We have had orders for several
thousand tickets. Candidates send in
your orders and don't wait until elect
ion time. We print them on good pa
per, and cheap. The gentlemen who
have given us their orders, will please
accept our kind acknowledgements.
These arc the kind of men to have in
the race. Two candidates have not
given their names to the MESSENGER.
Unlike the other gentlemen that are
out, they surely can't be very sanguine
of success. Perhaps one or both Of
them have stinted pocket books. Ours
is the same way and we want your five

might supply another table giving

Of real estate during the eighteen
months ending June Both, 1883, but
we prefer, in sooth, to dwell upon the
productive rather than upon the in
vestment movement. In a few days
we shall issue an illustrated edition Of
this paper, which will bring the his
tory of production down TO the pres
ent date. 1t will show the same graf
flying ratio Of increase, as will also
the figures which will record the I'M
exampled activity in real estate.
This IL the second time we have
published these figures in our daily,
and upon both occasions we have
done 40 in order TO correct n gross
misapprehension as to the status Of
California. The southern portion OF
the State was neglected for years.
The groesest ignorance, in particular,
has prevailed with regard 10 Los An
geles county It is now being disco,-
cred that we have here rainfall quite
equal to that Of the Sacramento val
ley, while we do not need over sixty
per cent. as much, owing 10 the spon-
taneity Of our sun and soil. Southern
California, beginning the movement
only the other day, is destined before
another decade has run its course to
be the most heavily populated section
Of the State. Ten years from to-day
Los Angeles county will contain three
hundred thousand and the city will
contain seventy-five thousand people.
We hope that our ordinarily intelli-
gent contemporary will take heed of
these things accomplished and to be
accomplished.

The Result I'm n Nutshell.

AS we write the Republicans APP
pear TO have carried Ohio by about
1900 majority. They have elected
ten out Of twenty-one members Of the
House of Representatives, leaving
one in doubt. The present delegation
from Ohio stands fourteen Democrats
and seven Republicans. This is
Republican gain Of three. We have
unquestionably sustained this loss in
Congressman owing to the entirely
unnecessary antics of the free-trade
element OF our party. The result is
reverse but II il not decisive one.
While the nearly thirteen thousand
majority of IIoadly last year has been
transmitted into Republican majority
of IL, 900, there is nothing about these
figures that need discourage any one.
There is about them nothing emphatic
or decisive. They represent all that
the money, the brains and the prac-
tised leadership OF the Republican
party could accomplish in one of its
old time, traditional strongholds.
The fact must be borne in mind that
Ohio has never gone Democratic
in Presidential year since the
Republican party was organized.
Intelligently considered, Democrats
have reason to accept with solid salts
faction this verdict Of the people of
the Buckeye State. With Blaine him
self ON the field and directing matters,
when the past political history of Ohio
il borne in mind, the result must
prove disappointing to the more
sagacious Of his supporters. They
counted confidently ON 10000 and
they hoped for &c, 900 majority. While
il is true that Mr.. Blaine himself put
the expected Republican majority at
10000, this was done for effect. What
he and his friends hoped for was
something like the majoritics outlined
in the first telegraphic bulletins.
West Virginia proves TO have stood
staunchly Democratic. 1t must not
be forgotten that tremendous effort
was made to wrest this State from the
Democratic column. Mr.. Blaine's
next friend, Mr.. Stephen b. Elkins,
with plethoric sack, spent months
in this commonwealth, or within easy
reach OF il at Deer Park, Maryland.
Mr.. Blaine himself tried his boosted
magnetism ON the Pan Handle folks.
The result is substantial Democratic
triumph.
As the returns now read the Dutch
have conquered Holland. As was
seen by all intelligent observers from
the start the real battle grounds are
New York and Indiana. No Demo-
crat has any reason to distrust the re-
suit in those pivotal commonwealth.
From the very initial of this cam
paign the HERALD has insisted that
the true policy is to concede dyed-in-
the-wool Republican States like Ohio
to Blaine. With the same insistence
we claim that such radically Demo-
cratic States as New York and Indi-
ana should be set over into the Demo-
cratic column, with the inevitable
result of the election of Cleveland and
uendrickS

THE returns from Ohio received up
to this writing 90 P. NJ are emin-
emily satisfactory to Republicans.
They show that we have carried the
State by a majority ranging between
$1,000 and 10000 on the State ticket.
Compared with the October election
of 1880, when the leading man on the
Republican ticket received majority
of 1900, as well as compared with
the average October Republican ma
jority in tho last seven Presidential
years, which has been 10000, the re-
suit of Yesterdays voting, therefore,
shows that the Buckeye State is main
tanning her prestige most nobly.-
Los angeles Times.
In view of the revised returns il
might be just as well for our esteemed
contemporary to draw in its horns a
trifie. 1t has attempted to do polit-
ical banking business on very small
capital. Instead of 10000 the latest
reports bring the OHIO plurality down
to IL, 900.

~ Sohh
The San Francisco News-Letter OF
October 18th, contained the following
melancholy estimate of the condition
of matters and things in the Golden
State.
California is not, at present, the
most flourishing State in the Union,
Owing to the completion Of the N. T..
X. r., and other causes, San Fran
cisco has lost, probably never to re-
gain, $50, OOO, 900 in the way Of trade.
The majority of her citizens are grow
ing poorer day by day, and money is
being centralized in the hands of a
few metallic accidents. These par
ties, who nine times out of ten made
their money through lack of brains,
are unapproachable when it comes to
question of obtaining capital to
back up promising enterprise that
would benefit the State ut large.
Their chief glory seems TO be in
boarding up their gold in vaults and
gloating ever il with miser's pride.
An intelligent man who invites their
cooperation, will, in the first place,
be driven to desperation in trying TO
force into the numbsculls the general
features Of his proposition. II he
stands the strain, which will proba-
bly, last for six or eight months, and
succeeds in conveying his idea, the
return proposition TO gobble him up
body and soul at an interest of 100 per
cent. per month, pay monthly or
compounded, will drive him away in
disgust to the liberal-minded business
men of the East, who are only too
glad to give him assistance.
The difficulty with our contempor-
ary, as with 30 many newspapers and
business men in San Francisco is that,
TO their purblind vision, the region
around the Bay is the State of Cali
fornia. 1t is unquestionably true that
just now there is great deal of de-
preston in the metropolis of Califor-
MIA, and for the reasons very clearly
and cleverly stated in the Ners-L Letter.
When it comes to that portion Of the
State, however, known as Southern
California, there is not only no de-
preston but there has been during
three years the most remarkable de-
velopment ever recorded in similar
region on the face of the earth; and 1,
of this sensational development our
own city and county are the
leading factors, For instance, the
Great Register, which is now
in the hands of the printer,wi con-
tain thirteen thousand names. AL
lowing for two thousand voters who
are either not eligible for registry or
who have neglected to register, and
we have fifteen thousand people in
this county who are entitled to vote.
Multiplied by five-the usually ac-
cepted ratio-we are justified in claim
ing a population of seventy-five thou
sand souls in a region which, in the
census Of 1880, only reported some
$4,000 souls. The growth in the city
OF Los Angeles has been even more
rapid, for the eleven thousand three
hundred souls OF the last census have
been swollen to fully $4,000.
We have not only seen this marked
increase in population but We have
kept pace with it in production. Thus
the ILLUSTRATED HERALD was able to
present the following extraordinary
exhibit in its edition of 1880:

THROUGH A SEA OF FIRE.
The Awful Trip Of A Railroad
Train Near Bradford.
Men, Women and Children Jumping
From the eWindows-Threo Lives
Lost and Many Persons IuJ JuTod
by Burning Oil.

SMITHPORT, Jan. 1S.-A terrible ac-
cident occurred OH the narroW-guage
railroad connecting this place with
Bradford this morning. Along the
line of the road are scattered numer-
Gus oil-wells and oil-tanks. About
three miles this side of Bradford on the
upper side of the tank, stands large
tank owned by the Anchor Oil Com
pany. 1t was full of oil, and, having
partiallyburst, the escaping fluid ran
down in small river, covering the
trackfOr about 100 yards.
When the morning train going into
Bradford came along the gas arising
from the oil came in contact with the
fire box caused an explosion and set
fire to the lake of oil through which
the train was ploughing Its way. The
revolution Of the wheels threw the
burning oil over he cars, and in mo-
ment they were enYeloped in flames and
suffocating smoke. There was but one
passenger car attached to the train con
tanning about forty persons. The ter
rlble heat disabled the engineer and fire
man and they lost control of he train,
which rushed down the grade, Il whirl-
ing mass Of fire, until it jumped the
track.
The passenger coach was bottom
side upwards when it was found. In
the meantime the passengers were ter
Tor stricken, their only ayeuue of es-
cape being to jump from the windows.
Three ladies who failed to escape were
burned to death. Twenty-Five or thirty
are seriously burned and otherwise in
iured, many of them fatally.
