That nomination of Hon. Olin Wel

The proposition to allow a commis
sion of 25 per cent to any one who will
sell off the world's fair souvenir coins of
50 cents denominational value, certainly
looks very undignified and unbecoming
in a first-class commercial nation. It
virtually degrade* the secretary of the
treasury to the level of a street fakir,
and puts the president on a par with a
Chatham street "Cheap John." How
ever, if other nations wish to be taught
object lessons of thrift, this is one of
them.
That was a happy thought of Dr.

rather late in the season for a visit of
the Asiatic cholera, and there is already
a slight trace of frost in the atmosphere
after nrdnight. Still, we are glad to Eec

That financial echemeof the Macaroni

for the statement. We had no idea,
however, that the "balance of trade"

TPS AKGELES ITER ALP: FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1892.
THE GREAT NORTHERN WALKS OUT.
A dissolution of tbe Transcontinental
association, which ia merely "a trust"
on railroad freights and fares, ia one of
the probabilities of the near future.
The Great Northern railway (hitherto
known as the Manitoba, the Montana
Central and "Jim Hill's" road) baa al
ready withdrawn from the pool; and
this will leave that corporation free and
footloose, to fight both the Union Pa
cific and Northern Pacific at close range.
The great Northern lies on the original
eurveV of the Northern Pacific, made by
Gen. Isaac I. Stevena in 1853. Had tbe
Northern Pacific kept to that line, the
Great Northern never would have been
built, but there were some people in
the directorate of the Northern Pacific
who foresaw speculation in a route by
the Yellowstone park ; and the course
of the road waa diverted that way,
totally ignoring the great pasa of the
Missouri. The consequence was that
"Jim" Hill built the Great Northern on
the abandoned route, and has a road
which has no gradient above sfi feet to
the mile between Helena and St. Paul.
This difference of grade enablea the
Great Northern to haul 44 loaded grain
cara of 15 tone each, with the aame
motive power (a 60-ton engine of the
"hog" pattern) that the Northern or
Union Pacific requires to move 27 loaded
cara.
The Great Northern ia coming into
California before 1895, and will be a
most dangerous competitor for the trade
of this state, certainly as far south as
San Francisco. It can get the Donahue
road whenever Mr. Hill so deairee, and
that is a good paying road for the first
32 railea out of the 75 milea already
built. The Tianscontinental associa
tion will never realize what a power
the Great Northern ia till the latter
road comes to put on a line of boats be
tween Seattle and San Francisco, to
serve until its railway line enters Cali
fornia, and either buya the Donahue
road or reaches San Francisco by some
new route of ita own.
Three years ago the Northern Pacific
had the best transcontinental passenger
traffic of any one of live parallel roads.
Today its business is completely cut in
two by the Great Northern, whose easy
grade enable the hauling of so much
larger loads by a single locomotive, that
it has virtually absorbed the through
freight for Portland, Seattle and all the
northwest cities ; and left both the N.
P. and U. P. lines to sit down and con
template a view of impending bank
ruptcy. Once let this road enter Cali
fornia, and thero ia do line acrosa the
continent that can underbid it for
through freights and fares. For letting
thia corporation slip out of the
compact between the transcontinental
roads, the association will never be sorry
hut once, and that will be all the time.
Hill is a very aggressive man, and just
as well versed in steamboat business aB
he is in railroads. He has also the ad
vantage of a new road, in perfect repair,
with new care, and everything else to
enable him to make a big fight, and carry
heavy loads at figures which will prove
ruinous toeitherof his immediate rivals.
H'ib progress towards San Francisco will
be watched with the greatest interest.
WIDNEY FOR SENATOR.
In all the 'orty-two years of Califor
nia's existence as a state, there has
never been a United States Benator
elected from south of the Tehagh
ipe range. San Francisco, not con
tent with absorbing everything else, has
likewise had a monopoly of the sena
tors ever since the Chegon steamed into
the golden gate on the Bth of Septem
ber, 1850. with the welcome news that
a new star had been born into the
galaxy of states. True, there have
been occasional variations of the pro
gramme, such ac the election of Booth
and Latham of Sacramento, and Farley
ot Amador. But ia a general way the
metropolis ha 9 had the senators right
along, from the burley Broderick down
to the diminutive Felton.
In yesterday morning's Herald ap
peared a card addressed to Hon. R.M. Wid
ney, asking him to be a candidate for
senator, in the event that the Republi
cans have a majority in the next legisla
ture. Of course the Herald being a
Democratic newspaper, would prefer to
see a Democratic legislature elected and
a Democratic Benator, as the legitimate
consequence thereof.
But if a Bepublican legislature is to
be elected, and a Republican senator
chosen, we know of no man we would
rather see succeed Mr. Felton than
Judge Widney. As a lawyer, he has
been a man of marked ability, and his
career as a banker has been singularly
successful. If elected, the southern end
of the state will have an energetic and
industrious advocate in the senate, and
one who will labor unceasingly for her
advancement and prosperity.
THE POPULISTS.
M rs. Disss and Marlon Cannon Address
a Meeting.
Fully 2000 people aßßembled last even
ing at the People's party gathering, be
tween First and Second streets, on
Broadway.
B. W. Batchelor, chairman of the
county central committee, called the
meeting to order, and announced the
vice presidents of the meeting, as fol
lows! E. M. Wardell, of Monrovia;
Judge TJtley and Caro F. Dxss, of Pas
adena; C. H. DilloD, of Long Beach;
Fred J. Mull, sr., of Cahuenga; E. M.
Hamilton, J. F. Greenough, L. Luckel,
W. C. Bowman, J. H. McWilliama, G.
W. Lang, and S. A. Waldron, of Los An
geleß.
A solo was next announced to be sung
by Mr. Salyer, entitled, All on Account
of the Tariff.
Chairman Batchelor then introduced
Mr. Cannon. He said: "All over the
district have men been inquiring what
kind of a man Cannon is. You see
what kind of a man I am. lam a plain
man, and lam in this fight for the re
lief of the great middlemen. I am in
the field to represent the people, and no
corporation. This is a political revolu
tion that will sweep tbe whole coun
try."
The speaker paid a compliment to
both Cleveland and Harrison. Then the
question of silver was touched upon
He spoke of the banks of tbe country,
«nd the amount of money they would
put in the field to defeat any party.
The railroad question was then
touched upon, the speaker asserting,
"All the corporations of tbia district
cannot defect, me. lam going to Wash
ington "
Mr. Cannon spoke at length on the
transportation question, and his speech
was frequently interspersed with ap
plause.
.Mrs. Anna C. Diggs was then intro
duced by Chairman Batchelor as the
"Kansas Sunbeams."
Mrs. Diggs is a small woman, and has
a determined face. She is an earnest
speaker, and her style of oratory waa
such that it had a tendency to captivate
the crowd from the start, and her voice
easily reached to the edge of the vast
audience.
The speaker took for a portion of her
text a quotation from Senator Ingalls,
that "thiß was a fearless and relentless
struggle, and by the close of the present
century the middle class would entirely
disappear." Taking this for the ground
work of her remarks, ehe made a power
ful appeal for the support of the Peo
ple's party, and spoke until nearly 11
o'clock.
WELLS FARGO'S HOME.
THK COMPANY'S ELEGANT Ol AB-
TiSKS ON MAIN STUI2KT.
Offices Which Combine n Bare Degree
of Beauty With Perfect Appoint
ments—Some of the Features t
of the Place.
The tendency of the city to grow west
ward is etrikingly evidenced by the move
made by Wella-Fargocompany'a express
office, from the Baker block, on North
Main street, to the northwest corner of
Main and Third Btreeta. For several
years the report waa current that Super
intendent William Pridham waa consid
ering the proposition, and now it is a
fact accomplished.
The building is a handsome three
story brick edifice, with brown stone
trimmings, and ia eminently well adapt
ed for the purpose of containing the
company's vast business.
The offices occupy the first floor, and
the cellar will be used as a storage room
aud iike purposes. As the offices are
entered from the Main-street entrance
the eye is at once delighted and rested
by the soothing tone of the decorative
effect. Tbe deskß, furniture, and fit
tings are all of quartered oak. polished
till it is as smooth and reflecting as
plate glass.
The metal grills in front of the coun
ters, and the gates at the desks of tbe
officials, are novel and most beautiful
in design; the metal used is oxydized
copper, the effect being one of strength
Combined with elegance, with no garish,
glittering motive to disturb tbe well
conceived artistic effect of the whole
room.
Mr. William Pridham, the company's
most able superintendent, while giving
all the credit for what has been accom
plished, to others, is really the man
who has in a large measure directed the
whole affair; particularly has his good
taste and artistic judgment been shown
in the design of the decorations. The
walls are finished in what is called "hard
finish mortar stain." This was execu
ted by a Mr. Bryson, who is an artist in
that line, mid is the second work of tbe
kind ever done in the state. The effect is
one of solidity, and tbe color tone being
terra cotta, harmonizes perfectly with
the oak furnishings, and pleases the eye
to a remarkable degree. The dyes
were especially imported by Architect
Edelman. The result is that the light
is exactly adapted to clerical work, and
is most pleasant to one entering from
the glaring sun of the streets. The
frieze is a beautiful piece of work, full
of grace in design and fitting perfectly
with the eur/oundicgs.
On entering from Main street, agent
Butler's office is fir6t met with ; next is
iVlr. Pridham's priavte office, which is
fittingly furnished. Then comes the
quarters of Major Duncan, the com
pany's able route agent. These occupy
the Main-street front, and part of the
north side of the building.
The rest of the floor is occupied by
the main offices, the cashier, the money
order department, the receiving and
local delivery rooniß, and the freight and
package department. To the right of
the extreme rear 1b a large room for "on
hand" packages, provided with suitable
boxes and shelves.
The employes are particularly well
looked after. Handsomely furnished
lavatories are arranged for them, and in
no particular has their comfort been
disregarded.
The Main-street entrance is topped by
a handsome metal Eign, which Mr.
Pridham had made while the building
was being erected, from measure
ments from the architect's plans.
It will be a prominent object for
many blocks down Main street.
The front of the ofhces is made up most
ly of large plate glass windows, of nota
ble purity, and hung on tbe inside with
heavy silk sash curtains of particular
richness and elegance. In tbe cellarare
large furnaces, which in the winter will
keep the temperature perfectly equable.
On the whole tbe place is not excelled
in beauty or appointments by any bank
ing bouse in the city, and in some par
ticulars surpasses them all. The place
is in the business center, convenient to
everybody, and the move must result in
a large increase in tbe company's busi
ness, which has been so well developed
and carefully handled by Superinten
dent Pridbam and Agent Butler.
Tbe work of fitting up tbe offices v. as
done by J. Y. Aver, the company's su
perintendent of office equipment, and it
is evident tbat the gentleman has called
on his best resources and highest skill
in the undertaking.
AN OPEN DUAWBKIDGE,
BJsaster Befalls a Mail Train on the
Hudson River Road.
Nkwburg, N. V., Sept. I.—The fast
mail train on tbe Hudson Kiver railroad
met with a disaster at New Hamburg
drawbridge this morning. The draw
had been opened and was just being
closed, when a train dashed in it as the
bridge was nearly closed. The en
gine jumped the gap, but the tender
fsiled to cross. The engineer, Joseph
Owenß, and his fireman, Edward Best,
were iiißtantly killed. Mail Clerk J. H.
Kane was also instantly killed, and half
a dozen passengers slightly injured. The
bridge tender claims tbe signals were
properly set. The dead engineer was

THE GREAT BATTLE ON TODAY,
Respectables Fighting the
Court Honse Ring.
Imported San Francisco Jugglers to
Work the Primaries.
All Hope of Downing the Kins; Dissi
pated—The Outlook Promising for
Trouble of a Serlons
Character.
Today the Republican primaries are to
be held, and tbe great battle will be
over by 7 o'clock tonight. Then it will
be known who the delegates to the Re
publican county convention are, which
is to assemble next Tuesday, at Illinois
ball, to place in nomination a county
ticket.
The struggle at the primaries today
will be a momentous one. The question
at issue, within the ranks of the Repub
lican party, is, shall the ring still con
tinue to control as it has in the past, or
shall the decent element oi the party,
which is generally inactive at primaries,
step in and have something to say about
who shall stand as the party candidates
in the present campaign.
THE POWER OF THE RING.
The truth of the matter is that the
ring has foisted upon Los Angeles county
a number of officials who are not only
incompetent, but notably reckless in
dispensing county funds. This same
ring is responsible for the $12 per minute
government which Los Angeles county
has tcday. It is responsible for tbe ex
travagance and official rottenness exist
ing at the court house today whereby
thousands of dollars of the taxpayers
money is dispensed among favorites of
the ring. It is responsible for a vast
army of deputies employed at the court
house in tbe various offices, wbo are en
tirely unnecessary, and who are com
pelled to fall over one another in a mad
endeavor to find something to do. They
render no service yet they are kept upon
the pay rolls, foisted upon the county
simply because they render service to
the ring in primaries and conventions.
These barnacles upon the people are the
ones that will be found at the primaries
today advancing the interests of the
ring.
EFFORTS UNAVAILING.
As has been before stated, the respec
table element of the party, the element
that is moved by principles and not by
selfish interests — that element that
wants to see an honest government,
economically administrated — has not
heretofore taken much of a hand at Re
publican primaries. The result cf it all
is that this year they rind that the
party machinery iB in the bands cf the
ring, and they are not in it. All of the
machinery is dead against them. Every
demand that the respectable element
has made of the county commit
tee, has been ignored and re
fused. In many instances, where
the ring ticket is threatened with
defeat the ballot box is to be in the
hands of men whose characters are most
questionable. Men have been named
judges of the primary election whose
only claim to fame is founded upon the
fact that in tbe art of stuffing the ballot
box, throwing out ballots that are
known to be against them, bulldozing
voters and like primary election tricks,
thoy are adepts and graduates.
It is in vain that the selfrespecling
Republicans have objected and pro
tested. The result of It all is tbat
against overwhelming odds the decent
Republicans have decided to battle
againßt ballot box stufferß as best they
can. They are alive to the fact tbat the
tight they make is a hopeless one, but
they are waging an energetic contest
just the same, and will be found out in
force today.
TROUBLOUS TIMES AHEAD.
There is going to be trouble at some
of the polling places or tbe signs of the
times aie not to be believed. The out
look is most promising, for numerous
and sundry battered faces and marked
up countenances, to be t seen by 7 o'clock
tonight.
It is indeed sad to note this moral
decay in the "Holier Than Thou" party
in Los Angeles county. The time has
arrived when the members of the party
which involves all of the patriotism, all
of the morality and all of the respecta
bility extant, "in the country, aocording
to their own claims and statements, are
forced to spend thousands of|dollars,and
to form organizations to proiect them
selves from the ballot box stuffers, bull
dozers and prize fighters in their own
ranks, at a primary election. It is with
a feeling akin to sorrow that the Herald
feels called upon to note these evidences
of certain and early dissolution of a
once mighty political combination.
Let it be understood, though, that
the Herald predicts that the ring will
prevail at the primaries today. It is
entrenched in power and has become
very arrogant. It will stop at nothing
to retain its much abused authority.
The outrages that will be committed in
its name at tbe polls will fill volumes.
Such is Republicanism in Los Angeles
county.
THE SECOND WARD RESPECTABLE.
In tbe Second ward the Republican
Protective league has issued the follow
ing circular. Two thousand copies have
been mailed to the various voters ol the
ward:
We earnestly request you to support
the ticket of the Republican Protective
league of Second ward for delegates to
the county convention. The election of
the ticket will be the most evident and
positive protest to the late manipula
tions at the primaries, and the best as
surance of honest representation in the
future.
Tbe ticket is unpledged, and was nom
inated by a committee appointed at a
meeting held August 22d, at which a
large representation of citizens of the
Second ward were present, and was sub
mitted to a meeting August 31st, com
posed of upwards of 150 citizens of the
Second ward, for their approval, and un
animously endorsed.
The Republican Protective League is
composed of citizens of the Second ward,
the roll has been signed by 175 repre
sentative citizens, and is open to the
signatures of all who favor an honest
count at elections, whether primaries or
other, and all in sympathy with the
movement are respectfully requested to
sign the roll.
THE IMPORTED TALENT.
The imported talent from San Fran
cisco, that has been shipped in to help
the ring in carrying the Republican
primaries today, has been heretofore re
ferred to by the Herald. I« includes
many individuals whose reputations for
probity of character are unenviable and
notorious. They have been distributed

in the Second, Seventh and Eighth
wards, where their curious work is most
needed by the gang. It is with un
feigned regret that the Herald calls at
tention to the fact that it iB now in
order for the Republican party to levy
a protective tariff against the ballot-box
stuffers of San Francisco, wbo are im
ported here to compete with the home

should not be brought into unholy com

It would be well to put a prohibitive
duty on him.
THE DEMOCRATIC CONTENTION.
The executive committee of the Dem
ocratic county central committee held
a harmonious meeting yesterday, which
can be beautifully contrasted with like
meetings of the Republican committee.
It was decided to hold a primary elec
tion to elect delegates to the Democratic
county convention on September 17th.
The convention to nominate a county
ticket will be held at Turn Verein hall
on September 20th. In any ward in
Los Angeles city precinct primaries can
be held, if they are desired. Otherwise
ward primaries are to prevail.
A sub-committee of six was named to
draft the call for tbe primaries and con
vention, as follows: A. F. Mackay,
Stephen M. White, A. McNally, JohnT.
Qaffey, J. H. Brewer and M. 0. Marsh.
In du# time the call for the convention
and primaries will be printed in this
paper. There will be one delegate in
the convention from every precinct, and
one delegate for eveiy 30 Democratic
votes cast at tbe last state election. This
will give over 400 delegates seats on the
floor. It iB desired to have as large a
convention as possible, in order that the
voice of the great mass of the Democracy
may find worthy representation, and be
given a hearing.
political notes.
The court house will be rather de
serted today. About every officer in it
wants to be renominated, and his dep
uties want the same result effected.
They will be at the primaries, watching
the course of events. Nevertheless, the
cost of the county government will be
run on at the rate of $12 per minute.
In the Fifth ward the Republicans held
a lively caucus last evening. The mayor
and Judge Silent bad quite a discussion,
which was of a lively character. But
when it came to the final test of strength
the Hazard end was downed. The
mayor is no longer in it at Republican
caucuses and primaries. The ticket
named last night was: E. F. G. Klokke,
Al Barker. George Alexander, W. T.
Williams, Mr. Horton, F. A. Harbert,
Ed Silent.
The Fourth ward ticket selected at
last night's caucus was as follows: J. A.
Thomas, D. Samson, W. B. Matthews,
F. Van Vleck, E. H. Barmore, M. G.
Willard, N. 0. Whitehead, A. N. Fran
cisco, A. S. Joseph, 8. A. Garrett, Chas.
Forrester, I. L Walsh, S. McClure,
Henry Gripp, A. M. Austin, W. T. Bar
nett, M. J. Magrew.
Look out for some spilled blood at the
