WORKING FOR a RELEASE.

Friends of Harry e. Fiann Are Hopeful OF
Securing a Presidential Pardon-Aided
by Influential Citizens-The Young Man
Is a Model Prisoner.
Harry E Flann is still in the Western
penitentiary serving out the i've years
sentence inflicted on HIM almost three
years ago for robbing the Marine National
Bank. As exclusively published in yes
terday's DISPATCH, movement is on foot
to obtain his release, and everything
possible toward that end is being done by
both relatives and friends.
Mrs. Kilgore, the mother of Flann's wife,
with the aid of Attorney Porte, are doing
everything in their power to secure Flann's
release. The former has made numerous
visits to Washington and elsewhere in the
interest of her son-in-law. She has seen
among others and enrolled in the cause
Congressman Dalzell, Mayor Gourley, Chief
Brown, Colonel Stone, Mr.. Graham, Mr.
Witherow, United States District Attorney
Lyons, G. L. Magee and number of promi-
nent citizens On the occasion of her last
visit to Washington a meeting had been
arranged for her with President Harrison,
but Mr.. Dslzell thought the time inoppor-
tune. Since then herself and Mr.. Porte
have been doing their pest TO Drlng tne
proper amount of influence TO bear upon the
President to have Harry Flann released.
Mrs. Kilgore wonders yet why the bank
officials did not detect their loss before
three years The boy was only IL years
old she saws, when he entered the service of
the Marine National Bank, and to think
that in the course of two and half or
three wears he could have taken
$50, 600 without the amount being missed
is more than she can understand.
He will have served three years in the
penitentiary on the first of next October,
and this term, with the nine months CON-
mutation allowed for good behavior, would
reduce the sentence to a year and a quarter.

whitney Claims New York, Indiana and
Even Wisconsin.
Ex-senator Whitney has been inter-
viewed on the subject Of Cleveland's e
prospects, and says:
'Our canvass was very careful one,
and credit is due the gentlemen associ-
ated with me for their loyalty and good
work. The opposition was very bitter,
but think we treated It with such con-
eideration that all dissensions will die
out before the election. We are all
Democrats, and believe the people will
be with us. Cleveland will be elected
by rousing majority. New York will
give him greater plurality than has
been awarded any president of late
years. The electoral votes of Indiana,
Connecticut, New Jersey and Wisconsin
and majority of those of Michigan will
be counted for us. At no time were we
doubtful as to what the ultimate result
would be. From the first we had $50
votes pledged to stand by Mr.. Cleveland
until he was nominated. The campaign
on the lines set forth in the platform
will be an aggressive one. You need
not have any fears for Tammany. The
organization is Democratic, and its great
influence will be felt in New York. The
organization is great enough to bury all
disappointment and join in the march
to victory"
Los Angeles herald., 1892-06-27

THERE has been considerable curiosity
to know how Dana, of the New York
Sun. would treat the nomination of
Cleveland, with whom he has been at
personal daggers' points for the past
several years. Dana is as set in hia an
tagonisms, and as vindictive in gratify-
ing them, as he is able and sensational
in the use of trenchant and lancinat-
ing rhetoric. 1t was Dana who fastened
upon Cleveland the nickname of "stuffed
prophet" and, although the soubriquet
is clear misnomer, and one that in no
sense applies to the ex-president, yet it's
novel sound and the touch OF vitriol in
it has made it stick. The day after the
nomination at Chicago the Sun had
several editorials about the proceedings
of the convention, but the only one
which shows Dana's preference TOR the
Democratic ticket is that in which he
treats of the danger OF force bill if
Harrison should succeed. Here is a
portion of the article, and we have no
doubt that, ungracious and acrid as it
is, it cost Dana great pang to come to
it:
The question is whether those south.
ern states, which have inherited negro
population surprising the number of
their white citizens, shall, by federal
law and military force, be subjected to
the political domination of negroes, to
negro Legislatures, negro governors and
negro judges in their courts, Or whether
they shall continue to be governed by
white men as now. 1t makes no differ
ence who may be president whom the

THE confirmation OF the selection of
the Seventh and Mission streets post
Office cite in San Francisco by Harrison's
administration has failed to bring out a
single yawp from the San Francisco
press, which was filed with just de-
nunciation of the gigantic swindle for
months before the final acceptance.
Their acquiescence by silence in the
shameful job does not alter the facts
they advanced against the deal prior to
its consummation. It was in every re-
spect most shameful bargain between
the administration and ring of San
Francisco boodlers. The government
gives 81 ,040, 900 for piece of land which
any private individual could have pur-
chased for half million. The charge
made by the San Francisco press that
the site was sand-covered swamp,
which was not fit to sustain heavy
structure, was investigated by special
agents from Washington and found t o be
true, whereupon Harrison's officials at
once approved and accepted the selec-
tion. This gigantic swindle will yet,
like chickens, come home to roost
with the party that brought it about.

ADJUSTMENTS. A

The Witch, which was the principal
dramatic success in New York. last sea-
son, will be given at the Grand opera
house the first three nights OF next
week, including matinee on Wedpes-
day. The play has for theme the witch
craft superstitions in Salem, Mass, and
on this background has been constructed
story of SURPRISING interest and
power. The press OF New York. Phila-
delphia and other cities where the play
has been seen pronounces it great
dramatic work. and pays glowing tri-
butes to Marie Hubert Frohman for her
superb rendering of an exceedingly diff
cult part.
The souvenir spoons to be presented
to the ladies on the lower floor next
Monday evening, on the occasion of the
425th performance Of The Witch, are of
silver, and bear on the handle the
raised figure of witch, the word
"Salem," and three witch pins of the
same size and shape as those now pre-
served in the Salem court house.

IT WILL be we'll to keep the, Columbian
exposition free from the taint OF lending
itself to private enterprises or of becom-
ing an advertising medium. We may
be pardoned for observing that news
papers present the very best possible
means of bringing commercial matters
to the attention of the public. Local
associations and committees will find
themselves the object of many schemes
for advertizing, disguised under q show
ing of disinterested interest. This great
exposition should be conducted in dig
niied, business-like manner, devoid OF
meretricious methods. and avoiding
connection with private interests. Ii
anyone wants to offer any competition
in connection with the worlds fair,
which is calculated to be of service to
the person making the proffer, the col
umns of the daily press offer excellent
opportunities. That is our business,
but it is not the business of Worlds
Fair associations or committees.

OUR WORLDS COLUMBIAN FAIR ILLUS.
TRATRD EDITION.

The HERALD will issue worlds Co.
lumbian fair edition of the ILLUSTRATED
HERALD. Arrangements have been
made with the most finished artists in
America to insure the greatest perfection
of detail to the illustrations. A quarter
of a million copies OF this matchless
publication will be issued. 1t will be
printed on heavy book paper. and will
be distributed by uniformed boys during
the progress of the exposition, and the
distribution will be under the direction
of an intelligent superintendent, who
will see that each copy shall 60 where it
will do the most good. 1t will be de-
voted to Southern California, every por-
ton of which will be treated impair
TALLY. In few days accredited agents
of the HERALD will start out on the
work of canvassing the people in the
interest of this mammoth enterprise.
Those who can contribute advertising
patronage are expected to do 30, while
almost anybody can subscribe for copies
to be either mailed east by themselves, or
distributed at the worlds fair through
the HERALD's agency. There is no rea-
son why the greatest boom ever known in
the history of Southern California should
not follow in the wake OF the Columbian
worlds fair. It is the mission of the
HERALD to see that this shall be the
case. The high standard of previous
editions of the HERALD is a guarantee
that this supreme effort will be OF excep-
tional merit. The aim will be to make
it nonpareil. It will be noted that in
this ambitious edition all the counties
of Southern California are to be in
cluded. We bespeak for this enterprise
the generous patronage which will un-
doubtedly be accorded to it, and which
in reality will only be bread cast upon
the waters, which will return before the
lapse of many days. This is the mis-
sionary era in Southern California. We
need people; and the HERALD proposes
10 see that they shall get here, in great
numbers and OF the right kind.

WILLIAM @. WHITNEY by his conduct
of Mr.. Cleveland's campaign at Chicago
has put himself in the front rank of
political managers. Mr.. Whitney, how
ever, something more than politician
and will be heard from. The people
have not forgotten that he was mainly
instrumental in starting our new navy.
To his integrity and executive ability is
due the fact that we have now the
nucleus OF a navy which ia destined to
compare favorably with that of any
other power. Under the Robesons, the
Chambers and their fellow boodlers, the
Roaches, the nations treasury was
wasted upon tubs which, if they could
float at all after they were built, went
to the bottom on the slightest provoca-
tion. The Tallahassee was one OF these.
and when she was run into, in fog off
the Massachusetts coast, by small
schooner, she very decorously made q

Blaine is now permanently out of line.
That party is by its nature and by ira
dition under the necessity Of enacting
and executing an election law whose
purpose and effect will be to put the
negroes in control of several of the
southern states. A force bill is the
first and inevitable result of sweeping
Republican victory in November. On
the other hand, and by the nature and
necessity Of the ideas involved, the cue

The hundreds of millions that had been
worse than wasted by Whitney's pre-
decessors in travesties upon warships
made the honest. able and business like
conduct Of the navy department, under
his watchful eye, appear like revela-
tion to the people who had 80 long been
used to public abuses OF all kinds.
