The candidature of Hon. Henry T. Gage of Los Angeles for the Republican nomination for Governor of this State has awakened a degree of enthusiasm among Republicans of Southern California that augurs well for the ultimate attainment of his ambition to fill the office of Chief Magistracy of the commonwealth. Nor should the success of Mr. Gage imperil our chances of getting the United States Senatorhip for Southern California. We are of those Republicans who believe that a United States Senator should right remain one of the permanent political offices in Southern California; in other words, we believe we are entitled to one Senator from Southern California permanently; let the other Senator remain in the north. Moreover, we are of those who believe that the Governorship should come south each alternate term—we disagree entirely with the notion that the Governor should come forever from the north. The statement made that the Republicans of Southern California may have either the Senator or the Governor, comes from—whom? Who is there in the party to rise up and speak thus to us of Southern California? We are told that the Republican vote south of Tehachipi is but a fifth of the Republican vote of the State and that to ask for both offices would be more than our political station entitles us to. The Republicans of Southern California deny the right of their political brethren in the north to apportion the offices to which we are justly entitled upon a basis so unfair and illogical. Let us look into this matter for a moment. Take Alameda county, for example. It is clamoring for the Governorship; in fact has had two candidates up for the nomination to that office since the beginning of the year. It has already one United States Senator, besides the Secretary of State, one justice of the Supreme Court and two members of the Board of Harbor Commissioners, as well as a numerous following of minor appointees. Yet it polls less than one-twelfth of the Republican vote of the State. by Mr. Edelman, and they will later on withdraw, giving the places to the regular fusion nominees. It seems it was necessary in order to comply with the law to name a full State ticket, and those Democrats at home whose breath had been taken away at what seemed to be an impending disaster to the plan of fusion breathe easier now that the delegates have returned and explained matters and quieted their fears. How the bolt of the middle-of-the-road Populists will affect the fusion program remains to be seen. Mr. Edelman adds that his chances for the Democratic nomination for State Treasurer are first-class. Bro. Baker meantime seems also to be in the running for Lieutenant-Governor. A COURAGEOUS OFFICIAL. The Notable Record of Orange County's Popular Sheriff. Among the candidates now before the people asking their suffrages for office none are entitled to more respectful consideration, nor to the support of all voters irrespective of party, than the present popular Sheriff of the county, Joseph C. Nichols, whose record furnishes a list of captured criminals that is second to that of no officer in Southern California. Mr. Nichols comes naturally by his instincts as a peace officer and capturer of desperate men—it was born in him. He knows every criminal in the country, and in his cabinet of photographic celebrities on display at his office, has the counterfeit presentments of 600 noted criminals who have operated in the State during recent years. It is a notable fact that out of 41 convicts sent to State Prison from Orange county since the organization of the county, Sheriff Nichols has himself arrested and transported 23. Probably the most noted criminal ever captured in Orange county was A. W. Butler, a noted crook, stage robber and postoffice burglar, who was sent to San Quentin Nov. 19, 1897, to serve 8 years for horse stealing. Butler stole two horses from W. N. Tedford of Newport, and skipped into Central California. After following him about from place to place, only to find that the elusive criminal had succeeded in keeping clear of the meshes of the law, Nichols attempted his capture by strategy. Butler was known to be in hiding at San Luis Obispo county. A decoy registered letter was sent to him at that place, which being uncalled for, was advertised in the list of letters remaining in the Postoffice. Butler, Novelty dress goods... Fine Henriettas... All-wool serges... Jamestown Mohairs... Jamestown Mohairs... The Republican State convention has been called to meet at Sacramento on Tuesday, August 23d. Orange county is entitled 11 delegates. We have a note from Charles Edel It is clamoring for the Governorship; in fact has had two candidates up for the nomination to that office since the beginning of the year. It has already one United States Senator, besides the Secretary of State, one justice of the Supreme Court and two members of the Board of Harbor Commissioners, as well as a numerous following of minor appointees. Yet it polls less than one-twelfth of the Republican vote of the State. The sight for the nomination for the Governorship now seems to lie between Gage and Pardee, of Oakland. Should those apposed to Gage succeed in defeating him, and thus throw the nomination to Pardee, Alameda county will have six state officials upon a basis of less than 8 per cent of the party vote in the State, while we who are "south of the Tehachipi," polling as we do more than 20 per cent of the entire Republican vote of the State, are denied the Governorship, because, forsooth, it might imperil our chances of receiving the Senatorship! But we of Southern California deny the right of our northern brethren to parcel us off as being "south of the Tehachepi." Is everything north of the Tehachepi to be considered as Northern California, and only that part of the State south of the range to be Southern California? Or is a dividing line drawn equidistant north and south between the two sections, more in harmony with justice and fair dealing, to designate this political subdivision—which has been brought into the discussion by interested parties north and south, but which is repugnant to fair-minded Republicans the State over? Henry Gage, if elected Governor, will not represent the south alone. He will be tall enough to look over the Tehachepi. He will be a Governor of California knowing no north, no south, but for the whole people, for the whole State, and every portion of it. If, however, we are asking too much in claiming the Governor and Senator, what about Alameda county, which having more offices than all of Southern California combined, with less than a third of our vote, is lustily clamoring for the Governor also? Let us be fair about these things. Again, from a party standpoint, the Governorship is incomparably of more advantage to the party than the Senatorship. The patronage of the former exceeds that of the latter by about 50 to 1. But it is not from this standpoint that we desire to present the claims of our Los Angeles friend. Henry Gage stands at the head of the California bar. He is a representative citizen, and will make an upright and courageous public official. Southern California is entitled to the Governorship, and Henry Gage is the man to receive the Republican nomination. Probably the most noted criminal ever captured in Orange county was A. W. Butler, a noted crook, stage robber and postoffice burglar, who was sent to San Quentin Nov. 19, 1897, to serve 8 years for horse stealing. Butler stole two horses from W. N. Tedford of Newport, and skipped into Central California. After following him about from place to place, only to find that the elusive criminal had succeeded in keeping clear of the meshes of the law, Nichols attempted his capture by strategy. Butler was known to be hiding at San Luis Obispo county. A decoy registered letter was sent to him at that place, which being uncalled for, was advertised in the list of letters remaining in the Postoffice. Butler, who in the meantime had gone to Tulare, rode from that place to San Luis Obispo, a distance of 75 miles, and on asking for the letter was immediately placed under arrest and brought to Orange county, where he was tried, convicted and sentenced to prison. Butler declares that Nichols "jobbed" him, by means of the decoy letter, else, he avers, he never would have been arrested. Another noted arrest was that of Edward Thomas Cunningham, an Eastern crook, who was sent to San Quentin on March 22, 1895, for 5 years for robbing the Catholic priest at Santa Ana. C. B. Barnes, the Ontario bank robber, was followed by Sheriff Nichols through Orange county to Los Angeles, and located in his room in that city. He was arrested by Nichols and Los Angeles police officers, and $2800 of the stolen money recovered. Barnes went to San Quentin for 6 years. Charley Funk, the burglar, well-known hereabouts, was run down by Nichols in December, 1896, and sentenced to San Quentin Jan. 2, 1897 for 8 years on two counts for burglary. Funk robbed the dryer and Santa Fe depot here, making away with a quantity of walnuts and dried fruits; he burglarized John Hartung's house one evening while the family were away, and committed numerous other petty burglaries hereabout. He is safely out of harm's way, but is now trying to get out on parole. Edwin F. Green, the rape fiend, was cleverly captured in Los Angeles, and May 12, 1897, was sentenced to San Quentin for 10 years. Green raped a little girl living in his family, and skipped to Los Angeles, but was cleverly overhauled, convicted and sent to prison. Antonio Saccocia was guilty of the most cold-blooded murder ever committed in Orange county. He cut Pete Julian to pieces at Newport, after a drunken carousel, and was captured, and convicted, and on Aug. 7, 1896, was sentenced to San Quentin for life imprisonment. Julian Berdugo, who murdered one Sepulveda at Santa Ana, was arrested and on June 26, 1896, was sentenced to San Quentin for 15 years. Ching Quey, the only Chinaman ever sent to prison from Orange county, was arrested for assaulting another Chinman and sentenced to Folsom prison for 2 years. One of the most notable arrests made by Sheriff Nichols was that of John A. Hogan, who is charged with robbing the Newport postoffice on the night of May 27th last, getting away with $500. Hogan is undoubtedly a member of the gang of postoffice burglar who have been operating in Southern California for some years past, and the fact that he is known to have been in Anaheim and Fullerton some days before the Newport burglary, impairs a distinctly agreeable relish to his arrest. Evidence against Hogan is strong, and he will without doubt "do time" for his felonious act. He is now in the county jail awaiting trial.

Henry Gage stands at the head of the California bar. He is a representative citizen, and will make an upright and courageous public official. Southern California is entitled to the Governorship, and Henry Gage is the man to receive the Republican nomination. The Republican State convention has been called to meet at Sacramento on Tuesday, August 23d. Orange county is entitled 11 delegates. We have a note from Charles Edelman of Orange bringing the information that those nominations made by the Populist State Convention that were not in harmony with the plans of fusion entered into by the Democrats. Silver Republicans and Populists, are only temporary, and will be withdrawn later, to make way for the regular fusion nominees. The allotments of the offices, according to Mr. Edelman, have been made upon the following basis: The Democrats nominate the Governor, Secretary of State, Treasurer, Surveyor-General, Attorney-General, State Printer, two members of the Board of Equalization, two Railroad Commissioners, one Supreme Justice and four Congressmen-in-the-First Second. Third and Fourth districts. The Populists nominate the Lieutenant-Governor, Controller, Superintendent of Public Instruction, one Railroad Commissioner, one member of the Board of Equalization and the Congressmen in the Sixth and Seventh districts. The Silver Republicans are allotted the Clerk of the Supreme Court and one Supreme Judge. The Populist Convention which met at Sacramento two weeks ago nominated Maguire for Governor, and also placed in nomination a full set of State officers. The convention that nominated Maguire also nominated a full set of State officers, including those allotted to the Democrats and Silver Republicans. These are the nominations referred to One of the most notable arrests made by Sheriff Nichols was that of John A. Hogan, who is charged with robbing the Newport postoffice on the night of May 27th last, getting away with $500. Hogan is undoubtedly a member of the gang of postoffice burglars who have been operating in Southern California for some years past, and the fact that he is known to have been in Anaheim and Fullerton some days before the Newport burglary, imparts a distinctly agreeable relict to his arrest. Evidence against Hogan is strong, and he will without doubt "do time" for his felonious act. He is now in the county jail awaiting trial. One of the cleverest captures ever effected by the Sheriff was that of a young man who embezzled a large amount from his employer in Los Angeles, a few years ago. Sheriff Nichols was on his way to Fresno after a man for forgery, when as he arrived at Mojave he was telegraphed to by the Los Angeles police to look out for the embezzler, who was thought to be on the train. Nichols sized up his man without much difficulty, and arranged with the porter of the Pullman to allot to him the same berth occupied by the man he was looking for, and to say to the latter that owing to the overcrowded condition of the car, he would have to "double up" for the night. Nichols shortly after crept into bed with the embezzler, and soon struck up a conversation with him. He was sure of his man, and at the breakfast table the next morning placed him under arrest. A search of the embezzler was made, and the stolen funds recovered. Arriving at Fresno, Nichols collared his forger, and returned with both prisoners on the next train to Los Angeles, where the embezzler was convicted and sentenced to State Prison. The forger was brought back to Orange county, was convicted and also sent up. There are countless other arrests to the credit of Sheriff Nichols, among them William Schuh, who burglarized the Orangethope and Placentia school-houses, along with his brother Fred Schuh, and another boy, all of whom were convicted and sentenced to San Quentin on November 18, 1895, for terms of 24 years. Sheriff Nichols is regarded among the peace officers of Southern California as being especially well qualified to fill the duties of his office. His record stands out equal to that of the most valorous official in the State, and we commend his candidature to the voters of this vicinity as an upright and conscientious official, whose past record richly entitles him to re-election to the office he now so ably fills.

A tragedy occurred at Lemon, ten miles west of Pomona, early on Saturday morning, wherein Santiago A. Martinez shot and killed his cousin, Santiago Locario Martinez. About 4:30 Saturday morning the former heard a noise in the adjoining room of his dwelling and called out: "Who is there?" An instant he was shot at twice, both bullets passing dangerously near his head. He fired his shotgun in the direction whence the shots came, and following up this fusillade with three shots from a revolver, killed the intruder instantly. Constable Slanker found the dead man doubled up in a wood box by the kitchen stove, where he had fallen, and a revolver, with two chambers empty, was close to his right hand. The shot fired from the gun had hit him squarely in the stomach, causing instant breath. Domestic troubles are at the bottom of the affair, and a woman is usual, is the cause of the tragedy. The young cousin, 24 years of age, had taken up his abode with S. A. Martinez's life during his absence at work at Los Alamitos. The husband returned unexpectedly on the night of June 24, and found, on approaching the house, unmistakable signs of the presence of the young paramour. His boots were on the porch. Not being armed, he decided to knock boldly at the door and take his chances in a rough and tumble night. He met his man in the kitchen, and a lively encounter followed. The youthful intruder soon retreated. The next day the husband swore out a warrant against him and had him arrested for disturbing the peace, this being as far as the actual evidence in the case would permit the charge to go. The young Lothario was convicted and sentenced to twenty days and to pay a fine of $25. Through habeas corpus proceedings he managed to get out of jail in a few days. Whether the young fellow was seeking revenge for this or thought the husband to be again absent is not known. A coroner's inquiry found that the husband’s action was justifiable homicide. French Ambassador, the following official statement was issued from the White House: "The French Ambassador, on behalf of the government of Spain and by direction of the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, presented the President this afternoon at the White House a message from the Spanish government looking to the termination of the war and the settlement of the terms of peace." Shortly before midnight last night a dispatch to the French embassy made it known to the embassy that the Ambassador would be charged with the important mission of opening peace negotiations on behalf of Spain. The complete instructions, including an official letter from Duke Almodovar de Rio, Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, were received this morning. Thereupon M. Thiebault, first secretary of the embassy, called at the State Department and asked that an hour be appointed for a call by Ambassador Cambon on the President. The purpose of the call was not stated. It was arranged at the White House that the call should be made at 3 o'clock. The communication did not suggest any specific terms of peace. The evident intention of the authorities at Madrid was to learn whether the United States would treat on the subject of peace. Neither was there any suggestion from the Spanish government that an armistice be established pending the negotiations. It is quite probable that pending peace negotiations a cessation of hostilities will occur. A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E.

WASHINGTON, July 26.—The Spanish government has sued for peace, not indirectly through the great powers of Europe, but by direct appeal to President McKinley. The proposition was formally submitted to the President at 3 o'clock this afternoon by the French Ambassador, M.

My husband was advised to get Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. I gave it a trial, took in all eight bottles, It has cured me, and thank God I am saved and now a well and healthy woman." Trial bottles free at P. A. Derge's drug store. Regular size 50c and $1. Guaranteed or price refunded. Bert Elliott was taken to Los Angeles yesterday to submit to an operation for appendicitis. He was some weeks ago seriously ill with the complaint, but had recovered sufficiently to be about again, and it was thought he was on the road to complete recovery. On Tuesday evening he was taken with pains in the bowels, the disease having reasserted itself, and an operation was decided upon. The operation was performed yesterday, the attending physician stating that had it been deferred for two days longer there would have been slight chance of saving the patient's life. Herman Dickel accompanied Elliott to Los Angeles. Herman Backs is filling his place in Dickel's establishment. The Sure La Grippe Cure.
