GOVERNOR DowNEY while in San
Francisco published the following let
ter in the Examiner of the 25th inst.
in response to the report circulated by
Mr.. HoUHGToN's friends that Mr..
WIGGINToN's name wonld not, be
printed on the Democratic tickets in
San Diego county:
EDS EXAMINER: Referring to your art-
ticle, of yesterday, regarding the position OF
Mr.. Estudilo AMI friends in not giving their
support to Mr.. Wigginton, our candidate for
Congress in the Fourth Congressional Dis
trict, | will state "that reports of a similar
character reached myself and friends in Los
Angeles, which occasioned my addressing
several influential Democrats OF San Diego
county on this subject among them the Hon.
Benjamin Hays, who assured me that such
reports are utterly false, and that there will
ted in that county without the name OF Mr..
WiggInton. And, furthermore, that the inn
mediate friends OF Mr.. Estudillo are in that
county as elsewhere, faithfully at work for the
whole ticket. am also informed, by the re-
spectacle authority referred to, that IL Mr..
Houghton gets a majority in that county it
will be by reason OF Republican influence, and
not Democratic, Notwithstanding the false
notions, there existing, in regard to the sup
posed influence Mr.. Houghton could have in
carrying out the scheme Of Mr.. Scott. L am
thoroughly satisfied that the claims OF the
friends OF Mr.. Houghton in the county Of
San Diego, for majority beyond his party,
are groundless, or, at all events, exaggerated.
JOHN G.. DowNEY.

There is to be no disappointment
this time. The play is bound to come
off. The world must come to an end
on the tenth of next month. The
Millerites have gone over and over the
figures and they come out right every
time. There have been slight errors
of million of years or so in the cal
culations made heretofore, but nothing
of the kind can happen on this last
footing up. Everything is up to the
regulation standard now. The bills
are out; the cast made up and it wont
do to disappoint the audience again.
So have your ascension robes ready
and your faces clean on the morning
of the tenth proximo, for on that occa-
sion
"The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous pala-
ces,
The soemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which 1t inhabit, shall dissolve,
And like the insubstantial pageant faded I;
Leave not a wrack behind"

Each One For Himself.

Tickets h ave been received in this
city from San Francisco on which are
printed the entire list of Demoratic
State and County candidates, with the
exception of D. B. WooLF for Clerk of
the Supreme Court. For,it is substi-
tuted the name of GRANT,. TAGGART,
the Republican nominee for that office.
Other straight Democratic tickets
with the single name of an Indepen-
dent or Republican nominee are cir
culated all over the State. In this
county each one of the Independent
candidates is running on his own hook
and each one has had thousands Of
Democratic tickets printed bearing his
own name. Each seems to think that
his only chance for election is to get
on the Democratic ticket alone and
steal into the ballot box under the
guise of Democracy. These facts show
stronger than any thing else we could
offer, the selfish nature, and traitorous
disposition of these candidates who

SOME person or persons who have
no fear of the punishment promised to
liars, are busy circulating the report
that the HERALD will cease publica-
tion after the election. There are no
doubt number Of tricksters and evil
doers in this city who dread the HER
AID as the devil does holy water, who
would like to attend its funeral, and to
them we take pleasure in saying that
when the HERALD discontinues publi-
cation there will be no papers printed
in California and of the city of Los
Angeles not one stone will remain up
on another. The HERALD is a well
established,paying paper, as indepen-
dent of politicians and elections as it is
of its enemies and the knaves who
have tried and failed to control 1t.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 30th.-A
careful examination of the accounts of
the Bank of California warrants the
belief that the Bank will resume busi-
ness. The nominal assets are twenty
millions and the liabilities only twelve
millions, leaving surplus of seven
millions sure, and possibly eight. The
stockholders are the wealthest men
in the community, representing over
one hundred and fifty million dollars,
and the easiest way out of the diff
Guilty will be to come forward with
present relief and set everything run
ming again. The ISLANDERS of the Bul-
ietm thus receive another rebuke. No
failure has followed the stoppage of
the Bank, and everything looks bright
for the future.

"Men's evil manners live in brass;
their virtues we write in water"
RALSToNis dead, and we notice decid-
ed inclination on the part of our ex-
changes to point out the stained spots
in his character. No man is perfect
and no rich man is without blemish.
Humanity is weak and money does
not strengthen it. This dead man
whose faults are now marshaled before
the public gaze was public benefac-
tor; no charitable request left him emp
ty handed; no public enterprise was
left unaidedby him; no industrial pur-
suit applied to him in vain. He list
ened to all and aidedall. He was one
of the most generous, whole souled
men that ever gladened the heart of
the widow, lightened the task of the
toiler and assisted the manufacturer
to successful business. San Francisco
has many other rich men, but she has
not one whose money has done as
much and as general good as that Of
RALsToN. "But," says the carping
critic, che had faults" Indeed! With
out these he would have been more or
less than man. There are thousands
Of rich men walking the streets of
San Francisco to-day, many of them
wearing the cloak of religion, whose
private moral character is ten times
worse than that of Mr.. RALsToN. If
the command of Christ "Let those
who are without sin throw the first
stone" could be enforced, few indeed
of San Francisco's millionaires would
utter a word against the character of
the man with whom so lately they
were only too glad to associate. In
his life RALsToN did much good and
now that he is dead let us throw the
mantle of charity over his faults. OF
his end may we not properly say the
death of RALsToN was a fit termina-
ton of lifes full of greatness, splen-
dor and power. He breathed out his
spirit in the great Bay whose waters
he had done so much TO fill with COM
m cree. AS the great metropolis shook
to it's centre and reverberated with the
crash of the giant bank, his soul took
its flight. AS the people of San Fran
cisco pass by the tomb of the great
financier they will remember only his
virtues and achievements; while grey
haired and stricken, sitting in sorrow
amid the ruins ofhis empire, he would
have been the victim of scorn and cal
umny and his tortures only equaled by
the terrors of He'll. The anguish of
one so successful and naughty, as he
saw passing forever from his hand the
vast wealth and honor it had welded
with such mastery skill, cannot be
conceived by ordinary humanity, and
ought to soften our hearts with pity if
it does not excuse the act of self de-
struction.
"And showed not Fortune thus how fame and
sway,
And all we deem delightful, and consume

We are informed that in last Saturdays
issue Of the Weekly Herald, there was fol ed
a Supliment in which 1t stated that Judge
