HE BoBs UP AGAIN.

ID. Gilbert Dexter Lectures in San Fran
cisco ON Reform.
He is plain d. G. Dexter now in San
Francisco. Some years ago he parted
his name in the middle, with the G
spelled out to Gilbert. A great many
people remember him yet, most OF whom
belonged to the Mutual Benefit associa-
ton, of which he was general manager.
The association went into desuetude,
perforce of getting into the grip Of the
courts in San Francisco. 1t disap-
peared, but the ever-smiling, dex-
ferrous Dexter, who always raised
his ready voice in the course
of any and all reforms, momentarily
took header and disappeared from
public view. He remained in San Fran
cisco, the council here dropping him
out of the police commission, of which
he was q member.
Nothing has been heard from Mr..
Dexter, in the papers, for several
months, a long time for him to keep
quiet, but on last Tuesday evening he
bobbed up serenely and got into the col
umns of the Bulletin, as president of a
Congregational club, giving lecture, of
course, on Reform, municipal reform in
this case. He told how such happy
condition of things could be brought
about, and made very strong plea for
purity in politics.

A HERALD reporter had an interest
ing conversation last night with one of the
recently appointed registration clerks.
He said that about half the voters, ac-
cording to last years registration, have
been registered up to the present time.
He also said that the number of mis-
takes which have been made by the
horde of deputies turned loose in the
city, is something immense. In one
case out of 115 registrations made, there
were ninety mistakes. He said also
that there is a very serious feeling of
anxiety on the part OF the citizens who
have been registered, to know whether
or no they have properly registered, SO
that they will not be disfranchised on
the day OF election. Every day people
come to him and ask him questions
about the registration, showing their un-
certainty in the matter. All the men
who were appointed with carte blanche
in this city, have not stuck by their jobs,
he remarked. When asked the reason,
he replied that they could not see any
money in persistent sticking to places
where they were obliged to come into
such direct and comprehensive competi-
tion as had resulted from the appoint
ment OF SO many deputies.

There has never been, in the history
Of the Democratic party, brighter pros
pect for national victory than exists to-
day. There are two aspects Of the pres
idential question. either Of which carries
hope to the hearts of every intelligent
Democrat. The first is the almost abb
solute certainty of the overwhelming
triumph of Cleveland and Stevenson in
the popular vote and in the electoral
colleges. The last hope Of Republican
success in any Of the states OF the south
has been dissipated by the Democratic
victory in Alabama. That state, with
its incipient Pittsburg, in the shape
of the American Birmingham, had
been confidently counted upon by the
Alliance, or what is now known az the
Peoples party. Itwss thought that, as
the issue was not directly presidential,
Alabama might wander from the fold.
The fact that the Democracy has held
Alabama on local election is con6rma-
ton sure as proof OF holy writ that that
commonwealth viii be as true as steel
on the national issue. With the
failure to carry Alabama fades into thin
air all hopes Of carrying any other
Southern state. The outlook for
Los Angeles herald., 1892-08-12

Cleveland and Stevenson lie most graft
tying in the eas tern and middle states.
The loyal adhesion of Senator David
Bennett Hill and of Tammany secures
New York to the Democratic roster
without a peradventure. New Jersey
always goes Democratic. Connecticut
is sure to vote ae New York does. Mas
sachusetts, which commonwealth has
twice elected Democratic governor,
and consecutively, looks surely Dem
ocratic. Wisconsin and Illinois are
at least Observation-Disclosures to be 60 by
the Republican leaders themselves.
Recent events in Pennsylvania, and the
energetic leadership of Secretary Of
State Harrity, puts even the keystone
state in the list Of doubtful common
wealths. The electoral votes of Michi-
gan will at least be divided.
These are, in brief, some of the cir
cumstances that would lead any dispas-
sionate observer to look for splendid
victory at the polls for the Democratic
ticket. There is nothing roseate in such
forecast of the coming contest.
But Mr.. Cleveland's case is strength
ened by the fact that events are so
shaping themselves as to clearly indi-
cate that, whether be shall carry or fail
to carry majority of the electoral col
leges, Mr.. Harrison certainly cannot
carry those bodies. He will lose Ne
braska, Kansas, probably Iowa
half of Michigan, Colorado, New
York, quite possibly Indiana. i
he loses considerable proper
ton of the votes of those states
he loses the election, which consequent
ly goes into the house of representative
the present house-in which. count
ing the votes by states-the method pro
vided by the constitution of the United
States-the Democrats have majority
of nine. OF course, this means the in
evitable election of Mr.. Cleveland OF
this dernier resort.
Under the circumstances, why shoule
not the heart of every Democrat bea
high? As a matter of fact, nine inte'1
gent Republicans out of ten admit tAs
election of Mr.. Cleveland by the one
arbitrament or the other.

IT may be question as to whether
the taxpayers OF Los Angeles like to be
robbed, either through the medium OF
County Clerk Trowbridge II. Ward, or
any other Republican official. The flip
pant jeers Of the Express have in no
whit obseured the proposition that a
clear steal of $2500 has been perpetrated
in the matter of printing the great reg
ister.. ii the taxpayers tamely submit
to this insolenee Of the tax-eaters, there
is no saying where the imposition will
stop. The question is, should it be toll
Grated? Ought not some public spirited
citizen to apply for an injunction :?
While Mr.. Ward may have the techni-
cal right to defraud the taxpayers by
arbitrarily giving a largess of from $4,000
to $500 to the Express, without asking
for any bids, have not the taxpayers a
right to the restraining processes of the
courts? We think they have, and we
hope that some public-spirited citizen
will exercise that right. 1t is case of
either protection from the courts, or the
organization of citizens committee.

IT is very much a question as to
whether public journal, in any of its
departments, should be made the me-
dunn of mere personalities. The HER
AID has always studiously aimed to be
decorous and ceremonious in this re-
spect. In yesterdays issue of the Ex-
press there are innumerable references,
personal and offensive. to the editor OF
this paper, who 10 personally very un-
obtrusive gentleman, who seeks no no
toriety, and who generally contents
himself with references to public ques-
tions, or to the merest illusions to per-
nonalities when they are cognate to the
matters under discussion. This course
has been pursued by him after long and
careful pondering n the rights--and,
mark you, the desirable immunities-of
readers, and he very rarely intermits
this rule. But If any callow scrub, redo
lent of provincialism, thinks that any
thing but feeling of respect for his
readers influences this gentleman, we
pity his ultimate awakening. For a
genuine blackguard rejoinder to pub-
lie issue we commend the folio wing.
which we take from yesterday evening s
Express:

sonality Of Mr.. Lynch to do with the

and was formal notice to Salisbury

absolutely master of the situation.

QUEER MANAGEME ENT.

It was not to be expected that the man
ayers of the worlds fair in Chicago would
not make mistakes, but it might fairly
have been expected that they would see
that the educational interests of the
country were at least as much entitled to
notice as cattle and pigs, which are to be
on exhibition. But from the first those
managers have made queer W ork with the
education exhibit. From the first, also,
there has been complaint of those who
could see the Importance of having a COM
plete education exhibit. And when, after
being assigned space on the main floor of
the manufactures building in one corner,
the education exhibit was summarily
hustled up into the gallery of the building
to make room for more soap and candles
the revolt began to take on formidable
front. A second protest was drawn up and
signed by representative.men asking for re-
consideration on the subject and personal
appeals were made by distinguished educa-
tors In reply to this renewed attempt to
make the authorities see the true dimen-

of directors told the education representa-
tives that if they would buy $3.50, 900 or
more of the stock they could have build
ing. This was a rather astonishing propo-
sal, as Director General Davis had previ-
ously declared that an education building
could not be put up because there remained
no more room on Jackson park for any
building.
There is now going to be protest that
will be heard. A call has been signed by
the superintendent of schools in Chicago,
Albert q. Lane; by the president of the
| University of Chicago, DR.. William R.
Harper; by the superintendent of public
instruction of Michigan, Ferris S. Fitch,
and by W. N. Hailman, director of the
Indiana education exhibit, for a meeting
of superintendents Of public instruction,
presidents of higher education institutions
and others of representative rank in Chi
csgo October 4. This meeting should and
probably will be we'll attended. It is i'm
portant that the education exhibit should
be complete and well displayed. And i
should of course include a model of oul
new High School building.

mERWIN AND KELLOGG.

MERWIN AND KELLOGG.
The voters In this part of Connecticut
may well seriously ask themselves this
year If it is not their duty to put parti-
sanship aside and vote, regardless of petty
and hidebound politics, for Samuel E. Mer-
win and Stephen W. Kellogg. There was
never more reason for such action. Here
is General Merwin, nominated the second
time for an Office which it is now certain,
according to the decision of the supreme
court, he should have had the first time.
He has been deeply wronged. He has
borne himself during the long and trouble
some contest with patience, dignity and
careful regard for law and order. Now
have not General Merwin's friends and ad-
mirers in the region where he has lived
and worked, a special reason to help give
him the Office which, as is now plain, be-
longed to him9 Should partisan considera-
tions be the ruling influence in such case
as this, or should considerations of right
and justice have sways
General Kellogg has been nominated to
represent this district in congress because
it was known that, if elected, he would be
thoroughly capable, efficient and useful,
and because the business interests of the
district call for congressman who is we'll
acquainted with them and who is be-
lever in the policy that has helped build
them up. His candidacy should not be
looked at in a partisan way. This
district doesn't want a free trader
representing it in congress. 1t doesn't
believe that protection is a fraud. It
knows better, and the evidence be
seen in all it's busy factories. Why, then,
should employers or wcrkmen, and especi-
ally workmen, who are profting by pre-
lection vote for free trader, simply be-
cause he has the Democratic label on him.
Is it wise to try to help anybody to hurt
the prosperity of the district for purely
political reasons. One vote such as Mr..
Kellogg would give and one such man as
he is may be very much needed in the next
congress. This district can't afford to fail
to send him there.
Strict psrtisanship has Its uses, but
when wrong is to be righted, and the
prosperity of the people preserved, it
doesn't always work well.
