The committee called by the Mayor has
gathered the money necessary to its ex-
penses. The reception courtesies shown

ouG the committee IS very small. and

There Is no special work to do, but it is
necessary to organize large committee

given an opportunity TO see Sacramento

mains to complete arrangements, the
committee requests US to present the
necessity for to-day's meeting urgently.

Is THE ELECTION DOUBTFUL?

When the rough work of the election
officers In San Francisco is considered.
1t seems surprising that any opposition
should be made to the proposition TO in
Yestigate it. Several OF the candidates
for city and county offices who appear to
have been defeated are talking OF having
a recount and there is no denunciation OF
them, yet some of the Democrats de-
nounce those who ask for q recount on
behalf of Estee for Governor Mr. Estee,
1t is generally believed by unprecedented
people, would not accept tile Office of
Governor on doubtful election. Repub-
llcans do not want him to be Governor
unless he was fairly elected by an UNI
doubted plurality. Do the Democrats
want Mr.. Budd to be less scrupulous I?
Very little doubt seems to be entertained
of Budds election, bus the little that is
being raised by charges Of fraud, back ed
by evidence OF miscounting, is so bad as
to cause some precinct officers to refuse
to certify to the returns as correct. Do
Mr.. Budd'S best friends want him to ac-
cept the office with these elements OF
doubt clinging to his apparent election ?
The greater their confidence in his cleo
ton the stronger should be the desire TO
purge IL Of suspicion.

1t is absurd to contend that this reversal
Of political sentiment is the legitimate
fruit Of Democratic tariff legislation. 1t
Is we'll known to every sensible citizen in
this country that President Cleveland
and the Democratic majority in Congress
were elected two years ago upon the plain
and distinct issue Of tariff reformation.
This is well-kl.Own and unquestioned
fact. 1t is also fact, known to every
reading person, tha5 no change whatever
was made in our tariff laws from the day
Cleveland took his seat in the White
House until about two months prior to
the recent elections, aud that all the
financial dearth, business depression,
labor strikes, ETC., for the past two years
were under the immediate workings of
the Mckinley protection law. Every
body knows that the financial panic
through which we have been passing for
more than two years past was upon US in
all its fury even before the election of
1892.

from this that our trade with Germany
IN cattle and beef products is OF limited
extent, and that its decree against their

MACHINE-RULE WANING.
Los Angeles Times.l
The necessity for divorcing municipal
governments from partisan control is
becoming more and more apparent.
The partisan machine is responsible for
nlne-tenths OF the corruption and mis-
government which have disgraced so
many OF our cities, large and small,
within the past generation. The case OF
Iammany is a conspicuous illustration.
Iammany was simply party machine
brought to a high degree of perfection
and kept in thorough working order by
those who had it in charge. Had it not

A Rancher Seriously Injured.
Los ANGELES, Aug. GA remarkable
electrical storm visited this city yester-
day. 1t did considerable damage and in
iured several persons. Shortly after S
A. NJ. the city became suddenly overcast
with dense clouds, and soon the light
ming commenced to play back and forth,
until the air was heavily charged with
electricity. All the electric instruments
in the city felt its effects.
The fire alarm system of thercity was
injured, many cars on the electric road
were rendered useless. and the telephone
system would not work. Telegraph in
struments suffered some damage. James
Reagan, an old resident, who runs
ranch just outside the city limits, was
struck by lightning, and was paralyzed
for several hours. He at first was given
up for dead, but may recover. Several
electric light poles on Ninth street, and
in other parts of the city were shivered
to splinters during the storm which lasted
for hours.
Heavy thunder was heard, and rain fell
to considerable amount during the
day. The heat has been intense all
day, and tonight is almost unbearable.
The oldest inhabitant fails to remember
anything like the present storm.
Rain has not fallen in this city in Au-
gust, before for seventeen years. Many
people in the city Tonight are pale with
fright, fearing that the earthquake pre-
dcted for this part of the State for August

GARFIELD TRAIN ROBBERY.

One of the Participants Identified-Led
i an Adventurous Career in California.
CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-The man giving his
name as Gordon, who participated in the
Garfield hold-up and the subsequent STIR
ring events last Friday night, and who
was identified as Billy Williams, we'll
known character on the Pacific Coast
was again identified to-day as Griswold.
Griswold's father is said to be a travelling
inspector of the Home Insurance Com
pany OF New York, and resides in that
city. The peopl" making the identifca
ton are officials of the assurance COM
pany, and they maintain that they are not
mistaken. II appears to be a case of DR..
Jekyll and MIR. Hyde.
During the day he filled the important
position of Fire Inspector. To-day the
timid, frightened wife called at the police
station and gave her name as Gordon,
saying she never knew her husband as
any other. 1t is believed the department
of police, with the help OF the railroad
companies, are running to earth in this
dual arrest long train of depredations of
which GriswOld Is the center.
The story OF Griswold'S life is unique.
Born almost 2S years ago. his father tried
to give him fair education. But the
boys instincts were wild. He disap-
peared from home and was next heard of
in the West as cowboy and ranchman.
After several years of adventurous life in
California, oregon and Idaho he came
to Illinois and secured employment as a
brakeman at Rock Island. While there
he married, and the influence of his wife
caused him to lead quieter life. His
father then used his influence to get him
place in the Manchester Life Assurance
Company. 1t appears, however, that the
reform was not complete, but just wnen
Griswold began his double career in the
employ of the assurance company is not
known. Further disclosures are ex-
pected at the inquest over the remains of
Detective Owens, which will be post
poned for week to permit the police to
make full investigation of Griswold's S
and Lakes careers.
William Lake, who was desperately
wounded in the raid, is feeling better. 1t
is said he came of good family, and that
his father is William Lake of Oswego,
n. Y, traveller for a New York paper
house. Lake is casket-trimmer, and
had been out of work for months, and he
and his wife were on the verge of starva
ton when, in company with Griswold,
he made the sensational raid.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Among the pas

mandie was the Hon. Levi p. Morton,
who was seen on the promenade deck of
the steamer shortly after she dropped
anchor in quarantine. He evidently an
ticipated the questions to be propounded
to him. as the following note which he
handed TO those who greeted him shows:
"In reply TO your questions, / can only
say that although l have no desire TO en-
ter public life, l have received so many
letters from many personal ana political
friends in different parts OF the State urg-
ing me to allow the use of my name as q

New YORK, Aug. PA special dis
patch from Managua says: The Nicara-

communication to the United States:
Evidence is accumulating to convict the
lnstigators Of the recent revolt among
the Mosquito Indians. Several foreign
erS are among those who have been ar
rested for conspiracy, and the most
deeply implicated of them all is Hatch,
the so-called British Vice-consul for the
Mosquito coast. He thought his position
would protect him from arrest, but Nicar-
aqua had never recognized him officially
nor granted him an exequator. His APP
poIntment is therefore void as far as
Nicaragua is concerned and with his ac-
completes in sedition he will be punished
