The herald., 1896-09-18

at the last general election III loS4, Wnen
there was Republican landslide in this
county.
Taking the vote cast in that year as a
criterion to go by, the figures conclus-
lively prove that this is the year when
the ring in this county that has been
running affairs for, 10. these many years
is going TO have blow dealt 1t from
wnlch 1t Will not recover right away.
ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS.
In 1894 the six assembly districts in
this county cast votes as indicated: For
James H. Budd, Democrat: Morris M.
Estee, Republican, and c. V. Webster,
Populist, for governor:
oeVentieth assembly distrct-Repub-
llcan. 2540; Democrat and Populist, 1919;
Republican majority, 721.
Seventy-first assembly district-Dem-
ocrat and Populist, 1910; Republican,
lo9s; fusion majority, PAL.
Seventy-second assembly district
Democrat and Populist. 1856; Republic
an, 1888; fusion majority. 457;
Seventy-third assembly district
Democrat and Populist. 1862; Republic
an, 1412; fusion majority, $50.
Seventy-fourth assembly district-Re-
publican. 2S0O; Democrat and Populist,
2l42; Republican majority, 1853.
Seventy-f1fth assembly district
Democrat and Populist, 1907; Republic
an, 1885; fusion majority, 81.
1t will be noted thu in four out of the
six assembly districts the union ticket
has a majority to begin with. This
means that Frank S. Cattern, w. r.
Steele, William Mead and S. A. Wald-
| ron are already as good as elected.
In the Seventieth district A. r.
Sprague. the nominee on the union
ticket, has a difficult fight on his hands.
He is, perhaps, one of the ablest men
In Los Angeles county, and gentleman
who would have great influence at Sac
| ramento But he is thrown into a district
which has an overwhelming Republican
majority, as 1t includes Pasadena and
| the Soldiers home. However, Mr..
| Sprague proposes to make a gallant
| fight, and If he comes out victorious, he
will be one of the coming men of the
| state.
In the Seventy-fourth district w. L.
| Price, the union nominee, has an adverse
majority of 1853 against him. This he
will be able to overcome, as there is a
strong silver vote in the district, and 1t
will in large measure go to Mr.. Price,
who will vote to send silver man to
the United States senate.
SUPERVISORAL DISTRICTS.
In the supervisoral districts taking
| the vote cast for governor in 1894 as a
| basis, the parties stand as follows:
| Second district-Republican, 2730;
Democrat and Populist, 2191; Repub-
| lican majority, $780,
Fourth district-Democrat and Popu-
list, 2349; Republican, 1886; fusion ma
| jority, 10.
Fifth district-Democrat and Popu-
list. 24S4; Republican, 1714; fusion ma
| jority TO.
These figures mean that three SUPER
visors on the union ticket will be elect
| ed.
James Hanley in the Fifth district will
simply have walk over. ne was
elected four years ago by safe vote,
and he is today 1000 votes stronger
| than he was then, for the reason that he
has given four years of faithful hon
est and efficient service, and through
out his entire district this fact is known.
In the Fourth district, Mr.. Morgan.
the fusion nominl, will defeat A. E.
Davis easily. Mr.. Morgan Is sub
stantal farmer and he is a man of lib
eral ideas. Some enemies are striving
to injure Mr.. Morgan by circulating the
story that he is a prohibitionist. 1t
would not be to his discredit If he were.
But as it happens he is not. He is a
believer in the sound old doctrine of
the personal liberty Of the citizen.
In the Second district George D. Pes
sell, the union candidate, has a hard
| fight on his hands, but he is just the
man to win it. and he will come off 4
victor. Mr.. Pessell has twice carried
the Sixth ward, overcoming an adverse
| majority of 400 in that ward alone. This
| being the case, it is by no means an
| impossible task to overcome the ma
| jority in the supervisoral district that
is now against him. His four years SER
| vice in the city council recommends him
| to the suffrage of every voter
THE SENATORIAL FIGHT
Tn hn al fob Dol NJ p,,J1
by no means has the easy fight his
friends think for. In 1894 the vote of
the Thirty-seventh senatorial district
! was divided this way: Republican, 41S6;
Democrat and Populist, 4051; Republic
an majority, 1876.
come this majority and be elected to the
senate is by no means impossible in
fact it is altogether probable. Against
Mr.. Bulla as a citizen and an honorable
man not one word can be said. But he
will go to the state senate pledged to
send gold standard advocate to the
United states senate, and this is what
will defeat him. 1t is unfortunate tha.
Mr.. Bulla is placed in the position that
he is, and his friends very much regret
it. But vote for Mr.. Bulla is vote
for the gold standard, and this is what
will cause his retirement, temporarily
at least.
THE CITY VOTE
Here in the city the vote in 1894 stood
at the gubernatorial election: Repub-
lican, 5o9S; Democrat and Populist,
5403; Republican majority, 1876.
By this it will be observed that Gill
bert S. Bartholomew and c. o. Morgan
will be the next city justices of Los An
geles, for they are both good men AMI
in the realignment of political parties
they will gain largely.
On the whole, a complete victory for
the union ticket in Los Angeles county
is probable and the election of greater
part of it is certain.
