WRIGHT A PUZZLE.

There are yet five representatives
from this county toward whom all eyes
are turned. These men are:
SENATOR STRATTON.
SENATOR TAYLOR,
ASSEMBLYMAN BLISS,
ASSEMBLYMAN KNOWLAND,
ASSEMBLYMAN MCDONALD.
Stratton and Knowland are voting for
General Barnes; Taylor favors Pater-
son; Mcdonald and Bliss favor Grant.
These five men are all regarded as haV-
ing the courage to fairly represent their
constituencies, and as they have now
voted dozen times and have not been
attracted" by the Establishments of
the Candelaria mineowner, confidence
in them has been greatly increased.
Some of them have been claimed by the
Burns men, but so far such claim has
been without foundation. The storm of
Indignation that has swept over the
district represented by Speaker Wright
would be repeated in any of the other
districts should the same cause be
given. The one redeeming feature in
the cases of Leavitt, McKeen and Kelley
is that they came out openly for Burns
on the first ballot and have stayed with
him since, not doing as Wright did,
giving a couple of votes to some other
candidate and then without any known
reason suddenly Topping to Burns.

} Howard Wright would have cast {
his vote TO elevate a man to the
} position of United States Senator
, whose only claim Is that he has
, been of some service as a party
boss, it is safe to say that by no
, possibility could he have been
elected TO the Assembly from that
; district. In that position 1t is his
} duty to pay a decent respect TO
? the sentiment of his constituents
in his representative capacity. The
action of Mr.. Wright is worse than
mistake of judgment or d blum
der; 1t is from any aspect in which
1t may be viewed, deplorable. dis
astrous alike TO the reputation and
? political future of Mr.. Wright,
and to the interests of the party
in this county.
The Republicans of the Fifty-first
Assembly district now refer to their
representative in the Assembly as
the wrong Mr.. Wright
From Speaker Wright's explana-
ton 1t would seem that he consult
} ed the sentiment of Yolo County
rather than that of Alameda Coun-
ty when he voted for Dan Burns.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-01-14

The result of to-day's balloting on
United States Senator is very crafty
ing to the people of this county The
inability of Colonel Burns to muster
more than twenty-six votes after
dozen ballots is taken as positive proof
that that is the extreme limit of his
strength, and that he has marched to
the scratch every man who can posi-
bly, be brought under his wiles 1t is
deeply regretted that Alameda County
should have furnished four votes u the
man from Mexico, and that the last one
that he should be able to attract should
be the representative of Berkeley and
East Oakland. Mr.. Wright this even
ing enjoys the distinction of being the
last sheep to be driven into the Burns
corral
The Berkeley World Gazette of this
evening harbors a slight hope that Mr.
Wright will yet allow the many appeals
to his manhood to prevail. 1t says:

The Civil Service Order.

Those who expected that the Presi-
dents order modifying the opera
tion OF the civil service rules would be
OF a sweeping character. and who fear
ed that a "spoils system" was to be. in
augurated. are doubtless surprised that
their estimate was not well based. The
order affects about 1000 offices that
should never have been placed In the
classified service under the rules. They
are offices that cannot be easily filled
under civil service rules, and In some In
stances the public service is embarrass-
ed by the limitations imposed by the
law. In the war department rules are
prescribed by the Presidents order with
reference to certain branches Of the SER
vice at large. which place them on the
same basis as the navy yard service,
which Is so effective and above critl-
clsm.
In the case OF the internal revenue
service. where the rules are suspended
as to deputy collectors, a simple act of
Justice Is done. and much embarrass-
ment, due to the fact that collectors Of
internal revenue, who are under heavy
bond, have been forced to be responsible
for deputies who are not only of the
opposite political faith, but are often
not personally agreeable to the collec-
tor, will be averted. Particularly Is this
true of the chief deputies. Offices and
field deputies of United States mar
shals, for whose conduct the marshal is
directly responsible, are exempted, and
properly so. Just as are the exemptions
Of private secretaries. confidential clerks
and cashiers at tirst-class postofices.
This Is the practical extent Of the
Presidents order. Compared with the
total number of Office holders in the
United States the number affected is but
very small percentage OF those who
come under the classified service. The
fact that the President has had the mat
ter under consideration for year past
Is evidence that he has exercised great
care In selecting the Offices to which the
order applies.

the past, when the ilaring headlines in

And this was construed to mean that he
was sweeping over the country on
tidal wave of popular enthusiasm that
was going to land him In the white
house. He continued to draw the
crowds; nothing like 1t was ever wit

an continued to talk, also, and he talked
