WHEN the new court house was built
the estimates for furnishing it were
given at $50 900, and bonds for this sum
were voted by the people. A contract
was let, however, for this purpose, and
$69, ,09S. .45 was the face value of the con-
tract. Even there the rapacity of the
ring did not halt. More commissions or
"divies" upon purchases must be had
for which reason other articles were
purchased, making an increase of $14,
1919, and total cost of $S3, 3,S46 81, O,
$33,S46.64 over and above the whole
amount voted for by the people of Los
Angeles county on the 1st day OF July,
1890. In the four court rooms on the
third floor the cost of furniture was $19,-
$50. The public, at the ballot box, next
Tuesday,. will have something to say
about this transaction.

THE closing rally of the campaign at
Hazards pavilion last night was enthu-
siastic and ausplcious of success. The
speeches were opened by very effective
presentation of the local issues of the
campaign by John w. Mitchell, Esq., of
the Cahuenga. This gentleman is a
forcible and pleasing talker, and even
has the almost impossible knack OF
making "figgers" interesting. His re-
marks were punctuated by frequent ap-
plause, and his telling hits were numer-
GUS. Major George S. Patton succeeded
Mr.. Mitchell, and encbained the atten-
ton of his auditors for upwards of an
hour. His treatment of the tariff Issue
was able and exhaustive, and pleased
his auditors immensely, as was shown
by their liberal plsudits. This rising
young statesman of the San Gabriel il
making great headway as an easy, grace
full and persuasive orator.

WHERE ARE THE RECEIPTS?

Does anyone suppose for q moment
that if Mr.. Banbury had shipped the
large sum, at one time, of over half q
million dollars of state taxes to Sscra-
mento through Wells, Fargo & Co.'s ex-
press, and paid $3.50 a thousand for the
service, he would not, when challenged,
have produced the receipt or called upon
the officers of that company to verify
his claim? The columns OF the HERALD
have been proffered him from the start
to set his transactions right before the
public. He has refused to do 80. Is it
conceivable that an honest man, if he
could show that he had expended over
$4,000 for exchanges with the state
treasury, would not hasten to lay his
receipts before the public, and thus
clear himself of all suspicion? If he
has had his exchanges on Sacra'
mento from the banks for nothing, or
in recognition of his favoring them with
the deposits Of public money, what right
had he to charge the county $1.75 per
$1,000 for such accommodation, or any
other sum? If he has converted money
from the treasury into his own pocket in
this way, has he not brought himself
under the operation of the penal statute
that makes the demand by public
official of false claims from the county
government felony? We do not be-
lieve that Mr.. Banbury can show that
he has paid $4,000 or any other sum for
the transportation of public moneys
from Los Angeles to Sacramento. If he
could have done 80, he would not have
imperilled his reelection to the
Office of county treasurer by refus al
to make public his vouchers. He has
chosen to adopt the policy of silence
under these grave imputations and to
try to conciliate public opinion by
suing this newspaper for libel on the
eve OF election; but we have no idea
that this kind of bounce will prevail
with the taxpayers. What they want,
before they vote for him, is to have the
proof-the ocular proof-that he has not
been hornswoggling their money.

piratical flag. That from the day when
the big federal brigade, in desperate de.
tense OF their bread and butter rolled the
caeque and plumes of their idolized
Blaine IN the dust at Minneapolis, to the
later one when the little federal
and Union League brigade of Los An
geles, disregarding the solemn warnings
OF their own leading men, and of the
most influential Republican newspaper
OF the district, rushed in mad. haste over
the bruised and PROSTATE forms of
Houghton and Magee and Honest Harry
Hazard to place their standard in the,
hands OF the hero OF the reform school
scandal. Thousands OF old-time,
straight-laced partisan Republicans.
have been compelled to seriously ask
themselves II the time has not come
when they must at least temporarily
abandon the party and chasten it that il
may live.
How different is the position of the,
Democratic party.
From thatehour, amid the thunders Of
applause OF 10000 people in the great
wigwam at Chicago, when the Demo-
cratic party boldly announced that Re-,
publican protection was a fraud, it has
not deviated in one single solitary in
stance from that principle. aek ycu to
read the platform of the Minneapolis
convention, the speeches of Uncle Billy
Williams and Hon. William Mckinley,
and you will find that there is not one
reference to the protection of'infant in
dustries, but they all shout for the pro-
lection of American workingmen. We
charged that the effect of the Mckinley
bill was to enhance the cost of the ne
cessitles of life. How did they answer
this charge?
They said, "We don't want anything
cheap!" "a cheap coat means a cheap
man." but on the last election the peO-
pie refuted this false doctrine by a ma.
jority in the house of 170. Since then
they have changed. Now they say that
protection makes things cheap. That is
to say the way to make things cheap ia
to raise the price. Laughter.
Pilloired before an intelligent people.
abandoning their former positions, they
now ask the American people to support
them because they say, "Putting a tax
on an article makes it cheaper" and in
the same breath THAT the tariff is not
tax because the foreigner has to pay
it," and it is this false and absurd prin-
ciple that the Democratic party ask
your suffrage to defeat.
The speaker next gave many instances
OF the effect of the tariff on

ing and bitter rebuke for their treat.
ment of Marion Cannon. Continuing,
he said: "My friends, in spite of the
Express and Chronicle, can say we are
strictly in it." The speaker then al
luded at considerable length to the
claims OF MIR. Cannon on the votes of
Democrats, and outlined that candi-
dates position on the tariff, the Mica
ragua canal and the deep-water harbor,
concluding in an eloquent appeal to all
good citizens to vote the Democratic
ticket.

POOL SELLING ON ELECTIONS.
A Reminiscence OF the Great Battle
Betwee Hayes and TiIden.

A "Reminiscences OF the Great Battle
Between Hayes and Tilden.
A pool.sellipg firm in this city an
nounce that they will sell pools on the
presidential and congressional elections,
next Monday. The last recollection the
writer he's of anything of this sort was
in the famous struggle of 1875, when
Hayes ran against Tilden and got the
office after being defeated by
100000 votes. Morrissey's pool rooms
in New York presented curious ap-
pearance during that period. Pools
would be sold for hours together at 100
for Tilden against so for Hayes until
night came on. Then came an incur
sion of piungers and such betting was
never before seen. One man called out
$1,000 for first choice" and took Haves.
The Tilden ticket in that pool brought
5000.
When it became evident that the
unusual method OF e'ecting by acommis-
sion was to be resorted to, the money
was drawn down, and Morrissey claimed
his 3 per cent commission, just the same
as in dead heat of race. The parties
to this big bet refused to pay it, and
Morrissey, knowing that the courts
would not sustain any gambling trans-
actions, gave it up, though he collected
it from everybody else. All the sport
ing papers decided in his favor, among
them the Spirit of the Times, edited by
George Wilkes, who had not spoken to
Morrissey for IL years previously. The
HERALD mentions this fact for the rea.
son that neither candidate may have q
majority of electoral votes, and the case
is liable to 60 into the house of repre-
sentatives. In that event, all bets will
stand until decided by the action of
congress. The reason they were de.
clared off in 1877 was that the electoral
commission was body not contem-
plated in the constitution of the United
States.

ILLRGAL REGISTRATION.

The Democratic county central COM
mittee is entitled to great credit for the
active steps they have taken to trace up
the illegal entries that appear on the
great register. They appointed Mr.. E.
Shafer, who is the secretary of the city
committee, to give this matter a
thorough Investigation. He called
around him number OF keen men, and
they discovered that there are over
one thousand illegal registrations.
Many OF these are fancy names, and the
residences they claim have no existence.
When traced up, the numbers on the
streets they hail from were found to be
vacant lots. In some instances the stuf-
fers have actually registered themselves
as the husbands of widows, hav-
ing taken their names and
hailed from their habtation. Mr..
Shaffer found that it was too slow a
process to seek relief from the grand
jury, go he had five hundred blank war
rants printed and placed them with the
United States commissioner for dstribu-
ton amongst marshals who will be at
the polls. Whenever man attempts to
vote one of these bogus names, he will
be arrested. In this way the suffers
will be headed off. The committee and
marehals know all the illegal names
that are on the register, and careful
watch will be kept in each precinct of
all doubtful persons. The precautions
taken are OF the most thorough charac-
ter, and unless the men who have pro.
cured these false registrations take
warning they will surely come to grief.
