Los Angeles herald., 1892-08-28

with reference to the proposed
debate between Mr.. Estee and
himself, saving that he was anxious TO
debate all the issues OF the day, put
that the Republican committee would
not permit that to be done, knowing
that an exposure of their dishonest at
titude would follow but that he never
theless had accepted the debate upon
their own terms and would meet Mr.;
Estee on the tariff alone. He alluded
to the force bill and to the effort OF the
Republican party to place the election
machinery OF the country in the con-
troll of the dominant organization, and
asked whether any independent and
patriotic citizen would approve OF such
conduct, or could endsnger the country
by supporting a platform such as tnat
adopted at Minneapolis, containing q
promise to attempt the re enactment OF
this nefarious measure.
After MIR. White had closed hi
speech, the audience broke out IN ap-
plause, which lasted for several mo-
ments.
SENATOR DEL vALLE's REMARKS.
Senator Del Vale was the next speak
er introduced by Chairman Denis. He
received warm and cordial reception
from the crowd. The senator touched
in general way on the issues OF the
day, bringing out more prominently
those ideas that the previous speakers
had not touched upon. He pointed out
the fact that the industrial condition OF
depression existing throughout the
country today was due to the existing
legislation now enforced throughout the
land. The only relief was the adoption
OF the principles of the Democratic
party. so ably laid down by Grover
Cleveland.
The speaker paid high compliment
to the Democratic standard bearer, and
every reference to his name met with
uproarous applause.
Senator Del Vale stated that at fu-
ture time be expected to 90 into a dis
cussion of the campaign issues in ex-
tense, and that then he would expose
the many inequalities of the tariff and
the injustice of the force bill.
The senator also referred to local
abuses of power on the part of Repub-
licans, and stated that the people de-
manded remedy, and it was at hand.
The Democratic party proposed to
nominate clean men for office, and they
would be elected. At the close OF his
speech the meeting broke up.
The only unpleasant feature OF the
meeting was the endeavor of few
Republican rowdies to disturbit. If the
police had been on hand and performed
their duty these ours could have been
quieted, but the police were not there.
NOTES.
Some Republican FOUNDERS were on
hand to disturb the meeting, but they
were promptly squelched.
The plain truths of the tariff question
as expounded by Mr.. White caught the
crowd.
To speak from the court house steps
is no easy matter, but the speakers made
acoustic properties that the open air
possesses.
w. A. Ryan, who was to have spoken
at Long Beach last evening. will address
the citizens of that beautiful little resort.
There were great many Republicans
in the crowd last evening. They heard
something that, while it was not entire
ly new to them, opened their eyes.
The attempt of certain Republicans to
break up the meeting last night, was
certainly most ungentlemanly endeav-
or of few louts to disturb a public
! gathering. 1t is q sample of Republican
tactics, frequently brought into use in
this county to drown public sentiment.
The crowd waited for Senator Del
Vale, and they were amply repaid.
When the meeting was disturbed last
evening by few rowdies, the police
were conspicuous for their absence.
There were many workingmen in the
crowd of spectators. The speakers very
forcibly told them some of the benefits
! which they derive from the protective
| tariff--in their minds.
| Every mention of the name of Grover
Cleveland was received with uproarious
applause.
There was quite number of Peoples
party advocates on hand last night, and
| they heard the true doctrine.
A number of ladies were included in
the audience in front of the court house
steps last night. Chairs were given to
them all and they were most interested
spectators.
Anybody who thinks that the Peo-
ple's party has swallowed up the
Democracy of Ventura county should
have been at Ventura last night. If he
had seen the intelligent audience at the
Armory he would have had his mind
thoroughly disabused of the idea.
After hearing Mr.. Whites remarks
last evening, it is difficult to see how
any true Southern Californian can vote
to send Republican assemblvmeh or
senator to the state legislature this yenr.
