boiling Of the Bourbon pot, spring
training for the state primary cam
psign in the central and northern por-
lions Of the state is undergoing a
temporary lapse Of activity.
While the outcome of the southern
conference may have little or no effect
upon the existing republican situation.
the gathering Of the democrats is still
claiming the attention of the several

seekers after subordinate positions.

Coincident with Johnson's descent

Sterling Campbell of Eureka. who is
TO take charge OF the Anderson cam
paign, is expected in San Francisco to-

claim that Gillett's personal and organ

TO Anderson.
