THE LEGISLATURES.

The Examiner figures Democratic Legis-
Iature cut of the Non-Partisan movement.
It is positive that n. II. de Young will be
the Republican caucus candidate If the Re-
publieans have a clear majority in the Leg
islature, evidently assuming that this fact
viii deter many Republican voters from
voting their party legislative ticKet. The
Non-Partisans. however do not propose to
hand over the Legislature to the Demo-
cTaIs. San Francisco elects five members
10 the Senate and eighteen to the House
OF these enough will be Non-Partisans to
bold the balance of power. Our Demo-
cratic contemporary, allowing no members
to the Non-Partisans, gives the Democrats
six majority On joint ballot. If we allow
the Democrats all the interior members the
Examiner claims, the election of thirteen
Non-PartisaDs in the city viii give that
party the balance of power. Let US now
consider what may be done with this bal
ance of power. The Non-Partisan men,
bers viii not go into caucus with either
party. But they will vote in joint session ac-
cording to their political predictions, pro-
Vding the party with which they are In polit-
zeal accord nominates worthy candidate.
But neither the Republican Non-Partisans
s--N
in joint session for a notoriously unfit can
didate. The Traffic Association will have
much 20 do with The election of such as
may be successful. and none of the Traffic
Association members will vote for an
aspirant who is suspected of wearing the
Southern Paciiic's collar. Thus. TIE surest
way TO get an independent Senator will be
to elect enough Non-Partisans in this city
to hold the balance Of power. Neither of
the old parties will then be able to elect a
Senator without Non-Partisan votes and
neither party viii get Non-Partisan votes
unless an acceptable aspirant is nominated.
NOn-Partisans should bear in mind that
these candidates are Non Partisan first aud
Democratic or Republican, as the case may
be. second. Even the Democratic candidates
on the NonPartisan ticket were in most
e~~rs nominated by the Non-Partisans and
Indorsed by the Democrats.

THE Law WILL STAND.

The morning organ of Kelly and Grim
Minis is quite certain that one experiment
with the Australian ballot law will be
enough for California. Why for California
and not for other States? Are not Califor-
mans as competent to overcome the per-
plexities Of this system AS voters in States
that have tried the Australian system and
still retain it in their statute-boOks? The
real trouble is that the Australian system
does away with bosses. nominati on by
convention is not worth buying. The
plan of nomination by petition enables
others to place before the public ticket
which bosses have had no hand in nominal
ing. Any convention composed of delegates
elected at pri maries is liable TO be packed.
No method Of conducting primary has yet
been discovered which gives reasonable
assurance of fair vote. But the method
Of nominating by petitions presents tickets
to the public which the voter knows the
bosses have had nothing to do with. The
$4,000 voters who signed the petition for
the Non-Partisan candidates know whether
or not they acted under boss dictation
They signed the petition because they felt
satisfied that ticket placed before them
under toe conditions that they knew to
have prevailed could not be boss ticket.
II was this feeling of confidence that has

A cool PROPOSITION.

Usually when rich corporation discovers
that 1t needs piece Of property owned by
a private Individual it offers fair price
Tor the property in question. IL fair price
is refused, the corporation may resort TO
condemnation proceedings. But the South
ern Pacific Company does not get property
that way. 1t prefers TO work through legis-
latiVe bodies which have acquired some
show of power to vote away the property
Of citizens. The Southern Pacific Company
now want the southern part OF Sixth street
FOR business purposes. Instead OF compen-
sating owners OF property for the loss the
closing of the street will entail, the COM
pany goes to the Board of Supervisors and
asks them to take property from owners
and give 1T to the company. This is the
long and short Of the purpose of the Sixth
street resolution introduced at the Monday
night session of the board. Mr.. Hunting
ton seems to think that IL the Southern Pa
clfc Company wants anything the board
should vote it to them without regard to
the rights of property-holders.

WORKING FOR DIBBLE.

Assemblyman Dibble said in his address
to such voters of the Forty-frst Assembly
District as the Kelly Crimmins contingent
permitted to enter the hall that he had
accepted a nomination On two former occa-
sions with reluctance. Mr.. Dibble thus ap-
pears to the public al a man of whom Office
is in persistent pursuit. The facts are.
however. that considerable fine work was
done two years ago to secure the nomina-
ton for Dibble. Mr.. Dibble's friends had to
convince the Fourth and Townsend streets
bosses that he was safe man for them to
put on the ticket. Mr.. Dibble seems TO
have succeeded in this so thoroughly that
on one occasion when there was railroad
money to distribute Mr.. Dibble appears by
evidence. that no one has yet has explained
away. TO have been selected to perform the
work OF distribution. But Mr. Dibble's
efforts TO eyade Office this year Will doubt

THE OTIS LETTER.

There is an impression that men of letters
are somewhat oyerfond OF seeing the emana-
tlons OF their own minds in print. AS NJ
II. de Young has not been able to extract
much personal enjoyment from the present

wrote some months ago to Harrison Gray
Ois, proprietor of the Los Angeles Times.
o Mr.. Otis De Young wrote 81 looked

MAY HAVE A MAJORITY.

The informal votes that have been taken
indicate that the head of the Non-Partisan
municipal ticket will have a majority of all
the votes cast Other heads of departments
will not fall much behind Mr. Ellert. but
there is danger that the Board of Super
visors and Board of Education may.
Foreign-bOrn citizens who read English i'm
perfectly may get tired of picking out names
to vote before they get through the long list
of candidates. Such voters should provide
themselves with the numbers preceding the
names of the candidates they wish to vote
for and then save time and worry. Every
Non-PartisaD on the ticket may be voted by
number or according as the names should
be selected from the 326 candidates on the
official ballot
The morning call., 1892-11-05
THE NON PARTISAN LEGISLATIVE
TICKET.

The morning organ of Kelly e. Crimmins
asserts that orders have gone forth from
the Non-Partsan headquarters to knife
Republican candidates for the Legislature
on that ticket. There is not a shadow OF
foundation for this falsehood. The Nom
Partisan Republicans are picked men and
may be relied upon to vote for the measures
to be proposed by the Traffic Association.
They Will not 90 into a Republican caucus,
and. consequently, will not be bound to vote
for the Republican candidate for Senator.
But II the Republican legislators nominate
man who is not suspected of subseryIency
10 the Southern Pacific Company and who
Is personally responsible. the Republican
Non -Partisans may vote for him.

BURN THE BLANKET.

Deputy Sheriff G. B. Mackrett says:
''The only sure way TO destroy vermin is TO
burn the blanket" If we apply this epi-
gram to the boss system the two boss
tickets will be burned out Of sight next
Tuesday. If by combinations they should
save one or two Offices the work will have
to be done over In 1894 The Sheriii's Office
and the County Clerks Office would keep
quite number Of the bosses men in har-
ness for two years. But the present out
look is that the blanket viii be burned on
Tuesday. About the only adherents OF the
bosses are persons in some way benefited
by City Hall patronage.

THE VOTE FOR AssEMBLYMEN.

At the trial vote held in the Thirteenth
Assembly District last Thursday Non-Parti-
san Buckley had nineteen votes. the precise
number given TO Mr.. Ellert. This is good
indication. IL the Non-Partisans on elee-
tion day stick 10 their legislative ticket as
we'll as at the trial election that party will
have twenty-three members in the next
Legislature. This number of good and true
men viii constitute rock upon which the
boss combination will split. While the
Non-Partisans will have no members from
the interior, there are individuals in both
parties who will vote with the Non-Perti-
sans against cnrrnnl measnrfs
