Los Angeles herald., 1892-09-02

in the Second, Seventh and Eighth
wards, where their curious work is most
needed by the gang. 1t is with un-
feigned regret that the HERALD calls at
tentlon to the fact that it is now in
order for the Republican party to levy
a protective tariff against the ballot-box
suffers of San Francisco, who are imp
ported here to compete with the home
grown, resident ballot-box suffers Of
Dos Angeles. The local ballot. box
stuffer and repeater does very well. He
should not be brought into unholy COM
petition with his confrere from the city.
1t would be we'll to put prohibitive
duty on him.
THE DEMOCRATIC CONTENTION.
The executive committee of the Dem
ocratic county central committee held
a harmonious meeting yesterday, which
can be beautifully contrasted with like
meetings of the Republican committee.
1t was decided to hold primary cleo
ton to elect delegates to the Democratic
county convention on September 18th.
The convention to nominate county
ticket will be held at Turn Verein hall
on September Goth. In any ward in
Los Angeles city precinct primaries can
be held, if they are desired. Otherwise
ward primaries are to prevail.
A subcommittee of six was named to
draft the call for the primaries and con-
vention, as follows: A. F. Mackay,
Stephen NJ. White, A. McNally, John T.
Gaffey, j. II. Brewer and M. @. Marsh.
In due time the call for the convention
and primaries will be printed in this
paper. There will be one delegate in
the convention from every precinct, and
one delegate for every 80 Democratic
votes cast at the last state election. This
will give over 400 delegates seats on the
floor. 1t is desired to have as large
convention as possible, in order that the
voice of the great mass of the Democracy
may find worthy representation, and be
given hearing.
POLITICAL NOTES.
The court house will be rather de-
serted today. About every officer in it
wants to be renominated, and his dep
uties want the same result effected.
They will be at the primaries, watching
the course of events. Nevertheless, the
cost of the county government will be
run on at the rate of SIP per minute.
In the.Fifth ward the Republicans held
lively caucus last evening. The mayor
and Judge Silent had quite discussion,
which was of lively character. But
when it came to the final test of strength
the Hazard end was downed. The
mayor is no longer in it at Republican
caucuses and primaries. The ticket
named last night was E. F. @. Klokke,
AL Barker. George Alexander, w. T..
Williams, Mr.. Horton, F. A. Harbert,
Ed Silent.
The Fourth ward ticket selected at
last nights caucus was as follows: j. A..
Thomas, d. Samson, w. B. Matthews,
F. Van Vleck, E. III. Barmore, M. G..
Willard, N. @. Whitehead, A. N. Fran
cisco, A. s. Joseph, 8. A. Garrett, Chas.
Forester, /. I. Walsh, s. Mcclure,
Henry Gripp, A. M. Austin, w. T. Bar
nett. M. ]. Magrew.
Look out for some spilled blood at the
Second ward Republican primary today.
All signs point to it.
Mr.. Hooker Daily, of San Francisco,
will be one of the features of the Second
ward primary today. Mr.. Daily is re-
nowned for his many special traits of
character. He is handy man at pri-
mary election.
A rousing Democratic meeting was
held at Santa Monica last evening. It
was addressed by J. Shirley Ward,
Frank Finlayson and r. ]. Adcock.
Able speeches were made, and they
were attentively listened to. The at
tendance was large, Steere's hall being
crowded with enthusiastic Democrats
and citizens of the handsome seaside re-
sort.
Capt. A. W. Barrett is making a
strong race for the Democratic nomina-
