
would find it much to his liking to mix
with them-Rainey included-take fall

However, Buckley will soon be on the
field and it Will not take him long to let
the world know where he is at" =.
There is every prospect Of pretty lit
tie fight in the Twentieth Senatorial Dis
trict. Eugene F. Bert is up for re-elec-
ton. and against him in all probability
the Republican nomination If he will ac-
cept it, and there does not seem to be
any material opposition to Gesford. Both
are Native Sons and stand high in that
order; both are well-known lawyers. and
both have scores of warm personal friends
