Southern California SATURDAY ... NOV. 2 FOR CONGRESS. FOURTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. E J. C. KEWEN, OF LOS ANGELES. Greecey or Grant? shall we vote for either? Also, which? To day, thousands of Americans are asking themselves these questions, and those thousands find no answer; to such these few remarks are addressed. Let us first dispose of the question; "Shall I vote for either?" Shew me the man who does not care to or will not vote, and I will shew you a man who is so imbecile in mind that he needs some one to direct his vote; or, what is more likely, I will shew you a man who should find no home in the land—the worthless, bad citizen. The man who belongs to no organization for public benefit—the man who shirks jury duty, even though he may have to pay for so doing—the man who pretends indifference to all issues of public interest—the creature who reluctantly pays his taxes—this, as a rule, is the type of man who will vote for no candidate and so adds one more to his many omissions of the slave alone, classed him with Lincoln and Washington, and in his day, Mr. Greeley has done far more than any living public man for public good. People say that Greeley has become a Secessionist." The man who talks of "Secession" sincerely in 1872, with my knightage of the real attitude and state of the South, is to be laughed at. He who advances arguments against Mr. Greeley's political creed should carefully read his campaign speeches and read them understandingly, and he will find in them no thought ever unworthy of a loyal honest American. What is Grant pledged to? Office holders, Tom Murphy's—Long Branch Vacations—Ruining the National Honour and Credit and the like. What is Greecey pledged to? The Platform of the Cincinnati Convention. Impartial administration of the Trusts given him—at least to an attempt to lend dignity to his office. Pledged to the sentiment of his past life and record, and to civil service reform. To-day America has no more vital question than this—shall we be ruled and driven by one incompetent ex-army-officer at Washington in our every step, and by his corrupt banditti, called officeholders, or shall we have a true civil service, bravely carried out by the American who has done more to advance civil service than any other, and who is of such character than he will not soil himself by intercourse with the corrupt official... who should and no home in the land—the worthless, bad citizen. The man who belongs to no organization for public benefit—the man who shirks jury duty, even though he may have to pay for so doing—the man who pretends indifference to all issues of public interest—the creature who reluctantly pays his taxes—this, as a rule, is the type of man who will vote for no candidate and so adds one more to his many omissions of duty as a true citizen. Every honest citizen, who has the right, should vote any cost—at any amount of inconvenience to himself. The man who has the right and will not excercise it, let him be avoided, socially, politically in every way. Some may say, I cannot decide! Let these carefully consider the relative characters, lives and future prospects of the respective candidates. Let them weigh the respective merits of the platforms on which these candidates stand and then sustain him whom they conscientiously believe they can best support. The next question is; "Which shall I vote for, Grant or Greeley? The honest man needs only to be referred to facts. In my own case, the question never arose; I believe the best representative the American people can have is Mr. Greeley. Why should I choose him? Let us see what Gen. Grant is and what he has done to recommend himself. He is called a great general, the man who crushed the rebellion. Through the late war, I was a staunch Union man, entertaining ultra Northern views, yet in Gen. Grant's being the fortunate victor of Gen. Lee, before Richmond, I saw no striking illustration of military genius. He was the leader of brave men. The rebellion ended. At that time a great election was imminent. What better way for a people to express their gratitude to their general then in tendering him the highest honour in their gift. They did so. He was genuinely the choice of the American people. The Republican party went through the form of nominating him, yet all admitted that he was no politican, simply the popular candidate of the people. As Mr Greeley is no turn coat. He simply represents the ultra progressive party of America, the liberal Republican the Democratic Republican in its liberal sense, Republican Government with equality to all. Democratic Speaking. Col. E J C Kewen, the well-known and brilliant orator, and Candidate for Congress from this district, on the Democratic and Liberal Republican tickets will dress the people of Anaheim this evening on the stirring political issue of the day. Let him have a reception worthy of the occasion, worthy of the orator who speaks, and of the great principles of which he is one of the chief expents. Meeting Last Night. A grand mass Railroad meeting is in progress at the Planters' as we go to press. Messrs Don Juan Forster, Gen Howard, Gen W Barto and H T Hazard are the speakers. Deeds Filed. H. D.

What better way for a people to express their gratitude to their general then in tendering him the highest honour in their gift. They did so. He was genuinely the choice of the American people. The Republican party went through the form of nominating him, yet all admitted that he was no politician, simply the popular candidate of the people. As a statesman he is a failure. His administration has accomplished nothing save the one fact, which his adherents use as their winning card. "The reduction of the public debt." A true American feels this reduction to proclaim national disgrace for the Administration Canvasser neglects to add. "We have ground these millions out of the people, who lent us their blood and money which builted the debt, and to-day, years after the war, the American people endure a war taxation A soldier or statesman, no earnest man can favor Grant, yet another charge remains, much more to his harm. His failure we could overlook, but the insults which he has offered to the people in his connections with "Military" or "Rings" must astrange him forever from any one who values his reputation as an honest man. Noman who regards his good name can vote for Gea. Grant. What has he to turn to? Horace Greeley. To-day no man in America has attained the place which history must give Mr. Greeley as a great and good man. None question his honesty, none deny the greatness of his works.

DIED. On the 29th ult., at Wilmington, MAUARY, daughter of E. E. and Susan Hawitt, aged three years and nine months. In Anaheim, Wednesday morning, October 30th, 1872, from the effects of an operation of laryngotomy, KATIE daughter of Robert and Katharina Menzel, aged two years, 1 month and 25 days. Little Katie was an amiable and intelligent child, the beloved of all who knew her. The mournful story of her decease is well known to most of those who will read these lines. She unfortunately had a grain of corn lodged in the trachae several weeks ago. The best of medical skill was resorted to and an operation performed by which the obstruction was removed: the strength of the little innocent was not however equal to the task of recuperation and she gradually sank away until she has at last gone to join the countless other treasures which we who are mortal are ever called upon to lay up in the Lord's keeping, only a little in advance of our own coming. The sympathy and condolence of the entire community are extended to the bereaved parents. BOOK: In Anaheim, October 27, to the wife of Mr, T, Booge, a daughter. CREELEY & BROWN CLUB!
