OAKDALE, October 9Th. There was
grand Democratic rally at o. -\uaIe on oat-
urday night-the Democratic alhpaiSn
rally. announced ahead in big postt 'rs-and
which came off in the spacious pavili, IN; IL
appeared more like very quiet funera o.
about $50 persons than an enthusiastic
political meeting of LOCO persons, the ca
pacity of the building. The meeting was
first addressed by C. c. Wright, candidate
for the Assembly. who defined his position
on the irrigation question quite salts
factorily. The next speaker was from Sac
ramento, who made a fair speech and
abused no one in particular, but it was left
to J. D. Spencer, candidate for Clerk of the
Supreme Court, to ventilate things gen.
orally. He charged the Republican
party with befriending the corpo-
rations generally, and the railroads in
particular, against the interests of the peo-
pie They elected Stanford Senator, held
their State Convention at Los Angeles, and
nominated ticket before unknown to the
public. He represented John Swift as
renegade political tramp, whom he did not
know personally, but believed he had been
in the Legislature. He had never origina-
ted measure for the benefit of the people,
and the speaker knew no good of him. He
finally kicked the stool from under him
Swift, and left him standing upon the
sidewalk on that part of his body that other
people sit down upon. But the Democratic
ticket, he said were all-from Governor to
Clerk of the Supreme Court-men of the
highest order of talent and respectability,
and should all be elected.

fire was sounded and Chinatown discovered
to be on fire. The flames travelled rapidly
from house to house. and in fifteen min
u.es from the time of the first alarm the
entire block was burning. The Chinese, in
various stages of dishabille, were pouring

perfect rain of goods and chattels A
crowd rapidly collected, augmented by
throngs of grinning, chattering Celestials-

rected to saving the Lafayette Hotel, as it
soon became evident that the flimsy struct-
ures of the Chinese were doomed. There
are number of rumors of opium-stupified
