POLITICAL MATTERS.
HERvEY LINDLEx TO BE GIVEN A
RECEPTION.
How the Republicans Took the News of
the Nomination--A Meeting of
the Democratic Com
mittee Called.

| Not Republican could be found in
Los Angeles yesterday afternoon who
had not known for weeks past that
Hervey Lindley would be the nominee
of the Santa Cruz convention for con-
gress. At least when the news flashed
over the wire about nooa that he had
been nominated, no one seemed sur
prised. Everyone said: "Oh! 1 told
you so. knew that it couldn't be
otherwise"
Nevertheless, good many people
were surprised at the vote Mr.. Lindley
received. He got every delegate out
side of Los Angeles county and twenty
six out OF possible forty-two votes
fiom this county. The other sixteen
went to Judge Magee of Pasadena.
The Republicans who supported
Mayor Hazard in the convention were
scarcely pleased with the nomination.
In fact they did not like it little bit.
Some OF them, however, were inclined
to look pleasantly upon the result of the
convention. One of the mayors fore
most adherents in the county conven-
tion when asked what he thought of the
action taken at Santa Cruz, said:
"Well, we are beaten, and beaten good
and strong too. Why, just think Of it,
66 to l6. But then, as Senator Ingalls,
says, The voice of the people is not al
ways the voice of God.' We were not
for Hervey, but now that he has the
nomination, guess that we will have to
do what we can for him through the rest
OF the campaign.
There were other anti-Lindley Repub-
Iicans, though, who did not look so
lightly upon the action taken at Santa
Cruz.
Nevertheless, when Mr.. Lindley re-
turns from the north he will receive a
hearty and cordial reception. Arrange
ments are being made to give the gen
tleman an ovation. The Lincoln club
boys have taken the matter in hand,
and they propose to make the hour of
Mr.. Lindley's return an event long to be
remembered by Republicans hereabout.
The various other Republican clubs in
the city will assist. After being escorted
from the depot to the rooms of the club
in the Downey block, reception will be
given there. a
The following committee on reception
has been appointed: Judge d. P. Hatch,
@. M. Soule, j. o. Cashin, w. R. Hatha-
way, r. "A. Ling, W. P. Hamilton and
w. F. X. Parker.
The directors of the Union league
have also decided to ratify the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Lindley. The necessary
committees were appointed to make
final arrangements. The officers of the
Young Mems Republican club were
present and united in the action of the
league, and decided to cooperate. 1t
was decided to request the representa-
tives of ali Republican clubs in the city
and county to meet with the general
committee of arrangements at the
league rooms, on Monday next, at IL
O'Clock to make final arrangements for
grand ratification.
