have been in favor of placing a
Democratic State ticket in the
field, but those who stand at the
helm of our State organization
have otherwise decided and our
wish has only been realized as far
as local affairs are concerned. But
we, in common with other electors,
are extremely DESTROYS of seeing a
good State ticket in the field. 1t
must be non-partizan. This Is q
fixed fact. Then let our citizens
without delay, in mass meeting as

way, provide a mode for the selec.

WE have rarely had the oppor-
tunity of reading more menda.
cious dispatch than that sent to the
San Francisco Chronicle by the
Geographic agent of that paper in
this city with regard to the action
of the Democratic conference held
last Saturday. His endeavor to
create the impression that dis
sension exists amongst the
Democracy of Los Angeles county
is pitiful in the extreme, and
the attempt to deceive was appa-
rent in every line. Probably since
Los Angeles was county the
Democracy have never been so har-
monious and resolute as now. The
only essential to triumpha ant
election of its ticket is that good
men should be nominated. There
have been times in which discord
developed itself in the party ranks;
but, ever since q Democratic Pres
ident was counted out of the office
to which he was elected by the peo-
pie, Los Angeles Democrats have
settled down to an inf1exible deter
mination to adhere to their party
until it is successful not only in
electing but in inaugurating a
President.

DIR. NJ. S. JONES writes a COM
munication to the Santa Ana Times
complaining that the HERALD de-
clined to print letter addressed
by him to this paper in regard to
the method of the appointment of
successor to w. II. Spurgeon in
the Board of Supervisors. We did
decline to print DR.. Jones's COM
munication and did so because il
was full of caustic personal asper-
sions which, We will say right
here, will very rarely be admitted
to our columns. Without having
given the matter any special ex.
animation, we are rather inclined
to agree with the principle of DR..
Jones's communication. We are
in favor of doing everything Off
cial after the fullest publicity and
with the assent of the people to be
affected. If DR.. Jones cares to ad-
dress any communication to US in
which he confines himself to the
argument on any given proposition
of public interest, and leaves Out
personally offensive illusions
which we would not make without
the fullest individual cognizance OF
their justice, and might not make
then, he will always be certain of a
respectful hearing in the HERALD.
If not, not.

Los ANGELES to-day, both as
city and county, is just upon the
turn. In the first place, both are
still in their infancy. The city OF
to-day was, six years ago, an old
'dobie town. The county which,
to-day, rejoices in such multiple
ity of productions, was, six years
ago, mainly a sheep and cattle
range. The three years last past,
bad years in acknowledgements char
acterized by the failure of the Tenn
pie & Workman Bank, by the small
pox and the drouth-caught us in
our transition era. We had been,
up to year or so ago, frontier
trading town. The advent of rail-
ways modified all the conditions of
our commercial existence. We
have started In now on the expert
m ent of modern town. We have
an extensive country tributary to
US and trade will grow up, in time.
But the things certain to come to
pass are O new, varied and remu-
nerative agriculture within the
city limits of Los Angeles as we'll
as in the very extensive boundaries
of Los Angeles county, the making
of rare wines, the steady growth
of considerable trade which will
range over a section as large as the
State of Pennsylvania, and the
flocking to this section, on sanitary
grounds, of thousands of people of
wealth who, with mild climate,
can live and take care of their
health and still be useful citizens.
These things are just as certain to
happen as the night is to succeed
the day, and their happening will
bring in its train series of remu-
n erative results which will leave
Los Angeles large city at some
not very remote day.

rae situatien Improving for the
Democrats.

It Is somewhat singular but true
that the towns which are being
carried by the Workingmen's party
are in every case Republican. An
other lesson which we draw from
the elections which have SO far
taken place is that the chances OF
the Workingmen's success have
been largely increased by fusion
between the Democrats and Repub-
Leans. The political situation has
been greatly altered during the past
two or three weeks. For while
1t looked as if the Workingmen's
party had quite as good a show as
either of the old parties in the elec.
ton of delegates to the Constitu-
tional Convention. But this was
all on the surface. Discerning men
who had watched the progress oil
the movement were certain that
fatal discussions would spring up
long before the day Of election.
Their expectations have been more
than fulfilled. The animosities
which have been developed between
Kearney and Wellock, on the one
side, and Rooney and Knight on
the other, give promise of a fury
which is certain to wreck the
party In that city and dissipate its
strength. A house divided against
itself cannot stand. If the Work.
ingmen of San Francisco had beer
prepared to vote as an unit they
would have had an excellent chance
not only of electiug the members
of the Constitutional Convention
allotted to San Francisco, but o
helping their scattered brethren
throughout the State to elect the
delegates at large. AS the cas-,
stands now, there will not only bt
Democratic and Republican candi
dates in the field, but TIVE
sets of Workingmen's nominees
The whole situation is there
fore highly favorable to the return
ing of a majority of Democrats t.
: the Convention. The present ex
cellent Constitution of Californi;
was made by the Democratic par
ty and they will doubtless acqui
themselves creditably of the tasl
of making the necessary modifi
cations. Republicans, not Demo
Gratis, are the voters who are likel,
to disregard the claims of party
this year. Discussion of the issue
Of the day will disclose the fact tt
the Republican Workingman tina
his party has been at all times til,
champion and apologist of CAPT
tai and the originator of all tn
colossal schemes of plumber who's
shameless carrying out has led u
often to ask whether we really liv'
under Republican form of gov
eminent. The same discussion
will outline in more pronounced
relief the fact that the Democratic
party has always thrown down the
gauge of battle in behalf of the
class who earn their bread in thu
sweat of their brows.

Delegates at Large.

Less attention is being paid to
the election of delegates at large to
the Constitutional Convention than
the circumstances warrant. The
people of California are called upon
to choose thirty-two delegates at
large to that Convention. These de-
egates must be apportioned equally
as to residence among the four
Congressional Districts though all
must be subject to the vote of the
whole State. Manifestly, the only
means of placing O ticket for dele
gates at large in the field is through
the fundamentally of State Con-
yention. The Democratic and Re-
publican State Central Committees
have declined to call partizan Con-
ventions and the Democratic Com
mittee has recommended that a
non-partizan nominating Conven-
ton be held at Sacramento on the
22d inst.
Our Democratic County Central
Committee, being anxious to ascer.
tain whether its political superiors
intended taking further action, cor.
responded with that body and yes
terday received u reply to the effect
that no additional steps would be
taken; that it was expected that
there would be as many Republic
cans as Democrats in the Conven.
ton of the 22d and that that Con-
vention is intended to be non-par-
tlzan and is not called in the inter-
est of any political organization.
Such seems to be the position of
affairs and it is evident that our
County Committee has no power
to appoint or to provide for the APP
pointment of delegates to the last
named convention. Therefore,
when the Democratic Committee
meets next Saturday, it will
be unable 10 move in the
premises. Shouldi it attempt to ap.
point, or should the approaching
county Convention attempt to APP
point, the six delegates to the Sac
ramento Convention to which we
are entitled, such appointees would
be usurpers, and being the repre-
sentatives Of party organization,
they would fail to obtain recogni-
tion from the body in whose DELHI
erations they desired to participate.
What are we going to do about it?
L. 1t the wish of the people of this
county to let the nomination and
election Of delegates at large go by |
default? II not 1t will be necessary
Daily Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1876-1884, 1878-05-10

WE regret the posture in which
the recent action of the Democratic
State Central Committee has left
the party. They have called nom
partizan State Convention; and,
owing to this fact, the success of
the nominees of that body will
have to be predicated upon their
moral character alone. The Con-
vention itself will lack authority,
and 1t will be fatal error not to
secure for its nominees O claim to
the consideration of voters on per-
sonal grounds. We think our own
County Committee have shown far
more wisdom than the State Cen
trail Committee, but we must take
matters as we find them.
