Los Angeles herald., 1892-09-04

cisco editor will get single vote from
this county. Every country precinct il
which the De Young people made I
fight has gone solidly anti-De Young
The same is in great measure true ol
the city.
The senatorial contest has become pos
itively interesting since the primaries
The Republican cabal that was formed
some time ago to dictate every nomina
tion in this county, was such pure and
holy combination that it shut out any
idea of nominating candidate who had
the courage and the manhood to assert
his rights. They had man picked out
for senator in the thirty-second district,
but he has not carried single ward.
The ring is now striving its utmost to
defeat Capt. John Cross and Col. Walter
s. Moore, rival candidates for the sena-
torship. Whether or not they will sue
ceed remains to be seen.
HE NEVER CAME BACK.
Several amusing incidents remain to
be told as illustrative of Republican
primary methods. Down in the Second
ward representative OF the "long hair"
element was busily engaged working in
O few repeaters. 1t was dusk, and hard
to discern a mans face at the polls.
There was a large crowd of 400 people
around, who confused matters little.
A tough" had just voted the protec-
tion leagde ticket, and the "long hair"
representative approached him to re-
peat. 1t was finally arranged. The
tough traded coat, vest and hat with
the "long hair" He entered the
crowd, and pushed his way to the box.
He voted. Since then he has not been
seen. The "long hair" aforesaid is out
a nice coat, vest and hat, and he be-
waileth his i'll luck.
Nothing has been heard from George
Flint. He has decamped, taking with
him all OF the collectable spoils that his
position as ward boss commanded.
Yesterday he was much sought for in
dividual. If he had been found he
would certainly have been roughly
handled. Where is Flint, and where is
Tascott, are interrogatories that will 60
together in Los. Angeles from now on
until after election. Flint was eeen at
San Pedro yesterday by HERALD re-
porter.
WHO is TO BE CHAIRMAN?
The question as to who will be the
chairman of the convention to be held
at Illinois hall on Tuesday. was general
ly discussed yesterday. Mr.. Wright of
San Fernando was being doomed by
some, while Col. M. Nudge, of Compton,
was being advanced by another element.
The city crowd, with the exception of
the Second ward, is putting forward
Capt J. Frankentield for the honor. 1t
is believed the country delegates will
name the chairman.
A STRAIGHT NOMINEE.
As the time draws near for the recon-
vening of the Democratic congressional
convention, interest in what that body
will probably do increases. The senti-
ment among Democrats is growing in
favor of a straight party nomination.
1t is believed by a great majority of
Democrats that this is the wisest
and the best thing to do, as it
is conceded that the prospects for elect
ing the Democratic nominee never were
brighter.
While neither Gen. John R. Mathews
or Hon. T. B. Brown have announced
openly that they would accept the NOM
ination, still it is believed that, if it was
rendered, one Of the two
men would accept. Both are lifelong
Democrats, and both have held public
Office. Not one word has ever been ut
tered against either of them that can be
regarded as stain on their character,
official or otherwise. Either one would
prove to be strong candidate before the
people. 1t can truthfully be said that
the sentiment in favor of a straight
Democratic nominee for congress is gro w.
ing throughout the Sixth congressional
district.
Many Democrats are trying to induce
Captain A. W. Barrett to make the race.
His strength at the Soldiers home, in
the G. A. Il. and in this city are factors
worth consideration. The captain has
intended to be candidate tor the nomi-
nation of sheriff, and is inclined not to
change, but in the opinion OF many he
could be easily elected to congress.
POLITICAL NOTES.
The auxiliary committee of the Demo-
cratic state central committee held
meeting yesterday. Important business
was transacted in executive session. The
was large.
On Friday evening last the Democrats
of Gardenia and vicinity held a large
and enthusiastic meeting. Martin G.
Marsh of Los Angeles addressed them on
the tariff issue in an able manner.
