gotten the insolence with which Cover
nor Stanford treated a commission of
the United States, headed by such men
as Governor Pattison of Pennsylvania,
which was charged to investigate
the crooked transactions of HIM
self and his associates; nor have
they lost sight of the way in
which such wretches as Beerstecher,
elected to represent the masses, were
bought away from advocacy of the rights
of the taxpayers and patrons of railways.
As he rode in state through the streets
of Los Angeles, Stanford sat in the
shadow of great wrongs, consummated
by himself and his co-parceners.
And in the shadow of Stanford sat
Markhaml No hired clacqeuers can
bawl down the fact that this man has
not had the nerve to come forward
and meet the charge that he
defrauded his BUSINESS associates,
that he has pronounced him
self in favor of coolie over Caucasian
labor, and that he deliberately proposed
to "burke" a gentleman, Ike James,
who, he admitted, had done him Mark
ham) kindness, out of a portion of a
just debt. Posing as the flower Of
morality and decorum, this assembling
aspirant for governor figures in the role
of cursing, ribald betrayer of good
faith in business transaction which
called for integrity and fiduciary honor.
That Stanford is the nobler figure of
the two few will doubt. In him most
men will recognize the bold but amisble
liheaments Of Lambro. In the case of
Markham, however, we are treated to
the familiar but uninteresting outlines
of Tartuffe. Whatever Moliere has
portrayed of that character, or Dickens
of Pecksniff or Pumblechook, seems to
be realized in the Republican nominee
for governor. Under the circumstances,
success could not dignity him, while de-
feat would leave him so low that none
would care to do him reverence.
Meanwhile, the honest voter, ire
spective of Doodle, will proceed to de-
posit an unbought ballot, that will con-
sign both Stanford and Markham to po-
litical desuetude.

The Local "Wad'

The most striking thing at present to
those who circulate much among poll
ticians is the ostentatious prosperity of
the Republican ward workers. The
sack has attained dimensions hitherto
unknown outside of Nevada. Sack, is
perhaps msnomer. Our travelled sena-
tor is introducing eastern customs, and
the corner grocery politician of Repub-
lican faith now carries "wad." Mr..
Stauford's campaign fund has entered
the town in the form of crisp green
backs. The amount for use in San Fran
cisco is placed at 5000 That is dol
lor for every voterin the city. Assuming
the floating vote to be 5000, it means
$12 for every hoater. Times are going
to be good at AL Mites for few days.
OF course the foaters will not get any
such price as this. They will have 81
apiece and their lodging, and the bal
ance will stick to the fingers OF the
patriots who organize the "blocks Of
five." There will be many champagne
bottle cracked on the strength OF the
good senator's candidacy, even at Nc
Kinley prices.
The Democrats are heavily handi-
capped in this form OF fighting. All the
mercenary battalions are on the side of
the enemy. Mr.. Stow may not take any
particular interest in the fight that Mr..
Burns is making for Colonel Markham,
but Markham will get the benefit of the
senatorial currency nevertheless. The
purchased ballots that will go to the box
will not be scratched. On the other
side, all that Mr.. Pond can depend upon
is the unbought suffrage of honesl
men.-[S. f. Examiner.

succsssf,,l Rebellion.

Mrs. Melrose was famed throughout
the country neighborhood for her de-
cided opinions and emphatic expression
of them, and her husband, 'good, easy
man." was equally famous for his abso-
lutte docility in following her lead. Only
once was he known to protest against
her mode of government, and this mo-
mentary rebellion was mild, like him
self. A slight difference of opinion had
arisen between them about bringing up
a calf which had lost its mother.
Its got splendid white star in the
forehead, and we'll keep it," said Mrs.
Melrose cheerfully.
"Its an awful job to feed it," mur-
INJURED her husband, who knew well that
the whole duty of teaching it to drink

him.

"And l know good calf when see

you'd ruther have me do it while you

"Oh, DEAR" groaned the old gentle
man, as he meekly began tying a cloth
to the nose of the coffee pot for the
medium of the calls first meal, "some-
times l wish you wasn't SO sot, Mirandyr

expected tartness. "All / have to COM

she said gently:

Costly Fans.

OF beautiful and costly fans owned by
New York ladies one is a Chinese affair
belonging to Mrs. Frederick Vanderbilt.
It is very dream, so delicate is it's ivory

possessor of really magnificent fan. It
is composed of the finest and daintiest
point d'Alencon, with an artistic combi-
nation of leavA, and flowers. The frame
is of white figures, with any quantity Of
ornamentation in gold. It was worn

A Ghost as a Witness.

There was once "ghost in court" con-
nected with the memorable Belt case.
Since then the phantoms have not trou-
bled the high court very much. But
there is an action pending. all about
will, in which a specter forms leading
feature, and will possibly be called as a
witness. A ghost in the witness box
would cause forensic sensation of the
first order, and would "clear the court"
more speedily than the efforts of dozen
ushers. The way in which the phantom
"comes in" to this particular case seems
to be that the testator, being dissatisfied
with his testamentary dispositions, revis-
tied earth by the glimpses of the moon
told the sexton all about it. But" and
Lord Justice Bowen pertinently in
quired, "can what ghost says to a SEX
ton be taken as evidence against any
body? The legal view would be that
such testimony required substantial cor
roboration, but we know from 'Silas
Marne' that 'ghostesses do not care
about being believed in by the hopelessly
ignorant. London Telegraph.

Realism in Amateur Tramp Life.

Edward Tracy and u companion named
Gillen, Of Troy, who had been enjoying
vacation in the hop fields. stopped at
Mechanicsville on their way home and
were arrested as tramps. They were put
in the lookup, and their experience there
was so disagreeable that rather than re-
main another night Tracy pleaded guilty
in the hope of being sent to the county
Jail. To his CONSERVATION Justice Por-
ter sent him to the penitentiary for three
months. Gillen pleaded not guilty, and
tried to tell the justice that they were
more respectable than their condition
betokened. He was sentenced to the PEN
itentiary for six months for his pains.
Tracy's father heard of his sons plight,
and going to Mechanicsville interviewed
Justice Porter. The latter wrote let
ter to Superintendent Mcintyre request
ing the discharge Of Tracy. Of course
Mcintyre couldn't recognize anything Of
that kind. Mr.. Tracy then engaged
lawyer, and after much difficulty secured
his sons discharge. Albany Journal

THE Democratic voter should be par
ticularly on his guard just nov. All
sorts of bogus tickets are in circulation.
We have one now under our eye that
aims to sacrifice Pond, Gibson and a
number of other leading Democrats,
both on the state and county tickets.
For congress the name of H. G. Will
shire is substituted for that of Hon. w.
]. Curtis. Coming down to the county,
the name of Mr.. Joseph Mesmer is sub
stituted for that of Mr.. w. S. Waters
for public administrator, and that OF
Mr.. G. w. Glowner for district attorney
over that of Mr.. M. E. G. Munday. 1t is
needless to say that neither Mr.. Mesmer
nor Mr.. Glowner are candidates on any
ticket, and both gentlemen would dis
claim any intention to injure the Demo-
cratic nominee. The voter should keep
his eve skinned tomorrow.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1890.
A DEMoRALIzING SPECTACLE.

The argument of the current cam
paign, as our esteemed contemporary,
the Times, said in its issue OF yesterday,
has ended, but summaries of recent de-
velopments are still in place. The Re-
publicans Saturday night held the
boards in capital style in the City of the
Angels. The grand mogul of that party
in California such Stanford un-
doubtedly is-was on hand. When he
appeared. on the platform of the pavilion
the HERALD reporter correctly said that
he could not be heard even by those
nearest to him. The senior senator of
California is up in years, but his was
not the decadence described by the mel
ancholy Jacques in hds Seven Ages of
Man. He has not even reached the
''lean and slippered pantaloon. a world
too small for his shrunk shanks." He
spoke low probably because he had a
cold, and men in authority do
not need to roar like boatswains.
But, low as was his voice, the wave of his
hand is as resistless as was "the rod OF
Abrams potent son" in Egypt's evil
days.
Gov. Stanford came to Los Angeles
with the mission and mien of dictator.
Unbidden, there was not one OF the able
gentlemen who surrounded him on the
platform at the pavilion who would have
cared to figure in his encourage. He
came to Los Angeles, as he traversed
the whole state, in the proud conscious
ness that he can compel obedience from
men who know that they are his peers,
and possibly his superiors in intellectual
ability. While restive under the lash
behind which is fifty millions OF dollars,
they know that they must obey it or go
down. All contemplating recalcitrants
are haunted with the ghosts of Booth,
of Edgerton, and of that Estee who
now only lives to lament the
unfortunate momentary spasm of man
hood which marked him out as the
greatest and most conspicuous instance
of the vengeance of the railway.
Los Angeles has been made to minis
ter to the pride OF this imperious man,
who has been so long surrounded by fat
terers that he has almost forgotten that
he is mortal. Fanfare and ostentation,
both unlimited in quantity. and poor
and tawdry in quality, have signalized
his advent. A cheap article of myrrh
and frankincense has been burnt at his
shrine. 1t is, perhaps, some derogation
of the pomp, pride and circumstance
that greeted Governor Stanford Satur-
day night, that in all likelihood he paid
for the cheap and slavish show himself.
That the procession was gala must be
admitted. 1t must also be conceded
that many worthy and misguided Re-
publicans helped to swell demonstra-
ton which they supposed to be in the
interest of their party, but which was
really directed towards one man. A
parsonage with fifty millions of dollars
can afford thorough displays, and every
facile "piece" man of all times was at
the nod and beck of Stanford's man.
ayers to make the show Saturday
night something out of the common.
1t is said to have cost $4,000. In
our judgment the money was thrown
away. Pyrotechnics do not always con-
vince, nor does the liberal use of coin al
ways convert. The people Of this city
and county have not for moment for

Experiments, it is announced. are being

upon which it has been proposed to con-
str1ct a bridge across the straits. The
engineers engaged are M. Georges Her.

Strange Parlor Pets.

Professor Buhler, New York musi-
cal artist, now at his summer home in
Stockbridge, Mass, has a passion for
snakes. He catches all the harmless SER
pents he finds in that wild mountain re-
gion, and puts them into big close cages
in his parlor. Black snakes, striped
snakes, green ones, and so on, are his
pets. On pleasant days he takes his rep
tiles out of the boxes, fondles them and
let's them run about the room.-Philadel-

Messrs. Howard, Knott and Joy. At
this time we desire to lay special stress
on the qualifications of Max Loewenthal,
Esq, for the Office of Judge. He was
educated in the public schools of our
own state, from the primary grades
through the high school and university
at Berkeley. He then graduated at the
law school attached to that university.
Mr.. Loewenthal has been in this city for
number of years and occupies most
enviable reputation as learned lawyer
of ripe judgment. The people can make
no possible mistake in clothing him with
the ermine.
