LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

LUUAl lMIELLlGkMGE.
Important to Republicans.
EDS. REcoRD-UNToN; Paragraph i of
Article of the Constitution of the State of
California reads as follows: Senators
shall be chosen for the term of four years,
at the same time and places as Members of
the Assembly, and no person shall be a
member of the Senate or Assembly who
has not been citizen and inhabitant of the
State three years and of the district for
which he shall be chosen one year, next
before his clectionn This year the election of
Assemblymen is to be held November 4th,
and In accordance with said provision of
the Constitution it is absolutely necessary
that every nominee for the office of Assem-
blyman, to qualify and hold the Office, if
elected. must have been q citizen and in
habitant of the district he seeks to repre-
sent one year next before his election.
Frank d. Ryan, Republican nominee for
the Assembly in the Eighteenth District, will
not have been a citizen and inhabitant
of said district one year next before the
date Of election. He did not move into the
district until the latter part of November,
1888, which would make him short of the
required time three weeks or more. His
election would simply result in causing a
new election to be held for Assemblyman
in that district In no event could the per-
son receiving the next highest vote be
seated. OF course, if Ryan's political
friends should be in the majority i'll the
next Assembly they might wrongfully seat
him. We cannot afford TO take any such
chances. Would it not be better for Mr..
Ryan TO withdraw from the ticket as a
candidate because of his disqualification,
and allow some person to be elected about
whose right to be seated no doubt can be
raised ! write this not because of any
opposition to Mr.. Ryan, but because of a
desire to have no mistakes made that can
be avoided for the benefit of our party.
