CreBap's Candidacy.

WHENEVER the Democrats in this
county have chance to elect a man
to some Office within the county, it
seems that something always hap
pens to mar their chances.
This year, an excellent show pre-
scented itself for our patty to elect a
man to the Office Of Prosecuting At
torney, but before any course of ac-
tion could be marked out by the
party, Gus CREsAP, a man who has
heretofore been a Democrat, an
nounced publicly his intention to
canvass for that position.
de claims a large Republican sup.
port, we learn. but ali ;he votes he
will get from that party can be
counted upon the fingers Of one
hand. Il is au advantage to the Re-
publican party TO have him 10 the
race, and the consequence is, when
ne asks Republican for his support.
he moet always is answered in the
ehrmative. directly or indirectly.
Gus, we are cory 10 learn. has been
duped By the deceptiveness OF the
Radicals, and is foolish enough 10
claim large Republican following.
And right here let us cay that we
have no personal feelings Of animos-
ity' spite, or hatred against Mr..
CREsAP. Ga the other hand we
have always been on the best OF
terms socially. But we must spsak
plain to the Democrats Of the county,
and we therefore say that CREsAP il
not qualified to fiji the position Of
Prosecuting Attorney, and conse-
quentIy, The Democrats cannot at

Santa Catalina Island.

The Gazetfe learns from good authority
that SANTA Catalina Island will be pro.
hibited to campers this summer, on the
plea that heretofore considerable dam
age has resulted from carelessness with
fire. The resort has been steadily
growing in favor, and many people will
road this paragraph with chagrin and
disappointment.
The island belongs to the Lick estate
and the trustees Of the property offer it
for sale for 500. 200. A project is now
being pushed which gives promise Of re.
sulting in the purchase of the island,
anc its Transformation into resort ex-
clusively for the use Of the purchasers
Il 10 proposed to form joint stock com
pany with capital of 500, 900 in shares
Of . value Of $1,000 each. One half the
capital stock will buy the island, and
with the other half club house and ad.
juncts can be built and the island
stocked with game, so that il
will be transformed into a
vast shooting ground. There is moth.
ing chime erical in the project. The mac
feasibility Of the island. which is the
chief objection, would doubtless be in a
great measure overcome by having
swift and handsome steam launch ply
between San Pedro and the island. It
said that sixty shares have already
beeu subscribed for by gentlemen living
In San Francisco, and ii such is the case
there is little doubt but that the project
will be contaminated.
