The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1896-05-24

the sentiments what Is In these vegeta-
bles.' Say, there was presence of mind
wasn't it? Don't you think John Dough
ought to give McQuain that three hun
month the Espee promised him, but
he didn't get when Parsons was thrown
down for railroad commissioner?
II see Gavin McNab is a-running the
Hunters, as they call them guys what
Sammy Braunhart and Max Pepper and
John Foley is members of. I've seen
men get out of corners pretty slick, but
I'm a-thinking that Gavin is about as
smooth as they make them. What's he
been ADDING? Well, 1 don't mind a-tell-
ing you. The other night Cav was in
a saloon where the gang was about half
and half and none of the geesers dead
sure what was the Scotchman's lay.
They was all anxious to know and they
kept on a-pestering Gavin but he kiss
ed them off. They wanted him to take
drink. and when he said he would they
was all a-liStening, a-tinking he would
take something that would give point
err on his feelings. Gle me a leettle Orish
whisky and some orange bitters.' he said
to the barkeeper. Say, duck that can
do that is good to make up any kind of a
platform That's what 7 call being a
| chile colorado diplomat. He's hot stuff,
| McNab Is.
What do I think of that committee
Arthur has appointed? Can't you size it
up as anti-monopoly gang? No, you
i can't? Well, who said you could? When
| did Frank Flint become Republican?
Why, he was always a Republican.
When he was a-holding Democratic jobs
down in Los Angeles he was only a-fool-
ing people. If you don't believe me ask
John Muir. John runs him. OF course
| Osborne don't like the Espee. Didn't
we put a job up on him and have the
Santa Monica petition Matched out of
his office without his a-knowing 1t so
as to get him into trouble. Then there's
Parker. Mayor RAIDERS clerk. You don't
think for a minute that Parker knew
what he was adding when he SNUG
gled that Santa Monica business through
the city council?
Whose Wright of Pasadena? He don't
cut much fee. Arthur says he's good
kind of mark to get up at night and go
a-chasing around of errands in the rain
Then there's Frank Miller Of Riverside.
He's innocent sort of chump who runs
hotel and wouldn't know the differ
ence between county division bill and
a street railroad franchise when he saw
them. Cert, he's anti-monopoly I'D to
his neck. And Jim Rea of San Jose He
couldn't be an Espee man if he tried Jim
Kelly wouldn't let him.
You know as well as do that Editor
Lennon wouldn't put our ad in his
Santa Rosa paper for love or money. He
hates the ground our rails is laid on and
tries to wear out the tracks a-riding I'D
and down all the time on free passes.
That man Is spiteful against U.S.
"How did Leon Sloss get on? Well,
Arthur didn't want Lilienthal, but as he
had to make a showing, he showed in
Leon. But I don't think after Sloss
gets OH to himself that he will stay,
Wendell Easton could have got place,
but he said he did not want it unless he
knew who the other twenty was to be,
so Arthur dropped him. Cornwell was
dumped because he had been a-shooting
off his mouth about John Dough buy
ing up people at the state convention.
That kind of talk. even il 1t Is true. has
got to be rebuked.
"Con OConnor was appointed so as to
offset Nicholson. 1t took great deal of
thinking to get team like that in iar-
ness. Paris Kilburn gets on the commit
tee as a resident of Monterey county be-
cause he never lives there.
Yes, General de Young Is thrown in
the soup. He amt got a man on the COM
mittee. unles it's Ruet, and Abe, was
only selected because it was told the
Pasadenian that Doc was too clever.
81 see Chris has been a-nosing down
around Los Angeles. just got a tele-
gram from San Diego that he and John
Dough Is a-going to be there tonight
Say, that's a great team. Between me
