ARGUING POLITICS WITH ACANE,
Capt. Hutton Assaulted by Igna-
clio Bilderrain.
Democrats Preparing for the Coming
County Primaries.
An Exciting Fracas at the Corner Of
Temple and Spring Streets.
Political Gossip and
Notes.

The condition of peace aud harmony
which prevails in the Republican party
in this county was exemplified about 6
O'Clock last evening, at the corner of
Temple and Spring streets. Ignacio
Bilderrain and Capt. A. w. Hutton
came together. A fight ensued and
blood flowed.
Captain Hutton was standing on the
corner talking with some friends. Bill
derrain stepped and struck him over
the head with cane, cutting . great
cash. The wound bled freely, and the
blood poured down Captain Hutton's
face, temporarily binding him. Bilder-
rain struck another blow at the injured
man, but it did not reach. Friends
then stepped in and separated the two
scrappers.
Captain Hutton proceeded down Main
street until he was close to the st. Elmo
hotel. Bilderrain followed him and
struck him again with the cane, the
blow lighting on his shoulders. BY this
time a crowd of 200 people had been at
tracted and the two were again sep
arated.
Captain Hutton proceeded to his home
and Bilderrain was taken away by some
friends. Captain Hutton's injuries are
not OF serious character but they will
necessarily prove to be very painful.
The trouble all originated at the Re-
publican primaries recently held in the
Second ward, where there were 800
more votes cast than there ara Republi-
cans in the ward. Captain Hutton was
a strong and ardent worker for the sue
GEES of the reform ticket, while Ignacio
Bilderain was opposing him, and work.
ing for the McLain ticket. As is known
McLain was overwhelmingly beaten in
his own ward, and this caused i'll feel.
ing between Hutton and Bilderrain,
which eliminated in row yesterday.
AS vet no arrests have been made, but
one OF the pair will probably appear
in the police court today.
DEMOCRATS GETTING READY.
On Saturday next the primaries will
be held throughout Los Angeles county,
to elect delegates to the Democratic
county convention, which will meet at
Turnverein hall one week from today to
name county ticket. The work OF
looking up Democrats who are to be
sent to that convention has commenced.
This is eminently correct and prOper.
1t is a labor to which some little time
should be devoted. Good and true men
should be sent as delegates, who have
the interests OF the party solely at heart,
and who will only act for the interests
of the people in selecting the best mate
rial for the several positions to be filed.
To judge from present indications,
there is but one ward in which there
will be any contest of any consequence,
and that is the Eighth ward. The
struggle in this ward is not due to any
division on the county candidates, but
to certain quarrels among prospective
candidates for places on the Democratic
city ticket. This element should not
ing delegates to the county convention,
leaders insist upon making the primary
strength. There may be two tickets in
to be hoped that one ticket can be
seems to be no division of sentiment
whatever.

POLITICAL. NOTES.
The rumor, that Capt. A. w. Barrett
has withdrawn from the race for the
Democratic nomination for Sheriff, is
untrue. Certain business matters have
arisen which may require all of his at
tention, but if he can possibly make ar
rangements, he will make the fight.
The captain will know positively to-
morrow whether he cannot accept the
nomination. In the meantime he has
not withdrawn, as is rumored.
The Second ward Democrats are alive
and active this year. They have three
clubs already organized, and more "a
forming"
Hon. E. J. Niles, Of the Second ward,
an eminent Republican leader and poll
tician, is in San Francisco attending to
important business matters.
James L. Copeland, of San Diego ,one of
the shfewdest political managers in the
neighboring county. is in the city, Mr..
Copeland is Republican, and the po-
litical manager of Congressman "Billy"
Bowers.
The reason the San Diego Sun gives
for sending Mr.. Bowers back to congress
and defeating Col. Oin Welborn is that
the next congress will be Republican
body. This is certainly news that is
important if true"
Mayor Hazard may make the race as
an independent candidate for mayor at
the city election.
William Crawford wants the Demo
cratic nomination for city attorney. He
