~~wAi~DNE BTJAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1893.
The campaign of education appears to
have done it? work well. With Cleve
land and Stevenson as principal in
structors, the people made phenomenal
advances in tariiT lore.
The vocal performances in front of the
Hekald office last night show that the
lion-hearted Democracy still have cap
ital lungs. Cheers of genuine enthu
siasm made the night lovely to those
who like Cleveland and Steveneon.
Although no official report of their
action has been given to the country by
the Associated Press, it seems to be con
ceded that the board of engineers, who
lately inspected our roadsteads, have
given the preference to San Pedro.
There was an uncommonly large con
tingent of Los Angeles citizens disfran
chised by faulty registration, and the
peculiar thing about it is that they all
seem to have been Democrats. It will
be difficult to convince these persona
that this waß all the result of inadvert
ence. We have yet to hear of any com
plaints from Republicans of exclusion
from the great register.
The Australian system worked very
smoothly and satisfactorily here yester
day, and we heard nothing but exores
sions complimentary to the new mode
of tuning the vote. Probably there are
e'efects iv it which yesterday's experi
ence has shown ; but the general work
ing of the system is such that any defect
can be easily remedied. The object of
secrecy in casting the ballot is certainly
secured, and this alone is of inestimable
Value to tbe people. Vote-buying bas
received its quietus by the new ballot
system. _________
The anxiety to learn how the election
had gon» brought out an irouaecse num
ber oi people on the streets last night.
The crowd that gathered in front oi the
Herald oflice swelled to prodigiouj pro
portions aa dispatches favorable to
Cleveland were displayed ou the stere
opticon. The great crowd became en
thusiastic and Bent out from their
throats cheers that made the night
vocal, aa news came in that made every
body feel that another landslide for the
Democracy had passed over the country.
There is but one conclusion to be
drawn from the avalanche of yesterday,
and that is that tbe people of this coun
try have set their Eeal of condemnation
upon all tariff policies that are designed
to raise revenue beyond the necessary
expenses of the government. A tariff
Which is imposed for the purpose of en
riching a class at the expense of the rest
of tbe people, will not be tolerated, and
the sooner the government comes back
to tiic true principle of taxation the
better.
Tin: rapid rate at which Mr. Colli3 P
Huntington swings acroee the continent
from ocean to cceaD, and dives into
Mexico, will s on earn him the reputa
tion of being the great American trav
eler. Durini; his recent visit here he
left an impression that his company
propose to do great things for Santa
Monica. The wharf above the old Santa
Monica cafion is now out a distance of
2200 feet, and there is a depth of 29 feet
at that point. When it reaches 3100
feet it will be widened to 135 feet for the
remaining 3700 feet. Then the city by
the sea will be in it, and no mistake.
If California has gone Democratic by
a majority of 650 to 750, aB our midnight
dispatches would indicate, the Austral
ian ballot system has been a potent
factor in that result. With the closed
booth for the voter to prepare his
ballot, the vote-broker was closed
out and dare not purchase for
fear that the goods might not
he delivered. The "kangaroo ballot"
was designed for a country in which
sheriffs, county clerks, etc., are not
elected, but appointed; and while it is
cumbrous and unweildy, it has de
stroyed the avocations of such men aB
Senator Matt Quay and Col. "Bloxofive"
Dudiey, once and forever.
Nevada has realized the expectations
of all parties by goiDg for Weaver.
Frank Q. Newlands will enter cougresß
as a silver member and William M.
Stewart has probably insured his re
election to the eenate of the United
States. This adds one able man to the
house oi representatives and continues
one of the half dozen of its brainiest
and most influential members in the
upper branch of congress. Democrats
will never forget that William M. Stew
art voted for the confirmation of Hon.
L. Q. 0. Lamar for justice of the
supreme court and against the passage
of the force bill. Senator Stewart, when
thus elected by the People's party, will
doubtless decline to group himself with
the Republicans any longer, and in
their present straights this will be a
great loss to that hard-bested organiza
tion.
LOS ANGELES HEBALFj; WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 9, 1892.
VICTORY, COMPLETE AND OVERWHELN
ING.
We have met the enemy and he ia
oure. We have routed him, horse, foot
and dragoone, bag and baggage, scrip
and scrippage. Cleveland and Steven
son have won a splendid victory and
are In every way worthy of it. The in- !
stinct of the maßaeß of the Democratic
party in determining to fight the battle
on the issue of the election of 1888, and
with the man that made that iasue, was
an unerring one. as those who thought
differently soon came to realize when
they saw the unbrideled enthusiasm of
the people for the Btateman without
fear and without reproach. The pro
portions of the victory, when the
thorough organization of the Republi
can party, its vast command of money
and its unscrupulous agen*e, are taken
into the count, are unprecedented. The
very etarß fought for Cleveland, and the
country is better and brighter for his
success.
As we write the news ia steadily im
proving. Each later return advances on
those that had preceded it. Tbe victory
is so sweeping that Republican control
of the Benate of the United States will
soon be broken. New York will elect a
Democratic colleague to sit in that body
with David Bennett Hill. Thus the
Empire state,which had only one Demo
cratic United States senator during the
past thirty years prior to the Hill ad
vent, will shortly be represented by two
stalwart Democrats. The Republican
majority of six in that body will melt
away during the first year of Mr. Cleve
land's administration.
From every direction the news is
cheerful in the extreme. It looks at
this writing as if California will cast her
electoral vote for Cleveland and Steven
son. Humboldt county, which gener
ally gives from 700 to SOO majority for
the Republican candidate, this year
giveß only 250. She complimented her
able representative in congress, Geary,
by giving him the royal majority of 1200.
South of the Tehacbepi the Republican
majority has been cut down. If San
Francieco half does her duty the state
will swell the electoral vote of Cleveland
and Stevenson by her solid nine.
From present advices it looks as if we
have carried our county ticket. Los
Angeles Will send a state senator to
Sacramento to vote for a Southern Cali
fornian to represent our people in the
senate of the United States, and this
will be a great gain. The brilliant can
vass made by Hon S, M. White has
borne immediate and most gratifying
fruits. All Democrats should recognize
the splendid and •Efective work of t'-.e
auxiliary and county couiinittces. They
have deserved well of their party.
Surely, surely thiß is glory enough for
one day I ___________
OUR CITRUS INDUSTRY AND ITS FUTURE
The orange crop this year al! through
Southern California gives promise of a
magnificent yield. This means a great
deal for this section. Last year we suf
fered greatly from a severe norther,
which knocked much of the fruit off the
trees, aud which was followed by dam
aging frosts. It is not too much to say
that this harsh dispensation of the
weather clerk cost Lcs Angeles and
Southern California quite a million and
a half of dollars, and that is a great deal
to lose in a single staple. Extensive
observation in this and San Bernardino
and Ventura counties has satisfied us
that, with an ordinary season, consider
ing the present promising state of crops,
we shall have the largest returns from
our orange groves ever recorded in the
history of this section.
As Loa Aneeles county is peopled by
tens of thousands of persons who know
very little of cur past experiences, we
have thought it well that wo should in
dulge in a number of reminiscences. In
the first place, we have never had a dry
year since the memorable season of
drouth of 1870 77. We have had several
partial dry years since then, but even
the state of New York has had three
years of absolute drouth in that seven
teen years—drouths in which even the
Croton lake threatened to run dry. We
have had no agricultural disaster or
drawback since then, with the excep
tion of the .harsh weather dispensation
of last fall. Surely we are warranted in
assuming that even the most perfect re
gion of earth should look for an occa
sional drawback.
The growth of our citrus industry has
been a marvel. The quality of our fruit
has been the real explanation of the
marvelous growth of this staple, which
is now in eager demand in all quarters
of tbe American continent. When the
editor of the Herald was visiting the
New Orleans exposition he looked care
fully over the oranges that were on ex
hibition there. He telegraphed back to
his paper that if the orange growers of
Southern California would only send on
a representative display of their iruit
they would put the uoeo of the whole
world out of joint. His suggestion was
acted on, and the Riverside Washington
navels took the sweepstakes premium
and Southern California oranges swept
away come thirty-Eeven premiums all
told. This waa a competition in which
oranges from Sicily, from the West In
dies, Florida, and North and South
America took part, including Brazil,
from which we originally drew our own
Washington navel. It settled forever
the question of the superiority of our
oranges, and this means a mine of
riches. To employ the language of Dr.
Samuel Johnson in describing Thrale's
brewery, it means for Southern Califor
nia, in the coming years, "wealth be
yond the dreams of avarice."
Italy has for years depended on tbe
exportation of oranges for much of ber
commerce. 'Aome yeara ago • table of
the exportation of that staple alone
from the 'three principal porta of Italy
amount f or the preceding ten years to
$20,00'j,000 annually. The porta were,
we ',iunk. Messina, Naples and Palermo.
T'je fact of the magnitude of the ex
portations is just as we have stated it.
A very usual thing has been to hear
some pessimist talk about the certainty
of overcrowding the orange market, and
thus lowering the price below the point
of profit. A fact such as that quoted
above from the experience of Italy does
not harmonize with this atrabilious view
of the future. In truth, it would be im
possible to overdo the orange market.
The demand is increasing steadily. Day
by day tbe American people are becom
ing more luxurious in their taßtes. The
orange, with the grape and the olive, is
admittedly tbe healthiest fruit in the
world. It is impossible to set a limit to
its consumption by a prosperous people
of near seventy millions, who will soon
be eighty millions, and who spend a dol
lar where the maesee of other nations
spend a dime.
Another factor to be taken into the
count in estimating the possibility of
the orange being overdone is the re
markably limited section of country
which is adapted to produce the oranite
in perfection, at least within the limits
of the United States. This is restricted
to a small portion of Florida and to cer
tain areas in Southern California. We
ought to remember, when we are
tempted to repine at an occasional visit
ation of the weather clerk, such as that
which curtailed our crop for a single
year, that in the very year of the New
Orleans exposition Florida was visited
by a frost so severe that it not only de
stroyed the crop for the current year,
but killed the trees themselves. Here
was the labor of years destroyed at a
blow, while in the late unpleasant ex
perience in Southern California not a
single mature orange tree was injured,
the only drawback in that line being
the destruction of a limited amount of
young nursery stock. Louisiana has
practically withdrawn from the cultiva
tion of the orange as a commercial prop
osition.
It is not a whit strained to say that
there is an imminent probability that,
in ten years from today, Southern Cali
fornia, that is to say Los Angeles and
San Bernardino counties mainly, will be
selling ten million dollars' worth of
oranges yearly, and that, in another
decade, this sum will have swollen to
twenty million dollars' worth. There
are twenty times as many potatoes
raised in the United States now as there
were fifty years ago, aud yet spuds
bring live times as much a bushel now
as they did then. The ability of the peo
ple to consume has been enormously
increased of late years. Luxuries have
become necessities. That oranges will
be sold at a less prion luan has prevailed
during the last four or five years may
be admitted, but they will still be im
mensely lucrative. As a matter of plain
[statement of fact mature trees, of «h6
\ varieties, especially the Washington
navel, yield from $500 to $1800 an acre.
In Eome instances even the latter figure
has been advanced upon, A drop in
this extravagant scale of profit can be
readily borne by horticulturists who do
| not want the earth.
From whatsoever point of view we re
gard the future of our citruß industry
the prospect is most roseate. The great
things we have outlined as sure to come
are only carrying out the achievements
of our orchardists. As to the immedi
ate market for our oranges, it is a per
fectly safe thing to predict that Chicago,
with its Columbian World's Fair, will
take our whole surplus during the com
ing year.
A DEEP-SEA HARBOR.
Whether the rumor that has reached
here to the effect that the board of en
gineers who visited Southern California
two months since to select a site for a
deep-sea harbor have determined to re
port favorably upon San Pedro, is true
or not, the grand fact remains that con
gress is committed to the construction
of a deep-sea harbor for Los Angeles.
This is made inevitable from the fact
that congreeß has appropriated several
millions to build a harbor for deep-sea
vessels at Galveston. The shortest rail
way route between ocean and ocean is
f.-om Los Angeles to Galveston, and the
money appropriated for the latter har
bor could only be made to subserve its
most useful possible purpose to com
merce by the construction of a corre
spondingly capacious harbor at Los
Angeleß.
As far as this city is concerned its in
terests will be equally as well subserved
at whatever point the projected harbor
is selected. Tbe main thing about
which we wish to be assured is tbe fact
that congress will make the appropria
tion, and as there seems to be very little)
doubt about that, the unlimited expan
sion of our maritime commerce is only a
question of a few years. It is very
likely that the Nicaragua canal will be
cut by the time we have secured the
projected harbor. This great enterprise
will bring Lob Angelea 11,000 miles
nearer to Europe by water than Bhe now
is, and that fact will cut an important
figure both in the settlement, growth
and commercial prosperity of our sec
tion.
Everything is operating favorably for
Los Angeleß. Her steady and rapid
growth is as certain as anything in the
future can be. In less than ten yearß
she will be one of the great cities of the
United States in population, wealth
and business.
With the removal of Mr. Harrison
from the white house in March next the
postal department will likewise be rid of
"Sunday School Jack," who will go
back to his little Philadelphia clothing
store.

CITY AND COUNTY.
The Result as Far as Known
Last Night.
A. Good Showing of Democratic
Gains.
Partial Counts show a Considerable
Republican Loss.
Returns Up to 1 O'clock This Morning.
Hervey l.ludley Nut in It— Demo
cratic Candidates Show
Up Well.
Election day dawned fair and clear in
Los Angeles. There was not a cloud in
the eky until the sun went down, while
the temperature was just crisp enough
to mnke it an ideal day.
It was a day calculated as iar as
weather went to bring out every voter
who could get to the polls, and the
heaviest vote ever cast in the city waß
the result.
The remarkable features about the
day w ere the early voting and the suc
cess of the Australian ballot system.
By 12 o'clock, and in come cases
earlier, every precinct showed that fully
two-thirds of the voters had deposited
their ballots.
There were no disturbances to amount
to anything and very little attempt at
illegal'voting.
Tne übiquitous voter of bygone dayß,
about whom it was said that be voted
early and often, was conspicuous from
hia absence, and the two thousand il
legally registered voters who have re
cently been treated to chunks of free
advertising, failed to materialize to any
appreciable extent.
The vote sailer and the vote buyer did
not attempt to Dutt their heads against
the law, and the still, small rubber
■tamps wagged busily in the hands of
the American citizen.
The situation from the standpoint of
the class of men who are not averse to
reaping a commercial advantage from
their votes, was crisply expressed by a
double-fisted specimen in the Thirty
fourth precinct of the Third ward, who
looked morosely and in silence at the
ballot box for several seconds, and sav
agely exclaimed : "Damn that box."
The great preparations made by Chief
Federal Supervisor Flint to catch a big
batch of crooked voters in his net no
doubt acted as a notice to quit, for they
did not attempt to vote.
The polls were opened in all the pre
cincts promptly on time at sunrise, and
in a large number the opening found
long lines of voters all ready with their
numbers. The polling places were gen
erally easy of access, and the voters
found very little difficulty in "catching
on" to tbe system.
The election boards were composed of
two judges, two inspectors, two ballot
clerk's and two clerks, and there were
two federal supervisors and two deputy
marshals at each poling place. The
formidable machinery proved very sim
ple in actmal use.
Armed with his great register number
and page, the voter presented himself
to the clerks, who quickly ascertained
his qualifications; the ballot clerks
handed him a ballot folded properly,
with which he retired to one of the lit
tle galvanized iron compartments and
worked the rubber stamp down the long
list of candidates. When finished, ho
presented the ballot, gave his name and
the ballot disappeared in the long slit
;on the upper edge of the cylindrical
! ballot box. It was aa easy as falling off
a log, and the pleased expression upon
tbe faces of the voters as they emerged
from the ordeal was amusing. It oc
curred to almost every voter to remark
upon the simplicity of the system as he
came out of the polling place.
But when he asked the old question,
"How is it going," no one could tell.
The booths effectually hid the secret of
how the votes were cast, and it was
only through the challenge lists of the
challengers, which were very complete,
and the men who claim to know every
man, that even a vague idea could be
foimed.
There were rumors during the day
that Hervey Lindley wbb being heavily
scratched in some of the precincts, anil
in others that the Populistß were voting
heavily, but no accurate idea could be
obtained from any oi the election
officers.
It waa also said that tbe liquor asso
ciation was "pulling" strongly for the
legislative and supervisorial tickets, and
that John Cline was being scratched by
disgruntled Republicans wbo have not
been satisfied with his record, and do
not wish to see him in the sheriff's
office.
When 'the polls closed at 5 o'clock it
was known that an exceedingly heavy
vote had been cast, but aa far ac any accu
rate estimate of the strength ot tbe can
didates, those who claimed to know were
drawing largely upon their imaginations
and groundless rumors.
The power of the Australian ballot
system to get at the true wishes of the
voters was demonstrated beyond a
shadow of a doubt, and nothing but
good words for it could be beard on all
sides. It struck such a fatal blow at the
unscrupulous politicians and bosses who
have heretofore been able to purchase
blocks of voters at so much a head, and
see that tbe property wae delivered, that
they actnally were not in it-
Late in tbe afternoon tbe polling
places were crowded with eager people
who were anxious to find out about the
result, but they were obliged to pocket
tbeir curiosity until the count had pro
gressed.
Today was exceptionally devoid of
scenes of excitement such as usually
characterize national elections, and few
incidents of even passing interest oc
curred throughout the city.
There were a number of challenges in
some of the precincts, and 11 persons
were arrested on a charge of illegal vot
ing. In six of these cases the parties
were released after investigation by
Supervisor Flint, it being clearly shown
that they were incorrectly registered,
but that the error was not theirs, and
that there was no intention of illegal
voting on their part.
AROUND THE CITY.
There were eight booths in Precinct
1 oi the First ward, and the ballot
waß steadily proceeded with during the
day. In all the precincts of the First
ward there were no attempts at illegal
voting. While there were one or two
cases of incorrect places of residence,
the votes were sworn in and no arrests
were made.
It had been anticipated that there
would be considerable fraud in the Sec
ond ward, but such proved not to be the
case. There were quite a number of
challenges at the different precincts, and
some little excitement, bat it soon
quieted down and there waa no trouble.
In the Forty-fourth precinct, Chris Han
sen was challenged, as be appeared on
the irreat register aa residing at Clare
mont. He proved that hia residence is
really in the city, his family having
lived here for several years, al
though he has a farm at Clare
mont. There wae considerable of a dis
cussion over the cane, but tbe ballot
waa finally admitted. In the Forty
third precinct, Mr. Erhardt nearly got
into trouble by trying to vote when he
had moved out of his precinct before the
election, to another precinct. He was
not allowed to vote. In this precinct
there were also quite a number of voters
who spoiled ballots and were supplied
with others, as by law provided.
In the Thirty-ninth precinct several
voters who had moved out of the pre
cinct after registering were challenged,
and failed to get in their ballots.
A curious case occurred in the Forty
first precinct when Frank Toal came up
to vote. He was challenged on the
ground that he had been a convict, and
served out his time. It was pretty weil
known that the challenge was a good
one, but the difficulty waß in getting two
reputable witnesses to awear to it, and
in not having a certified copy of the
record. After spending some time in
arguing the matter the judges allowed
Toal to vote.
The voting in the Third ward was con
ducted in a Sunday-like style in all tbe
precincts, and in all the precincts the
early voters were in great numbera. In
the Thirty-fourth precinct the federal
supervisors had only two names on their
list for whom they were laying, but
they did not show up. There was one
man who was reported as registered in
that precinct and as having voted in
another precinct, but he did not attempt
to get in another vote in the Thirty
fourth. _ There were some attempts at
voting in the several precincts by people
who had got into the wrong precinct,
but no arrests were made in any polling
place.
Considerable amusement by mistakes
of this nature was created in tbe Thir
ty-sixth and Thirty-seventh precincts oi
this ward. Tbe polling places were di
rectly opposite each other on Broadway,
between First and Second streets, and
a voter bad only to cross the street to
be in the wrong precinct. One well
known insurance man, who is keen and
bright as a new dollar, took his place
early in a long line before tbe polls in
the Thirty-sixth precinct, and edged up
little by little until he was nearly in
front of tbe clerk, when he heard some
one speaking of how nearly he had got
into the wrong precinct" across the
street. It suddenly occurred to him
that he himself waß on the wrong side of
the street. Not wishing to have the
laugh on himself, he quietly slipped out
of his place in the line which it had
taken him half an hour to reach and
hired some one to kick him. It took
bim one hour to get that ballot in the
box.
The Thirty-fifth precinct, at Hazard's
pavilion, wae one of the dreamiest poll
ing places in the city. The voters were
ali straight, and in tbe afternoon the
members of the election board had lots
of time to Bwap jokes and wonder how
many People's party ballots were in the
cylinder.
A (ierman who conld not speak Eng
lish and a blind voter caused a moment
ary ripple of interest in the Twenty-sixth
precinct of the Fourth ward, but beyond
that a few errors easily explained, there
were re matters of unueual interest. In
tbe Thirtieth precinct W. J. Feehan was
arrested by a United States deputy mar
shal. He liveß at 747 South Olive street,
and was registered as at 741 South Oliye
Btreet. He explained tbe mistake to the
satisfaction of Supervisor Flint, and
afterwards was released and allowed to
vote. In some of the precincts of the
Fourth ward there were several chal
lenges on account of voters removing
from the precinct after registration and
within 30 days before tbe election, and
they were refused permission to vote,
but there were no flagrant attempts at
illegal voting.
The voting in the Fifth ward waß
orderly as ÜBual and there were but few
challenges. There was a very large vote
act in the ward, and it kept ivp until
the hour for the closing of the polls.
In the Sixth ward the federal euper
l visors had just ono warrant for an illeg
ally registered voter but had no chance
Ito serve it. There were only a few chal
lenges during the entire day in the dif
ferent precincts.
There were several arrests in the
Seventh ward but the men were nearly
all released afterwards, it being satis
factorily shown that the errors on the
great register were unintentional on
their part. The voting in this ward waß
much freer from exciting scenes thsn
ever dreamed of before in the history of
that ward, but there were no fights or
disturbances.
In the Eighth ward Edward H. Mc-
Carthy waß arrested about an hour
after the polls opened. He was regis
tered from No. 150 North Main street, but
was found not to have lived there at any
time. He refused to be sworn ia.
Aside from several challenges in which
the votes were sworn in, there was little
interruption in the business of voting.
Voting in the Ninth ward was orderly
and there were no attempts at illegal
voting.
IN THE CITY.
The Returns as Far as Counted Last
Night.
The returns in this city came in very
slowly; at the hour of going to press in
many pretincts counting was still under
way. The indications are that the city
Republican majority has been greatly
reduced if not lost sight of entirely. The
final count may alter tbe prognostica
tion somewhat, but tbe following partial
returns taken up to 1 o'clock this morn
ing will give a fair idea of what the re
