SANTA ANA, Oct .19.-My, but there are
some sick Republicans in this city to-
day, and little knots of men can be seen
standing on the street corners, talking
over the meeting of last night. The
Republicans know Collins, the Prohibit
ton speaker, told the truth, but how
they do dislike the cold, blunt truth,
sometimes.
If Collins didn't burn Bowers up last
night, then some of the strongest
epithets in the English language do not
convey any meaning. He literally
roasted the Republican nominee for con-
gress. And the poor, little man, Hill,
that got up to say something! How he
did get sat down on. Why he hadn't
more sense than to tackle such man as
Collins, is more than anyone can tell.
The meeting, from a Prohibition
standpoint, was decided success, and
the Democrats here are happy today.
They feel sure that the meeting made
the Democratic candidate for congress
many votes, and are we'll satisfied to
stand back and let the Prohibitionists
and Republicans have pitched battle
If they want to.
Judge Wilde, of Ventura, and E. @.
Seymour, the Republican candidate for
joint councilman from this district, are
both making Rome howl in the rural
districts. The Republican party hasn't
let Wilde speak in Santa Ana. Wonder
why? Is it because he made speech
here once before? Seymour is working
hard. The little sheriff from San Ber-
nardino, who stands about as much
chance of being elected as he does of
driving a coach and four within the
pearly gates, is making house to house
fight here. He is working principally
among the soldiers, and has big stock
of assurance and brass with him. As
regards his ability, he does not compare
with the Democratic nominee, Professor
Manley.
Hon. Olin Welborn, the candidate of
the Democrats for congress from this
district, held rousing meeting at Tus-
tin tonight. A great deal of enthusi-
asm prevailed, and his hearers were fa-
vorably impressed with his fairness and
ability. The force bill and tariff ques
tion received attention from him. Or
ange county will give Welborn major
ity-something never before dreamed of
by Democrats.
ON TRIAL.
Oscar A. Wells, OF Capistrano, sat in
the superior court of this county today,

this ne is to be tried. The case will be
bitterly contested. j. W. Ballard, of
this city, and J. NJ. Stone, of Los Auge-
les, appear for the defense, while Dis
trict Attorney Sanborn and l.. A. Men

row. A large number of residents OF

H, Neill paid $40 fine for calling Billy
Ballestero a d-n liar Yesterday, and
SAYS he only wishes he had had his
hands out of his pockets when Billy hit
him, and the fight would not have ended
rs it did. Ballestero thinks he
oughtn't to have got fined for
hitting Neill, or for making a noise,
and so he demanded jury trial,
which he will have next Monday. Bal
lestero is arrested on two charges, and
lie will probably pay dearly for the two
blows he gave Neill. Billy says if a jury
convicts him he will leave town.
