Abate the Nuisance.

A day or two since we called the at
tention Of member of the police force
to the very reprehensible practice of the
bows in running their tricycles on the side
walks, to the great annoyance and in
convenience of the throngs who crowd
them. The detestable little machine
takes up a good deal Of space; and th'
small boy" who is never reverent, ano
is no respecter of persons, takes delight II
exercising his boyish prerogative, ant
forcing everybody to get out OF the way
or be run into. Now, the practice is
nuisance that should not be longer toI
Grated. Let the authorities see to it
prompt abatement.

An Interesting Suit Against
Ex-Governor DOwney.
LOCAL POLITICAL WHISPERS.
The Historical Society Election
Other Events of an Inter-
esting Nature.

George Ryerson, the former Governor
of Lower California, has brought suit
against ex" x"Governor John G. Downey for
damages to the amount of $l2, 800, and the
case will come on in due time for trial
before the Superior Court of this county.
In the complaint Mr.. Ryerson sets
forth the circumstances which led to the
suit. According to the statement made
by the plaintiff, on the oath of last Sep.
tember he and Mr.. Downey entered into q
contrac. with regard to the purchase OF
some cattle which were then on the Lu.
gonia Ranch in Lower California and
were the property of Mr.. Ryerson. The
herd numbered about 220O head, and
MIR. Downey agreed to take them all at
the general price Of $40 head for all of
them over one year old and upwards.
They were to be delivered at the Dow.
ney ranch in San Diego county as soon
as possible by the plaintiff, and the ex-
penses OF transportation were to be
borne by Mr.. Ryerson until the cattle
reached the boundary line of the State,
after which Mr.. Downey was to assume
all costs.
The payments were to be made in the
following fashion: $l2,5OO cash was to
be paid over upon the execution and de-
livery of the contract (Which was a writ
ten one), So 900 on or before the last day
of December, 1888, and the balance to
be paid in one year from the last date,
without interest.
When the contract was signed and de-
livered, Mr.. Ryerson waited for more
than fifteen days for Mr.. Downey to pay
over the stipulated sum, but it was not
paid. About September 2Sth $100 was
paid, but the total of $500 was never
forthcoming.
In the meantime the plaintiff had
driven the herd up to San Diego, which
was the nearest market place. The ex-
pense involved in getting them to the
State line was 81, 1000. There was also
connected with the matter an extra ex-
pense of $500, which is specified in the
complaint. The total damage alleged to
have been sustained by the plaintiff is
therefore the sum of $12 300.
The complaint was filed on the I'd OF
this month. The attorneys who have
the interests of the plaintiff in hand
are Smith & Northrop.

make matters lively if things don't go to
suit them. Just what they want they
have not announced yet, but it is limited

1t is stated that some of the candidates
for nomination have already seen them
and have secured their good will. OF
course this does not mean that they will
consent to come before them should
ton, provided they succeed in becoming
candidates.
The Republican are in a qusndary as
to who they will give the nomination
to for Mayor. One faction, per-
haps the largest of the lot,
wants General Mansfield, another de-
ciares in favor of Hon. Henry Hazard
who would have liked to have taken ii
