Gladstone spoke at West Calder to-day.
lie referred to the result of tho Ecles
election as n forecast of the triumph of
tho Liberals i'll the coming general
election, which, if the present ratio of
gains continued, would give them q ma
jority-of ninety members.
Recurring to the Irish question. ho
objected to the name ''Separatist" as
applied to Home Rulers. Tho apDela-
ton, he said. was untrue and unfair.
There was now no question among
Liberals about removing the Irish rep
rcscntativcs from Westminster. Nor
did they propose to repeal tic act of
union. But they did propose 70 delegate
to ireland the control of local atrairs.
lie advocated the principle Of ''onc
"i'H ohc Nolt auu Slloflcr nl"tlau,entS.
Commenting upon the enormous power
workmcn now possessed, he said it
would prove beneficial as tho Judgment
OF great questions by the masses is more
enlightened than that of til, educated
classes. He would not venture a de-
clslvc opinion upon general eight hour
bill until he saw Il definite measure.
In spite of tho recent vote of tho
trades unions, Gladstone did not see
his way to consider n general Legislative
proposal. The special eight hour
miners bill was on different footing.
lie was inclined to think that eight
hours day was quito enough for
miners.
Referring to strikes, Gladstone said
that down to the present time when tho
contest between labor and capital had
gone to sharp issues of strikes and lock-
outs the laboring man had in tho main
been right. Among the means working
men ought to select in order to strength
On their position, that of legal combin-
alton was most valuable. 1t was n sound
system, and in only rare exceptions was
it harsh upon individuals. The bulk of
what working men had gained in contest
with capitalists had been through tho
iudicious use of combination. Working.
men ought not to contract tho habit OF
appealing to parliament to help them
out of difficulty by special acts Free
dom of action, reliance upon themselves
and unity of policy would lift them to
higher position as individuals and as q
class.

BRAVE GovEKNoR CAMPBELL.
His Fight With Corruption Makes Him
Stronger Every Day.

Stronger Every Day.
CINCINNATI, o., Oct. a2-The effect of
the extra session upon the coming cleo
ton is n matter that is now interesting
the politicians to very great extent.
Republican leaders here claim that
Governor Campbell's troubles with the
board of public improvements will GER
tainly elect their entire county ticket,
and that the Republican candida to for
Secretary of State, Daniel j. Ryan, will
have sweeping majority in Hamilton
county. One Congressman (Caldwell)
in the Second district has walxoyer,
the Republican majority in that district,
as redistricted, being about 1900. The
Democratic majority in the First dis
trict, as now constituted, is close to
LOCO. This, the Republicans claim,
they will very materially cut down with
their candidate, Bellamy Storer, and
his great wealth, some shrewd leaders
even going so far as TO claim that o. j.
Cosgrave, Esq. the Democratic candi-
date. will be defeated. Governor Camp
bell himself, in an Interview published
few days ago. said that the Demo
cratic ticket is defeated 50 far rs llamil-
ton county is concerned
Democrats, of course. claim that the
extra session and the present troubles
Will have no effect upon the election
They take very reat comfort from the
constant query. do YOU think these
troubles will injurc u.s." heard upon ali
sides among Democrats. and which is
taken as an Indication that ward workers
and hustlers are alive to tho situation
and will do all in their power to bring
out the Democratic vote and win the
election.
Two days OF registration have passed
and there is Il shortage Of 10000. Two
days more remain. With the exception
of one ward, the Democratic vote is more
than fairly registered, while the Rcpub-
llcan vote is very much short.
There will be many surprises in the
election. The fact is the people are
pretty well disguised with politics.
Outside of the politicians they believe
Campbell to be right. This is particu-
larly true with the Germans. and the
Republican candidates themselves are
free to acknowledge they find evidence
OF this every day in making their can
vasS, and are surprised ut the extent of
this feeling.
Throughout the State, outside this
county, politics and politicians of Gin
cinnati are looked upon with great sus-
picion on account of the amount of cor
ruption that has existed in the past.
The people here are also distrustful.
| Campbells charge of dishonesty has
led them to the belief that there is
something wrong with the members of
the board Of public Improvement, and
they haven't stopped to question
whether he is right or wrong, but laud
him for the stand he has taken against
suspected dishonesty. The fight that
has been madc'in the legislature to pre-
vent the adjustment of the board has
served to strengthen the people in the
view they have taken Of the matter.
Campbell is rcaping the benefit of this
among the people, while he is receiving
the curses of the politicians of his city
| and county.

THE LAST RITES.
The Funeral of the Late Mrs. G. Wiley
Wells,

The funeral of Mrs. G.. Wiley Wells
yesterday afternoon, at the Fort-street
M. f. church, was one OF the largest
that has occurred in this city. Mrs.
Wells was prominent member OF the
Relief Corps, an active worker in church
affairs, and had made host of friends
and acquaintances, who assembled at
the church to take part in the ceremo-
MES. The floral decorations were very
elaborate. The front of the pulpit was
faced with roses and marguerites, and
the altar was filled with callas. Around
the organ enclosure decorations of bridal
wreath flowers were arranged. The
services were conducted by Rev. r. S.
Cantine, Rev. DIR. Bresee, of Pasadena,
and Rev. J. L. Russell, OF the First
Presbyterian church, Los Angeles. Mrs.
w. +. Beeson and Mrs. j. II. Book, and
the choir OF the church, rendered the
music, and Mrs. Beeson sang "Jesus,
Lover of My SOUL" Mrs. Wells having
requested, before her death, that it be
sung at her funeral. The remains were
inferred in Rosedale.

THE FLOWER FESTIVAL.
Arrangements for the Opening Nearing
COMPLETION.


Completion.
The executive committee having in
charge the flower festival, report the ar
rangements nearly complete. All the
booths have been taken but one-the
newspaper booth. The Los Angeles Art
Association has undertaken to secure a
first-class art exhibit, and this will prove
an attractive addition. The entertain
ments have all been arranged but one
and will be announced soon. There will
be a very fair collection of potted flowers
and plants, and there seems to be no
doubt that the cut flowers will be abun-
dant. There will be a meeting Of ladies
who are willing to assist in soliciting the
flowers this morning at 10 o'clock, at
the Young Mems Christian Association
rooms. All who have evergreens in
abundance will confer a favor by defer
ring the trimming until about April
10th or 18th, and by sending word to the
committee at once. Address Mrs. j. d..
Burch, 319 S. Hill street. All who will
volunteer work in any way should send
in their names and address at once.
Thirty thousand circulars have been
printed to be distributed by friends, in
twenty different towns of Southern Cal
ifornia. These circulars claim the finest
decorative display ever attempted in
Southern California, and the ladies Of
the Flower Festival Society, who are ia
miliar with its history, after looking at
the plans, admit the justice OF the claim.

Titcomb, well-informed and substan-
tial merchant of Boston, Mass. He says:
"a few DAYS ago | received basket
of navel oranges from Los Angeles, and
| have had chance to compare them
with all of the best oranges that are
raised in foreign countries, and in Flor
ida, but the California oranges are pro-
nounced sweeter and of a very much
better flavor; / was astonished that they
were so nice. The only way | could
find out was by comparison. They COM
mand a great price here; in fact, it is
almost impossible to obtain them"
Remember this letter is from Boston,
and written ten years after we began to
ship oranges east. A little reflection on
this subject ought to convince anyone of
the great future in store for us in the
orange business. Yours truly,
j. A. GRAVES.
Mr.. Graves, in talking about oranges
to a HERALD reporter yesterday, said
that he has an eight-acre patch of seed
ling trees near San Gabriel, and that off
of these trees in the last four years, while
the ravages of the scale pests were at
their worst, he had received $l4, 900 for
the four crops. This year he has no scale
on his trees, which are all in excellent
condition He says if the present prom
ise of the trees is fulfilled he will get
$4,000 for his crop next winter. That
is, he will get 10000 boxes, and they will
be worth not less than ST box.
Mr.. Koebele, who brought the redolia
from Australia, is sick with malaria con-
tracted in that country. An effort is
being made to present him with Il purse,
and Mr.. Graves has given $50 and Mr..
O'Melveny, his partner, $40. The fruit
growers will all contribute.
