Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

SUo broadway, sept. II.
Much interest is expressed in the In
dependent convention, which has been
called to meet at Germania Hall next
Friday evening. There is a good deal Of
dissatisfaction regarding some of the
nominations, especially on the So-called
fusion ticket, and there are some indie
pendent Republicans who, finding they
could not win at the primaries, still per-
nit the political bee to buzz, and they
are now being led on to try to get on the
ticket.
The peculiar manner in which the Sill
yer Republicans were placed in the posi-
ton of nominating a gold-bug Republi-
can-Henry Dalton for Assessor-is still
the leading topic of conversation among
the Demo Populists. Very few people
knew that there was a Silver Republi-
can organization in this city and no one
knows who appointed the committee with
power TO treat with the Democrats and
Populists. The result of II all is that
the Democrats are now casting around
for a strong candidate TO put up for AS
SCISSOR and probably one may be nomin-
ated by the Independent convention on
Friday.
There was also another Independent
movement called the Non-Partisan party
and this seems to have collapsed with the
passing from the political arena Of
George Hunt, whose shattered mentality
has prevented him from doing anything
more in his Independent race for Sheriff.
1t is now probable that nothing more
will be heard of the Non-Partisan move
ment. 1t never received much support
and was generally regarded as the last
effort of a few soreheads.
All over the county so-called fusionists
are In revolt and hourly the feeling of
pecially, feel that they have been COM
pletely swallowed. Their standing is not
SO great prospectively as 1t is at the pres
ent time. Now they fill three of the most
lucrative and fat-from patronage point
of view-offices in the county, whereas at
the fusion convention they were only
the slightest hope of electing any of
their nominees.
Aaron Bretz has the middle-of-the-road
end of the party; the Silver Republicans
grasped all the offices for which there
was even a ghost of fighting chance,
and ii looks as though the Fusion Popu-
lists were not leading q forlorn hope.
Morris Isaacs, a prominent merchant OF
this city, has issued statement In re-
ply to Rabbis Friedlander and Voorsang-
the Forty-eighth Assembly District Good
Government Club. Mr.. 1saacs says5
Several articles have been published in the
newspapers OF this city rejecting upon the
methods of those who compose the Good Gov
eminent Club of the Forty-eighth Assembly
District. In vindicatioys OF those vilihed
ing explanation
With all due Difference 10 Rabbs Friedlander
and Yoorsanger (Mr. Sol Kahn included. II so
desired), let us take as supposition that they
right in their opinions publicly ex
pressed in respect to the wrong doing of certain
Hebrews In forming q political club for the
purpose of receiving the same political recogni-
ton their Christian neghbors. Are they
(the rabbis) right in expressing themselves as
they have done through the public press in
holding up to ridicule those who supply them
with bread and butter (fguratively), or should
these foreigners whom
consider too ignorant to understand their po-
and logical argument reasoned those ''igno-
ramuses' back to the right path?
The above is only supposittious argument.

the lie to those who have unauthoritatively
stated that only Jews belonged to the club.
The constitution and bylaws of the organiza-
