crowded with hundreds of spectators, who
were compelled to stand throughout the en-
tire meeting. Hundreds, too, we're turned
away, and many hung around the halls and
the entrance to hear as best they could.
Shortly after s o'clock Colonel Markham and
John B. Reddick entered, and their appear
ance was the signal for a perfect storm of
cheers.

throw his hat in the air with the Republicans
around him.

When quiet was at length restored the

applause. In the midst OF his speech the

in and was given rousing reception. IL too

great future for the great State OF California. the
richest land under the sum- L. Is. REED.
This called for more cheers and more en-
thusiasm.
Edgar Briggs, on behalf of the Milton

a handsome gold badge set with brilliants,
and in response the latter made brief
speech of thanks, which was warmly ap-
plauded.
The National Glee Club sang and the band
followed with Hail Columbia, after which
Hon. j ohm b. Reddick discussed the two
State platforms. He dealt mercilessly with
the san Jose Convention, and sharply crit
czed its action in emitting to refer to the
veterans Of the late war and the public
schools.
II. V. Moorehouse was given an ovation
when introduced, and assailed the Demo

well received, and every hit was cheered vo-
ciferousy.
At the conclusion of the speeches half

hundreds crowded forward to shake hands
with the candidates.
