The Enemy,s Forces.


The HERALD to-day places before itt
readers very exhaustive report of the
Republican convention held in this city
yesterday. The platform is reviewed
elsewhere editorially. 1t remains to re-
fer briefly to the ticket. The men before
the people is the issue which will deter.
mine this election. The policy of the
two parties is not go widely variant as tc
create much current to carry votes one
way Or other. The situation hinges on
the men. The Republican press knows
this and has tried by all unfair means to
cast discredit on the Democratic conven.
ton, on the men who composed it and
on the candidates of our party. We dc
not intend to follow so bad an example
by a wanton vilifcation of the Republi
can delegates or candidates, many oil
whom are most estimable gentlemen, land
useful citizens. But they are not all so.
The Convention was managed and run
by "the boys" from one end of it to the
other. A political convention in large
city is usually rather heterogeneous
mass. All sorts are to be found in such
gatherings. The Convention yesterday
was in no respect an exception to the
general rule. If there were men of high
character there, 30 there were men OF
low character, and no character. If there
are any tougher citizens in the city then
some of those who took prominent part
in the deliberations Of the Republican
Convention, they are not generally
known. And in the main the
policy cf the party is to be liberal
even to licentiousness, if it gets into
power. The moral wing of the party
was not heard in the Convention, nor
will it have voice in the administra-
tion..
The ticket has on it the names of some
fairly good men. But they are not by any
means the people to such an extent that
wisdom or patriotism is likely to die
with them. The two tickets are now
before the people, and they will pass
judgment at the polls next Thursday.
The Democracy of Los Angeles goes
into the contest with the best
hopes of success. They have nothing
to fear by any comparison to be made
between the two tickets. The people are
intelligent, and are not to be misled by
any false cry raised by hidebound, men
dacious, blindly partial press. They will
sit in calm judgment on the names
before them, and they will select the
best, untrammeled by personal preju-
dices. 1t is very generally known that
the police force of this city is to 90 into
the hands of disreputable gang of
boodlers in the event of the Re-
publican party carrying the election.
All dogs are muzzled. Doodle is king,
and that is the consideration which heals
all old sores and makes the lion and the
lamb, or, rather, the jackal Of low down
politics and the milk-white dove of sham
reform, lie in the same bed. There are
good men on the Republican ticket, and
it will be hard for US to beat these.
There are bad men on the ticket, and
they are beaten already. Men and
brethren, grid yourselves for the fray,
and we shall win.

Warde Troupe.
Quite fair audience greeted the
Warde troupe at the Grand Opera House
last night. The opened with The
MOuntebank, q melo-drama of great
power, which Mr.. Warde has added to-
his repertory since he was here last. The
plot is based upon the marriage of a
saltimbanque with girl who belongs to
noble house. After they have had two
child ren, the wife is sought out by her
noble relatives and persuaded that if she
will leave her husband and go to them.
daughter. Upon this desertion the
of the "Mountebank" is very powerful
in scenes that are filed with emotional
outbursts, and that carry the audience in
sympathy with the actor. MIR. Warde
has made the role a close study, and
has succeeded in imparting to it an
intensity which could only be achieved
by a master in the art of dramatic rendi-
ton. He elevates the character of the
poor street juggler to dignity that in
vests it with an absorbing interest. He
was we'll sustained by Miss Fanny
Chester, as "Madeleine," and by the rest
of the company. Miss Gertie McGill, as
"Henri," the son OF the Mountebank,
was excellent in her boy role. This
evening John Banim's classical play of
Damon and Pythias will be presented.
Mr.. Warde's damon" is. in our estina-

her standard as great actress, the
strength of the sympathetic impression
she made, her charm of manner and ex-

People living in the vicinity of Pearl
street, below Tenth, are complaining
bitterly of the impunity with which
thieves carry off their property. There
seems to be no police protection what
ever in that part of the city. The latest
complaint we have heard of in that quar-
ter is q raid made upon porch chairs.
Two fine steamer chairs were stolen from
the porch of the house at the corner of
Pearl and Ottawa streets, last Friday
night, and q number of small things ly.
ing loose around the premises have been
appropriated. The people in that neigh
borhood think they are entitled to more
police protection than they receive. A
reward is offered elsewhere for the chair
thief.

fabulous price for it. Among tho
bagatelles of her jewel-box are a set
OF corals comprising a crown, n

most exquisite rose pink in hue.
She has also pair of diamond
sol!taires so magnificent that they are
valued at more than $4JO. 900. Ono
OF them was bought for her at tho
sale OF the effects of the Duke OF
Brunswick. She commissioned O.

The jeweler spent two years in

NICE STATE OF AFFAIRS.

There l. Now Only One Garbage Man In the
city and no Night Soil BsuIers.
The Committee on Health was called to
meet at the City Hall last evening, and as
there was a good deal OF important bust
ness before the body, it was urgent that
the meeting materialize, but a quorum
fniled to show up, and the table was left
stacked up with business. All the licenses
FIR night soil hauling expired
yesterday, and the applications
were to be acted upon and
the licenses renewed, bat they were not,
and until they are the haulers Of night
soil can do nothing The power to grant
these licenses was taken from the Health
Officer. This is one OF the results.
As the Health Officer was threatened with
prosecution by a member Of Council if he
allowed any of the garbage contractors,
against whom q complaint mad been made,
to 80 unpunished, and complaints
have been made against all
but one. their contracts are forfeited and no
garbage can be removed in their districts
until Council provides for some efficient
garbage system. Citizsns can pay for hsv-
ing their garbage removed or leave it stand
and rot. and throw themselves liable to
prosecution. Altogether the whole matter
IS in q shape that the health Of citizens is
liable to suffer, and there Is simply TO ex-
cuse for such a bungled mp state Of affairs.
The Health Committee will attempt to
meet again Wednesday evening.
