Results of the Election.

Mr.. Workman's majority for the
Mayoralty is a very handsome one,
being about round half thousand.
We regret very much to be obliged
to say that Mr.. Cohn is defeated for
Tax Collector. He is a most COM
petent man at such matters, and
could have rendered excellent service
to the city. In this regret there is
the consolation to know that the suc-
cessful Republican who wins the
prize is a most estimable gentleman,
and competent person for the duties
OF the place.
The vote for Treasurer is exceed
ingly close. By the face OF the re-
turns Mr.. Ballade seems to fall be-
hind in the sum of about ten votes.
There was some irregularity in the
polling place OF the Courthouse pre-
cinct. The two tallies marked a dis
crepancy, and it might be well for
Mr.. Ballade to demand that the votes
be recounted under a rigid supervis-
ion. The ballots are said to have
been scattered and smeared with ink
in row that took place during the
progress OF the count.

Fine Corn.

Mr.. J. H. Martin, of Los Nietos, eX-
hibited in the HERALD office some spe-
cimens of corn, besides large quantity
of English walnuts. The corn consisted
of three varieties, few ears of white
Sonora, fourteen inches long, containing
seven hundred and eishty-two
grains to the ear; also White Flint, thirt-
cen inches long, with seven hun
dred grains to the ear; Large Yellow,
with fourteen inches, with eight hun.
dred grains to the ear. Mr.. Martin
showed walnuts from eight-year-old
trees which measured eight inches
around. He received the first premium at
the Downey fair; also at the last county
fair held in this city. This corn and the
nuts were raised on Mr.. Martins own
place, one mile north of Fulton Wells,
and shows the good quality of the land
in this section. To any one that will
visit it Mr.. Martin will do the honors SO
that he may see for himself one of the
garden spots of Southern California.
Plenty of good land and abundance OF
water and the best OF climate.

More Rui,dfng Movements.

Mr.. R. B. Young is erecting large
building on the corner of Sixth and
Fort streets for James B. Lankershim. 1t
is leased for three years by M. Robbins
for a tirst.class boarding house. The
rooms are in suites, with large CRATES,
wooden mantels, mirrors, etc., for each
suite. ALI the rooms will be highly dec
grated. The contract for decorating
will be one thousand dollars. The house
contains twenty suites of rooms.
MIR. Young also let the contract for a
large addition to Mrs. A. l.. Lanker-
shlm's building on Spring street, to be
used as show room; the largest OF its
kind IN the city, containing 10, 900 square
feet, two stories high, with an elevator.
s&Mr. Young has received orders from
Mr.. James B. Lankershim to prepare
plans for twenty two-story cottages,
which he intends to sell on the Install
ment plan at cost. A rare chance to Sc
cure a nice home.

Mr. LYuch,S POpUlArltY.

Some comparisons having been in
troduced between the vote for MIR.
Lynch and some of his esteemed con-
freres on the ticket, although fully
aware of the quality attaching to all
comparisons, we are disposed to make
one or two for the benefit OF those
who do not see facts as they are.
Confessedly the place to test a
mans popularity is where he lives
and is best known. Making such a
test the good opinion in which Mr..
aynch's neighbors hold him, is a
thing to crafty any man. Here in
the city of Los Angeles, he ran side
by side with Hon. S. M. White, ac-
counted among the most phenomen-
ally popular men OF the town. An
other decidedly popular young man
on the Democratic ticket was John
T. Gafey. The candidate for
Governor is one of the most popular
men in the State. Now, taking the
vote for these four men, and it
stands for the city of Los Angeles:
Lynch 1928, Gaffey 2516, White 25OS,
Bartlett 1926. Gafey had the en-
dorsement OF one or two other nomi-
nations and got the benefit OF being
on their tickets. White, together
with all the rest of the county candi-
dates, had the aid OF the Labor tick
e., very strong pull. Yet in spite
of it all, Lynch was ahead of both.
In any political race in this commu-
nifty the man that keeps anywhere
near "Steve" White is not hated "by
large majority" nor is he hurt by
any malice that seeks his overthrow.

The lower house at the period re-
ferred to was almost all Republican.
He will not find the Democrats
so complacent about his filling
a seat which belongs to some
one else. The smooth, sanctimoni-
GUS and hypocritical old General will
not be able to "wrong Lynch" to any
great extent in the present year OF
grace when the Democratic House
needs every vote that justly belongs
to it. In 1861 the Republican House
had no such exigent circumstances
around it, but the General held the
fort by gross wrong. He will not
do it again. \ man who commits a
crime is very likely to try it again,
but he often fails in the second at
tempt, because the public are "on
to him."
Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-12-08

ELSEWHERE in the HERALD to-day
will be found spicy story OF how
Gen. Vandever held seat in Con-
gress from 1861 to 1868 by the gross

city, and said he would "worry Lynch

To be thoroughly honest, there are
three points on which we can see
some discomfort and criticism may
arise touching the views expressed
by the President. Two of these are
matters of somewhat local scope
the Chinese and silver. On the first
he is rather guarded to meet with
sympathetic response from the Pa
cifc coast. Still he manifests a de-
sire, and we think he means 1t, to
prevent their further introduction
to this country. On the silver
matter, if his suggestions were
fully carried out, so as to reach
the old Democratic method OF free
CO image, it is difficult to see why any
trouble should arise on that head.
The third OF these points is civil
ser vice. Like all sensible men OF
practical views who have come into
close quarters with this matter and
seen it's everyday workings, there is
littl doubt that it sits heavily on the
executive stomach. But Cleveland
finds the law on the statute books
and feels in duty bound to enforce 1t,
in the spirit OF its makers, if it ever
had any spirit in it other than the
purpose OF retaining the Republican
office-holders in the seats they had
occupied for a generation. There is
only one thoroughly Democratic
lode of procedure with this law, land
that is to sweep it into the limbo OF
things lost on earth at as early mo-
ment as can be.

The next matters OF prime import
ance taken up are the finances and
the tariff. These questions are treat
en- in a manner that certainly must
meet with the entire appreciation OF
all the people. The present sched-
ule of taxation is one based on the
exigencies and conditions incl
dent to the Civil war, and to
the enormous debt which bur-
dened the nation at its close.
There are at present no such neces-
sites for the raising OF colossal reve-
nues. The debt is as far reduced as
it can be at present, and the portion
remaining unpaid and unpayable is
provided for by the regular operation
of the sinking fund. When the next
section of the debt is redeemable in
1891 there will be abundance of
money to redeem the bonds. When
the last batch of bonds mature in
1907 the same provision will meet
that demand. As at present ar
ranged there is a surplus OF revenue
above natural expenses of nearly
500, 900, 900. This is a heavy bur-
den on the people, which should be
rem owed at the earliest possible op-
port unity. Yet in all tariff reform,
the rights and interests fostered un
der the present system, some of them
which are outgrowths OF its worst
features, demand careful attention.
A conservative tariff revision is the
policy of the President.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-12-08

Another popular strain struck in
this mastery paper is the rehabilita-
tion of the Navy and the defences of
the cities of the coast. The present
state of both is "a disgrace to a great
nation, and standing invitation to
every petty state on the globe to in
suit our flag. Chile has couple OF
rams which are so constructed and
SO armed that they could destroy
every city on the Pacific coast, and
there are no means provided afoat or
ashore to resist their attacks.

Tne Presidents Message.

A careful reading OF Mr.. Cleve-
land Is message cannot fail to impress
IN e mind of the impartial with its
general excellence. In many OF It's
features even prejudice will not De
a BILE to construe it otherwise thah
very favorably. 1t is one Oh Tue
ablest state papers spread before the
people for long time. 1t is not ohiy
q most comprehensive document pu.
it is as sound and able as 1t IS proad
in its grasp. There are lew Oh Tue
view 8 set forth that will not touch
warm chord of sympathy in the
Am erican heart. In dlctlon, s'yie
and method it is a complete answer
to those who, in their own ignorance
of the man, sneer at the President as
one who filed we'll the office OF sher-
;F of his county. The sneer is not
only unamerican to a lamentable oe-
gree, but it is unworthy any man pre-
sum ing to call himself an American.
The very cornerstone OF our ihstite.
tions is laid on the broad ,hrm grouha
of the political equality Of all men.
But, TO proceed with the message
It fir st deals with the matter OF our
foreign relations. This is treated IN
eatenso and with the utmost care.
The President discusses with the
br Dad, calm air of real statesman
the relations of the United States
with many nations. The most I'M
portant are those with Great Britain
on the fisheries; those with CHINA,
on the question Of restriction, and
those with Mexico arising out OF the
affairs of the crank, Cutting.
In discussing these, and all other
foreign relations, while Mr.. Cleve-
land studiously avoided all buncomb
stump style of discussion, and all
show of undignifed bluster, he holds
high aloft and with firm hand the
national flag as thing worthy OF the
hig hest respect among the peoples OF
the globe-a thing not only worthy
OF respect, but one which must be
accorded the very highest measure OF
respect. He points to American citi-
zenship as a privilege which will
guard sacred the possessor OF it IN
all parts OF the world. There is no
faltering nor cringing in any tone OF
tn ese utterauces in the ears OF
world assembled to hear what the
Great Republic OF the New World,
through the mouth OF her chief mag
istrate, has to say to kings, tzars and
emperors.
