SAN IA ANA.


Political Matters.
SANTA ANA, Nov. 6 This bright Sum
day morning finds Santa Ana again at
its usual state of quietude. The Office
and corridors of the Brunswick hotel
have been crowded all day with men
talking horse race, and high above all
stands out Jimmy Jones with his Cleve-
land hat. Jimmy bet on Our Dick, but
not heavily, and is sure he will be all
right after the election, for he is going
to bet on Grover Cleveland.
Everyone in Santa Ana is satisfied
with the outcome of the race, for while
the town boys all thought Silkwood was
winner, many were fearful of the out
come thereof. Not so much money
was won by the boys here, for they got
badly scared at rumors of fake race" )"
and did not know what was going to
happen. 1t was not a "fake," however,
for despite reports to the contrary, both
men drove to win. There are those
here among the "knowing ones" who
feel sure that Silkwood could have gone
| two seconds better in the first heat if it
had been necessary, but whether or not
| this is a fact that is known by no one
all he knows. Certain it is that Orange
county was in it yesterday.
There is talk here of having Silkwood
and Our Dick driven on Tuesday next
together, in a team race against the
worlds record. 1t is to be hoped that
this will be done, for the chances are
favorable for the record to be broken.
One hears great deal OF talk about
b nf hnyr Ix.A
certainly he dispelled such an idea yes
terday, for HERALD reporter saw the
horse Immediately after the third heat
OF the race and he was in fine condition
for another mile or two. It is more than
likely that the horse will not be driven
against his record this season, as Mr..
Willetts is satisfied with the speed he
has now shown.
Jake REPORTS.
The Anaheim Jonrnal, with disregard
for the truth, publishes a campaign
Justification, intended; ITO injure the
Democratic nominee for sheriff, and
then circulates its sheets broadcast
over the country. The measures re-
sorted to are contemptibe, and the as
sertions made without foundation. The
the great register out in time for the
election were very general. not alone
among Democrats, but among Republi-
cans as we'll, and the fears would prob
ably have been realized had not the ut
most efforts been used in rushing the
| work. Mr.. Lacy, the Democratic nomi.
nee, is an honest man, and as his
election is about certainty, some kind
of lie had to be sprung late in the day
to try and defeat him. Next Tuesday
the voters of Orange county will show
| at the ballot box just how much more
confidence they have in Mr.. Lacy than
in the untrue reports of bowling Re-
publican organ.
THE COMING FOOT RACE.
Tom Morris, the champion foot-racer,
is in training for his coming race with
James Quirk, the Canadian champion.
Tom informed the HERALD representa-.
tive yesterday that the race will proba-
bly, be held here, and within the next
three weeks, the purse being for $4,000 a
side. Morris has also accepted the
challenge of a Texan by the name OF
Edwards, to run three raCes-a 70, 100
and l25.yard races-for purse of $1,000
race. These events will in all proba-
bility come off in this city, and we, Of
Orange county, believe that, like Silk.
wood, Morris ia invincible.
BREVITIES.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. o. Smith of South
Riverside were in this city yesterday.
Santa Ana should organize bicycle
club. There are number of fine riders
in this city.
The Santa Ana baseball club will
probably play ball with the Courier
club of San Bernardino next Sunday at
that place.
A large number of Santa Anans at
tended the baseball games in Los An
geles today.
All the churches were we'll attended
this morning.
Hon. Nestor A. Young of San Diego is
in town, and will remain several days.
