field was no dirt-eater, no demagogue
/ but brave statesman, who dared to d.
right. Should we dare to vacate and disre
gard treaty without notice, treaty or con
tract made with England or France or Ger
many, or they to do so with US, it would be
cause for war, cause for all good men scorn
ing the creature who would do such dishon

attempted national dishonor. Applause.
| The Democracy and its candidate will moi
reach the Presidential chair They reminded
him of a story. A visitor and his wife to the
State Fair were looking at the fine exhibits
displayed The wife espied beautiful chat
| in the Pavilion, and called the attention OF
her spouse to it. He admitted that it was a
fine chair, and passed on. Again she brought
him around to it and said, Husband, that's
a very fine chair" Yes, dear it is, in.
Decd" and again he passed on. Again she
brought him around and said. my dear

all right; but that's all you will
ever get set on it," [Roars of laughter
This is the last effort of the Democratic
party. In Hancock is their last hope; he is,
they think, the depositary for all their sins,
the shrine where they shall be absolved of all
wrong. On him they hope to climb up to the
Presidential chair, where once they sat and
stole the powder and arms for defense of the
old flag. [Applause.l If we forget the brave
deeds of the soldiers, the blood of Lincoln,

not nation; who declared once that the
nation ought not to exist and should no
longer exist if we permit that, we ought
almost to perish from the earth. Applause
But Garfield will be elected, and the nation
will be saved from the Democracy EGreat
applause With a brilliant preroration Mr.
Hart concluded amidst loud and long-con-
tinued applause.
After music by the band, Mr.. Jones intro
duced
W. A. CHENEY.
Who said he had prepared in his mind some
thoughts to give expression to, but Mr.. Hart
had gone over the ground and said what he
had intended to treat Of He must therefore
speak of other things, and would be brief. He
asked himself why he was not Democrat,
and why he is Republican? He stood in
front of Fanueil Hall and saw thousand
men to beat of drum in health and strength
march with flying banners to the de-
Tense of the Government. A year after
he stood on the same spot, still but
boy, and saw march up the street
fifty men, ragged, torn, manned, stopped and
aged prematurely. They bore tattered
banner, too, all full of bullet-holes and
stained with their blood Fifty men, only
fifty of all the brave thousand who marched
away. But, he said to himself, their work is
done-they have freed 100000 of men from
bondage; they have given 100000 citizens
to the Union they have saved the Union.
[Applause.l What did he see now? A
party asking power which fought those men
and would undo all they did; a party
declaring this is not a nation-and
now he knows why he is not Democrat.
[Great applause He went to Democratic
meeting the other night-went to hear what
they had to say why they should be returned
to power. They had an eloquent speaker,
and what did he say? Why, that this is not
a nation, but only an aggregation of States;
and again he realized why he is not Demo-
crat. Not nation? Oh, no The Demo.
cratic party has not forgotten its old treason,
and would fight the old fight over again if it
could Not a nation? Oh, no when we
travel from Maine to South Carolina, and
from there TO California, we don't travel over
the nation, but over an aggregation Of States.
[Applause and laughter He read an extract
from an account of Democratic meeting in
Georgia, where they refused to stand up for
Brown, the Senator, and said it was be-
cause in the time of the peril of
his State in the Rebellion he went
back on her, and therefore was not Repre-
sentative Democrat. Why don't they say that
of Hancock? Because it wouldn't be good
policy. Applause After all, it isn't Han
cock, the man. but the party back of him.
He read from speech by Judge Black, when
q few years ago he Landed General Garfield
to the skies, and when, referring to the
Credit Mobilier matter, he declared that no
point could be made against Garfield, and he
would be the last man against whom he
would attempt to make a point in that mat
ter. Applause. The speaker continued at
length, pointing cut why the elements Sur
rounding Hancock politically cannot be
trusted to administer the Government.
GROVE L. JOHNSON
Was called for, and responded by coming
from the midst of the audience to the stand,
and was received with loud applause and
cheers He said that after the able and elo-
quent speeches that had been made, he could
not venture at the then late hour, to enter
upon a speech and discussion of the issues of
the campaign. But he would congratulate
the Club upon its splendid meeting, and lie
would say that while he was just as enthusi-
astic as any one, and was working as hard as
he knew how for the Republican party, yet
no man and no woman who loves the Repub-
lican party should cease in their efforts for
its triumph, and they should not run away
with the idea that it is going to be an easy
fight, or that it is already won-by no
means. The enemy has all to gain
and little to lose, and it means
to give the Republican party terribly hard
fight. CALIFORNIA; six electoral votes are
needed to elect Garfield and Arthur. He
believed the party would win. Applause.
But if it wins it must be by the vigilance of
its friends. Such meetings as this give golden
promise for the future. [Applanse.l Let
every one who loves the Union and the ma
ton pledge himself to leave no stone unturned
to defeat the Democratic party fairly and
openly in the campaign now opening. loud
applause.
F. A. HoRNBLowER
Was called for next, and came forward to tie
stage and was received with applause. He
said it was too late to begin regular speech.
He promised to take an active part in the
campaign. He thanked the Republican
party for what he enjoyed He looked
around him and saw that all the nation has is
due to the Republican party. The financial
standing the country has abroad, the respect
it inspires in all the world, the prosperity the
people enjoy, ALL all is due to the Republic
can party, and for none of it can the Democ-
racy claim the slightest credit. Applause.
Why had there been depression here in
California? Because from the ranks
of the Democracy came the men who formed
a mob and brought about the late disturb
ances, Frustrated industry, checked progress,
and brought business almost to a standstill.
Now these men are back in the Democratic
ranks, having failed IN their secession from
the party, and are now hoping to win under
the old organization. He concluded with an
apology for not continuing, and promised at
a future date to again address the club.
The band then played. While in response
to the invitation OF Mr.. Jones. many came
forward and signed the Club roll. The
meeting then adjourned with three rousipg
cheers for Garfield and Arthur, and three for
the speakers of the evening.
Box WITHOUT AN OwNER.-Day before
yesterday morning, in the early market hours,
in the lower part of the city, a stout China
man named All Jim approached fruit
rancher named J. f. Wright, at his market
wagon on J street, near Third, and rendered
HIM an empty fruit crate which he claimed
he bought the day before OF him filed with
fruit, and left four bits for the crate, which
he was to have repaid to him upon its return
when emptied The rancher denied the Celes-
tiaps statement, and knew nothing about the
box This was more than the Chinaman
