Eagles are SO plentiful in the noun

III the last season fully 200 young pigs
have been carried from his ranch by
eagles.

SILVER RALLY AT GARDENA
Enthusiastic Speeches by Judge UtIsy an
Prof. Bowman -

FRIDAY night grand silver rally took
place at Gardena. The town hall was
crowded by an audience that did honor
to the speakers, Judge Utley and Prof
| w. C. Bowman, and the general expres-
sion after the meeting was that the
/ speakers had done honor to the audi
ence. Judge Utley was the first speaker.
and his theme was Silver. In a plain.
simple, straightforward and convincing
address he showed the necessity for
free coinage, the advantages to be de-
rived from 1t and the utter groundIess-
ness OF the fears that many people pro-
Tess to have of being unable to keen
their heads above the great flood of
silver. After showing clearly by sta
tlstlcs, facts and logic that free coinage
would be of great benefit to the working
and producing classes of the country. he
! reviewed the arguments of the gold
standard advocates and showed that
thelr arguments were nothing more
than what they say of their money
SOUND, a very discordant sound at that.
The frequent applause which greeted
the telling points of the argument show
ed that the audience followed the sneak
er carefully and were convinced Of the
truth of what he said. There was one
very distinguishing feature between the
applause given Judge Utley and that
given Mr. Mckinlay, who addressed n
Republican meeting a week or so before.
1t was not in the frequency of it, nor
even in the apparent earnestness of ii.
1T was as difference in location--it did
not all come from the platform. When
the speaker had finished he said he
would be glad to answer any questions
that might be asked on the silver cues
ton, in so far as he was able A num-
Der OF questions were asked and the an
swers given to the acknowledged salts
faction of the questioners. If the Re-
publican campaigners will send some
Republican speakers who will accord To
the people of Gardena the same privi-
lege of asking questions they will very
much oblige the people and at the same
time show they have some right to call
theirs campaign of education"
After Judge Utley had finished and the
Compton orchestra had "discoursed
sweet music" Prof. w. c. Bowman. in
d short but stirring address, invited all
good people to be in at the death of the
grand old party and assist at a first
class funeral, for since the power of it's
old battle cry, "WhOop her up and vote
her straight" was no longer received
with open-mouthed wonder and admira-
ton by the simple people, the said G. o.
p. was dying with wind on the lungs.
After the meeting number of new
names were added to the list of the Bry-
an club that was organized few days
before with more than one hundred
members.

J. r. Houx for Judge

Among the very first members of the
Los Angeles county bar to consent to
become candidate for the nominal ton
to superior judgeship on the Demo-
cratic ticket was j. T. Houx, gentle
man of splendid legal attainments and
many admirable qualities as a citizen
and staunch Democrat. His candidacy
is the result of the earnest solicitation
of many leading members of the bar and
other prominent citizens His qualfi-
cations and general fitness for the office
are conceded on all hands. Mr.. Houx
Is, in the most emphatic sense, self
made man. He was born in Missouri
80 years ago, and is therefore in the
prime of manhood. He came, in 1854
with his parents, to Sonoma county, this
state, where he was brought up on a
farm. BY his own exertions he edu-
Gated himeslf at the Pacific Methodist
college at Santa Rosa, and at ths Has
tings College of Law, a department of
the State University of California. He
has resided in this city and procticed
his profession since 1888 Mr.. Houxs
standing at the bar is excellent, and he
has the confidence of large circle of
friends. He stands a good chance of
nomination at he hands of his party in
tomorroW's county convention.

LIAR AND BLACKBOARD
e. A. Meserve Says Otis Is All This as Well %
an Arrant Coward

Es ~ MeBefVe SAYS Otl8 IS All Inl0 08 Weu -
an Arrant Coward
Edwin A. Meserve was unjustly as
sailed in the Times yesterday morning.
He was charged with being the only
Republican in the county convention
who voted against the antifunding res
olution in reference to the Pacific rail-
roads debt. This was a falsehood, ut
tered for the purpose of injuring Mr.. Me-
serve, a young man who has many
friends in this community.
At the time the vote was taken on
this resolution The Herald representa-
tive was the only newspaper reporter
in the hall. There was but one vote
against the resolution, an that came
from Hugh j. Crawford. Mr.. MNerve
voted for the resolution.
Mr.. Meserve, in the Express last even
ing, refutes the imputation cast upon
his character, and explains how and why
Otis opposed him. He says:
II was thrown down by the Otis Web
ber combination, who demanded that
program the committee on resolutions
in favor of instructions for Senator Per-
kins, and violate my agreement. The
result is well known.
You will thus see that the only pro-
granting that was demanded of me was
demanded by the pretended but not the
real friends of Senator Perkins, who saw.
in supporting him, a chance to establish
a bossism in the Republican party, and
chance to beat Hervey Lihdley, whose
shoes Colonel Otis is not worthy to clean.
LAS for Colonel Otis himself, desire
to state Qf your paper will permit me
to do so,) on my own responsibility, that
he is a liar, blackguard and coward,
and that he publishes things and state
ments in his paper derogatory to peo-
pies character and reputation, which he
knows are absolutely false and without
foundation. The result will be that pa
tience will cease to be virtue and
somebody will give Colonel Otis the lick
ing which he SO much deserves.
1.-THE true character of Colonel Otis
could not be better shown than by the
alliance which he made with Charlie
Webber. whom he has abused and Wilt
fled as he has no other man on the face
of the earth. And his earnest desire (?)
for purity in politics" could not be bet
ter rexemplified than by this combination,
as well as the combination which he
made with the lowest element that votes
in the Third ward in this city, to beat our
respectable men.
again I repeat that Colonel Otis is
not only liar and blackguard, but an
arrant coward"

particular and far-reaching duty to per-
form in the selection of four gentlemen
