Our esteemed contemporary, the
Ecening Express, is right in saying that
the principal reliance of the HERALD in
defeating Dunsmoor for County Clerk is
upon his record as a disfranchiser o.
voters. Our contemporary has much to
say about the decision of a certain Con-
gressional contest. AS to that it is enough
to say that it has been decided to the
mutual satisfaction of both parties.
That does not change the fact, however,
that if the 1874 voters whom Dunsmoor
refused to place upon the Great Register
had actually rendered their votes the
contestant would have been seated by
about 139 plurality instead of Gen.
Vandever. The trick employed by the
County Clerk was a dirty but sue
cessful one. Our contemporary seems
to forget that other persons besides the
several candidates for Congress were
running that year. A Governor, Lieu
tenant Governor, half the State Sena-
tors, the whole Assembly, a full county
ticket, etc., etc., were on the boards.
Those hundred and ninety-four disfran-
chised voters might have determined the
election in the State of California, might
have determined the election OF the
whole county ticket, did, in fact, deter
mine the election of portion of it. This
County Clerk, with whom tergiversation
was fine art, after having solemnly
promised Lieut-G Governor White and 9TH
ers to put these names on the Great
Register, after it was too late for remedy,
at the last moment, left them off on a
mere bubble. He did this in spite
OF his having agreed to Mr.. Whites cor
rect rendering of the law that he (Mr.
Dunsmoor) was q purely ministerial
officer, that the Deputy County Assessors
were de facto officials, and that as re-
spects the innocent voter they should be
accepted. In that interview, and in his
conduct throughout the whole transac-
ton, Mr.. Dunsmoor was guilty of deeep-
ton and treachery of heinous dye. He
based his action upon the mere inform
ality of the Deputy Assessors not having
filed their oaths of Office, and not upon
lack of the right to vote debarring these
applicants from the franchise. If
he had had spark of apprecia-
tion of his true responsibility he
would have told the deputies that
they ought to have filed their oaths.
When asked on the stand whether he
would have SO told them if they had
been Republican deputies, he answered,
81 probably should"
Here was the case of man entrusted
with high official function deliberately
abusing it, to deprive 1874 OF his fellow
citizens of the right to vote, and deliber-
ately paltering with Lieutenant Governor
White and other distinguished Demo-
Gratis, in order to throw them off their
guard.
Voters of Los Angeles! Do you like a
man Of truth and directness-one who
would scorn to disfranchise fellow citi-
zen? Then vote for H. S. Parcels
for County Clerk. If he finds that
man is in danger of losing his vote he
will tell him so, instead of trying to rob
him of his distinctive privilege of an
American citizen. On the other hand, if
you would like to vote for shuffling
trickster who would throttle the right OF
suffrage, stick to Charley Dunsmoor and
enable him to bloom forth as fully
nourished parasite of the Tite Barnacle
order,

A Curiou. Phase of the CampaigI

One of the idiosyncracies of the current
Presidential campaign is the extraordi-
nary number of drummers that keep up
a perpetual calling on Gen. Harrison at
his home in Indianapolis. Since the
opening of the campaign he appears to
have been surrounded by drummers.
There were drummers to the right Of
him, drummers to the left OF him, drum
mers before and drummers behind him.
They have supported him on both flanks,
buttressed him from the rear and OBJ
structed the view of his six-by-nine
statesmanlike countenance. The AS
sociated Press told US one day that three
thousand drummers pumped down on
him in body and treated him to the
pumphandle act for hours. He was
gracious to these drummers and turned
on them the flow OF his sapona-
cious eloquence. His platitudes were
neither stinted at that nor
any subsequent time. His abund-
ant words trickled from his lips like
treacle, and the way picanninny down
South CLUES his mouth to the bung of a
molasses barrel is the only parallel to
the manner in which the drummers
clung to the feeble but honeyed oratory
OF the grandson of his grandfather.
There are not wanting irreverent Demo-
Gratis who think that the Associated Press
humorists are getting their work in On
Benjamin in the drummer business. As
a class, drummers are up to snuff, and
have no hankering after being talked to
death. The rapidity and portentous
numbers with which they materialize are
only equaled by their Patience sitting on
monument smiling at grief style of sub
mitting to being bored to death. Then,
when the drummers fall short, and even
drummers are not ubiquitous, thousands
of other. Hoosiers are trotted up
every day to look at the little
great man. A gentleman from Indiana
let us into the secret of this last phase
of the comedy. Nineteen railroads cen.
ter in Indianapolis, and they are just
now vieing with each other in getting up
two-bit excursions from interior points to
the capital. Just now, also, the State
Fair is being held there, and the two
attractions, sight of the man who is
going to be beaten out of sight by Cleve.
land, together with peep at the State
cattle show-impulses of curiosity both
are too much for the average Hoosier.
Next to shaking hands with man who
is President, or who is going to be Presi.
dent, comes pumphandling with an in
dividual who is about to be disastrously
beaten for President. The only thing
we stick at is the drummer feature of the
racket. We don't believe that men who
enjoy and tell good stories, and who have
a mortal aversion to chestnuts except
when they have been well roasted in
the pan, could stand much of the pecul.
lar eloquence of the prosy Republican
candidate.

TIE great superiority OF the Demo-
cratic local ticket has been very thor
oughly appreciated by the voters of this
county, irrespective OF party. This dis
parity in favor OF the Democratic NOM
inees extends from the judicial ticket,
where it is perhaps most conspicuous,
down through the entire list. The last
success of the Republican party in Los
Angeles county gave us Mason for
County Assessor, who made that portion
of our taxes which goes up to Sacra-
mento and stays there unendurably
high. If his Democratic opponent, Bill
derrain, had been elected in his stead
we should have been able to keep three
or four hundred thousand dollars in Los
Angeles county which now more 90 TO Sac
ramento to stay there forever. Two of
the Democratic nominees, the Messrs
Rowan and Venable, present membe
OF the Democratic Board of Supervisors,
succeeded, through the aid Of the Los
Angeles Democratic member of the State
Board of Equalization, by sacrificing
their personal business and going in per-
son to Sacramento, in getting a rebate of
ten per cent. in Mason's unconscionable
assessment. This community is playing
with edged tools in electing Republican
officials. Nearly every time it is done
somebody gets hurt. On the principle
that the burnt child breads the fire, we
shall have no more OF this folly. AS the
Democratic nominees tower above their
opponents like veritable Sauls, as they
are all tried and true men, who are not
given to playing fantastic fiscal pranks,
their chances of being elected are more
than good, especially when we bear in
mind the fact that the voice of the Pro-
hihitionist is heard in the land OF this
tenor is the information which reaches
us from all portions of Los Angeles
county.

Miss Rose Woods dramatic company,

on Sunday night at the Academy of
Music, well sustains the favorable recon-

play selected last night was The Red

ample opportunities to display their,

impression on the audience was evident
by the frequent applause, much of which
was also given to the scenic effects. The
same play will be given tonight and to-
morrow THE Galley SLAVE will take the

Margaret Sullivan, widow of David
Wright, died of paralysis June %,
aged 20. At the funeral her six mar
ried daughters followed her remains
from the church to the grave; in no
single instance in the past so years can
the writer recall similar occurrence.
She was the mother of I3 children,
seven sons and six daughters, all of
whom lived to maturity except son
that died at Ill. Three sons are now
living of whom two are in distant
states one was present at the funeral.
Her husband and three oldest sons
served in the Union army through
most of the war her third son, Henry
Clay, was killed at the battle of the
Wilderness after two and one-half
years faithful service in the 9th Yer
mont, aged 90; for this she received a
we'll deserved pension which was
good support in her declining years.
Another son, Robert H., while serving
as fireman on a railroad train in
Athens, Ohio, in 1874, was terribly
hurt in a railroad disaster and died
eight hours after, aged d. Mrs.
Wright has been a resident of Ryegate
for over so years, for a time mem Der

Democratic Inconsistency.

A good illustration of democratic in
consistency and also of how little party
platforms signify to the average poll
tician is found in the solid democratic
vote in the house Monday against the
reduction of the duty on sugar to Al
per cent. When the sugar clause in
the Mills bill was reached the republi-
cans endeavOred to reduce the tariff to
Al per cent, or One-half the present
rate but the democrats voted solidly
against this and in favor of the rate
provided in the Mills bill-65 per cent
Here are the democrats crying for
reduction of taxes on articles cOnsum-
ed by the poor man but declining to
vote for such reduction when the chief
industry of one of the Southern states
which they count on in November is
touched. The republicans scored one
good point Monday against their oppo-
nentS.

II love Thy church o Lord,
For her my tears shall fall,
For her my prayers ascend;
To her my cares and tolls be given,
Till tolls and cares shall end"

But his interest in this church was
something more than desire that it
might be solemnly and forever cOnse-
Grated as an institution to the service
of worship and duty, he had genuine
and sympathetic interest in all who
made this place their home. With a
deep friendship for all that was fine
and thoughtful, he joined another and
deeper sympathy for all that was hui
man. He wished this church to be a
spiritual democracy in which the sense
of equality, not that of distinctions,
should be exalted. All the cheap and
selfish methods by which men secure
popular applause for themselves or
church, were to him abhOrrent, but it
gave to him high and holy pleasure
when poverty, the ranks of those who
served, students, those who were rich
in mental or spiritual power, hearts
bleeding in the memory of shame, all {,
forgot in this house of God the Father
of all, that they were unlike, and sat
together abOut the table of the one
the children of men. The church, if il
is true to the spirit of its Leader can
never announce itself as the place of
assembly for any class high or low, it's
eyes must be closed to the artificial
and transient separations of society,
its invitations must be to all the peO-
pie, announcing the gospel of the peO-
ple's Lord. The memory of him whom
we love now commands as to make
this church clearly and religiously a
church for all that is human, in which
loyalty to Christ shall be proclaimed
by the spirit of fraternity for all who
shall desire to enter this home or find
here a fountain from which to satisfy
the deepest thirst of the soul for truth
and comfort.
l have asked many to give me some
word that should be just to their
thought of his place in this church
community. None say, he was the
patron, benefactor, the leading man,
or the authority. Our just and gra-
