Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-07-25
peared yesterday in Republican papel

salu IhlS Is queer action. | neye
heard OF committee that took step
against men who have been accused o
such crime as stealing a ballot box
The accused parties should have a chanc,
to defend themselves"
Young Appel interrupted the speaker
and said: 81 wish to ask the gentleman
ii he did not sign Democratic club rol
in this city short time ago." [Great
Excitement.
Fehneman: eyes, did sign such a
roll, but did it for the interest of the
Republican party"
Mr.. Singletary interrupted the speaker
but was not allowed to speak.
Fehneman continuing: "That man
pointing to Singletary, who was in the
back part Of the room) caused all this
trouble. He is at the bottom of it,"
Singletary: "You lie, and you know
It," Advancing on Fehneman].
But the crowd surrounded him and
tehneman went on at some length and
charged the would-be bosses with having
brought about the disturbance at the
Fourth Ward. He stated that they in
terfered with the voting.
| ."One OF the bosses came up and order
ed the polls closed when he knew that
the hour for closing had not yet arrived,
and that there were quite number pres
ent who had not voted.'
Lester Osborne: "Name hir,.."
Fehneman: "H. H. Boyce. He came
up ten minutes before the time set to
close the polls and ordered his right-hand
bower to close. He knew that we could
beat his ticket, and he did not want us
to get in another vote. Tho ticket was
prepared by Boyce, Gosper, Paine and
Lowell. The Orc Fino Club will always
be the leading club of the county, and
they cannot break it. Not only that, but
when the election is over we will show
you that the would-be bosses cannot run
this city. Our fight is against them. and
will be to the end"
little bit of literature. The Almighty
must have looked down with an approy-
ing smile on his self-appointed cham
pions.
Among other things the man Woods,
who is charged With the stealing of the
ballot box in the Fourth Ward, said that
another bright exemplar of morality
named Cornell had been seen to pay fifty
cents head for "repeaters."
In view of these little encounters with
the jawbones of the asses it is not to be
wondered at that there are none who will
confess to being members of this club.
Nor is there any wonder that the decent
people in the party stand aghast at the
high-handed outrages committed by this
gang of political Thugs. The party
stands aghast, and shaking in
their tracks for the outcome at the polls
next November. They know that the
sentiment of this community will ad-
minister most severe and necessary re-
buke to the party in whose name such
hoodlumism is committed. Some of the
"smart" fellows are trying, by their
usual tactics of mendacity, to shift the
blame of these proceedings to the shoul-
ders of the Democracy. They say too
many of our strikers took part in the af-
fair. 1t is entirely too attenuated an at
tempt. Read the list of names men,
toned above and tell us which of the
offenders has been Democrat. They
are and always have been bright and
shining lights in the Short-haired ring of
the g. o.p.
OFFICIAL ASPIRANTS.
In spite of the disorganized, demor-
allied and paralyzeG state in which the
party is, there are men who want place
on the ticket. Here are some of those
whose names will be tossed to and fro in
the great political bull ring on Thurs
day; For District Attorney, H. H APP
pell is up. He will not get there. He is
too young. Geo. M. Holton, who held
the office until two years ago and then
was defeated at the polls, wants to get
more OF the same sort of experience.
The party is not likely to name Holton.
Francis Patrick Kelly wants the place.
Francis Patrick is a great statesman.
He will say less in more words than any
man in Los Angeles. AS a lawyer,
Francis Patrick does not rank high. His
great hold is in making Protection
speeches before the Irish Republican
Club where Fehneman and Hogan do
not know truth from error. w. E.
Arthur of Pasadena is Also an aspirant !
for the same important office. If the
party wants to have any chance to win,
it ought to put up lawyer for the place.
But no we'll equipped lawyer seems to
want to run the gauntlet.
FOR COUNTY TREASURER.
John Miner has been working for
months to secure the nomination for
County Treasurer. j. T. Haddox, of Ell
Monte, wants to hold the purse-strings
Of the county. And Colonel j. Banbury,
Of Pasadena, is also willing to serve the
public in the same capacity. 1t is diff
cult to say which of this trio is to have
the cake.
FOR SHERIFF.
There are great many aspirants for
the shrievalty. Inthe first place, Martin
Aguirre wants to be the limb of the law.
Jim Meredith is more than will
ing to be thief-chaser. 1t is rum
ored that A. T. Currier, who filled the
office for term, is willing to try his
hand at the business again. R. Ranney
is still another in the same role. But
when all is told, it is more than probable
that George 7. Insley, of Santa Ana,
will be the man whom the Democratic
fellow will have to knock out.
FOR AUDITOR.
Frank Lauterio, A. B. Whitney of this
city and Major d. w. Hamlin of the
Azusa are the three who will meet on the
floor of the convention for the honor of
being defeated for County Auditor.
FOR COUNTY RECORDER.
A. A. Montana, Captain w. HI. Sea-
mans, and j. w. Francis, all of Los An
geles, want to be Recorder.
FOR TAX-COLLECToR.
There is only one aspirant for the office
of Tax Collector who is r. S. Platt.
FOR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR.
H. Decker the presl,nt incI1rn hont wants |
