Franklin and New High Streets,
Fitting Up in Superb Style.
The Iroquis Club and the County Cen
fral Committee of the Democratic party
have for some time been on the look out
for good place to hold public meetings
In this city. The matter was taken in
hand last week by Mr.. Sidney Lacey,
Grand Sschem of the Iroquois Club, Mr..
Eugene Germain, Chairman of the
County Committee, and Major Harry
Patton, Grand Medicine Man OF the
Iroquois. These gentlemen made a
complete canvass of the city and as re-
suit located the vacant lot on New High
street, north of Franklin, as the most
suitable place to be found. The pre-
misses are owned by DIR. ]. E. Fulton,
q sterling Democrat, and there was there
lore but little trouble in securing the
use thereof for the purposes outlined
above. At its inner line next to the
lot of Mrs. Means, DIR. Fulton's property
is $50 feet deep, and it is so feet along
New High street. The Title and Alb
stract Company's building bounds it on
the south. This building abuts on the
vacant lot with a very high and solid
brick wall. Mrs. Means lot is also i'm
proved and this will be more
or less available for stand
ing room for the big crowds
which will assemble here for the next
four months to hear Jeffersonian Demo-
ocracy expounded by the big speakers of
the party. The big retaining wall of the
Court House property runs along the
north edge OF the Means lot. AS the
place is retired from the great business
thoroughfares of the city. there will be
no reason for not filling the streets with
people when the party has a big whoop-
mp.
HOW 1T is BEING FILLED UP.
Having secured the lot the next thing
was to get it put in proper order. A
HERALD reporter visited the premises
yesterday afternoon and found gang OF
carpenters and others all busily engaged
in making the necessary arrangements
on the ground. The deep inner corner
Of the lot has been well l..enclosed and fit
ed with all sorts of appliances for filling
and taking care of torches and other like
property of the County Committee, the
lroquois and other Democratic Clubs of
the city. In front of this is the
stand for speakers, with a wing
for the band, one for the
glee clubs and place for reporters.
This stand is eighty feet long and Of
ample width to accommodate all who
have need of it. A large tier of seats
will be erected against the brick wall of
the Title and Abstract Company, and
another similar tier will flank the north
edge of the lot, the two tiers standing to
each other vis-a vis.
be one of the very best speaking
stands in the country. From
two sides-and these are direc-
tions in which the winds blow
the premises will be completely sheltered.
Ladies' who sit on the tiers of seats
abutting against the building of the
Title and Abstract Company will be as
perfectly sheltered as if they were under
cover. The speakers and others on the
grand stand will enjoy perfect immun-
place is admirably protected from cold
winds, draughts and other annoyances.
In the matter of sound the place is quite
as admirable as it is in
all other respects. The knobs
which surround the p emises will
reflect back waves of sound and prevent
them from being dissipated in the open
air. Speakers will be heard with nearly
as much ease as if they were in hall.
This is very great advantage to both

THE BAPTISM OF TALK.
The stand and the premises otherwise
viii undergo its baptism of talk next
Saturday night This is to be the first
great whoop-up for Cleveland, Thurman
and Reform. Hon. S. M. White is
home, and he will be rendered welcome
back as chief, a very interesting epi-
sode of the affair. He will be the chief
speaker on that occasion, and he will be
ably reinforced by others of the
local orators. 1t has been learned
by the reporter that Hon. R. B. Terry,
who is to represent this district in the
next Congress, will be in Los Angeles on
Saturday, and it is very probable that he
will have something interesting to say to
the assembled sovereigns of this section.
Ahh OOONIh1
From all parts of Los Angeles county
the faithful are invited to participate in
the demonstration. Downey City has
signified its intention to be present at
least one hundred strong. A train will
run from Santa Ana, and will bring in
many from all along the route. On
other lires excursion trains will run.
too. A really grand display of party
patriotism may be expected.
THE IRoQUoIs FLAG.
Some of the good ladies of the city
whose partisan feelings are always warm
went out last week and collected from
their friends among the Democratic la
dies Of the city handsome purse, which
is to be devoted to the purchase of a flag
To be presented in the name of those
good ladies to the Iroquois Club of Los
Angeles. A member of the club who
recently visited San Francisco, acting
under instructions of Mr.. Grand Sachem
Lacey, ordered the flag made at once. It
is to be the best and most handsome
flag that money can buy. 1t will
be here sure by the time of the
grand rally on Saturday night, when it
and the standard bearer of the club, Mr..
Ed. Gibson, will be the cynosure Of all
eyes.
Let the Democrats who read this to-
day, give three rousiug cheers for Cleye-
land, Thurman and Reform, and register
sacred vow that come what NAV thew
