A BUSINESS MAN TALKS
Why the Water Company Is Endeavor-
ing to Obscure the Issue

1.-THE water company people realize
full well that this is a most vital cam
paign for them" said el well known
business man yesterday to Herald re-
porter. "By everything possible they are
endeavoring to obscure the issue. But
the proposition remains clear and dis
tinct so far as we are concerned"
You claim to speak for the business
element, do your"
Yes, 1 do"
well, what is this proposition you
think an endeavor is being made to OBJ
scure?"
BY supposed clever tactics the rail-
road company and the water company
think that they can force this man Mar
tin on to us for mayor. They think that
we have been blind for the past two
years and that we are not fully aware
of the fight this man Snyder Has beg
making for us. He has earned the enmi-
ty and ill-feeling of both these corpora
tions. and we propose to see to it that
he does not suffer for it. Then, too, Mr..
Snyder is himself respectable and an
honorable business man, and that is the
kind of an administration we want in
the city government. We feel and think
that he can give us what we are seeking
and that is another reason why we are
for Snyder for mayor"

Of the superior court before Judge York
at 10 o'clock this forenoon. Attorney Will
liam T. Craig, who prosecuted the con-

years ago, will represent Mr.. Bartholo-

This contest will involve a recount of
the $4,000 votes cast in this city for city
justices if the petition is allowed by
Judge York. The allegations of the pc
tition are general, and state that ballots
We're counted for Judge Owens that
should have counted for Mr.. Bar

cast illegally were counted, and ballots
cast legally were thrown out, and that
the law was not complied with in the
respect of tearing off the numbers on
the ballots.
But greater thirgs than the determin-
ing of the vote for city justices may
come of this contest. 1t may lead toward
a recount of the entire county. Governor
Budd has expressed his dissatisfaction
with the returns from this and several
other counties and the outcome of the

Report of the Grand Jury as to City Hall
Matters.

There were various rumors current
at the city hall yesterday as to further
developments which it was expected
and looked for would follow a grand
jury investigation of the affairs of va
rious municipal departments.
From the experts it is absolutely i'm
possible to obtain any information, as
to the condition in which they find mat
ters.
1t is known. though, that the health
department and several individual Of
fcers will receive some very warm
lines in the report OF the grand jury
when it is submitted.
1t is said the report will be held back
longer than usual, for the resoon that
if it was disclosed now it would result
In a serious loss to the supporters of the
Republican city ticket. 1t is quite es-
sential that this be prevented. But
meanwhile those officials in the hail
whose records are being looked over
are making a vigilant campaign for the

AT THE lHEATERS

ORPHEUM.-Therea are two acts alone
at the Orpheum this week that in them
selves constitute noteworthy and re-
markable performance-theQ Quaker City
Quartet and the wonderful dog orches-
ira. Pressing close to these sterling at
fractions is the unique entertainment
afforded by Howard and Bland, while
the other features Of the bill, including
also the delightful manner In which
Romandy's musicians presented Zich-
ner's Vienna Beauties Waltz, make up
one of the best bills we have had at this
house for many weeks.
The fact that a good bill was offered
and the further fact that the Orpheum
is the only house of amusement open
here packed the building last night until
it was almost question of taking out
the orchestra to make room for the hun
dreds unable to secure seats 1t was
one of the largest audiences of the sea-
son, and it was likewise one OF the most
enthusiastic gatherings that have as
sembled within these walls.
Nelson Glinseretti and Demonio open
ed the bill with their acrobatic gro
tesques, andlwere warmly received. Nhe
banjo playing of Mays and Hunter was
notably good. and their playing of such
an intricate classical number as the
Second Rhapsody of Liszt on two ban
Jos was rather in the nature of mu-
steal phenomenon. The Detroit Bro
theirs, with their graceful feats of aero
batic agility, were heartily applauded.
The singing of the Quaker City Quartet
is the best of the kind we have had for
years, and Ned Hanson's witicisms are
new and side-splitting. The act of How
ard and Bland introduced some clever
singing. and some comical eccentrici-
ties in the way of banjo playing. The
closing act, in which Lavater's dogs
play on the trombone. tenor drum, cello.
violin and cymbais. is certainly mar
yelous illustration of what man can do
in training canine creation. Their Or
chestral work is one of the hits of the
season The Orpheum is booked for
phenomenal weeks business.

why does he go almost daily to Stephen

But a wet blanket is thrown over all
Mr.. Cline's fond hopes and the Ministe-
doomed to sad disappointment in the
matter Of John M. Glass. for be it known
that the position of Mr.. Fred Eaton as
executive head Of the Republican city
machine has sealed the pledge given by
Mr. Martin to retain Chief Glass. Mr..
Eaton would not accept the chairman
ship unless Mr.. Martin gave this pledge
and the fact that Mr.. Eaton did accept
is conclusive evidence that the pledge to
keep Glass in office has been given.
To Rev. John A. B. Wilson, pastor of
the First Methodist Episcopal church,
To Mr. Fred Eaton, chairman Of the
Republican city committee, Mr.. Martin
says Glass shall stay.
To Robert Kern, Mr.. Martin, using Mr..
Glass as a mouth piece, poses as q lib
eral politician-as a would-be friend
of the saloon element. Yet in November,
1893, he published a Prohibitionist pa
per, the Western Wave, and roasted that
element.
To the business men of the community
Mr.. Martin poses as an anti-monopo-
list, yet he has been connected with the
Southern Pacific for about twenty years.
He was time keeper and in the mainte-
nance department Of the Southern Pa
cif1c for twelve years. His brother, Jesse
Martin. as "scab," took out the first
engine for the Southern Pacific at the
time of the A. R. U. strike and today
two of Mr.. Martins nephews are in that
company's employ.
He and his party promise the citi-
zens and taxpayers of this community
FREE water, yet one Of his chief lieu
tenants. John Cline, is in daily commu-
nication with Stephen H. Mott secreta-
ry of the Los Angeles City Water COM
pany.
He and his party are trying to win
over organized labor to their support,
yet the Times, their organ, never misses
an opportunity to say something ugly
and offensive against labor unions, and
many of the candidates, including Mr..
Martin himself, have actually snubbed
the unions when corresponded with or
requested to favor them with personal
visit.
Mr. Martin has the misfortune to be
supported by Colonel" Otis, and Col
onel" Otis has kicked over everything
by roasting Hervey Lindey. Mr.. Lind
ley Is smarting under the last assault
and proposes to get even by eternally
running Colonel Otis politically on

Such is a summary of the inconsistent
cies of Mr.. Martins position
such is his quandhry such the
web of entanglements in which he is
struggling-and all this because of a
combination in his character of vault
ing ambition and consummate truck
ling. and his disagreeable situation of
having record that looks like mo-
sale of inconsistencies and of being
ohampioned by coterie of fool friends!

POLITICAL NOTES.

In the Third ward the Republicans
are making a very hard fight against N.
p. Wynne, the union nominee for coun-
Gilman. Mr.. Wynne is making a cam
paign on liberal platform against fur
ther domination of the municipal gov
ernment by corrupt ring. Mr.. Wynne's
position on the water question assures
to him a large vote. and this is the reason
why such hard fight is being made for
his Republican antagonist.
In the outlying districts the people
seem to be fully aware as to what the
issue of the municipal campaign is.
They know that it is the water question
solely, and they are therefore loyal to M.
