Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-10-08

The Tribune yesterday is as unfor-
tunate as it was the day before. Its
attack on the Democracy for alienat-
ing the public lands was bad enough
but when it attacks that party in the
past for doing away with the National
Bank OF Biddle and his cOnfreres, it
commits still more egregious blum
der. 1t is again leagues away from
sound sense when it finds fault with
the Democracy of to-day because it
has changed its policy from that OF
thirty years ago, to suit the new ele-
ments of national life. The Tribune,
like all its kind, is living in the past,
has its home in grave. We are not.
The Democracy is living in the new
sunlight OF to-day. 1t is dealing with
the issues of to-day. Protection for
fruits, wines, brandies and wool !;
harbor improvements for our coast !;
silver as currency; irrigation laws;
the payment of the public debt; a
navy for war, and a merchant marine
for peace; the right OF the laborer to
organize for his own benefit; the
right of a man to drink what he likes
best; the right of foreign born citi-
zen to enjoy all the laws of our COM
mon country, are the issues we are
contending for just now. We had
almost forgotten the Republican
alienation Of lands, and tue ancient
Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-10-08
infamy Of the Biddle Bank until the
Tribune kindly called these facts up.
Iouv = Sw,rr will not be the next


JOHN F. SwIrr will not be the next
Governor OF the State. ThatN is 8
propositiontwhich each day hecomes
more evident. The. party organs all
over the State are either lukewafm,
or opposed to him outright. Wher-
ever he goes in his pilgrimage OF
the State, his presence and his utter
ances fail most signally to awaken
any enthusiastic response in the
hearts of the people. He hangs out
in his iaded, anxious face the flag OF
defeat. In his broken voice, devoid
of hope, OF courage, OF fire even to
fight bravely in the last ditch, he
sounds, the call of retreat to his own
party. In San Francisco all signs
point TO the most meagre Republican
vote next Novemb ber. All their own
party papers deliberately confess that
the Legislative ticket nominated by
the party beggars description in the
matter OF unfitness in all qualiica'
tions that should go to make Legis'
lator. The registration, so far, IN
that city is most pitiable affair in
its smallness. The regular nominee
for Mayor, withdraws "on account oil
his personal friendship for the Re-
publican on the Citizens ticket V
Well Garratt is, like Swift, a "Dolly
Warden" an Independent. Why
should he not bolt his own candidacy
as he has time and again bolted that
OF better men. He is consistent, to
say the least.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-10-08

There must be good reason for the
coldness and disaffection in the par
ty. There are many reasons for this
anagonism to Mr.. Swift. In the first
place, there is not one good reason
why any man should cast a vote vote
for Swift, in preference to Bartlett.
There is not even the party reason
that he is Republican; for that he
is not. So long as the party is for
Swift, he is for the party. Whenever
a party convention has preferred an
other, Swift has been true to himself,
and has set up his own party. He
has more than once gone out OF the
convention where he had been can
didate, and bolted his successful
rival. Then he has none of the ele-
ments to draw men to him personally.
A man who comes before his fellow
citizens, and asks them to make him
Governor OF great State, should
have some other personal qualitica-
tions than that he is "smart law
yer" Swift is not a great lawyer.
Any claim beyond the fact that he is
smart lawyer could not be set up on
his behalf. Devoid of generosity, OF
patriotism, of fidelity to the ties of
friendship, OF large public spirit
which would lead him to champion
the peoples cause-devoid OF every
single element OF popularity or patri-
otism, what wonder that he evokes
no enthusiasm.

But there are other reasons, and OF
more important nature, to account
for the fiat failure OF the Swift cam
paign. If one were disposed to GO
into his social life, there is no
probability that there could be un-
earthed single feck upon his name.
Pure, clean, respectable, even above
the average, he seems to be. Were
it otherwise we would not be disposed
to make point on it. Other candi-
dates on the ticket are not so forum
ate; but so far the Democratic
press OF the State has left the
unsavory Job of digging into social
dunghills, severely to the press OF
the Republican party. 1t is our
opinion that the people at large are
not greatly influenced in the casting
of their votes by such issues. All
the masses seem to care to know of a
mans character when he appears for
public Office. is as to his general hab.
its of sobr.ety, his ability, his fidel-
ity to trusts, and his honesty as to
financial transactions. A man who
can stand such test is not unfit for
office.
