tic Thousands.
About 5000 persons, including many ladies
in the gallery, filled every seat in the new
Republican Wgwem last night when Hor-
ace Davis called the ratification meeting to
order. After tuneful selection by VOL
colts Band Mr.. Davis made brief address,
in which he alluded to the many good things
accomplished during the recent session of
Congress. Among the measures beneficial
to California are the Silver Coinage and the
Mckinley Tariff bills. All the Pacific Coast
States and Territories had also been greatly
benefited during a Republican administra-
ton.
Hon. W. w. Morrow was next greeted
with prolonged cheering. He began an in
teresting address by stating that the Repub-
lican party went into existence by fighting
for liberty and the people would fight for
ever for liberty and protection. At this
point he was INTERRUPTED by the appearance
OF the Markham Videttes, who marched
into the building under Captain FL. W. Quit
zow Jr. Three cheers were given for Mr..
Morrow, who in return proposed as many
for the Videttes.
Referring to his work in Congress- Mr..
Morrow said: I'm the last Congress we
worked together. [ object to Clune's re-
election. and my objection is that he is not a
Republican. The increased appropriations
for Sacramento and San Jose was the act of
the Republican party. The party believes
we should have suitable navy, proper coast
defenses and better postal facilities. The
Democratic party DOES not approve of this
work. We are in favor of the very best pub
lie buildings in every portion OF the country.
If a Republican Congress is continued you
will thereby confirm the views of the party
in its policy, aud buildings will be erected
here that will be credit to the city"
TO SECURE GOOD WAGES.
1.-The Republican party is in favor of pro-
tecting the industries of the country for the
purpose of securing good wages for the
workingmen and home market for our
products. Every person shall be prosper
Gus and receive good wages" Then the
speaker related how the home manufacture
ers of tin plate had been shut out by for
eigners because of lack of protection to
the industry During the last seventeen
years S32o,000,00o has been paid to England
for tin plate. The tariff of two cents a
pound on tin, he said, was just enough to
cover the difference between the priee Of
labor in the United States and in Great
Britain. BY making the tin here $40, 600. 900
year would be kept in this country.
Iron and lead mines, cattie-raiSng, pork
packing and chemical works would be bene-
fitted by the home manufacture of tin, and
statistics. were quoted to show that there
is not q single protected industry that has
not caused q reduction in cost. In three
years from now, when the tin manufactures
are running, he predicted that tinware
will be cheaper than ever before. 1t was
time that certain tariffs had been raised,
but this was upon such luXuries as French
champagnes and brandieS and Havana
cigars. Certain tariffs had been reduced, as
a protection tariff must only be placed upon
those things that it is desirable to protect.
OPPONENTS OF THE BILL.
''Those opposed to the Mckinley BILL"
he continued, ''are the manufacturers of
Great Britain and the Democratic party.
Will the bill ever be repealed? No! never.
[Applausel San Francisco ought TO send
Cutting and Loud to Congress with major
ity Of 10000, because it is in the interest Of
the city to do so. You want to vote the
State ticket with Markham for Governor.
l believe he will make an honest efficient
Governor"
Speaking of Markham's opponent he said:
"Our friend Pond offers us the security of
Buckley. The people will say: Buckley is
not good security i'll this State and, Mr..
Pond, you must stand aside.
Miss Daisy May CIessy sang new CAM
paign selection, after which there were
shouts for w. IL. l.. Barnes. Mr.. Barnes
predicted the success of the entire State
ticket ard said that California never had a
more faithful or Jealous member in Congress
than Mr. Morrow. Four years hence the
people of California might say: 'Mr. Nor
row, we want you again"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Barnes remarks
three cheers were given for Markham and
Morrow, and the band played patriotic airs
as the auditors slowly left the building.
