SAN JOSE, Nov. 2.—The Good Gov- ernment League and Democratic Coun- ty Central Committee are taking steps to balk the gang's attempt to steal the vote of the city to offset the big ma- jority the reform forces will get in the country. The joint committee of these two organizations has decided to offer a reward of $250 for the arrest and con- viction of any one caught tampering with the count. All such offenders will be arrested, and, with J. H. Campbell elected District Attorney, conviction will be possible.

Delmas is expected to deliver an address and give the gang a good “roasting.” | “Johnnie” Mackenzie and “Jim"” Rea are keeping pretty close to each other _ | these days and using all their persuas- | ive—and threatening, too—powers to | get their disrupted forces into line. The | gang has plenty of money and is spend- | ing it to get votes. This corruption fund was raised by assessments upon city and county officials and the Fire and Police departments. The Rea gang wants to elect, above all others, B. A. Herrington District | Attorney and Thomas F. Morrison { County Clerk, and at the same time | defeat James H. Lyndon for Sheriff. By | capturing this trio of officers the gang would really have control of things and its members would be safe from arrest and conviction. The registration of voters also would be in their hands. Herrington, the present District Attor- ney, has been a phant tool in the hands of Rea and his re-election means a continuance of the same loose manner of conducting the office. During his term indictments have been quashed, papers lost and bail bonds stolen. His last questionable act was to postpone the trial of John Mathews, the drunken constable, who shot - Henry . Hopken in cold blood, until after election, in crder, it is alleged, to get the votes of Mathews’ friends at Milpitas. The gang fears the election of James H. Campbell, the anti-gang candidate, be- cause the dereliction in the office will be exposed and all violaters of the law punished. The Sheriff’s office is one Mackenzie and Rea want badly. James H. Lyn- don, the Good Government nominee, has the better of the fight. He has two opponents, School Trustee R. T. Lang- ford and George Y. Bollinger. The for- mer is a Republican and the latter a Democrat, but Rea owns both men body and soul. Langford’s record in the School Department is so well known that it-need not be referred to, further than to say that he assisted Boss Rea in wrecking the High School for the nomination of Sheriff. He is the same Langford Rea told of on the witness stand. He was the employer of Coun- cilman Martin, and when the latter was caucusing with other Ccuncilmen over the election of policemen and firemen Rea broke into the meeting and seized Martin by the collar and dragged him from the meeting, threatening him with his discharge by Langford unless he (Martin) obeyed his (Rea’s) wishes. Bollinger's* gang connections cannot be questioned and he is as close to the boss as Langford. He was Sheriff once Single - Taxer NOVEMBER 3, 1898.

There are five deputyships to be given out, making the patronage of the office one of the best in the county. Henry A. Pfister, the anti-gang candi- date, is making a good fight and his excellent record of the past four years makes him almost a certain winner. Livermore Republican Rally. LIVERMORE, Nov. 2—The Republi- cans held a large rally here to-night, the last of the campaign in Livermore. The speakers were Victor H. Metcalf and N. C. Allen.

All he knew about the gentleman he had learned through the speeches Gage had made in this campaign, and judging from them as samples of the gentle- man’s ability he could understand why the uthern Pacific did not employ him. He acknowledged that he had cost the State a great deal of money— probably more than he was worth. But for that reason the people should- keep him in public service rather than pay tclslx; another in the school of statesman- ship. ; In closing Maguire stated that he did not consider the question of single.tax an issue, because it was not mentioned in any political platform and could not be enforced without the passage of -a State constitutional amendment. He said that after the campaign was over he would be perfectly willing fo discuss. single tax with Messrs: Barnes, Knight and Gage, if they would just inform themselvés sufficiently on thé subject to make it worth his ‘while. £ After he had finished Hutchison, Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor, was Introduced.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—Theodore Roosevelt began his speech-making ‘to the Long Islanders to-day before the business men of the city had. finished their breakfasts, and by noon he had | addressed audiences at ten- or’ ‘morée stations along the line of the Long Isl= and Railroad. His principal topic was Richard Croker, -who last night ' at- tacked Colonel Roosevelt’s adminis: tration of the Police Department ‘dur+ ing the Mayoralty of Mr. Strong.

BB F e OS ANGELES, Nov ‘son, and a good and Strong ° ong, why Henry T. Gage will receive the old-time Republican ‘majority from' Los Angeles County 'is De- cause of the fact that the Republicans have this’ year placed in the field a county and legislative ticket that is ad- .mittedly the strongest one that was ever offered for the suffrages of the voters. The legislative ticket is par ticularly strong. Six members of the Assembly and two Senators are to be chosen this year from this county. The Republican nominee in the Thirty-eighth Benatorial District will be elected easily. He is one of the pio- neer settlers of the county and has al- - ‘ways been prominent in the Republican | OW.LONGDEN SLUPERVISOR 32 DIST. organization way back to the time when ‘the Democrats swept everything south of the Tehachapi Mountains. His name is A. T. Currier. He is certain to be elected. In the- Thirty-sixth Senatorial Dis- trict Captain C. M. Simpson has been renominated for Senator. Captain Simpson’s record in the Senate will carry him through beyond any ques- tion. Opposed to him is a Silver Re- publican named J. Noonan Phillips. Mr. Phillips «. the Democratic County Convention made a statement to the ef- fect that the discontented veterans at the Soldiers’ Home, who were displeas- ed with the management of that insti- tution by Governor A. J. Smith, “ought to have & rope around somebody’s CANDIDATES WHO WILL AID GAGE " 7IN CARRYING LOS ANGELES COL W.SMELICK. ASSEMBLYMAN| O DIST.- /(‘ff.,/;f Hoy “«" T.E.NIC [ neck” (meaning Governor Smith) and he, the speaker. would be only too glad to be with them at the right end of it. This open advocacy of mob law by a man seeking the nomination for Dis- trict Attorney, as Phillips then was, caused a great deal of comment, and six days thereafter Governor Smith was shot by one of the inmates of the home whose brain had become diseased from alcoholic indulgence. This is the man- ner of man that the unholy alliance is using to defeat Captain Simpson, and it can therefore be stated with a cer- tainty that Senator Simpson’s second term will begin in January. The six candidates for the Assembly are all good men. W. 8. Melick from the Szventleth District, L. H. Valen- tine from the Seventy-fourth District and O. H. Huber from the Seventy-first District have already had experience in the Legislature. They will all be elected, as the districts in which they are running are overwhelmingly Re- publican. Joseph M. Miller, a substantial agri- culturist, is the candidate in the Seven- ty-second District. He will be elected. N. P. conrey, at present a member of the Board of Education of this city, will carry the Seventy-fifth Distreit. In the Seventy-third District James Meredith is the candidate of the Re- publican party. He has a Democratic majority of 600 to overcome, and it Is generally believed that he will succeed. The candidate for County Clerk is [ § N H.GISH -C’OUNTY TAX C Charles W, Bell, a young man ‘who has had experience in the office, having served for some years as a deputy and as clerk of the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Bell hails from Pasadena, and at the recent Republican County conven- tion received a grand ovation. W. A. Hammel, the nominee for Sheriff, is a young man who was born and raised in this city. He is of un- questioned integrity, has had experience in the office as a deputy and will be elected. T. E. Nichols, the candidate for Audi- tor, is also a native of the State. His father was the first Mayor of the city of Los Angeles. Mr. Nichols has served very efficlently for one term as City Auditor, and he will be the next County Auditor. NEEoRL SEEDIoT R. D.

He has been rewarded with the nom- ination for County Recorder, and will undoubtedly be chosen. James C. Rives is the Republican nominee for District Attorney.
