The week just closed mas peen an aG'Ne

their speakers out over the county and the
candidates for the various county Offices
have been thoroughly canvassing every pre-
cipct. =.
There has been dearth of state candi-
dates during, the week. Outside OF Thomas
and Will 8. Green, candidate for state treas
urer on the union ticket, there have been no
notables in the city during the week.
For some unaccountable reason the COM
mittees of the union party to whom is IN
trusted the billing of the out-of-town points
where meetings are to be held have failed
to bill the towns, and as result speakers
when they arrive in place find themselves
and their meetings unannoupced. The plan
of sending bills for a meeting to the precinct
committeeman is IN obsolete one. Often
the committeeman lives from seven to seven
meetings are to be held and the bills sent to
him through his local postoffice reach hlm
from seven to seventeen days after the date
set for the meeting.
CITY TICKET
BY common consent the campaign for the
union city ticket has been shelved, except
the individual work of the candidates in
electioneering, until after the state cam

EATON AND THE CLUB

ton, as Eaton has apparently had no use
for the Jonathans until now. A number Of
the members of the club were discussing his
sudden change Of heart yesterday and one
Of them said: "While we are glad to have
Mr.. Eaton among us, still the fact that it
never occurred to him to join the club until
he was nominated for office takes away from
the joy of his welcome. Fred is nice fel-
low, but the members of the Jonathan club
are not in love with the idea of being used
as convenience"
bership of the Jonathan club, although it
was originally political organization, now
comprises about as many Democrats and
Silver Republicans as it does the "simon
pure" Gage Republicans.
REDONDO MEETING
There was a rousing meeting at Redondo
on Saturday night. Earl Rogers, r. w.
Wood, 1. B. Dockweiler and G. R. Frampton
were the speakers, and they had the voters
on chairs and cheering before they got

the country towns in regard to the meetings
are the same, "Great enthusiasm and more
votes."

candidates visited Monrovia, Covina, Azusa
and number of other places last week. At
every place they were given a great recep-
tion, and they returned yesterday more than
pleased with the results of the trip. Cooper
him and says that he is satisfied he will
carry the county by good majority.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC FUNDS
=. For several days past it has been rumored
that: the Southern Pacific railroad intends
to open up the sack during the coming
week and spend money galore where it will
do the most good. This report has made
life burden for the politicians who are the
alleged representatives of Uncle Coils in
this meek of the woods" So far as heard
from, the many applicants for financial aid
have been given promises only, the good,
bard coin still remaining hidden in the
sacks. This has not proved satisfactory to
the push and the pull, and there are mutter-
ings and growlings and threats galore. The
only answer made to the malcontents is to
wait, wait" Republican managers admit
that unless the coin is Forthcoming, the re-
port of the promised riches will prove
boomerang.
