Col. w. f. Heatnman, CITY dttolHes Vi
Santa Ana will ask for the Democratic
nomination for district attorney OF orange
county The colonel seems to be very pop
ular with the people of his city and county.
The Republican county convention Oh Sah
Bernardiro county has renominateo L. H.
Golf for assemblyman for that oistric'.
This is the same Goff who voted Tor wnite-
washing the Duckworth performances IN
the last legislature. The Democrats OF
San Bernardino county should have no
trouble in defeating this man. The same
convention also nominated county ticket
as follows: For sheriff, o. ]. Newman of
Chino; for county clerk, l.. A. Pfeiner OIL
Redlands; for auditor Walter Wagner OF
San Bernardino: for recorder, J. F. john
son; for tax collector, l.. I. Coy; for dis
trict attorney, Cramer B. Morris; for as
SCISSOR, A. G. Kendall; for treasurer, s. M.
Goddard of Cotton; for superintendent of
schools, Mrs. Matte D. Auker; for public
administrator, S. c. Kemp of Etiwanda;
for coroner, DR.. Wesley Thompson.
Senator White addressed the meeting of
the Hickory club at its rooms in the Gard
night. Large numbers of members and
many visitors were present and were we'll
entertained by the senator's remarks.
Col. Edelman of Santa Ana was also
present and entertained the club with nu-
merous good stories and much good sense.
Col. Edelman is a candidate for state treas
urer and wants the Democratic nomination
for tina. office. His visit to Los Angeles Is
undoubtedly for the purpose of becoming
acquainted with the prospective 81 dele
gates from Los Angeles to the state con-
vention.
Col. Dan Baker must feel out Of sorts
since the nomination of Hutchison for
lieutenant governor, pursuant to the fusion
program. Col. Dan for long time has been
planning for this plum, and now to find
that it has dropped from the tree before 1t
was ripe for him must be discouraging in
deed.
1t seems to be the inevitable, however.
The fusion agreement, of course, meets
with some opposition, but the overwhelm-
ing majority of Democrats are conscious of
the fact that it must now be carried out, in
order to keep faith with the other parties.
1t must be an effective arrangement. Hith-
erto our Republican friends have not usual
ly thrown up the sponge so early in the
campaign. In fact. upon few occasions
they have got away with the election some
how or other. But in this campaign they
have not, thus far, been able to find man
in the ranks or lead of their party whom
they can safely trust to measure swords
with Congressman Mcguire. Not only are
they confronted with lack of suitable gub-
ernatorial material, but. having selected
the very best they have, they are still
doubtful of the result. Mcguire could un-
doubtedly be elected upon straight Demo-
cratic ticket. His election upon fusion
ticket is practically assured. The duty of
Democrats is, therefore. to stand by Ma
euire and the fusion agreement and win out,
hands down.
A correspondent wants to know II 1t is
part of the fusion arrangement to give the
Sixth congressional district to the Popu-
lists, or, what is the same thing, to indorse
Barlow.
Politicus will say for the benefit OF this
Individual that there is no fusion agreement
at all between the silver parties as 10 the
Sixth district. The only fusion agreement
in existence Is that made at Sacramento on
the 18th of July, and 1t covers state offices
only. The Populist congressional conven-
ton, however, nominated Barlow, without
any agreement for his Endorsement by the
other silver parties, but. as Politicus sup
POSES, just 10 hurry matters up little.
The same correspondent also asks If, In
the event of fusion in this district, 1t Is
proposed to give this office to the Populists
for the third time.
Politicus does not pretend to be able to
say what the fusion committees will or will
not do. But, If he may be permitted TO ar
rive at an answer on the theory that tho
Democrats are entitled to name the con-
gressman once out of three times, and that
the fusion committees will give some slight
recognition to the Democratic party for
having elected two Populists to congress,
he would be inclined to say that Mr.. Barlow
will not be indorsed by the Democrats, but
on the contrary, that the committees will
give this office to the Democrats.
