Mr.. W. II. AFFORD, Democratic nom
inee for congress in the Seventh con-
gressional district. passed through Los
Angeles today, on his way home from q
stumping tour OF the southern counties
OF his district. Judging from the treat
ment he has received from the press,
both Republican. Populist and Demo-
cratic, he has made very favorable i'm
preston wherever he has spoken. The
people OF San Diego county are especial
ly interested in having an active, intelli.
gent man in congrens from the Seventh
district. They have tried Bowers and
have found him about as useful as the
fifth wheel Of a coach. Afford made q
brilliant record in the last Legislature
and kept every promise made to his con-
stituents on the stump. He introduced
in the assembly the resolution impeach-
ing the board of railroad commissioners,
an act which alone ought to be sufficient
grounds for his election to any office he
aspires to, and had it not been for the
lenient spirit of the state senate they
would have been ousted from Office.
Afford was also the author of the amend
ment exempting non-bearing fruit trees.
vines and nut-5esring trees from taxa
ion. We should like to hear OF any,
thing Bowers has done during the many
years he has held Office, except draw
his salary and wsg his jaw.

MIR. HUNTINGTON'S WORK.

Just in advance Of the visit OF the sem
atorial committee the Santa Monica
Outlook publishes pamphlet, which it
calls a supplement, on Santa Monica
harbor. Presumably it is done at Mr..
Huntington's dictation, as he controls
everything around Santa Monica. The
pamphlet consists of paper read be-
fore the senate committee on commerce
last June by E. L. Oorthell. who is her.
aided "a zone Of the most distinguished
engineers now living" Probably he has
some reputation as an engineer, other
wise he would not have been employed
to 90 before the committee in the inter
est of the Southern Pacific.
The fact remains that his paper and
report in favor of Santa Monica ~ the
deep-water harbor of Los Angeles is
simply q special pleading in behalf Of
and paid for by the Southern Pacific.
MIR. Corthell, in fact, rather undiplo-
matically recognizes his obligations to
the chief engineer of the Southern Pa
cifc for information furnished. The
fact that Mr.. Corthell's conclusions are
at variance with those of two boards OF
United States engineers detailed to in
vestigate the subject does not worry him
in the least. He calmly and politely
sets aside their views as based on insult
ficient information and inability to cor
rectiy apply so much as they did OBJ
tain.
As was expected, Mr.. Huntington is
promptly in the field and well supplied
with ammunition, ready TO meet the
senatorial committee. This report is
merely an affair of outposts. The main
attack will be made when he gets the
committee before him. Every one in
Southern California who lie not under
Southern Pacific influence knows that
San Pedro ia the proper place for deep.
water harbor. Mr.. Huntington knew it
himself better than any one else and
made Improvements there accordingly,
until he found that another railroad
had obtained terminal facilities there
and threatened him with competition.
Then he promptly became impressed
with the merits OF Santa Monica, where
he has got things 80 arranged that he
will be safe from tho intrusion of other
railroad interests. Having the COM
merce OF Southern California ali to him.
self, il he can get the senate committee
to decide in favor of Santa Monica, he
will be able to impose his own terms
upon 1t. That is Mr.. Huntington's idea
of the way in which the business of the
country should be arranged, and he has
always been true to his ideal to the best
OF his ability. San Francisco Bulletin,
(Rep.) &
The Bulletin has very just concep-
tion of Mr.. Huntington's intentions to-
ward Southern California in the matter
of the deep water hsrbor, but he is not
relying altogether on the impression he
may make on the senate commerce COM

COL. /. z. MEssMoRR,

The Career of the Dem oor alto Candid ate
for County Clerk.
That the voters of Los Angeles county
may know something of the gentleman
who has received the nomination for the
office OF county clerk by the Democratic
county convention of this county. the
following sketch of Col. I. E. Messmore
is herewith presented by one we'll &C
ouainted with his career:
Col. Messmore is q native OF Detroit,
Michigan, While yet child his parents
removed to the state of Illinois in the
year 1887 where he resided until he
entered Oberlin college, Ohio, whore be
graduated. He sfterward read law in
Norwalk, Virginia, and finished his
studies at the Richmond Law school in
that state. He commenced the practice
of his profession in Mineral Point, Wis
consin, in partnership with Gen. Amasa
Cobb. now on the supreme bench OF
Nebraska, in 1852. He was elected to
the legislature of Wisconsin in 1858, and
at the expiration Of his term was sp-
pointed circuit Judge OF the fifth judicial
circuit of that state. which position be re-
signed to enter the army as Lieut.. Col. OF
Fourteenth Wisconsin regiment. He
was wounded ct Shiloh, and upon his
recovery was commissioned to raise the
Thirty-tirst Wisconsin regiment. Of
which he was appointed colonel. He
served in the department of the Miss is-
sippi under Grant and Sherman, and at
the close of the war wac appointed law
officer of the internal revenue depart
ment at Washington. and also served as
assistant attorney-general of the
In 1875 at the express desire OF Sam
uel J. Tilden, he canvaeeed the state OF
Indiana, making 125 open air speec hes
in that memorable campaign. He ar
rived in Los Angeles in 1887.
Should he be elected he will discharge
the duties of his Office with credit TO
himself and honor to his party.

BURNS EXPLAINS.

Boss Burns explains kia "blocks OF
votes" letter to my Dear Estee" by
saying that he referred to interviews
had with prominent merchants and
labor leaders.
1t makes really very little difference
what explanation Burns makes, ae no
one will believe him anyhow. Every
sane man who reads his letter knows he
referred to interviews had with corpora
ton managers and local bosses, who
control voteH.
The California public will pay just as
much attention to Burns explanation as
would be paid to that OF q professional
burglar found emerging from house
with atolen goods in his possession-D Dan
Burns is a professional vote buyer;
man who holds control of the Republi.

criminal element OF San Francisco, and

THE CITY CONVENTION.

The Democratic. convention which
meets today should nominate no doubt
full man. The citizens of Los Angeles
pay but little attention to party promises
in city affairs, and it will be useless to
put forward good platform and then
nominate weak ticket.
The delegates should carefully consider
the merits of the different aspirants.
and the fact that the candidate is a good
fellow and lone of the boys" unless he
has other qualifications, should not
justify his nomination.
The candidate for mayor must be
man we'll known to the business men of
Los Angeles. He must be a man of
good business ability, he must enjoy the
confidence of the taxpayers or he will
not be elected.

be ovsrborne by mere idle assertion.

eant gold watch.

ASSERTIONS ARE NOT ARGU-

; With hysterical plant the Express de.
votes a column of its valuable space to

almost daily reiteration of misstate-
.ments and distortions OF the truth, our
contemporary has apparently arrived at
that point where, with mental vision in
eclipse and understanding blunted. it ia
willing TO nose as journalistic Don
Quixote and attempt the impossible tack
OF overcoming by mere assertion incon-
trovertible facts.
