valuable man for the Republican party
in congress, therefore the Republicans
of the Sixth congressional district nomi-
mated him tor congress.
If there is any man who could invent
methods for disposing of the surplus,
that man must be Hon. w. w. Bowers,
state senator from San Diego county.
Republican voters of the Sixth con-
gressional district will find the journal
of the. senate of date January 9th, in
teresting reading.
1t will also show how and why tn e
Republicans need him in congress.
In senate, January 8, 1885,
Mr.. Bowers offered the following reso-
luton
Resolved, That John Brown be and
is hereby appointed as special porter to
wind the clock in the senate chamber at
per diem of five dollars, to be paid
from the contingent fund of the senate.
Mr.. Bowers moved the adoption of the
resolution which was lost by the follow
ing vote:
Ayes-Messrs. Bowers, Byrnes, Gran
dali, Frazer, Greely, Jones, Moffitr,
Pinder, Preston and Yell--1O.
Noes-Messrs. Boggs, Briceland, Pritt,
Caminetti, De Long, Dixon, Dray, Flint,
Hamill, Heacock. Hinshaw, Langford,
McComas, Mead, Meany, Murphy,
Roote, Spellacy, Sprague, Welch, White,
Williams and Wilson--23. IL Journal OF
the senate, 2Sth session, page 16.
If this was an eight-day clock, the
salary was at the rate of $40 wind.
Out in the Azusa country, DIR. Weldon,
the Republican candidate for coroner,
will not get many votes. There is a
story on the wing out there that will do
him up. A man died there some days
ago, and an inquest was held
on him. Weldon officiated on the
occasion, and summoned local
medico as an expert. The thing over,
Weldon is reported to have said to the
other disciple of Esculapius: Now Doc.
make out your bill and give it to me. 1
will 0. K. it, collect the $15 and send
you half. That is the way we do it,"
The other pill-roller looked at the
coroner and said lis it, indeed
Well, it is not the way we do it. I am
in the habit of drawing my own pay,
and have not learned to make these
DIVES, not yet"
The story is all over the valley and is
told in such way that it is believed
very generally. Republicans of the
straightest sort believe it and will vote
for DR.. Nadeau.
One Of the queer things of the cam
paign is the attitude of the Times on the
legislative ticket. That paper, what
ever it's faults, usually enjoys the repu-
tation of being halfway sincere in any
stand it takes on public matters. This
reputation, the immediate jewel of
newspaper, it is losing because of the
attitude referred to above. 1t pretends
to be antagonistic to Senator Stanford
with that proverbial hostility old Nick
is reported to entertain for holy water.
But is not this most false pretense
While it roars away at the head of the
railroad monopoly, it is doing
all it can to elect the Repub-
lican legislative ticket. In order
thereto, it. has by great effort, no
doubt, swallowed it's old-time enmity
to Walter Moore, abstains from repro
ducing those characteristic cuts it used
in 1886, gives no note like those hades-
bowling tones it delivered then, of
orgies, revels and debauches. 1t backs
Carpenter con mucho gusto, and COM
mends Marion to the attention of the
party. Now Marion is the intimate
friend of the Express people, and that
journal is lost in its admiration of the
senior senator OF this state. Is Marion
not for Stanford?

What cats averse to fish?

penter. Is there any man in the COM
munity who knows anything, who
doubts that the railroad magnate will
get his vote and voice, if he gets to the
senate? Have we all forgotten that Re-
publican love feast on Mob Hill, some
moons now wasted, when Carpenter was
the guest of the railroad senator? Were
not the notes of praise on that occasion
of the warmest sort, and the incense
burned to the magnate fresh and full of
spice? What priest of the pres
ent Plutus burned the sweet offering
more literally than the Los Angeles
lawyer? And again was not the smooth
and learned ex-judge from South Caro-
lima, the chief formulator of the resolu-
tions presented to and passed by the
Republican convention of this county
that met in this city last July? And
did not those resolutions laud and exalt
to the. skies the senior United States
senator from California? Whose flow
of language, whose erudition in general
literature, could turn those elegant
sentences SO we'll as those of the genial
Carpenter? If they were not his, he
lies under most unjust suspicion.
But all persifage aside: What sane
man doubts that If the next legislature
is to be Republican, that the caucus
nominee for the senate will be Stanford,
and that every Republican member of
that body will give him their vote? Is
not the Times working for the thing it
affects to hate?
