speaker closed by extending on behalf of
the Pasadenians a cordial welcome to
Col. Markham.
Col. H. HI. Markham, who was receiv-
ed with three hearty cheers from the
Los Angeles contingent, which appeared
to take much more interest in the meet
ing than the local crowd, then responded
as follows:
Ladies and fellow Republicans:
should have to possess heart of stone
to resist the kindly feeling manifested
by you towards myself to night. 1t is
far more than l deserve, but l assure
you that I appreciate it from the
bottom of my heart. [ count the
respect which you have shown
or me as worth far more than all the
honors you could heap upon me, and 1
thank you for it. 1t was the solid, unan-
imous voice of Pasadena that first went
out for me. and you have stood by me
through every phate of the campaign.
l shall never forget Pasadena so long as
the breath of life passes through my
body. 1 did not intend to make any
speech, as / need rest after all the hours
OF labor which / have endured
since left home, and l should undoubt-
edly have been in terrible state of ner-
vousness but for my good wife, who
promised me that if l did not get the
nomination for governor of this state,
she would nominate me for the Geuten-
ant governorship Il our home. There
are hundred things l would like to say
to you, but will reserve them until am
better prepared. Good night"
Short addresses were then made by
Mayor Hazard, Judge B. N. Smith, H.
q. Osborne, Col. Nudge of Compton,
and Judge J. w. Mckinley, the glee
club singing another campaign song,
and Prof. Kyle reading poem entitled
Markham roses" written for the occa-
sion by Mrs. E. A. Otis. Lemonade
was distributed prodigally among the
guests on the platform during the exer-
cises, but the refreshing beverage did
not apparently find favor with the An
gelef1os, who were for the most part
ti-Prohibitionists.
At the close of the exercises an adj
journment was had to the dining room
of the Webster, where Col. Markham
held an informal reception. By ten
O'Clock the affair was all over and the
doors of the hotel closed. and the visi-
tors dispersed. The Los Angeles delega-
ton was compelled to wait until eleven
O clocl, before the specials returned,
arriving in this city shortly before mid
night.
The local committee Of arranoements
met yesterday afternoon, and the differ
ent subcommittee reported as follows;
Two hundred dollars has been raised for
expenses OF the reception, which will be
ample, as some OF the clubs pay their
own bands and other expenses.
The committee submitted the follow
ing list of speakers icr the reception at
the pavilion this evening, which was
adopted, subject to such changes as may
be necessary: Hon. H. T. Hazard, w.

ton of Col. G. G. Allen, grand mar
shall.
