ANY arguments which have been made

nectlon with the labor organizations
VIII not only fall fiat, but will augment

henry d. Belt, nominated for record.
er, 10 gentleman whose training and
business have peculiarly fitted him for
the discharge OF the duties incident to
that station.
Mr.. j. De Barth Shorb, nominated for
treasurer, needs no introduction To the
people OF Los Angeles county. Mr.. Shorb
has been constant worker for the puh-
lie for years; has contributed his time
and money for the advantage Of this
county and its citizens. His opponent
has been treasurer for two terms. and ia
now a candidate for the third time. 7
have carefully read much of the matter
that has been written for and against
Mr.. Banbury, and | think that a con-
servative statement is made when cav
that he has not succeeded in answering
many grave criticisms upon his official
action.
For tax collector, Col. E. e. Hewitt
has been chosen. He has also been in
Office in this part of the etate, and has
never been found wanting; in his per-
sonal bearing gentleman, and in his
official and private life in every respect
man of integrity. His principal OPP
ponent has but little interest in this
county, and to elect him would be to
disregard the meritorious and superior
demands Of the Democratic candidate.
For district attorney we have chosen
MIR. Henry Q. Dillon, competent law
yer, who will give US not only an honest
administration. but will likewise reduce
the expenses Of the Office without in any
way impairing its efficiency.
Messrs. Collins, Brewer and Hanlev
are candidates for the Office of super
visors. These gentlemen l have known
in various capacities for many years.
They are honorable, reputable and COM
petent gentlemen. They are the tools
of no clique; they are owned by no cor
poration and, assure you, will conduct
the business of this county in fair and
economical manner.
Mr.. Scarborough, our candidate for
public administrator, Mr.. Guirado, our
candidate for coroner, and Mr.. Street,
our candidate for county surveyor, are
all gentlemen admirably fitted for the
| places to which they aspire.
The city justices, Messrs. Dunlap and
Seamen, the township justice, Mr.. Bar
tholomew, and the constsbles, Richard
son and Sieweke, have been chosen after
careful examination of their qualifica-
tions to faithfully discharge the obliga-
tions imposed upon them.
MR.. sHoRB's ADDRESS.
Chairman Skinner then with very
neat Introductory announced Mr.. J.
de Barth shorb as the next speaker.
Mr.. Shorb was greeted with burst
OF applause that prevented his getting
in word for some moments, but after q
comparative quiet had been restored,
spoke substantially as follows:
Mr.. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLE
MEN My friend, Mr.. White, and the
honrable chairman have spoken of me
in such fiattering terms that they have
taken from me almost every thought.
1t is pleasure for me, after a period
| OF 80 years, most of it spent in ti]ling
the soil, to find that the first time in
that period l come before you as a can
didate that am greeted go warmly. I
doubt not that many of you have asked
| yourself why, at this late hour, l come
before you asking for an Office. After
the many earnest and repeated requests
of many friends of both the Democratic
and Republican party / consented to
become candidate for county treasurer,
but on the sole condition that no bank
or corporation should enter the
fight, but that it should be
left to the issues and the men them
selves, and that, ladies and gen.
tlemen, is the reason am be-
fore you as a candidate, and l assure
you that if tomorrow you see fit to select
me to take charge of the moneys of this
county, shall be the treasurer of Los
Angeles county, and not the tool of any
bank. [Applause.l And l can also
assure you that the county will not have
to pay for anything it does not receive.
The speaker then made short talk
! on national issues.
Mr.. Shorb spoke in his usual eloquent
strain, and his remarks were frequently
intermixed by bursts of hearty applause.
The meeting then adjourned.
