falcation OF it's cashier, Ralston, COM

the heaviest losers was the City of Los

instances it was found they had trans
ferred their properties. The Republican
campaign fund was large debtor. ditto

leading Republicans. A list Of their

A Fortunate druggist.

Mr.. Edwin W. Joy for many years and now 8
prosperous druggist on the corner of Stockton and
Market streets in San Francisco, probably never
dreamed of rivaling in wealth tho medicine kings
of the country. But various rumors having been
floating around to the effect that he has struck il
the cause, and after much difficulty unravelled
the following story:
Itseems that about seven years ago an English
physician, great student of botany, located for
brief in this city. His practice was not ex
tensiye, and yet tho few cases of general nature
that came to him attracted little attention. His
greatest success seemed to be in the treatment OF
liver and kidney disorders, and vitiated blood. In
fact his ability to cope with these common com
plants was little short of the marvellous. He
seemed almost infallible, and his quiet, modest
methods and his well kept secret was as much a
mystery as himself After his departure about q
year rlater Mr. Joy determined to fathom the secret
and copying nli the Prescriptions he had filled foI
the erratic doctor, he began systematic analysis
In his examination he discovered running all
through the prescriptions for liver and kidney
troubles, vitiated blood and stomach disorders q
couple of vegetable extracts indigenous to Calfor
mia, so simple and SO well known under homely
every day names 10 every school boy as to entirely
dissipate the suspicion that they were the active
principles involved. So certain, however, was
Mr.. Joy that he had discovered the secret that he
embodied the new elements in preparation of
Sarsaparilla to disguise the taste, and put before
his customers under the modest name of Joys
Vegetable Sarsapapilla. Immediately the same
marvellous stories came back of its astonishing
effects, and the mystery was solved, and the talk
it has created has already caused 1t TO step into
prominence, and orders pour in daily from all
over the coast. People seem to be taking It and

A Forecast of the Vote of the state.
Our contemporaries, both Democratic

estimates of the vote of California. We
have not taken stock in either of these
crazy fgurers, nor do we believe that
either party is benefited by kind of ex-
aggeration which imposes on the calm
good-sense of no man who has made a
study of the political situation. After a
careful review of all the facts bearing
upon the campaign and the probable
changes that have been effected by the
new issues injected into it, we have
drawn up the following table of majorities
as one which we believe will not be
found materially altered by the returns

EDITORS HERALD Notwithstanding
my plain and explicit declaration upon
the subject, l understand that persons,
whose private interests lead them TO op-
pose my election, are daily asserting that
l do not intend to deposit the county
funds, in the event of my election, among
the var1Dus banks mentioned in my
former published communication. l
respectfully refer your readers to my let
ter dated September 7th, addressed to
Mr.. F. II. Barclay, replying to q COM
munication addressed by him to me. In
that letter I stated, and l again state,
that, if elected, will keep
all moneys belonging to the State
or county as required by law !;
and that, as the county has
provided that no vault, or any other safe
repository, will deposit such moneys in
the First National Bank, Farmers & Mer-
chants Bank, Los Angeles County Bank,
Southern California National Bank, Chill
dress Safe Deposit Bank, University
Bank, Los Angeles National Bank, and
such other banking establishments of
the county as may be found desirable
and secure. call attention to the spe-
tific character of my pledge, and call at
tention to the fact that there is no equivo-
cation about it, and no one has ever been
able to show that l have ever acted
otherwise than in good faith, or have ever
been accused of the violation of my

In the above table we have left Gala
veras, Sonoma, Sutter and Trinity coun.
ties as ties. The majorities will be- yery
little either way. We have left Los An.
geles blank. In order to overcome the
Democratic majority, as shown above
the Republicans will have to carry this
county by 1921 votes. Can they pol]
this plurality above Cleveland, that is
the question. We do not believe it,
Whilst we have made the Democratic
majorities in the above estimates very
conservative, we have been very liberal
on the other side. We do not believe
that Sacramento will give the Republic
cans over 500 plurality, nor do we believe
that they will carry San Diego and San
Bernardino by 1,l0O. Our most relia-
BILE advices from San Francisco as
sure US that that city will 90 rather
over than under 1000 plurality. Indeed,
it is believed at Democratic headquarters
there that anywhere from 5000 to 10, 900
may be looked for. We have allowed
the Republicans $500 plurality in Ala
media, and that is certainly over-liberal,
whilst Santa Clara has more than she
will probably get in the 500 plurality we
have given her. Whatever notifications
may be made in our figures, as set forth
above, will be, in our judgment, favor
able to the Democratic side.
