MARK Hanna HARVEY
HIS ORANGE COUNTY TICKET
DOOMED TO DEFEAT
"A List Of Clean-Handed Excellent
Gentlemen on the Union. Ticket.
Wideawake's Observations

| SANTA ANA, Sept. H.-(Special Core
spondence to The fferald.) Uneasy lies
Mark Hanna Harvey's head over the po-
litical situation In Orange county today.
Harvey realizes that, as matters now
stand. his county ticket is doomed to de-
feat at the polls on the Sth day Of next
November. Like Belsiiazzar of old he sees
the handwriting on the wall, and it is CIV
ing him any amount OF worry. Harvey
and his henchmen had hoped to prevent
, a union In the nomination Of county candi-
dates against his own ticket. and did all
| he could to defeat that proposition; but
his work was too coarse and his labor in
vain.
The forces against Harvey made their
nomina tons In triple convention In man
ner so pleasant, harmonious and decent as
/ to carry terror to the Harvey heart and
forebodings OF defeat to every one OF his
candidates In the dominant Republican
party. Harvey said, prior to the conVen-
lions of the people opposed to one-man rule
in county politics, that an agreeable and
harmonious union of the Democrats, Pop
ulists and Silver Republicans in Orange
county was out Of the question. His pre-
dictions have proven well nigh infalllble
when applied to The workings OF his own
little party machine. but they are not worth
a bawbee in the opposite direction. SO
the small boss and prophet saw himself
rebuked, discredited and without honor,
| not only at the race track. but on all the
other tracks.
The union against Harvey is perfectly
united, and, with the help of the independ-
plrttpg
proposes to defeat this diminiurfve and self
appointed rule-or-ruin dictator.
But 1t is not alone the harmony Of the
union against him which disturbs Boss
Harvey. The personnel Of the union can
didates against his own is giving him the
greatest uneasiness just now. He sees
arrayed against him list Of ciean-handed
excellent gentlemen In the highest sense OF
that term-candidates whose nominations
came to them unsought, in large measure,
without the dictation OF any boss, large or
small. They Will, therefore, when elected,
enter upon their several duties untram-
meled They are neither chronic office
seekers nor office-holders. Among them
are DR.. M. A. Menges, for the assembly.
His peculiar" opponent is Office-holder
| Chynoweth. who seeks a reelection by the
grace of Harvey and his push and pull.
]. Wiley Harris is the union candidate for
county clerk. Harveys candidate is Dep
uty Office-holder Beckett, who, II elected,
will perpetuate himself In office for an
other four years. Honest Theo. Lacy is
| the peoples candidate for sheriff. Har-
vey's push put up Office-hoder Nichols,
who wants some more OF the same kind.
Pioneer Jacob Ross is the fusion candidate
for assessor. Harvey permitted the
straight" Republican organization to
nominate Office-holder Vegley, who is will
| ing to continue in office another four years.
u. G. Littell of Boisa, an honest. hard
working young man, was named by the late
| triple conventions for auditor. Harvey's
convention put up for that office Office
holder Hail. who has held down tina, job
for eight years, but who still wants more.
Prof. Evans of Anaheim. who was nomi-
mated for county school superintendent by
no union forces without his consent. de-
qined to make the race against Office
fplder John +. Greeley, who has pulled
OWN a fat salary in this office for Ten
Vars "only," and wants more. He too Is
Htrvey's candidate, but notwithstanding
this fact came near being defeated for the
inclination. DR.. l. ID. Mills, a worthy and
canble man, has been named for the office
OF oroner by the forces opposed to Boss
Harley. Harvey's man is a fat and sleek
doctr and office-holder. Clark Of Fuller
ton. He has been In office four years; he
wantt some more. E. d. Cooke, an old SOL
der, the clean and clever candidate Of
fusionfor the office OF recorder. Opposed
to himpn the Cash Harvey ticket Is Office
holder Scott, whose four-year term will
soon expire. He wants more, and Har-
vey Is ''willin'." Kind and charitable
Joseph Eoch is one of the union candi-
dates fot member of the board Of super
visors. thrifty f. P. Mickey secured Har-
vey's nomination by a scratch. He has
held the (osisicn for four years. He de-
sires furtler opportunity to exercise his
thrift an0 Of course, wants more. Nc
Williams q the union tickle. is pitted
against Onee-holder Potter, who wants
more. Harry is backing Potter D. c.
