Secretary of State Curry Caus:s Joy by Angouncing the Names of His Staff. CALL, HEADQUARTERS, MENTO, Jan. The State Board qualization organized at noon to-day. Alex Brown of Calaveras was elected chairman and Charles M. Coglan, who SACRA- of has served the board efficiently for se eral terms, was re-elected secretary. A. Chesebrough remained in his seat and participated in the proceedings, his term of office, under the law, not expiring until his successor is elected and quallfies. His successor would have been J. G. Ed- wards, who was elected in November, but whose death occurred before he could take his office. Varfous-opinions have been expressed as to the legal status of the case presented by the death of Mr. Edwards. Governor Budd could have appointed a successor, but has generously waived that privilege in deference to Gov- e ect Gage. It is contended t Mr. Chesebrough could remain in until the election of a member in f Mr. Edwards at the next gen- ction, but the friends of Mr. Chesebrough ert that he will not hold the office any longer than is necessary to enable the man Governor Gage appoints to_assume office. The best news of the day in connection with the changes in the State Capitol to- day was the announcement by Secretary of ‘State Curry of his appointments. One of the choicest berths within h gift is that of keeper of archives, carrying a salary of $2000 a year. It had been gen- erally supposed that Mr. Curry would ap- point A. J. Rhoads, the well-known Re- publican politician, and present Public Administrator of this county, to the place, but the Secretary of Siate sprung a Burprise by naming Al Lindley a keeper of archives. Mr., Lindley ha served in that position for some-time u der Secretary of State Brown, and he is a popular and capable officer. Mr. Curry named John Hoesch of San Francisco his chief deputy, at a $2400 a year; George W. Scott of bookkeeper. at $2000; M. 3 Francisco, recording clerk; Charles Clear of San Francisco, recording clerk, also; W. R. Stone of Sacramento, sten- ographer; James Peterson of Sonom: nitor; Thomas McDermott of 8an Frai co, engineer; P. Pendergast of Hum- boldt, fireman; P. H. Kerrigan of San rancisco, watchman; Eugene Jackson of San Francisco, watchman: Lew Norton of Sonoma, watchman; Howard Cook of San Francisco, porter: Wililam Archibald of Santa Cruz, porter; James Callely of Santa Cruz, porter; A. C. Morehouse of Sacramento, porter; Willlam Wicks of , porter; George Jennings of Ne- a, elevator attendai Scott and Stone served under Secretary of State Brown In the State Controller's and State Sur- veyor General's offices the old working forces were reappointed. The changes in the other offices have been stated at the time they were decided upon in the columns of The Call. GEORGE A.

Knight ar- rived at the Golden Eagle this evening and immedliately thereupon the corridors filled up with friends from all parts of the State anxious to extend greeting to eorge.
