In conversation with one OF the thor

HERALD reporter Cleaned the follow
ing facts. which will prove OF interest
at this writing.
In 1892 when Hervey Lindlcy was do.
feated as a candidate for congress, and
James McLachlan as q candidate for
district attorney, a consultation was held
in the California bank building and
James McLschlan, now a candidate for
congress- in this district, was appointed
attorney and private secretary OF the
Whittier reform school. There hos
been no notice OF his having resigned
either position. and yet the attempt is
being made to deny the fact that Lind.
ley dictated McLachlan's nomination for
congress, or that he is making his cam.
paign.
Meanwhile Mr.. McLachlan Is all
things to all mon, and it is q notorious
fact that from one end OF the district to
the other, Lindlev's old friends have
cards OF introduction to James. Like
old Joey Bsgstock, James is sly-dev' h
ely is James. But he will find on the
morning of November the 7th that the
voters are generally wide awake.
COMMENT AND NOTES.
A gentleman in this city Ia In receipt
of letter from an inmate of the SOL
diers' home, in which 1t lie ststsd as q
fact that an endeavor is being made to
trade the bulk OF the county ticket in
the interest OF DR.. Campbell, candidate
for coroner.
The Republican county central COM
mittee 10 having serious trouble with
their agents in the country. In several
instances poeters sent out have not been
properly distributed; in consequence
small audiences have greeted the can
didates.
For the frat time in 10 years the bot
ter element in the Republican party has
refused to take active interest in the
campaign. The lack OF in tersst ia due
to two CAUSES first. the universal dis
gust at the method used by Dan Burns
in debating tina nomination OF tee oSate
ticket. end second the lack OF confidence
in the ability Of the county central
committee.
When thu Republican roiormers assert
thar Lindley is dead politically, that
gentleman smiles and points to the fact
that his slate contained che names OF
Judge York, Summsrland for assessor.
Kelsey for public administrator, Flem-
ing for treasurer, Campbell for coroner,
Hodgmau for recorder, and Morrison
and Ovens for justices of the peace.
d. O. Morrieon, candidate on the Re-
publican ticket for city ]ustics, is having
considerable trouble explaining HIS rec
ord as tax title buyer. Hia partner,
Galbreth. is making hia fight.
NJ. I. Bowler, private detective for tn 9
Southern Pacific Railroad company, who
distinguished himeelt as volunteer
switchmsn during the late strike. is
making a vigorous campaign for John
| Burr, candidate for sheriff.
TINS friends of Judgs York, candidate
for Judge OF the superior court, are con-
graduating themselves ON having
secured the undivided support o! the
Lindlsy faction.
In an interview with friend OF Col. I.
r. Dunkelberger, the reporter learned
that while che colonePs friends were
panied to hear that John Burr, the Re-
publican candidate for sheriff, had no.
promised the colonel the appointing OF
under sheriff, they still had hopes that
the rumor had some foundation in fact.
1t is stated shat Mr.. Wright or Mr..
Hubbard of San Fernando, who have
acted for Burr throughout his fight, may
have made the promise, ga they are
both old friends of the rolonsl.
Under the new election law this
looks like reasonable solution of the
situation as it stands.
Colonel Dunkelberger's faiends point
to tho fact that IN the denial which WAS
published in last nights Express. par
ticular stress was laid on the fact that
Mr.. Dunkelberger would make a model
under sheriff and that no mention was
made of either Mr.. Wright or Mr.. Hub
bard.
At the meeting of Council No. IA A. P.
A., which met in Grand Army hall last
night, considerable i'll feeling was man
ifestsd against H. @. RssiGter in conSe-
quence of his Republication of the Repub-
lican party and j. J. Gospcr and @. W.
Fleming. 1t is rumored that Gosper
will call Mr.. Register to personal &C.
counting at their first meeting.
Evidence of the harmony which ex.
lists in Republican ranks is found in the
fact that Major George H. Bonebrske
and Colonel E. 2. Johnson have refused
to accept the nomination for mayor.
Several OF the candidates On tho Re-
publican county ticket are seriously
eidering proposition made by Jay joy
Gosper that they use his speech deliv-
cred at the Unity church as campaign
document.
The true inwardnsss OF Frank Low
rey's defeat for the nomination for
county clerk has leaked out. Bank
