gramme was q fine selection and we'll
rendered. A number OF encoree were

There Is quite little criticism made
ON the resolutions adopted by the Depo-
cratic central committee at their meeting
last Monday. 1t is said the resolution
does not voice the sentiment OF the
Democracy of Orange county in the
least, but 1t is the cutgrcwth OF little
spitework on the part of one or two.
Mr.. George Walters, an old pioneer OF
California, well known all over the state,
is visiting friends in Santa Ana and
vicinity. He now lives in Long Beach,
where he has retired from active busi-
ness.
CORRECTION.
In Yesterdays letter a mistake was
made in two words, which change the
meaning of the resolution by the CEN
trail committee quite materially, It
should read in the latter part OF the
first resolution: "Defunct ring that
thrives," and not ''defunct ring of
thieves" We gladly make theabove
correction, as it was not the intention OF
the committee to convey any such idea.
The mistake was made in setting up the
resolution.
The Santa Ana Blade gives the total
number OF children in Orange county,
Tor 1898, as being 5077, and that of 1894
at 6246, making 1t appear that our
county had increased only 1863 children
in the Last year and that Santa Ana had
lost instead of gained, but the discFep-
sncy is as follows: Last year the census
marshal enumerated sll children that
were under 1S, while this year he did
not enumerate any who had passed their
10th year or 18th birthday, which will
make vast difference in the gain OF
children in this city. Our gain has been
as great per cent as that of any city in
this county.
The baseball game today between the
Boyle Heights Stars of Los Angeles and
the Santa Ana picked nine was we'll
played, and everything was in favor Of
the Santa Ana boys up the sixth inning,
when the Los Angeles boys got one
score. Up to this time the game stood
to 0. This was the last score the Stars
made, the score standing Is to in favor
OF Santa Ana at the close.
Col. and Mrs. Parks leave for Okla
