SANTA ANA, Oct. 1S.-Politics in this
county ie all one hears now. The cor
respondent of the Times from this city
is continuing to make himself ridlcu-
lous discussing political matters. and
has not recovered yet from the effects OF
Billy Williams speech. He does not
appear to know any more about the po-
litical situation than he does about
horse racing, and is always saying alb
surd things.
The poor fellow is worrying about the
disaffection in the Democratic party /;
but where it is no one but the sleuth-
hound of the Times seems to know.
Bennett, the candidate for assembly
man Oh the Peoples party ticket, and
who has received the endorsement Of
the Democratic party. has a fighting
chance. Welborn will carry Orange
county, for nearly every Prohibitionist
in the county will vote for him. Col
lins, the Irish preacher, has been pour
ing hot shot into Bowers camp, and the
results are good for the Democrats.
10 county affairs, the Democracy is all
right. The Democracy of this county do
not expect to elect every officer. The
boare OF supervisors are now Democrat
ic. We have the assessor, and will elect
Theodore Lacy sheriff again. The county
clerkship will be battle, for d. L.
Brock, the Republican nominee, is an
able gentleman, we'll qualified for the
Office, and will probably be elected. as
his opponent is not making much of q
fight. j. G. Scarborough, the Demo.
cratic candidate for district attorney, is
a sure winner, as his opponent in man
but little known and with no ability to
speak of. Goeppar, for treasurer, is
making strong fight, and is gaining
strength every day. He stands very
good chance of being elected, and should
be. VIM. H. Lehman, the Democratic
nominee for tax collector, is well known
and popular, and will have no trouble
defeating his opponent, Mr.. Freeman.
Finley will be elected surveyor with
hands down, and Bowers is going to
have no trouble to get the recordershIp.
Thus it will be seen that the Republican
party will lose at least two offices, that
of tax collector and district attorney,
now held by their party, and probably
the recordership.
This talk about there being any dis
affection in the Democratic party in this
county, originates in the fertile brain of
the Times genius in this city, and is not
considered by any of the Republicans
here.
A positive proof that the Democratic
party is all right in this county is that
IN every town the Democratic political
meetings are more largely attended than
those of any other party.
The Peoples party cuts no figure. 1t
is only sideshow here, while the Pro-
hibitionists will poll about their usual
vote.

morning for few days.
