UNCLE BILLY CLAYTON.
The Jailor of the City Prison Joins
the Majority.

the Majority.
William Clayton, for three years past
jailor of the city prison, and familiarly
known to large circle of acquaintances
in Los Angeles as ''Uncle Billy" died at
his residence, No. 251 North. Hope
street, yesterday morning, of pneu-
monia, after an illness of four days.
Clayton has had an eventful career.
He was born in Manchester, England,
about the year 1888. Coming to the
United States when quite lad, he soon
joined the army, and was stationed at
San Fernando de Toas, New Mexico,
with the First dragons, under Major
Blake. In 1866 or 1856, he came with
his company to California, and was hon.
orably discharged at Fort TETON soon
after.
He then came to Los Angeles, and
worked at his trade. that of painter,
in this city, several years, moving later
to San Francisco. Here he became a
boss painter, and entered into politics,
acquiring large influence among the
workingmen. At the time of the aequi-
sition of Alaska he received an appoint
ment in the commissary department of
the troops sent 10 that territory, ana
lived in the far north until the troops
were withdrawn.
Returning to San Francisco he re-
entered politics and, after working hard
in the support of Kallock, the working
mems candidate for mayor, became the
private secretary of that gentleman af-
ter his election, serving throughout his
entire term.
Shortly after this, Mr.. Clayton re-
turned to Los Angeles for the benefit of
his health, and has lived here ever since,
He leaves a wife and two grown children
and will be much missed by wide cir
Gle of friends.
The funeral arrangements are not yet
complete, a telegram being awaited
from Mr.. Clayton's son, who resides at
San Francisco. A large part or the po-
lice force will attend the funeral, as will
also the police commissioners in body.

A Few Words About Town Meet

A Few Words About Town MeettnGs
. g in General. &
To the Editor OF the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Talk about the last town meeting not
being success. It's result alone proves to
my mind that it was great success, since
the effect of the meeting was in the call
which was in accordance with the laws Of
the state, the freemen, all sovereigns in
their own right, appearing at the ap-
pointed time and deciding by their vote the
matter in question. We are told it was .:
noisy affair. That may be since the sover-
eign people are the only power in the land
with no earthly being over them to dictate
how they shall word theirlanguage or con-
duct themselves. .- ~
It must be expected in all communities
where the people rule that different opin-
ions will exist and be expressed by those
interested. One man may be of a nervous
temperament and another just the oppo-
site, and when discussion comes up they
may differ widely, as is their just right.
The nervous mans voice may climb up to
high key, as we often observe in court or
large assemblages when the speaker be-
comes embarrassed.
Ibis may SCdTG duOCu6T dAU dnOtAoA I'LL
| til several are talking all at once, as illus
trated in the town meeting referred to
above which, if the moderator allows, leads
| to tumult in the opinion of the first lis
tener. ALI this may be called disgraceful
and may be SO, but who has brought about
| the Disturbance None but freemen who
have right in their own way to talk and
| act, according to the education they pos
| sess and the ideas their creator has seen fiji
| to endow them with.
Let us compare a Connecticut town
meeting with city election. Listen to the
remarks of this or that man on the street
| in regard to the nominees; observe the
"roughs'' who frequent the polls on cleo
ton day. Often is intimidation produced
by what this or that man said or done
often do blows follow and perhaps agen
eral melee of contending factions. Com
pare these election scenes and see if it vii
not convince you the balance turns il
favor of the town meeting. The talk ane
excitement at the town meeting show {
spirit and power for acting which canno
be put down, nor allow measures to b.
passed which are not in full sympath,
with the law. It shows that the tow
meeting is it's own master, and run by
any petty efforts Of political Vaccinations
How about the disturbance which do man.
time arise in meetings of railway corpo
rations, yes, even in church meetings
Would not the procedure of the tow
meeting often times put them to blush
for orderliness and quiet harmonys Nc
Don't throw stones at the town meetin
which has been such an important institr
ton to our country for the past $50 years
Stand by your town and town meetingi
and don't believe the people are asleep.
