THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1898. ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS. 0T A TIME 0 EXERCISE CANDIDATES WATCHING THE SILENT VOTE. Ticket Scratching at This Time Can- not Fail to Have a Pernicious Effect on the National Party. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Oct. 30. week will elapse be- Although but on fore the State clection, there will no @oub be many changes in ihe standings of some of the county candidates in that period. Politics ed in Alameda County-—badly The unanimity which prevailed locally at the time of the primary which elected George C. Pardee a candidate for thé nomination of Gov- ernor, has disappeared, and a few selfish office-hunters are inaugurating a return to factionalism which pernicious effect unless it be stifled- or killed off during the coming week. The Republican county ticket fairly represents the wishes of the party. All talk of favoritism, slates, foreign bosses and similar things are but the w disappointed and out-generaled dates. In politics, as in shrewdest and most perseve: the top, and this is true of tnose candi- dates nominated at San Leandro. It is but fair to presume that those Intelligent gentlemen who nominated the ticket knew wthat they we doing. It is not reasonable to presume thdat when they .

Pardee. If Mr. Church deserves the c dence of Dr. Pardee he can certainly be trusted by the Temainder of the party For reasons kept below the surface, but which are none the less apparent, an ef- fort is being made to throw the control in the Board of Supervisors to the Demo- crats, and regrettable as the fact may be, gome Republicans are aiding the move- ment. Such practices degrade party poli- tics and reduce them to the level of the ephemeral orga ions_that bob up in the morning and die with the darkness. Such practices do not build up Repub- lcanism. The fact seems to be lost sight cannot be of in this county that a stream urer than its source. The inspiration mparted last week by the Hon. We Davis to the vast multitudes that bled in the big tabernacle, would give larger Republican majority e who lis- uld be lead this county s than she has ever known if th tened to the great speaker wi by their convictions and not by their per- gonal prejudice or selfishness. The broad spirit of s addres was a refreshing contrast to the personal nts for votes with which the voters have been satiated for over a month. Mr. Davis did not once ask that vote the Republi t. He v told in lan as simple, of the great pri d ieft the rest to the i He advocate ot but have a | by natural inference, the election of every Republican candidate. He painted in plain words the duty of every citizen to surmort the administration, especially at | this time, when the eyes of the world are | turned toward this country and her for- | eign relations more than at any time in | American history. Without a suggestion of bombast and | without rendering himself liable to the charge of being verbose, Webster Davis | left on his vast audience this deduction | from his speech: *If the next Congress jon as to show to all nations that Amer- ica indorses and supports the acts of her President and her army and navy during | the past year, what view would the | European powers take of the Spanish- American peace commission now sitting | at Paris? Republicans Facing a| Grave Duty. He did not answer the question, but left it to the common sense of his hearers. No better example of duty could be plac- ed Defore the Republican party in Ala- meda at this time. In order to support | the aaministration of President McKinley | | it is necessary that Congress should be | near a_unit as possible. If the princi- ples of Republicanism are right for a | Congressman, they are right for a Gov- ernor, for a_County Assessor, Recorder County Clerk, for a Supervisor and en for a township Constable. Only by building from the firmest of foundations can a staple structure be reared, and if it be right to vote one part of the Re- publican ticket, it must be right to vote it all, for the intelligent men that nomi- nated one secion as faithfully represented the party as those who nominated other sectio: If party fealty means any thing it means thi The defeating of the bond issue on Sat- day has again drawn attention to the silent” vote of this city. {in this paper on Saturday morning that the bonds hung upon the silent vote and although all the surface indication were | | favorable to the proposition, the voters who do their thinking at home were nu- merous enough to prevent the necessary two-thirds majority.

H. P. Dalton was likewise elected by the silent voters, when surface indications pointed to the election of R. S. Leckie. At th time the center of interest to politicians is the silent vote that will be registered next week. There has been a campaign when so much whisper- ing has been done, and the effect of this will decide the fate of many candidates, startling ex- nf e The fate of the bonds is proof that the ba do walks. ance of power is still with those who not voice their politics on_the side- STUART A.

The big 4ent of the day, a match race between Mayflower and Rock Island Boy, was witnessed by hundreds of people at Ingleside yesterday afternoon. The dog proved himself too much for the bitch. This became evident in the first heat of the stake, so the bettors played their money accordingly. The odds on the first heat were 1 to 2 in Rock Island's favor, but for the two successive heats they tapped off at 5 to 3. Eleven hundred and fifty dollars fc a pile of money to be at stake, consequently every advantage and clever play of either dog brought forth a thunder of applause.

Conqueror and Conquered Fall To- gether, the One Dead and the Other Bleeding and To- +ally Exhausted. Special Dispatch to The Call. KINGMAN, Ariz., Oct., 30. — Judge Spates, an-old mining prospector and hunter, has arrived here, after a jour- ney with his little burro caravan from Southern Utah, 150 miles distant, and is describing to ris friends an encoun- ter he had with a grizzly bear a few days previous to his s'arting. He was | hunting for game and prospecting for gold. Having been out farther than usual from camp, he was returning home post hr te in order to arrive be- fore ddrkness overtook him, when he was suddenly confronted by a bear right in his path and not more than thirty feet away. Spates brought his Winchester rifle to his shoulder and fired. He missed, {and a bound brought the beast so close himself for the next turn. The hare swung to the bitch for the kill. Score, 4 | to him that he could not fire again. Then to 2, in favor of Rock Island Boy. A few |& struggle to the death commenced. It lasted a half-hour or more. Spates more points were made in the second course, which was sensational and excit- ing. Rock Island Boy led in the run-up, the bitch laying off her game, and the dog took the turn by three lengths, thus keep- ing possession of the hare for several points and allowing the bitch only five for her work. Score, 14 to 5. The third round was short and may be told in a few words: Rock Island Boy led off by three lengths, serving himself for several more. The bitch killed, but it was all she ac- complished. for the score stood § to 2. In the all-age stake three dogs, all owned by the same man, came in for final . competition. Ordinarily the winner declared win- is no way of justice tothe the Ingleside ner of the stake, as there guarding the entries, but in betting public the rules of a finish, and this finish yesterday added anoti er dog to the long list of short-end- ers which had been coming In all day Royal Buck, Rocket and Flyaway were mixed up in it for the last. Rocket beat Flyaway in the last course of the fourth round and thus Roval Buck and Rocket stood against each other. The betting was on Royal Buck and the odds were 2 to 1, but he made a fatal drive and fell and his game was up. The dog was so Padly hurt he had to be packed in off the eld.

Firm Friend is get- ting to be an aged dog and would no doubt have won the stake had Mialmo carried as many years and run as. many grueling courses during the day.

Next he fought desperately with his fists. Spates is a powerful man, though well along in years. Seeing that the beast was gaining the mastery he gave the bear a powerful blow directly between the eyes, which for the moment stag- gered it backward. This gave. him an opportunity to reach to his belt for his knife. By this time the bear was again upon him. With a desperate thrust the brave hunter met the rush, plunging the full length of the knife into the heart of the beast. The bear dropped dead and his conqueror fell to the ground, bleeding and exhausted. Regaining his strength sufficiently Spates made his way home.
