THERE is no doubt, from facts that
have come to US, that there is a secret
Republican literary bureau here which
has been engaged for some time in man
ufacturing bogus letters addressed to
prominent men of different parties, ask
ing for information after the Murchison
style. For instance, letters have been
addressed to leading Prohibitionists,
as coming from sincere disciples of
Fiske, but who ask if it would not be
better at once to give the Republican
party it's ceap de grace by casting their
votes directly for Cleveland? Answers
are looked for to be used just prior to
election day. The same scheme is to be
worked up with the American" party
cranks, and doubtless Wigginton is now
chewing over some of these epistles.
Sackville is the only prominent English
man who has been caught out of perhaps
the score who have received similar let
ters from the Sharp-Aleck Republican
bureau.

HALL McALMsTER. the great San Fran
cisco lawyer, is dying of softening OF the
braiu in New York. Mr.. McAllister arriv.
ed in California in pioneer days, when he
was quite young man. From the be-
ginning Of his career at the bar, he took
a foremost position, and has been ON
one side or the other Of all the great law
cases tried in San Francisco. His father
held the position Of o. S. Circuit Judge
for California for many years, and died
OF the same disease which has now
attacked his son. As his appointment
was for life, and as the law at that time
was not clear upon the point of the man.
ner Of determining the incompetency of
Federal Judges, he continued to go
through the vain form of hearing and de-
Gliding motions long after his mind had
become impaired. Many painful scenes
in his court occurred before Congress
made the necessary rectifications in the
statute governing the retiring of U. s.
Judges.

Francisco Examiner, to the effect that
there is crooked work going on in the
matter Of putting names on the Great
Register that had not been received in
that Office before the closing of registra.
tion on the I'd Of October. We have NO
proof that Mr.. Dunsmoor is playing a
foul game for the benefit of his party this
year; but people are naturally suspi-
cious OF an officer who has already used
his place for the purpose of disfranchis-
ing Democratic voters. But what we
particularly wished to refer to is the ia
sinuation at the close of the Enpress
article, that one of the editors of this paper,
now in San Francisco, had instigated the
dispatch. The Express knows that this
is false. There is not a newspaper man
in Los Angeles who does not know who

patch from here.

Thurman and Reform. Not all the
Kings (uncrowned) money and all the
Kings men. with all the ''floaters" and all
the "snowfiakes" in Indiana, backed up
by all the Negroes that can be "colonized''
from Alabama, will be able to shake the
Hoosier State out of the solid Democratic
column. Gratifying % this news is, il
probably would have been better to
have kept it concealed for the present.
The effect will be to show our
Republican friends that they will do bet
ter to let 60 of Indiana and concentrate
all their efforts ON New York. 1t is re-
ported on good authority that Pennsyl-
vania alone will put $780, 1000 into
Gotham in order to purify the politics of
that wicked political Sodom. This un-
paralleled method of publication is the
one thing the Democratic party has to
fear in this election.

THE Republicans having been stamped
ed on the tariff issue and the Chinese
question. are trying to turn the tide Of dis
cussion into another channel. The British
Minister Is impertinent interference in the
politics OF the country to which he is ac-
credited, is taking up their attention to
the exclusion OF the real questions Of the
campaign. Whilst they are wasting their
time showing that the individual opinion
of Lord Sackville is to the effect that if
Mr.. Cleveland is reelected he will
uphold the position he has taken on the
subject OF retaliation (which verybody
knows he will), they pay no attention
whatever to the overwhelming testimony
we have from the Manchester papers
and those of the other great manufactur-
ing English cities, which take the sensi-
BILE view that the success of the Demo-
cratic policy will be detrimental to
British interests. Nor do they try to ex-
plain away the very material testimony
of Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew's English
nobleman. who said that if Clsveland's q
views, to place raw material on the
free list, are carried out, it will
be a tremendous blow to the
interests OF Great Britain. They
have here matter enough to take up all
their spare time. If they can show the
American people that the Republican
party with its high tariff is not playing
directly and undeniably into the hands
OF British commercial ascendency, and
as a consequence tina. it is the pro-Eng
lish party in American politics, they will
accomplish more than they have yet
been able to do. They have caught
Lord sackville in trap by a sharp
Yankee trick-not very creditable per-
formance, when we view it from a moral
standpoint; but neither Cleveland nor
his party is responsible for what short
sighted British diplomat may say about
American politics. OF course it goes
without saying that he has violated the
rules OF Ambassadorial etiquette, and
should get his walking papers for his
freshness. Beyond that, the Republi-
cans are laboring with mountain, and
will bring forth a mouse.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-10-27

THE idea that the Sackville letter
could influence single sensible vote
against Cleveland is too absurd to
entertain. If Sackville had said that
the President Of the United States was
a rash, self-opinionated man, who would
refuse to listen to reason, but would
plunge the United States into war with
England SO as to spite the Republican
party and conciliate the voting element
antagonistic to England, what kind of a
handle would our Republican friends
have made out of that? As he said
directly the opposite, what does it
amount to?

The Times repeats the absurd false
hood that England has contributed q
million dollars to elect Cleveland. Il is
far more likely that the British manufac-
turers have contributed that or greater
sum to elect Harrison, for his election
will ensble them to continue to monopo-
lize theSnarkets of the world, whilst the
election OF Cleveland will enable Ameri-
can manufacturers to compete success
fully in those markets with English man
ufacturers. The success of the Democratic
tariff policy will cause an immense
shrinkage in the $1,O6O, ,OOO, 600 worth Of
manufactured goods now annually ex-
ported to all parts of the globe by Great
Britain, as against the $105, ,0OO, 900 worth
sent out of the United States.

The McAuliffe- -Conley Prize
Fight.
FINISHED IN TWO ROUNDS
The Ithica Giant Knocked Out with
Ease-LOcal Happenings at the
Metropolis.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERA1pl
SAN FRANCISCO, October 26.-The
match arranged some time ago by the
California Athletic Club between Jos.
McAuliffe, the heavyweight champion
of the Pacific Coast, and Mike Conley, the
Ithaca giant, had aroused more interest
in sporting circles than any similar event
in this city since the glove contest be-
tween Sullivan and Ryan. and 1900
people filed every available foot Of space
in the clubreoms this evening an hour
before the men appeared in the ring.
McAulife weighed about 215 pounds,
while Conley did not exceed 1877. The
Californian's height is feet inches,
Conley measuring about four inches
less. The club had offered purse OF
So ,0C0, the whole amount to 60 to the
winner.
Herman Cook, of this city, was referee;
Jack Hays, Conley's backer, and William
Delany seconded the Michigan man,
while Barney Farley and Young Mitchell
looked after McAuliffe. 1t was a few
minutes after 8 O'Clock when the Presi-
dent of the Club announced that the con-
testants were ready to appear. Conley
was the first to enter the ring, end was
given an enthusiastic reception. McAu-
life followed Immediately, and was also
received with cheers.
At 9:15 the men advanced to shake
hands, and time was called. Conley be.
gan to rush at the start, but nothing was
accomplished save several clinches. He
pushed McAulitfe into a corner and
against the ropes several times, and both
men succeeded in getting in few light
blows before the round ended.
Conley tried the same tactics in the
second round, and pushed McAuliffe
against the ropes. The heavy Californian
freed himself and dealt Conley terrible
blow on the jugular, which sent him to
the floor. He arose with the greatest
difficulty, and tried to finish out the
round by hugging McAuliffe closely. 1t
was plain to everyone that the blow had
done the work, for Conley appeared
almost unable to stand. MeAuliffe freed
himse + from the close embrace and dealt
his opponent another stinging blow on
the jaw, which completely Knocked him
out. He made feeble effort to rise, but
was unable to do 30, and amid intense
excitement and loud cheering, McAuliffe
was declared the victor, in about six
minutes after time was called for the first
round,

FOR PARTISAN REASONS.
A Labor Editor DepOsed for Pro.
mitigating Democratic Views.

INDIANAPOLIS, October 26.-About a
month ago Allen Jennings and other
stockholders of the Labor SIGNAL, a
weekly newspaper founded as the organ
of various trades unions, instituted pro-
ceedings against T. M. Gruelle, editor,
and John Bodenmiller, business man
ager, asking for an accounting and pray
ing for the appointment of a receiver.
Special Judge Eli Ritter to-day
filed ruling finding for the plain
tits and granting their application
for receiver. Judge Ritter recites
the statements of the plaintiffs and de-
clares void the pretended lease to Gruelle
and Bodenmiller, touching whom the
Court says: ''They have diverted the
policy and purpose of said paper and the
publication thereof from the design and
purpose contemplated by the stockhold-
ers and the original directors in the Or
ganization Of said company. They neg
lected and refused to print the platform
of the Union Labor party and so changed
the political tone of the paper as to
make it acceptable and so desirable to
the Democratic party that the Democratic
State Central Committee took regularly
Of each issue four thousand copies, be-
sides which the Democratic County
Committee ordered q large number Of
each issue, this demand constituting the
principal circulation of the newspaper"
The language and statements in Judge
Ritter's decision when they became pub
lie this evening were the subject of much
interesting political conversation and
gossip about headquarters. The paper
has recently acquired wide circulation
through the agencies of both political
parties.

Our esteemed sprine.street contempo.

OUR esteemed Spring-street contempo-
rary the other day published an inter-
view with Mr.. John Schumacher, in
which that gentleman is made to say on
his return from the East that New York
was safe for. Harrison. What Mr.
Schumacher did say was that the EN-
pire State was Safe, with a big S, for
Cleveland. 1t makes no difference how
this is put to the Spring-street paper,
perhaps, but it makes good deal Of
difference to Mr.. Schumacher, to Mr..
Harrison, to Mr.. Cleveland, and to the
rest of the world.
