STANFORD'S SACK
Responsible for the Defeat
of Democrats.
A Seat in the State Senate
Contested.
Stanford's Testimony Wanted on the
Subject Of VOte-Buying.
A San Francisco Judge Declines to Order
His Deposition Taken Before
Leaving the State.
Associated Press Dispatches.

SAN Francisco, Nov. Ex-senator r.
j. Murphy today filed with Judge Wal
lace petition reciting that at the re-
cent election he was a candidate for re-
election to the state senate, and that he
was about to file d contest against asains ] II
Mallory, his competitor, upon the
ground that bribery, corruption and
stuffing OF the register was practiced in
the Twenty-fourth district. The petit
ton alleges that Senator Leland Stan
ford, through his agents and employees,
was responsible for his defeat. Peti-
toner also alleges that Senator Stan
ford is about to leave the state, and
that his testimony is material in the
suit which petitioner is to institute. He
asks to have the deposition of Senator
Stanford taken before he leaves the
state.
Judge Wallace took the matter under
advisement, and this afternoon decided
that the state senate is the sole judge
of the qualifications of its members !,
that the contest anticipated is not judie-
ial in It's nature, but political, and
therefore regulated by the political
code, and not by the code of civil pro-
cedure. The application to appoint
commission to take the testimony of
Senator Stanford was, therefore, denied.
On reading Judge Wallace's decision,
Senator Murphy's attorney asked to be
allowed to withdraw the petition, which
request was granted.

A Failure in Oklahoma.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Nov. 2l.-The Com
mercial bank, the largest in the terri
tory, has failed. Assets and liabilities
unknown.
The Guthrie bank belongs to a syndi-
cate, which practically controls banks
in Newton, Kan; Normal, Ell Reno,
Saltwater and Whitewater. The New
tor. bank failed yesterday. Today the
Guthrie bank suspended, and the White
water concern is in the hands OF the ex-
aminer. Nothing has been heard from
the Ell Reno, Normal or Saltwater
banks. The Guthrie banks capital was
100000; the Newton's, 100000, and
the others about the same. 1t is be-
lieved here that the assets are equal to
the liabilities.

The treasury department is informed
that 5000, 900 was transferred from San
Francisco to New York today,
making the total amount trans
ferred to date $3, 10000. These transfers
were made through the subt-reasuries
free of charge, under the privileges ex-
tended by Secretary Window, for the
purpose of facilitating the business OF
bankers and merchants in New York,
during the stringency. Complaints have
recently been made by certain San
Francisco banks against the continuance
of the practice, as tending to reduce
their available reserve and contract the
currency on the coast. Secretary Win
dom is considering the matter.

Gloomy Prospect.
Every officer ON the guard, especially
those in high authority, looks upon the
situation as very critical. To be still
more explicit, is to say that the officers
consider it next to probable that 5000 or
5000 Indians may swoop down on the
agency at any moment.
Nothing but miracle could save us
from Clusters fate," said prominent
officer, land hope to God," he added,
reinforcements will arrive before the
red devils make their break"
The Indians here in sight seem ex-
ceedingly friendly, and are trusted by
all, but it is well to keep in mind that
blood is thicker than water. Red Cloud,
who has been and is still sympathizing
with the new Christ fanatics, but is here
instead of being off at the ghost dances,
continues very sullen. He is being
keenly watched; false move, and he
will be put in irons. He seems
thoroughly bent on producing an up

Year at Marysyille.

SANTA Cruz, CAL, Nov. 21.-At the
state fruit-growers convention this
morning, committee of five was ap-
pointed to confer with similar COM

between the two organizations.

tion by unprincipled parties selling in
ferior fruit under California labels. An
essay on the grape was read by w. H.
Galbraith.
A discussion upon small fruits, by
Mrs. McCann, occupied the balance of
the session.
This afternoon it was decided to hold
the next convention in November, 1891,
at Marysville, the exact date to be fixed
by the state board of horticulture.
The passage of the customary resolu-
tions OF thanks to the citizens and Off
GERS concluded the work of the session.

A MOB BAFFLED.
Would-Be Lynchers Come to Grief in
Tennessee.

HUNTINGTON, Tenn, Nov. 21.--A mob
attacked the Jail at an early hour this
morning to get Widis, who few days
ago murdered Constable Ross and
nephew. They could not force the inside
iron door, but succeeded in breaking a
hole through it. A man named Coulter
climbed through it with revolver, and
Immediately a report was heard and
Coulter said he was shot. Sam Shelters
started in to his assistance, when Widis,
or one of the other prisoners, shot and
probably fatally wounded him. The
mob then fed. The sheriff smuggled
Widis out of town this morning. The
people are wild with excitement.

The San Francisco Chronicle continues
to attack Mayor Pond because he owns
stock in syndicate that bought the land
rights of the Oregon Wagon Road COM
pany, and this notwithstanding such
Republicans as Bakerand Hamilton and
the Judges Belcher and others, have
clearly shown the legitimacy of the
transaction and the propriety of any
body purchasing and owning stock in
the syndicate. But what is the use Of
paying any attention to the Chronicles
reiterations when we know that that
paper is perfectly Indifferent to the
truth or fafsity of it's charges, and is
determined to stick to them, right or
wrong? This is shown by the fact that
they refused to publish the vindication
of the purchasers signed by seven prom
inent Republicans who are stockholders
in the syndicate.

CONTROLLER DUNN has clearly shown
that the Republican plank, limiting the
rate of state taxation to fifty cents on
the one hundred dollars of assessment
valuation, is mere vote-catching pledge
without merit and tinctured with de-
ception. He shows that the assessment
roll OF this state has increased during
the past four years an average Of $70,-
100000 per year, so that the limit OF
fifty cents would be no economical
check at all, because as the assessment
roll increases the tax yield will increase.
The Democratic limit Of forty-five cents
on the one hundred dollars is very diff
ferent affair, for that is fixed rate ON
the assessment roll of 1889, which would
yield a little less than four and half
millions, and could not be increased.
The amount the state would raise under
the Democratic limit would pay the
states expenses for five years, against
the amount that would be raised and
expended in four years by the Republi-
can limit.

Hon. JOHN MoRLEY's account of the
outrages that occurred at Tipperary
when Dillon and O'Brien went there
for arraignment, is one that will create
the most profound indignation amongst
the English people at the brutal
methods of the Salisbury government to
rule Ireland. He showed that before
his own eyes the constabulary deliber-
ately and under orders proceeded with
out the slightest provocation to club and
maltreat the few people who had come
to the court house to witness the open
ing of the trial. This is the way Bal
four gets up his Irish riots. When Mr..
Morley, after depicting the brutal out
RACES in indignant and eloquent Ian
guage, exclaims: "No wonder they
1.-THE Irish did not respect the law" he
strikes the keynote of the deep feeling
existing in Ireland against English
rule. How can they respect the law
when the law has neither justice nor
respect for them?

THE Taxpayers of Los Angeles are
interested to the extent of $3,526 in
the controversy between Mayor Hazard
in relation to the Hooker contract to
replace the pipe in the Wooden Mill
ditch. Mayor Hazard offered to repair
the pipe so that it would last as long as
the metal itself, and convey the water
without leakage, for the sum of 500, if
the council would vote him that sum
and authorize him to do the work. The
council, however. preferred to ratify the
contract and expend the sum of IS ,526
to put in new pipe which may not last
longer than the old pipe with the
repairs proposed by Mayor Hazard.
The taxpayers of the city are so over
burdened with money that the council
can afford to throw it away in Jumps of
$3,526 at pop. The entire council is
Republican.

The indications reach us from all sides
of great rush of people from the east
to California the coming winter. Many
of these will be homeseekers, and will
come prepared to take part and lot with
us in our splendid prospects. The evil
dence they have had the past season of
what California can produce and the ex-
traordinary prices we received for our
fruits have been irresistible commenda-
tions of our country to the farmers on
the other side OF the Rockies. They
might have continued to doubt the YER
acity of our newspapers on the subject
OF our prolific soil, but the proof has
this season come to them in tangible
shape which cannot be lightly set aside.
They have seen our fruits in every city
selling at prices that would send the
value of our lands up to fabulous figures
If they were held at rate commensur-
ate with their money returns per acre.
But they will find when they
come here and make intelligent investi-
cation that twenty-acre fruit farm
can be bought at less than quarter
section of ordinary grain land can be
bought in the west, and that whilst in
the latter it is hard work to scrape a
living out OF it, here there is certain
competency for the owner of twenty
acres planted out in fruit trees or well
selected vines. These facts, when once
carefully digested, will induce our
homeseekers to set up their Lares and
Penates in the land of matchless climate
and wonderful possibilities.

THE 10 JOS.
The Republican Fight Increasing
Warmth and Bitterness.

Warmth and Bitterness.
The fight for the nominations at the
hands of the Republican convention to-
day, is very pretty one. There is not
a " cinch" for any of the important Of
fees. The number of Republicans who
have sharp knives is rapidly on the in
crease, and the g. o. p. is in a state OF
dissolution. The respectable element OF
medicine as the ring" manipulators
expected they would. wouldn't care
so much" said an old resident to HER
AID reporter yesterday :" but for the fact
that local organ comes out boldly and
sides in with the crowd which was voted
in by the most disreputable gang that
ever attended a primary in any city.
One of our citizens has a list of the ma
jority who were voted there last Satur-
day and the number of deputy con-
stables who voted is astonishing. There
were nearly twenty of them and one of
them was a judge"
A strong effort was made yesterday
to knock out both Martin Aguirre and
Jim Meredith. 1t was proposed to
shelve Martin Aguirre and run Jim
Meredith for sheriff. If the ring can be
knocked out this would mean the NOM
nation OF Jim Meredith for sheriff;
Tom Ward for county clerk; Captain
Gray for assessor and Major Donnell for
district attorney. If the scheme can
not be made go, Martin Aguirre will
in all probability get the nomination for
sheriff and Jim Meredith will have big
fight on his hand for county clerk,
as T. H. Ward is sure to be brought be-
fore the convention. The fight appears
to be very bitter one. Hervey Lindley
has his forces localized at the Nadeau
hotel and is reported to be working
tooth and toe nail for Tom Lewis for
assessor, McLachlan for district attorney
and Kelley for public administrator.
The general impression among poll
ticians last evening was that only the
first named of these candidates would
be successful. Kelley is thought to be
away ahead for recorder, while Major
Donnell is long way in the lead for
district attorney. McLachlan's chances
are jeopardized, owing to the fact that
every other man in Pasadena wants
office.
1t is an open secret that one
prominent office-holder, who is
again a candidate for the nomination,
put up the gold to purchase votes at the
primary in the Seventh ward last Sat-
urday. 1t is also an open secret that
another suave citizen who is itching for
an important Office, provided the sinews
Of war in the Third ward.
The Seventh ward is solid for the
