J trained soldiers. The drum corp
. cnd various bands occupied appro
priate positions.
BY a quartefPdst eight the gentle
men who stood upon the balcony o
the Social Hall were confronted BY
scene Of splendor calculated Il
arouse the highest enthusiasm, a
well as TO deeply impress the be
holder. The handsome uniforms o.
the marching clubs, drum corps
and bands, the immense number o.
torches in long lines which threw q
brilliant illumination over the
scene, and the densely massed and
vast SEA of human faces turned e
the balcony, were elements of a pic.
sure Of SURPRISING grandeur ard
glory.
Before the speaking had been long
In progress the mulitrd. had
swelled so that the street was filled
its entire width. The enormous
audience extended from the Social
Hail sters to the rear Of the Theatre,
and up the STREET -ome distance in
the direction Of the Eagis Gate.
Soon alters o'clock
NON. r. S. RICHARDS,
standing on the balcony Of the Social
Hall, called the vast assemOlage TO
order. He made a brief opening
speech, expressing his admiration OF
the scene before him. He congratu-
lated the Peoples Party on its
unity, loyalty and zeal, and stated
that the marching clubs and other
organizations Of the party had the
gratitude CT the Central Commit
| tee for the whole-hearted man
ner in which they Ind responded
to its calls. He closed by nominate
ing Hon. &. w. Penrose as chair
man Of the meeting. He was ne
peatedly interrupted by cheers, and
the nomination was carried with
great enthusiasm.
HON. C. W. PENRoeE
was CREATED with applause rs he adj
vanced to speak. The object Of this
gathering X TO ratify the Peoples
ticket. | regard every tOrchligt here
rs n beacon light Of liberty, and our
hearts respond with patriotic pulsa-
tons to the beating Of the drums.
Tonight we see n great display Of
Chinese lanterns. An ailusion TO
the illumination of Liberal" priv
ate residences. To my mind they
are suggestive Of ''ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain"
Tremendous applause. The Peo-
Pies Party have resOrted TO no
tricks nor frauds. We have sent over
no railroad aregis.ration car. Wehave
published no boyus dispatches to
smirch the fair fame Of men who
were standing up for right. The
men upon our ticket are representa-
tive. They come from various
classes Of the community. Merch-
ants, the professions and the labor
ing classes are represented upon 1t.
Ifthere vas nothing but the contrast
between the two tickets to create
enthusiasm, II would do it among
our party. But there Is vastly more.
The principles Of human liberty are
at stake.
The ranks Of the Peoples Party
are filled with genuine residents and
citizens Of the Territory. In them is
seen no contingent from Iowa,
no delegation" from Colombo, and
no reinforcements from P.V.! Tire
mendOus cheers.
The Peoples Municipal Central |
Committee has done nothing I'M

done. The speaker closed by intro

Prolonged cheering. They
have openly and VIGOROUSLY con

senling Of n registration ear over
the Rio Grande Western and the
routing out OF their hunks in the
night Of gangs OF laborers to have
them sign n registration oath and
take n drink Of whisky was such n
confession. The appointment Of the
registrars to pass rs judicial officers
upon their own illegal acts, per-
formed while they were ministerial
acts, was another confession. The
ruling which gave those same func-
tionaries supreme authority rs
courts, even TO the extent OF over
riding the decisions Of the United
States Supreme Court, was another
confession that the "Liberals''
could not possibly trih the election.
We may know, therefore, that,
shUrld there be by any means such
4 miscarriage Of justice as shall
cause the government Of the city to
fall into their hands, they have not
