and II was truly triumphal march. The
whole line was blaze Of light from sky
rockets and Roman candles, and the Demo
| cratic cheers which rent the air struck ter
ror to the hearts OF the enemy. There was
no outside influence brought To bear ON this
| parade. San Bernardlno was not here and
Riverside failed to show up. The towns In
| the immediate vicinity Of Los Angeles did
not send delegations, wisely concluding
that the energies Of their Democrats had
best be reserved for election day, and that n
good nights rest would put them In shape
| for solid work on the day that the "silent
| ballots fall like the snowfakes." This being
| the case the Republicans were at II loss to
know from whence the large number OF
Democrats came. and they were finally com
pelled to admit that the two thousand voters
| In line were residents Of Los Angeles
| The enthusiasm exhibited wns unbounded
| aud was presage of what to-day's vote will
be. The. streets along the line Of march
were blockaded with people and 1t was
with the greatest effort that the carriage OF
| Hon. X. =. Del Vale could proceed, so in
| tense was the desire Of his admirers to get II
| sight OF and cheer him. ON the corner Of
| Spring and Temple streets the crowd was
| especially large. The windows and galleries
Of the surrounding buildings were filled
with ladies', who industrlOusly waved n
cloud Of white handkerchicfs as the gallant
Democratic host passed AOld men who had
not marched In n procession for forty years
turned out In this parade, unable to resist
the Cleveland tide that is now at Its How.
Many men who had never before voted the
Democratic ticket were also In line and
bravely bore the jcers of their quondan
companions on the outside,
The procession formed at 3 o'clock in the

In front of the st. Elmo Hotel, where the pro-

and Del Vale.
AT HEADQUARTERS.
| The audience that gathered at the Head.
| quarters was one of the largest ever seen Ia
Southern California, and filled Temple
street and New High street with vast mass
| of people far beyond the reach of the speak
er's voice. After music by the band Geo S
Patton, Esq, called the meeting to order and
| nominated

Gen. Baldwin came forward, and in a few
graceful and eloquent words returned
| thanks for the honor conferred, which h,
| understood was intended for the Old Guard
| of the Democratic party, OF which he had
been member for thirty-fve years. He
| was glad to see the great outpouring of the
people and urged the people to turn out
| tomorrow and overwhelm the party In
| power at Washington. lie then introduced
| the Democratic nominee for Congress,
| HON. II. r. DEL VALE.
Mr.. Del Vale was received with tremen
| dous and long continued applause. The
| honorable gentleman expressed his great
Of his fellow citizens who had turned out
to bear witness of their devotion tC
| the Democratic party. The unpris
ing OF the people was like the
| noisy and tumultuous but after the elec
| tion is over the people will subside, like the
falling streams, into the quietude OF Their
| original channels of business, and all would
be serene and filed with peace.
| The speaker then introduced the tariff
| question, which he said the Republicans
| used as nurses used bugbear stories to
frighten little children. lie stated, as a
| specimen of the devotion of the Republican
| party to the tariff, that the party passed the
| Sandwich Island reciprocity treaty, which
| permitted sugar of which Claus Spreckles Is
the monopolizer, to enter free OF the former
duty of 2i3 cents per pound. There was no
| protection in that, except to Claus Spreck kles
| The Mexican reciprocity treaty was cited as
| another evidence that the Republicans wers
| in favor of free trade, in permitting large
| amount of Mexican produce to enter the
| United States free of duty. lie also stated
that two Republican Presidents-Hayes
| and Arthur vetoed antiChinese bills
passed by Congress, and that the party could
| not be called an anti-Chinese party but the
| opposite He insisted that the democratic
party favored protection to American indus
tries, to wine, WOOL raisins and other pro,
duets, aud pledged himself II elected to vote
for such protection. That being the cise
what is left Of the free trade cry of the Re
pnblicans2 When the Democrats want To
discuss national matters the Republicans fly
the track and cry free trade"
| lie then passed to the monopoly question.
