ALAMEDA NON-PARTISAN CON.
VENTION.

A convention of NOn-Parlisans will
assemble in Alameda County to-day. The
object Of this convention Is to nominate
county officers. The fact that this body
will Bile in advance of all other nomi-
mating conventions has taken the local
politicians by surprise. The movement
assumes in their minds the character of a
dark horse" Presumably the conven-
ton will nominate men for county officers
Of all shades of politics. 1t is doubtful if
a single incumbent of any county office
will have a place on the Non-Partisan
ticket. That is where the ''trouble will
begin" A great many local politicians
have been working like beavers to secure
nominations. Most of the county Offices
are to be filled under the law enacted by
the last Legislature for four years. In
some of them there are small fortunes, ac-
cOrding to the present rating.
NOn-Partisans, having accomplished a
revolution a few months ago in the city
government of Oakland, have been quiet
for the past few months. The municipal
organization as such takes no part in the
convention called for to-day. Its especial
mission is to look after municipal affairs.
A number of citizens have decided TO act
independently aud propose to make up a
ticket of good men without regard to party
affiliations.
The rate of taxation for the present year
in that part of Alameda County included
in the city of Oakland will be about 50 IL,
rate which every well-disposed citizen
knows is much too high. For some years
past the county government has not been
administered TO the satisfaction of the
citizens. The scramble has been for the
fat Offices. There ought to have been a
decided reduction in the tax rates this
year, inasmuch as not less than 100000
has been received on claims against the
State and gone into the county treasury,
with prospect Of still further inflow.
If the NoD-Partisans make up ticket of
candidates designating the best men for
these several Offices it will probably re-
ceive strong support. Even If il does not
carry it will have a tendency to force the
other parties to nominate men who are
outside Of the present rings and combina-
tions. Citizens who have complained of
the county administration will at least
have an opportunity to make their in
fluence felt on the side of reform.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

The denomination by the Democrats Of the
Second West Virginia Congressional District of
the father OF the Wilson bill recalls the fact
that In 1882 his majority was only ten votes,
in 1884, 1884; in 1886, 90; in 1888, 4O5; in
1890, 2075, and in 1892, 1881. In the most

was defeated in the Senate. That Mr..
Cleveland could not help But he came in
the second term with both houses uu-

to lead his party this time there is no ex-
cuse but incapacity. He has not got
through the ordeal either without receiy-
ing personal wounds. The part Secretary
Carlisle played in the adjustment of the
sugar schedule was either played with or

STRAIGHT TALK,

Almost everybody knows of Ignatius

times prominent member of every
political party and ism that has de-

public, or rather political. record is

wonderful intellect. wide information
and pre-eminent command of language.
He is now running weekly newspaper

Commenting upon the complex situation
brought about by confessions galore
and the recriminations Of the suspected
criminals, which led the Minneapolis

The Minneapolis Tribune suggested
the other day that these red handed
monsters may escape: that the confess.
ion OF Blixt was made under promise or
duress, and on some technical ground
cannot be used against Hayward; that
Bill Erwin has been hired for a large
sum to defend them; and that all that
money and geniusean do will be done to
turn them out Unpublished to range
through new pastures of horror. We
cannot believe ii, but If il should prove
true. If wealth is to shield these miscre-
ants, then we say let the outraged peo-
pie rise up and hang them both and
their lawyers with them. No man. un- |

bring the securities of society to |
nought and save the ruthless murderers |
OF women from punishment. There is |
IN this case no possible doubt rs to the |
crime or the criminals; all they are en-
titled to Is fair presentation of facts,
and swift and condign punishment.
