P. BROWN. L. 8. CALKINS. CURRY AND HiS DETRACTORS. late wifé of Charles F. Curry of San Francisco lay dead and cold in his home, and the sorrowing, distrac'ed husband was weeping for one who had been more than all the world else to him, hireling of the Democratic County Central Committee was busily engaged in distributing hundreds of pamphlets containing an hysterical assault upon Mr. Curry’s record and accusing him of having robbed the people of San Francisco, Under any vircumstances it®would have been a despicable and heartless piece bf business to assail him when he was mourning over the bier of one so near and dear to him. But the accusations are false and misleading, ind that renders the act all the more unpardonable. They were trumped up to deceive the voters in behalf of his opponent who has been all along resorting to the most desperate measures to endeavor to defeat him at the polls. Mr. Curry enjoys the distinction of being the only County Clerk of San Francisco who has made the office self-sustaining. At the close of the last fiscal year the balance over the expense of conducting the office was $247,392 30. The appropriation made for the County Clerk’s office in. 1880-1, when there were but 4,445 cases tried before the ‘Superior Courts, naturally was totally inadequate for the proper transaction of business when the number of cases before the Superior Courts had increased in 1896-7 to 8,936. The business of the Clerk’s oftice when Mr. Curry took charge of it was eight or nine months behind, but it is now kept up to we In comparing the /increased cost of conducting the Clefk’s office with that of other departments, the result shows most favorably to Mr. Curry. In the Auditor’s office-in 1881 the expense per annum was $13,145; in 1897, $31,395; Recorder’s office, 1881, $35,000; in 1897, $45,900; -Sheriff’s office, 1881, $88,000 1897, $107,745. In the Street Department the increase*was from $279,000 in 1881, to $816,000 in 1897, and so on throughout the entire city. i ae Saturday night, while the MAGUIRE A CROKERITE. Arthur McEwen and Homer Davenport have been*brought home to help out Maguireism during the closing days of the campaign. The Examiner says this with something approaching a flourish. In view of this fact the following estimate of Mr. Maguire written by Mr. McEwen and published in the Bulletin over his signature on the 28th of January last is timely and interesting: “Croker Club—it is the thing that fascinates—continues to be the most prosperous institution in New York. Its colossal success has helped to swell his Majesty’s head to the point of bursting. Among the new members the name of Representative James G. Maguire of California appears. This will astonish a good many people in and out of Judge Maguire’s state. Doubtless he thought it safe to follow where Senator Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, led; but the Senator is a]politician who deemsfit wise to seize every opportunity to get a foothold in the enemy’s country and do missionary work for Bryan and silver. The Judge, however, is more than a politican—more than a silver __man—he is revered by the single taxers of the United States as one of the foremost disciples of Henry George. That he should join the gang which crowds the Fifth avenue shrine todo homage, social and, political, to Boss Croker, whom Henry George, less than three months ago, denounced from the stump as a public enemy, a thief and all around scoundrel, whom he would, if elected do his best to put in stripes! Were Henry George’ s son to apply for enrollment as one of Croker’s followers it would not be more strange, more repugnant, than tbis ection of Judge Mawats as louder the international talk for . OUR CANDIDATES — \The “Republican” Gives Them ;. as good a County Clerk as this county AT TRUCKEE, a Good Send-off. Thinks They» Should and Will be All Elected. * o~ The Truckee Republican of Saturday afternoon says: The’ Republican county candidates arrived here on their cempaigning tour Thursday evening. They are a fine appearing lot of men and generally conceded to make up the strongest ticket ever put before the people by any party inthe county. They are all representative men, and men who are well known and have established reputations for honesty, integrity and ability. W. S. Robinson, the candidate for Assembly, has already represented this county in the Legislature one term. His record in the Legislature is his recommendation; thoroughly awake to the interests of -the county, he bas won the confidence of the people and will undoubtedly be re-elected this election. ue Theodore H. Wilhelm, who aspires to be County Assessor, is one of Grass Valley’s leading business men and citizens. Heis aman of sound sense and. good judgment, a man who is thoroughly acquainted with property valuations and would undoubtedly fill the office to which he aspires to the satisfaction of the people. As: well as being a thorough business man, he stands high socially and his good natured, jovial manner win him friends every where. Dana B. Getchell, the candidate for Sheriff, is well known in this County and it seems that nearly everyone wants to see him re-elected. When Sheriff Douglass was killed, he was appointed to fill out the unexpired term and has shown himself to be a capable and careful officer. Our old-and esteemed citizen, A. ©. Cooke is too well known here to need any words of eulogy. Everybody knows that the county money wfll be safe in Justice Cooke’s hands. He has been a consistent and steadfast Republican since the infancy of the party. Democrats as well as Republicans are going to vote for him. ~ 3 F. L. Arbogast, if elected, will make ever had. He is a school teacher by profession, beiug a graduate of the State Normal School at San Jose. He has been a successful teacher and is a man of sterling worth. Kind, generous and obliging, no one will ever be sorry they voted for him.: He is considered one of the strongest men in the county and his chances for’ success are most encouraging. There is one thing to. which the parents and people do look and should look with more interest than any thing else and that is the’ education of the youth, the future citizens and managers of this government, in whose hand the fate and destiuvy of our county lies. Sothe Superintendent of Schools is a person in whose election all are iuterested. His influence spreads all over the county. He should be ecarefully chosen. His qualification and fitness shonld be thoreughly understood. It isthe duty of every voter to think carefully about the selection -of this officer. W.J. Rogers, thepresent incumbent, has a reputation which ought to satisfy anyone. Observing, careful and conscientious, he has made one of the very best Superintendents of Schools this eeunty has ever had. Genial. “John Werry,” our capable and obliging County Recorder, who seeks re-election, has been an excellent. official. He makes a friend of every man he meets and every person in this county that has had business with him wants to see him re-elected. Always obliging, gentlemanly and courteous, he seems exactly fitted for the place he is in. trict Attorney, is a young man of whom Nevada county should be proud. Born his industry and application worked himself toa position among the foremost members of the bar. Though still a young man he has had much practical experience, having practiced before the Superior Court since 1891. The office of District Attorney is an important one. He is the county’s attorney and upon his judgment depends largely the expenditure of the county funds. Unwise acts on his part can put the county to great expense, while on the other hand judicial handling of eases can save large expenditure. He is the legal adviser of all the county officers, and must be thoroughly up in_ his profession. No ove can doubt Mr. Power’s ability to fill the place. Four years ago he was defeated) by a few votes on account of bis youth. That universal peace the more energetic the work on new warships and improved death-dealings guns goes on, the New York Press discovers. In the Franco-German war ‘every third German soldier had a map of the country through which he was traveling. eee iff's boarders. objection is now removed, he having reached an age which, with his experience, entirely fits hini for the position. Henry Daniels, the candidate for Coroner, is well fitted for the place. He is a thorough gentleman and will make an excellent run. While the position is generally looked upon as of see; whoever you are, you will quit as E. B. Power, the candidate for Dis-. and raised in this county, he has by. PROTEST FROM “PIRTY. BILL. ‘A Scorcher From a Citizen “There Who ‘Wants Reform. Nevapa Ciry, October 31, 1898. Epitor TrRANsScriPT:—I saw a piece in Saturday’s TRANSCRIPT to the effect that Will Hutehison and myself were living in the cesspool of Piety Hill.. Whoever put that piece in the paper is a sad failure as a newspaper correspondent, business, if you go on hitting the truth, the City Trustees and Health Officer on the head like that. If you take my adI shall after I send in this failure. Yes, we, James Langman, Hugh Murchie and myself are living on anIsland in a sea of filth. And some of the Trustees tried to bluff us into staying in théslum. But we dug down in our owbh pockets and scraped up the price of 400 feet of sewer pipe and erawled out; and put in patent water closets and patent sink, thinking our neighbors on each side would do likewise,as they had partly agreed to do. But when we told them that we expected them to pay their share in the main pipe they thought we were trying . to rob them. ‘ And I dun’t suppose either of them have over $10,000 or $15,000; one living in Grass Valley and the other in San “Jose. Idon’t suppose the stench does bother THEM much only when the wind blows that way. But if it were some poor devil, he would have no rest from the Trustees or health officer and no doubt they® would bave Poundmaster Craig after him to buy: tags for the; germs and microbes that came from the filth. The atmosphere has become so foul around here of late the dairy aud butcher wagons do not ‘dare to come on this side of-our island for fear of tainting their cargoes. The ‘Trustees are very anxious to keep the condition of things here in the dark. We have been after them . fora year or more to put ip an electric; light near the head of the steps leading . from Pine street up to Jordan street. . There is not a light on this (Jordatr) . street from one end tothe other. The Trustees are “blowing” the city for} four/lights down Deer creek for the benefit of two families, but they can’t afford one here for the benefit of eight ‘or more familfes. ‘Their excuse is that there is no one lives on the street. They mean, do doubt, that there will not be anyone living. here very long, thinking no doubt that those that do not die with diphtheria, cholera, yellowjack, typoid fever, -leprosy or some other disease of that sort, will stumble along in the dark and fall into some of their cesspools and drown or fall down . the golden stairsand break their necks, . sothat after all are dead the property . can go to the city. I bave the deed to . my place made out to that effect already. . Ibere is one thing that I don’t under. stand.

Speaking of the fact that the election of Fusion Congressmen and a Fusion Legislature will mean that California . disapproves of the Republican admipistration and of President McKinley’s ble the commercial business of this) State, the San Jose’ Mercury says: "Ite! is not probable.that California-will sacrifice its most important interests at . the solicitation of Mr. Maguire and the Conglomerates, merely that they may get ottice. : All over the nation the cohorts of fusion and confusion are trying to avoid national issues, remarks the Hanford Sentinel, and insisting that local issues are of paramount importance, but there is not an intelligent citizen in America who, if he will stop to think, does not know that a triumph of tbe forces in opposition to the Republican . party and the administration would be claimed by these discé@dant factions as public condemnation of President MeKinley, his administration and his party. None have perceived this fact more clearly thau Theodore Roosevelt, recently nominated by the Republicans . for Governor of New York, and-in the present temper of the public as regards the doughty Colonel, the words of no/. man will be taken with more confidence. In a speech accepting the nomination . he declared himself uneqnivocally as . follows: “The isSnes for honest money, for protection to American industry, for the upbuilding of a merehant marine adequate to carry the commerce of the world and to form a naval militia in time of war, are as vital this year as they were in the great contest which was so successfully fought in 1896”, WE frequently see the statement that our soldiers in Cuba are “dying ‘iike flies.” That’s very Satisfactory; who ever heard of a fly dying, anyway ? .
