dplllty anu ClldfdCUer ol Ce1dUOr Del
Vale, the. honored son of this southern
land, are so well known to you
that / need only mention his
name to suggest your approval of his
nomination. The other nominees on
the state ticket are men of experience,
ability and integrity, worthy OF your
fullest confidence. The people there
fore at this time have not only the
pledges of our platform to guaranty re-
lief to the overburdened tax payers and
other measures embraced in it, but they
also have the assurances that these
pledges will be carried into effect because
the candidates on this platform are tried
and faithful servants of the people
men whose careers are stronger than
platforms and promises.
And, fellow citizens, from all portions
of the state come assurances of the pop
ular support OF the ticket. The party
is united and confident and independ-
ent voters, who believe in voting for men
who have been tried, for men whose de-
votion to the people has been shown in
the tempting trials of office, are joining
with us and assuring us sweeping VIC
tory in November.
From all classes-the laboring men,
the employers, the tax-paying producers,
and the merchants, bring you enthus-
iastic promises of success. And in your
stirring cheers and the aggressive con-
tidence about me, l feel there is victory
assured.
On this occasion I shall be able to
make but a brief stay among you, but at
later time hope to renew these asso-
Citations and remain longer with you.
After selection by the city band,
,ah id ont, ~,
front of the stage, Mr.. H. G. Dillon, of
farmer who wished to be heard" He
said "Fellow citizens, from the hills OF
Santa Barbara and Ventura counties
with their wealth of olives and lima
beans from the hills of Los Angeles
county, where the Pond lily blooms
and the last rose of summer
fades away from the county of Orange,
with its golden harvest; from the sunny
fountains of San Bernardino county, and
from San Diego, with its golden sands,
come the farmers with their tributes to
Pond and Del Vale. This splendid
meeting is forecast of the glorious vic
tory in store for them. Wherever the
name of Pond is known in this state, it
is sufficient guarantee that the peoples
money is spent for the benefit of the peo-
pie to whom it belongs, and not for
himself. There is Pond spoken of in
holy writ, in which all the blind, halt,
lame, and diseased who dipped were
rendered whole. When the Ides of
November come round, we shall find
the blind, halt, lame and diseased Of
the Republican party focking to our
Pond, and we promise them that they
shall find it large and clean enough to
wash out all their infrmities.
In conclusion let me again speak
for the farmers who not only
bring to our candidates the trib-
ute of their toll, but also the promise
of their labors in the coming campaign.
Let us all work together for the good of
our state"
The city band having rendered an
other selection, the Hon. R. f. Del
widest enthusiasm, the vast audience
rising to their feet as one man and way
ing hats, canes and arms frantically in
the air. AS the noise subsidized some
what Ex-senator Del Vale commenced
his address as follows:
'Mr. chairman, ladies and fellow
citizens: Tonight l come before you to
present to you the result of the labors
which in conjunction with the other
Democrats, | was sent to San Jose to
perform. Therefore as delegate of the
Democratic party l appear before you,
and as proof of the fact that | con-
slider it we'll done.
Fellow citizens, l can clearly see to-
night that that enthusiastic jollification,
that those cheers which could not be
controlled at San Jose, when Hon. E. B.
Pond was nominated, have received a
respons in this southern part OF the
state, and give us knowledge of the
victory that is in store for us. l do not
propose tonight to discuss the issues Of
the day, because they are many, inter
esting and difficult to curtail. But l
do not propose to discuss like our
Republican friends whether or not
Mr.. Reed decided a parlia-
mentary question correctly Gap
plause) l do not intend this
campaign to discuss the question as to
whether or not Blaine is a great man.
The questions l shall touch on are OF
vital Importance to the people of this
state. Two years from now we shall
have the tariff question before us, and
then we shall meet tie foe face to face
and discuss national issues. We shall
stand upon the same platform then as
now. a.
Today we are confronted in this tate
with issues that affect this COM
monwealth only. This is a time
when we should discuss only those
questions that affect our house
hold. The main one of these is this
shall we have for the first executive in
the chair man who shall be endowed
with extraordinary ability and intelli-
gence,, who shall be in favor OF retrench-
ment, and who is cognizant of the neces-
sites of the state? or shall we i'm
port a man, who when be visits
the metropolis say to everyone,
"Come, let me shake hands with and
know you, for feel like stranger in
strange land, and Pm so lonely"' loud
and continued applause.) Thank God,
the day has arrived when we can find
men who have lived in our state for
twenty-five years, and are born and
welded to her interests. Fellow citi-
zens, the Democratic party has present
ed to you for the coming campaign man
pledged to nothing but the principles of
the Democratic platform, and particu-
larly to the plank of retrenchment. He
is too modest to tell you himself that as
mayor ofSan Francisco he has practised
it to such degree that the citizens of
that great city swear by him. have
been among all grades OF society during
