and on Tuesday the voters will step for
ward and decide whether this county is
to have another two years of plutocratit
government or not. The indications are
certainly very bright for a decided
change for the better, and many promi-
nent members of the Union League will
start on a trip up Salt river, next
Wednesday.
CHAIRMAN LASTS OPINION.
A reporter saw Chairman @. F. A.
Last, and in reply to an inquiry as to
the prospect, that gentleman replied:
"WLy.I have said all along that we
were going to carry number OF the
county offices, but after witnessing the
Peoples party demonstration last even
ing, feel confident that we will elect
the whole county ticket from top to bot
tom, and the assemblymen thrown in."
CHAIRMAN DENIS HOPEFUL.
Chairman Denis of the auxiliary COM
mittee voiced the same sentiments, and
estimation Cleveland might get plu-
rality in the county.
Both the county committee and the
auxiliary committee have prepared a
large number of blank complaints.
These will be distributed among the
different precincts and everyone at
tempting to vote under one of the many
false names on the great register will be
promptly arrested.
In regard to this question, Mr.. Denis
said:
Under section 55l1 of the Revised
! Statutes, which provides for the punish
ment of illegal voting. oribing, etc, it is
made as criminal to bribe man to stay
away from the polls as it is to pay him
to vote. This is just what we propose
to prevent as far as possible. Under
the Australian ballot system it ia i'm
possible for the boss to know whether
his henchmen will vote the way he is
bought or not, but it is easy enough, by
referring to the list of ballots cast, to
know if he has strayed away from the
polls. We find that this game is going
to be attempted on large scale. and we
have got our eyes on some of the work
ers already and if the thing is attempted
we will have them arrested.
| AT WHITTIER.
On Friday night the Democracy OF
Whittier was addressed by Clarence A.
Miller and others. Mr.. Miller presented
the national issues in mastery man
ner and showed up forcibly and elo-
quently the iniquity of the Mckinley
bill. R. j. Adcock followed, and held
the closest attention of the audience
while he contrasted the position of Can.
non upon the Nicaragua canal with that
of the Republican party, showing that
the ownership OF the canal by the United
States was the true California petition.
He denounced the extravaganza of the
county government in unmeasured
terms, and referring to the candidates
he showed how Martin G. Marsh, with.
out one cent Of money or pay, had bent
his time and his energies to giving Los
Angeles city the best school system in
the state, while his opponent,
John G. Cline, in two years.
work made 1854 out of the
trsmps of Los Angeles, mulcting the
taxpayers despite. censures from two
grand juries and the board to eupervis-
ors. He referred in eloquent term to the
high abilities of j. De Barth Shorb and
declared that no honest Republican
should support Jabez Banbury until he
had satisfactorially accounted for every
cent of tt $4,000 charged up for ex-
change. The claims of General Hewitt,
! Frank B. Colver and other members of
| the ticket were spoken of and the ap-
plause with which their names were
greeted presaged victory on next Tues
day for the Democrats of Whittier. Mr..
Adcock has done good work for the
ticket this fall.
THAT THIRTY DAYS RESIDENCE.
"Justice" writes the HERALD as fol-
lows:
"There seems to be a prevailing idea
among the voters of this city that per-
| sOn who was voter in a precinct and
has m we'd into another precinct and
has resided therein for less than thirty
days prior to an election, has the right
to vote. This opinion is, no doubt,
based on subdivision three, of section
1889, of the political code, and which is
printed in the California election laws
as compiled by the board of supervisors
of this county. Under this section, were
it in force, voter would have that
right, but the supreme court has decided,
| in Russell vs.. Mcdowell. SO CAL, 80,
that this subdivision of section 1889,
although perfectly valid at the time of
it's adoption, it has ceased to be the law
since the adoption of the new constitu-
ton, with which it ia in direct conflict
This is an important matter and the
election officers should see that no per-
son is allowed to vote unless he has been
a resident of the precinct for 80 days
Immediately preceding the election"
