Our money was good enough four

Four years ago there were a number
OF voters in tho United States who said
they thought the country needed a

II have heard many stories about the

state" said c. T. Abone of Des Moines
at the Arlington, but the best was re-
lated to me short time ago by man
who knew him well and who vouched for
the truth of it, Dean went to Iowa in
the early days of that state and settled
on a small farm. The first year he rails
ed a considerable quantity Of oats and
assisted in cutting and placing them in
his barn. After the oats had been dis
posed of Dean started to dig a WELL a
task that occupied two or three weeks,
owing to it's caving in before he COM
pleted it, nearly burying the orator
Some time after the well was finished he
complained of headache, Il trouble he
seldom had In a week or two after
the headaches started they became so
severe that he called upon physician
and was given medicine which did no
good Another visit resulted, and the
doctor concluded to examine the head
and see where the trouble lay. Mr..
Dean, go and have it moved was his
comment. The dirt from the we'll had
fallen upon oats, and the result was a
good crop starting in the unkempt hair
of the preacher. He had the halr cut

There were no further developments

The Republican committee of Los An
geles county at last realizes the predic-
ament the party is in, so far as this
county is concerned.
They have given up all hope of carry
ing the county for Mckinley They re-
alize that this is practical impossible
ity in the nature of things.
or course the committee does not, to
the general public, admit this fact. But
nevertheless the members of the COM
mittee will confidentially tell you that
there is no hope OF carrying Los Angeles
county.
In their published statement they
claim that Mckinley will have 4100 ma
jority in this county. But when one con-
siders that this majority is based on the
estimate that the desertionS from the
Democratic party to Mckinley are
equally as great as the desertionS from
Hanna Republicanism TO Bryan and sill
yer YOU can at once see that the compu-
alton is a rope of sand.
The truth of the matter is that Los
Angeles county is as certain to give a
majority for the Bryan electoral ticket
as election day is to arrive.
There will be approximately $4,000
votes cast in Los Angeles county this
year, as against 24,233 cast two years
ago for the congressional candidates.
Two years ago the vote cast on con-
gressional candidates. which is the fair
est basis of calculation extant, was as
follows:
McLachlan. Republican,, 11,364; Pat
ton, Democrat 1884; Bowman, Populist
4453; total Democratic and Populist
vote, 1l,347; McLachlan's majority, IT,
This year there will be 11,0o0 more
votes cast, and il the division We're the
same as two years ago McLachlan
would have about thirty majority over
Democrats and POpulists. providing the
ratio of the added vote was the same.

Say.

The Republicans fired their last big
gun last evening at Hazards pavilion,
when George A. knight delivered an
oration to a large crowd, but fell short
of adding a lesson to the campaign of
education. Mr.. Knight should have felt
pleased at the size of the audience, large
ly composed of the fair sex, and he
doubtless put forth his best forensic ef-
fort. and, though he kept his hearers in
good humor, he said little in the way of
enlightenment.
After some Introductory remarks by
Frank p Flint, president of the Mckln-
ley club, and some music by the glee
club, Mr.. knight opened his speech by
plunging at once into a discussion of the
tariff, dealing first with generalities and
later getting down to local application
of his statements He called to his aid
the well-Worn illustration Of compari-
son of wages in China. Japan and Eu-
rope to show the difficulty American la :
Dor would have in competing with the
foreigners, and the absolute necessity of
protecting home industries. "The labor
ing man ought to know what is to his
best interest,"" said the speaker; che
ought to get up and thank God that there
is such an organization as the Republic
an party to fight his battles for him.
MIR. Knight then went into disquisi-
ton on oranges and prunes, in the course
of which he declared that the town Of
Orange, for instance, could never have
been a possibility but for the protective
tariff and the Republican party 1t was
while on this subject that Mr.. Knight
suddenly switched off by saying: But

yoked himself with an unruly steer and
had reason to regret it. The speaker
urged all to vote for the Republican

laudation of that gentleman he applied

point he had selected for the party was
scarce. There was a splendid tree, but
its crop was light. Wealth is the true
father of eXpedients. The rich man
bought a generous supply of chestnuts

arrived at the nutting ground, the tree
had been shaken and on the ground lay
a remarkably generous supply of nuts.
The business of gathering them went
merrily forward when, all of a sudden,

picked up a fallen leaf and looked at it
