After several selections bv the city
band, Hon. j. DeBarth Shorb, chairman
OF the Democratic county central COM
mittee, nominated w. H. Workman as
the president of the evening and w. S.
Waters as secretary.
Mr.. Workman in introducing himself,
said that he saw before him great
number of honest Democratic faces, who
always voted for the right men. He
was assured that Pond was as certain of
his election as General Stoneman was
in 1886.
After the reading of the list OF vice
presidents, Mr.. Workman introduced to
the audience James V. Coleman, who
received most enthusiastic cheering,
which was prolonged for several min
utes.
The speaker stated that, without
reference to politics, he desired to say
how much he and his friends appre-
ciated the hospitality extended to them
in this lovely city. He had heard many
kind remarks made concerning Los An
geles in the many places that he had
visited. He believed that Los Angelehos
might not be better Democrats than
those of the north, but they looked like
better Democrats. In the speakers
opinion the time had come when the
lines OF demarcations between political
parties was about to be obliterated. 1t
has been the stock in trade of some Re-
publicans to faunt into our face the
bloody shirt and tell us that it was still
the banner of our country. But we
Democrats can give them an array of
Democratic names of men who fought
during the war on the Union side, and
helped to abolish slavery, such as we
may we'll be proud of. That part of the
Democracy who fought on the side of
the COnfederacy can come today and
hold up the finger of scorn against the
Republican malcontents. A pigmy oc-
cupying a throne is more despicable
object than slave with a heart beating
beneath his rags. The Republican par
ty, he did not intend to say anything
derogatory about on this night. He
believed, however, that there were Re-
publicans at Washington who wanted to
make people believe that their Republi-
canism was that of the whole country,
but If plebiscite were taken today, it
was the speakers opinion, that they
would right then be thrown out of the
positions they now hold.
Mr.. Coleman referred very sarcasti-
cally to Mr.. Reed, the speaker of the
house. whose autocratic ruling, he
scorched with whitening effect.
He next said that when General
Hancock was running for the presidency
he was asked what he thought of the
protective tariff, ,and he answered that it
was purely a local matter. 1t was
thought that the generals defeat was
due to this. But the political school
master had since been abroad and the
people are now alive to the fact that the
tariff question is local one. Mr.. Cole
man referred to the duty on tin as an
instance. This might be good for local
tiles in which tin mines may be discov-
cred, but to what amount would this
protective tax benefit those states who
have no tin mines. He would tell the
audience who it benefited. 1t was the
hounds, called the third house, the lob
byists at Washington, who did the
dirty work for Wall street and the
trusts. The Mckinley bill, which the
house had passed by the aid of Speaker
Reeds rulings, he proclaimed the great
est outrage ever perpetrated son the
American people. The day is
coming when the people will know
that their ballot is more power
full than all the corruption of
Wall street, he said. The speaker de-
voted few more remarks to Reed and
his reelection in Maine, where he had
lost 1857 votes within two years. 1t
runrs n he cSr g is bad eSq been INA, anne
ciated by the people of Reeds state.
