allow it to stand for the election.
There isn't much harmony i'll that
proposition, but it seems to be the
only course left open for them. TIE
Union Republicans recently held
their convention and nominated Il
full ticket without even consulting
the Regulars, and this was done,
notwith5 anding that the Reg lIar
vote is necessary to elect the county
ticket. For years these men have
endorsed the Union candidates for
the county offices and 10y their votes
have elected them. This was done
without ANY agreement and without
consideration. Then the Union
Republicans have turlel around
and sland2red the Regulars and
tried to injnre their business, etc.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6. The
French bark Max, which collided with
the steamship Walla Walla early on
Thursday morning, has been towed to
this city in badly disabled condition
by the steamer Acme and the United
States revenue cutter McCulloch. The
MaX's bowsprit was carried away, and
her bow was stove in both above and
below the water line. Her water tight
commandments alone were keeping her
afloat.
Nnety-two survivors of the Waila
Walla arrived here yesterday from Eu-
reka on the steamer Pomona. There is
still some discrepancy in the list Of
dead and missing This discrepancy is
due to the fact that several passengers
bearded the vessel just as she was
leaving port. Others who We're travel
ing second class gave assumed names
in order to hide their identity. By
striking out what are possible dupii'
Gates the number of lost stands at for
ty-two, classed as follows: known

90.
One life raft is unaccounted for, and
it is feared that all the missing are lost
