EDITOR HERALD = The Republicans
had their first love feast Of the season
yesterday, and the exercises were char
actsrizsd by the usual unotion In such
cases made and provided.
A few very.greens. freshly arrived
from eastern pastures, aired their oratory
on the "First, Last and all the Time"
Instructions. but were squelched out by
the old veterans who see the folly and
imbecility Of such instructions.
It Is earnestly hoped that these new
self.appointsd orators will wait till they
are oAlled, before occupying the atten.
tion Of reporters and the business men
Of the county in convention assembled.
Some Of our Republican friends might
safely suggest that these unrscognized
Patrick Hsnrys should wait till they are
voters before they dictate to tho party
which has been In organized existence
for rs years In Los Angeles county.
The old veterans who have managed
the affairs Of their party with skill and
discretion for many years, looked alittls
nsttled at the especial energy and au.
dacity of the fresh importations who
came TO tho convention with their
pockets filed with resolutions and
speeches committed to memory.
Tho misosllansous business Of Tho
Convention was a. amusing Is circus.
The instructing Of delegates to State
Convention to vote for Blaine. 'tirst and
last and all the Time" was so ridiculous
that the old fathers Of the party smiled
with . strange surprise. Itsppears that
the very-grsens supposed they were send
Ing delegates to the Chicago Convention
instead Of to State Convention. Colonel
Hazard called attention to the folly of
being Handicapped ~ the California dele.
CATION was In 1880 by this same resolu.
tion, and the fresh importation
| with his tear. r.bedimmed resolution, sat
down and groansd deep, soundless and
solemn groan.
But they should not take these things
too much at heart. They can speak
again next Thursday or Friday evening
and relieve the surplus patriotism that
burns within their breasts. Colonel
Nudge, Of Compton, voiced the sentiment
Of the Convention when he declined,
after expressing the sentiment Of tho
Convention, to be bound hand and foot
and have no further voice in the matter.
Mr.. e. F. Spence, was of the same
mind and moved the following resolu-
Hons which were adopted
Reselued, That 1t Is tho sense Of this
Convention that the delegates represent
ing California In the National Rspub.
lican Convention at Chicago on June 8,
1884, should be untrammeled by positive
instrxetisns TO vote for any particular
candidate for the Presidency, but should
90 rather ~ free and independent men,
having the right to exercise their indi-
vidual Judgment in the selection Of such
candidate.
Rssolved, That James G. Blaine, Of
Maine, is the choice of the Convention
As the Republican candidate for the
Presidency. ~.
These resolutions were the unkindest
cut Of all, to the littlsskids and orators
Aforesaid, and they wspt deep and I'M
distinguIshable tears.
As this Is the nrst county political
convention Of the season, the line Of
action may have significance In future
conventions soon to take place. The
kids and tenderfoots seem to have an of
year in 1884. The Puritans that directed
the policy Of the party in 1880, have be-
come the victim Of mysterious dissp-
pearance. A search warrant has been
sent out for them but failed to capture
the missing goods. 1t is said that they
are secreted In the efics Of the Westerr
| Wave. Quisn sabe!
The result may be considered fail
average achievement and sst down or
the tsIderfoots, Of which the crop il
large. x.
