BURNS SURROUNDED
BY AN ODOROUS GANG
A Motley Crew Of TenderlOin
Politicians Working for the
Man of UnSavOry Record.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 4.-The men who are out to
elect Dan Burns Senator. no matter what
the moral penalty or financial cost, are
here in II their unique and pauseating
variety. They adorn every chair and pill
lar of the Golden Eagle office and adja-
cent bar rooms, and every train is bring
ing others.
If 1T may be judged from the motley,
odorous gang that has foregathered here
during this past week the dives and dead
falls of San Francisco, where cheap poll
ticians wax lean through the months on
occasional political pickings, are deserted
by their habitueS. The metropolis has
debouched the greater part of it's un-
healthiest element, pass and good Herrin
dollar laden, on hitherbound trains, and
the result is a fair example of what the
result would be should the daily dimin-
ishing chances of FL Alcalde be success
full
1t is not fair to say, though, that all
of the Burns adherents here are of the
lower order. There are those here who
are in the fight purely as matter of con-
science for the liquidation of past politi-
cal debts, though just what political debt
is due Mr.. Burns from James Alva Watt
remains yet TO transpire. 1t may be that
the obligation is purely anticipatory, but
the fact remains that James Alva is here
and in the fight to the finish. Mr.. Watt
is one of Mr.. Burns workers. 1t was
Mr.. Watt who was accused of having re-
ceived $4,000 from Moses Sherman. the
arch manipulation who wrecked the Peo-
pies Bank, TO be used in influencing
Judge Hebbard in appointing a receiver
for the bank who would be satisfactory to
the crooked plans of the clique that had
banded together to rob it. That story.
however, has been. since upset by Mr..
Watts simple denial
Coworking with him are Mr. Kelly
Martin Kely-and Major Mclaughlin.
The greasy Kelly figure is one too famil-
lar in politics and the Burns ranks to de-
mand explanation in the present instance
but in view of the fact that only two
weeks ago Major Mclaughlin is said to
have remarked in a Santa Cruz bar room
that the candidacy of Dan Burns for the
United States Senate was enough to make
a decent Republican throw up his hands
and anything else he might have about
his person leads to the logical conclu-
sion that the chairman of the State Cen
trail Committee has thrown up his self

knotty problem and one that is beyond
solution as far as the average legis-
ldtor is concerned.
Burns says: L am a candidate"
Herrln says: Burns is our candi-
date"
Mclaughlin says: Burns is my can
didate."
Now the Legislators are anxiously
awaiting the arrival of at least one
San Francisco merchant, business man
or citizen of standing who is willing
TO make a similar declaration. care
full canvass of the men who are in Sac
ramento in the interest of the Burns
boom makes it reasonably certain that
the business interests of other COM
munities are not suffering because of
the absence from home of merchants
bankers and the solid men cf those
communities
While it is known that Burns has
lost strength since he announced his
candidacy, it is also apparent that the
opposite state of affairs is the case
with at least three of the other Sena-
tOrial candidates Bulla. Barnes and
of strength. George A. Knight is not
making an aggressive fight for Sena-
torial hOnOrs, though he will make a
fair showing when the first ballot is
counted next Tuesday. The Grant
boomers are, as usual claiming every
thing in sight, and if their professions
are TO be believed they have the fight
already won. Their activity in roofing
for more votes is sufficient evidence of
the unreliability of their claims. Among
those who are here helping to spend
Grants money is a man who was a
member of the last Assembly. At that
time he lived in a lodging house and
took his meals at cheap restaurants in
spite of the fact that he was drawing
IS a day from the State and his wife
was in receipt of a like amount for her
services as a committee clerk This
same man is to-day living in an ex-
pensive suite of rooms at the Golden
Eagle Hotel and is making a great
show of prosperity. Comment is un-
necessary.
So far as outward appearances go.
Grant seems to be the good thing of
the session and there is no apparent
scarcity of men who are ready and
willing to spenI his money for him.
The Grant men are boasting that
they have gained three votes to-day,
and that all of them are men who were
believed TO be favorable to Colonel
Burns. 1t was ascertained late tonight
that one Of the legislators who has
gone over to the Grant camp is Senator
E. l. Wolfe of San Francisco. Wolfe
has corroborated this Information.
Burns has all along claimed the entire

And then there is Leon Dennery.

porter of free roll faro banks

slot machines, is another of the cleaner
element here and he is not slow in the
expenditure of ample slices of the profits
that are accruing out of the prominent
industries he has fostered.
julius Waller is here. too. julius has
not cut any great slice in the political
bedquilt up to date. Ee's 2 nice little
gentleman, with a siX-by-six head and

is horde of others, but like some good
stories they are not fit for publication
But enough are mentioned to give a fair
idea of the Burns adherents; and an un-
saVory. odorous layout it is. Rake the
list with fine tooth comb and the only
teal politician who is in the fight for
pouIicS and its perquiSiteS, and for moth
ing else. 1t is a list picked out with no
discrimination. They are Burns sup
porters and as such they are the people
to whom he will owe the obliga tions of
his election, If elected he should be, and
il has never yet been said of Burns that
he shirked political debt. In the whole
unsavory lot there is not to be found a
solid citizen of any community.
Business men are conspicuous by their
absence. The clean politician isn't men

To switch away the dies,

It doesn't overwork US
When the elephants parade.

When the train goes rushing by,
It doesn't stand and shiver
When the little snow1akes fly.
