provide for the consolidation or the OF
fees of county and city assessor. county
and city tax collector, county and city
treasurer. and county and city attorney;
and we pledge ourselves to persistently
exert our influence toward securing
proper legislation in this behalf.
We deplore the necessity to which
city officials are driven. OF being COM
PEELED to give the appointing of their
deputies and other clerical assistance to
men of wealth, as a consideration to in
duce said persons to sign the bonds or
such officials; and we demand that
steps, proper to correct this most I'M
republican evil be taken without delay.
Section 5.-We demand the abolition
of the system of letting out city work by
contract. especially that of street
sprinkling, street cleaning, and collec-
ton and disposition of city garbage;
and instead thereof are in favor of the
city doing it's own work by day labor,
hours constituting a working day, and
wage of not less than two dollars being
paid therefor.
We demand that only such persons be
employed in the service of the city as
shall actually be required, and that no
persons shall be employed who are not
citizens of the city and state.
Section Eve demand that no
street within boundaries to be deter
mined by ordinance, shall hereafter be
graded or paved until said street is sew
cred and supplied with water and gas
mains, with proper service pipes extend
ing to the property line of each lot. to
the end that when streets are put in
good condition they may be thus put in
tanned without necessity for disturbing
them by excavations for sewer, gas or
water purposes.
We further demand that the streets of
this city shall be kept in such improved
condition as is required by the extended
use of the bicycle.
Section I've demand that all street
car companies operating in this city
shall be compelled to carry into practice
the spirit of the ordinances wherefrom
| they derive their franchises to the END
that children attending the public
schools shall be allowed to ride thereto
| and therefrom at fare of 21a cents for
each way, and that such privilege shall
not be conditional upon the purchase by
said children of any certain number or
tickets; but that said children shall
enjoy such privilege upon rendering the
fare for one round trip, whereupon they
shall be entitled to return trip ticket
Section S-We demand such rear
rangement of the fire limits as shall
satisfy a discreet popular request
therefor.
Relieving that better service may be
secured from full paid fire department,
we demand that such charge be inaug-
urated without delay.
Section Classify, we strictly favor
the constant remembrance by all city
officials that they are the servants OF
the most humble as well as of the most
influential of our people, and that becom-
ing courtesy and strict attention to their
requests are ever due to the public. We
demand that all city officials. and par
ticularly the heads of departments, shall
be constantly in personal attendance to
4. II I@.rrt
ness hours; and further, in this connec-
ton, we deprecate the use of the influ-
| ence of his official position by any per-
son on behalf of any particular party.
or the devotion of time required in the
service of the public to political pur-
poses or to affairs of private nature.
THE NOMINEES.

| lected after four days elaboration, COM
| potency and other qualifications being
| considered.
| NJ. p. Snyder was named for mayor,
| and then there was great applause.
| j. l.. Murphy arose and explained that
| Mr.. Snyder had not been selected be {.
| cause he was a silver man. He had been
| named because he was an honest man,
| first and because he was beyond any
| and all doubt absolutely with the peo-
| pie on the all important water question.
| The nomination of Mr.. Snyder was
made unanimously by reclamation.
| J. r Rush and c. H. Hance were nam
ed for city attorney and city clerk

was endorsed for assessor and s. E. Full

were there last night and 1900 who were
not there but who will be in the field as
active campaigners against the allied
villainies of Los Angeles, which in this
| fight are being marshaled to defeat the
ticket headed by M. p. Snyder.
