Senator Dickinson changed his vote from aye to no before the result was announced and then gave notice of a motion to reconsider the vote.

His threat to elect Dan M. Burns Sen- ator at noon to-day he reconsid- ered and the Assembly shook off its premonitory chill and got down to work. Johnson made no capital of his magnanimity; he simply and unos- tentatiously refrained, and the vote went right along as it has been going since General Barnes took his last batch into camp. There were someé, however, whom Johnson's bold threat still held fearbound. La Baree retired behind a copy of The Call and didn't vote at all, and Senator Currier did not so much as come into the Assembly chamber. Kenneally's “Dan’l M.

The contest that had occurred earlier in the day in the Assembly chamber on | account of the Milton J.

He said when an institution collects and pays out over $60,000 a month it should | be put in a position to do o with no loss to the State and no injury to the busi- ness of the harbor and he thought the present commission had shown it was incapable or unwilling to properly per- form its duties. He referred to the message of Governor Budd in which he recommended an increase in the com- mission and he said that to provide for the better handling of the business it was deemed better to add two more to the governing body. Coming back to the work of the pres- ent commission, he referred to the pur- chasing department that requires an expenditure of $8000 in the purchase of not forme political I goods to the value of § o the har- | l‘, bor police, which he e useless, oy is and had been so characterized by one 7L RO R T | of the members of the commission re- il | sponsible for them; he referred, too, to the watchmen, who, he id, were also of no use, for every vessel had its own watchmen. He charged that the pres- ent commissioners were doing nothing toward cutting down expenses and were letting harbor affairs drift as they had been drifting in the same old expensive . Could the bill only be a vision of retrenchment and reform; of officials all of whom had dutles enough to keep them busy; of useless employes hunting for other jobs, - and everything running like a well- . made watch. Boyce took a different view of the case and declared himself as opposed to the bill. He said the conditions of harbor affairs in San Francisco was enough to put every decent citizen to the blush, but Dickinson’s bill was not the remedy. It would be no relief, he sald, to add two more to the hungry leaders who had already made the in- stitution a shame; would only make matters worse than they are, and he was opposed to the bill, for he knew there were other and better methods of correcting the evils that exist. ‘When it came to Morehcuse he made a regular old-fashioned, cheer-inspiring campaign speech to which no one is ever expected to listen unless he be of the same political faith as the speaker and which is a matter of course when- ever a machine candidate gets up to speak to the boys. “To the victors be- Jong the spoils” was his text and in expounding it he rapped civil service and toleration in politics as hard as his verbal club would allow. He was in favor of the bill, he said, and if he had his way he would turn out every Demo- crat in the harbor service as soon as it was put in force. They had done it to the Republicans, he cried, and thé Republicans should ‘do it to them. “I want to see the political patronage of this State when the State is under a Republican admin- jstration in the hands of Republicans.” the excited Senator ejaculated, “and then when the Democrats get control Jet them fire us.” * As no one had said anythihg about political patronage and Dickinson had been careful to keep his argument in favor of the bill down to the manage- ment of the present commission.
