CALL HEADQUARTERS. Sacra- mento, Aug 21.-All is in readiness for the big Republican convention. which is to convene here on Tuesday next. Secretaries Higgins and Steppacher Of the State Central Committee and a corps of assistants labored hard yes terday changing the appearance of Az ricultural Hall, in which the Democrats held forth last week.
 High above the platform from which the eloquence of scores of speakers has been heard, and in position of promi- hence, the features of President Will liam Mckinley gaze down on the tiers of seats which will be occupied by scores of delegates of every portion of the State. Beneath the splendid like ness the prophetic words Advance agent of prosperity have been placed as a reminder of what the administra- tion has accomplished.
 The pictures of Governor Budd. Sena- tor Stephen M. White and Judge Ma guire, the stalwarts of the Democratic party, will give way to such beloved standard bearers as Lincoln, Grant, Blaine and Sherman. About the con yention haH Old Glory will be seen in greater profusion than at the preceding gathering. The festoons that beauti- fled the hall will remain, but further charm will be added by numerous nlants gathered about the structure. The pictures of modern heroes-Schley.

MAKES A QUIET CAMPAIGN. Quakerlike Canvass of M. J. Wright, Incumbent and Candidate for
 Surveyor Generals Office.

CALL HEADQUARTERS SACRA- MENTO. Aug ~21.-During the canaNass four years ago an unassuming, unpreten- tious and silent individual passed over the State as quietly as Quaker parson would move among the members of his flock. Without the slightest warning he would suddenly appear In city or town and in many instances it would be day or two before the object of his visit would be known.
 He appeared to be no more anxious to leave than he was noisy in coming. He moved around leisurely and had pecul- far habit of gently holding on to your hand after he had been presented in an introduction About the fourth day of his visit he would prepare to take his depart yre and just at the time the train or stage was about to pull out he would incldent- ally drop the information that he was candidate for Surveyor General on ln6 State ticket and would appreciate 1t very much If his newly formed acquaintanceS would keep 1t in mind. Some pltied 1e tne old fellow as they were pleased to call him: others laughed and a few suspected that there must be something wrong with a man who would take such a course III the pursuit of an office. When the young day came the vote for the silent man was certificate and for four years past M J. Wright of Tulare has been holding the or fee of Surveyor General. He seems to be following the same course again Tn the matter of securing the nomination Tor second term. and as there IS no one portunity of travelling through the State again In search of votes after the fashion of a Quaker parson mingling with his flock,

George Root and his chief aid, Charles Johnson, are work ing for the same end, as is also Louis H. Jacobs. l. E. Sheehan and w. F. Reynolds, all of San Francisco.

CALL HEADQUARTERS. SACRA- MENTO. Aug. 21-It Is not too much to say that there were several delega- tions which left San Francisco with an idea that they would carry all things
 before. them, and it naturally follows that some people are to be disappointed. There was Gage, for instance. MT. . Gage has a large following. He Is man who has the advantage of pleas ing. presence. He is still young, but
 he has the gray hairs which bespeak
 wisdom. That Gage enters the hght with a full knowledge of what awaits him is evident He does not think that : the: way is clear. He realizes that there are other aspirants. and that some of them have a reasonable chance. While Gage comes into the conflict reasonably confident he knows there are others.
 Mir: Pardee came to Sacramento on an earlier train. There were those who caifed 1t a special train, but no matter. If Pardee can afford a special train. he has right to it Certainly the matter is one between himself and the rail- roao and whether or not he pays the bill is a subject of no possible interest here. Of course there were on each train no end of aspirants for office - So .7ie of these had been heard of be- fore. or some will never be heard of again and yet 'i is interesting to watch their courses.
 There was, for instance. Willis G. yVftter who arrived in Sacramento to- night and gave out the declaration that. he wanted to be Attorney General Writer was once Assistant United states District Attorney. He has been practicing law in San Francisco for ten rs and he is out to pluck the plum from Ford and Guy who seem to be his most formidable opponents. Of course thare is no telling yet what might hap pen.
 ttronged tonight. During the Demo- cratic convention there was nothing like it. I am unable to say what the result may be, but surely the Demo- crats who were here last week never had such hope as inspires the candi- dates now in evidence. At least the 'nresent aspirants hope that they will be elected if nominated. while those here last week had nothing to hope for beyond the doubtful glory of nomi- nation.
 cisco. About the quarters of Gage and Pardee there was an air of quiet which Indicated a regard for churchly tradi- tions On the way to Sacramento
 however things were somewhat diff : ferent. but of course this is a subject not: to be mentioned here lest some .oIIestion arise as to the standing of the principals, a delicate matter not to
The San Francisco call., 1898-08-22

handle now. Pardee may be very pious and Gage particular as to the carrying on of the campaign, but as the thing Is started they cannot help themselves.
 Gage train. Patton Is a candidate for Governor, although he has not said much about it, and possibly might fall into the place of Lieutenant Governor. Of course there was much political gos- sip throughout the train which brought the chief aspirants to the capital, but of course 1t had no particular value and is not worth recording. Another day and the story may be known.

 The letter of Senator White not only serves as an answer to an ill-founded ru- nor. but sustains its author in the high esteern in which he has always been held by the people of California, irrespective of political differences. The fact, that Sen, ator White Is a personal and political friend of James G.
