THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.
The Tariff Debaters Left Yes
terday for the North.
An Active Campaign Being Prose-
cuted on Both Sides.
Mr.. White and Mr.. Estee to Speak at
Fresno Tonight-Some Local
Campaign Matters-Notes
and Gossip.

Hon. M. M. Estee and Hon. Stephen
M. White departed last evening for
Fresno, where they will debate the tariff
question this evening. The two dis
tinguished representatives of the Re-
publican and the Democratic idea will
undoubtedly be greeted by tremendous
audience at Fiske's opera house, where
they will crate.
During the day, Mr.. Estee held levee
at the Nadeau, hundreds OF Republicans
calling upon him and shaking the
hand of the distinguished leader. Mr..
| White remained at his home on Main
street until the train left. Both gentle
men are in excellent health, and the
future joint debates between them will
probably be sharper than the one of
| Saturday. Each is now acquainted
with the style and points of the other,
and this will be an advantage they did
| not possess Saturday evening.
The general opinion among citizens,
yesterday, who heard the debate Satur.
day evening, was that Mr.. White un-
questionaby bested Mr.. Estee. Still no
one denied the fact that Mr.. Estee pre-
sented very specious plea for the Nc
Kinley bill.
THE LOCAL CAMPAIGN.
The local campaign is now most
thoroughly on. The various candidates
on the several county tickets are all
making active, vigorous personal cam
paigns. They are not only out them
selves, but they also have their friends
out assisting them.
With the Democracy this will be the
most energetic campaign that has been
made during the past elk years to elect
the county ticket. The prospects of
success for the local Democracy was
never brighter than at present. The
$l.45 tax levy on an assessment of
| $82, 900 900, which has just been made
by the Republican city and county gov
ernments now in power on courthouse
hill and in the city hall are two very
powerful arguments with the taxpayers,
which lead them to think that change
would be most desirable.
On all sides the Democratic committee
is receiving encouraging assurances.
From every district in the country ad-
vices are to the effect that there have
been numerous accessions to the
Democracy. This being the case, it Is
not to be wondered that the party gen.
orally feels as though success would
rest on its banner in Los Angeles
county this year as to the local county
ticket
The Republican county committee is
also doing some hard work in the way
of building up Republican fences
throughout the county where they are
broken down or out of place. The COM
mittee has found that the aforesaid
fences, taken as whole, are badly out
of place in numerous instances. Still
they are laboring as best they can to get
them into condition by the 8th day of
November. The task is an herculean
one, but the committee is laboring
valiantly in the unworthy cause.
POLITICAL NOTES.

register, he should see that it is placed
there at once. Registration closes on

meeting at AZusa. Tomorrow evening
the meeting will be held at Ell Monte.
Up to last evening, $4,000 names had
been set up in type for the great regis
ter-at % cents per name. The great
| register this year will contain about
27.000 names-at % cents name
$62l0. If Mr.. Ward had opened the
contract to print the register to compe-
tition, instead of giving it to favorite,
| it could have been done for $4,000 at an
outside figure. The county taxpayers
are Just out $4,000 on the proposition.
The clerks employed in compiling the
great register will be out of employment
about the 25th. They still have two
weeks in front of them.

engaged, and some good work is being
done. Southern California has been

tion has been carried on in good shape.

some very efficient work, which ali the
members of the committee realize and
