SAN LUIS OBISPO.
Great Progress Making in that
Section of the State.

SAN LUIS OBIsPo, Cal Oct. 27, s6.
DEAR HERALD:-The progress made ia thi
section of the country since was here las
is very great; yet the advances that will bt
made In prosperity in the next few year.
will be greater than ever before The rail
| road is rapidly approaching San Luis, ant
when this thriving town is connected by
rail with the outside world her agriculture
and commercial interests will take an as
| tonishing leap forward. Population is rap
idly increasing, and vast stretch of eoun
try in this county, known as the Estrella
aud the Cholla Observation-Disclosures that
were almost inhabited few years ago. are
now covered with settlements. The restor-
alton to the public domain OF the unearncd d
lands that had been listed to the Atlantic
and Pacific Railroad, the result of Demo
cratic legislation in Congress, has caused
this great impetus to immigration into this
county. The people know that, as long as
tne Republican party was in power, it was
useless to appeal to Congress to restore these
lahds; but that no sooner had the Demo-
cratic party, got possession of the Lower
House and the Executive Office, than it full
filled the pledge made to the people in its
chicago platform and passed bills restoring
over 5O. .0O0,00 acres of the unearned lands
the railroads had gobbled, and would have
held with the connivance of the Republican
the Federal Government These facts are
well known throughout this region, and
they are having powerful effect In advanc-
Ing the prospects of
THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
Hence find many Republicans who will
at this election support Mr.. Lynch for Con-
McD. Venable for the State Senate aud AS
sembly SO that the latter can help to give
the country another United States Senator
TO use his influence and vote in favor of the
land and other reforms already inaugurated
and raso Robles thfs consideration is hav-
Ing powerful effect upon the electors; and
In Cambria and Cayueos, where was yes
terday and the night before, l found the
Lynch lett behind him most favorable i'm
preston, and he will receive very large
vote over his competitor. When he was here
he went to San Luis bay and made close
personal inspection of the harbor, and
iound the improvements required SO i'm
portant that he determined to return here
before going to Congress to make a close
study OF the needs of this port. This is the
KIND OF man the district wants for Con
gress, and the people universally appreciate
such an aspirant, and will very generally
vote for him.
GRAND DEMOCRATIC RALLY.
There was a very large. enthusiastic and
inspiring Democratic meeting held here
last night Il was held in front of the Cos
mopolitan Hotel. and the street, as far as
the eye could reach, was alive with people,

to take as deep. an interest in
the proceedings as the men. Col. J. J.
Ayers, Mr.. w. w. Broughton and Mr.. VIM.
Graves were the speakers The address of
Col. Ayers was pronounced to be the
best yet heard here during the campaign,
and consumed one hour and half In its
delivery. The speech of
W. W. BRoUsuToN,
Candidate for this district for State Senator,
demonstrated the ability of this gentleman
for the duties of the Office to which he
aspires. 1t was clear. fo,cible, suggestive.
He showed himself to be man of ideas,
and OF capacity to illuminate them by
c!ear.cut style of eloquence which carries
conviction wi h it. He is also man of the |
people-one who has taken an active and
foremost part in prosecuting and agtating
all the great questions of political reform so
urgently needed by them. Indeed, in
santa Barbara county, where he lives. he is
and has a following CT which man should
be proud. His strenlth with the masses is
derived from the fact that he is not only
able and eloquent. but a sincere and con-
scientious man. He VIII poll far greater
vote than his party where he is intimately
known, and his canvass in this. county has |
been carried on go intelligently and |
thoroughly that will make splendid show
ing when the votes come to be counted 1t |
would be not only great advantage TO this |
senatorial District to have Mr.. Broughton |
in the Senate but the State generally would |
profit by his clear ideas aud able presenta.

ture. The meeting was closed with IN ad-
