THE LOCAL POLITICAL CAMPAIGN
Great Interest in the White
Estee Debate.
The Supply of Tickets Exhausted al
an Early Hour.
MIR. Estee Obje cted to Speaking In Big
Hail-The Audience to Be Mixed
Politically Gossip ON Po-
litical Matters.

The tickets for the White Estee joint
debate were distributed yesterday. The
chairmen of the committees holding the
paste boards had hard day of it. Dur
ing the entire day they were bored with
requests for tickets. They gave them out
as long as they lasted, but by l2 o'clock
they were gone.
Still the requests continued to pour in
and when the consequent refusal fol-
lowed, terrible howl went up from the
disappointed ones and it continued until
late last night.
Chairman Last of the Democratic
county committee concluded that he
woulo make one more endeavor to &C.
cure the pavilion for the debate. This
would accommodate 5000 more people and
Mr.. Last was desirous, as is every DEM
ocrat, that as many people as could pos
sibly be accommodated should hear the
debate.
After consultation with Chairman
Denis OF the Democratic auxiliary COM
mittee, he rendered to Secretary Will
lard and Assistant Secretary Wiggin
$1,000, provided they would release the
pavilion and remove the exhibits so that
the debate could be held there this
evening.
MIR. Last was especially desirous OF
affording the workingmen every oppor-
tunity to hear the debate and Mr..
Whites masterly presentation of the
tariff issue.
Secretary Willard, however, was
| forced to decline the offer, owing to the
contracts he had with exhibitors. This
was the last effort that it was possible
to make TO secure the pavilion. The
| Democratic committee has exerted itself
10 secure ample room for every person
desirous of hearing the debate.
In some manner word reach San
! Francisco that the audience at the de-
bate would be divided according to their
political complexion-the Democrats to
the right, the Republicans to the left,
and on yesterday Chairman Last re-
ceiyed the following dispatch jointly
| signed by the chairmen of the two state
| central committees:
"We understand it is the intention to
divide up the audience on party lines.
We deem the system of dividing the
seats up as inadvieable. Under arrange
ments of Joint committee, the audience
should be seated indiscriminately
throughout the hall"
NOTES.
The city central Democratic commit
tee will meet this evening at the rooms
of the county central committee, for the
purpose OF issuing call for the city
convention and arranging for the estab-
lishment of headquarters for the mu-
| nicipal campaign.
The executive committee of the Dem
ocratic county central committee will
meet this morning at 10 O'Clock.
ekThe interest in matters political somei
what increased yesterday, and politica
circles discussed and re-discussed the
situation after the nomination of the
Populists' city ticket. In few
days matters will become more
complicated and exciting, and the
skirmish lines will give way to the main
armies.
! DR.. Bryant announces himself as a
candidate for mayor, subject to nomina-
ton by the Democratic city convention.
Hon. j. Marion Brooks has written a
satirical letter, or rather peculiarly
/ Brooks letter, to the Democratic central
committee, in reference to the assign
ment of speakers, intimating that he
objects to being sent to the truly rural
districts, while other more favored ora
tors are assigned to the larger towns and
cities.
Extensive preparations are being
made for the Union league drill corps on
October 18th, in this city. Secretary
Conrad received the following dispatch
yesterday from Chauncey st. John:
"We have raised enough to come to
Los Angeles, and will whoop her up from
the north to the south"
