THINK Of It for moment Republican man
and brother. What has Cleveland done 70
lose bis stalwart support In such states as New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana, and In
the solid South, with Its one hundred and fifty
three electoral votes.-l HERALD.
He has shown that his civil service
reform promises were mere bait to catch
pudgeons, by making wholesale evctions
Of honest and worthy ofiice-holders,
simply because they were Republicans.
He has shown not alone his unwilling
ness TO respect, but his inability 10 com
prehend the feelings of patriotic Ameri-
cans. And, finally, he has threatened
the whole industrial fabric Of this great
country, upon which our prosperity is
based. DO you require any more reasons
Times.
No President Of the United States has
es er been more conscientious and fore
bearing than Cleveland in the treatment
Of his political opponents. We do not
claim this as special merit for Mr.,
Cleveland. On the contrary, the slight
dissatisfaction that existed towards him
in his own party for the first years Of his
administration arose from his ,scrupnlous
observance Of that plank in the platform
on which he was nominated, which
pledged the Democratic administration
to Civil Service reform. Probably the
Civil Service Commissioners themselve,
are the best witnesses Of his punctilioul
observance Of this pledge. The mos
striking instance of his devotion to boil
the letter and the spirit Of tina
resolution of the Chicago Convention
was his re-appointment of Mr.. Pearson
as Postmaster Of New York. There wal
nothing in the letter of the Civil Service
prescription that called for this reap
pointment. Mr.. Pearson's commission
had expired, and the Presidents right Il
appoint a Democratic successor to tha
official was undisputed. The Postmaste
OF New York controls some four thousan,
minor appointments. 1t can scarcely b,
questioned that there are many New
York Democrats who would give perfec
satisfaction to the public in that position
And yet Mr.. Cleveland's devotion to tn
sentiment which calls for the contnu
ance in office Of faithful and competen
official was so great that he went out G
his way to recognize fidelity and eff
cheney in public trust in the person Of
political opponent. The paragraph fror
the Times shows how impossible it is 10
a Democratic President to receive recoe
milton for a non-partizan act from a par
tizan press.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-06-24

Ir is somewhat entertaining to read the
Democratic gush in Los Angeles about
Grover Cleveland, President. 1t comes
in a continuous, tinkling stream. But
how it contrasts with the same papers
comments about four years ago, when
the result was uncertain, when in fit oi
virtuous indignation it bemoaned the
fate of the party because Grover was a
Stupid, besotted leader!" How things
do change when the sign is right.
As the only Democratic paper in Los
Angeles four years ago was the HERALD,
we presume that the foregoing from the
Tribune, refers to this journal. 1t is
hardly necessary that we should say that
it is falsehood pure and simple. The
HERALD gave Grover Cleveland for Pres
ident an enthusiastic support. There is
very low order Of both political and
journalistic morality in downright lying.
If the Tribune can produce line that
ever appeared in the HERALD in deroga-
tion of Grover Cleveland at any stage OF
his political or personal career it will
save itself from the grave and easily
demons,rable charge of being falsifer.
OF course the President is much bigger
man now than he was in 1884, but in
that year he was acclaimed by the HER
AID as fitting and admirable Democrat.

Blaine's Augusta howl shows that he was
a successful one.

WE MUST extend certain commisera-
ton to our Republican friends on their
deferred celebration. Early in the week
they erected platform against the side
of the HERALD office from which they
were to hurl certain perfunctory jubila-
tions over some body as TO whose person
ality they were at sea. They have been
obliged to suffer from that hope deferred
which maketh the heart sick. With a
devotion worthy Of better cause, they
were prepared to cry hallelujah, no mat
ter who should emerge from the political
hopper. They have arranged for the
blare OF brass bands and for the full.
throated bazoos OF their orators, no mat.
ter who should be decided upon; but as
yet the ear-piercing fife and the soul.
stirring drum have not been able to dc
their Office, nor have the orators aforesaid
been able to air their conventional elo.
quence. The Chicago parturition is pain
full and protracted, and shows every sign
of being political miscarriage when il
does eventuate.

A SIGNIFICANT CONFERENCE.
An Attempt to Select n Compromis,
Candidate.

CHICAGO, June 23.-The Conference
Committee that met at the Grand Pacific
last night and remained in session until
nearly O'Clock this morning, assernbl I'D
Immediately after adjourring this morn
ing in parlor three OF the Grand Pacific
Hotel. There was large representation
comprising representatives of Alger,
Blaine, Allison, Sherman and Hawley
forces. This meeting was principally
called for the purpose of defeating the
Harrison movement to-day, but they
really did not know the object OF their
meeting,as Harrison had been practically
defeated by adjournment yesterday.
However, after various speakers had
addressed the meeting upon the i'm
possibility of nominating any man but
Blaine, they appointed committee to
take the situation into consideration and
to present to the Conference Committee
a ticket which, if the members saw fit,
they could report back to their deega-
tons with the recommendation that they
support it.
A Committee of ten was appointed,
representing different factions, consisting
of Col. Davis and Senator Farwell, on
behalf of Gresham; NJ. II. De Young,
tor the Blaine movements Congressman
Hubbard and Clarkson, for Allison; Hon.
Mr.. Dufield, for Alger; Governor
Foraker and Hon. Benz. Butterworth, for
Sherman. The Conference then ad-
journed until half-past two, and the
Committee Immediately went into ses-
sion, notifying Senators Hoar and Quay
to be present. Senator Quay did not i'm
mediately put in an appearance.
The first action taken was by Senator
Farwell, who, after plimenting Judge
Gresham, said that for the sake OF har-
mony he would withdraw his name.
Governor Foster then addressed the
meeting in behalf of John Sherman as
the ablest man that the Committee could
report in favor of. At the conclusion of
Governor Fosters remarks, Duffield ad-
dressed the Committee in favor of GEN
eral Alger. Clarkson was then called
upon, and he very strongly urged the
claims of Senator Allison. NJ. II. De

THE sentiment against surrendering
any portion OF Elysian Park for Pest
House purposes is growing daily in Los
Angeles. There is first the legal ques-
ton as to whether the Council has
power to rescind its action dedicating
city lands for such purpose. The City
Attorney has been away up to the time
OF our writing, and we do not know what
attitude he will take in this matter. But
one thing is unquestioned, and that is
that the public strongly protest against
anything which will initiate against the
beauty and usefulness of this splendid
plot. Mayor Workman can commend
himself to the good will OF an overwhelm-
ing majority OF the people by vetoing
this ordinance.

prisoned by Elizabeth and finally killed
by the order OF Catherine IL.
Elizabeth, who succeeded Anne, OF
rather Ivan, only wished to pursue her
pleasures and her devotions, for she was
very devout. As for her pleasures she
shared them with all the grenadiers of
the Guard. She was despot, and sent
over $4,000 persons to Siberia during her
reign. She was common drunkard and
was indolent, vain and prodigiously ex-
travagant. At her death between Is, 900
and 10000 dresses were found in her
wardrobe. She ended in disgrace the
reign OF the Romanoffs, which had con-
tinued unbroken for 14S years, and the
house of Holstein-G Gottorp held the
throne.

LATENT MAGNETIsNI.
BIaine's Friends at Next Session
show Their Full Strength.

CHICAGO, June 23.-From gentleman
high up in the councils OF the Blaine fac
tion in the Chicago Convention, the fol-
lowing points were learned this after
noon:
General satisfaction is felt by those hav-
ing Blaine's interests in hand at the dis
play OF forbearance on the part of the
California delegation in managing
Blaine's interests on the floor OF the Com
vention. Through the efforts of leaders
in the party and their able management.
the Californians have so suppressed the
Blaine movement in the Convention as
to cause no affection of ill feeling on the
part OF other candidates. Their tactics
have been, so they claim, in keeping
with the feelings Of Blaine. AS repre-
sented here by his friends, it was Blaine's
desire that every candidate who has been
working for months to secure the prize of
the Presidential nomination, should have
a fair show on the floor Of the Conven-
ton, and not have to combat Blaine's
great strength and popularity.
In Difference to these wishes the
managers of the California delegation
when the Convention first met, sought
out the other Blaine delegations, and
secured the acquiescence OF the majority
of them to vote for other candidates as
long as any of them had any show.
That this was done is evidenced by one of
THE MOST PECULIAR ROLL CALLS
Ever known in National Convention,
But five States cast solid ballots continu-
ously, the others being split and one
delegation, Dakota" gave each candi-
date in nomination one vote and Filter
two, thereby causing great amusement to
those who knew the meaning of the
move.
Blaine's managers now think that the
time has come for them to assert them
selves. They claim to have given the
other candidates every opportunity to
secure the nomination. The Convention
has been balloting since yesterday morn
ing, and they think it has been clearly
demonstrated that neither Sherman,
Gresham, Harrison, Allison or Alger
have the faintest chance; SO at the next
session Of the Convention it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that the Blaine men will
demand their candidates nomination
and show their full strength.

ADAY OF SURPRISES.
The Ohio Senator DismOunting
From His High Horse.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The day has
been one Of surprises here. The Harri-
son men practically acknowledged he
was out of the race after last nights ad.
journment.
The Sherman men, too, came down
from their high horses of certainty and
came finally to admit that the candidacy
of the Senator from Ohio was hopeless.
Sherman himself was indignant over the
story that the Republicans of the House
had joined in signing dispatch to Chi
cago, calling on the Convention to nomi-
nate Mckinley.
Allison keeps his own counsel and is
the coolest man about Washington.
1t is reported here tonight that Sher-
man, having become convinced that he
cannot be nominated, has decided to
turn over his votes to Blaine and lead
the stampede for the Maine statesman,
which is confidently looked for early on
Mondays session.

DErEw has announced his preference
for Blaine and it is even intimated that
Sherman stands in with the Plumed

these rumors he end will be announced
