Holders to be Shut Out

GUS pTeolnctS OF tnlS city ana county was
published in The Herald yesterday
morning, and the list of election officers
polling places and the number Of dele
gates to be allowed for each precinct,
will be again printed tomorrow.
The Trinity Is concentrating its
strength on Governor Merrill OF Po-
mona or General Johnstone Jones as
chairman of the county convention. The
hardest struggle in the primaries to-
morrow night will be In the various
precincts of the Third and Fifth wards.
Apparently for the purpose of proving
that the Southern Pacific Is not inter-
eSted in the coming struggle, Tom Nc
Cafferey Of the Arcade depot will not, as
The Herald predicted few days ago,
be delegate to the county convention.
Resolutions galore are to be intro
duced when the county convention meets
on June 18th. The national administra-
tion, should the Trinity be In control,
will not be mentioned at all Federal
office holders are to be barred by resolu-
tiOn from going to the state conventions;
silver at 16 to is to be indorsed with an
ironclad pledge. and the state admins
tration is to be censured for having
failed to fill the existing vacancies upon
both the board of Whittier school trus-
tees and also the Highlands insane asy-
lum. The resolution shutting out the
federal brigade Is to be amended with
rider freezing out also such state Off
csals as may have aspirations in the d.
rection of either Sacramento or Chicago.
OF the 80 delegates to be elected in
this county to the state convention one
will go at large and the rest will be
chosen by supervisoral districts.

That the Democratic state convention
will denounce the A. P. A. In unmeas-
ured terms there is no doubt Hon. Nor
ris NJ Estee, the late Republican can
didate for governor, Is out In strong
card, published in the San Francisco
Bulletin. opposing the organization and
it's political methods. Gavin McNab of
San Francisco and w. w. Foote of Ala
media each have plank upon the sub
ject for insertion in the state platform.
The resolution Of the former is as fol-
lows:
The Democratic party, true to the
principles of Americanism established
by the founders of the republic and obed-
lent to the words and spirit of the Amer
lean constitution. declares its opposi-
ton to the introduction of any religious
test into our political system, and an
nounces it's opposition to what is known
as the American Protective association,
and to all other religious political organ
izations.
Harry Patton is just home from San
Francisco. He met State Senator j. M.
Gleaves of Shasta while in the north,
who unbosomed himself to the editor
of the Capital in this fashion:
"I came away from the Sacramento
convention a pronounced state divis-
ionist and am going to devote myself
to cultivating the division sentiment up
north. The state Is too large, ana the
difference between the climate, soil, pro-
ducts and people of the north and south
is too great for this to much longer re-
main one state. Division would be of
immense benefit to both sections. 1t
would give us two additional United
States senators from this coast and that
in itself is big thing. I expect division
to be consummated without much or
fight; in fact, the north and the south
will agree to separate amicably. AT the
next session of the legislature l Will IN
troduce, and endeavor to have passed,
a concurrent resolution on the SUBJECT
or take such other action as IS Wlthln
the province of the Legislature.
Gleaves is a hold-over senator. the
A. P. A. had him up as one of the dele
gates to the national Republican con-
yention. but was compelled to pull MIN
down in favor of U. S. Grant, because
of the oratorical effort of General w. H.
Barnes in young Grants behalf.
John P. Irish in a published interview
says: iii
doubtedly declare for the existing mon
ey standard. 1t will not demand free
coinage at ratio of 16 to / or any other
ratio, and it ought to demand that the
federal treasury be limited to it's consti-
tutional functions Of collecting
taxes provided for by con-
gress and disbursing the same
upon appropriations made by congress.
At present the treasury by law receives
silver and paper for taxes and is by law
compelled to redeem greenbacks in gold.
which it has to buy with bonds The
greenbacks so redeemed are by law i'm
mediately reissued and when again pre-
sented have to be again redeemed; put
ting the endless task on the treasury
continually imperils the public credit.
The Democratic convention should de-
mand the cancellation of the greenbacks
and put a stop to dangerous system
for which the Republican legislation is
responsible. The party should at every
point sustain the administration. Any
other course is suicidal. No army ever
won battle by shooting its own gen.
erals. Any Democrat who wants to ex-
change Cleveland's leadership for TIL
man is unfit for membership in the
party.
Il am not infavor of any straddle or
compromise. The silver men, as rule,
have been misled into the belief that free
coinage of silver at 16 to l is an ancient
Democratic doctrine. When they by
study discover that this is false, that
every leader of the party from Jefferson
to Cleveland has opposed the principles
of such legislation they will stay with
their party and principles and there will
