heller and special messenger OF Col.
Dan Burns to ths atate central commit.
teemen OF Los Angeles county, was in
high feather yesterday as he emerged
from the Hammarn baths, where, to use
his own language, he had been "reduc-
in the ewellin' altar three days CT
'chasin down do lins'." He informed q
few OF his friends, in stric. confidence,
that he WAS in love wild de town and de
. bosses who runs it. Said he: "Me opin.
ion is changed since zee de workin OF
de system dowl2 here; why. its dc easi-
est graft l ever seen. Yer see, de big
Republican minority makes IL a snap for
Lindley and Webber and de small fry to
run de- machine to order, and de long
hairs, who han three or four small wards,
aud some Of de country thinks dey doee
1t all until after do nominations is made.
and den dey accures each other of being
traitors and whole lot more hard nnnnee,
ana dey kicks and growls and walks up
to do seek and eats de- fodder. 1t beats
de kernels system of buyin' up de
whole city de way he does in 'Frieco,
cause it comes cheaper, and dere amt
de big kick from do independents and
dat gang.
why, just sizs up de ticket. Lindley
has talk wild de kernel and Bill Stowe
up in 'Frisco and decides on McLachlan
for conKress. He comes back down
here and fixes de matter wild Charley
Webber and do garg gets enough votes
to ewing de delegation. and de rest OF
&c candidates Ia out in de cold when de
irost sets in, gnd dey don't catch on to
how dc trick was turned. Lindley,
Wenber and de railroad has cinch and
de long hairs falls iu line and voten de
ticket. 'See?'
Den on de county tickle. do same old
snap is worked. Lindley and Webber
holds are high and dey pay off dere
political debts and do respectable ele.
ment takes dere medicine.
"You see de his Republican majority
makes it dead safe for de game to do
raw work. Lock Mt dc nominee for dis.
triot attorney. Mr.. Gosper aud Mr..
Register, two cranks. muet be fixed 80
dey won't kick over do tr0ces, and J. A.
Ddnneil 10 dsrs choice for district at
toruey and he cote de biacuit, in spite
o! de fact dat he turned widow woman
cut OF de Gsrvanza school and put his
sou In de place at q bigger grab out Of de
sack
"Den de sheriff; two big rauchers
want friend st court when do law suits
on dere ranch comes up, and dey dig up
. guy and calls him "houest" John and
rpehes him onto oe convention of de
.aoan,y when nobody knows him, and
do Lindley delegates and Cooper and
Reyiatet tnrna down do slate men for
housst John from de country and dat
trick is turned and de gang what did do
voting is in do clouds as to how IL was
dore.
"De banks dey want de county dough
f1r four years and dey works Webber for
do Eighth ward vote to work on and
trnts out dere man. MIR. Fleming and
de other fe.lah wonders where he's at.
"io square him de same old gang
makes him chairman Of de city con ven-
hon and he is out shouting for de man
who turned him down for county treas.
urer.
Den de candidate for tax collector he
gets de Same stick to stir his broth wild,
and de taxpayers don't know who he is
or what he will do. but de gang knows
who will be de deputies and Charley
Wehhsr win place some OF dem for sure
for de work dey done for him. Say, but
it's away up work, and don't yer for
get IL.
''Me and de kernel and Bill Stowe and
Higgins and do rest OF em up north
utedter wonder how de work was done
down here, but since have been sizin
de scheme up l am onto it. and its
dandy. and dey does it 90 smooth, too.
Why. look at de way dsy nominated dat
fellsh for coroner right off de reel and
dou ble-crossed dere own side partner for
tax collector. and he bit at de bait like
or bass. All down de line its de same
old thing, and dey tell me dat de voters
swallow de dose all right. But / am q
little afiaid dat do work die year is too
coarse; but Webber says no, it ia all
right and is willing to gamble few
scads dat he and Lindley will win out.
"Why, dat city convention was a
cosker; dey run de whole works and
named every man made up on
dc slate which was fixed in
do United States hotel two
weeks In advance. II do kernel
had been in charge OF de works himself
IL would not have gone smoother. And
say, did yer notice how de railroad
backed every play, even down to having
ono Of de attorneys defend one OF de
gang who ia in trouble In the police
court? You can bet yer life any Of de
gang who ia in trouble for de kernel or
any OF his agents. gets 90 best In de
land when dsy goes to court"
= MIR. Masters was highly pleased with
thu ways things were working, and pre-
diets that the ''ksrnel" will turn loose a
atiu wsd OF money in the Legislative tight
and intimated that Mr.. Webber and
Tom Mott would handle the long
green in this congressional district.
