of the day, and the courage to avow and
maintain them.

We think it is very doubtful if the
Democratic Legislature of New York will
undertake tie introduce the Michigan plan
of appointing Presidential electors by
districts for two reasons. In the first
place the only motive that would induce
the Democrats to make the change
namely, the expectation of gaining
something by it's wanting in this case.
By the adoption of the Michigan plan
they could not choose all of the
electors, no matter how skillfully they
might gerrymander the State. On the
other hand, under the present plan, they
have only to carry the State to get the
whole of them. This they are very con-
fident that they can do. Therefore,
while their present confidence remains
they are not likely to make the change,
because it would in their opinion involve
loss. In the second place the reception
which the change in Michigan met with
was not such as to encourage the Demo-
Gratis in other States to follow suit. The
change was recognized all over the coun-
try AS a trick to get an unfair advantage,
and denunciation of it was not confined
to Republicans. Gov. Boies, of Iowa
found himself so seriously handicapped
by it as to be obliged to go upon the
stump and solemnly pledge himself that
if the Iowa legislature should adopt the
plan that he would veto it. Democrats
are often short sighted, but they can
generally be depended on to see the
length of their noses, and that extent of
vision would seem to be all that is needed
to deter them from attempting to Michi-
game New York. But while there is no
probability of their adopting the Michi-
gan plan, it is far from conceivable that
they should adopt the plan that was in
vogue in South Carolina up to the time
of the war, namely, the appointment of
the electors by the legislature. That
would ensure them the entire electoral
vote of New York beyond all peradven-
ture.

The Portland daily press., 1892-01-07

The Republican State Committee of
New York has issued an address to the
people setting forth the tricks by which
the Democratic canvassing board under
the direction of Gov. Hill succeeded in
counting in Democratic majority in the
Senate. 1t is calm and temperate state
ment and convicts the canvassing board of
deliberately canvassing certificate which
they knew to be false and illegal and on
the strength of This false and fraudulent
certificate giving a seat to u man who
received only minority of the votes
cast. OF course this address will not
serve to undo the wrong that has been
done. That has been consummated and
there is no redress except through an
appeal to the people in the future.

The Bangor Commercial replying to the
inquiry of the PRESS in regard to Demo
cratic sentiment in Bangor on the Presi-
dental nomination says:
We think that Democratic sentiment in Ban
gor is favorable TO the nomination of the strong
est candidate when the time for action arrives
We believe, also, that Democratic sentiment
here is favorable to allowing the states which
VIII furnish the electoral votes to elect the cam
didate OF the convention, if he is to be elected
to have the most potential voice in deciding who
that candidate shall be-. 1t would be pretty
poor politics in our opinion to send delegates
from Republican state pledged in advance to
any candidate for nomination bya Democratic
convention. Bangor Democrats are pretty sem
sible politicians and are inclined to believe in
the maxim, Better be safe than be sorry"
Boiled down this amounts to declara-
ton that the Bangor Democrats are ready
to take any dose which the Democratic
convention administers without making
any fuss about it. This, we are bound to
say, is rather different position from
what Bangor Democrats are won't to
assume at State conventions, where they
are apt to vigorously insist that the whole
state shall surrender to their particular
views. Neither is it altogether compile
mentary to thir intelligence and indie
pendence. Candidates are supposed to
be selected with none reference to their
views on important questions and the
Democrat who says he does not care who
the candidate is practically confesses that
he has no opinion in regard to those
questions, or mono which he held with
any considerable tenacity. Of course the
logical candidate of Democrats in that
predicament is Hill who is in that pre-
dicament himself.
The Portland daily press., 1892-01-07

1t seems to us that the statement of
the Argus that very large majority of
the Democrats of Portland favor Cleve-
land in preference to Hill does them
great credit A party should have a
policy, and its Presidential candidate
should be man of convictions on the
pending questions of the day. A party
that enters a political contest with no
more important programme than to
make a clean sweep of the sffices deserves
defeat, whether it be called Republican
or Democrat. A party. nowadays is
judged much more generally, and we are
inclined to think much more accurately.
by the men it puts forward for its candi-
dates for the high offices than by the
declarations of its platform. Platforms
soon pass out of mind, but the candi-
dates are constantly in the public eye,
and their views and opinions are apt to
be accepted as the views and opinions of
the party that has nominated them. A
man who is well known to be a trimmer
without any positive convictions is
likely to impress the public with the
idea that his condition is the con-
dition of his party The nominal
ton of Hill by the Democratic party
would be interpreted by everybody who
knows him to mean either that the party
had no convictions, or that it had con-
cluded to stifie them for fear that they
might repel some voters. A campaign
with such a man at its head would be q
campaign of deceit and false pretences
Nobody could know beforehand what his
election would mean as regards the tariff
on silver, though everybody would know
that it meant clean sweep of the Offices
1t would inevitably be simply fight for
spoils. On the other hand the selection
of Cleveland would mean that the party
had some definite ideas on the questions

EAST LOS ANGELES CATHOLICS

A Fair in Aid of the Church Now Being
Built.
The new East Los Angeles Catholic
church, the foundations OF which
were laid few years ago, is
being completed. 1t will cost
to finish it about $4,000. The
brick work is about finished, and the
present contract with Mr.. keenan, calls
for the completion of the building on the
outside for the 1st of November.
A fair to aid in the good work will be
held at Bottiler hall, on Downey avenue
laating from the 18th to the 18th instant.
A meeting of the Catholic gentlemen OF
the east side was held yesterday, when
the following committees were ap-

the whole interior Of Southern Califor-
MIA, and az far east as New Orleans and
Galveston. OF one thing the public
may be assured, that if the appropria-
tions are not secured for Santa Monica.
not a cent will be accorded to this
county. The influences favorable to
Santa Monica are powerful to insure
that negative result, at least.
Under the circumstances, it behooves
our people to inquire whether it would
not be we'll to pull altogether for the
attainable? 1t would be great thing
to have many millions expended in Los
Angeles county, no matter where. The
work will give employment to great
numbers of mer, and it will certainly
detract from no other place. This is the
view the Bannings, who have largee in
terests at San Pedro and Wilmington,
take of the matter, and we think it ia
the only sensible one. In obtaining APP
propriations, as in other matters, in
union is strength. Even the property
of the citizens of San Pedro and Redondo

THE strikes of the workingmen at the
east are beginning to abate, and they
would have ended long ago but for the
noxious presence of the walking dele
gate" who should be compelled to walk
off. There was case of this sort on
one OF the north coast steamers some
months ago. The engineers name is
Gilmore, and he had held his place for
twelve years, during nine of which he
had had three of his crew of firemen
with him. On SunGay. morning in
March last he was coming into the har-
Dor of San Francisco, and thought that
he detected something wrong in the
sound of the low pressure engine. AS
soon as the ship reached the dock he
ordered the firemen to take eff the
cylinder head for examination. They
got wrenches and began doing go when
suddenly the work stopped. Upon Mr..
Gilmore's inquiring the cause, he was
told by the firemen that the walking
delegate" had forbidden their doing so.
This threw the work over till Monday,
in consequence of which the ships sail
ing wes delayed twenty-four hours. The
firemen were to receive extra pay for
what they did and were perfectly will
ing to do it, as it was the first extra
work they had been asked to do in two
years, but the delegate said otherwise.
Now. which was their friend, the en-
gineer or the walking delegate?

The specie exports of the week ending
August 2Sth, were $2,252 ,43l, of which
81 ,000.0 went to Bremen, 1860, 1000 to
Hamburg and $292, ,4Sl to London. This
was the smallest remittance to England
for some time, but it must be borne in
mind that the season of heavy grain
shipments to England is near at hand,
and that does much to reduce England's
demands against US fer the value of
manufactured articles. The year 1891
was terrible one for money drain
upon the country and yet no financial
panic ensued. The expert OF money
was $65, ,497 1858, as against $31 ,44S, 345
in 1890 and $50 494. .102 in 1889. The
total exports OF money this year up to
August 9th, were $67 ,4l9, ,755, but dur
ing that time there was an import Of
specie to the extent of $7,757, ,S67, thus
reducing the net expectation for eight
months to s59, ,66l, ,8SS. The financial
condition of the state is a good one.
With the decrease OF stock gambling the
popular pulse ia no longer at fever heat

present bank commission has done well,

HERE are great many Democrats
throughout the district, and very saga.
cious ones at that, who think that the
indifference Of Democrats to the nomi-
nation tor congress is without warrant.
Amongst these is Hon. John McGonigle,
OF the Ventura Democrat. We take the
following from that sterling sheet, and
recommend its careful consideration to
the doubling Thomases:
The adjourned meeting of the Demo
cratic convention to nominate a candi-
date to congress will meet ct Los An
geles the 10th inst, and that winning
candidate will be then and there chogen
we have no particle of doubt. For vari.
GUS reasons we believe the Democratic
party has today a plurality of the voting
strength of the Sixth district, and will
increase that strength by election day.
The Republican majority in the district
is greatly exaggerated, and three-ffths
of it at the last election came from Los
Angeles county, where Mr.. Lindley
is very unpopular with large
number Of his own party. If the
convention will give us good Los
Angeles Democrat as candidate we
