WHILE, to our infinite diegust,
Southern California and, more par
ticularly, Los Angeles county,
seem to be torpid and half dead go.
litically, In the State at large the
Democratic National canvass is in
q splendid plight. There is in CAL
ifornia every condition which pre-
sages Democratic triumph.
While We have nc hope of Oregon,
the candidacy of Col. Jim Fair, as
the Democratic nominee for United
States Senator, seems to assure
all the conditions which, with Re-
publican men, measures and meth
obs, augurs success in the
Silver State. Why should
they not have d similar eignifi.
canoe with Democrats. We are
thus confronted, on the Pacific
Coast, with a marked difference
from the incidents of the campaign
of 1876. In that year the electoral
votes of Nevada, California and
Oregon - twelve in all were
made to count for Hayes.
Ii we can secure nine
of these electoral votes wei
have, at stroke, difference
of twenty-one, and the Republican
party can stand no deductions.
Pursuing the inquiry, we find a
Fusionist electoral ticket in Maine,
the elements composing which
elected Plaisted Governor. Should
the Republican party lose the sew
en- votes Of the Pine Tree State,
that means another reduction
which makes their case hopeless,
and another fractional increase
which makes the Democratic cause
bright. Fellow Democrats, and
men Of every party who believe
an inspection of the national
ledgers, from disinterested point
Of view, to be good thing, we ad-
wise you to watch and walt. They
laugh best who laugh last.

NOTWITHSTANDING the fam
boyant character of the Associated
Press dispatches. we need hardly
remind the intelligent reader that,
when the Republican party begins
to count its gains by precincts, Its
plight is not reassuring one. We
have heard much of this talk about
Indiana precincts, and about gains
In them, but we have not been told
where these precincts are located,
nor their total number in that
State. For all we know, as far as
the kilograms have gone, Republic.
can precincts have been massed
and Democratic precincts have
bsen ignored. The point Of GER
tainty, of which even the Asso.
cIated Press can't deprive US, is
the arrival of the Eastern mails.

Acc oRDING TO Gov. Woods the
Democrats are all rebels and rebel
sympathizers. The war is still
raging with great ferocity in his
Imagination, and the Zisca skin Of
sectional hate must be beaten like
q very drumhead. No Democrat
contributed in any degree what.
ever to the preservation of the
Union. AS soon as o man declines
to bow his knee to the behests Of
the Republican party, though his
body has been riddled by bullets
and though, like Hancock, he has
fallen from his horse in the very
instant of victory, he is no better
than o traitor and a secessionist.
In view of the fact that Abraham
Lincoln, in 1860, received 1866. 1923
votes, and that there were enlisted
in the Union army 2.67S, 967 volun-
teers, we would like to know where
the 812. 945 In excess of Llncoln's
vote came from. The difficulty of
the problem is intensified by the
fact that there were few Republic
can voters who did not volunteer,
amongst the rest such men as Jim
Blaine, who sent Democratic sub.
stitute. The fact is, Gov. Woods
to the contrary and notwithstand-
ing, the Republican party "bossed''
the commissary and quartermas.
ter's departments of the war and
the Democrats attended to the
fighting. The stealipgs and pick
ings had far more interest for such
patriots and carpet knights as Gov.
Woods than attached to that smell
Of villainous saltpetre which made
1t uncomfortable to be at the front.

WHEN q blatant demagogu like
Ex-Governor Woods makes his

to acquit himself of that old, old

Ohio, it should be remembered, the

The Presidential party left Port
Townsend yesterday morning at 10
o'clock and passed out into the
Fuca Straits, where the swell of the
ocean was quite severe. Several of
the party were porarily seasick,
making great sport for the more
fortunate ones. Utsalady Campo
leland was soon reached, where the
steamer tied up for the night. The
welcome of the people was pleas
ant surprise, no intimation having
been given that the President
would visit them. Mrs. Hayes soon
had the cabin full of children, to
whom she distributed apples and
dainties. All the party walked on
shore, where q squalid company of
Indians were camped. Here they
had an opportunity OF seeing the
noble red man In his most DEGRADE
ed state. The boat started at seven
O'Clock, passing through Agate
Pass and reaching Tacoma at one
O'Clock. Salutes were fired as the
boat approached the dock, which
was crowded with people, and
about one hundred school children,
bearing flowers aud moving arches.
The former were stationed SO as to
form passageway, through which
the psrty marched, the President
and Mrs. Hayes shaking hands
with each little one. A public re-
ception followed at the residence of
General Sprague, where the usual
speeches We're made by the Presi-
dent, Secretary Ramsey and Gen.
eral Sherman. The party left by
special train for Kslama at five
o'clock.
