POLITICAL MATTERS.
DEMOCRATIC CLUBS WORKING
HARD FOR VICTORY.
The Democratic County and Auxiliary
Committees Hold Meetings-Po-
litical Notes and
Gossip.

There was good deal of hard work in
hand about the headquarters OF both
political parties yesterday. The Repub-
lican bosses are beginning to appreciate
the magnitude of the task cut out for
their party this fall, if the Union league
vampires are to be kept in office; while
the Democrats are spurred on by the
bright prospect of the probability OF
oustipg these same county officials, who
are trying so hard to keep body and soul
together on miserable stipend OF $l2
per minute.
Both sides are bending all their efforts
towards organizing plans for the cam
paign, and in a few days this will be ac-
complished, when the fun will begin in
| earnest.
The Democratic county central com
mittee met yesterday morning at Tam
many hall, for the purpose of electing
officers. As predicted in yesterdays

evening, at their hall, No. 2l9 Requena
street. W. H. Jukes presided, assisted
by M. G. Haustan vice-president, and
| s. @. johnston secretary.
The following resolution was adopted
and signed
We, the colored Democrats OF Los An
geles county, state of California, have
assembled ourselves together in order
to form more impartial government
! for the protection of the colored voters
| as American citizens.
And, whereas, we believe it is the in
terest of the people at large for us to
leave the Republican party. and sup
port the Democratic party, for holding
the colored voters as political slaves, for
setting race against race, and turning
away from us in the time of need, for
! ignoring us after the election, we, the
undersigned members OF the Democratic
party, do hereby declare ourselves free
from the Republicans, and turn away
from them with shame and disgrace,
and seek protection in the Democratic
ranks now and for all ages to come.
Now, therefore, be it
| Resolved, that because we are law
abiding citizens, and not moved here
by the mere lust of office, but for re-
spect for our future generations, we
leave the Republican party, and will do
all we can in any wav to defeat the said
party on November s, 1892.
There were several white Democrats
present. Mr.. Colver was the first to
a idress the meeting, and was applauded
by all. Mr.. G. G. Brown made a few
closir G remarks, which were highly ap.
preciated.
Bob Stewart, the Republican candi-
date for constable, was present ana
wanted to make an address, but did not
meet with warm welcome.
