VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS.
state Ticket Nominated and
NtrOng Platform Adopied.


RICHMOND, Va, August l5.-The State
Democratic Convention met at 10 O'Clock
and proceeded to take second ballot
for Governor. Before the roll-call was
completed Captain Phil w. Mckinney
was nominated by acclamation. The
convention then nominated j. Hoge
Tyler for Lieutenant Governor by &C.
clamation. A recess was taken till 4
o'clock.
Upon reassembling. the convention
nominated for Attorney General, r. T
Scott, of Fsuquier. Basil B. Gordon, ol
Rappahanock county, was elected Chair
man OF the State Central Committee. A
platform was then adopted and the con.
vention adjourned sine die.
The platform opens with the declara-
ton Of the people of the State, that
through the wise legislation and admins
tration OF the Democratic party, the pub
lie schools have been preserved in
efficient operation and their accommoda
tions extended that the resources neces-
sary for the conduct of the Government
in all its departments have been secured.
The platform closes thus "We oppose
the Republican party as the party Of high
taxes, OF corrupt and extravagant ex.
penditure of the public revenues, of un.
just and oppressive treatment of the
people of the Southern States; as the
creator of trusts and the promoter
OF monopolies. We oppose the Repub-
lican party because it has stirred up
strife between the races, and has been a
false friend to the colored race and an
enemy to the white race.n

THERE is something decidedly un-
fortunate in the way officials of the Re-
publican party in Los Angeles county
have been in the habit of administering
public trusts. To many of them there
has been something very fascinating
in the word defaloation, and even
the graver terms forgery and en-
bezzlement are not without their
charms. 1t is to be hoped that there
will be no lukewarm efforts on the part
of certain public officials 10 ferret out the
true inwardr ess of the shortage in the
office Of Mr.. Montsfl flo. Lauterio should
be encouraged to tell the truth, and moi
bulldozed into keeping his mouth shut
Rumor goes very directly up to certain
officials who are said to be particepi
criminis in the diversion of the county
moneys to personal use. A fine oppor
tunity is offered to District Attorney
Kelly to stand in with the people. He
should avail himself of it, and moi
lay himself open to the suspicion
of being willing to whitewash his party
associates. We assure him that the tax
payers are at last aroused, and that they
will be hostile to the point of vengeance
against any one who shall countenance
any concealments,s or who shall fail to
carry out both the spirit and the letter
of the law. There is really something
very dispiriting in the way that, time
after time, the county funds have beer
tampered with. In "boom" times the
taxpayers were ompa1atively indifier'
ent. A few thousand dollars more OF
less made very little matter, but now the
times are changed. With Orange county
Topped off from Los Angeles, with the
State and county taxes threatening te
amount to two per cent, the voters will
tolerate no foolishness. They want tc
know what has become of their money
even if the irquiIy should result in the
immurem ent of certain Republican off
cials ia prison walls.

proposition down. Were the board wise,

such boards ought to be, they would de-
clare themselves as in favor of providing

Hollenbeck and Mrs. Julia Beneon will
respectively take sewage for 118 and 1861
acres. Here are 1924 acres of land ready
to receive the sewage of this city. The
South Side Irrigation Company now irri

1,700 acres more by extending their flow
to the Tweedy ranch. So that there are
10,024 acres Of land now taking ant

City Engineer has estimated that 5 COO

The arbitrary attempt to raise the as.

THE arbitrary attempt to raise the as

of very natural indignation. 1t has COM

taxation in both tie city and county. Il
is really rem arksble the way the ducats

expenses in some CT the offices have in.
creased enormously, and we are in
foimed that sinecures are growing at an
alarming rate. To give an instance We

marked instance of how to throw away

We shall detail reporter to investigate
this matter. But, whether it is true OF
no, the multiform way in which money,
city erd county, is expended is enough
to make the judicious grieve, and the
parties who pay the taxes smart. II the

lively interest in our harbor at San Pc.
dro. In order to act intelligently when
the question of appropriation comes up,
he yesterday made tour of inspection oil
the harbor. Elsewhere in the HERALD
will be found an interesting report OF his
visit. 1t seems that Senator Allison,
when he returned to Iowa, after
he had . visited Los Angeles
with the Senatorial Committee,
had spoken in such glowing terms of Los
Angeles and her possibilities that Mr..
Conger was induced to come here to zee
for himself. Mr.. Conger says that the
other Senators were equally enthusiastic
about our section when they returned,
and by their glowing descriptions of our
matchless country they excited the Curl
osity of great many Eastern people,
many of whom will pay our place visit
next winter.

In ToDAY's issue of the HERALD the
Board of Education submits its reasons
for building the High School at the gate
of the old City Cemetery on Fort hill.
The HERALD has opposed the erection OF
this building on this site, and the people
are greatly opposed to this proposed
action of the board. The people are op-
posed to the building of a High School
at a cost of even $50, 900 on the site pro.
posed at any time, and of High School
OF that or of greater cost at this time on
any site. The reasons on which these
objections rest are wisely conceived. The
board, in the article referred to, con-
fesaes that it finds great difficulty in
taking care of the children of this city in
its common schools. 1t also confesses that
there are objections to the site chosen
but pleads for it on the ground that it is
0btainable for nothing. At this time the
taxpayers are called upon to grade
streets, to lay sidewalks, to build sewer
system, TO finish City Hall, to erect a
County Court House. The money de-
mand is very heavy. At the same time
there is q crying demand for more
schools of the primary and grammar
grades, and the schools ought not to be
closed for 30 long period as three months
in the summer season. They ought to
reopen September 1st. The site chosen
for the High School is very Objectionable
on many accounts. One of the best
reasons for not selecting it has not been
named. 1t is this All the children who
come by car to attend the school must
alight at the Intersection of the three
busiest streets in the city, most danger
ous point for them to do so. The school
bonds as general proposition ought to
