HON. oLIN wELBoRN.
A reporter of the HERALD spent q
pleasant half hour last evening with
Hon. Olin Welborn, OF San Diego, at his
rooms in the Hollenbeck. Thoee read
ers who have not met him have missed
the society of one of the most delightful
gentlemen that ever adopted California
as home. Personally, he is tritle
below the average height, with head
OF leonine type, lit up by pleasant pair
of gray eyes, veiled by rather bushy eye
brows. His strong and well placed
under jaw indicates resolution and ten
acity Of any proposition he may see fit
to espouse.
Mr.. Welborn said: cit looks to me
as if this election can only result in the
choice of Mr.. Cleveland. He is big
man in every sense of the term, and
the people have long since begun to
recognize him as such. Harrison's to-
tai disregard of civil service reform has
weakened his cause. On the other hand
Mr.. Cleveland game political strength
every day of his life. He is man OF
the people and, as you must be aware,
we are living in the reign OF the people.
"How do you regard your own chances
for election, Mr.. Welborn ?" asked the
reporter.
every good indeed,' was the reply.
"My district, as you know, gave Mr..
Pond majority for governor in 1890
and while Mr. Bowers carried San Diego
by quite big majority at that time, it
was largely owing to the fact that his
competitor resided elsewhere. This
time he has to meet San Diego man,
right on HE own stamping ground; and
it is exceedingly doubtful if he can carry
that county. In Orange county he will
be the third man in the race. Ny
chances regard as exceedingly good,
and never went into a battle with
greater confidence of success.".
ORGANIZING DEMOCRATS.
An enthusiastic meeting of second
ward Democrats was held last night at
the corner of Fremont avenue and
Temple street. There was an excellent
turnout, and strong club was organ
lied. Every member joining proposes
to do some active and vigorous work
for the Democratic ticket. The club
will be known as the Temple
street Democratic club. A. Davis was
elected president and W. H. Melville
secretary. a committee on constitution
and bylaws and finance was appointed
The next meeting will be held Tuesday
evening at the same place. The Aus.
tralian ballot system of voting will be
thoroughly illustrated, and campaign
literature distributed.
THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY COMMITTEE.
The new Republican county central
committee held meeting last evening,
but owing to the fact that so few of the
members were present no organization
was perfected. An adjournment was
taken until next Wednesday at 10
O'Clock. There are number of gentlemen
mentioned in connection with the chair
manship of the convention. Judge ST.
lent, Chairman Murphey, G. E. Day
and others, have all been spoken Of.
Chairman Murpbey states that he has
given all the time that he can afford to
the work of reforming the Republican
party, and that he will not accept the
craftsmanship. He cana unquestionably
get it if he will accept.
LIVELY TINES.
George L. Arnold and Judge W. II.
Savage OF San Pedro, met yesterday and
there was lively discussion in progress
for time. Mr.. Arnold accused Judge
Savage of knitting General Rollins and
nominating Lopez for county auditor,
which he did not like. The Judge, in
turn, charged Mr.. Arnold with having
been responsible for the defeat of DIR.
w. A. Weldon for coroner. The two
gentlemen talked the matter over for
some time. They grew warm and ex
cited, each alleging that the other had
done wrong. Finally, though, an end
came to the heated interview without a
fsticuff.
POSSIBLE CANDIDATE.
tits generally understood that George
w. Frame could, and would receive
the Democratic nomination for the legis-
lature from the Seventy-third assembly
district, if he would give his positive
consent. Mr.. Frames personal popu-
larity in the Ninth ward, his home,
should easily elect him. Mr.. Frame
will probably announce his intention in
q few days.
FOR CITY AUDITOR.
kr. J. A. Kelly, who has been county
recorder for the past two years, is out
for the Republican nomination for city
auditor. Though defeated for renomina-
lion as county recorder by men who
