TnE very general approval expressed

manded some littlo sympathy for those
unforlunates brought forward for
slaughter by the Republican Convention
Of the week preceding. The impression

one endorsed as correct by many perspi-

The fact that Alexander Sullivan has
resigned the Presidency of the Irish Ma
tional League to stump the Eastern
States for Blaine of course shows that
there is a certain detection from the
Democratic party in the Irish vote.
That it is very limited, however. is
shown by the spontaneity and snthusi.

which earned for him the sobriQuet Of

The worlds Fair at New Orleans.

Despite the active and now thorough
ly aroused interest which is being dis.
played in the approaching Presidential
election, and the profound interest
which we have unswervingly felt, and as
uniformly displayed, in all that pertains
to the welfare or success of the Demo
cratic party. we continue to look upon
the advancement of the prosperity Of
Los Angeles county as one of the high.
est ends to which we can devote our
journalistic efforts. With that in view
it becomes us to call the earnest atten.
tion of our readers to the necessity for
more organized and intelligent efforts in
the matter of preparing creditable ex-
hibition for the coming Worlds Exposi-
tion to be held in New Orleans next
winter, commencing with December
10th. The preliminary work has Ger.
tainly been all that our county could
desire. With such man as Mr.. |. w.
Hellnan for Commissioner prestige is
given to our endeavors which cannot but
prove beneficial. Mr.. Hellman, how.
ever, cannot do anything useful to speak
OF unless his efforts are ably assisted by
those who take a genuine interest in
the development of this county. We
cannot, by any words, exaggerate the
importance OF the coming Worlds Fair.
Since the first great Exposition in Lon.
don, away back in the ifties, which was
fathered, if not inaugurated, by the
Prince Consort, these information.
al exhibits OF general industries
and national progress have shown
themselves as wonderful motors to the
prosperity, as well as general thrift of
the National or municipal bodies, under
whose auspices they are held. But,
more than all this, is the benefit which
comparatively new aud unknown sec.
tions Of country derive from this wide.
spread advertising. We are told that
Los Angeles county is probably the best
advertised section of the United States,
but this is no reason for the apathy
which so far has been displayed toward
accommodating a creditable exhibit for
the great exposition now in preparation
at New Orleans. As matter Of fact,
this will be the greatest of all such af.
fairs. 1t has been projected on a scale
OF unparalleled magnitcence and magni.
tude. Nothing that money can do TO
make 1t grand success will be left un.
done. At its head is a man who has
earned an almost national reputation for
astounding energy aud executive ability.

Col, Markham aud the Chinese.


Tho HERALD Of yesterday contained
card from Col. II. II. Markham, the Re
publican nominee for the Sixth Congress
sional district. in which that gentleman
positively denies that he had ever en-
ployed Cinnamon in his Oro Grande
mine, or had consented to their employ
ment. The issue is thus squarely raised
between Col. Markham and his former
partner, DIR. Cougar, between Col. Mark
ham and his former mining Superintend-
ent, Samuel James, and between Col.
Mark ham and his former teamsters, the
Messrs. Turner and Bristol. In the
HERALD of Sunday last we published the
letter of tho Messrs. Turner and James,
in which they said that Col. Mark ham,
in person, had met them on the road to
the mines and had directed them in per
son to take Cinnamon out to the Orc
Grande property. Our esteemed contem-
porary, the Times, undertook to throw a
slur upon this letter; and, in so many
words, il intimated that MIR. Turner had
been misrepresented, with oblique hints
Of forgery pointing at DIR. Cougar. Apro.
pos of this phase of the controversy, we
give below an affidavit in which MIR. A.
o. Bristol, the other party to the letter
which appeared in the HERALD, tells
what he knows about the matter. 1t
will be remembered that Mr. b. was one
of the parties who, in common with
Turner, was directed to bring out the
Mongolians. But here is the affidavit;
