THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 1898. L h ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS. ONE HUNDRED CANDIDATES FOR THIRTEEN JOBS A Few Problems to Be Solved at Alameda’s Approaching Convention. ‘Although Salaries After January Will Be -None Too Latge There Is an Increase of Those Willing to Be Sacrificed. - Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Aug. 28 Two years ago the office holders of Ala- | - meda County subscribed to a generous | purse to be used in preventing the pas- gage of an amendment to Government bill. This amendment was framed for the purpose of giving county officials an assured salary, as they had for years ben declaring that the amounts nllowed for each office were so small that they had left nothing for the head of the department. In view of the fact that before every election there are hundreds of candidites from which to choose just thirteen nominees, thi ement was re- garded as a little peculfar. Then some the County | generous legislator took up the grievance | of the office holders and framed a bill | by which the the should be paid fixed s: servants of people very liberal when compared with men of equal standing in other walks of life. It was thought t! office holders would gladly welcome any innovation that ‘would guarantee them 2 certain generous salary. But action only produced another surprise. The same gentlemen went to Sacramento, worked for weeks ong the legislators trying to prevent the passage of such and declaring that the s ed were aito- gether those most lected kinds _of their However, office hoids act was passed e home much e men laries he s 2. d that the s ew bill were ‘‘insuf- and unbecoming ° the e holder in Alameda umbling over each ic efforts to convince re the only logical in the county. are all ir fran if all Alameda County offi Sometimes log- ard of, at other d ‘their share of spendent - candi- ecure enough a r man in a place are numerous.

Some of these types are to be found every time an election comes around, but this year, owing to the war probably, and to. the géneral belief that anything pro- fessedly Republican will be given the lad hand, not a single class of office- funter is missing, and the amount of dis- appointment that will culminate on Sep- tember 19 at the County Convention 18 too appalling to even dream of. There are just thirteen candidates to be voted upon by the entire county, and I have before me over a hundred professed .candidates for these offices. On account of the amount of patronage the most ex- citing race is for the Shrievalty. Up to alaries of a nature | tween these two men will therefore be waged to a finish at the Berkeley prima- ries and will not come before the County Convention unless they succeed in about equally splitting the dele tion. “ounty Clerk Frank C. Jordan is pitted agalnst James A. Webster, a former County Treasurer, and J: J. Hannifin Jr. | | All three men are making active efforts for the nomination. Frank Jordan should certainly have the support of the friends ¢ both Metcalf and bardes, but in the Seventh Ward, where he resides, there is a strong Hilborn sentiment, which may give him trouble. This point is, of course, being made much of by his opponents, and although Frank should be able to se- cure a majority vote in convention, he can only do it by bringing in the Seventh Ward delegation. o The political conundrum of the hour is Assessor Harry P. Dalton. He has made it known far and wide thatshe is a candi- date to succeed himself, although he will not yet declare whether he will run as an independent candidate, as he did four years ago, or whether he will seek the Republican nomination. His only oppo- | nent so far is Robert 8.

" good records. and each is what can be frithfully called a strong man. The Sec- ond Ward has also put forward John A. Sands for thissoffic Two of the most interesting fights, dis- tinguished_partly by the small number of combatants, are for the nominations of Tax Callector and County Clerk. Tax Col- * Jector Barber, anxious to succeed himself, has for an opponent Tom M. Robinson. ‘Barber comes from Alameda; Robinson from the- Fifth Ward. The latter resigned from the County Committee in favor of a _ pronounced Pardee man, 0 that he could yun for office. Alameda wants to name a State Senator as well as one of the coun- ty officers, and Robinson can count on great support in his own ward, which L makes guessing between these two men & risky business. A. K. Grim of Berkeley is making a campaign against Recorder Charles Spear of the same city. Spear claims a majority of the Berkeley delegation, while Grim ‘also expresses such confldence as to cre- ate the impression that he has some strength of which he s assured, but which is not yet apparent. The fight be- McKillican; Sam Heller, | torney Snook having announced that he | ir years ago he should be | 1e next great struggle is for the honor | | i | { | his predecest ,and who will dispute with ank Jordan the carrying of the Seventh Ward. Should Mr. Dalton announce his ition it would greatly simplify mat- ters. With the Republican nomination his élection would be beyond a doubt.. But ghould he run as an independent and Robert Leckie receive the nomination, a strong fusion candidate would cause arm to the Republican party. The luckiest man seeking office is George Nusbaumer, the time-honored County Surveyor. Candidates come and go in the coun buildings, but George seems des- red to go on forever. Hardly anybody ever deems it worth while to oppose him, and this vear his only hardship will be having to deposit his ten dollars and make a spebch of acceptance of the ‘honor heaped on him” before the convention. The most laborious office in the gift of the county is that of County Auditor, and this explains why so few candidates want the job. It is an Incessant round of hard work, with little patronage, and if the incumbent doeg not petform a large share of the labor himself, there is no salary left for him. J. Cal Ewing, of the Fifth Ward and R. G. Graham of the First, are desirous of succeeding Myron Whidden. Both these men are hard workers politic- ally, professionally, and officially, and it is well that they are. Several parts of the county are desirous of naming the next ~Superintendent of Schools. Oakland puts forward: P. sl her; Berkeley has named 8. D. Water- ¥ man; Washington Township wouid like to | nominate H. W. Lynch, and as the pres- ent Superintendent is a Populist, and not seeking re-election so far as known, the three-cornered fight wfll undoubtedly be | settled by combinations effected on ' the Sabbath that will intervene between the primaries and the conventfon. Every township wants 'to secure the honor of naming the Public Administra- tor. W. H. Knight iIs not anxious to »me- linquish the off and is prepared to con- test all ers, prominent among whom is e »mblyman Clark of Niles. el of Oakland and Arthur Feidler of Livermore are understood to be the Republican contestants, so far, to succeed County Treasurer Sanford. As this office, like the Sheriff’s and Superin- tendent of Schools, is now held by Popu- s, it is expected that the fall campalgn will change the political compigxion of the incumbents. Coroner Baldwin, who has startled the county by stating that under no condi- tions ‘would he accept another term, will leave a vacancy to be fought over. Mr. Mehrmann hop tion, but he will have to vanquish sev- eral others, prominent among whom are James Taylor, Bessie Wood and W. N. Leitch. With the convention three weeks ahead it is necessary to so arrange matters that all the offices will not be distributed around the bay. The Democrats have al- ways claimed much strength in the inte- | rior of the county and this has been largely due to the ignoring of this terri- | tory by Republican conventions. If the townships are to assist in rolling up a | Republican majority this fall, they must eive substantial ~consideration at the hands of the county convention. And then there are the district fights. STUART W. BOOTH. TO BE LAW INSTRUCTOR. Shefield Sanl;u'r;xrjprpointed Judge Slack’s Assistant at Hast- ings College. OAKLAND, Aug. 23.—Sheffleld Sanborn of 672 Thirteenth street Lias been appoint- ed to assist Judge Slack as instructor at Hastings Law College. The appointment yesterday, and Mr. Sanborn will begin his duties on September 1 Recently Judge Slack had tendered his resignation as Instructor at the Law School, In anticipation of becoming a member in the law firm of Paterson & Rogers. The trustees, however, prevailed upon him to withdraw his resignation. This he did with the proviso that he be glven an assistant, an accordingly accommodated him. Sheffleld Sanborn's appointment is line with Judge Slack’s idea of having a Harvard man to assist him. Sanborn is a graduate of Harvard, '67 class, and of the University of California, '94. He is well and popularly known here in soclety and athletic circles—in the' latter as a champion tennis player. His father, the late 8. S. Sanborn, who died twenty years ago, was also a professor In the State University and was a prominent lawyer. The younger Mr. Sanborn was a practi- | tioner in San Francisco. AWAKENED BY FIRE. Antone Nito and fili Family Have a Narrow Escape From a Fiery Tomb. OAKLAND, Aug. 28.—Antone Nito, a barber, residing in the rear of his shop, at | 10 Seventh street, and his family, con- | children, | sisting of wife and five little had a very narrow escape from being burned to death mt 10:30 this evening. Most of them had retired for the night. By accident a coal ofl lamp riear a cra- dle was overturned and ignited the bed clothes. In an instant the room was a mass of flames. Mr. and Mra. Nito were almost overcome by the heat and smoke, but managed to save their children by | shoving them through the windows, and then following them. The house was com- pletely gutted. The neighborhood is closely settled, and had there been a breeze to-night great damage would have resulted. g CAPITAL PRIZE®. The Original’Little Beneficencia Publica Company, of San Francisco.

AN ISSUE AT THE PRIMARY CLERK JORDAN WILL WRITE A COMPLETE STATEMENT. Much Interest Shown in the Method by Which Delegates to the Convention Shall Be ° Chosen. Oakland Office, San Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, Aug. 2. County Clerk Frank Jordan is preparing another statement setting forth his views of the alleged issuance of blank certif- cates of registration for the Hilborn-Met- calf primary. This question is one that will not down. Every few hours it arises and is the subject of discussion, and it will no doubt have a marked effect one way or the other on the county primaries which are to be held September 17th. Scores of these certificates are being dug up. Most of them contain signatures and the seal of the County Clerk’s office, but are declared to be forgeries. The par- ticular one bearing the signature of Dep- uty Clerk James B. Dean is being dis- puted. Mr. Dean declares it to be a for- gery; others believe it was signed by Mr. Dean. #One blank card containing the sig- | nature of a deputy was taken to Mr. Jor- | dan’s office yesterday, and it is said tnat | signature. But so far no reward has been paid. Several certificates, some bearing the seal and some not, but all signed by dep- uty county clerks, are in the possessfon of Frank A. Leach, and he says that there are hundreds of them in existence. Just what use may be made of them 1s not known, but the Hilborn men are very | dissatisfied, and are making all kinds of | threats. It so happens that the great Hilborn stronghold is the abode of Frank | will have the hardest kind of a fight to | carry the county primaries in his favor. | It is conceded that Frank Jordan de- | serves and will probably get ail of the | support that can be controlled by Victor | Metcalf’s friends and the followers of r. | Pardee, because whatever he did if he did anything, and whatever ne risked, if he | risked anything, was done in the ihterest | of these factions. Frank Jordan declares that his next | statement, which will be issued in a few days, will' completely exonerate him, but | exonération in politics is a debatable’cap- | ital, and does not always succeed in turn- | ing’'the tide of voters at a primary. | Next Saturday the County Republican | Central Committee will meet to determine | the method in which the primaries shall | be called. The State and Congressional | primaries were called by Assembly dis- tricts, but there is a general desire to call the county primaries by wards and | townships, Should the Assembly method prevail it will upset nearly all the combi- nations now being made, and which are confined to wards or townships. There is still a little doubt as to which of the two methods is tavored by the county commit- tee, but it is generally believed that the ;vflrrl and township plans will find most AVOT. AN ORPHAN DROWNED IN A RESERVOIR WAS ON A PICNIC AT WALTEB‘ MOROSCO’S RANCH. David Sampson, an Inmate of the West Oakland Home, Loses His Life While Swimming. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, Aug. 25. The picnic of the children of the West | Oakland Home at Walter Morosco's Ger- anium place, last Saturday, was marred by death. When Miss Lide Gilmore, the matron of the home, gathered the children for | the return trip in the afternoon, David Sampson, a fifteen-year-old lad, was missing. He had usually been favored | with greater freedom than the others on account of his age, good behavior and sense, so that no great attention was | given to his absence. It was thought that he had gone to the home, but he was not there when the party returned. Mr. Moroseo sent out searching parties through the night, but found no trace of the boy. This morning the search was continued, when Sampson’s_clothes were found in the brush near the reservoir on Thomas McGee's place, not far from Fruitvale. The boy, it developed, had gone in swhm- ming in the reservolr and was drowned. | Late this afternoon the body was found. | The reservoir is a bowl-shaped affair and the boy, who was not a swimmer, slipped into deep water. Coroner Baldwin was notified imme- iately and took charge of the remains, The inquest will be held to-morrow even- | Oakiand Home, is frantic over the boy’s | death, for she was very much attached | to him. The dead boy was a singer in | the St. John’s choir. = He was particular- | 1y bright, intelligent and wel behaved. | ¥ He is a_half orphan, his father residing | in San Francisco. But during the past eight years that David has been at the | his care and suport.

Valentine. ALAMEDA, Aug. 28.—The funeral of Willlam 7T. Valentine took place at the Masonic Temple this afternoon and was jargely attended. The Exempt Firemen turned out in a body, as did the Masons, while a host of the friends of the de- ceased, including many school children who had been endeared to him by his kindly manner, also attended. The ser- vices at the Temple were very brief, con- sisting of the usual Masonic ritual, ac- companied by the singing of two hymns by a male quartet. The remains were es- corted to Mountain View Cemetery by the Firemen and Masons, where the remain- der of the Masonic ritual was performed and the last honors paid to the deceased. A Stray Balloon. ALAMEDA, Aug. 28.—About daybreak yesterday morning two newspaper car- Tiers who were going about their duty saw a large balloon pass rapidly over this city, going in a northwest direction. There was quite a J:ueze at the time and the balloon moved quickly. It was of a larger size than those usually used by trapeze erformers and had a basket attached to t. No signs of life were visible in the basket, however, and the balloon was at too great a height to be able to determine whether there were an% occ! ts, It wpeuod to be about feet In the air. od a't;ny ltln‘lkumln1 dhaveu been }'llu.rd of, an ere is considerable wonder as to the origin of this one, !
