WHERE POLITIGS BECOMES FUNNY Affairs Have Now Reached the Critical Stage in Alameda. Will the Balance of the State Wait Until Aft ¢ the Primaries Mr. Hilborn Declares That He Will Not Ally With Any Other Candidate. OARLAND OFFICcE 8AN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Brosdway, Nov. b. } @Politics has now reached that acute stage which necessitates the personal at- tention of men prominent in the public eye. Con-equently it is very common at present to read little notices in the Oak- land papers that certain politicians have gone to the country for a few days for the benefit of their health or that business keeps them from their offices all day in San I'rancisco. These litile ruses would pass without comment but for the coun- try reporter who invariabiy learns when a “bigz injun” from the city is looking over his preserves and duly chronicles the eventin the local paper. Owing to :he large scope of territory which some of Alameda’s candidates are searching over for support these iittle notices of people who wish it to be known that they are under the weather give the people on the street many cues as to the method being pursued by the leading candidates for Republican honors. This has been particularly noticeable during the past two duys, orsince the time when W. R. Davis issued his first campaign document. The gantlet thrown down was speedily picked up, and the | Pardee men are now werking literally ‘out ot sight.”” All kinds of hints of what may huppen are beinsz thrown out in exther camp, but it is not easy to see what itall means, for neitber man has the re- motest intention of withdrawing. “Iamin this fight to stay till we meet | in convention at Sacramento. This affair 1s not confined to Alameda County, itis a State matter, and is broader than the usual run of Alumeda Couniy politics. It is not a question of persons but of party principle. No individual deserves poiitical reward, but itical parties and organi- zations do. I am in this fight not for Davis, but because I believe the Repub- lican partv of tnis State owes a debt to Alameda County, and [ propose to stay wiih this fight untl a nomination for Governor 1s mace in the State Republican Convention,” savs W. R. Davis, “I entered this fight in good faith, because I believa tho good Republicans of Alameda County, realizing their value to the party in the past, are entitled to the honor of naming ihe next Republican Governor. I belicve that the strongest man the county can put up should be chosen, and at present 1 and my friends are engaged in the task of trying to find out who s the sironger man. 1 presume it wiil be decided at the primaries,” says Dr. Pardee. Cengressman Hiltorn says he is not paying much attention to Alameda’s s tempt to obtain the gubernatorial nomi- | naon. **I am snxious to succeed m seif,” said Mr. Hiiborn, “and naturally I shall not neglectany opportunity to ma | tain my position. I certainly sha.l make any combination with either of the oiber candidat s, for I am in a Congre sional fieht and no other.” It is realized tbat Victor Metcalf is going to prove a stronger opponent to Mr. Hilbern than Judge Frick proved 1o be last November, and tuis feeling is some- | what d.sturbing a plan which was un- doubtesly projecied to unite the fortunes of Mr. Davis a Mr. Hilborn. There 1s even now a possibility that the Davis men may try to draw Metcalf into tneir camp, in wuich event Hilborn would almost be iorced :uto an alliance with Paraee. Reports from the rest of the Staie show daily that Alameda’s chance of naming the Governor 1s graduaily weakening, be- cause she cannot agree upon one man, A month ago Alameda bad 50 per cent more ehance to name the Governor than sne has now, and one of the best-informed politicians in this county who is in touch wiih Stale politics says that unless an un- ders:anding be reached before the new year Alameda’s chance will have vanished altogeiber. Even now overtures are being made vy which thix couniy shall receive recognition on the Btate ticket inde- pendent of that of Governor in return for support for another gubernatorial can- didate. WARD'S BODY FOUND. He and Kritchuer Both Met Death in the Bay. OAKLAND, Nov. 5 — The body of George Ward s found on the San Fran- cisco side of the bay this evening, and it is thus proved t.at the story of his taking a fatzl sail in a small boat iz true. On Tnesday of last week Ward and Al Kritchner, third mate of the :chooner Eppinger, went for a sail on tue bay. Neither was heard of again, but two days later the upturned boat was found near South San Francisco and it was supposed that both boys were drowned. Last evening Kitchner's body was found at the narro ge pier, and 50 the man- ner in which taey came, so far as the cumstance: leading up to the drownin are concerned, will never be known. The le ter written to the Coronera few days ago, stating that Ward was alive and well, was a cruel hoax, as his mother placed a tittle faitn in it. Ward was a weli-known young fellew and was a clerk at the Owl drugsiore, e ALL FOR HIS WIiDOW. Benjamin Conger Mukes a Short Will, Giving His Estate to His Relict.

BERKELEY, Nov. 5.—Since the break- ing out of scarlet fever av the State Insti- tution for the Deaf and Dumb and Blind, a number of parenis have applied for per- mission to take their children home until the epidemic disappears. It is expected that nearly half a hunared of the inmates will leave the institution temporarily. There is some d:ff rence of opinion among the physicians as 10 whether the Cisense isrcally scirietfever. They agree, however, that it is an eruptive disease and contagicus. No new cases were re- poried to-day and the nine patients were all getting along nicelv, so the authori- ties believe the spreaa of the epidemic has been checked permanently. . keley News Notes.

When Internal Revenue Collector Lynch assumcd the duties of his office he ven- tured to protest against being liable on his bonds for the official acts, including mis- takes and defalcations, of his subordinates appointed under the civil service rules whnen he had no voice in their appoint- ment. He showed that should one of his deputies, through spite or ignorance, make an uniawiul seizure, he, the Collector, would be held liable through bis bonds- | men for the wrong done to the owner of the seized property. Not one of the depu- ties in his office is required to rive bonds to the Government for the faithful per- formance of his duties, but the Collector must give his personal bonds for all. The injustice of this regulation was so apparent tnat United Siates Senator George O. Perkins interested himself in the matter and laid the facts before the Treasury Department, but nothing defi- nite was done and the matter remains in abeyance. Mr. Lynch expects that the r#les will be so modified that he will be allowed to appoint ali his division depu- ties, every one of whom is entrusted with the hanaling of money and stamps. There are only eight ot these oulside division deputies and Mr. Lynch asks that he be allowed to fill their places with men whom he knows, or, at least, have the choice of approving or not approving of the selections aiready made by some;one else. Last August an inquiry was addressed to the United States Civil Service Com- mission in Washington with reference to the matter and in aue course of time the following answer was received: Sir: In respouse to your comamunicatlon of Augusi 14 1 1uclose a circular show ng the ex- ceptious from examination in the internal revenue service.

The commission hus, however, referred your Jetter 10 the Secreiary of the Tressury for response. Very respectiuily, WILLIAM G. RICE, Acting President.
