The campaign closed to-day has been
marked by lack of personal abuse,
above any in the memory of any living
voter. In one instance in this county
there has been departure from this rule.
The friends of Mr.. Davis have gone out
of their way to vilify Mr.. Venable with
trumped up lies. The charges made
against Mr.. Venable should be lodged at
the door of the County Clerk and County
Auditor. Mr.. Venable cannot draw war
rants for any mans salary. When some
one suggested to Venable to carry the
war into Africa On Mr.. Davis and offered
to furnish material for the siege, Mr..
Venable, like the chivalrous gentlemen
he is, said "No! If cannot succeed on
my own merits, will not succeed on the
demerits of my opponent" Let no voter
be misled by any lying tales about Ven
able. He is among the best known men
of this section, and those who know him
honor him. Vote for him sure.

PHILADELPHIA, November A very
mysterious shooting affair which will in
all likelihood cause the death of Mrs.
Rettie Stockes, residing at No. 1919
Greenwich street, occurred tonight.
Early in the evening three shots were
heard in the house, and an officer, upon
investigation. found that Cuban named
Fred Raimos had shot Mrs. Stokes three
times, two ofthe bullets taking effect in her
face and the third one in one of her lungs.
The officer arrested Raimos, but only
succeeded in doing so after the prisoner
had fred a shot and had been clubbed
into insensibility. Both Mrs. Stokes
and Raimos were taken to the hospital
where the former is dying and the latter
either feigning or is actually unconscious.
Not the slightest clue as to the motive of
the crime can be learned, as the woman.
by reason Of the wounds in her face is
unable to talk, and the prisoner is like.
wise silent. Mrs. Stockes has seven
year-old child and lived with her hus-
band in the house where she received
her wounds. Her husband, who returned
to the house shortly after the affair, can
throw no light on it.

The Supreme Judges.

The Democracy of California has put
forward for Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of the State, Niles Searles, a Judge
ripe in the accumulated experience OF
years and in the fruits of profound re.
search in all legal lore during the create,
number OF these years. He has been
already we'll tried as a Judge, and be
wears his ermine spotless OF the least
blame. He is backed by nearly the
whole bar of the State, irrespective OF
politics and will be elected by an i'm
mense majority. With him on the Su-
preme bench will sit the magnificent
young judge, Jeremiah Sullivan. While
Judge Sullivan is comparatively young
man as mere years go, he is old in ex-
perience in the trying and responsible
position of Judge. He has served the
City and County of San Francisco with
singular ability and integrity. His
endorsement at the hands of the electors
OF this State will be phenomenal.
Vote. for them and thus defeat the
Vaccinations OF vile conspiracy backed
by ring of plutocrats who would elect
plant tools to do their will. Vote for the
friends Of the people, the incorruptible
champions cf the laws.

The County Judges.

Hons. H. K. S. O'Melveny, A. w.
Hutton and w. 7. Kendrick have been
named for the very responsible office OF
Superior Judges of this county. Judge
O'Melveny and Mr.. Kendrick will give
their opponents a hard race, from the
fact that their candidacy is endorsed by
the Prohibition movement. This would
naturally make them the benefciaries of
the large vote known to belong to
that rather narrow but very earnest
organization. Judge Hutton really
stands in the very first rank of the
Los Angeles bar. He has the support of
almost the entire bar of the county.
Such an endorsement is about the great
est honor that could be conferred on q
lawyer. 1t shows that Judge Hutton is
known in his learned profession as
thoroughly sound lawyer, and as not only
a fair, but as perfectly just Judge. With
such men on the bench, vice will hide
her head in fear and virtue will go abroad
safe in the darkness of midnight as in
the open day. Vote for them all!

Reel B. Terry, of Fresno, has in the
past few weeks become one OF the best
known figures in South California. He
has made his canvass from the north linn

furthest outpost south at San Diego. He
has made a rattling canvass, he has
filed up his meetings at the sew
eral points where he has touched
in delivering luminous and logical
speeches on the issues of the campaign.
All who hear him bear witness to his
force, ability, and to the urbanity of his
manners and the finish of his rhetoric.
In all parts of the district there is the
utmost conf dence awakened in Mr..
Terry's ability and integrity. He stands
before the electors of the district as
standard bearer in all respects worthy OF
the great party which has put him for.

No ONE who looked upon the throng-

Democratic procession in San Francisco
Friday night, who saw the splendors Of
spectacle never approached for scenic
completeness on the Pacific Coast, who
witnessed the streets filed chock-a-block
by applauding myriads for a distance OF
five miles, who heard the laundering ac-
claims Of the marchers and noted the
universal response from the on-lookers,
can doubt that San Francisco to-day v ill
roll up tremendous majority for Cleve-

merely reflects the sentiment of the

Mr.. Parcels has never failed in trust.
He is a Democrat, staunch and unswerv-

Parcels in Office their rights will be in

Reports reach this Office that at the
late Charter election in one precinct il

votes, being told at the polls that they
were not on the Great Register. This
was in spite of the fact that they had
previously voted at other elections since
the Great Register then in use had been

tactics may be attempted. All voters
should be sure to consult the
Great Register at the polls before going

because, we presume, he does not reside

a visit to this city. Reel has this advan-

Of this city, and will make a most
popular run for the Office to which he is
to be elected. His official term will be
marked by painstaking care and ener-
getic efforts for the benefit of his con-
stituents. In the Fourth District, J. w.
Venable has been renominated. No
official in this or any other county has
developed more interest or more intelli
gence in serving the people than Mr..
Venable has. He has never faltered in
his devotion to public interest, but has
performed all his duties no matter at
what cost to himself. His record is the
best argumentto put before the people,
and it will re-elect him.

men of his profession, and with the high
esteem of the judges before whom he
practices. Those who wish to see an
important office carefully, ably and con-

their Own Mistake.

LOCK HAVEN, Pa, November 5.-An
inquest was held this afternoon by the
Coroner OF this county on the bodies of
seventeen victims of the Kettle Creek
mine explosion. The testimony of wit
nesses shows that dynamite caused the
explosion, but no blame attaches to any
one except the miners themselves. The
scene at the mines was heartrending
when the Coroner and Jury reached the
place. The mines were but recently
opened and are located in a desolate
spot near the town of Remove. Several
of the bodies will be buried there
tomorrow and others will be sent to diff
