Oh, my lovei through lonely ears.
Dark with pain, and dim with tears,
Dearer will the memory grow,

Kiss me, love, and so from fate
Wiring one hour, exultant, great:

Kiss me, love! for. ah, how fleet

Pressed against thy beating heart,
Feeling all thou canst, and art!
Years I'd give, prolonged and slow,
Years Of pilgrim pain and woe;
Years of life, could years restore

Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-12-04

The HERALD yesterday said that it
knew little about Mr.. w. R. Steven
son, the Democratic candidate for
Assessor, and it went on to say that
it had no doubt that inquiry would
develop the fact that the Democratic
Convention showed the same wisdom
in his selection that it had displayed
in the case of the other nominees, OF
whose qualifications we were person
ally we'll advised. Inquiry develops
the fact that Mr.. Stevenson is a young
gentleman who has resided for four
teen years in Los Angeles, and that
he is hard-working and intelligent
in every way worthy OF
the trust for which he has been desig-
mated. He has solid reputation for
worth in this community which will
be very valuable to him at the polls.
Sickness in his family will prevent
his making the diligent canvass for
the office which some of his associ-
ates are making, but the public will
make allowance for this disability
arising from no fault of his.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-12-04

In the local columns OF the HERALD
to-day appears the first installment
OF series of articles which will show
very clearly the nature OF the Repuo-
lican conspiracy at the late election
to disfranchise Democratic votes. The
cry of fraud is no after election de-
vice. The Democratic County Com
mittee we're we'll advised that helm
GUS frauds were in course OF prepara-
ton in Los Angeles which would
shame even the devices of the Louis
lana manipulators in the Presidential
contest of 1876. The Chairman of the
Democratic County Central Commit
tee, Mr.. 1. w. Hellman, assisted by
Hon. s. M. White, Hon. r. f. Del
Vale and Major Burke, attempted
to arrest the frauds while in process
of accomplishment, but Intellectually.
They fell just where they were ex-
pected, and we are happy to assure
their perpetrators that, as respects a
member of the Congress of the United
States, at least, they will prove to be
imperative. This is California, in
the year of grace 1886, and not Louis
lana, in that year of more than me-
dieval darkness, 1876. We risk moth
ing in the assertion that a Democratic
House of Representatives will not
lend itself to the enormity of denying
to the people their chosen representa-
tive. No SNUG Republican Court
House cabal can defeat the will oi
the masses. In to-morrow's HERALI
will appear a second chapter OF this
nefarious conspiracy against the voter,
| in which the sensational features will
far exceed those developed in oui
issue of to-day.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-12-04

No man, in all the boundaries OF
Los Angeles, who respects the honest
right of suffrage, ought to vote for
Oscar Macy for Treasurer, or for any
thing. If republican-democratic gov
ernment is not a farce, the citizen
ought to have right to cast his vote
with reasonable convenience and
with a reasonable certainty that 1t
should be registered. Oscar Macy
deliberately entered into consplra-
cy to disfranchise fully two hundred
and fifty voters OF the White House
precinct in the interest OF the Re-
publican party, and he succeeded
Vote against such a man, who stabs
our free institutions, whether you be

GREAT attention should be paid to
the selection of Councilmen in the
several wards. 1t is impossible to
exaggerate the importance of provid-
ing this city with an honest and COM
petent local legislature. Another
point should not be neglected, and
that is the equalizing OF the scheme
of improvements for the city. In
this connection it is well to remark
that that portion OF the Fourth ward
in which Judge Beck, one OF the
Democratic nominees for the Council,
lives, has been almost totally over
looked in the disbursements of the
city's moneys for public improve
ments. This circumstance alone
ought to secure to S. j. Beck an over
whelming vote. He is a gentleman
specially we'll qualified for the trust
He is honest, able and sober, thus
fulfilling the Jeffersonian trinity OF
qualifications for the Office. He has
large real estate interests in the
ward, fact which is of itself a guar
antee that he will take conscien-
tious interest in our municipal affairs.
Judge Beck has had in his past career
considerable familiarity with public
trusts. As he is gentleman of ex-
ceptional intelligence and capacity he
ought to be generally supported for
the onerous trust which has attached
to it no remuneration and great deal
of responsibility and labor.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-12-04

We regret that DR.. French has not
accepted our proposition to secure
the support of the HERALD for Mayor,
conditioned upon his spelling three
out Of five simple English words, the
trial to take place in public. A cal
low morning journal accuses us of in
dulging in personalities because we
make this really generous proposal.
Under the circumstances we exper-
ience an augmentation of generosity.
The Mayor of Los Angeles is not ex-
pected to be pundit, but he ought
to have some oblique acquaintance
with "larnin'." Moved by our con-
temporary's agony we will modify our
original proposition, and we will agree
to vote for and support French for
Mayor if, on private seance at
tended by one Democrat and one Re-
who shall name third, he
succeeds, in two efforts, in spelling
one simple and much-used English
word we shall PROFOUND to him, he
to choose his authority. There now !

THE DEmOCRATIC MUNICIPAL
TICKET.
Our Next Mayor.

We have never seen the issue OF
any municipal contest so clearly dis
closed as in the present case. Work
man is so plainly and indisputably IN
the lead that, in the language OF the
turf, ECLIPSE is first and the rest no.
where" The result thus SO satisfac-
torily outlined is simply a testimonial
to long and sustained worth. Work
man has been in truth one OF the
builders of the city. No one who
crosses the river, and notes the mag
icsl growth Of Brooklyn and Boyle
Heights, can find it in his heart to
withhold a tribute OF admiration to
the dauntless perseverance and pluck
of the Democratic candidate for May
or. He was far-seeing and sagacious.
While Of course favoring his own in
terests, he has at the same time
created resources for the city govern
ment already large and increasing
rapidly for the future. In addition, he
has been public spirited citizen, al
WAYS alive to the well-being OF the
community in which he lives. In the
creation of the charming and popular
region known as Boyle Heights he
has made a monument for himself,
which will endure for ages after he
has mouldered into the dust. Com
pared with his adversary, he is
very Hyperion to that gentleman's
Satyr. While member OF the City
Council he gave abundant evidences
of his talents and aptitudes as man
Of affairs. There is quite universal
sentiment in this community that
Mr.. Workman ought to receive hisre
ward for his long and cordial advoca-
CIV of the best interests Of the city in
which he lives. As to French, what
can be said ? He simply appears as
: time-server who, after having
fought high license, submitted to it,
and one who now claims that he
wanted the license increased over
the figure which he fought. As be-
tween a man of square opinions and
practices, like Workman, and a tenn
porizer, like French, the voter will
not be long in making his choice.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-12-04

THERE ought to be no difficulty in
electing Mr.. Joseph Hyans to the
Council in the Fourth ward. While
it is true that this gentleman is COM
paratively a newcomer, he has nev-
ertheless shown his great regard for
Los Angeles by investing heavily in
real estate, both in the city and coun-
ty. He comes from the most pro-
gressive region of the American con-
tinent, Kansas City, Missouri. Mr..
Hyans, in addition to being good
Missouri Democrat, is live citizen, a
gentleman responsive to the age, and
every whit man fit to be Council

THE course of the Los Angeles
Times, in the contest between Mr..
Lynch and General Vandever, was
brutal, sneaking and recklessly false:
It is hard to believe that rivalry could
induce an editor to loose all decency,
all sense of justice, all regard for
truth, all respect for appearances yet
in this instance, it has had just that
effect upon the editor OF the Times,
who, throughout the campaign was
blind to everything, but his serpen-
tine hatred of the fellow editor, who
had distanced him, professionally

Our esteemed San Bernardino con-
Temporary is agitated about matter
which is Of very trifing consequence.
It is true that the journal named was
very much wrought up during the
late campaign, and that it thought it
was doing power of harm to the
Democratic candidate for Congress.
That individual, however, remember
ed the old story of the husband who
had the scolding wife. When re-
monstrated with as to his hard lot he
replied, "Well, it don't do me any
harm and seems to do the old lady a
heap of good" This scolding jour-
nal announced that Vandever would
carry Los Angeles county by 2500 ma
jority. As a result that gentle
man was in minority, and his plu-
raIity on the face of the returns in
this county over his Democratic OPP
ponent was only 2S3. TIE mighty
efforts of this snide sheet resulted fin
