The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-02-08

-
the defiant attitude Of the Grant man
ayers. 1t was bold move on the part
of Perkins, Pardee and Grant to go into
the heart of Alameda County and in
vite respectable citizens of high stand
ing to send kilograms to this city re-
questing Senators Stratton and Taylor
and Assemblyman Knowland to vote
for man who had been censured by
the committee of investigation for cor
ruptly using money to secure the Sena-
torShip.
Many of the kilograms have been ex-
hibited here. In order that the people
of that county may know the citizens
who have been persuaded or beguiled
into sending messages, The Call has
obtained, the following names of send
ers;

The Call tonight secures information
that Colonel Burns will not prolong the
contest to the end of defeating the cleo
ton of a Republican Senator provided
Grant goes out of the race. He indi-
Gated, however, that he would defeat
election rather than consent to the sue
cess of Grant. The inference that Burns
has not parted with his political sense
leads many to believe that there will
be a readjustment of forces and a gem
eraI rally around some candidate who
can defeat the San Diego statesman
No one can tell when the break will
come or around whom the scattered
! forces will rally. Irving M. Scott re-
J appeared on the scene tonight. 1t is
/ believed that the relations between D.
NJ. Burns and L. R. Ellert. the political
manager of Mr.. Scott. are so badly
strained that great difficulty would be
/ encountered in bringing about an
! agreement to unite on Scott When
/ the break comes from Grant, as it
| must, if Burns retires, Scott may gain
! achievements. Inquiry tonight leads
/ to the conclusion that the forces ofGen-
! eral Barnes will not be weakened by
| the onslaught of kilograms from Ala
/ media County. In the Bulla camp there
! is the utmost confidence that Senator
| oil RI he !
wire. Barnes and Bulla each expect to
| make substantial gains when the sup
! porters of Burns and Grant begin to
| scatter. 1t is believed tonight that
| Burns will be the first to move and
! thus gain an advantage over Grant in
| Joining forces with the successful man.
| There is a deep-Seated conviction that
| Perkins is responsible for the Grant
outburst in Alameda County In more
| than one Senatorial camp there is a
! long knife out for Perkins Burns has
no love for him. General Barnes is NOT
! likely to forget the attempt to break
| his column of eleven supporters and
Bulia is bestowing no benedictions on
the head of the Senator.
Assemblyman Cloughs resolution in
troduced in the session of the Joint as
sembly to-day created some surprise
and merriment. The representative
from Plumas County proposed that
candidates for the United States Sen
ate should be invited to address the
convention and provided that no speech
/ should exceed one hour in the length
Of its delivery. Senator Flint, Presi-
dent pro tenn. of the Senate, ruled the
resolution out of order, but it is the
Judgment of men familiar with parIia-
mentary proceedings that the ruling
was incorrect. 1t is not unusual for
candidates for the United States Senate
to address the Legislature when con-
test for election is pending. In sew
eral Of the Eastern States the custom
is honored in the observance.
1t is not unusual in California for
candidates for the Office of Governor
to address delegates Of a convention
before the balioting begins. At the cele-
brated Union Hall convention in San
Francisco which nominated William Ir
win for Governor he addressed the dele
gates, and his rivals, G. T Ryland.
Thomas Findlay and Philip Roach. also
appeared on the platform and expressed
their sentiments. AT the convention in
San Jose, over which John Boggs pre-
sided and which nominated General
Stoneman for Governor, the delegates
were addressed by George Hearst and
Governor SLOVENIAN. The speeches were
made Immediately after the candidates
were placed in nomination and before
the balloting began.
1t is said here tonight that the Joint
assembly of the California Legislature
might be enlightened by addresses de-
livered by U. S. Grant Jr., Daniel M.
Burns, Irving M. Scott, r. N. Bulla.
General W. H. L. Barnes and Thomas
r. Bard. The last-named candidate is
not here, but if desired he could come
and meet his fellcw-citizens in Sacra-
mento. The story going the rounds to-
night to the effect that General Barnes
prompted the resolution is without
foundation in fact. The general made
his speeches during the political cam
paign which terminated in the triumph
ant election of Henry 7. Gage for Gov
ernor
The general then had all the oppor-
tunity any man could reasonably desire
to address his fellow citizens. Every
member Of the Legislature is familiar
