not run the clerks office in the interest
OF anyone except the people. He boldly
declares that he is not the tool of any
man or set of men and that il the people
place him in charge of the clerks office
it will not be made political machine,
where the bosses can dump their hungry
heDchmen and pension upon the county
q vast army of unnecessary clerks.
Walter Moore also announces the
platform upon which he is running for
the state senate in a very bold and out
be dictated to by no boss or bosses to
begin with. He fnrther adds that if he
is elected to the senate he will be tied
down by no corporation collar, but will
60 there and do his duty.
These are the kind OF men that the
ring do not propose to see nominated if
they can help it. The consequence is,
that they are being made conspicuous
marks against which the influence of
the cabal is directed. The pros
poets Of their defeat at the present
writing are most promising. One or
both OF them may pull through, but the
outlook is far from bright for either OF
| them.
WANT IT AT TURNER HALL.
Another grand howl that has gone up
is over the fact that the convention has
been called to assemble in Illinois hall.
This was done by the order Of the county
committee, upon notion OF Capt. j.
Frankenfeld. If the convention is to
be in session three or four days Illinois
hall will scarcely be convenient place.
1t will be a good thing for the street
railways, but bad for the delegates and
spectators. 1t is understood that one
point made in favor of Illinois hall is
the fact that it has no gallery, and that
the spectators can not be on hand to
| personally witness the proceedings OF
the convention. Can it be that the
transaction of Republican county con-
vention in Los Angeles county will be
such that the attendance of spectators
and the public will be undesirable?
Thus it seems, for this was the main
| argument in favor OF holding it at the
corner of Sixth and Broadway. The
merchants on Spring street have made
up a purse sufficient to pay for the
rental Of Turnverein hall for four days,
and will give that hall to the conven-
ton on the condition that it will meet
at Illinois hall Tuesday morning, and
when it adjourns be convened at the
SnPoSiouo pPilh6 oeiOCp hais
THE COUNTRY DELEGATES.
Today the country delegates will COM
mence to arrive in the city, and then
there will be come grand hustling.
They are always an uncertainselement
of every con vention, and the respective
candidates will nail them for pledges as
soon as they show themselves OH the
street. The life OF the country delegate
for the next week will be a wild and
hilarious, but not happy one.
GONE NORTH TO FIX THINGS.
Hervey Lindley, William w. Ihams
and George E. Gard left for the north
on the 2 O'Clock train yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Lindley's campaign in the
north end of the Sixth district will be
made by these gentlemen. They were
seen to the train by Senator Carpenter
and other prominent Republicans. The
| reports that have thus far been received
from the northern counties are not at
all satisfactory to Mr.. Lindley's friends,
and they will make an endeavor to re-
pair his fences.
The Republican organ of San Diego
county, the Daily Union, has this to say
of the disgraceful primaries held in
Los Angeles Friday: NN
HOW REPUBLICANS VIEW IT ELSEWHERE.
The San Diego Union (Republican) of
Sunday contains the following:
"The reports printed in the Los An
geles newspapers concerning the Repub-
lican primaries, which came off in that
among the ANGELS Repeating, brib-
cry, the drawing of firearms, the arrest
of Judges, the stufing OF the ballot box
by the judges in one ward by the means
of a crack in the back side of the box,
all are charged, and with such incidental
proof as seems conclusive in demon
strating guilt. 1t is a disgrace of
which the Republican party may we'll
feel ashamed 1t is, however, but the
natural result of ring tactics, from
which Los Angeles is sufferer, whose
disease is now in the chronic stage. The
list of names printed as those of dele
gates chosen to represent the party in
convention is only shade worse than
the list of defeated candidates for con-
vention honors. Any honest Republi-
can, who knows the character of the
great majority of the men who are said
to have figured in the contest Friday,
must feel humiliated. 1t is no wonder
that scandal upon scandal has followed
the administration Of the ''gang" in
Los Angeles county. The extent to
which it has prostituted the party can
not be concealed by partisan devices.
The swindling. boodling, embezzling,
perjuring, ballot-box stufing, bribing
schemes which have been successfully
carried through in that county are too
| numerous for mention. The party
| in power in that county must take
purgative of more than double
strength if it is ever to unload the dis
honest crowd of political knaves with
which it's stomach is distended. The
| true blue Republican press of that coun-
| ty should no longer maintain silence.
bat join the reputable opposition papers
in the denunciation Of fraud wherever it
may be found. Not until Republican
papers denounce fraud committed in the
name of Republicanism can the party
be cleansed Of its impurities.
A FRENCH WRITER GIVES HIS IDEA.
This is the way the political editor OF
L'Union Nouvelle tells the story of the
battle OF the long hairs and the ring at
the republican primaries:
"The primary elections for delegates
to the Republican convention of the
! county have taken place yesterday, and
have been very animated, because the
