| Judge is a Republican, and as such L am
willing to credit almost anything you
say; but that he was guilty of anything
pusillanimous, doubt. He is not that
| sort of man.
| Filibustering.
w. G. Smith, late governor general of
the was-to-be republic of Lower Califor-
MIA, has become the wan general of Ven
tura. Hear how he talks in the San
Diego Sun:
Since this morning there has been a
great deal of talk as to the best manner
of getting the desired "a votes. There
has been talk of calling mass meeting
in order to let the district know the
exact feeling here, but it was thought
best to do nothing until the delegation
returned home.
A number are determined to'charter
the steamer Mcpherson and take up
about $50 good working men to Ventura,
to help nominate Bowers. II the Nc
Pherson can be OF any assistance she

Senator Bowers leading party of fill
busters at the convention next
Thursday, will be worth seeing.

ment. Hereis the way the Republicans
looks at matters congressional:
1t seemed to be in the air to adjourn
and an adjournment was had. The act
is done. Gentlemen of the convention,
will you coolly count the cost? What
valid reason was there for your not
taking at least few more ballots? The
hour was early. 1t was but little after
8 o'clock. There were at least two
precious hours available for further bal
lots. Excuse it as you may, Fresno
county in particular, and DR.. Rowell's
friends in general, feel more
deeply over the adjournment than
they can well express. They feel that
a majority of the delegates were not dis
posed to weigh results carefully; that it
was not good politics to seemingly offer
an affront when it was unnecessary.
DIR. Rowell's friends believe, with be-
lief that cannot be set aside, that the
Republican state ticket needs DR.. Row.
ell fully as much if not more than the
ticket needed Markham. Gentlemen,
beware. Think it over calmly. There
is no disposition to offer threats, but
the facts are that the Republican state
ticket this year needs every assistance
that can be given it.
A Democratic View.
This is the way the Fresno Erpositor
sees things:
The Republicans of Kern, Tulare and
Fresno are highly incensed at the action
taken by the Republican convention of
the sixth congressional district. The
convention, at the conclusion of the six
tieth ballot, Notwithstanding the siren
uous opposition of the San joaquin coun-
ties, was adjourned to meet at Ventura,
on September 4th, at 2 O'Clock, p. m.
This was an insult to Fresno, and a
direct affront to the friends of DR.. Row
ell. Vainly did Judge Short, of the
Fresno delegation, and Taylor, of Tulare,
appeal to the convention that few
more ballots be taken before the vote on
adjournment was taken.
The friends of DR.. Rowell, the Repub
licans of Fresno and citizens irrespective
of party affinity, are highly incensed.
The convention was called to meet in
Fresno by the congressional committee
of the district to nominate candidate
for congress to be voted upon at the
coming election. The call for the con-
vention explicitly states this, and now
the people ask, why the call was not
obeyed and candidate nominated; why
adjourn the convention? Are the aspir-
ations of candidate higher and more
worthy of recognition than the welfare
of great party? Where is the presce-
dent for such course? We're the dele
gates from the southern part of the state
afraid that if they remained in Fresno
Dr. Rowell would receive the nomina-
ton?
These are few of the many questions
that the Republicans of Fresno are in
dignantly asking.
Regardless OF any party feeling in the
matter, the course taken by the conven-
ton has left sore which will be felt
next November.
How Col. Markham's Friends Talk.
The Pasadena Star quotes from the
San Diego Sun in this Style
And this is the way the San Diego Sun
looks at the present nasty political
muddle the indiscreet politicians of this
county are responsible for:
''The Republicans of this county are
quite aware that Colonel Markham s
wish in the matter OF the congressional
final with the Los Angeles delegation at
Fresno. The question of whether
Senator Bowers shall be nominated or
defeated rests with Markham, and
knowing this the Republicans of San
Diego are disposed, before ratifying the
state ticket, to await the Fresno result"
1t simply means that political trickery
and party dishonor cannot be practiced
without retribution following swiftly
and with deadly certainty.
Then comes the Star, twinkling in its
propria persona, and says:
The Republican congressional conven-
tion for this district adjourned to meet
at San Buenaventura. September 4th,
having taken sixty ballots without MAX
ing nomination. For this disgraceful
and altogether unnecessary result Los
Angeles county is wholly responsible.
without her porcine interference either
Senator Bowers, of San Diego, or DR..
Rowell of Fresno, would have been
nominated without wrangle, without
injury to Markham, and party feud
that the next ten years will not eradi-
cate, would not have been engendered,
and for which the Star is in no way re-
responsible.
Mr.. Lindley, get out and stir yourself
to some purpose, or your name will be
mud.
