BY careful computation there were o5oo

with campaign songs by MISS DAISY. May

LOYAL SHOUTS.
When the signal from without was heard
such cheer went up as nearly raised the
roof from its fastenings, and the three or
four minutes which interviewed before the
arriya of the head of The procession at the
threshold were moments of enthusiasm
never TO be forgotten. Finally. after what
seemed almost an age, Lieuienant-Colonel
Roster and his aids, followed by Walcott'S
uniformed band and the members of the
Morrow Club, forged their way through the
surging ihrong, inside the doors, and
marched to the roStrum to the patriotic tune
of The Red, White and Blue, which could
just be heard above the cheering.
When the head Of this fine body reached
the r0strum the whole central aisle was
brighten ed with tTanSparencIes ana Amefl-
can flags amidst which the pretty ensign Oh
the Morrow Club was conspicuous. An at
tempt was then made to open lines SO that
the distinguished speakers ana their guests
could reach the stage. but Willie this was
possible half way down the aisle, the at
tempt had 10 be abandoned at that point IN
consequence OF the crush on both sides OF
the entrance, and the party, followed by the
State Central Committee, reached their
places on the platform by side door.
Fully 5000 people were packed IN the hall
when Colonel Markham, wearing the badge
nj ba Morrow CHM and summarized nv W.
W. Morrow, Charles n. FELTON, and eX-GOv-
ernor Perkins, came upon the stage, and
then a scene Of indeScribable enthusiasm
took place. Men roared themselves hOarSe
and threw their hatS in the air, ladies
waved handkerehiefS and furs, standard
bearers saluted with their colors, small boys
blew horns and juvenile calllOpeS, and the
bands on either side endeayored TO raise
Hail to the CHIEF above the din, but
failed to be heard few yards distant.
CALLED TO ORDER.
Finally Chairman Stump of the Executive
Committee came forward. made few re-
marks, which failed to be heard, and was
followed by Ex-Governor Perkins, who, after
signaling for silence, called for three cheers
for Markham, folio ed by three more for
Morrow, with tiger attachments.
Having worn themselves out with cheer
ing, comparative silence was at last secured
in the audience, though for twenty minutes
more the enthusiasm from the street con-
tinuel TO penetrate the building and make
speaking and hearing difficult.
Amid this Semi-confusiOn Governor Per-
kins congratulated the asSemblage upon its
| immensely, its respectabihty and its patriot
| ism, which told in language more potent
| than words that the people are in accord
with the Republican party-the party of
American industry, American homes and
American wOrkmen The conduct Of the
party representatives in Congress was favor
ably commented upon by the speaker; the
advantages of the Australian ballot system
dlScussed,i land an eloquent eulogy of Senator
Stanford given before the Chairman gave
way to Miss Greasy, who sang one of her
humorous campaign songs.
Chairman Perkins then asked leave to in
trOiUce the next Governor of the Golden
State, and Colonel Markham came forwar
amid another scene of applause that riyaled
that which greeted his entrance.
OUR NEXT GOVERNOR.
The Colonel looked wan and worn and his
| first few words showed that his Voice was i'll
| little better condition than his physical ap-
| pearance indicated. He had hard struggle
TO make himself heard even a short distance
| away and seemed several times about to
| Weld the floor to the next speaker, but
| plucking up courage from his extraordinary
! welcome he, in the end, made lengthy and
| pointed speech which was puuctured through
| out with the vigorous cheers and hurrahs of
| his hearers.
| aiIeT referring 10 his ulSiDlliLy, Drought
! on by constant travel and Speech-making
! for the past week, he toll his hearers that
| he was endeayOring TO make the campaign
| on the lines laid down by the last successful
| Republican Governor of the State. who was
| there present as Chairman Of the meeting.
| [Uneers.l In ali his travels tee very stage
| drivers encouraged him to follow Governor
| Perkins example and he would surely be
| elected. He was taking that advice, and
was glad to say that everywhere he went he
was received as heartily as he was received
! here.
At this point the demonstrations of en-
tEusiasm, which had been going on near the
| entrance for some moments, became so pro-
| nounced that the speakers words were
| drowned, and he was about to retire, know
| ing he could not be heard. but the Chairman
| called upon the Republicans to show that
they were good Republicans by maintain
| ing quiet and giving heed to the words of
the next Governor. The admOnition was
needed aud Colonel Markham proceeded.
PLEASANT WORDS.
He said he would not detain his hearers
long, for that gifted yet modest gentleman,
George \. Knight had advised him that he
(Markham) would pursue more success
full course by letting himself be seen and
letting him Knight be heard. [Laughte
He believed he would adopt that course and
retire in his favor. Bat he wanted first to
say few words concerning his friend, Hon.
w. W. MDIEOW, no WAS mere, fresh ITOln
the seat OF government, ready and will
ing 10 entertain them with some
matters for wholesome thought There were
times during the last week, on getting up at
o'clock and rushing off without breakfast
| to keep engagements made for him by the
| State Central Committee, that he wished
| from the bottom Of his heart that Mr.. Nor
| row and not he had been successful at
| Sacramento; but finding himself in the
harness, and knowing that the rebels were
in his rear he was always on the alert, and
intended that they should not get ahead Of
hin. [Cheers.
Speaking Of his receptions throughout the
| country, he said he had been so kindly
treated that if he were at that moment cut
loose from politics he would not know what
place or what people he would like best to
settle down with. He was happy to be able
TO say that In all of his addresses he had
never uttered a word against any OF hi s
opponents, and if the people entrusted
the reins of the Government to him,
he would be able to treat every one of the
general community alike.
SPEAKER REED AND BOBBY.
After complimentary illusions to Hon.
w. W. Morrow and Hon. Charles n. FELTON,,
the Colonel referred to Speaker Reed as the
friend of California who had practically
adopted the State and her Congressional
delegation by giving the Congressman the
best places in his gift on the committees
continue in office, and hoped the Republi-
| cans would make an earnest fight to return
| a Republican as his successor. In con-
Guiding the speaker referred to the reports
| that little " Bob Ferral had threatened to
| spit in Speaker Reeds face il returned to
Congress. He described Reed as giant,
| towering above the pigmy, and If Ferral ever
| got near enough to ever interview him, Reed
would most likely stretch out his hand, feel
" Bobby's" curls and inquire, " Is this a
| boy or girl?" Roars of laughter.
CONGRESSMAN MORROW.
bon. W. W. Morrow was then introduced
to the meeting and received an ovation sec
ond to none That night. He expressed graf
itude for his reception, spoke of his years
absence and the duties that kept him away
from home so long, in addition TO the OBJ
structive tactics of the Democratic minority.
The session just passed was the most prac-
teal in results of any since the war. Several
new States had been admitted to the Union,
and in consequence the pivot of the
Government of the United States had been
changed from TammaDy Hall, New York,
to the farming sections Of the great West.
