free-trade principles, there has been a grand
jubilee in this city, and for that matter
throughout the Union. Men have
quit their employment to congratulate
their neighbors upon the success of the
party of protection to Americans and home
industries. In order to give every one an
opportunity 10 lend helping hand in
making the welkin ring a meeting was
called at the Courthouse last evening 10
arrange for a ratification meeting.
The Courtroom was crowded at an early
hour and many who could not gain ad-
mission hung around in the Railways and
on the front steps to await the act of those
inside.
W. A. Anderson called the meeting TO
order and General A. L. Hart was unani-
mously chosen Chairman. J. N. Larkin
was elected Secretary.
In assuming the duties of the chair Gen.
eral Hart said it was the proper caper to
have Jubilee, to rejoice in the success of
the party of progress and protection, and to
congratulate one another on the fact that
the Republican party was once more placed
at the helm of the ship Of state, and that
henceforward that vessel would sail under
Republican captains with Republican
mates and crew that thought more of
America than they did of England. In
other words they were to celebrate the
downfall of Democracy and properly attend
to the obsequies of Grover Cleveland, who
would bewI appedina bandana handk erchief

where the wicked cease from troubling
and the weary are at rest" He said Re
publicans could rejoice over the fact that
they had elected the greatest man who had
ever aspired to the Presidency, the Hon.
Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana TCheers. |
During the campaign Benjamin Harrison
had made many speeches all of which
would be an honor to any man who had
ever ranked in the list of American states
men. Daniel Webster never uttered more
patriotic speeches, never more fully repre-
sented American principles. was not a
greater man than Benjamin Harrison.
[Applause.] None of this audience will
ever live to he old enough to see another
Democratic President elected in this nation.
[Cheers.] The Republican Congress elected
on Tuesday will admit some of the North
ern territories into the Union, more stars
will be added to the constellation on our
national flag and in the next Presidential
campaign we can give them New York,
Connecticut New Jersey and Indiana and
the solid South, and then wipe them out as
completely as we did in the battle last
Tuesday. [Applause and cheers.
w. A. Anderson moved that celebra-
ton be had in this city on Tuesday evening
next.
Captain J. D. Young moved to amend by
making it tonight.
MIR. Anderson thought all the clubs
could not be ready to parade on so short a
notice and spoke in favor of his motion.
Captain Young made vigorous speech
in favor of his amendment He did not
care for the "pretty of the affair, but he
wanted all the whoop-up and enthusiasm
that could be obtained, and much of it
would be lost by delay. The people are
full of it. They are ready to howl tonight,
and there should be no delay. Let it be a
case of spontaneous combustion Let US
howl and ring the bells, burn fireworks
and powder, bring out our anvils and
cannon and whoop her up while we are in
toxicated with enthusiasm. We are ready
to explode and let the fuse be fired, and let
the whole matter go up; bust right now.
San Francisco has already burnt her DOW
der and yelled her yell. Los Angeles has
had her jubilee and painted 'er red, and let
Sacramento have her howl while we are at
a fever heat. Strike while the iron is hot.
Let's don't care for formalities, but go in
for biz time, grand whoop-up, without
any cersmony and without any delay
The Captains remarks were frequently
applauded.
F. D. Ryan spoke in favor of Captain
Young's Amendment. BY Tuesday the
Republicans would loose much of their
political enthusiasm. The Democrats are
expecting it, they are waiting for it, and it
would be wrong to disapDoint them. Let
US get up and howl, as the Captain sug-
gests.
George A. Blanchard also favored the
amendment and made spirited address.
Mr.. Anderson withdrew his motion and
the amendment was then carried amidst
cheers.
A mechanic from the railroad shops
said he was glad the amendment was car
ried. He was working alongside of num-
ber of Democrats who had been laughing
at him for weeks. The tables were now
turned. The laugh was ON the other SIDE,
and he wanted to get even by whooping
her up as soon as possible.
G. H. Hubbard was unanimously elected
Grand Marshal
1t was suggested that some three or four
hundred dollars would he necessary TO
defray funeral expenses"
Grove l.. Johnson suggested that they
take up collection on the spot. This was
done. and Blaine hat was passed around
and S119 collected.
Clinton White said there was some $50
in the hands of j. o. Coleman that had
been collected to defray the expenses of the
Chico young ladies who were TO have at

He thought that money should be used
for " funeral expenses" and it would be
turned over
In that connection the following note
was handed in to this office last evening:

Club of Chico attend the grand rally held
IN this city on the 31st ultimo, could se-
cure the return of their contributions by
