committee have been occupied during
the last two days in an endesvor to con-
vince the general public, through their
newspaper organs, that q perfect mael-
strom of harmony exists within tie
ranks OF the g.o.p. in this county.
In the interest Of justice to the G o. p.-
A.P.A. executive committee, free and
fair canvass OF the field has been made,
and the following facts developed:
First-It is found that Henry T. Gage,
than whom no more atalwart Republic
can exists, was (presumsbly in the in.
terest of the harmony which now exists)
grossly insulted by Republican con-
vention for introducing sete of resolu-
tions which were directly in line with
the constitution OF the United States.
The personal encounter between
Henry 7. Gage and G. w. Knox OF the
Seventh ward, which followed the adj
jcurnment of the convention, was, it 10
now explained, merely tine playful ex'
change of affection which was to DO
expected alter passage OF arms on the
floor OF harmonious convention.
The fact that MIR. Cages numerous
business engagements prevent him from
taking hia usual active part IN the coun-
ty Campaign, 10 pointed to with pride
by John James Gosper ct al. as an evil
dence Of harmony.
A leading Republican Was interviewed,
and in general terms outlined the peod-
liar kind of harmony which now exists
in the g. o. p.
Harmony Well, should say 30,
and with great big IL.
"Do you suppose the friends OF Judges
Clark and Mckinley will not be for har-
mony after the manner In which Dan
Burns, Hervey Lindley and Charley
Wsbber turned them down in ths inter-
est of Jimmy Copeland's protsge, Judge
florence of San Diego?
! "Lindley frat buncoes Clark by get
ting Dan Burns to telegraph that the
choice of the Los Angeles county conven-
ton would be his (BurnsD choice at the
Sacramento convention.
''Thls accomplished, and Clark gives
his quietus, Lindley rushes to San Fran
cieco; Jimmy Copeland comes to Los
Angeles from Ian Diego, and the har-
monizing trick is done.
mckinley is swamped by Billy Arthur
of Pasadena on the second ballot by
trade made at the last moment.
John James Gosper and Col G,
Wiley Wells fall in line and Mckinley
Joins the ranks of the dead ducks" and
all in the interest of the harmony which
now prevails.
"Then followed the congregational con-
veDtion.
''Lindley anxious for the success Of
his arch enemy (?) Jim McLschlan,
make0 private deal with A. w. Kin
ney of the Fourth ward, who, in con-
sideraton of his betrayal OF the choice
of his delegation, to which he WAS
pledged, was made state central COM
mitteeman.
"Kinney was further honored with
the position OF secretary of the congress
sional convention. and when called on
to vote, made the same explanation,
that he had been elected a delegate to
the state convention in consideration OF
his pledging himself to vote against
Lindley's man, jim McLachlan, but had
changed his mind.
1.-The fact that all the rest of his dele
cation voted againot McLachlan is given
out now ss an evidence of harmony in
3le anti.McLachlan-L Llndley ranks.
"Harmony? ?? OF course there is
harmony in the ranks Of the e. o. D.
''Look ct the unanimitv OF opinion as
to where the friends of Capt. John
Cross, who was so neatly done up at
Sacramento by Lindlev and Webber,
stand on the question OF harmony.
Captain Gross is 30 imbued with har-
mony that in yesterdays papers the
official announcement is made that he
is an independent candidate for mayor.
when Gross goes in for harmony
you can bet your pile on the fact that
the whole @. o. p. ia in state OF
quiescent and peaceful reposs.
"Hsrmony?? Well, you astonish me
How could anything but harmony exist
when Lindley, Webber, Fred Wood,
Charley Silent, Francis J. Thomas, j. j.
Gosper and Colonel Chamberlain. late
OF the Dirigo club, San Franciaco, are
banded together in the one common
interest, and are in daily teleQraphio
Communication with Dan Burns. w. w.
Stowe and other shining lights of the

in this state?"
So spoke not one but several leading
Republicans who were interviewed on
the momentous question OF harmony.
Mention OF the special brand of har.
mony which now exiets in the ranke of
the solons who aspire to control city
politics will be made at lator date.
AS an evidence of the existing har-
mony it can be stated as fact that
Charles Silent and others are rumored
to be working to defeat Mrs. Hughes,
the only lady member of the city board
of education. This, and much more on
the subject of harmony, was cleaned
from the talkative Republican.
And the fact is that not q statement
was made by him which is not fact.
II you doubt it. interview any we'll

inside of the Sacramento convention or
the two held in this city.
1t is understood that q. W. Fleming
and Colonel Chamberlain nave promised

lican candidate for public administrator.
