which has been talked Of and worked
up by the leaders Of the Republican
party for long time past. When the sub

that future generations Of Republicans
would cherish the day IN their memories.

and think, and after thinking gradual cur

These clubs from distance certainly added
greatly TO the Republican demonstration aud

the idea that Republican enthusiasm WAS ut

THE MEETING.
Elaborate preparations had been made for
the speeches, and the public was to be n
forded every facility for hearing the un-
tanned eloqnence that poured from the lips
OF purely disinterested (l) orators. Stands
were erected ON both the north and south
sides Of the Court House. II was the inten

and is therefore considered by the kepubl!-
cans a 1T man to teach Americlns their
duty. One stand, however, would have
been amply sufficient to accommodate the
| listeners and the Sonoratown meeting was
abandoned, and only the two Court House
meetings were conducted
The stand on the south side of the Court
House was manned by Hon. John Mansfield

his speech formed n departure from the
jejure and commonplace performances of his
objection to the severe logical methods OF Mr.
Taylor. His premises were excessively
weak, but his conclusions were notably
strong. During the time In which he held

of speech were most magnificent and the
poetry of his address showed long and care
iul preparation. The glorious armament
was ransacked and the brightest stars called
down and placed side by side with immlcu-
late Republicans.
On the north side of the Court House Hon.
J. 4. Crank was Chairman, and Y. A, Gibson
Secretary, while the usual half hundred
Vice Presidents were appointed. Hon. II.
Y. Paige and Governor solomon were the
speakers from distance at this stand. and
their speeches seemed to have quleting
effect on the audience. as they were per

failed to disturb the placidity of his hearers,

NOTES,
The Riverside Blaine and Logan Knights
were the hnndsomest body in the parade
Their suits were tasty and they had some
idea of marching.
Captain james put the possession at MA,
and Captain II, 7, Paine at between 1900
and 1000. The Times will probably accept
Captain James figures.
The Army and Navy League probably
made the poorest out Mt marching on record.
The trouble was that soldier was put to
march with Il sailor and their tactics were
different.
The San Bernardino boys turned out with
three companies. two of them composed of
men and one of kids" This was return
compliment for the trip the Los Angeles
boys took to San Bernardino lately.
The Stalwart Ranney was arrayed in a
Young Mems Republican Club uniform that
set of his form to advantage. Frank Me
Coy, who aspires to be deputy judge, wore u
Blaine hat and pleasing smile.
Ben +. Ward, the obese candidate for Re
cOrder, was determined that his euphonious
name should not be kept in the background
