Pasadena Aroused by the Los Angeles
Deputation-Colonel Markham's Little
Speech of Thanks-The Demon
stration not Wildly Exciting.
A large crowd of local Republicans
assembled at the Arcade depot at 8 :15
O'Clock yesterday morning, to meet Col.
II. H. Markham, on his arrival from
San Francisco, via San Pedro. Among
them was reception committee from
the various clubs, composed of the fol-
lowing gentlemen: Mayor H. T. Hazard,
J. M. Davies, ]. H. Morrow, S. G. Null
lard, j. G. Wray and j. B. Sanchez. AS
band struck up the tune of 'Hail to the
Chief" and the appearance OF Col.
Markham at the entrance to the car
was the signal for hearty cheer from
the crowd. On alighting from the cars,
Col. Markham was surrour ded by the
crowd and subjected to the
usual amount of handshak-
ing and congratulatory remarks.
A number of carriages were in waiting
for the party outside the depot, and
after short delay. all were driven to
the depot of the Cross road, by way of
Fifth, Main, and Alameda streets.
Mayor Hazard, General Johnson, and
H. q. Osborne, occupied the first car
riage, and the Colonel was the recipient
of many evidences of regard and approval
along the streets through which he
passed N7vor Hazard, J. B. Sanchez
au1 other. accom- nrnied him to Pasa-
dena. retuluing by lhe nest train.
On arrival at the Pasadena depot at
$50 O'Clock, Colonel Markham was app
parently unrecognized, for it was not
until after a crowd had been attracted
by the Los Angeles band, and the news
OF his arrival had been disseminated,
that any notice was taken OF him at all.
He was, however, effusively greeted
while on the way to his carriage, and he
was heartily cheered as he drove away
to his home on Markham avenue.
Pasadena was supposed to be en- fete
last night, but until the arrival of the
Los Angeles delegation there was moth
ing to indicate that anything unusual
was to happen, except the fact that a
small platform had been erected in
front of the Hotel Webster. About
thirty-seven persons left this city on
the Southern California special which
arrived at Pasadena some twenty min
utes earlier than that of the Cross road,
which carried about 200 mem
bers of the Union League, Orc Elmo and
other Republican clubs. On their ar
rival they were met by committee for
the reception Of visitors composed of As
prominent citizens, and all marched in
pairs to the Webster, where they were
drawn up in line. Shortly after s
O'Clock Col. Markham, Mayor Luz
kens, Mayor Hazard and number of
other prominent persons were driven up
and headed by the Markham guards
with lighted fambeaux, and band,
marched through the lines of the Los
Angeles contingent to the platform, in
front of which about 1900 people had
gathered.
After the invited guests had taken
their seats on the platform, the exercises
commenced with song composed for
the occasion by Prof. O. w. Kyle, which
was very creditably rendered by the
Markham glee, club consisting of Messrs
w. Thayer, H. H. Rose, G. j. Crandall
and DR.. Nichols.

Capt. G. NJ. Simpson was then intro
duced, and delivered short welcoming
address. He said that the unexpected
but very pleasant duty had devolved
upon him, of delivering an address of
welcome to their honored fellow-towns-
man and distinguished fellow-citizen,
Col. H. H. Markham, whose master
hand, and overpowering strength, and
pure motives, had gained such signal
victory over boss rule and machine
politics. 1t was unnecessary
for him to indulge in laudatory
phrases, as the gentleman
he referred to was too we'll known in the
community already. The perfect sea of
upturned faces before him would speak
louder than he could from the platform,
and present more clearly it's pride and
appreciation of the honor bestowed on
their favored son. Col. II. H. Markham
had been placed in position to lead the
Republican forces On this fail to the
grandest victory they had ever attained.
To say that he would be elected would
be superf1uous, as that was a
foregone conclusion on the day of
his nomination. His friends, however,
must not rest in apparent security,
because victory was assured, but should
take off their coats and work to ensure
him an overwhelming majority. The
