AMONG POLITICIANS.
Senator Stanford Received by the
Union League Club.
Enthusiastic Meeting at the Wigwam-Bar-
row Tells of His Work in Congress-Per-
ularity Of the Reform Movement


were decorated tastefully with ferns and
flowers, and the pleasure of the evening was
completed by the sweet strains of music
from string band under the leadership Of
Louis Won der Mehden.
at 9:45 o'clock Senator Stanford arrived
He made tour Of the rooms in company
with w. II. Chamberlain. the genial Presi-
dent Of the club. In ono of the reception
rooms the chaperone halted his distinguished
companion, and for over one hour the as
sembly moved in line past the Senator and
exchanged friendly greetings with him.
In formally introducing the guest of the
evening, Mr.. Chamberlain stated that when
the East and West were connected by
bands of steel Governor Stanford was tine
controlling power in the great work. He
said that Mr.. Stanford has always been a
Californian at heart and Californian in
his deeds, and is at present giving to this
State the proud distinction of possessing the
greatest educational institution IN the
world, in which Mrs. Stanford is ably taking
her part. The speaker ended by asserting
that for what Senator Stanford has done and
is doing for California the Union League
Club has rendered him the present honor.
(Cheers.)
GLAD TO MEET FRIENDS.
Senator Stanford said that he was glad to
come home and glad to meet his Republican
and Democratic friends. In late years he
had come to the conclusion that it is not
politics altogether but patriotism that he
lonsed to the people of this country. He
considered the Democrats good people, but
liable to great many errors. Laughter.]
Referring to his recent visit 10 Europe,
he said that the greatest extravaganza there
is in the waste of labor owing to crude ap-
pliauces. While acknowledging that the
standing armies are tremendous burden
on the people, he did not believe them to be
q greater evil than the waste of labor. He
found Russia stepped in ignorance and the
people poor and distressed. He discerned a
great difference between the resident Of
Northern and Southern Italy, inasmuch as
compulsory education had been conducted
in the North for several years, resulting i'll
wonderful Improvement Of the people OF
that section over those of the South.
In comparing the progress OF European
countries be classed England first, Belgium
next, then France and Italy. In the latter
country he said laboring men are paid ten
cents a day. de found that where the best
and greatest quantity of machinery is in
operation. there ceptered the greatest
amount of wealth. He was satisfied that
the wages of men will be according to their
power of production.
Contrasting Europe with the United States,
ne directed attention to New England,
where, although the farming land is exceed
ingly poor, there are people very rich in
capital. lie claimed that the reason there
for is owing TO the intelligence Of the people
and their wonderfully inventive faculties.
ONE AND THE SAME THING.
Touching upon the Blair bill. he remarked
thst the possibilities OF humanity and the
beneficence OF the creator are one and the
same thing. The schools are the great me-
dunn of the development of intelligence,
and Mrs. Stanford and himself are more de-
teimined than ever to insure the success
OF PalO Alto University at an early date.
The speaker expressed his belief that to
secure life, liberty and happiness good gov
ernment is necessary, aud enlarging upon
that statement lie very truthfully asserted
that the Republican party is composed very
largely OF the intelligence of the people of
the United States.
1t believes in common schools and prog
TeSs, and it Is the misfortune Of the Demo-
cratic party TO believe TO the contrary
simply because it does not yet understand
the principles Of our Government, although
gradually being educated TO them Cheers. !
He said that the French have been 100
years in learning that liberty does not mean
license. lie then thanked the club for the
honor done him, and repeated that he was
very glad 10 be home again.
