THE Democratic candidates are cam
vasing the county and We hear that
they are everywhere meeting with
that encouragement which promises a
glorious victory on election day. The
Democratic party is united and strong
and the thin dodge of the Republicans
to run themselves into Office under
the name of Independents only excites
ridicule and contempt. If the so call
ed Independents should by chance
worm themselves into the county of
fees this year we should find them in
the Presidential campaign of next
year training under the Republican
banner. The voters of Les Angeles
county are not to be deceived so easily,
hence the Democratic candidates, be-
ing as they are well known and honor
ed citizens and standing as they do on
clearly defined principles, are sure of
that support which ensures victory.

all raised to the 1000 foot level, from
which six or seven were raised up
through the shaft and the remainder,
thirty in number, made their way
through the Yellow Jacket and es-
capped in that way. The roof of the
main building was consumed and II
portion of the roof of the engine
house. The timbers over the shaft
were uninjured and no damage was
done to the shaft or mine. The entire
loss will probably not amount to more
than $1,000. Great excitement pre-
vailed in this city and Gold Hill until
it was known that the fire was extin-
guished.

examining the books has made his re-
port. 1t appears that intimations
reached here that Watson had been
living in greater extravaganza than
his salary of 1925 per month would
warrant. 1t was also observed that
the young clerk drove fast and high
spirited equine, and he INDUCED in
the expensive luxuries of city life. 1t
was ascertained by inquiry to-day
that Watson had confessed to his
father-in-law that he had used about
$4,000 of the firms money, occasional
ly investing in stock, and replacing
the money with his gains. 1t does not
appear from the enteries in the books
that he intended to dcfraud his en-
ployers, but ready inference follows
that he became involved and from
time to time concealed the fact by
false entries. The members of the
firm are reticent regarding his trans
actions and now while the investiga-
tion is in process decline to say wheth-
er they believe him guilty of criminal
intent or not They hope that future
disclosures will save the young mans
credit. He is the son of clergyman
been in the employ of Blake, Robbins
& Co., since 1871. Last Saturday he
went to San Rafael where his young
wife is passing the Summer. The only
explanation Of his absence given by
the firm is that he become offended at
the preparations for investigation.
Before leaving, however, he declared
his willingness to turn over all the
property in his possession to make
good the losses resulting from error or
indiscretion on his past. Information
received from quarters less reserved
but probably as reliable, places Wat
sons defalcation at $25, ,000o or upwards.
The deficit already established having
exceeded $4,000. The whereabouts
of Watson is not known by his em-
ployers, but his young wife has re-
turned to the city and to parental
care. The rascal attempted to shift
his dishonesty upon the shoulders of
newly appointed clerk, which heart
less treachery should deprive him of
the sympathy commonly accorded to
genteel defaulters.

Independent inconsistencies

A few evenings since Mr.. STEPHEN
NJ. WHITE, Independent candidate
for District Attorney, told the people
of Los Angeles in his maiden cam
paign speech, "that they must vote
for men and not for principles" He
denounced every man who felt him
self bound to party by party ties. In
this denunciation he aimed blow at
the Democrats. The Democrats are
not or ever were bound to party. They
enjoy all the rights of free men in
casting their votes. AS, believers In
the same great political principles,
they see the advisibility of working
together, and giving unanimous sup
port to their party ticket. The Inde-
pendent while vowing that it is not
party, that it has no claim upon the
people except for the menit nominates
is in the same boat in this respect as
the Democracy. Did not that party
pledge its nominees to stand by the
Independen tcounty ticket when they
were placedin nomination? Are not
all of their nominees, excepting two,
ofwhom Mr.. WHITE is one, pledged to
support the Independent State ticket.
How can Mr.. WHITE reconcile that
pledge with his preaching to the peo-
pie to vote for men and not for princi-
pies? Has he not stultified himself so
far as county officers are concerned?
If he thinks any man on the Demo-
cratic county ticket the superior of
his Democratic opponent, he can not
carry out what he asks of the people,
he is not at liberty to vote for him,
he cannot exercise his freedom of con-
science. His pledge confronts him
when he would turn to such man,
and gladly give him his support-and
tell him he owes his allegiance TO the
Independents. If any man ever was,
Mr.. WHITE, through that pledge is a
slave to party, thing he denounces
so bitterly and satrically when he ap-
peals to the people asking them to
support him on the first of September.
He has for the sake Of the Indepen-
dent nomination for District Attorney
bartered away his freedom of thought,
conscience and action and will sup
port for county offices, ticket nomi-
mated by his party even though every
man on 1t may be distasteful to him.
This is his exact situation. Can the
voters Of Los Angeles whom he exhorts
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-08-14

to vote for the best man, to exercise
their freedom of conscience in the se-
lection of their candidates, consist
emily endorse a man at the polls who
has sold his freedom of conscience for
a chance for office? We believe Mr..
WHITE to be, at heart, man of noble
impulses and honest and upright in
his dealings, but he is in bad company
and will on the day of election be
judged by that fact alone and his
claims for the support of the voters of
this county will be justly repudiated.
