A Meeting All Laboring Men Should At
tend-The Republican City Con-
venticn-Political Notes
and Gossip.

Angeles will gather at Turnvereln haii
to hear the political issues OF the day
discussed in so far as the present gov
ernment of Los Angeles county is con-
cerned. The workingmen are IN almost
all instances taxpayers. True, many OF
them have only their little homes, but
thew are dear to them, and upon them
the burden OF taxation rests heavier
even than it does upon the millionaire.
The laboringmen have curiosity to know
what has become of the SABLE, ,2O5.90
which has been expended by the pres
ent new court house regime during the
past three and halt years.
Capt. F. B. Colver, the Democratic
nominee for county auditor, will act as
president of the meeting. The speakers
will be 7. L. Skinner, Frank Il. Flnlay-
son. Gen. John R. Mathews, James O..
Kays, M. P. Snyder and Homer O. Katz.
All laborinpmen, organized and un-
organized. are invited to attend. By
ali means let the toilers turn out and
hear an intelligent discussion OF the
issues.
THE REPUBLICAN CITY CONVENTION.
Tomorrow the Republican city conven-
ton will convene at Turnverein hall,
and when it will close no man knoweth.
Despite the fact that yesterday was
Sunday, the Republican local politicians
were abroad in the land endeavoring to
size up the delegates and what they
would in all probability do. The "slz.
ing up" proposition was in no sense OF
the term a success. The delegate was
inclined to be backward in expressing
his views as to the candidacy OF this or
that man. When addressed he would
assume faraway look, and the only an
swer he would give to request Tor sup
port was that he would think the mat
ter over"
It seems to be the general opinion
that Mr.. Wells is no longer in the fight
for mayor. Mr.. Summerland's friends
claim that he will have 81 votes on the
first ballot. 1t takes l03 to nominate.
Mr.. Tufts supporters say that he will
have go votes, while Mr.. Hazards
friends are talking about 20 votes for
their man. There is a strong probable
ity of Summerland being nominated on
the first ballot. If he should not be he
will find it hard work to obtain any
more strength than that which the first
ballot brings to him.
Mr.. Hazard has surprised all OF the
politicians by mastering the strength he
has. Mr.. Tufts friends feel confident of
the outcome of his fight. 1t looks now
as though it would take several ballots
to settle the question.
The candidates for the other places on
the ticket are thicker than the proven
bial feas on a dogs back. There are
about, on an average, four applicants for
every job. There are IA candidates for
auditor alone. Mr.. Lopez has held the
position four years and now is desirous
of holding the position of county auditor.
1t would seem that the Republican place
hunters regard his snap as very soft
one.
No one can tell who will be the win
ners for the subsidiary positions. The
convention will have to determine that.
Predictions would be idle.
The young mems debate will take
place in Turnverein hall on Wednesday.
The public are most cordially invited to
be present. All those desiring tickets
can be accommodated by calling at the
stand in the city hall. Ladies are
especially invited to be present. The
galleries will be especially reserved for
them. Music will be in attendance.
w. A. Ryan and R. J. Adcock ad-
dressed the people of San Pedro on the
political issues last Saturday evening.
A huge bonfire was built in front of the
hall and regular old time rally was
held. The speakers discussed national
issues 30 far as they related to California
and reviewed the county affairs. The
names of several of the county candi-
dates were vigorously applauded, and
the meeting closed with three cheers for
the entire ticket. 1t is confidently
claimed there that San Pedro will give
a substantial Democratic majority this
time.
There will be meeting of the Fourth
Ward Democratic club this evening at
s O'Clock at the corner of Seventeenth
street and Grand avenue.
Prof. A. Wilhartitz has received let
ter from his friend, Joseph Mischka OF
Buffalo, N. Y, who states that Cleve-
land and Stevenson will carry New York
