Mr.. Anderson, 10 his opening remarks, said
that the remark with which the Roman
| orator Cato used to always open his adj
dresses, "Delenda est Cartilage Carthage
must be destroyed-would, with slight
change, be applicable to the present occa-
sion-The Democratic party must be de-
stroyed. The Democratic party, the coz
muaistic party, the party of treason, must be
destroyed. lie said They tell US there is

party, with its face always to the front,

Attorney. General A. L. Hart was then ia
troduced. He made some remarks on the
history and traditions of the two national
parties, then discCursed on the Sunday law
question to considerable length, dwelt on the
question of monopolies, reverted to the Chi.
nese question, and closed by an address on
the grand record of the Republican party.
He spoke ono hour and fifty minutes to an
attentive audience, There was conside able
enthusiasm during the entire speech. but the
greatest amount of applause at any OF time
was called forth by q remark the substsncs
Of which was that when he was riding through
FL Dorado county on 4 rugged stage coach,
through dreBGhing rain, he was very giad
TO reach Shingle Springs, aud he said 80 8
fellow-traveler, Civilization has reached
this placa-the railroad managers have found
this place, and God bless them for the COM
forts they have given the people"
Following the address Of General Hart the
President CT the evening made few remarks,
in which he said that during the French rev.
oiution OF 1898, while the Communists and
mob were engaged in their destructive acts,
the leaders proclaimed that they would de-
stroy all the temples and cathedrals aud
everything that reminded them of God and
religion. Then said al old Nationalist,
"You had bstter tear down the stars of
heaven" It was SO, he said, with the DEM
ocratic party; they say they Twill destroy
every vestige of our Christian Sabbath :" and
l say they had better Try to pull down the
stars" The meeting was then declared cd
journed. Owing to the lateness of the hour
Mr.. Gregg did not speak.
The meeting was the first political meeting
that has been held in the new Armory Hall.
The hall is certainly admirably adapted, and
1t is understood that it will be used for this
purpose on future occasions. The acoustic
properties could not be better, and the light,
aided by retiectors imported from New York
st great expense by the Artillery Regiment,
is excellent. The central location OF the
building Is also feature which recommends
it for the purposes of holding political meet
ings. The Hussar band discoursed excellent
music for the occasion last evening.
