One rolled out barrels, another to

This was all right, and Mr.. Blink
had good mind to cancel his insnr-
ance policies and depend on his local
fire brigade. Before taking this
step, h,wever. it occurred to him to
give his programme trial. He had
little curiosity to s"e if his en-
ployeos would spring to their posts
according to instructions, and he
studied out plan. Yesterday
morning he passed upstairs, kicked

The Independents.

Nothing could have astonished the
community more than the action Of
what is called the Independent party
at the recent Convention. No party
had so favorable an opportunity to
sweep everything in this county.
There were twenty-nine delegates in
that Convention and TIVE nty-three of
that number were of the old Republi-
can ranks. The Republicans finding
themselves in the majority appropri-
ated everything Of any value to their
old partizans, and turned o yer the ref
use to the poor Democrats. Such
as the Coroner's office, Public Admin
istrators and the delapidated office of
Sheriff. The Sheriff7s office was once
valuable, but it has been shorn of all
its strength, until nobody wants it.
1t will not more than pay the running
expenses ofthe office. The Public Ad-
ministrator has never made enough
to pay for the salt that is required to
season that officers bread. The Cor
oner's fees depends upon the fatal ac-
cidents and lawlessness ofthe country.
There is not enough Of this now to
pay, and We hope to have less in the
future. Take it altogether it is a Re-
publican outfit, with not enough De-
mocracy to leaven the lump. But we
would not complain if they had given
us their best Republicans. They put
on two or three good men, and the
balance are men Of third or fourth
rate ability. They have made grand
if they think that two or
three good men can drag the whole
ticket through successfully. If there
had been disposition to fairness they
would at the opening of the Conven-
tion, have said to their weak Demo-
cratic brethren: "We will make an
equal divide of the affair between the
two old parties and the nominations
sahll be made upon that basis" But
there was none of this fairness in di-
viding the offices proposed, and we
are of the opinion that if it had been
proposed it would have been ignored.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-07-31

in this city ON next Saturday. They
have long ways the best of the fight
as 1t now stands, but it is an easy
thing tothrow away advantages. The
Democrats may yet mar their pros
pect and lose victory that now seems
to be almost within their grasp. A
good ticket-a ticket made up of capa-
bic men-is the only safeguard against
possible defeat. TO do this the con-
vention must free itself from the in
fiuence of rings, cliques, combinations
and corporations and work with an eye
single to the best interests of the peo-
pie. The HERALD is an independent
journal with Democratic proclivities.
1t believes that in the principles of the
Democracy are found the only guar
antee for the maintenance and per-
petuation Of our Republican form OF
Government. We know it was under
the administration of the Democratic
party and through adherance to the
principles of that party that the nation
grew from infancy to manhood and
stood as she still stands and as we be-
lieve she will ever stand, terror to
monarchists and the pride and admira-
tion Of the liberty lovers Of the world,
yet the HERALD advocates no man be-
cause he claims to be a Democrat and
chances to secure the endorsement of
Democratic convention. We support
principles and we can only endorse
men whom We have reason to believe
are the exponents of sound Democrat
ic principles, not the agents aud work
ers of rings and corporations. Let
the convention make nominations for
the people-the people are Democrat
ic-and the success OF their ticket is
an assured fact.

THE HERALD was the text of rath-
er acrimonious debate between Mr..
PoTrs and Mayor BEAUDRY in the
Council on. Thursday evening. In
the course of his remarks the Mayor
used language which We consid er ill.,
timed and calculated to be twisted in
to Misrepresentation Of the HERALD.
When Mr.. BEAUDRy asserts that Mr..
PoTrs has purchased controlling in
terest in the HERALD stock for ''our
enemies" he is, we presume, alluding
to some one whom he regards as his
individual personal enemy whom he
feared would use the paper to injure
his private interests. =. If this is what
Mr.. B2AUDRY wished to say we can
answer that he is mistaken. The
management of the HERALD, as he
is well aware, has remained in the
same hands as before and we can as
su re him that no stockholder, not
even Mr.. PORTS, has given the man.
agement the slightest intImation of a
desire to have Mr.. BEAUDRY or his
interests adversely allnded to.
