Henry George Finds Democratic Prospect,
Very Bright In Mari. IIanna's Home
Labor VIII Vote soIidly Against Gold
and Plutocracy.
With such diligent inquiries as
could make l have not vet been able tc
find any evidence of the movement away
from Bryan of which the high an.
pointee of President Cleveland whom |
met on my arrival here told me he had
observed IN journeying through the
state. 1t is certainly not among the
worklngmen of Cleveland, organized or
unorganized. According to the best in
formation l can get, the proportion of
worklngmen who propose to vote for
Bryan is even greater here than in Chi
cago and is generally expressed by such
phrases as MCKINLEY is not in it, -
while polls privately taken by delegates
among their fellows in the plasterers'
national convention that met last week
and III that of the carpenters now in
session show that nine tenths of the
representatives from all parts of the
Union are for Bryan.
That the Palmer Democrats of Ohio
have not yet become very mighty folk,
i'll numbers at least is shown by the
fact that in order to get the 6,OO0 sig
natures required to put their electors on
the official ticket they are obtaining the
aid OF Republicans, and that Republic
ans themselves, though they now talk
very confidently of the campaign in
Ohio, have not yet discovered any rap
idly growing repugnance to silver, is
best evidenced by such speeches as that
OF Cliff Beech, the Republican candi-
date for congress i'll the Twentieth dis
trlct, who devotes himself almost en-
tlrely to the outright advocacy of free
silver.
Ex-Judge L. J. Blandin of Cleveland.
lawyer of high standing and large
practice, was nominated by the Demo-
Gratis for judge of the supreme court.
The office he did not want as to take it
would much reduce his income, vet as
stanch Democrat and an earnest free
silver man he was willing to accept
the nomination if, as he first Thought
might be the case, it would involve no
danger of election; but, becoming CON
Vlnced that if he remained on the ticket
he would be elected, he last month de.
clined and another nomination has been
made i'll his place.
L asked Judge Blandin, whom have
known for years to have tlH character
and reputation of an extremely careful
and conservative man. whether he was
still of opinion that it was necessary for
him to decline the nomination in order
to avoid the office or whether there was
in any part Of the state a counter move
ment beginning
His reply was that he could see the
matter i'll no other light than that
which induced him to decline; that there
might have been some little saooing
when the news of the Maine election
was received, but that. if had been tho
case, it had been only temnorarv and

crowd and held their attention until the
noon recess.
After dinner Candidates Mellick and
Sprague for the legislature, Hazard and
Allen for the superior bench, and e. E..
Johnson for supervisor of this district,
made brief speeches which were well re-
ceived. A patriotic letter from James
Hanley was also read.
The debate was then renewed by Con-
gresham McLachlan, the high and lofty
tumbler on the silver and other ques-
tiOns. James was not in very good form.
He has lost the nerve that used to be
his sustaining grace and as this was his
first and only appearance before an au-
dience distinctively silver in its senti-
ment, he was apparently Ill at ease and
suspicious of breakers ahead.
But he was courteously treated and
when he spoke of the ''nauseous silver
dose" the Democratic party were trying
to ram down the throats of the American
people the crowd went wild with enthu-
siasm, cheering and waving their hats
for several moments.
James did not talk long after this out
break, but hurried through his speech
and took the first freight train out of
town. Of the forty odd votes of this pre-
cinct 1t is said that exactly three will
go for "Flopper Jim" on election day.

on this occasion, some thirty odd badges
being counted in the audience.

SOLID FOR SILVER.
The People of Antelope Valley Hold a
Grand Demonstration.

The Antelope Valley association held
its semi-annual meeting at Lancaster
Friday and Saturday. About five hun
dred people were in attendance.
Friday was devoted to the routine
and special business of the society, while
Saturday was given up entirely to a
joint Republican and silver discussion
of the political issues of the day.
! Friday evening the Rev. Burt Estes
Howard of Los Angeles delivered a
masterful address on the Impending
Crisis, sounding the keynote of alarm
in the concentration of wealth on one
side as against poverty on the other
the classes versus the masses.
The reverend gentleman pointed out
| moral in the conclusion of his lecture
when he said that the lessons of history
proved that in every conflict of this char
acter the people always triumphed in
the end.
Saturday morning the Antelope VAL

brass band, formed in line in front of the
Lancaster hotel and escorted the speak

banner Of the club was borne by an old

THE WHEEL,

Assume, If you please, that the grips
are properly placed ct the ends of the
handle bar from twelve to eighteen inch
es apart, and that the proper place for
the riders hands is on the grips. The
fact remains that the average rider sell
dom touches his grips in riding, but
grasps the naked handle bar on either
side of and close to the top of the steer
ing head. Are we to infer from this that
the standard of handle bar construc-
ton is all wrong and that the grips
should be at the top of the bar and not
more than eight inches apart--or that
the bar should be left long to meet the
exigencies of rough riding, while the
material of which the grips are made
should cover the entire bar up to within
an inch or two of the center--or that it
would be we'll to have pair of supple
mentary grips at the place indicated by
the position assumed by the rider-or
what? Undoubtedly the present stand
ard handle bar is correct. The average
rider, for one thing, has his grips drop
ped so low that he cannot reach them
conveniently, so that his easiest position
is with his hands on the top Of the bar;
and, again, many riders with level or up
turned bars who are able to reach their
grips comfortably have acquired the
habit of grasping the nickel part in def
erence to the popular idea. We think
that every rider is obliged at times to
use his grips. Full handle bar leverage
is necessary whenever steering is rem
dered difficult by rough surface or other
wise. At such times every rider finds
that the standard bar comes in handy.
supplementary grips would detract
from the appearance of the handle bar
ana IL may be doubted whether cyclists,
as class. would tolerate them. A bar

STILL INSISTS.
The Los Angeles Hoodoo Still Flaunts
Silly Lie to the Breeze.

Frank A. Cattern is in no way dis
qualified to sit as member of the as
sembly from the Seventy first district.
Despite this fact, the Los Angeles Times
insists in circulating this silly falsehood
for the purpose of injuring Mr.. Cattern's S
standing with the voters of his district.
Mr.. Cattern writes The Herald as fol-
lows, specifically denying the allega-
tions of the Times:
Editor Herald: The Los Angeles
Times, in attempting to set up that l
am disqualified as a candidate for as
semblyman, states that | had made an
affidavit to the fact that my residence
was in Los Angeles city on October 80,
1895. 1t seems necessary to remind the
writer of that article that the question
of my residence on that date has nothing
to do with the case, as q residence of one
year only is required for an assembly
man in this state. With regard to his
assertion that l resided at 800 South
Hope street during the month of De-
cember, 1896, | will state that that place
was not then and never has been my
legal residence. 1t is true that l occu-
pied rooms at that place in all about
three weeks time for private reasons
which are unnecessary to state now. BY
far the greater portion of the time dur
ing which those rooms were engaged was
spent at my place of residence at South
Pasadena. l will only add what have
stated previously, that my legal resi-
dence for more than the year next pre-
ceding November 3, 1896, has been con-
tinuously at South Pasadena, a fact
which can be established by ample evil
dence. Very truly yours,

POLITICAL NOTES.

DR.. c. Edgar Smith, Republican can
didate for the council in the Seventh
ward, claims that there is no founda-
ton for the story that petition IL be-
ing circulated asking his removal from
the ticket by Republicans for any rea-
son whatever. If such a move is con-
templated he says that he knows moth
ing of it.
A large and enthusiastic audience as
sembled at Rowland hall, at Puente,
Saturday evening, to listen to Frank
A. Cattern, fusion candidate for assem-
blyman in the Seventy-first district, dis
cuss the issues of the campaign. Great
interest was displayed by the voters
present and the various points made By
the speaker in favor of the free coinage
of silver were received with marked ap-
proval by those present. A careful esti-
mate shows that Puente will cast an al
most. if not entirely, unanimous vote
for Bryan and the silver ticket

THE TRILBYS TRIUMPHANT
Yesterdays Base Ball at Athletic Park.
Santa Monica Game

Yesterdays games at Athletic park
attracted large crowd of enthusiastic
cranks. The Trilbys played two games
and won them both, Shaw pitching two
winning games in one day. This is
feat seldom attempted by any pitcher.
He is deserving of great praise for his
mastery work in the box yesterday.
The noticeable features Of the first game
were the infield work of Sandy and Per-
kins and the even hitting of the Trilby
team. Nettles and Held also played
their bases perfectly. Tyler pitched
good game, and with good support the
score would have been much closer. The
spectators gave Van Horn many hand
clap for a long running one-hand catch
he made. The tabulated score follows.

THE HORSE.

Some miscreant opened the stable
door at the Los Angeles track, on Sat-
urday night and turned out Challenger
Chief and Del Norte into field where
a number of mares were pasturing. The
former was attacked by the mares and
was severely kicked and that accounts
for the poor showing made by him in his
race in the 2:14 class on Monday.-Breed-

TRAP AND TRIGGER.
The best averages made at the tour
nament of the Los Angeles City Gun club

J. s. Tanning shot 76 live birds on the
first day of the tournament and lost
but five of them. killing 30 outright.
Leighton won the individual cham
pionship at blue rocks.
There Is very wide opinion, says the
Breeder and Sportsman, that the next
association tournament should be held
in the vicinity of San Francisco. Sew
enty-five per cent of Che shooters that
attend these tournaments are from the
bay counties. Why should these men
be called upon to pay their expenses to
some town 100 miles from this city to
accommodate a few shooters? Those
who come from the south and north
come to San Francisco for the same eX-
pense as they would go to Stockton or
San Jose. In our humble estimation,
the association should own it's own
traps, and at least one tournament a
year should be held in this city.
This is all very we'll, but how about
the 25 per cent of sportsmen from South
ern California. who have to travel 500

There was the usual Sunday afternoon

al Labor association at the wigwam,
but a new phase of the money question
was discussed, viz: That the expansion
of the volume of money in circulation
would make the price of labor higher
relatively than any other thing, and yet
practically reduce the cost OF living.

would change the relation entirely of

STANDING OF THE CLUES

The game at Santa Monica between the
Yoakums and the Seventh Regiment
boys was won by the latter club by
score of IA to Z. The pitching of Farrell
of the soldier boys was the feature of
the contest. Kaymer was an easy mark
for the soldiers, as one home run, four
three base hits, couple of doubles and
seven singles attest. In the ranks of the
Yoakums are such players as Lohman,
Knell, Early, Swan and Kaymer, and
the remainder are all players with rep
utation, consequently Farrell is deserving
Of great credit for his work.
