no converts is too great to be risked. 1t
would be discouraging If while Nc
Kinley spouter was struggling to con-
vince his audience that gold standard
and Mckinley tariff would deluge the
country with prosperity he should sud-
denly discover that three-fourths of
his audience had left him and gone to
other portions of the fair grounds to
organize free silver meeting and hear
some impromptu speaker advocate the
election of Bryan. And that is just what
would be liable to happen should a
state or county fair be invaded by a
stump speaker loaded with alleged ar
guments in behalf of the Hanna ticket
and platform.
While the anti-fair order of the Great
Boss is reflection upon the intelligence
of the wealth producing Glasses it is
probably judicious interposition,
viewed from cold business standpoint
which is the only point from which the
Immaculate boss looks at anything in
the nature of political management.

SENATOR PAYNE MADE NO SPEECH

Senator Payne of Ohio, whose death was
announced last week. was one of the
members of the senate always pointed out
to tourists by the guides as among the

Payne rarely spoke. In fact, it is not re-
called ust now that he ever made speech

which he controlled, explaining that, as.

The total population Of our earth in
the time of Augustus Caesar, If we &C.

Bourke Cochran, who is now swing

Republican orations under the direction
Of Wall street at $1,000 a night, is a mas
ter Of the art of oratory, says the Chica-
go Dispatch. He possesses strong
personality, and is gifted with the rare
ability to sway men by the information
Of his voice. Coming to America fresh
from college, he became an instructor,
meanwhile cultivating oratory with a
view to expounding dogmatic theology
from the pulpit. Abandoning the idea
Of taking orders, he studied law and
entered politics, where he soon became
known no less as a strategist than as
a debater upon the hustings. Consis-
tency has never been one of the Jewels
with which he ornamented his political
code Of ethics. He labored cheek-by-
jowl for years with Richard Croker, and
as far as 1t is possible for one man to
make another in politics, Croker made
him. He was Tammany sachen when
Tammany was larded with corruption,
and when the blue-coated protectors"
of the people were merely collectors of
blackmail. Not until q comparatively
obscure Presbyterian preacher, Charles
H. Parkhurst, had routed the army Of
political thieves and endorsed Croker.

POLITICAL VS.. CAR EQJIP.
MENT

Several new cars have come to the
consolidated company lately. The trav-
cling public will rejoice at this improved
equipment, even though so small.
The ocean billow is nowhere, when it
comes to sea effects, with the rocking
cars of this company on the reaches Of
Second and Pico streets. The company
has long been so richly equipped
in its politics that it's cars have
been lost sight of in that
glory. The brilliant and active Mr..
Fred Wood was chairman of the Re
publican campaign committee at the
last election, and knows politics from A
to z. AS for Gen. Sherman, any one de-
string to know his abilities in this line
has only to make inquiry at the city hall.
Some of these electric people have sug-
gested bringing in a body Of Africans
into Los Angeles. Really, it seems rs
though they had already brought in po-
litical Africans enough. This claim that
politicians are to aid in blockade of the
streets of Los Angeles against any other
company from any quarter and that this
business is to go to the extent of such
repeated insults and outrages as the
Traction company has been subjected
to, is against the public interest. We
want more railroads The city needs
connection with new quarters and with
it's suburbs. We need the work for our
people. Such well-equipped and we'll
managed company as the Traction, with
it's handsome cars, rapid service and
splendid roadway ought not to be
flouted and insulted by the city hall pol
iticians simply because 1t has no
CREASED slide" ---.,...,,-
If brilliant array Of political talent,
with sideshow of bob-tail rockaway
cars, is to monopolize forever our city
entrances, so that no new company can
get in, our city will be injured In Its
growth and the prosperity Of the COM
munity be diminished.
