The San Francisco call., 1898-05-29

The efforts of the Democratic State Central Committee to restore harmony in the camp of the local Democracy have failed A new county committee was appointed by the State Committee yesterday at the California Hotel on recommendation of the harmony committee, but the followers of Harney and Rainey are still sulking in their tents. After the State Committee meeting adjourned yesterday afternoon, several of the members of the old Harney committee declared that they would vote the Republican ticket at the next general election rather than submit to the dicta- ton of the men selected to supplant the old committees of the two warning 1ac- tions.
 Governor Budd, who is a member of the State Central Committee. attended the meeting and in the course of a speech declared that he Ecas not a candidate Tor United States Senator or for Governor. That news was received with pleasure by the friends of Congressman Mcguire, who feared that Governor Budd might go be- fore the next Democratic State convention seeking a renomination for the office he now holds. His public withdrawal from the Senatorial fight also surprised many, who thought that in the event of there being a Democratic majority in the next State Legislature he might seek to sue ceed Senator White.
 From the standpoint of harmony the meeting was anything but a success. The two local factions are in worse position now than they were before. The mem beTs of the Harney wing believe that they were unfairly treated and they will not submit to the decrees of. the State com mittee. The result will be a merry war among the Democrats between now and election day.
 The meeting was called to order short ly before noon hour by Chairman Afford, who announced that the first business for consideration was the report of the com mittee of nine appointed to reOrganize and harmOniZe the local factions.
 k. l.. Fitzgerald of Alameda, chairman Of the committee, read a lengthy report, recommending that neither of the con testing local factions be recognized and that in the stead Of both, the following committee of loo be appointed to manage the affairs of the local Democracy:

 After the reading of the report of the committee Byron Ball of YolO arose to q question of privilege and asked by what authority the State Central Committee constituted itself the guardian of the To- cal Democracy?
 Chairman Afford replied that the sub committee had been appointed at the quest of the contending local factions
 Ball thereupon said that the State Com Inittee was invading the rights of the cities of the State. It was his opinion that the State Committee had no right power or authority to interfere in local factional fights.
 W Brobeck of San Francisco followed in brief but pointed speech He said that never before in the history of the party in the State had there been such an attempt to usurp the rights of Dem ocrats. He claimed that the committee was not composed of men rODveTSant with the political feeling of the city Dem oCrats, and that under the circumstances they had no right to attempt to dictate just what should be done.
 Gavin McNab replied in defense of the committees report and said that the
