will prove highly interesting to our
readers. In Thursdays HERALD we
commented at considerable length on
the salient features OF this letter. We
will just cay now that no one can read
the views of Mr.. Bertrom Curry without
being struck by the hesrtlessness of the
advocates of the single gold standard.
They are, compared to those of old time
insnciers, W hat the car of J uggernaut was
to ordinary agencies of cruel fsnsti-
cism. The heartless cynicism with
which Mr.. Bertrora Curry looks upon
the universal misery which would flow
from the acceptance OF steadily ap-
preciating gold standard reminds one of
nothing go much as OF the brutality OF
the nobleSse of Francs before the fret
French revolution. The only really
strong tenet the Populst party has is
its devotion to the double standard OF
gold and silver and free coinage OF both
metals. All the indications point to the
triumph of the white metal in the near
future; and, as the HERALD was one OF
the very first journals to espouse the
cause OF silver, we gladly surrender q
large portion OF our space to Senator
Jones's inimitable summary of the pres
ent political stains OF the controversy
which will not down at the bidding OF
trimming politicians.

THEY DON'T LIKE 1T,

The New Executive Republican 90 m
mittes of Fifteen.
Chairman Wood OF the Republican
county central committee yesterday aft
ernoon made public the names OF the
new executive committee of Is, which
ia supposed to be the inside council of
the Republican party in the coming
campaign and to thwart the schemes
and strntagems OF the opposing party.
The committee is made up as follows !:
First supervisorial district-C. E.
Slauson of Monrovia, M. H. Weight Of
Pasadena, John Wssson of Pomona.
Second supervisorial district-Chsrles
Silent OF the Fifth ward, B. W. Lee OF
the Fourth ward, DR.. q. A. Cutler OF the
Seventh ward. all of Los Angeles city.
Third supervisorial district-Dr. W.
L. Wills of the Second ward, Los Ange-
les city; George Ii. Stewart OF the Third
ward, Los Angeles city j. w. Waugh OF
the Fourth ward. Los Angeles city.
Fourth supervisorial district-G. P.
Adams. University; 8. 2. Rees, Redon-
do; James G. Rives, Downey.
Fifth supervisorial district-J. @.
Sheerer. Glendale; M. D. Johnson. First
ward, Los Angeles city; W, r. Sargent,
Egth ward, Los Angeles city.
The hew committee has not excited
the widest enthusiasm among the can
didates; in fact, there are good many
of them who spent yesterday afternoon
in doing some very vigorous Kicking. In
the first place, they say that there are
only two men on the committee who
nave ever served on q committee before
in Los Angeles politics, to-wit: Judge
Silent, who is in the interest oil the
would be boss, Otis, and s. p. Rees OF
Redondo. While the rest OF the gentlemen
are good men, they know ss much about
unraveliDg the tangled skein of politics
as the most juvenile member OF an
adolescent kindergarten. Others OF the
candidates say that with a lot OF green
men in politics at the helm, and Judge
Silent working his sweet will, with Otis
in the backround, they have as much
show of getting good results as o feline
with his claws clipped in q region that
is said to be somewhat warmer than Los
Angeles was at high noon Yesterday. The
temperature OF the different candidates
particularly in the region OF the collal
was very high yesterday when they gol
q glimpse of the personnel OF the com init
tee. 1T is absurd to go into fgh
with mex perlenced leaders" said one o
the candidates who, knows something
OF the ways OF politics. II have talket
with a number OF the men who are OF
the ticket with me and we propose nov
to make our own campaign. We viii
spend our money and make our fight a.
we deem best always keeping in lint
with the purity of election law, for w
realize that it would be folly to go VI
against the able leaders on the othe
side of the political fence with com
lnittee OF tyros in command. No sir, VI
will make our own campaign"
Several other candidates took th'
same ground. They had no objection tt
the general character and standing
the memb bers of the committee but the!
actively protest against their woeful IN
experience.

THE TWO COUNTY COMMIT TEES.
Democrats and Republicans
Preparing For Battle.
Executive Committees Appointed By
Each Party.
The Republican Candidate Said Not to

the Mesting.

The Democratic county central COM
mittee met yesterday afternoon to per-
feet a permanent organization at the
Jetfersonisn club rooms. Judge Stephens
presided and, on taking the chair, said
his object in calling the committee to-
gether was to get it in shape for imme-
diate work. There was only limited
time left to DO the work of the campaign
and il was vitality important that the
com mittee should get in shape for active
and energetic work at once. The selec-
tion OF an executive committee and q
permanent secretary was the first step
in this direction.
Mr.. Eoerls moved that the conven.
tion proceed to elect permanent score
tary. Mr.. Ii. p. Wilson declined to
serve and Mr.. Burke nominated Mr.. j.
A. Brewer for the office. Mr.. James
was of the opinion that the chairman
should select the secretary as he was
most closely associated with him.
Chairman Stephens said that any good
Democrat would be acceptable to him,
and be preferred that the committee
should make the selection. Judge
Mitchell nominated Mr.. A. Rsmish for
secretary. Mr.. Burke stated thai in the
interest of harmony he would withdraw
the name of Mr.. Brewer. The nomina.
tion of Mr.. Ramish was then made by
acclamat:on.
Chairman Stephens WAS given the
necessary authority to select . COM
mittee of 10 who shall act as an execu-
tive committee. Further, that the
chairman should not be restricted by
the supervisorial lines in the selection
OF the committee, in order that o
quorum could be readily secured, and
with too many county members would
render this difficult Mr.. ]. A. Breuer
was then elected assistant secretary.
There were two contesting delegates
from the Tenth precinct, Messrs. Peter
son and Garcia. and the matter was re-
fsrred to committee Of three. consist.
ing OF II. P. Wilson, Frank James and
Thomas Savage.
Chairman Stephens stated that the
convention on Wednesday might be
called on to do some very important
work and it was hoped that there would
be large attendance OF the delegates.
Judge Ryan appeared before the COM
mittee and resigned as a member of the
auditing commit ee, saying that his du-
ties in the district attorneys Office might
interfere with his service as q commit
teeman.
Mr.. Isaac Cohen of Redondo made sp-
plicstion for the endorsement OF the
committee for the Office of postmaster at
Rsdondo. The matter was referred to
the executive com mmittee, and the secre-
tsry read two proposals from a number
OF printers Offering to print q daily
Democratic paper during the campaign,
giving the committee control Of it's edi-
torial columns, on receipt of ~ cents
per copy for 1000 copies per day, were
referred to the executive committee and
the meeting ad journed.

JAMES BURNS. OF Troy. N. Y, turned
out to be bad man and was sentenced
to six years at the Auburn penitsntisry
for assault with dangerous weapon.
Governor Flower was appealed to on the
ground that Burns had large family
and was a good hearted man, being only
dangerous when under the intiu-
ence OF liquor. Governor Flower
pardoned him with the proviso
that If he drank any Intoxicating
liquor he should serve on the six remain
ing years OF his original sentence. Burns
got drunk at the end OF 10 days and was
arrested and sent back to the peniten-
tiary. He brought hsbsas corpus suit
in one of the lover courts which was
decided against him, and now his case
ia up for hearing in the supreme court.
His counsel take the ground that the
governor had no right to impose any
such obligations or to deny q citizen the
right to take drink.
The herald., 1894-09-16

The temperance movement in the
south is growing in strength, especially
in the states of Virginia, North Carolina
and Georgia. There has been such an
abundance OF evils arising from the
liquor habit in those states that news
papers are dropping their support of the
Democracy and going over to the tenn.
perance cause. But what is to be feared
elsewhere 10 what is 20 be feared there
that prohibition will prove as eignal
failure as it has in Maine, Kansas and
Iowa. TIE only difference between
those states and California is that here
. man gets drunk in a saloon and there
he becomes obiusticated in a drug store,
bat he gets blazin', blind drunk all the
same. The fault is that prohibition does
not prohibit.
The herald., 1894-09-16

The continual buzz which one hears
on the streets OF pulling down this can
didate and setting up that is hardly Gals
culated to inspire one with a very high
esteem for the politicians of this burg oil
ours. To form one's impressions from
these worthless the spoils of office are the
only things thought of and principle
counts for nothing. This ia scarcely the
way to commend party to the voter.
The late Democratic county convention
formulated an excellent platform, but
its good effect on the public has been
largely frittered away by this intermin-
able trading talk. The people take
about as much interest in one set OF
Bpoilsmen as in another. "Tyrean and
Trojan are alike to them"

THE Hon. w. P. G. Breckinridge by
this time realizes that he is q very fool
ish mana thing which his iudicious
friends knew long ago. His attempt to
force himself on q self-resp pecting COM
munity after the unutterable scandals
connected with his name. is the most
brazen thing in American history. Not
withstanding his showy and confessed
talents, he is striking illustration OF
the scriptursl aphorism that though
you may bray fool in a mortar with a
pestle with wheat, yet will not his fool
ishness depart from him."
