SECOND WARD DEMOCRATS.
The Second Ward Democratic club
met at the corner of Fremont and Tenn
pie street last. evening. A constitution
and bylaws was adopted. After signing
the roll and the payment of the usual
fees, the following gentlemen were
elected officers OF the club: Pretident,
A, Davis; first vice-president, F. B.
Colver; second vice president, James
A. Craig; secretary, j. H. Melvill !;

The club then proceeded to give in
structions on the new election law, with
w. B. Scarborough acting as judge.
Another meeting will be held next
Tuesday evening.
THE REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN.
The Republican county central COM
mittee will meet today. Judge Silent
will be chosen as permanent chairman
OF the committee, unless the present
slate is broken. This will prove satis-
factory to great many Republicans,
but to some, Judge Silents elevation to
the chairmanship of the committee will
prove bitter pill. Unless the signs of
the times are misleading, there will be a
lively time at the committee meeting
today.
THE GERMAN DEMOCRATS.
The German-American Democratic
club met in regular meeting last even
ing in Tammany hall. About so mem
bers were present. Quite an interesting
meeting was held, and, among other
resolutions. one was adopted to remind
the caucus leaders that the German vote
of Los Angeles county wanted proper
representation as to delegates. A COM
mittee of three was appointed TO have
speakers on hand for each meeting. as
follows: H. Bartning, Phil r. Weller
and Prof. Wilhartitz. 1t was decided to
meet hereafter on Saturday evenings, in
Turner hall, beginning September Oath,
providing the hall can be had at that
time.
POLITICAL NOTES.
The colored Democratic club met in
their club room, No. 219 Requena street,
with w. H. Jukes in the chair, on Mon
day evening. Resolutions were passed
by the club to have one delegate to go
to San Francisco to represent the col
ored Democratic club of Southern Cali
fornia. There we're several speeches
made denouncing the Republican party,
and the following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, That the Republican party,
through fear OF the step taken by the
colore1 Democratic club, nominated a
colored man on their ticket; whereas,
believing that he cannot be elected,
Resolved, That we unite ourselves
more closely than ever.
Justice L. Stanton, who was defeated
for the Republican nomination for town
ship justice, is now an avowed candi-
date for mayor. At least he stated go
yesterday to HERALD reporter. The
Judge might be able to obtain the Re-
publican nomination, if the primaries
are held under the Porter law. He
would run as well as any Republican
will run in Los Angeles county this
year. 1t is not very good year, though,
for Republicans.

at Wizards hall, West Washington

The Democrats of the First ward will
caucus this evening, at $50 pm, at
Hayden's hall, East Los Angeles. All
Democrats OF the ward are urgently re-
quested to attend
James Hanley, who is candidate for
the Republican nomination for. super
visor in the Fifth district, is Democrat,
whose standing, not only in the party,
but as citizen and property owner,
has never been questioned. He has al
ways been good representative wher-
ever he was placed, and would uaques-
tionably make strong fight, and un-
doubtedly q winning one. When
elected his influence on the board
would be felt, for he could discharge the
duties of the office in such way that it
would be known that he was there. If
Mr.. Hanley is nominated he will sweep
the Fifth district.
DR.. Choate cannot be persuaded to
take the Democratic nomination fo-
coroner. His practice will not permit
him. He thinks that the Democratic
nominee will be elected.
Some Republicans assert that DR..
Gates, the Republican nominee for cor
