The morning call., 1892-06-11
AT THE PAVILION.
The Nominees Enthusiastically Iadorsed
Stirring Addresses.

Francisco, assembled in the Mechanics
Pavilion last night, sent ringing across the
continent the welcome yell of satisfied Re
publicans telling to the East, North and
South, as well as to the West, that Calfor-
MIA was still in the Republican column OF
States and for the nominee OF the party,
Benjamin Harrison.
The ratification meeting was a success
beyond the fondest hopes of the most
saDguine Of the Republican leaders in this
city.
They had but a few hours in which to
work. but events proved that work was not
needed. The rank and file OF the party, the
great mass Of Intelligent voters, did not
need rallying.
They only wanted tor know where and
when the ratification was to be held.
Whatever may have been the preferences
or the differences in the ranks Of the Repub-
liean party before the nomination they were
wiped out and forgotten when the conyen-
tioD at Minneapolis. by it's magnificent vote
decided to again place the standard Of pre-
lection to American labor in the hands of
the man who for almost four years has
guarded it so jealously and so well.
The few hours in which the Republicans
had to work after the news of the nomina-
Sioh woo OOHAl lClb dlCAi Nv ~ uCb-
crate the Mechanics Pavilion, where the
ratification meeting was held, much less
arrange for street decorations or illumina-
tions.
THE SPEAKERS STAND.
In the pavilion a speakers stand was
erected about midway of the main ball on
tie left and draped with American flags.
In the fcstoons of the flags around the
Z
Grant Garfield, Arthur and Blaine. Above
the stand on the facade of the balcony, was
a festoon Of flags around the portrait of
President Harrison. and at the end Of the
hall, stretched above the music-stand, was
banner bearing the ticket selected at Min
neaD0lis.
Long before the parade started on its
march all the seats in the pavilion were
filed, leaving only the open floor for the
hundreds OF men in the march of clubs.
During tine walt for the arrival of the pro-
cession the Park Band, placed near the
speakers stand, entertained the waiting
people with popular airs.
Silk flags we're distributed among the
ladies of the audience during the wait and
additional standards placed about the hall.
The assemblage was at once a most or
derly and patient one, but they made up
for their Quietness in ample measure once
the cheering began.
1t was after o'clock when the members
of the Morrow Club, in their new uniforms,
headed by band. entered the main door
way.
With one accord the people broke into
cheers, and from that time on until order
was d manded by the chairman of the even
ing, the hall resOunded and re-echoed with
the shouts of the thousands assembled TO
do honor to the nations ruler and their
chosen champion.
The march of the clubs into the Pavilion
was accomplished with marvellous celerity
considering the great number vf people to
be handled, and just how great the parade
was no one realized until they undertook to
pack the men in the line of march into the
Pavilion.
A CROWDED HALL.
They found the hall far too small to ac-
eommodate, with even standing room, those
who wanted to be present. and as a result
more than one club was ordered to parade
the streets during the meeting and visit the
places where demonstrations had been made
during the parade.
Judge w. ]. Fitzgerald. chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee, called
the great meeting to order.
His appearance at the front of the speak
ers' stand was a signal for prolonged cheer
ing. followed by cheer after cheer for
Harrison and Reid.
By this time there had gathered on tn
speakers stand the leading Republicans
the city and county. Among them were
