yond 1876. In that year the late Samuel
j. Tilden, who was the Democratic
nominee for the Presidency, carried the
State by safe plurality of 5,515 over his
Republican opponent, R. B. Hayes.
That year Peter Cooper got 9,533 votes
in the State, large portion of which
was naturally Democratic. There was
no Prohibition ticket in the field to draw
away votes from Hayes.
In 1880 the James A. Garfield elec.
tors carried the State by a plurality
|of $3.50 over the Democratic ticket
headed by General Hancock. But James
B. Weaver got 1888.
In 1884 the State went for Grover
Cleveland over James G. Blaine by more
than as many votes as Garfield prevailed
by four years before. The plurality was
6,512. That year st. John, the Prohibi.
ton candidate, got 3,O18 votes, while
Ben. F. Butler received S,716.

[Great applause Mr.. Dunnigan
proved from the record that the
Democratic party had always been
the party of true protection to the work
ingman. 1t always favored tariff for
revenue with incidental protection. He
showed how increased demand for labor
and higher wages for the workingman
would follow the reduction of the tariff
provided for in the Mills bill. He
pointed out the Discrepancies Of the SEN
ate Tariff bill and wherein it favored the
monopolies and the trusts as against tho
poor and honest workingman.
Stephens properly claimed no honor
for his party because Of the passage by
Congress of the Chinese Exclusion bill.
He was right. That bill was exclusively
of Democratic origin. 1t but carried out
the views which Democratic statesmen
always entertained on the Chinese oues-
ton. When Benjamin Harrison by his
Pro- Chinese policy and speech was
Matching treason in the United States
Senate and in literary essays in Indian
apolis, as long ago as 1879, against the
workingmen of the Pacific Coast, Allen
q. Thurman proclaimed aloud in
the Senate and on the
stump the true policy of the
Democratic party against the Chinese.
The Pacific States had appealed in vain
to Congress when that body was under
Republican control, for help against the
Chinese invasion-the lowest type of
civilized men on earth-and il was not
until a Democratic House of Represent
atives met that their cry was needed
Hayes had vetoed the fifteen Passenger
bill, Arthur had vetoed the twenty-year
Exclusion bill, but Cleveland, the noble
Democrat, and Democratic House of
Representatives, had given the Pacific
Coast the only full and permanent pro-
lection they ever had against the
Chinese. With these and other uncon-
trovertible historical facts and figures,
Mr.. Dunnigan completely unhorsed his
antagonist, and left him wounded on the
field, and held aloft and triumphantly
the banner of true Democracy. The
audience dispersed highly pleased with
the discussion, and now that the Repub-
licans have at last Screwed their cour-
age to the sticking point" and ventured
into the arena OF joint debate, it is to be
hoped they will send other champions
into the lists, even though discontinue
awaits them at the hands of Democratic
knights. The more discussion the better
it will be for the Democratic faith.
Truth is mighty and will prevail.

THE nomenclature of the city of Los
Angeles has heretofore been very poorly
adjusted. 1t is with the names of the
streets as it has been with the streets
themselves-irregularity is King. In
some of the streets of Los Angeles there
are three widths within half a mile.
With some others there are from two to
three names within mile or so. A
special committee of the Council was
empowered to handle this matter, with a
view to harmonizing names, and their
report appears elsewhere. 1t will doubt.
less be adopted by the Council and we
shall have more satisfactory nomen-
clature for the future. We want streets

LET no one say that Los Angeles is not

frst-class city for amusements.
Whenever there are attractions offered
that please the people, they are unstinted
in their patronage. An instance OF this
kind was shown last night. Sells circus
exhibited to an audience that completely
packed their mammoth tent, and the
Grand Opera House, at the same time,
was filed from parquet to gallery. In
addition the other public resorts for
amusements were filed with spectators
1t would not be out of the way to say
thar ten thousand persons patronized the
various places Of public amusement in
this city last night.

GRAND STAND COLLAPSED.
Los Angeles People Among the In.
iured in q Great Disastor.

QUINCY. October 10.-The fireworks
grand stand, containing 4,5OO people,
collapsed this evening. Many persons
were injured. The number of persons
hurt will reach $50, some of whom will
die. The annual festival known as the
Merchants Display was the occasion for
the gathering.
There were probably nearly six thou
sand persons on the grand stand to wit
ness the fireworks exhibition. Scarcely
had the first rocket been fred when the
supports of the west end of the structure
gave way and eight hundred feet of seats
collapsed: The electric lights went
out and darkness added to the terrors
of the scene. Fully five hundred
persons were injured, but $50 will cover
those who are at all seriously wounded.
Among the injured are Mrs. Van Thusing
son and daughter, of Los Angeles, CAL,
who received bad bruises. 1t is moi
thought that their injuries are likely to
result seriously, however.

Blaine In Indiana,

The other day the news was sent out
all over the Union that Mr.. Harrison
would take rest for twenty days, during
which period no delegations would be
received. simultaneously came the
announcement that Mr.. Blaine would
appear in Indiana in few days and
remain couple of weeks. Put this and
that together and the conclusion is ire.
sistible that the small Harrison show is
afraid to compete with the big circus oi
the greatest statesman. If any one
doubts this explanation, let him reflect
on this: When it was announced few
days ago that Mr.. Blaine had Cancelled
i've OF his seven engagements to speak in
the Hoosier State, the Indianapolis Jour.
nal, John G. News paper and the prime
backer of Deacon Harrison, had this to
say:
The announcement that all of Mr..
Blaine's appointments in Indiana, except
two, have been Cancelled, will be more
surprising than disappointing to many
Indiana Republicans.
This hard hit at the Magnetic States
man is followed by succession of blows
of similar character, as, for instance
this:
The prospect of a shortening of Mr.
Blaine's Indiana trip has caused 10 re-
gret, nor has it given rise to any grave
apprehension that by the cancellation O
any OF his appointments there is les:
probability Of Republican victory in
the State.
Indeed, there are not wanting Repub
licans in Indiana who think that Blaine
is purposely Burcharding the Harrison
campaign.

SENATOR FAIR has placed on record a
deed to the Lick House property with
the consideration placed at 81 ,250, 900.
We are pleased at this course, and it
might we'll be followed by men who
doubtless consider themselves more hon
est than Mr. Fair. Most men making
such purchase would have the deed re-
corded for IS as the purchase price. Mr..
Fair g course ishonest and commendable
and will save the Assessor considerable
trouble. The correct assessment for the
Lick House can readily be determined
from the deed, by dividing the purchas
price between the realty and personally.
1t will moreover afford means OF getting
at the value of other property in this
neighborhood that ought to result in q
considerable increase of the assessment
roll OF the city.-[San Francisco Post.
HERE we have the secret of the assess
ment Of the city and county of San
Francisco, both realty and personally,
at the preposterously low sum of $27O,.
600, 900, while Assessor Mason returned
the county of Los Angeles at $1O7 ,OOO,-
600, which is little more than forty per
cent. of the city and county at the
Golden Gate. And yet at San francisco
lies all the accumulated wealth of forty
years. Verify our people are greatly
indebted TO this Republican assessor.

A CORRESPONDENT, who signs himself
''Los Angeles" in another column, gives
some very pertinent reasons why the
projected new Charter should be rejected.
The HERALD has chosen to make it's OBJ
iections hinge upon the gerrymander
of the Wards, which will insure an
overwhelming Republican majority in
the City Council, no matter how the
popular vote may go, or what the popu-
lar sentiment may be. In our judgement
that, of itself, ought to defeat the Char

dates was, respectively, 431 ,070, All, ,2O4,
495, ,206. This would not indicate more
than a natural increase of population for
the periods under review.
Now, all men know what influences
carried the State for Garfield. If any
does not, he has but to refer to Mr.. Ar
thurs speech in New York short time
after the election, in which the Vice
President elect paid SO high tribute to
Mr.. Dorsey and to his use of "soap."
This year the Republican candidate
lives in Indiana. That fact ought to be
of great benefit to the ticket, and would
be under ordinary circumstances. But it
will not avail Mr.. Harrison. The nearer
home one gets to the Republican can
didate the greater his unpopularity
grows. He is actively opposed by all la
Dor organizations in his State, and they
are powerful. He is also destined to
play the part of victim to the knife Of
the Geenbackers, whose strength runs to
13 ,00o votes. Mr.. Harrison will come in
also for the bitter enmity of the foreign
population. He inherits Know Nothing
ism. His is the spirit which antagonizes
all the traditional habits OF people who
come from any part of Europe. The
Irish, whom he said fill our penitentaries,
will join with the Greenbackers, whom
he wanted to enlarge our insane
asylums to accommodate, to defeat the
man who spoke with bitterness and
contempt OF them. The Germans like
him and his straight-laced Puritanism as
little as the laborers are enamored with
his programme OF a dollar a day and
bayonets. If all these influences do not
give Mr.. Cleveland Indiana in 1888 as
he received her vote in 1884. it is very
strange case.

Ir is simply astonishing the extent OF
building improvement. now goin G on in
this city. AT DO tin'9 in its history has
there been create number of residences
in the course OF cree ion. Some of them,
too, are of very costly and superior
style OF architecture. We counted yes
terday no less than twelve struc-
lures under way in space of
a few blocks from Pearl and
Tenth streets. The city below Seventh
street on the Western side is building up
very rapidly. East of Main street and
on down to the city limit the same energy
in improvement is to be seen. We all
know that the streets of the business
portion OF the city are blocked up by
builders every few steps. If the resi-
dence portions of the city continue to
improve as they are now improving,
it will not be long before all the streets
below Tenth east and west Of Main will
be as completely built up as those north
Of it. One striking feature Of the improv-
ing residence section is that the lots are
all large, enabling their owners to have
handsome lawns and gardens fronting
and surrounding their homes. 1t is rare
to find residence in this city without
grounds that are tastefully embellished
with flowers and trees. If Los Angeles
is not now as beautiful city as there is
Oh the coast, in few years it will be
without peer in the United States.

THERE was Republican ge.rymande

THERE was a Republican ge,rymander
of the city of New York thirty years ago
which has enabled the Republican party
to control the Senate of the United States
for the last twenty-five years. The law
of New York provides for the taking of
census every ten years intermediately
between the census of the United States
what might be called an intercalary
census. It should have been taken in
1885, and it was not taken because it
would have assured the people of the
city of New York their representation
in the Legislature. 1t was not taken in
previous mid-decades for the same
reason. As result. it takes, ac-
cording to locality, from three to
four times rs many votes to
elect Democratic member of the
Legislature in certain wards in the
Empire city as it does to elect the same
Republican official in certain districts in
Republican Western New York. With a
fair apportionment, for decades New
York would have had two Democratic
United States Senators instead of the
invariable two Republican Senators.
The question is whether, by the adoption
of the new Charter, the people of Los
Angeles desire to assure a perpetual,
cast-iron Republican two-thirds majority
in the City Council of Los Angeles? II
they don't, let them vote against the new
charter.
