VENTURA
Citizens Still Anxious Regarding the Noml.
nee for ConYreaa

| VENTURA, Aug. 13.-There has been
considerable discussion, and the lines
| have ben more clearly defined between
the two factions. Here the Rose adher-
| entS are men who recognize his ability,
| sterling worth and his soundness on the
| political issues and. the Reilly funding
bill, and who feel that he is peculiarly
| entitled to warm support from this
county because of his valuable service
in the development of the town. Among
these are some of the soundest anti
monopoly Democrats of the county, who
will not concede that Mr.. Rose can be
swerved by any considerations from
what he believes to be the best interests
of the people of his district.
The friends of Mr.. Patton very gener-
ally concede all that is claimed for Mr..
Rose, but insist that his deserved popu-
larity is being made use of to subserve
the selfish purposes of the railroad con-
tingent.
Either candidate receiving the NOM
ination will receive the support of all
Democrats. The Populists were inter-
ested spectators at the deadlock conven-
ton, and evidently were in strong SYM
pathy with Mr.. Patton. They are radical
people, however. and doubtless will be
quite we'll satisfied if the convention at
San Luis Obispo nominateS a genuine
Populist. which it seems from this
standpoint they will do.
Among the candidates spoken of for
legislative nominations are J. B. Alvord,
Populist, and man supposed to be
acceptable to Democrats, and who, if
nominated, would be endorsed by the
Democratic convention.
w. E. Shepherd, who ran for the senate
on the Democratic ticket four years ago,
is spoken of as a probable candidate
cay OF 10 ar ha TA,~
list combination. He is not, 1 am in
formed, disposed to make any contest
for the honor against Santa Barbara's S

The Republican county convention
takes place on the 18th, and from present
indications the present assemblyman.
Hon. Peter Bennett, will probably re-
ceive the nomination, the opposition to
