between the Missouri Pacific and the
st. Louis, Kansas City and Northern
roads. Officers of both roads claimed
to have had no part in calling the con-
ference, land profess to be satisfied with
the present condition of affairs, by
which the Missouri Pacific and Kan

The cut rates have drawn away from
these Chicago roads forty per cent. of
their Kansas and Nebraska travel and
that it is at their instance the confer

TASTELESS
MEDICINES.

A PROMINENT NEW YORK PHYSICIAN
IA lately complained to Dundas Dick & Co
about their Sandalwood Oil Capsules, stating
that sometimes they cured miraculously, but
that patient of his had taken them without
effect. On being informed that several imita-
tions were sold he inquired and found his
patient HAD NOT BEEN TAKING Dundas Dick
& Co.'s.
What happened to this physician may have
happened TO others, and Dundas Dick & CO.
take this method of protecting physicians
druggists and themselves, and preventing
OIL OF SANDALWooD from coming INTO dis
repute.
Physicians who once prescribe the Capsules
Will continue to do so, for they contain the
PURE OIL in the BEST AND CHEAPEST
form.
Dundas Dick d Co. use more Oil of Sandal
wood than all the wholesale and retail drug
gists and perfGmers in the United States COM
bined, and this Is the sole reason why the
PURE OIL is sold cheaper in their Capsules
than in any other form.
OIL OF FSANDALWOOD is fast supersedine
every other remedy, sixty Capsules ONLY
being required to insure "a safe and certain
cnre in Six or eight days. From no other
remedy can this result be had.

On the stearing oar is written "Dolly
Varden"-the name of the boat.
BOOTH is playing the part of the
s'dumb old servitor" and to the remark
of BIDwELL that the corpse is mighty
dry, he answers "chew the grape root
and don't disturb me while am study
ing my next speech" On low bank
stand GoRHAM and SARGENT while
near them kneeling and holding the
painter of small boat is BILLY CARR.
The little craft has but one oar on
which is painted Subsidy" GoRHAM
pointing to the craft of Elain says "that
cargo is fifty per cent below proof"
BILLY CARR appeals to GoRHAM and
SARGENT with "Why don't you get on
board; we all belong in the same
boat?n to which SARGENT responds
"Wait moment, BILLY, we must
yield precedence to the corpse, you
know" The portraits are all excel
lent and would be recognized at a
glance by any one acquainted with the
parties. The picture is q good hit and
will be appreciated by the lovers of
good thing no matter to what party

didates-on Judge THOMPSON during
his absence from the city is generally
regarded as unfair and in bad taste.
The Republican chieftains, State qua
ger BRIEFLY and General BRUToN
captured the Independent county con-
vention and nominated an almost
straight out Republican ticket. made
up for the most part of fifth rate men
and this has driven hundreds who in
tended to vote the Independent ticket
from the ranks of that organization
to the Democracy. The Democratic
county ticket is composed of first class
citizens-gentlemen who are popular
with the people and in whose honesty
and capability all have confidence.
Judging from letters we are receiving
from all parts fthe county, we are al
most confident that the entire Demo-
cratic county ticket will be elected by
majorities ranging from one hundred
and fifty to three hundred.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-08-18
The Political Outlook.

The Great Register of Los Ange-
les county now foots up nearly eight
thousand names. Judging from the
number daily added to the list, we
estimate that on election day the reg
istered voters of this county will num-
ber fully eight thousand. Of course
a great many names on the Register
are not those of actual voters; many
have died and many have gone else
where and neglected to take transfers,
but it is estimated in the Clerks of
flee at least six thousand votes will be
polled in the election, which takes
place on the first of September. How
these votes will be divided and for
whom cast is the problem which is
just now puzzling the different candi-
dates for office. The vote on the State
ticket of the different parties may be
easily approximated. OF course men
of different political views reach diff
ferent conclusions, yet it seems to be
generally conceded that the Demo-
cratic State ticket will have from three
to five hundred majority in this coun-
ty. The Independents claim major
ity for BIDwELL over PHELPS, and the
Republicans are confident that PHELPS
will poll more votes than BIDwELL.
Had the election taken place two weeks
ago, BIDwELL would have come out
second in the race and PHELPS third,
but reaction in favor of PHELPS is
noticeable all over the county and if
it continues until election day our
opinion is that PHELPS will lead BID
WELL by one or two hundred votes.
For Congress this county will proba-
bly, give WIGGINToN from six to eight
hundred majority. The action of the
Republicans on Congressman has
caused great dissatisfaction among the
Independents. General HOWARD and
Colonel WARNER both of whom were
candidate before the Independent
Congressional convention have taken
the stump against Judge THOMPSON,
their successful competitor, and avow-
ed themselves supporters of HoUGH-
TON. This is attributed to Republican
influence and has caused many Inde-
pendents who knowing that their can
didates had no prospect of election in
tended to support HoUGHToN, to avow
their determination to support Mr..
WIGGINToN. The attack of two lead
ing Independents-two defeated cam

A Desperate Cause.

The weakness Of HoUGHTON's cause
is evidenced by arguments advanced
in favor of his reelection, by that gift
ed exponent of Radicalism, Governor
WOODS. The latter gentleman in his
address here on Saturday night urged
in concluding "that HOUGHToN should
be supported "beeause of his thorough
knowledge of Congressional rules and
would make an active member from
the day he took his seat" 1t may
with equal consistency be said that
Lord BACON should have been spared;
that his offences should have been
forgotte n-overlooked by the English
government because he was an able
Judge. 1t may as we'll be argued that
the defaulter, MILLER should be re-
instated by the Western Develop
ment company, Notwithstanding his
enormous defalcations, because he was
an able Secretary and had a keen eye
for business. What matters it to the
people of this Congressional district,
how well H6UGHToN is posted in the
workings of Congressional machinery
if he does not apply that knowledge
to their benefits. What difference does
it make to them how we'll he knows
the ropes if he uses that knowledge
against them and their interests? He
does seem to have been we'll enough
acquainted with tricks and lodges to
come very near stealing a march on
the people of this county, which
would have deprived them of direct
railroad communication with San
Francisco and sent the Southern Pa
cific sixty miles East of this city.
When Congressman is untrue to his
constituents; when he refuses to rep
resent their honest sentiments; the
better acquainted he is with the rou-
tine of Congressional business, the
more dangerous he is. The more in
fence bad man has in a Legislative
body by reason of his power to Inaug-
urate new measures, set in motion
new ideas, through his superior knowl-
edge of Parliamentary rules, the more
evil he can accomplish. Mr.. HoUGH-
TON was false to us during his last term
in Congress; he was false to humanity
when, with an insignificant Republi-
can minority he advocated the Amend
ments to the Civil Rights Bill. He
was false to this nation when he
was an inflationist; when he became
a salary grabber and when he sup
ported the Administration in all its
schemes to oppress the South and keep
alive the old war spirit in the breasts
ofthe American people. By his record
he stands convicted; by his record
shall the people of this district judge
of his capability to represent them.
The evidence is all in; the jury will re-
turn its verdict on the 1st of Septem-
ber, and as that jury is an intelligent
one, composed of men alive to their
own interests and the interests of this
entire district, we have no fears as to
what the verdict will be.
