SAN Francisco, May 4, 1894.
The Republican politicians OF Los An
geles are here in body, the coming
meeting OF their state central committee
bringing them at this time. Each is
the representative OF some candidate for
@ place on the state ticket, and to hear
them tell it, their choice is "one OF the
test men on EARTH" Why, OF course he
is-until after election.
The Los Angeles judiciary has some
members who are willing to be the nom
inee for Justice Of the supreme bench.
Judge Mckinley and clerk were here
making their fight in person. The
former is on the lookout for likely dele
gates from early morn until late at
night, and when he eRpies one his be-
whisksred countenanco light up, he
strides forward. makes a grab for the
transporting victim and buttonholea
him until he has mis- final answer.
Judge CLARK, though young iu years,
has the dignity of a Justice Field, and
even his ambition will not permit him
to lay it aside in the presence OF poll
tician or ordinary mortal. This fight
for seat on the supreme bench has
brought to the suaface members OF the
bar who are anxious for Judicial honora
from every portion OF the state, and will
undoubtedly prove a most exciting con-
test in the coming conventions.
These Los Angeles politicians when
here have o weakness for telling tales
out of school, and many choice bit OF
your local political gossip is thoroughly
ventilated at the places where they con-
gregate. At one OF these little gather
ings, a few days since. the names OF City
Attorney Charles Mcfarland and his
very enterprising deputy, Will Dunn,
came up. From the conversation IT
seems that Messrs. Mcfarland and
Dunn have slated themselves respect
lively for superior judge and city attor'
ney, The furtherance OF this very laud-
able scheme on the part OF these gentle
men was not acquiesced in by the speak
ers. They contendsd that mcfarland
and Dunn were, to use mild term, try
| ing to hog things, and that it was high
| time to bury them politically. They had
three times been elscted to their present
places, and the only ones to benefit By
it were the two individuals themselves.
| 1t was claimed that they cared nothing
for their party or their friends, their
sole purpose being TO enrich themselves
at the public trough, where they had
feasted for 80 long with the aid OF the
very men who now declare that it is
high time to call halt to their further
political aggrandizement.
