DEMOCRATIC PERFORMERS"
II is Their Purpose to NOmInste an
Independent State Ticket in New
York.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1.-THE Sun says
this morning:
Not only is it the purpose Of the DEM
ocratic party reform organization at its
state convention to be held in Brook
Ign on next Thursday, to nominate an
independent state ticket, but the state
committee OF the organization will
recommend the nomination of Sound
money Democratic candidates for con-
gress and assembly in every district
where the party has an organization.
This statement is made on the author
ity of kalf a dozen of leaders in the
movement, who have generally been
looked on as formulating the policies
and plans of the party. The state COM
mittee will meet in the assembly rooms
of the reform club on Sunday night, TO
discuss these matters. Some idea. of
how the Sound money" Democrats
feel regarding this subject, may be
obtained from the following statement
made by former Congressman John
Dewitt Warner last night:
I'VE will certainly nominate candt-
dates Of our own for governor he suid.
"A man who would accept nomination.
for governor from the Buffalo
convention, merely to gain q
little cheap notoriety for him
self, would be a sorry spectacle.
His end Of the ticket would be less re-
spectacle than Bryan's, for I believe
that is at least sincere. If we could not
support Bryan we certainly couid not
support such a man. There might be
some reason for union of all Demo-
Gratis, if there were a stare issue which
overshadowed the currency issue. That
is not the case and the Democratic re-
form organization will not stultiFy it.
self by supporting a professed gold man
on free silver platform. OF course
the same objection holds good in the
case Of men who are willing to run for
congress or the assembly On a free sill

We have lost few Democrats by de-

Great stress was laid on the allegation that

no record was made of my imprisonment

table huge cluster of purple violets and
white hyacinth formed nucelus fol- the

SONS, partially by maiden hair ferns,
were scattered with careless grace over
the table. The place cards were prettily
decorated in water colors, and on one side
the guests each wrote an original poem of
the violet. Clusters of violets and sterling
silver violet pins we're the favors carried
away as souvenirs of the delightful oc-
casion. AS either end of the table were
silver candelabra tied with violet
ribbon and holding green candles,
completing the symposium of beauty was
ball of violets pendant from the smilax

riackmen Strongly Defended


EDITOR bERALp Much has been said
the hackmen of Los Angeles, who are law
abiding and to great extent prominent
citizens and taxpayers, add are entitled to
the same protection from the city fathers
as others.
The hackmen are slandered by some
sorehead generally who never rode in a
hack in his life, " no eats at tamale stands,
lives outside of The city limits in order TO
keep his wife at home, and walks in in or
der to save cents TO buy stale beer with.
be thinks himself superior to others and
imagines that he has the right of way to
SANDER others.
Hackmen have their troubles, but they
don't always tell them to policemen, for in
many instances it would do no good, for
the "Jayheau," as our friend calls us, is en-
titled to no protection. The woods are full
of deadbeats and they are not all hack
men, either. They will treat man right
who shows any inclination to do the same
towards them. There is an ordinance
regulating carriage hire which makes it
possible for those who ride to be protected.
Rates today among the drivers are much
lower than the city ordinance fixes them
at; but some people do not know how TO
appreciate a good thing. If driver should
charge those people what the ordinance
entities him to charge. then an awful howl
would go up.
Our latest trouble is the threatened at
tempt to deprive us of our right for which
we pay license, One man who wants the
whole of Spring and Main streets. as well
as Broadway from Temple street TO
Seventh, to stand his grocery wagons with
the back wheels to the curb and the horses
noses brushing bonnets off ladies as they
sit in passing street cars, has put in au APP
plicaton for that privilege The only way
to grant him his desire is to move the
hacks. Public conveyances are necessity
to the people and when on the street are a
great convenience. If this same individual
who is making all this kick had only few
minutes to catch train, go Tor doctor,
or go to fire and all his grocery wagons
were off delivering beans, he would curse
the moment that such thought had eu-
tered his Uranium to drive all the hacks to
the river bed.
IF hacks and hachmen are nuisance
and pest let's run them out of town, ex-
lie them or nail them to the cross. But for
the sake of justice and right don't license
a man 10 carry on legitimate business
and then pass an ordinance ting
him from exercising that right, for you
then prevent him from making living for

REACHING FOR AN "INCON
SISIENCY STRAW

Under the caption "Is Inconsistent"
article which purported to place The
HERALD in an attitude of inconsist-
ency. AS the reading public is aware,
THE HERALD has repeatedly denounced
the unlawful and outrageous custom
of the local police department of in
generating people against whom no
charges have been made and recorded
and keeping them confined for days
and even weeks without permit
ting communication with rela-
tives. friends or counsel. With a
degree of intelligence befitting
one of Professor Gamers advanced
chimpanzees Chief Glass, assisted by
the subservient daily with the buzzard
orpamentatiou, likens the case ad-
verted to by the publication noted, to
those which have been mentioned by
The HERALD as affording instances of
the outlawry of the police depart
ment. To the usual human being with
q Uranium yet unexpanded by official
station, there will appear no similar
ity whatsoever. The statement of the
facts as published in the Times is
strange as it may seem to most people
substantially correct, and in not the
slightest degree does it furnish excuse
for comment of the kind INDUCED in
by Glass and the Times.
Appended is communication from
the interested party, L. O. Knell. The
communication was unsolicited by
The HERALD and is the best refutation
of the assertion that in Mr.. KnelPs
case The HERALD in any way violated
the doctrine it has preached.
But in the other instance of Mr..
Knell's Incarceration referred to by
the Times in concluding its story, the
customary methods of the local Rus
sian detective bureau we're utilized.
In that case Mr. Knell asserts that he
was jailed three days without charge
being recorded against him, until the
detective force could dig up the out
lines of a supposed embezzlement,
while, in the meantime, his presence in
the prison was repeatedly denied to
his attorneys and relatives. After
three days of illegal detention charge
was entered and a hearing was granted,
which resulted in the dismissal Of the

Pleasant Reception at Unity

Pleasant Reception at Uutty
Unity church was the scene of beauti-
full reception yesterday evening, rendered
by the Unitarian congregation to the Rev.
George Bachelor Of Boston, secretary of
the American Unitarian association. Pro-
fuse decorations were beautifully arranged
about the pulpit and in clear space near
the central aisle. Gala lilies in artistic
vases ornamented the different corners of
the reception room, while about the tables
were displayed delicate bouquets of
carnations and ferns. The pastor,
Rev. j. S. Thomson, presented the
guest of the evening in brief compli-
mentary speech, to which the Rev. Mr..
Bachelor responded eloquently. He
spoke of his mission to this coast and the
joyous greeting which he received at the
hands of the hospitabio people of this most
hospitable land.
AT the conclusion of this formal presen.
tation Mr.. Bachelor was introduced sew
orally to most of those present.
During the remaining portion of the
evening an excellent orchestra rendered
number of selections, while the as
sembled guests exchanged greet
ings or partook of the refreshments
which were served from number of daint-
lily spread tables, which were presided
over by the Misses Boyce, Belle Smith,
Longley, Griffin and Dell Mathews. The
pleasure of the occasion was greatly on
HANGED by the gracious attention of the
reception committee composed of the fol-
lowing ladies': Mines Prayer, Innes. Gar
retson. Kendall, Mctrea. Jevne. Stimson,
bulla, Ford. Pease, Newberry, Butler and
ShalIer. Mrs. Mathews and Mrs. Butler
had charge of the decorations, which were
effectively beautiful.
