COLUSA, Aug. 8.—Editor Call: In response to your telegram will say that in this immediate vicinity the choice of the various Republican candidates for Governor appears to be about equally divided between L. H. Brown | and W. R. Davis with L. R. Ellert as a close competitor, the last named gen- tleman being our individual choice. Pardee has few friends or supporters in this vicinity. E JOHN L.

Prior to .his_election as clerk of the Supreme - Court he resided in this section gnd is _known to many of our people, an® in .fact, is looked upon as a Sol#oite. For a second choice any of the gentle- . men named in your dispatch I am sure would be equally acceptable to the Re- publicans here.

J. A. APPERSON, Editor Review (Rep.). FROM SONOMA COUNTY. HEALDSBURG, Aug. 8.—Editor Call: The undoubted choice of this locality for Governor is W. R. Da He was raised in Sonoma County and the rec- ord of his later ars of life passed in | Alameda County is such that without question the Republicans of Sonoma | County and her voters generally irre- | spective of party would rally to his support if he is chosen as the standard- bearer of the party. As to C choice there is a wide difference and no definite ideas have been formed. L. H. Brown or L. R. Ellert would probably be second choice. F. W. COOK, Editor Tribune (Rep.). PARDEE AND BROWN.

I believe I voice the sentiment of Sierra County Republicans by saying that we vor the nomination of a man for Gov- nor who pos a clear record, vho has marked ability and Is con- servatice and whose otion to Re- publican _principles never been questioned. F. ESCHBACHER, Mountain Messenger (Rep.). TEHAMA FAVORS ELLERT. RED BLUFF, Aug. 8.—Editor Call: | Opinion here has not concentrated upon v one of the candidates for Gover- nor who has yet been proposed.

SAN DIEGO WANTS THE SENATOR SAN DIEGO, Aug. 8.—Editor Call: Henry T. Gage at present seems to be the choice of the Republicans here for Governor, with George A. Knight a strong second. Knight in my opinion is the strongest Republican in the State for Governor. The Republicans of San Diego are unanimously in favor of U. 8. Grant for United States Sena- tor and W. R. Guy fer Attorney Gene- The Grant element is in favor of ral. giving the nomination for Governor to the north. D. O. McCARTHY, Editor San Diego Vidette (Ind.). ADMIRE BROWN’S RECORD. YUBA CITY, Aug. 8—Editor Call: General sentiment here is in favor of L. H. Brown for Governor on account of his good record in public office, his unexcelled capabilities fcr that posi- tion and being clear of combinations, cliques and bosses. Think him by far the strongest candidate mentioned both in this county and State as direct people’s choice. Second choice rather hard to estimate, but probably would be W. R. Davi L. WOODWORTH, Editor Sutter County Farmer (Rep.). A VIRGIN FIELD. YREKA, Aug. 8.—Editor Call: The sentiment in this county favors no particular man, as none of the candi- dates mentioned are from this dis- trict and no campaign has been made in this county by the prospective can- didates. ROBERT NIXON, Editor Yreka Journal (Rep.). SENTIMENT IN LOS GATOS. LOS GATOS, Aug. 8.—Editor Call: Mot much talk here about Governor yet. Ellert, Brown and Pardee are the jeaders here. Some talk of Knight, and he would develop strength. Par- dee has some strong opposition, but is third at least in this town. It is diffi cult to say whether Ellert or Brown would be first.—News (Ind.). EITHER BROWN OR ELLEET. BENICIA, Aug. 8.—Editor Call: Your question is hard to answer.

On account of his experience as Secretary of State he is particularly fitted for the performance of the duties sition, and he is re- | ders as & clean man. garded by party le; | He will doubtless run well throughout the State and will make the strongest man against Maguire, provided the lat- ter is nominated by the Democrats, whom the Republicans can put in the fleld.

SAUSALITO, Aug. 8.—Editor C: Marin County strongly favors the c didacy of General John H. Dicki for Governor. 1In the first place, his services to this section as a legisiator have been numerous and iniportant and have earned a grateful remembrance. | In the second place, apart from all loesl considerations, we consider him head and shoulders superior to the other competitors on the Republican side of the house. In experience, caoacity, thorough knowledge of government and of the needs of the State, he is equipped | as no one else is who has been men- tioned in connection with the high of: fice. Besides, the people of Marin thi it about time that Northern Califcrnia, and especially the section around the | bay of San Francisco, was being con- It is twenty yead nce we Los Angeles furnished three Governors in succession — Stoneman, Waterman and Markham. Budd is closer to the south than he is to the north. Noth- ing but plenty of nerve could incuce the statesmen below Tehachapi to ask for another turn at the wheel. ern California wants a chance this time and Dickinson is the man of Marin County’s choice. No candidate other than the general is mentioned here. In fact, it is Dickinson first, last and all the time. . H. PRYOR, Editor Sausalito News (R.) A DARK HORSE MAY WIN. NAPA, Aug. 8.—Editor Call: Senti- ment here is not sufficiently settled for me to judge which of the candidates for Governor is strongest. It is the thought of many that a dark horse, one not now in the running, will cap- ture the nomination. My own opinion is that W. R. Davis is the strongest man at present in the field. G. M. FRANC Register (Rep.) WANT THE‘ETRONGEST MAN. AUBURN, Aug. 8.—Editor Call: If Alameda united Brown and Davis would have a strong personal follow- ing, with probably a majority for the latter. Knight has many friends, and Ellert is considered strong in . San Francisco. A very general expression in favor of the strongest man without regard to personal preferences. H. H. RICHMOND, Editor Republican Argus (Rep.). GAGE THEIR ONLY HOPE. SANTA PAULA, Aug. 8.—Editor Call: Locally Henry T. Gage is strong- est. I think he would run bestthrough- out the State. No second choice is being considered. WILLIAM H. RAMSEY, Editor Chronicle (Ind.). FRIENDLY TO ELLERT. OAXKDALE, Aug. 8.—Editor Call: So far as I hgve been able to ascertain Republican® sentiment in Oakdale seems to favor the nomination of L. R. Ellert for the Governorship, with L. H. Brown a close second. Many expregs no choice, but favor any good man. E. L. SHIPMAN, Public Leader (Ind.) DR. PARD?E—PERHAPS.

HALF-MOON BAY, Aug. 8.—Editer Call: In our modest opinion that true and tried southern sportsman, states- man and gentleman, Hon. Henry T. Gage, is the man to carry the day. Car- rying no collar, no sack, no promise of spoil and is not dominated’ by the bosses, he will get the enthusiastic support of our paper and the coast- side voters in the event uf his receiv- ing the nomination. As a candidate from the north naturally our votes here unanimously center on our fellow- citizen, Hon. Charles N. Felton. GEORGE T. SHAEFFER, Editor Coast Advocate (Ind.). HAVE NO SECTIONAL FEELING.

It is the Union’s belief that throughout the State Mr. Felton would be the most acceptable candidate that As to second choice it can be said that San Diego | Republicans will support any good man whom the party’'s convention may name. Interest here is more in the Senatorship than in gubernatorial can- didates, it being the earnest wish that the Senatorship shall come to the south and that U. S. Grant shall obtain it, the Governor going to the north.—San Diego Union (Rep. HAVE NO SELECTION. MARTINEZ, Aug. 8.—Editor Call: Republicans in this county are at sea as to any special choice for Governor of the prominent candidates enumerated. Many Republicans interviewed and not one seemed to have determined upon a choice or even to possess an opinion as to who would be the best and strongest candidate. The Republicans of this county wants James M. Stow for the State Board of Equalization and this fact overshadows all other considera- tions and will dominate and influence the delegation in the State convention. No preference exists for Governor and the cnly sentiment crystallized is for Stow. ) C. F. M NTC:OMERY (R.). FROM SA SANTA MONICA, Aug.

Davis as the nomi- nee for Governor. For second choice the names of L. R. Ellert and Thomas Flint Jr. are most frequently men- ticned. Davis' record, his acknowledg- ed ability and freedom from past politi- cal entanglements should make him the strongest candidate in the interior. Considerable disappointment is mani- fested in this section that Irving M. Scott is not considered a prominent candidate. HAYDEN, Lassen Advocate (Ind.). ELLERT FOR F"IRST CHOICE. LAKEPORT, Aug. 8.—Editor Call: THe State politics is not bothering our people very much. There appears to be no pronounced choice. A canvass of our leading citizens led to the fol- lowing result: L. R. Bilert is consid- ered the best man against Maguire from all accounts of his popularity in San Francisco. L. H. Brown is sec- ond choice. Pardee and Knight both have a small following. FRED LOEWING, Lake County Bee (R.). IN FAVOR OF IRVING M. SCOTT. GALT, Aug. 8.—Editor Call: Opinion is woefully divided here on names men- tioned for Governor. Irving M. Scott is first choice of Republicans of Sacra- mento County for Governor and he would make the strongest candidate that could possibly be nominated at this time. H. T. Gage is an unknown quantity to Republicans in this part of the State and he is but little heard of, except through the press. Among the young men, Lou Brown and Thomas Flint Jr. are both very popular. J. H. Neff is coming to the front and devel« oping mueh strength. His friends say “With Neff for Governor and Flint for Lieutenant Governor a_ winning ticket could be put in the field.” J. J. CAMPBELL, Gazette (R.). BROWN’S RECORD COUNTS. QUINCY, Aug. 8.—Editor Call: L. H, Brown is the first choice of Republicans of Plumas for Governor. Ellert sec- ond. Brown’s good record as clerk of the Supreme Court and Secretary of State, toegther with the big vote he has polled heretofore make him a pro- nounced favorite here. Knight is pop- ular for Senator. Renublicans think Pardee and Davis should be considered out of the fight because of the contest in Alameda. F. G. HAIL, Bulletin (Ind.). MENDOCINO FAVORS BROWN. UKIAH, Aug. 8.—Editor Call: Sent- iment of Republicans in Mendocino County seems to be in favor of L. H. Brown for Governor. Pardee has many friends on the northern coast, while Flint has a sprinkling of follow- ers in various portions of the county. No other candidate has thus far been mentioned. It is certain that Brown would carry the county. LF. PENNINGTON, Republican Press (R.). BROWN'S GREAT POPULARITY. GRASS VALLEY, Aug. 8.—Editor Call: L. H. Brown is the best and most favorably known in Nevada County and the people would be much pleased to see that gentleman receive the nomi- nation. L. R. Ellert is considered a conservative man and his record as Mayor of San Francisco would give great confidence in him. He is un- doubtedly the second choice of Nevada County Republicans. THOMAS INGRAM, Editor Grass Valley Telegram (Ind.). ANOTHER FOR BROWN. SUISUN, Aug. 8.—Editor Call: Of list mentioned for Republican nomina- tion for Governor L. H. Brown is the strongest in this locality, with indica- tions of George C. Pardee being sec- ond choice. In my opinion none would make a stronger fight or receive a larger number of votes throughout the State than L. H. Brown. E. DINKELSPIEL, Solano Republican (Rep.).

Busy Government Employes Forget | That the Invalids Still Have Their Appetites. Another instance where the Red Cross Society stepped !nto the breach caused Dby the Government's slowness in caring for the urgent need of its defenders was observed yesterday. Ten weak and emaci- ated soldlers who had just been dis- charged from the hospital were granted a thirty-day furlough and brought down to the quartermaster’s department at 36 New Montgomery street, in charge of a hospital steward for the purpose of ar- ranging transportation to their homes in the East. Eight ot the boys were from Tennessee, while the other two were from equally distant States. From 9 o'clock in the morning until § o’clock in the after- noon they sat about a room walting for some official to hand them thelr trans- portation. Had their condition not been made known to the ladles of the Red Cross the men might have gone Bast without funds and without food. Besides furnishing the returning invalids with ten large hampers containing delicacfes and substantial food, each man was given $2 by the State soclety and sent on his way comforted. At the executive meeting of the State society yesterday $500 was voted as an emergency fund for the Seventh Regiment California Volunteers. The money will be turned over to the commander of the regi- ment if it is sent to Manila. Preparations fob the big State meetin; which is to be held at Golden Gate Hall next Thursday evenlns, are under way. Judge Sheldon will address the meeting, and music will be furnished by the Sev- enth Regiment band. Red Cross nurses will act as ushers. Three little girls—Miss Beatrice Dan- ziger, Miss Marian Levy and Miss Lu- cille Lippman, the eldest of whom is not over 7 years of age, gave an entertain- ment yesterday afternoon at the residence of Dr. Danziger, 1625 Geary street, for the benefit of the Red Cross. The pro- ceeds amounted to $3 75, and it was tri- umphantly turned over to the treasurer of the society. To-morrow night the entertainment that has been arranged by the Daughters and Sons of St. George in aid of the Red Cross Soclety will be given in Union Square Hall. The committee of ladies w?m have had the matter under consider- ation for some time have arranged an in- terestin pm&'mme and have secured the band of the First Regiment of Ten- ?ensea Vol\lnltaerl to furnish the music or the occasion. { has joined gation to the State convention will have Flint for first choice.

Auditor Broderick yesterday forwarded to the Secretary and Controller of State a certified copy of the footings of the as- sessment rolls for the fiscal year 1898-99.

Recent reports from St. Michael show that that port is crowdeéd with Yukon goldseekers who are stranded there. Some invested their last ecent in purchasing transportation from companies which have failed to carry out their contract to land their passengers at Dawson.
