CITY BOSSES.

HE intention OF the new primary law was to end
the rule OF bosses by getting together untram-
meled municipal conventions. The history of the
recent Democratic convention shows that this inten-
ton was in some way defeated. The convention was
neither free agent nor an Independent body 1t was
bossed and dragooned completely as any that ever
met in this city in the days of openly avowed
boss rule.
SO completely it under the thumb OF two
men, Mr.. Phelan and McNab that The Call was able
to publish its ticket before it met and did publish it.
through the simple process OF finding out who were
on the slate OF the two men who did the bossing
The convention itself might as well have met and
adjourned sine die and let Mr. Phelan and Mr.. Nc
Nab announce the ticket 1t may be said that they
BOSSES untried and that the result of their
bossing may justify it But the point is that if they
can secure power by such processes in their party
tiat will be proof that any other two men may do
the same, and by putting the government in their
hands the way is opened for any other two to do the
same, regardless OF how they will use power when
they get it.
1t is the first step that costs and if this city is to
ratfy and accept the methods of these it bends its
neck for the yoke OF others using the same methods
no matter how heavy it may be- The methods which
shut out all advice prevented all freedom banisbed
all deberation from the Democratic convention and
treated with contempt the friends and supporters Of
men as worthy any who were nominated bv
Messrs Phelan and McNab, are not methods to be
encouraged by the voters of city like San Fran
cisco Just such methods have proven ultimately to
be the means of bad government wherever they have
been adopted
1t is noteworthy that the henchmen, the drill
masters and ileclosers chosen to swing the rawhdc
and carry out the orders of the two bosses were the
trained and seasoned thralls Of the several dv
nastes OF Democratic bosses who have long
ruled the politics and manipulated the schemes
OF that party in this city They knew how
TO carry Out orders how to suppress free expression
how to walk rough shod over the right ambitions Of
the worthy and they did it all with the rough skill

Among the scientific possibilities of the

telegraphy to the needs of coast defense
and as a means of preventing collisions at
