Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-08-23
A Fine Roster.

| The Democratic legislative ticket IS a
strong one. Victor Montgomery, the
nominee for State Senator in the Thirty
ninth District, as the successor to Senator
Rose, is Santa Ana lawyer of note and
ability. He has resided in the southern
end of the county for years. is well
acquainted with the people and the
needs of the section in which he lives,
and will make an exceedingly strong
run. The candidates for the Assembly
are all men of standing and popularity.
Mr.. S. A. Waldron ought to have no
difficulty in beating the machine poll
tician Briefly in the Seventy-sixth Dis
trict. Briefly is one of the men who put
up the job to disfranchise one
hundred and ninety four Democrats
in 1886, and for that reason no self
respecting Republican who puts right
above party ought to vote for him. Mr..
A. r. Street, the nominee in the Seventy
seventh District, is worthy and capable
man. He runs in district in which
Terence Cooney was really elected two
years ago, and which will be reliably
Democratic this year. He is strong
with the workinglnen and will easily
knock out his Republican opponent. In
the seventy-eighth district the Conven-
ton has presented man, in the person
of VIM. McFadden, who embodies about
all kinds of worth and qualifications. He
is popular educator. successful farmer
and all round thoroughbred.
We gave partial review of the County
nominees in yesterdays HERALD, and
shall touch cursorily on the rest. Mr..
Samuel Levy, the candidate for Public
Administrator, has been a resident of
California for thirty-nine years. He is
a thorough cold timer" has figured in
Amador county and in other mining
regions and has lived in Los Angeles
county for fifteen years. Two years of
that time he served as member of the
Board of Supervisors Of Los Angeles
county, and he earned the reputation of
being one Of the best members of the
Board this county has ever had. Mr..
John L. Mccoy, the nominee for
Coroner, is strong man and would dis
charge the duties Of the position with
perfect appreciation of their utmost re-
quirements. He is booked to win, and
Meredith may as we'll make up his mind
to hunt fresh fields and pastures green.
OF the nominee for County Surveyor,
Mr.. s. H. Finley, we cannot say as much
as we should wish, but will do so later.
William Crawford, ESQ.,, a talented
young lawyer, deserves to be, and un-
doubtedly will be, elected to succeed
Judge Taney. He is young, capable and
energetic, and will administer the office
we'll. The Messrs. o. H. Violet and S.
B. Lockwood will make admirable
City Justices. The Convention did
splendid thing in nominating Albert
Osthoff for Supervisor in the Second
District. Mr.. Osthoff is the soul of
energy and public spirit. A fitting COM
pliment was paid to the German Ameri-
can citizens in his selection. He will
give good account of himself and of his
district. He is needed in the Board of
Supervisors.
Down to the outside justices and the
candidates for Constable the Convention
did its work we'll.
The two outside Supervisoral Districts
will be splendidly represented by Hon.
J.W. Venable and Mr.. George Bessonett.
From top to bottom the ticket contrasts
most favorably with that put up by the
Ranuhlicana
