THERE is no doubt but that the in
dustrious classes-the men who make
the county and own it-are almost to
man, the advocates and supporters
Of the Democratic county ticket. 1t
would be q wonder if sober thinking
men were not the endorsers of the
Democratic-nominees. They are by far
the best in the field. They come up
to the Jeffersonian test Of honesty and
capability and they stand on a plat
form of clearly defined principles.
They are Democrats and assuch advo-
cate the sound old Democratic doctrine
that the people are the sovereigns; the
officers public servants. And, above
all, these candidates go before the peo-
pie on their own merit and the princi-
pies of their party. There is no equiv
ocation, no Misrepresentation, no
sailing under false colors; no attempt
to foist party ticket on the people
under the guise ofindependents. of

TESTING aside, we will say to those
who are ridiculing Judge THoMPsoN's
chances for Congress, that while we
do not believe he has the remotest
chance for election, yet he will poll ma
ny votes. In this county the Judge
has too many warm friends who be-
lieving as they do that Mr.. WIGGIN-
TOMS election is an assured fact, will,
out of the regard and respect they
bear the Judge, give him handsome
complimentary vote. The reports cir
culated by Mr.. HoUGHToN's friends
and especially by Colonel WARNER
and General HOWARD, both of whom
were defeated by the Judge in the In
dependent Congressional Convention,
that he was nominated by railroad in.
fiuence is SO palpably unjustand SO en-
tirely without foundation, that it has
made the Judge friends where none ex-
listed before these stories were circula-
ted. We may also add that these SLAM
ders have taken many votes from Mr..
HoUGHToN.

Gard from County Superintendent Peck.

EDITOR HERALD: / am informed
that Mr.. VIM. w. Jenkins says that
he has received card from III. n.
Bolander, State Superintendent OF
Public Instruction, certifying that the
State apportionment to each school
census child in Los Angeles county,
in the school year ending July 1st,
1875, was seven dollars and fifty-nine
cents (S7 59); also, that Mr.. Jenkins
claims that the school children have
not only not received their rightfuI
apportionment, but have been de-
frauded out of it, and that he cannot
see where the money has gone to.
Further, that the Azusa, San Fernan-
do, San Antonio, Silver, and other
districts have not received the amounts
due them. AS County School Super
intendent, state that the above is a
mistake-incorrect in every particu-
lar, except Mr.. Bolander's statement.
and could have boen made only from,
ignorance or for some purpose to me
unknown. Each school district has
received every cent that it is entitled
to, as will appear to any intelligent
gentleman who will examine the
books. No apportionment can be
made except by the County Superin-
tendent; neither can Mr.. Rowan,
County Treasurer, or any officer, take
school money except on my warrant.
My accounts have been kept strictly
according to law. My books are open
to the Inspection of the public at all
times, and, so far from wishing to
avoid, invite inspection.

A one mule power sheet called the
Daily Independent, published at the
expense of Mr.. TEMPLE and Judge
THOMPSON, says Mr.. TEMPLE owns
stock in the HERALD. We can assure
the little concern that Mr.. TEMPLE
does not own a share of stock in the
HERALD nor does the HERALD owe
him dollar. More than this Mr..
TEMPLE never advanced or loaned the
HERALD publishing company one
dollar on which he did not receive one
and one half per cent per month in
terest. This is his ''liberalty in giving
timely aid to the HERALD" and we
presume he has been equally "liberar'

Agriculture.

WASHINGTON, August 25th. : The
Agricultural Department has issued
the following crop report for August:
The average condition of Spring wheat
is 81. The condition of Winter wheat
is not reported, but correspondents say
that vast quantities, before being
threshed or housed, were overtaken
by rains and swept away by floods, or
damaged in degrees varying from Sc
we're injury to utter ruin in the field,
principally in the shock. The average
condition of the corn crop in all the
States is about SO. 1t would be over
100, were it not for damage on low
lands by excessive rains, and the in
jury from that cause is likely to be
over estimated. The average condi-
ton of the oat crop for the country is
81. Potatoes promise an extra crop,
the average condition for all the States
being about 104.
Greenback Convention.
DETROIT, August 25th.-In the af-

abolitionist, but was now siding with
the Ohio Democrats because of their
initiation platform. Hon. A. Wood of
Kentucky made lengthy speech in
favor of a greenback rather than gold
currency. Sidney Myers of Chicago
advocated the sixty-five bond. The
Committee on Resolutions reported
the following, which were received
with applause and adopted:
RESOLVED, 1st-That the people owe
to the Government at all times and in
all emergencies, loan of money ade-
quate to the needs at q rate of interest
so low as to be the least possible bur-
den and to offer the least possible COM

not materially different from that of
any other civilized nations.
