whole ticket.
EVERY INCENTIVE TO WIN.
Gentlemen, my best judgment is that the
Republican party was never in better shape
or more determined to win than at the pres
ent time. There is every incentive for sue
cess and every promise of victory. The
batte-cry is for intelligent economical and
pure government, which we claim can be
best attained through the medium of the
grand old Republican party, which has
added so much to the glory of American
history; that party whose birth was stimuli
taneOuS with that of the State Of California,
and which during the pastf forty Years OF It's
existence has been consistently the friend OF
the poor and the oppressed; the llberator OF
four millions of slaves in war the defender
of the country'S territorial supremacy; In
peace the conservator of its financial honor
and integrity; the protector OF its vast and
varied Industries; and the neyer-falllng
friend of the old soldier, and of the widow
and orphan of him who laid his life upon his
country's altar in defense of that flag which
is to-day the proudest emblem that haunts
to the breeze as the symbol of any nation.
The grand old State OF Maine has already
voiced in thunder tones her approval of the
course of the Republican party and of the
leadership of her stalwart sons. Thomas b.
Reed and James G. Blaine. And when on
the evening of November 4th the sun shall
descend beneath the waves of the Pacific
Ocean, let California return to its sister of
the far Atlantic coast the glad news that the
Golden State has also achieved a glorious
victory for the Republican party and its I'M
dying principles of intelligent economy and
good government. "a
During his speech Colonel Markham was
frequently INTERRUPTED by applause, and his
reference to State division was the signal
for storm of cheers. When he closed
there was another Outburst of voeiferous
applause, which was renewed again and
AGAIN whom Mr. SaniarSnO introduced
Harry V. Moorehouse of Santa Clara. The
latter is clever orator, and his remarks
captured the audience at once. He launched
into his subject with energy, and was
cheered time and again. He spoke substan-
TALLY as follows:
MOoREHOUSE'S SPEECH.
Ladies and Gentlemen and Fellow Repub-
lcans: 1t has been my good fortune to rar-
ticiDate in several campaigns in this State,
but never in my life sat upon platform
and saw greater enthusiasm and determlna-
ton in the eyes OF an audience than L see
before me here tonight. have often Wis
tied the rooms of the State Central Commit
there. l have been canvasSed for news
from this section and from that, but went
there to-day and | found nothing but smiling
confidence and earnest enthusiasm.
"Our President said a few moments ago
that this is the first gun of the campaign.
He was merely mistaken. The first gun
was fired few days ago when Maine gave
the lie to that plank in the Democratic plat
form by re-electing Reed. ICheers. He
may be Gar, but his neighbors in Maine
evidently think that he is right.
''If you will be patient with me for lit
tie time l will tell you why | propose to
vote for this ticket. l am not Of those who
wear the collar of any party so tightly
about my neck that L will go with them
right or wrong, but | can vote this whole
ticket with an easy conscience.
Il am young man, and L may have an
ambition myself to hold the high Office of
Governor of California, but so long as there
is left with us one OF those grand old heroes
who bore our flag TO victory when ruthless
and diSlOYal hands StrOve to pluck from II a
star, | will say that il belongs to him, If he
be faithful and deserving. | recall an incl
dent of the late war, when young soldier
serving with Sherman in South Carolina
rs a color-bearer fell shot through the
hips. The army passed on, leaving him
where he fell among the dead and dying
Soon their shouts proclaimed a victory won,
and that gallant young soldier raised his
poor, wounded body and dragged himself
along that the flag might be borne to the
front. That soldier boy was Colonel Mark
ham" Cheers.
The speaker then referred to the mag
Difieent victory won by Colonel Markham
over Del Vale when be ran for Congress in
the Sixth District
BUCKLEY AND POND.
Continuing, he said: Another and more
potent reason for voting for Markham is to
be found in the story of the San Jose con-
vention that nominated Pond. | was there
and saw how it was done, and yet l had a
Democratic friend coolly inform me few
days ago that there was nothing
in it. Why did a certain well-known
man steal from Mr. Ponds headquarters in
the dead hours OF night and 60 to Buckley?
Look at the vote aud answer ME that On
the first ballot he received 100 votes from the
country, on the second ballot 1875 and on the
third 196. A gain of six in two ballots, and
yet the country nominated him. WY WAS
it that during the roll-eall mysterious
messenger went through the convention
whispering to the delegates that San Fran
cisco was solid for Pond Was it because
they feared he would not be nominated
otherwise? 1t would look so, would 1t not
And now the Democrats are pointing at
the Republicans and saying, Look at your
Governor and the Republicans in turn
are saying, Look at your Legislature.
This much we can say at least, that we dld
set our Governor aside at Sacramento, but
the Democrats didn't set Buckley's legiS-
lature aside at San Jose.
CALIFORNIA; ADMISSION.
when 1 think of the magnificent cele-
bration in this city few days ago, and all
that it MEANS | am not obivious TO the fact
that the Democrats opposed the admission
Of our State, because we we're not willing
that slavery should be forever unknown in
this imperial domain"
In closing the speaker referred to the his
tory of the Republican party, and of the in
consistency OF the Democrats in advocating
the Australian ballot for California and OPP
posing at the same time the Lodge bill.
He said that if the former. and he pre-
sumed 1t would, could stop fraudulent voting
on the part of Buckley's ''heelers" in San
Francisco, there was not Republican in
California indecent enough 10 oppose it.
The meeting was then adjourned amid
three cheers for Markham and Reddick
