ORANGE COUNTY.

James Finley Tells why He Shot
Moulin.
SANTA ANA, Sept. Thames Finley
was up before Judge Marks today, try
ing to tell why he took a shot at J. B.
Moulin. He thinks it was necessary
to do so, or else he would have lost his
own life, but the evidence would go to
show different state of affairs. The
trial was not completed today, as there
fracas, who require the assistance OF an
interpreter. hence slow work was made
OF the taking of the testimony.
THE SENATORIAL FIGHT.
The Republicans of this senatorial
district are in pretty mess, and are in
sore distress. Speaking of the trouble,
the Herald, the head and front of the
Republican party in Orange county,
says:
"Orange county has selected seven
delegates and San Bernardino IA.
were chosen by the representatives of
the 77th assembly district, who, feeling
that justice was not done them in the
Sdu DcIudIuluO COuAty CUuNCutlOu,
withdrew and named delegate who
will ask to be seated in the coming joint
convention. 1t is an unsatisfactory
state of affairs to say the least, and
Orange county Republicans would will
ingly keep hands off and let those sec
tions settle the matter, but such ter
mination is altogether improbable, and
it will be left to the Orange county dele
CATION to undertake the task of choosing
an expedient course. Much depends
upon the wisdom of Orange county's
delegation in thus grasping the right
horn of the dilemma"
This county will offer the g. o. p. a
candidate in the person of s. Armor, at
present a supervisor in this county,
who, it is understood, would like the
office. Democrats over this way hope
he may secure the palm, for they feel
sure he could just come near enough to
securing an election, not to get there.
The Democrats here are warm in their
support of J. M. Manley, of Orange,
whom they will offer as candidate for
the nomination at South Riverside next
Tuesday.
