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.

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.

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. Ifthe Trustees don’t know that)
anyone lives here when two of them .
live near here, bow in h 1 do the}
Assessors and tax collectors find their;
way in here so easy? I can’t see why!
four taxes are not as good as the taxes!
of others. bs
But I suppose we are enly a; “bump!
on a log.” Au. Huson. .

POLITICAL REFLECTIONS.
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 ?
