WHEAT, CASH PRICES.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-05-07

THERE are class of people who
seem to think that Hayes is SO holy
that the truth even should be sup
pressed for his benefit. But there Is
subtle property in this power of
the moral world which the poet
has happily embodied:
"Truth, crushed TO earth, will rise again
The eternal years of God are hers"
The truth, like murder, will out,
and there is no human power po-
tent enough to handicap its eter-
nal elasticity. Among the affidavits
concerning the Florida frauds is
one made by o Republican ex.
Sheriff, Levy, in which he speaks
of plot to burn the State Capitol
of Florida, which was not carried
out because it was thought that the
Democrats had certified copies oil
all the returns. We understood the
full infamy of the Florida business
when the telegraph brought the in.
teiligence that United States troops
were en- route to that State. What
an anomaly the last Presidential
election was? The CLEAN of the
bayonet was rivaled by the phos.
phorescent glare of fraud!
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-05-07

ow Of q great crime has impended
over the country and paralyzed en-
terprise and production. We may
be sure of one thing, and that Is
that while the Presidential ques.
ton may never be re-opsned, on
the merits, its re.openiDg, and the
adjustment of the dispute in &C.
cordance with the demands Of
equity and the sovereign will Of the
American people, as expressed both
in the Electoral Colleges and by an
overwhelming majority of the pop
ular vote, could work no possible
damage to the business interests Ell
the country. 1t might, on the othel
hand, revive them, acting as
moral stimulus. The expulsion o.
any corruption from the body pol
itic, as we'll as from the human
body, could not fail to have whole
some effects.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-05-07

WE have every reason TO know
that the Democratic County Gen.
trail Committee, in striking a mas
culine and dignified attitude on the
Constitutional Convention ques-
ton, have commended themselves
to the esteem of the party. 1t
would be pitiful thing if, when
the whole horizon CLEANS with as
surances of Democratic victory on
a National scale, the banner Demo-
cratic county of California,
at the first summons to
surrender, should haul its
colors down from the mast
head and acknowledge that it has
no excuse for continued existence.
A defeat (Which, by the way, we
shall not encounter) would be
trivial to the infamy of such a sur
render. Amongst the amorphous
elements which may compose the
Convention it is a
good thing TO know that Los Ange-
les county at least will be repre-
scented by staunch Democrats, who
believe that their party, now as
has sound Constitu-
tional principles and that they
should be embodied in the organic
law of the State.

In order to make headwsy against the
common enemy, Disease, it is necessary
to oppose him with persistence. 1t very
frequently happens that O remedy per-
fectly adequate to the necessities of the
case, II persisted in, is condemned and
thrown aside because q few doses of 1t dc
not cure a malady. How unreasonable
and unjust would such a judgment be re.
garding Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. one
of the most popular and highly sane
toned medicines OF the day, potent in.
vigorant and an invariably successful
remedy for constipation, dyspepsia, liver
complaint, incipient rheumatism and
govt, inactivity and weakness of the kid
neys and bladder, and for the infirmaties
incident to the decline oflife. No fact is
better established than the above, yet in
order to experience its truth those al
fiicted with obstinate forms of disease
should give this benignant curative pa
tient trial. II they do, they may rely
upon decisive curative results.

THE present attitude of the Re-
publican party in Los Angeles
county is that of a "Connubiator."
1t claims no individuality and ad-
vances no pretense to the recogni-
ton of the voter. Having failed
in its efforts to ally itself with the
Democracy it is ready to fall back
upon the Workingmen's organiza-
ton. With the impulse of an old
maid of the wall.flower order, it
seeks marriage at any price. But
the Workingmen disdain the alli-
ance. They feel that there would
be contamination in contact with
the party of capital-with the party
that, in the short span of twenty
years, has created the tremendous
chasm which now yawns between
the poor man and the capitalist.
1t has pretended to see nothing but
evil in Democracy. Democracy,
until the other day, was the sum Of
all villainies to it. Yet, until the
manly attitude of the Democratic
County Committee, it looked long
ingly and lovingly upon us, ant
was ready to exclain, with tht
poet Moore,
81 know not, care not, if quilts in THY
heart,
1 but know that 1 love thee, whateve
thou art"
But the Democracy, with a fin
sense of propriety, has rejected 1T
overtures. We shall watch, will
a languid and plying interest, it
parasitic attempt to fasten itself OF
some other organization.
