The battle for the Senatorship seems
to have neither advanced nor receded.
If there have been gains for one can1i-
date and losses for another, the fact
has not yet been made public. The

cheerful exterior and seem to be Strong
in the belief that their particular can
didate will win.

Speaker of a California Assembly has
been blessed with. He has done the
work of selecting them, assisted by
Speaker Pro Tenn Anderson, with great
care and much perseverance and earn
estness, not forgetting to consult the
wishes of both majority and minority
and carrying them out wherever pos

PERSONAL NOTES.
Assemblyman Radcliff Of Santa Cruz
was among the members who asked for
leave of absence yesterday morning.
This appeared on the face Of it much
like other leaves of absence, but it was
quite different, for the young Assembly
man from the Pajaro Valley. He took
the morning train for Grass Valley and
to-day at high non, will be married
to Miss Florence Huss of that city. Mr..
and Mrs. Radcliff will return to Sacra-
mento in time to dance at the inaug-
ural ball.
Mrs. Robert Robertson, now proprie-
tress Of the Placerville Nugget" was
on the floor of the House yesterday.
Robertson will be remembered as His
tory Clerk of the thirty session.
He owned and edited the Nugget"
but failing health sent him to Arizona,
where he made a. brave fight against
consumption, while his wife, as bravely
assumed his editorial duties at home.
Death came to Robertson at last. but
not before he had returned to be cared
for in his own home.
