Levfsse TwaGdle.

Every one remembers, during
the tendency of the Returning
Board swindle, how John Sher-
man, at present Hayes's Secretary
OF the Treasury, was telegraphing
from New Orlesns all over the
country the "raw head and bloody
bones" story of Eliza Pink.ton.
That imaginative negress told how
the Ku Klux chopped her up with
axes, exploded cannon in her left
ear; and, after dragging her thirty
or forty miles, left her alive be-
cause they could not stamp the life
out of her. At the time we dis
counted the story just ninety-nine
and three-quarters per cent. and,
when it came out that Eliza Pinks.
ton was a notorious courtezap, and
she confessed just how much she
was paid to tell that story, we were
not bit surprised. We had sat
waiting it until the denouement
came. Much such a story as that
of Eliza Pinkston is the yarn told
by "Judge" Levisse, one of the
Louisiana fraudulent electors. The
Judge was evidently fishing around
to get couple of hundred thousand
dollars from Mr.. Tlden's friends
for betraying the men who fraudu-
lently counted him (Levisse) into
the office OF elector for the State of
Louisiana. 1t is certain that he
found nobody ready with the "di-
nero" He 1ourishes the names of
two fellows named Martinez and
Asher in this connection. These
worlhies were evidently "chin-
ming" the expectant Levisse. The
probability is that they were treat
ing themselves to huge clark u
at the Judges expense, and en-
deavoring to see how far he could
be gulled. If Mr.. Tilden had been
declared elected, and had been
found to bs elected through the
vote of this Levisse, this twaddle
might have some relevancy. AS
this was not the case, it has abso-
lutely none.

New SOunGings

A reorganization of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee is
not only inevitable but necessary.
Admitting that the Democratic
party would have been defeated in
the election of delegates to the
Constitutional Convention. What
Of it? We wouldn't give scrap
Of soiled paper for party that
could not endure defeat with per-
fectself-possession. In advocating
the Democratic party we have no
affection for the never varying
Medes and Persian style Of thing.
We desire the Christening of defeat
at regular intervals. We wish to
see our party put on its good be-
havior by the ceaseless monitions
of the people. Readers of the
HERALD will bear us witness that
we have stood by with no white
washing in discussing the lament
able laches of the last Legislature.
Success to Us is nothing, principle
IL everything. If Henry Clay in
the Adams, Jackson and Crawford
election for the Presidency in 1924
had stuck by his later declaration
that he would "rather be right than
be President" he would have been
President of the United States for
two terms-the extreme limit as to
which any American should seek i.
personal honor other than the un-
bought tribute which adheres to a
patriot in the retirement of the pri-
vate station. All parties have "of"
years. We know of no possible
year in which the Democratic
party could better have afforded to
be "off" in California than in the
present year of grace. But, easily
as we could have borne
defeat, We think that an
energetic Democratic cam
paign, with ringing Demo.
cratic platform and wholesome
Democratic nominations, would
havs guaranteed US victory-sig.
nal victory. The leaders have
failed us but the masses are faith
full. The banner Democratic coun-
ty-Los Angeles-will, on the 10th
inst, by the completeness of its
victory and the honest manliness
OF its response, show our leaders
what a mistake they made.

Los ANGELES, city and county,
has reached a breathing spell in
which she needs to look into the
ledger. From this time forward
we should aim to make our exports
exceed our imports. Tho illustri-
Gus Micawber has furnish ed n rule
which not only gauges The pros
perity of individuals but commu-
mites as well. Our income should
exceed our outgo. No spot of
earth, under a proper system, is
better adapted to securing this re-
suit than Los Angeles county. We
must throw off our coats and ap-
ply ourselves to that work of pro.
duction to which the universality
of our staples and the richness of
our soil invite us.

Tho Real need.

Our Republican friends still ex-
blblt good deal of uneasiness as
to the Potter Investigating Com.
mittss. They are long time
coming to realization of the fact
that the United States really need
- be saved from the Vaccinations
Of the Republican leaders. There
q only one logical demand of our
politics, and that is that the Re-
publican party should be put out of
power. Whenever political or
ganization arrives at the pass
reached by the advocates of the
right divine Of kings-that it can
do no wrong-it needs a tolerably
long extruslon from power-proba-
bly, . disbandment would be the
bsst thing that could happen for

thing for the United States to have
It understood that Gen. Grant is
the enly man who can save the
country, and that the Republican
party Is the only proper sponsor
for General Grant. We may be
mistaken, but we think that the
American people have hardly yet
reached the lowest stratum of
dsbased imperialism. The Potter
Committee, there is every indlca-
tion, will do one thing which we
should like to zee, on abstract
principles, left undone; that is,

cials of the Administration have
been engaged in detestable in

lions made; it is humiliating; it
almost saps one's confidence in
Republican institutions; but it is
far better that, being the truth, the
facts should comeout. The calcium
light Of revelation leaves the
American people but one alterna-
tive, and that is to turn the Re-
publican party out of power for a
season-perhaps forever. 1t is just
possible that the crime of its lie adj
ers may prove to be so great as to
make the extinction of the Repub-
lican party necessity of our con-
tinued existence as Republic.

Col. Ayers, of the San jose nom

vention. To the qualification OF
being an accomplished journalist
Col. Ayers adds the training of a
lawyer and the experience of 8
Pioneer. Col. Ayers is billed for a
lecture on "Pioneer Times" to-
night, at the Hall of the Society.
Our own people have heard this
lecture and their appreciation was
most fiattering. That the San
Francisco public will be equally
gratified we have no doubt. Speak
ing Of it the Alta says:
We are pleased to announce that
Colonel ]. J. Ayers, of the Los An
gsles Express, will deliver his lee
ture on "Pioneer TImes,u at the
Hall of the Society of Pioneers,
next Tuesday night. The lecture
will be free, and the Colonel hopes
to entertain the auditors for an
hour with a graphic picture of our
Stale at that interesting period

cellaneous thousands who fiocked
to 1t from all parts of the world.
He will delineate the character of
the pioneer as itreally was, and not
as the distorted thing q class of
successful writer's have tried to
make it. We feel sure that those
who attend will not only recognize
the truthfulness of the Coloneps
description, but thank him for a
rare literary treat.
The San Francisco Examiner,
though Democratic authority, has
the following pleasant things to say
Of Col. Ayers:
Among the candidates for al
large delegates 10 the Constitu-
tIonal Convention, nominated in
the Fourth Congressional District,
are James j. Ayers, of Los Ange-
les, aud Byron Waters, of San Ber-
nardino. OF the last named gentle

tries, the requirements of the State.
No man is more truly devoted to
the cause of labor, or more firm
and consistent in opposition to the
aggressions of monopolists. His
great popularity In his own county
is demonstration of his standing as
u citizen, and wherever known he
commands respect for his integrity
and solid worth. And because we
personally know him to be we'll
qualified for the place, we heartily
endorse him as candidate for the
Convention, as delegate at large,
and hope that he will be elected.
The foregoing pleasant notes are
reinforced by the Ventura Signal,
which says:
The nominations made at San
Jose are, in the main, good and ac-
ceptable. The nomination of Mr..
J. J. Ayers, of Los Angeles, was
made by acclamation, and we hope
he will get every vote in Los An
geles county. Ho is worthy of
confidence and will fill the place
to which he will undoubtedly be
elected with credit to himself and
to the people.

A Chronicle Lie Nailed.
VIRGINIA, New, June 10.--The
Euening Chronicle of to-day has
the following: In yesterdays num-
Der of the San Francisco Chronicle
appears what purports to be let
ter from Virginia City, dated June
7th-last Friday in which the
writer asserts, not as matter of
opinion or runor, but as fact,
that the Ophir winze from the 1900
to the 1000 foot level had been sunk
vertically only 45 feet; that at this
depth it had struck an ore vein
which was only four feet wide and
had thence been sunk at an incline
following the vein; that Col. Fair,
with intent to deceive the public,
had given out the idea that the
winze was being continued verti-
cally and that it was in good ore,
so as to create the impression that
the ore body had widened consid-
erabIy, while in reality it was
pinching out. The best answer to
this tissue of falsehoods is simple
statement of facts:
First, the winze from the 1900.
foot level of the Ophir mine was
started vertically and has been
continued vertically to the bot
tom.
Second, the winze struck ore at
the de pth of Is feet below the 1900.
foot level and it continued in ore
all the way to the 2,000-foot level
and below that point to the bot
tom.
Third, the bottom of the winze
is in good ore and there is good ore
on every side.
Fourth, the San Francisco Chron-
icle article is q tissue of falsehoods
from beginning to end.
