ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1860 Editorial Note and Comment "You are away off your base in imputing to Z. B. West the odium of fastening Crawford upon Orange county," said a well-known Santa Ana man in town the other day. "True, he had a hand in the melee, but he was not the only one. Every office-seeker at Santa Ana (and the woods is full of 'em) is a Crawford man from the soles of his big feet to the crown of his little head. The executive committee of the Republican county central committee met the other day, so I hear, and voted 12 to 5 to Crawford it through the campaign or bust a trace. Of the 12, the bulk of them were from Santa Ana, or persons under control of the courthouse push. A proxy was read from Jennings, the quondam Anaheim committeeman, who is now in Sonoma county holding down a situation in the home for feeble-minded children, and who left Orange county leaving a lot of mourning creditors behind him. He had no more right to a vote in that meeting than a man in Timbuctoo, yet he bad the nerve to send his proxy, and it was voted by Hart of Orange, who is for Crawford because Armor is agin it. These courthouse fellows were so frightened about what the country Republicans would do to Crawford that they sent for this dead man's proxy and voted it; while as a matter of fact, as I am informed, every man, woman and child in Anaheim is down on Crawford with both feet. "West helped engineer the job. He is for Crawford, as you say, be this fuss and feathers be on election day? There will be a dozen offices to fill, and Santa Ana has this minute candidates for every single office on the list. What will be the result if all these fellows are nominated? Will you pumpkin-rollers support them? You bet you will! You don't bolt the ticket. We have a cinch. We'll give you the men to vote for and you'll roll up the customary majorities. "Don't say anything about this. Now, let me tell you, West is not the only Crawford shouter over our way. Every man out for an office is with him body and soul, and they are all shouting for it to beat the band." And he touched up his nag and started homeward. Turning in his seat when a few rods off he called: "Say, won't that be a peacherino of a ticket, with nothing but Santa Ana candidates on it? Wouldn't it jar you?" Well, maybe it will. "Doe on my skin," said a man in from the oil wells, "if them dodgasted Supervisors hain't put us in the Orange district. We don't belong there, didn't want to go there, and it goes agin the grain for the Supervisors, not one of whom has ever been up our way and seen the improvement made there the last two years, to put us in a district across the river. What are we going to do whenever we want any work done on our roads? Go over to Orange to see a man who has no interest in our section of country! We believe in home rule, and this thing of cutting us off the Third district and putting us in the Orange district goes against the grain—it goes against the grain." had the nerve to send his proxy, and it was voted by Hart of Orange, who is for Crawford because Armor is agin it. These courthouse fellows were so frightened about what the country Republicans would do to Crawford that they sent for this dead man's proxy and voted it; while as a matter of fact, as I am informed, every man, woman and child in Anaheim is down on Crawford with both feet. "West helped engineer the job. He is for Crawford, as you say, because he knows full well he stands no ghost of a show to get a nomination for dog pelter before a delegate convention, but he may have a whirl at the superior judgeship under the Crafword lay-out. "But give the devil his clues. West is not the only Crawford man at Santa Ana. Every office-seeker, every man holding down a situation in the courthouse, every man who expects a deputyship there, is a Crawford shouter from away back. There is Beckett, Scott, Greeley, Vegeley, Hall, Ballard, Nichols, Williams, Langley, Petey Peters, and all the rest of them—every last mother's son of them is for Crawford first, last and all the time. "These chaps are for Crawford because it gives the county-seat push a cinch on the nominations—that's why they are for Crawford. It is not West alone, you see, but all these fellows who are doing it. "To be sure, West started the fun. He is for Crawford because it furnishes him the only show of getting a nomination; the others are for it because—well, to tell the truth, many of them are in the same boat. "But irony has sometimes a strange fate in store for some, and I believe all of these fellows have the call on the nomination, except West. The party won't stomach him. He has had his share of the honors, and I remember, not so many years ago, hearing him speak for the Democratic party in this county. He stumped the county for the Democracy, and since his conversion, in the Estee campaign, has sought office in every convention the party has ever held. "I believe that Beckett has the call on nomination for County Clerk, but that he has weakened himself by knuckling down to Crawford, when he might have had the county solid back of him if he had fought shy of these gangsters who are sweating blood to get an office. "Vegeley is out for Assessor again, because, while he came near being defeated in the last convention, and would have no show in the next, yet under the protecting wing of Crawford goes again the grain for the supervisors, not one of whom has ever been up our way and seen the improvement made there the last two years, to put us in a district across the river. What are we going to do whenever we want any work done on our roads? Go over to Orange to see a man who has no interest in our section of country! We believe in home rule, and this thing of cutting us off the Third district and putting us in the Orange district goes against the grain—it goes against the grain." It simply shows how much more rapidly the country this side the river is growing than that on the other side, even though they have the county-seat and Carnegie library. So we informed him. But the oil wells, we added, are not alone in their sorrow. Yorba and Olive are in the same boat. All need not be strangers to the oil-drillers in future supervisor conventions—there will be Pap Barker of Olive and Judge Marquez of Yorba there with out-stretched hand to greet them. It will not be so bad. The Supervisors have a knack of making things stick' and we must all bear it, even though we harbor nary a grin. However only part of the oil district has been changed to the Orange district—the eastern part of it, or that portion which is in the Yorba precinct. The Supervisors wanted to place Placentia precinct in the Orange district, but were deterred from so doing by the protests of C. C. Chapman, Wm. Crowther, W. L. Hale and others. On a basis of population, the Third Supervisor district has, even with Olive and Yorba cut out of it, an excess of 200 votes as it stands. With Placentia and the oil wells proper set over in the Orange district the voting strength of all districts would be evened up. But we can't spare 'em. Still the purpose of the Supervisors originally to cut them out shows with what strides this district has been going ahead of late. And it will keep growing at a more accelerated velocity year after year. The State campaign is closely linked with the congressional fights. The Sixth district is the only one which the Democrats have any serious hopes of capturing. There Judge William Conley, who was defeated in 1898 for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, will be put up against Congressman Needham. As Conley carried every county in the district in 1898, his total majority in these counties amounting to 5000, his friends are confident he can be elected. Kelly wanted Lynch's lector of Internal Revenue Francisco, and I believed bug in Caldwell's ear long before he forced nomination upon the co-State Senator. The cat is out of the reference to that county many things which we paradoxical a year ago as the sunlight which he San Gorgonio hilted Daniels—who still bears the indentation on his Cash Harvey sat upon it because he (Daniels) said derogatory of Senator that cent-a-pound-city blowout at Riverside so-tried to bind Caldwell port of Perkins for re-introduced a resolution fact. But some delegation—I don't just nor who it was—who had against Perkins, jumped resolution with his t Daniels withdrew it. "Now, you see," said er to me in Los Angeles day, "Daniels knew Stroped in Caldwell—mind reader, didn't you and he knew the organ would never stand for into Lynch's place—knew what the play gets even with Perkin I couldn't imagine what at the time, but it is al now. "Perkins and Kelly two in a bed before thly got everything he Perkins up to that miels helped him on to and the result was bown flat. Now, Kek things about Perkins Fadden, Kelly's empl ober day at Santa An had deceived him so care whether he was r ed States Senator or m "It's a pretty fight it. We have brought Riverside to recover on county division, and that Steve Kelly can "Say, Daniels read other day about that boloing him at Ne he said,'all bosh!" Be he didn't get the ne he!" "I believe that Beckett has the call on nomination for County Clerk, but that he has weakened himself by knuckling down to Crawford, when he might have had the county solid back of him if he had fought shy of these gangsters who are sweating blood to get an office. "Vegeley is out for Assessor again, because, while he came near being defeated in the last convention, and would have no show in the next, yet under the protecting wing of Crawford he would defeat any outsider who dare rise up to contest the nomination with him. 'Hall has a cinch under Crawford, although many think the Captain has had his full share of the loaves and fishes. He has been Auditor for so long I can't remember who else ever held the office since the organization of the county. But he yearns for more, and under Crawford has a walkover. "Then there are Williams and Langely for District Attorney, Roper and I don't know how many others for Treasurer, Nichols and Snover for Sheriff, and forty others whose names I can't call this minute. Every one of them is beating the woods for votes this very minute. "And what will the result of all Drying preparations simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions, which adhere to the membrane and decompose, causing a far more serious trouble than the ordinary form of catarrh.

Otis fancy-step cake-wall hair and shouting: "...that to Paralel, in the last State council largely owed his nomination. Inasmuch as the rebel was nowheres by Rubicon about the convention, his lack concerning matters attends a measure pardonable I been telling him Pardee's withdrawal the facts (1) that he of getting the nomber he never was within nomination, and (2) himself from the heat by sidestepping which he was never good order? Why in this infamy? taught better man good, Colonel, and again, for 'tain't tauty boys that tell lie" George F. Hattie cisco has been in the interests of Senator Perkins, ww election to the United Perkins is understood the aid of Jeems M however, never am save as it was oper Cruz, Stanislaus, Tulare, Tuolumne and Ventura counties. The position pays $4,000 a year and traveling expenses. The board consists of three members. Those San Bernardino and Riverside fellows are at each other's throats continually. Since county division time, the two counties have been at daggers' points one with the other all the time. In the old senatorial district, embracing them with Orange county, the two rival delegations used to arrive at the conventions with shelalehs out, and each was jolly good and ready to thump the other fellow's head at the first opportunity. At the last convention, at Riverside last summer, San Bernardino forced the nomination of Caldwell, when the Riverside delegates were for George Frost. This gentleman the San Berdoo boys wouldn't have, and I believe Steve Kelly whispered a love song in Caldwell's ear long before the Riversiders laid down to the big county to the north of them. Caldwell, it seems, was present at a subsequent conference with Senator Perkins, when Johnny Lynch of Cucamonga was on the griddle. Kelly wanted Lynch's place as Collector of Internal Revenue at San Francisco, and I believe he put a bug in Caldwell's ear to this effect long before he forced the latter's nomination upon the convention for State Senator. The cat is out of the bag with reference to that convention, and many things which were seemingly paradoxical a year ago are now clear as the sunlight which breaks in o'er the San Gorgonio hilltops. Deacon by the work of others who will no more do his bidding. That McFadden was ever faithful to Perkins is known of all men. He subjugated everything in Orange county to him. He cared not a rap about other matters, and took little if any active interest in fights for county office. It was Perkins with him to the exclusion of all the rest. I wonder what George said to Jeems? My friend Dan Baker, coughing up a piece of his cancer and expectorating it out upon the sidewalk, ejaculates that I am a "fellow" and that I am "not posted" on the political situation in this county. Mebbe not. But I'll bet I know as much as he did about the same thing the time he was foolish enough to consider himself a candidate for Lieutenant Governor, and Charley Edelman kissed him off. Did you ever hear of that story? I'll have to tell you about it some time. It's a good one. Brief Mention of Minor Events R. J. Northam has sold ten acres o land near Bolsa Chica bay to the West Coast Land and Water Company for $1800. The engagement of E. E. Rogers of the Rogers-Lathrop Company of Fullerton and Miss E. Hamlin of Pomona is announced. Mr. Cargill and daughters have taken rooms with Mrs. Robison on Lemon street, and will make this city their home in the future. Mr. And Mrs. Turk and young son have gone to Chino, where Mr. Turk has resumed his position as head chemist in the sugar factory. THIS WAS A HOT OLD POKER GAME Man Raked in the Pot With Four Aces and a Pair of Queens. They were talking about poker games, when one of them told the story of the man who lost the pot while holding four aces and a king—the other fellow held four aces and a pair of queens! Strangest of all the man with six cards raked in the pot without objection, while the other chap scratched his head and wondered how it happened that his big hands were always beaten! The game was a social one for past-time's sake, and the stakes were lemonade and cigars. There were six at table, five fairly expert players and one—the man who lost the big hand—a tenderfoot who wanted to learn the game. He learned it. They played for an hour or so, and the newcomer was "elected" for the refreshments every time. His "full house" was overtopped by "fours," and once when he had four fives the other fellow happened luckily to hold five fives. So it went on until the sport grew fast and furious. The newcomer was learning the game so fast that he proposed to have a last game for supper for the crowd. He had become so wrapped up in his wonderful hands that when some of the wicked sports passed aces and kings across the table from one player to another, he heeded it not, but was lost in contemplation of the magnitude of his magnificent hands, which he scrutinized with the eye of an expert. At last he stood pat with a hand containing four aces and a king. The game was to be for six suppers. All were out except the man who didn't quite savvy the game and another gentleman who learned the game in the Bluegrass State. He held four aces and a pair of queens! How came eight aces in the deck, and how came he to hold six cards? That is another story. The reporter doesn't know anything about that. Perhaps it did seem strange. Oh I've got you beat this trip sure!" Kelly wanted Lynch's place as Collector of Internal Revenue at San Francisco, and I believe he put a bug in Caldwell's ear to this effect long before he forced the latter's nomination upon the convention for State Senator. The cat is out of the bag with reference to that convention, and many things which were seemingly paradoxical a year ago are now clear as the sunlight which breaks in o'er the San Gorgonio hilltops. Deacon Daniels—who still bears the scars of the indentation on his neck where Cash Harvey sat upon it at Newport, because he (Daniels) said something derogatory of Senzor Perkins at that cent—a-pound-citrus-schedule blowout at Riverside some years ago—tried to bind Caldwell to the support of Perkins for re-election, and introduced a resolution to that effect. But some delegate in the convention—I don't just now remember who it was—who had a grievance against Perkins, jumped upon the resolution with his two feet, and Daniels withdrew it. "Now, you see," said a Riversider to me in Los Angeles the other day, "Daniels knew Steve Kelly had roped in Caldwell—Daniels is a mind-reader, didn't you know it?—and he knew the organization boys would never stand for Kelly's going into Lynch's place—see? Daniels knew what the play was, and he gets even with Perkins in this way. I couldn't imagine what he was after at the time, but it is all plain to me now. "Perkins and Kelly were thicker'n two in a bed before that time. Kelly got everything he wanted from Perkins up to that moment. Daniels helped him on to ask too much, and the result was he was turned down flat. Now, Kelly is saying things about Perkins, and Jim McFadden, Kelly's employer, said the other day at Santa Ana that Perkins had deceived him so often he didn't care whether he was re-elected United States Senator or not. "It's a pretty fight and I'm not in it. We have brought suit against Riverside to recover $16,000 due us on county division, and if we can get that Steve Kelly can go to blazes. "Say, Daniels read your article the other day about that man Harvey boloring him at Newport. 'Bosh!' he said, 'all bosh!' But all the same he didn't get the nomination, did he!" Here's Col. Otis again, doing a fancy-step cake-walk, pulling his hair and shouting: R. J. Northam has sold ten acres o land near Bolaa Chica bay to the West Coast Land and Water Company for $1800. The engagement of E. E. Rogers of the Rogers-Lathrop Company of Fullerton and Miss E. Hamlin of Pomona is announced.

Perkins, he raises roses in California and ships them East. E. A. Honey of Orange will leave soon for an extended trip through Cuba and Porto Rico for the purpose of acquiring the status of the bee business in those countries. He has 100 stands of bees in the Santiago canyon, which he will move to Ventura unless it rains. John A. Muir, division superintendent of the Southern Pacific, has resigned his office, after twenty years' service with that company, and will become general manager of the Los Angeles Railway Company. The new interurban lines will demand all the attention of Epes Randolph, whom he succeeds, who will become general superintendent of the Pacific Electric Company. His salary is $12,000 per year. Four generations participated in observing the fiftieth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. John Hanna of Miraflores Monday week. The gathering was limited to immediate members of the family.

"Say, Daniels read your article the other day about that man Harvey boloing him at Newport. 'Bosh!' he said, 'all bosh!' But all the same he didn't get the nomination, did he?" Here's Col. Otis again, doing a fancy-step cake-walk, pulling his hair and shouting: "...that to Pardee's withdrawal, in the last State convention, Gage largely owed his nomination." Inasmuch as the redoubtable Colonel was nowheres but crossing the Rubicon about the time of the State convention, his lack of wisdom concerning matters attendant there is in a measure pardonable; but haven't I been telling him all winter that Pardee's withdrawal was based upon the facts (1) that he had no chance of getting the nomination, (2) that he never was within gunshot of the nomination, and (3) he simply saved himself from the humiliation of defeat by sidestepping out of the fight which he was never in, in reasonably good order? Why does Otis persist in this infamy? Hasn't he been taught better manners? Now be good, Colonel, and don't say that again, for 'tain't true, and it's naughty boys that tell lies. GEORGE F. HATTON of San Francisco has been in Orange county in the interests of the candidacy of Senator Perkins, who aspires to re-election to the United States Senate. Perkins is understood to have lost the aid of Jeems McFadden, which, however, never amounted to much, save as it was operated through and chased by Rice's brother, C. P. Rice of Tustin. J. W. Rice and family will arrive in March and make their permanent home on the ranch. The property is set to bearing walnut, orange and apricot trees. J. H. Moesser of Santa Ana has received a memoir from Salt Lake City which he prizes highly. It is a badge from the Utah Indian Veterans' Association, of which he is a member. On the 23d inst. the association will hold its annual campfire. Back in the 50's Moesser was an active Indian fighter, and figured in thrilling adventures on the plains. He has been a participant in three Indian wars as a volunteer, and tells interesting stories of the experiences through which he passed during that time. Charles Myrtle and Frank Case, two of the highwaymen who pleaded guilty to robbing Maj. E. F. C. Klokke in Los Angeles the night of January 18th were sentenced to life imprisonment in Folsom. Judge Smith, in pronouncing sentence, said: "The crime of which you admit you are guilty is one of the greatest known to our law. He who in the darkness of the night lies in wait for a person, a traveler or a business man of a city, to assault him and rob him at the point of a revolver, is a murderer at heart.
