Show MOSS BUCKLEV. The banquet recently given to Christopher Chris-topher A. Buckley; the Ban Francisco democratic boss, by Tom Grady in New York, was in (he interest of that shrewd politician and presidential aspirant, Governor Hill. The banquet was intended in-tended to ! capture Buckley and the California democratic delegation in 1 802. The San Francisco Chronicle has this to say about the affui r: 1I1H ka oira that Buckley not only can contract con-tract for the transfer of the democratic party of Culifoinia to him (Hill), but thathecun carry out his contraut and deliver the goods. He know that the democratic party of California Cali-fornia cowers beneath the lash of Buckley .and that it Is not often that he fails to whip a malcontent mal-content Into the traces. He knows that te-tween te-tween elections the democratic party of California Cali-fornia assumes an air of independence, but that when an election is impending Buckley is t.h maMffO anrl ftiitrwrnt, nf the uartV. even the leading newspaper of that party using its influence in-fluence to assist him In carrying out his plans schemes. Hill, then, attended this banquet, which was given by an avowed enemy of Cleveland for the express purpose of capturing Buckley, and through him the solid California delegation to the national democratic convention of 18f. Whether the bargain was concluded or not, or, If concluded, what Its terms are cannot be said; but If it has been concluded let no California Cali-fornia democrat flatter himself that he will be able to move hand or foot to help G rover Cleveland, Cleve-land, however much he may desire so to do. If the game has been made all that the rank and file of the party In this state can do is to stand by and see it played out. They will have no more to say about the nomination for 1HD3 than though they belonged to some other party or lived on some other planet. |
