DraWi i tFhfi the recent EU1 campaign ni In progres It tu generally accepted foregone conclusion Out th access ol th Democrats In the legislative fight would mean the election of George Hesrrt to the United State Senate This Impression tu sot distarbed so long as the finan cUl necessities of the party required that itihoold subsist Sow however that the battle haa been fought and wonthe outlook for a walkover on the part of the solid man of the party grow lata favorable A number of men are mentioned aa candidates for the office The one most frequently spoken of if ex Senator Geonre Hearst He has been ambitious for polltl eal honors for a long time He waa a can didate for the nomination for Governor at fan Joee in 1883 In 1885 he received the complimentary nomination of the DemoeraU in the Legislature Ior United 8mte Senator and in 1886 he was ap pointed United States Senator by Gorernor Stoneman to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator John Miller Under the par of hb ambition he has always contributed liberally to the campaign fund ol his party and in this respect he has been retarded aa the solid man of the organisation for the last six or eight years Daring the last campaign he made a bold and open fight for the United 8tatea genatorshlp It is probable that he aided a large majority of the Demo cratic candidates for the Legislature in their fight for election and in this way secured their support in advance Bat it li said that some of the members ol the next Legislature are entirely tree from any obligation to Hearst It is said that if a ball dozen Democrats in the Legislator stood out and demanded the election of the ablest member of the party in the State instead of Mr Hearst It would be a breach of party discipline that would be more honored than a slavish obedience to the caucus decree This is the plan at least that is being discussed to secure the defeat of Hearst Another candidate who was spoken of two years ago much more frequently than now Is Delmas He has withdrawn from politics of late but formerly he was reearded as the leader of the 8tockton Convention faction and he still holdra prominent place in the party hen Governor Stoneman appointed Hearst to suc ceed tne late senator aimer ueunaa was nrged for the appointment by a great many influential Democrats in the State It is said that Mr Delmas la not making any effort to secure the office now Hellmen is a prominent Democrat In Southern California He was the chairman of the Democratic delegation to the Los Angeles Convention He is a promi nent mercnaut in i os Angeies ana is tne owner of a laree vineyard He was the backer of Governor Stoneman at San Jose when be received the nomination for Gor ernor He is meatlooed in Southern California as a candidate for the United States Senate It is not known what strength he can develop but in cm of a deadlock Jt is oopea Dy ms irienas cast ne can De pushed to the front Francis Newlands has a larce number of friends who speak of him as the most avaiiaDie man in tne party in iaci ms name most frequently mentioned as a rival of Hearst In some quarters it is thought that the fight will in the end be narrowed down to between him and Hearst and that both may employ the same weapon wealth to compels their ends hewlandi took sides with the Antl 8 ickton Convention faction At tha Stockton Convention he took the floor agalast the resolut on denouncing Juoge Field and Delmas replied to him He su thus conspicuously placed aa the leader of the opposition to the movement began by that body But that old fight waa Ignored in the last Democratic Con Ventlon and it may be Inferred that it is one of the thtnes that the party has quietly agreed to forget English the Chairman of the Democratic state Central Committee for four years is aUo frequently mentioned as a candidate for the Cnlted States Senate He has probably devoted more time and labor to the Democratic party during the last five years than any other fire men in tne organization As yet be has receive no recognition for bis services He was a canataate tor collector oi tne fort out tne fight that was made against him by the Anti Stockton Convention people pre ced the President azainst annointu him But his friends now say thai if there la to be a deailock over the Senatcrshlp he will be brought forward They claim tbat he would make the most Industrious Senator In the party as he has shown In the State Central Committee that he Is capable of an immense amount of political work Wallace bas been a candidate for the United States Senate in former years and It is said that be has neverquite giten up tbat ambition His friends are anx luus tbat he should again enter the race He has been elected Superior Judge by a handsome vote and it is said that he could not afford to resign that office a few months after he had assumed It But it may be assumed that when a man is onre in the race tor such an office as that of United States Senator he can never fully withdraw II a favorable opportunity presents itself for his election Judge Wallace would probably be found In the arena Collector John Hatter who was formerly In the senate is frequently spoken of aa a candidate for the successor to ill ams Ue la i man of wealth and leisure and ability His position gives him considerable political Influence But Jje not Intimated in any public way that ho is a candidate for the office as it Is probable that he would not make an effort to getthe election unless there was a deadlock or a hitch of some kind Then he would probably be brought forward southern California furnishes another name tbat is mentioned in connection with the candidacy of the various promt nent Democrats for the office of tnited States Senator It is that of Stephen Vi hite of Los Angeles Mr hite belongs to the younger generation of Democrats in the State lie was Chairman of the Stockton Convention and he was again elected Chairman of the Democratic State Convention that met In this city in September He belongs to the radical wing of the Tarty He is one of the prominent law vers of Los Angeles and was a successful candidate for the State Senate at the recent election He is not making a canvas fur tne United Sutes Senatorship but It Hearst finds any difficulty in gettius the prise the friends of Stephen White will surety bring his name forward John Irish Is suggested aa a candl da when the matter is mentioned among lUictans Mr Irish belongs to the uorlty wing ot the party and this uU certainly stand in his ay Samuel Wilson and Joseph Hoge are both spoken of They are both promt sent Democrats and hare a high standing In the party on account of their ability The first named is cited as one of the ablest men in the party He was selected to deliver tbe oration on Tilden by the Iroquois Club recently But neither of these gentlemen mix much in politics 1 ney are mentioned more in contrast with Mr Hearst than in any other way Greene Curtis of Sacramento who has held a prominent station In the Democratic party for a long time is also suggested aa a possible cand date He took a consplmous part in the State convention that met in this city a few weeks ago and as a candidal a aralnst Stephen hite fr the enarmanahtp of that body Xiies SeerldB la aoo named by some of his friends He baa high standing In his party George Flournoy name Is also iesrd as a possible candidate But the leading candidate Is beyond all question hearsL The otters are in the background ready to be brought forward in the event that there is a revolt against Hearst The fact that there are so many candidates mentioned may Indicate that their friends would like to see a vigorous contest and this may lead to an attire light BETON KAJIB The Van TTbo Hade the Ascent of Mount 8U

the Australian labor federation and the San Francisco federa tion in the negotiations which Lave led to the nearly completed arrangements for an International federation It Is well known that tha labor union la England and the British colonies bare been more powerful and more successful in controlling the several branches ot trade to which they pertain than tha union In the United Bute This Mr White attributes speaking for his own anion In particular to tha fact that Australian and English union nave been controlled try mora conserra ttva men than those wiio are in the ascendant In the California unions and he relate an Instance where the 8ydney ship owners issued a notification of a reduction ot 1 a month in the wages of the cooks and stewards The union promptly requested a conference assuring the shipowner ot a willingness to submit to the redaction It it were shown that the condition ofthe shipping business rendered it necessary The conference was held the President of the Chamber of Commerce presiding and lasted through three days Both tides presented their argument with the utmost coolness and cood temper and the shipowner admitted at tbe dose of the conference that the cooks and stewards were not overpaid and receded from their demand tor a reduction The Sydney union doe not demand the dtaeharge of non union men nOr refuse to work with such but wherever it find a non union man employed uses every endeavor to persuade him to Join tbe union if he is a good workman if he is not it doe not iear hit competition nor desire him as a member In fact the union expels an Incompetent man if by any chance one gains admission The Secretary of the union endeavors to learn the capabilities and qualifications of every member and to conscientiously report them to the seekers after men It was onthi principle that the Sydney nnlon Sent the proposition which Mr White In the Marine Firemen Union last week urged the men to offer to 8preckel for the settlement of the trouble namely that union crews of firemen should be shipped the anion to select the men and furnish a bond in 1300 for the competency of the hands and their fulfiUmeut of their agreement When tha Marine Firemens Union permitted it men to ship on the Australia without the consent ot the Federated Trades the latter body ceased to be responsible for the further maintenance of the contest hence this suggestion was made directly to the marine Bremen In the contest with the Spreckeis the Sydney union has been interested first to maintain its rules by preventing vessels from coming into that port with Chinese employed In any capacity It next motive baa been to afford fraternal aid to the San Francisco union An Investigation showed tbat the steamship company agreed to discharge it Chinese if the San Francisco nnlon would fill tbelrpUces that this waa done and the Australia sailed with two or three non union white firemen and the remainder union men that the Alameda was to sail nnder similar condl tions but at the last moment the union men refused to go claiming that they understood that the entire crew Were to be union men and that the vessel sailed with non union white firemen but the other two the Zealand and the Mariposa will probably carry Chinese Mr White intimates that if the proposition recommended by his uolon or some otber satisfactory one be not accepted by the San Francisco union and the company the Sydney union will be likely to propose terms directly to the company The Sydney men have refrained from doing this heretofore because in a spirit of fraternity they preferred to let the settlement be made and the Chinese discharged at this port where the San Francisco unions members would get the vacated positions but if such a result cannot be accomplished the Sydney union will undoubtedly make an effort to supplant with its own men the Chinese crews or parts of crews coming to this port The members of the Marine Firemens Union assert that they will make no compromise that they find plenty of employment at present and that they do not want any of the Spreckeis work unless the company will accede to their terms and employ only nnlon men It is understood tbat the company bas abandoned the position which it took with regard to the Mariposas firemen and ts willing to concede tbe twelve men de manded by tbe men Instead of restricting tha number to nine

800 feet wide and It has been for some time the Intention to turn It Into a lake but that project has been abandoned mainly on account of the expense which It would involve The commissioners have

area of the gardens is one tenth of that of the park For the next six years an increase ot 20000 per annum will be necessary to reclaim the land build rotds and Improve the park generally If the appro Sriatlon were increased to 24 per cent Hammond said the whole would not be spent every year and a further appropriation would then not be necessary for ten or twelve years The Bradbury Waterworks bill

PUEACniNO Cautes of Success and Non SuccessSuccess In tbe Pulpit Be Cook ot Oakland Introduced the subject for discussion In tha Congregational Club yesterday The Success and Non Sncces sot Preschers and th Causes He maintained that th conversion of souls was or should be the great aim of the preacher and that his success should be estimated by th number of conversions nnder hit sermons Among the causes ot non success be mentioned a lack of earnestness and a lack of a thorough belief in soma of the most imnortant doctrines of the gospel Some preacher aimed apparently to entertain tneir hearers rather than to convert them He rad listened recently to a sermon In a Congregational pulpit which had nothing of Christ in it He did not tee how the advocates of the new theology or An dover views could expect success lntheir ministry Another cause of the want of success among the preachers wu the lack of prayer and the study ot the Scripture Dr Barrows said did not agV with Mr Cook with regard to the Andover view The new theologians ba believed were spiritual and successful preachers a any Professor Smythe one of the leaders ot that movement knew to be a noble preacher and putor Chaplain Blake also took tome exceptions to the views of Mr Cook He said that acrordlnr to hi Cooks estimate of success In preaching Christ wu not very successful Seed sowing wu an Important part oi the pasters work If men got th Lie that the preacher wu after them they would go the other way Dr Line agreed with Dr Barrows and Chapla Blake aud thaugot Brother Cook rather Metaodistie in his views It would nat do always to measure success by visible results Rev Mr Williams said there was more effort with many pastors to get men into the church than to keep them in The coasequence wu that many who Jumped into the gospel net and wer counted caught soon Jumped out and were lost Rev Mr Tobey remarked that mere haranguing men and exhorting them to come to Christ and be utd wu of little account There must be Instruction and edification Dr Mooar could not agree that tha conversion of adult persons anoold be the great object of th preacher nor could he accept Mr Cooks views ot th Andover
