PREPARING FOR THE COVERING

PREPARING FOR THE GOVERNOR.
Several of the labor organizations, the
building trades unions in particular, led
by the painters and decorators unions
are making preparations to give warm
demonstration to Governor Budd when
he speaks here to morrow night.
1t is probable that at the wigwam
meeting tie enthusiasm will find vent
in parade en- masse of the people in
the street as soon as the governors
speech is finished, and that if time can
be had prior to the governors depart
ure for San Francisco soon after his
speech, the procession will march with
flags to his hotel and there cheer itself

IN this county who will deny the fact
that this year Mr.. Bryan will receive
every Populist vote cast in the county.
IT the Populist pro rata of the vote is the
same this year that it was two years
ago, the Populists will poll 5000 votes If
the ratio of Democratic votes is un-
changed they would poll 12,0O0 This
would or Itself make Il total of $4,000
votes for the fusion electoral ticket.
But this year there is a break. Out of
a total of 1900 Democratic votes lib
eral allowance for gold standard advo-
Gates who will not vote the fusion elect
oral ticket is 1000 votes So take that off
and 1t leaves 11,000 Democratic votes
and 5000 Populists for the fusion elect
oral ticket, total of II 900 all told
THE REPUBLICAN SLUMP
Now the Republicans have $4,000
members, all Republicans, who are go
ing to vote for Bryan, and who have
placed themselves on written record to
that effect.
Take these 5000 votes away from the
$4,000 and you have $1,000. Add the 1000
goldbug Democrats, give them all to
Mckinley and none to the decoy candi-
dates, Palmer and Buckner, and YOU
have $4,000, the total vote for Mckinley
in this county.
Then take the 1900 Democratic and
Populist votes and add 5000 silver Re-
publicans and you have the vote that
Bryan will receive in this county-22,-
000
There is no power on earth that can
give the Mckinley electors majority
in Los Angeles county. The Bryan cleo
tors will have the most sweeping vic
tory ever recorded. Not in years, and
never before in the history of this sec
ton, has any public journal been called
upon to record such complete and
thorough overthrow of a once dominant
party as The Herald will be called on to
record next Wednesday morning
There will be $4,000 votes cast in the
city and II 900 in the county.
The landslide will be so great that it
will carry with it the entire fusion
county ticket from top to bottom.
MLACHLAN DUMPED.
McLachlan will be defeated in the
county by something like 5000 majority
He will get a harpoon even deeper than
some of his associates on the ticket.
The only man whom the Republicans
have a chance to elect on their legisla-
tive ticket is the nominee in the Sew
entieth assembly district.
The Republicans took a poll of this
county ten days ago and with it's mac
curiacies, numerous and multiferous.
that poll showed over 1900 majority for
the Bryan electoral ticket
Now they publicly claim they have
an amended poll showing 400 majority
for Mckinley. Their poll is not worth
the paper upon which it is written.

High School Athletes.

Merle r. Griffith of the Portland High
school, treasurer Of the athletic associa-
ton. was in Saoo Saturday In consulta-
ton with the representatives of Thornton
academy, Clarence Goldthwaite and Mar.
tin Foss, in reference to proposed ath-
letic meet at Rigby, May 30th. Mr..
Griffith was empowered to make the
arrangements for the meet to certain
extent If they could agree Oh terms,
and there is little doubt that they can
be amicably agreed upon.
The Saco boys proposed that Portland
be allowed $50 for the expenses of their
team and for bringing the officials here
and for advertising, in fact to attend to
everything and pay the expenses from
this money. The academy would take
$50 aid pay their own expenses from
that cum. Then they would take one
third of the net receipts and give, Port.
land the other two-thirds. ..Portland's
proposition was to let Saoo have one
third after the bills were paid and let her
pay her own expenses out Of that The
Saco men couldn't see it that way and
would not agree and while the discussion
WAS all pleasant and fair, the mat ter
was left unadjusted and was agreed up
on but that, and the Portland man is to
lay the matter before his people and lot
Saco men know Monday what they will
do about it.
The events will be the same as those on
