A Good Deal About Politics-special
Council Meeting.

PASADENA, March 6.-Ine following
communication has been received by
the HERALD, relative to the recent Re-
publican convention. 1t is SELF
explanatory:
'To put it mildly the Republicans
have prepared a terrible dose for the
voters OF Pasadena to swallow, and 1t
remains to be seen whether or not Pasas
denians will take their medicine without
remonstrance. Max O'Rell in his book,
Johnathan and His Country. in his de-
scription of this country says this Is q
great country; sixty millions OF people,
mostly colonels.' Had he been at the
Republican convention at Pasadena,
March I'd, he would have said this is
great country; sixty millions OF people,
mostly bankers. banker neaos tne

as we'll as for some of the rest OF us with
different faith, to learn that "the Re-
publican party, through the wisdom OF
its statesmen and the patriotism OF its
supporters, had made this, the grandest,
greatest, freest and richest republic on
was responsible for all the dire distress,
calamity and disaster that ever hap
pened.
I'VE had supposed that our townsman
and faithful servant of the people, the
present incumbent, James Clarke, was
entitled to some recognition; we were
informed that Republicane recognize
none but Republicans, and now our
friends of the third party, the Prohibi-
tionists, or ct least the large delega-
tion present, can congratulate them
selves that their sins are forgiven aud
they are safely landed IN full fellowship
of the 60. p. again. But they ehould
remember that Republicans recognize
none but Republicans of the simon
pure stock, and If they wish to remain
in the good graces of the Republican
party they must drop their cranky
ways"
NEW TICKET.
Political affairs have again taken an
other turn and the prospects are that a
new ticket will be sprung in the next
couple OF days in opposition to the one
nominated by the Republicans last
meek.
What the complication OF the new de.
bat 1t will probably be of an indepen-
dent character and will carry the sup
port of the Prohibition wing OF the
Republican party. Considerable oppo.
sition has sprung up from various
quarters to the present ticket, OF which
this move is the result.
