Profound DIstrust of The Democracy.

THE history of the Democratic party has
produced profound dstrust throughout the
country. 1t has done nothing since the war
to recover the confidence of the country
which it then SO blindly lost The Rcpub-
lcan party has made very great mistakes,
both in regard to measures and to men, but
there is undoubtedly very general ana
profound feeling that, upon the whole, it is
more representative of the political prinCi-
pies and general character to which the
government of country ought to be
entrusted than is the Democratic party.

Some Political Points.
Turning from literature, to politics the
independent leader, who has been in the
heat of the fight among the Republican
factions for years expressed some views
which are suggestive and new. Thcir prin-
cipal value comes from the fact that they
may be safely assumed to represent the atti-
tude of the independent element within and
without the Republican party, an element
which, as now organized, claims to hold the
balance of power in this State, while the
State will probably decide the Presidency.
Of the general outlook, as between factions
and parties he said "The first thing that
strikes one in the political situation is the
relaxed power of party, or, in the more
familiar phrase of the day the independence
of parties The air is in motion and there is
a disturbance in the atmosphere"
And you were one of the principle dis

did my share. Parties are in a peculiar
position Just now. There are no issues; the
parties do not represent ideas they have
no proposed,policies and they try unsuCcess-
full to cling to old traditions For instance,
the tariff Is always matter of great i'm
porance in this country and the magnitude
of the whole system of taxation can scarcely
be overestimated. Reforms of methods of
administration, city, State and national are
also a crying need. There are to-day no
questions superior to these, but party lines
cannot be drawn on them, and instead of
i dividing Republicans from Democrats, they
divide each party within itself. There are
Democratic Protectionists, while the party
policy has always been Free Trade, and
there are Republican Revenue Reformers.
If the Democrats lay down Free Trade
platform, they will split the party. Under
such circumstances the independent men,
bers of the parties must decide any national
contest They have it in their power to do
so, especially in New York, where they arc
possibly strongest and where they have an
organization. Their votes will tic cast solely
on their estimate of the true tendencies OF
the two parties"

THE Mayor OF Atlanta, in II note to
Mr.. r. r. Darby. Of the Arrowhead
Hot Springs missive which we
publish elsewhere-disposes decisive
ly OF the charge that the rebel flag
was displayed in that city when it be-
came known that Cleveland had been
elected President of the United States.
The truth is that never since the war
have the people of the South shown
themselves so warm in their devotion
to the Union as since that event, and
very naturally 30, for il is proclama-
ton of the fact that sectional hate has
had its day and that all the citizens
of the United States, no matter where
they may live, or what may be their
color, may confidently hope to partici-
pate in the government of this broad
country. Instead of the Confederate
flag being run out on the capitol of
Georgia, the real spectacle presented
was that Of the Governor OF that State
wrapped in the Stars and Stripes and
giving vent to the Georgians' love for
the old flag. This is distinction with
a difference.

In ORDER to Introduce a little of the
burlesque into this short city cam.
paign a number Of disengaged quid
nunes are busily employed circulat-
ing the startling rumor that W. II.
O'Melveny, Esq, the Democratic
nominee for City Attorney, is young
and inexperienced lawyer. While the
confession must be made that Mr..
O'Melveny is young, he is only few
years behind his opponent ms to a
characteristic in which his compe.
tency will steadily increase, while he
has had twenty times the legal ex-
perience OF that gentleman. We
doubt il there is lawyer of his age
in the State who has had more prac-
tice in court, and that of a character
calculated to mature his intellect and
increase his stores Of legal knowledge,
than Mr.. 0'Melveny. In this respect
he simply distances Mckinley out Of
sight. and il is right that every voter
should bear this fact in mind when
making up his ballot.

REPUBLICAN stump speakers and
editors had no hesitation in inflam-
ing the minds of the more ignorant
amongst the colored people with the
notion that the restoration Of the
Democratic party to power meant the
reinstatement of the black race.
Fortunately the extreme circumspec-
ton and good nature of the Southern
whites have prevented any disastrous
outbreak on the part of the blacks,
and the latter are gradually being
brought to realize that there is no
cause for apprehension The very
night OF the election there would have
been an outbreak in Nashville if it
had not been for the extreme moder-
alton of the whites; and ii it had oc

nal will send reporter round to in

for the faith that is in him. This
constitutes a very serious Republican

The Times undertakes to pooh-pooh
the Just reflections of the HERALD as
to certain features of Mr.. Spence's
candidacy for Mayor. 1t confines its
observations to gas and water, and
denies that its candidate is concerned
in either. All the same we believe
that Mr.. Spence is pecuniarly inter
ested in both, as well as in the stock
of the Electric Light Company which
furnishes the public illumination for
the city of Los Angeles. He is confess
sedly the President of a National Bank
and of street railway company, which
latter will probably have occasion to
ask additional concessions from the
city. All these circumstances, with
all right thinking people, weaken Mr..
Spence's candidature and ought to
insure his defeat. While they in no
respect impugn his character for per-
sonal integrity or business response
bility they ought to debar him from
being our Mayor. Enough of the
voters of Los Angeles will doubtless
take this view OF the matter to retire
him to the private station.

An attempt has been made to create
the impression that Mayor Thorn is
responsible Tor the increase OF the tax
levy during the past year. As n mat
ter OF fact the Mayor has nothing to
do with this matter. 1t belongs alb
solutely to the Council, and the head
of the municipal government is not
consulted at any stage OF its progress,
nor does his veto power come into
play to modify or check it. The
HERALD has heretofore explained the
facts which necessarily involved a
large increase in the tax levy this
year. The floods which swept away
the bridges are responsible for part OF
it. The purchase OF the Feliz water
right-a bargain by which the city
gains an untold amount-explains
more OF it. Floods and demolished
bridges are by no means usual incl
dents OF our city OUTLAWS; and, in all
probability, decade will elapse be-
fore we shall again suffer seriously
from this cause. As to the Feliz
water right, that has been acquired
oral time to come. Hon. Cameron

ed with great care and, should they

TmR gentlemen who, following In
the wake Of Mr. Blaine, have tried 10
revive the bloody shirt, are not meet
ing with much success. Ex-United
States Senator Bruce, one Of the most
intelligent Of the colored men Of the
South, has repudiated the Plnmed
Knights manifesto in clear and for
chile fashion, as the following from
the New York Herald of the 22nd
inst. shows.
Blaine's charges OF intimidation
and violence at the polls" In the
Southern States, at the recent cleo
ton, says Mr.. Bruce, "are absolute
and unqualified falsehoods. J" 1.-THE
greatest harmony exists" in the South
"between the white and colored
races" The Augusta speech was
"demagogical in the extreme and
wholly unwarranted. II will be
"the cause Of great uneasiness and
mental distress among the colored
people Of the South" Mr.. Blaine has
'fomented a new antagonism, and
his speech "has lowered him more in
popular esteem than any act Of his
life" But Mr. Bruce believes that
fortunately" its evil effects on the
colored people twill be short-lived.
We print Mr.. Bruce's remarks In
full in special dispatch from Phila-
delphia. Now IL il in order for Blaine,
Gould, Field, Elkins, Dorsey, Dudley,
New, Clayton, Chafiee, Don Cam
eron, Barney Biglin, Evarts, Kellogg,

Bruce from the Republican party.

After these gentlemen have, pur-
suant to the suggestion Of our New

porary, the Los Angeles Times, to

special dndthemd mdrdnothd. That
would finish what might be left of
him.

Some peculiar turns occurred in the
case of Robert Ferguson, who had q
hearing before Judge w. F. Lee yes
terday. for assault and battery COM
mitted at the house of Mrs. Harvicker
last week. During the taking Of the
testimony for the prosecution, ]. f.
Canning demonstrated his c~uteness by
showing that he had taken a lively
hand in the disorderly proceedings.
Hls culpability in the matter was SO
great that the justice decided to mulct
him in the sum of ten dollars and costs.
This assessment was paid aud the bra
vado witness departed, a wiser but
poorer man.
Joseph Hoffman,, another witness,
also endeavored to show his dexterity
for evil-doing In connection with the
case. A complaint was made out
against him, but his hearing was post
poned until Thursday.
Ferguson, the original m~alefactor,
wa made to feel condign sorrow to the
extent Of ten dollars and costs for the
part he took in the disgraceful racket.

Numerous Attack,

Early on Sunday morning the finding
Of a man lying upon the sidewalk on
Sixteenth street just below Eddy, gave
rise to a report that a murder had been
committed. Upon examination, the
man was found to be a soldier and he
was insensible, with blood flowing from
several severe cuts upon his head. He
was removed to a place Of more com
fort and subsequently taken to the fort.
1t appears that he and a friend named
Ryan were walking along that locality
when they were suddenly attacked by
two men and evidently with murder
GUS intent. Owing to the s~uddenness
Of the attack both were knocked down,
although the soldier Jared worst.
Ryan ran across the street and after
ward returned TO find his companion in
sensible upon the pavement. Who the
as~sailants were or what Was their mo-
tive is q mystery, as they quickly disap-
peared. Although not serious, the
wounds OF the two men are painful
and will cause them much discomfort.
1t is to be hoped they may be ferreted
out and receive due pun ishment for
their assault.

liceman restore q cool million dollars
forcibly taken from him, and to sue the
city for another million dollars by way
Of damages for the great wrong done
him through the cruel conversion of
his ponderous pile of ready cash and the

to-day afternoon to go on an excursion,
the time and place to be selected by the
legislature.
The members Of both branches OF the
legislature met, therefore, in caucus
yesterday afternoon after the session,
and proceeded to consider the invitation
which had been extended to them.
Messrs. Babbitt, Homer and Quinn
were appointed on the part of the coun.
ell to confer with q committee from the
house. consisting of Messrs. Miller,
Teschemacher and Jones, as to what
should be done in the matter.
The joint committe met last evening,
and decided to accept the Invitation,
and determined upon Salt Lake as the
objective point. The committee will
make its report to the two houses this
morning.
