POLITICAL NOTES.
Items Of Interest Appertaining to the
Campaign Here and Elsewhere.

The campaign of coercion goes merrily
on in Southern California. Five in
stances have been reported at Demo-
cratic headquarters in the past few days
OF men who claim that they owe their
discharge to the indiscretion of falling
to wear Mckinley badge
Charles A. Barlow has inaugurated a
campaign In this county that ought to
| ana undoubtedly will make him MANY
votes. Mr.. Barlow is equally as good
public speaker as James McLachlan
ana he is man who knows where he
| STANDS on public questions. He does not
change his views in a night
Hon. c. G. Wright is making a great
campaign this year for Bryan, Barlow
and silver. Later the gentleman will
Iully explain to the voters of this city
the water question. Mr.. Wright has had
q great deal Of experience and is per-
haps the best informed man on the sub
| ject on the slate.
| The silver Republicans of Los Angeles
county Will send Judge j. N. Phillips,
Judge r. H. Lamme and s. A. w. Carver
north in few days to preach the doc
trine of silver among the Republicans.
Itis the intention to organize silver Re
publican clubs throughout all Northern
California.
| The free silver meeting at Rosedale on
Monday evening was very enthusiastic
ana well attended. Judge Phillips adj
dress was mastery dissertation on
both of the great themes of the cam
paigns, going over the ground of silver
and tariff In thorough and comprehen-
| sive as well as convincing manner, and
| Gen. Johnstone Jones honored the audi
ence with few moments talk and then
hurried away to the university. where
another meeting was in progress.
Later IN the campaign three free silver
Republtcan orators from the north will
be here to canvass Southern California,
the names will be announced in a few
days.
! "A very warm municipal campaign has
been dove-tailed into a national fight
and the effect of 1t has been to compli-
| cate matters more than ever. One effect
OF 1t has also been to uncover quite a
| number OF silver Republicans
Frank James Is doing some very able
and energetic work on the executive
committee of the Democratic county
committee. Mr. James is an intelligent
| worker and he can accomplish a great
dea! In very short time
The Democratic city central commit
tee Will not be organized for a number
or days yet. The organization will be
enecteo IN time to do some good, strong
| work in the campaign.
The Democratic city convention which
just adjourned was at expense Of STA,
| This was just one-third the expense of
the Republican city convention. Every
debt has been paid by Secretary Mel
Vile and he has surplus to turn over
to the Incoming city committee.
The Republicans have secured a tent
from Catalina island and will hold meet
| ings in It,
W. j. Hunsaker, gold Democrat, is
canvassing the county for Mckinley.
This Is sad sight, but 1t cannot be
helped.
Editor s. M. Haskell of Pomona has
| emblazoned his name on this campaign
as sure enough orator. He is talker
from way back.
| Congressman Charles A. Boutelle of
Maine will be here presently to electrify
| the heavens and others with his oratory.
MI. Boutelle Is congressman from
Maine and gentleman who ranks high
in both public and private life. He is
neither an anarchist nor bomb throw
er, but he is an advocate Of the gold
standard.
The astonishing intelligence comes
from Lincoln, Neb., according to the
Evening Express. that Bryan will not
carry his own ward, although he will
carry the state of Nebraska. Admit this
to be true, it is perfectly satisfactory to
all the friends of silver in Nebraska as
well as those in Los Angeles
The frost James MacLachlan is re-
ceiving in the outside districts in this
county Is very discouraging, to the Re-
publican managers, but asryet no heat
ing process has been invented that can
| cause thaw. James is now fully known
to the people in his proper attitude as
straddler and man of changeable prin-
ciples.
There never was a Democratic city
convention held in Los Angeles where
there was SO little dissatisfaction over
results attained as is the case with the
one that just adjourned. Nominees oss
the general ticket give universal salts
| faction everywhere.
There will be a grand rally at Cutters
hall, Twenty-fifth street and Vernon
avenue. this evening.
The Bryan Union Veterans Silver club
meets this evening at their hall, Downey
block, at 7:30 o'clock. AS very important
business is to come before the club, ev-
cry member is requested to be present.
All Union veterans who have not signed
the roll are fraternally requested to be
present The club now numbers 145
members.
Will d. Gould will speak at the wig
| wan Thursday evening.
