Was Too Much for Him-Many Of His
Supporters DISTINGUISHED by
Parker's Gerrymander

Republicans or this city 1ormaily WILLIE
drawing his candidacy for congress.
number of these gentlemen met this even
ing with Mr.. McLachlan and accepted his
withdrawal as the only step which can now
be taken. Thus an open but not fair field
is left for Waters. McLachlan's friends
have felt for some days past that owing to
political jobbery and gerrymandering IN
the matter of voting places large per-
centage of Republicans who would vote
for McLachlan have been DISTINGUISHED.
To this they attribute his defeat. Nc
Lachlan's withdrawal is final and irrevo-
cable. His friends, after the meeting to-
night, which lasted until late, admitted
''that the Jig is up. They have no doubt of
being able to carry Pasadena all right, but
they have given UP Los Angeles. The col
ored politicians met this evening and or
eanized "the T. B. Morton Republican
Club" They are friends Of MacLachlan
and were greatly shocked upon being told
that he had withdrawn. They had en-
dorsed him.
Republican caucus has been called for
tomorrow evening at 1880 o'clock in the city
hall for the purpose of electing delegates
10 the state convention at Sacramento.
