Some of the Los Angeles Candidates
Bound 60 Got Left.
SACRAMENTO, June 19.-[Special. J.
The delegates from Los Angeles county
and In fact from the region south OF the
Tehachepi are the most eagerly sought
after Statesmen at this great gathering
of the Republican clans. 1t is pretty
well settled that Los Angeles lie in the
combination this year; and it is equally
true that something has got to break
some polictical aspirations from the
sunny south be nippsd by chilling frost.
There are too many candidates from
Los Angeles county for the delegation to
carry successfully and some OF them
will have to be dumpted overheard.
The Heavenly Twins" as ex-Gover-
nors Sheldon and Gosper have been sptly
named, are both on hand in the conven.
ton hall, and in the hotel Hobbies and
have been doing tremendous amount
of button holding. Which awaited them
naught, as shown by today's proceed
ings, McLachlan securing the nominal
ton on first ballot, as all along predicted,
by an even greater majority than was
claimed for him.
1t does not take a very astute observer
long to satisfy himself that the conven-
tion is staked out for Estee. and it would
not take much guessing to name the
lieutenant governor. 1t should be stated
that Editor Osborne of the Express is
not in this fight, having been shunted
off very early in the game in fovor OF S.
G. Willard, of Los Angeles, and it looks
90 if the latter would get the persimmon.
The northern statesmen, as usual, want
all OF the offices, and there are several
patriots anxious to fill this place. SEN
ator E. G. Seymour OF San Bernardino
is likewise q candidate.
Judge Mckinley is no longer hopeful,
but Trowbridge Ward. who wants to be
clerk OF the supreme court, feels elated
in proportion as Mckinley 10 depressed.
for il Mckinley should be q winner,
Ward cannot. One of these two offices
must go outside of Los Angeles county.

SACRAMENTO, June 19.--The Sixth

attempt to adjourn the convention to
Santa Cruz in August. The motion was
amended to make the place San Luis

They Resolve to Have q Finger In th
Political Pie.
SACRAMENTO. June l9.-The oppoBi
ton captured the session OF the Stat
League OF Republican Editors this morn
ing. About so editors were present. i
resolution denouncing boasism and ma
chine politics was introduced at tn,
meeting yesterday, bat after q struggl
was laid on the table. Today, however
it was taken from the table, aud q sub
sttute offered which was milder In tom
and passed. The Burns men say therl
is no significance In the action besides
they claim the editors have organized
manly for the purpose Of getting theiI
hands in the political pie, and their ut
terances should not be taken as repre-
senting the sentiments of the people IL
the interior of the state.
At the meeting of the league the conn
mittee appointed yesterday to draft
resolutions on the political situation
made made it's report.
Allen Lemon, OF Santa Rosa, moved
the adoption OF the report and spoke
eoquently of Governor Mavkham's SER
vices to the party. The motion was
seconded by Marcus ID. Boruck, who
made an enthusiastic speech, highly
complimentary to the governor and the
manner in which he had conducted bid
administration. Mr.. Boruck's remarks
were greeted with great applause.
The ''joker" OF the resolutions--if 10
may be 80 termed-is in the last clause.
The text OF the resolution follows:
Resolved, That the administration Of
Governor Markham merits the hearty
approval of every Republican, and the
California league of Republican newspa-
pers proclaims that his excellency is de-
serving in every respect of the warmest
commentator of the Republican party,
by reason of the course pursued by him
as chief magistrate of the state OF Cali
fornia.
Resolved, That this league respectful
ly recommends the election OF at
least two OF its members to mem
bership on the executive committee of
the Republican state convention.
Resolved, That the league OF Republic
can newspapers asks the Republican
party in convention assembled to select
as its nominee for superintendent Of
state printing member Of the newsps-
per fraternity, believing that such nom
ination will better the interests OF the
party and largely assist in the election
of the ticket.
Resolved. That the California league
of Republican newspapers desires to
place itself on record az in favor OF puri.
ty in politics. We believe that princi-
pies and candidates should come as d.
rectly from the people 90 possible and
with the least possible dietation from
any source, and that any such dictation
shall be regarded by the league as q
direct menace to the interests Of the
people OF the state of California and con-
trary to the principles Of the Republican
party.

CITY GOVERNMENT.

In New York City there are some men
hard at work attempting TO drag it's
municipal affairs out of the ouagmire of
fraud and thievery Tammany rulers
have put them into.
With this movement everybody Is
well acquainted. II began in a very
small way. One man threw his heart
aud soul into it, and kept at work.
Gradually he enlisted others. Now the
impulse for cleanliness and common
honesty Is so strong that none OF the
old political combinations can check it.

THE POPULAR DRIFT.

There have been elections in seye,
states since the tide of popular disfavo
began To roll over the Democrats.
Rhode Island led the way in April
when the doubt that has hovered abou
our political status for several years wa,
swept completely away. and the Demo-
cratic plurality of the previous year was
supplanted by Republican victory OF
5000 votes. This was, it must be re-.
membered. before tie full strength of the
revolt against Democracy had become
manifest, or had the reason to manifest
itself that exists now.
Then came Oregon, which turned a
5000 Democratic plurality into a 1000
lead for the Republicans.
Alabama, where the Democratic ma
Jority has been anywhere from 90, 900 to
100000, escaped going into the Repub-
lican column by barely 10000.
Arkansas gave 10000 majority for
CLEVELAND in 1899, ntrti is Democratic
this year by only $4,000.
Vermont just doubled her last Repub-
lican majority for her Republican guber-
material candidate.
Maine more than doubled the majority
given HARRISON in 1892, and gave the
Republican candidate for Governor the
largest vote in the States history.
Georgia, only the other day, escaped
the Popuist ticket by barely 5000. It
went Democratic in 1890 10y 105. coo.
These are figures that but family in
dicate the temper of the people. They
are not merely a rebuke TO the Demo-
Gratis; they are an earnest of renewed
confidence in the Republicans.
This confidence must be more fully |
justified In the future than it has been
ia the past, despite the magnificent |
record of the party.
The time has fully arrived when legis-
lation must be conducted upon scien-
tifc basis. il the party in power hopes TO
retain the confidence Of the people.
The people have become students. a
fact that escapes the notice Of many
political managers, but rapidly becom-
Ing the most important fact for them to
and understand.
The rapidity OF the spread OF political
science, ,predicated upon actual conditions
Is phenomenon at once surprising and

consider what can be done at the poll
to give the city an honest administra
tion. This committee has formulated ,
platform. the first two paragraphs O
which The News quotes:
Municipal government should be entirely al.
vorced from party politics and from selfish per-
sonai ambition or gain
The economical, honest and busnessiiks man
sgement of muicipal anairs has nothing to do with
questions OF National or state politics.
These, two paragraphs indicate very
clearly the wide difference between the
proper view OF the theory Of city govern
ment and the too prevalent political
view. When New York is able to
choose executive officials upon such a
platform there will be ground for hope
that such carnival of dishonor as has
ruled there for years will be discon tinued.
When other cities can adopt such
theory OF government there will be very
little OF the present municipal problem
left for discussion.
The fundamental conception of / he
functions OF city, and OF city govern
ment, in the public mind, is generally
wrong. Properly considered, there is
no political significance whatever to the
city. Its government, its ordinances,
nave nothing to do with political rights
or privileges. No mans right to vote
can be affected by anything city may
do, even with reference to matters that
exclusively concern itself.
Inc functions of city government are
strictly OF the same sort as every man
exercises in the conduct Of his own busi-
ness; he cares for his lawn, the city cares
Tor the parks held in common. All the
