Who is Thompson?

THIS question is not asked by any
resident of Los Angeles. We all know
the Judge and we do not desire that he
shall go to Congress. But an up
country paper asks "who is THoMP-
soN?' and San Joaquil valley jour-
nal answers the question in such
way as to almost compel US to the con-
clusion that we do not know the
judge. The following call and response
will be read with interest by the res
idents of this city:

ed by the Independents as 4 candidate for
Congress against HoughtOn. 1t is probable
that he is Il pet-bagger, for nobody seems

The Republican, independent Ticket.

Nor wishing to misrepresent par
ty nor to say anything calculated to
predjudice voters against candidate
or ticket, the HERALD withheld an
expression of opinion as to the strength
or weakness ofthe Independent ticket
which the Republican managers placed
in the field Wednesday last, until the
people should discuss and decide on its
merits or demerits, for themselves.
If we may judge from expressions on
the street the ticket possesses elements
of weakness which almost guarantees
its defeat. 1t is made up almost ex-
clusively of Republicans. This was
anticipated when it was known that
State Gauger BRIEFLY and General
BoUGHToN had captured the primaries
held in this city. But it was not eX-
pected that such weak Republicans
would be selected. The political
status of the candidates as furnished
the HERALD byan old resident is as
follows; Assemblymen, II I HAZARD,
Republican; ALIEN. BAILY, Republi-
can; Treasurer, +. F. +. TEMPLE, Re
publican; Sheriff, T. H. BOYD, Demo-
crat; County Clerk, S. b. CAswELL,
Republican,; Recorder, ]. w. Gill
LETTE, Republican,; Assessor, JERE
FRYER, Democratic antecedents; Tax
Collector, HORACE BURDICK, Repub-
lican; District Attorney, S. M. WHITE.
This young man is claimed to be of
Democratic persuasion, but as he has
only been in the State about seven
months and his name does not appear
on the great Register nor the Attor-
ney's roll, it is difficult to determine
what was the political complexion Of
the last ticket he voted. Supt. of Pub
lie Schools, RoBT. FURLoNG, Republi-
can; Surveyor, w. ]. RUMBLE. Mr..
RUMBLE is an estimable young man,
a good surveyor, an Englishman by
birth and but short time citizen OF
the United States. We never heard
him express his political opinions and
it is probable he has not formed or
expressed q positive notion on the
subject. The offices of Coroner and
Public Administrator were so unim-
portant that no Republican would ac-
cept them SO they were generously be-
slowed on two gentlemen of Demo-
cratic antecedents-Dr. RICHARDSON
and Judge KING. Auditor, FRANK
SABIcHI, late delegate to the Demo-
cratic State Convention. This COM
pletes the list 1t will be seen that
BRTERLY and BoUdHToN dealt out
the valuable offices to members of
their own party with fidelity only
found in Federal office holders. Only
one office of importance, that of
Sheriff, was given to Democrat.
There is a great deal of dissatisfaction
among genuine Independents of both
Republican and Democratic pro clivi-
ties. They do not recognize the tick
ct as the choice OF the Independent
voters of the county and quite num-
ber are demanding call for another
convention which shall not be con-
Quoted under the direction and man
agement of the Federal office ho lders.

Bogus Political Dispatches.

THERE is pretty strong evidence
that the opponents Of Mr.. WIGGISToN
have gone into the business of manu-
featuring bogus dispatches in which
they resort to downright misrepresent-
alton. The following dispatch ap-
pears in the San Diego Union of the
27th inst. and as we have not seen it
in any other paper we reproduce it in
order to show the manner in which
Mr.. H0UGIIToN and his friends pro-
pose to conduct the campaign:
SAN JOSH. July 28.-P. u. Wigginton, Dem
ocratic nominee for Congress, opened the
canvass here on saturday evening. lie de-
neunced hisopponcnt Houghton for his nd
yocacy OF Texas Pacific subside bill, and at
tackled his record in severe terms, declaring
that he had proved himself only n true friend
and worker FOR Tom scott, whom he had done
his best 10 help In his attempt TO persuade
the Government To build n raj road for him.
He declared that the day for railroad subsi-
dies had gone by and ifTom Scott wanted To
build railroad he must build II without
Government aid. He denied having been
nominated by the Central Pacific Railroad /:
hut said nothing about his close legal con-
neetiOn with that corporation. He warmed
up strongly on National politics, and exhor-
Ted the Democracy 10 stand firm, etc 4 see
lion OF the Independents, led by owen OF the
Mercury, support Wigginton, but nearly the
entire farming clement ofSinta Clara eoun-
y, Including u large number of Democrats.
Is strongly for Houghton as the champion
or competing railroad. HOughton will have
alarger majority here than he got two years
ago.
Nothing is more certain than that
Mr.. WIGGINToN never made the as
sertions attributed to him in this dis
patch. 1t did not appear in the papers
here and we presume it was manufac-
tured for the paper in which We found
it. San Diego is the only county in
