Current Political Notes.

The facts of the situation and the
duty of the Los Angeles county
Democracy are we'll reflected in the
following, which we take from
Saturdays DoWney Courier:
The Republican party, no matter
what may be said to the contrary,
we believe to be almost a unit In
support of the State ticket. But
few of the regular line will be
found straying from the party fold
when the decisive moment arrives.
Every Republican looks to the frn
ture of his party-to the demoraliz-
ing effect q defeat would, at this
time, have upon the prospects OF
the party, especially in the Presi-
Dental campaign. Hence We say
we believe the Republican party
will be almost unit in the strug-
gle for supremacy in this State in
September next. The Constitu-
tional ism will not have the effect
of dividing the Republican party to
any extent. The party is bound to
poll almost its entire strength.
How suggestive is this to the DEM
ocratic party. Does it not demon
strate the necessity of also solidly
uniting, ignoring all isms, to battle
successfully with the old foe of
Democracy? We urge upon DEM
ocrats to initiate the example of
Republicans. Let nothing distract
or deter them from clingiDg to the
grand old party whose existence is
coeval with the life of the Repub-
lie. Democrats who are disposed
to falter in allegiance to their
party should lay we'll to heart the
lessons of experience and act ac-
cordingly. If the Republicans sue
ceed in carrying the State in Sep
tember, it is morally certain that
they will carry it for their Presi-
Dental candidate in 1880 The
prestige of q victory will now be q
weighty factor in the Presidential
cam paign. A victorious party at.
tracts followers, which a defeated
party never does. Democrats, every
man who claims to be such, should
vote the straight ticket of his
party.
The following, from the last
number of the Outlook, of the same
place, shows that the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor is
highly popular In that stronghold
of Democracy:
In the course of very interest.
ing speech made last Saturday
night by the eiitor of the Los An.
geies HERALD, he took occasion tc
partially endorse DIR. Glenn as the
Democratic nominee for Governor.
He said that the Doctor is nice
gentleman, Democrat, ETC., and
then added that he accepted him as
he did crow. He could eat crow, bul
he didn't like it. The Democrats In
this section, most of whom voted
for the new Constitution, diffel
with the editor of the HERALD
They take DR.. Glenn as "quail or
toast.u They like him immensely
The Outlook adheres to its pro
gramme, which cannot be too high
ly commended, of fair play t.
candidates of whatever party. l
pertinently says:
Last week we took occasion t.
say that both Glenn and Perkin.
are gentlemen of character anC
ability; and further said that we
would not join in the too frequen
custom of besmirching a man be
cause he is q political opponent
We stick tn these propositions. Blu
we shall support Glenn oecause b.
is a Democrat and 3 New Consti
tuition man; and we shsii Oppose
Perkins because ne Is Republican
and voted against the new Consti
tuition. Il this don't sasisfy the po
litical fri nds Of the GlNtlook We car
