terly manner. lie declared that the issue
between the Democratic and Republican
parties was not an issue between free trade
aud protection lie stated that the legisla-
ton approaching TO free trade agains, the
Interests of the people of Californii were in
corporated In the laws of the land by the
Republicans and not by the Democrats.
lie then introduced the
HON. d. NJ. DELMAs,
OF San Francisco, who was received with
wild applause by the vast audience that
Allied the streets In every direction. The
speaker said Il was the first time he had Wis
lied this beautiful city and he recognized il
as the second city in business importance on
the Pacific Coast. He then addressed him
self TO discussion Of the tariff question, and
inquired when had there been responsible
and official deliyerance of the Democratic
party In favor of free trade. He showed
that the reduction OF duties on such products
as the farmers of California produced was
done by the Republican party.
The speaker next proceeded to r consider
alton of the manner OF establishing rings for
the benefit OF few fortunate owners. \
conspicuous instance OF this was shown in
the tariff on borax, which was five cents per
pound, more than half the value of the com
modify, and all for the benefit OF the few
men who controlled the borax mines, This
was a severe tax on the blacksmith, the
druggist, the manufacturer and the artisan
who used this valuable metal.
fhe reduction of the tariff ON wool charged
against the Democracy was made under 4
Republican administration. He showed
that all the great principles advocated by
the Democratic party were In the interest Of
the people.
He then paid glowing tribute to Hon. r.
T. Del valle stating that he had travelled
nearly all over this Congressional District
and found that the people Endorsed the pub
lie career OF Senator Del Vale In every re-
spect.
Mr. Delmas said that he was not going to

quired him to deal with the facts of history.

of Mr.. Blaine as speaker of the House OF
Representatives in 1869, when he wrote the
Mnlligan letters
person In the audience asked how he
knew that Mr.. Blaine wrote the letters con-
corning the Fort Smith and Little Rock
Railroad. The speaker then read MI.
Blaines letter to Mr. Fisher, for the benefit
of the questiOner, which silenced his desire
for knowledge, and turned storm of ridi-
Guile against him that was overwhelming.
He then in succinct and mastery manner
showed that Blaine sent note to Logan, to
silence his opposition to the scheme, which
proved to be successful and received Sl51 500
Tor his distinguished services.
After finishing his analysis of the political
career of Mr.. Blaine, which was done in a
dignified and scholarly manner, and showed
him to be scheming political adventurer,
the speaker passed to a consideration of the
railroad monopoly question, and charged
the Republican party with being connected
with Sanford Croker, Huntington and Mrs.
IL tsaa In. t..aK fh.a liz.
stated that II. " Moorehouse, the recent
Democratic pervert, who is now Republi-
can speaker, is in the employ of the s. P. r..
X. at salary OF $500 year. Another per
vert was Senator David Mcclure, who, in
the Senate, was the X. k. tool. and did the
work of that corporation.
NJ. d. Boruck, editor of the Spirit of the
Times, or Horse Paper" was also shown up
as railroad employe, and Hon. J. b. La
mar was shown to be a pervert from Dem
oeracy at San Jose but eighteen months ago,
aud is now Republican orator OF the first
water.
Greed Raymond, of Sacramento, the attor-
ney Of the railroad, was shown to have been
former Democrat, but is now Republican
speaker.
Mr. Cutter, of Yuba, left his hat In the
Capitol and climbed to the dome of the
building for fresh air. He Is now Repub-
liean speaker for the railroad and the Re
publican party, which are now one.
The Democrats have determined that the
railroads should pay their taxes other tax
payers pay. All the Republicans voted for
the railroad interests.
Mcclure who was sent to Chicago as u
delegate, had c. F. Croker as an alternate.
The speaker closed with a panegyric on
the Stockton Convention, which he character
lied as a noble band of patriots, incurrupti-
Bile, brave and defiant who determined to
stand by the rights of the people in opposi-
ton to the grasping of monopoly. He was
proud to have been a member of that body

of the speaker was brilliant and eloquent iii
the highest degree and was followed by
loud and enthusiastic applause.
WALTER II. LEVY.
The chairman then introduced Walter II.
San Francisco, and now candidate for
Superior Judge in that city Mr.. Levy con
graduated himself in being able to address
the people of Los Angeles. He was also glad
to appear and speak In favor Of the popular
favorite OF Los Angeles, the Hon. X. F. Del
Vale, the Democratic candidate for Con
gress from the Sixth District. After describ
ing the characters of the Republican leaders
in the Chicago Convention, he came down in
the list, to Frank NJ, Pixley, whom he charac
terized as the poodle dog Of San Francisco.
The speaker then read a letter from Walter
NJ. Thayer, President OF the New York
Trades Union endorsing Grover Cleveland
and pledging him support He then re
Cleveland and pronounced IL statesmanlike
and profoundly honorable. Mr.. Levy then
exposed the heartlessness of Mr. Blaine in
the McSweeny case in neglecting to release
that gentleman from his lonely dungeon
He also showed the difference between the
Democratic and Republican administration
of the municipal affairs of San Francisco
showing that while the Republicans left the
city s260.0O0 in debt at the end of their ad-
ministration, the Democrats left it with sli0
go In the treasury. Mr. Levy spoke briefly
in favor Of protective tariff but excused
himself from making a lengthy speech on
account of ill health A heavy mist pre-
vailed during the evening, making speaking
in the open air laborious and painful,
and especially so for Mr.. Levy, who was
worn out with constant speaking for the past
two weeks, His speech was characterized
by directness and vigor, and at the close
was received with prolonged cheers Not
withstanding the unpleasant weather. the
vast audience remained to the end of the
last address, and showed by their attention
their deep interest in the able addresses by
the President and Messrs, Delmas and Levy
The meeting will long be remembered as
