Southern California solid for the white
PIumed knight.
Ex-senator I. j. Carran, a prominent
lawyer of Los Angeles, formerly Of Ohio,
who is now at the Palace Hotel on a visit,
expressed himself to CALL reporter last
night respecting the political outlook for
the next Presidential election thuswise:
Southern California is emphatically for
Blaine, and provided he would &C cept the
nomination w"uid vote in solid phalanx
for the White plumed Knight. The feeling
down there is to force him to withdraw his
letter OF defamation, and if that could be
achieved be may count upon every Repub-
lIcan heart in our South.
After Blaine cur choice Is Governor Nc
kinley- President Harrison is nowhere
The mass of our people admit that his adj
Binisirati6n was good and conservative,
but no one IN Southern California seems to
take kindly to the idea of his reelection,
His name will not be received with enthusi-
asm at our political conventions, you may
be sure. The Republican pulse has been
felt lately al Union League meeting, when
the mention oil his name was passed under
absolute silence, while Blaine's name was
received with y0cferous applause, and that

satisfied that delegates from my part Of
California viii vote for anybody rather than
Harrison, but, barring Blaine, Mckinley

Colonel Harrison Grey Otis, the editor of
the Times. is general favorite for the
candidacy of delegate at large, and he
stands good chances of success He has
been called a Mugwump and all that, and
made political enemies, but everybody, his
opponents included. know him as an honest
man, and he IS not for Harrison. His first
choice is Mckinley. A good many names
have been mentioned for district delegates.

A Runaway.

Thursday afternoon a horse be-
longing to Mr.. Carter Hales, of Belle
point, attached to heavy Tennessee
wagon, took fright in South Frank
fort and ran away. Near the corner
of Second and Bridge streets the
wagon struck road cart containing
lady and boy. Both occupants of
the cart were thown out and badly
bruised, but had no bones broken,
and the cart was considerably dam
aged. The horse continued his mad
race around the river road and into
Bellepoint as far as McDaniel's
stable, where he was stopped. The
only damage done to the wagon was
the breaking of shaft. Almost the
entire distance over which the horse
ran had been filed with vehicles,
bringing the people who attended
the base ball game back to town,
only few minutes before, and had
the runaway occurred sooner there
is no telling what damage would
have been done.

the scene of one man, under the in

while officers Of the law stood by
without arresting and locking him
up, as was their sworn duty. This
was not the first time this week, nor
this year for that matters, that
similar scenes have been enacted up.
on our streets, and the law-abiding
citizens would like to know from the
Police Commissioners why it has not
been stopped. Do they propose to
keep men on the police force who
will only arrest negroes for 'shoot-
ing craps" or some harmless country
man for shouting on the streets, or
will they give us officers who will do
their whole duty and arrest all viola
tors of the law, regardless of who
they are or what their condition in
life? If the former they had better
resign in body, but if the latter, the
tax payers would like to see them
"get a move on themselves" in that
direction.
