ocratic Austerlitz and Republican Wa
terloo.
Look at the result in our own state
and county. At the last presidential
election California had to content her
cell In sackcloth and ashes with over
I0O0 Republican majority against us.
NOW 1t ls not only in doubt, but fair
count OF an honest ballot will place her
IN the Democratic column. And in our
, own county at the same election we had
to content ourselves with the consola-
lation afforded by the election OF the
Hon. Michael Whaling as school trus-
tee. Now we have ten out OF twenty
three county and precinct officers. with
q congressman thrown in and United
States senator assured in the person of
our own Stephen NJ. White. And next
time, with our own strength, and by tie
grace and assistance OF indens ndent
voters and our Republican allies, we
will destroy the Union League incorpo.
rated oligarcy, and sweep the new court
house clean from the new granite walls
that surround it to the wooden roof
above it,
This is indeed time of Thanksgiving
and rejoicing. l believe it ia now as it
was in the beginning that God created
all things for the good of his people.
And as it was necessary in the prepare
tory stages to tune nature to the coming
man, go closer still does Providence sp-
proach us in the political affairs of our
country, 'For by him kings reign and
princes decree judgment" Certainly
this has been most forcibly demon
strated in the present triumphant cam
paign when that Moses of Democracy
Grover Cleveland, has led the people OF
the United States from out bondage
more intolerable than that placed on
the children of Israel. Aye, indeed a
bondage, and in this nineteenth cen
tury.
But, ladies and gentlemen, will not
detain you longer from the treat in
store for you from the eloquent gentle
men to follow me, but close by saying
While the victory is ours, let us learn
how to use the victory and keep the
trust. Over 1000 years ago the earth
was washed with the regenerating waters
of destroying flood. Its swollen tide
subsided, and the avenging waters re-
turned to their appointed place. The
earth again stood forth in virgin strength
and with promises inviting and grand
And l believe that the regeneratine
waters of this political tidal wave which
has swept across this continent will beal
upon it's swelling bosom that grand old
craft, our ship of state, manned as sht
has not been in years. with Grover
Cleveland in command and Adlai Steven
son next in rank. By them she will be
safely guided from off the rocks and
shoals that menaced her, and sai
proudly to her destiny.
But the salient point to bear in mind
is that it is the people who have placed
them in command, and to the people
shall they have to render their account
R.F. DEL VALE.
R. F. Del Vale made brief but elo'
quent address. in which he said that
like some of the other orators he had
blown his horn considerably before the
meeting and would not detain them long.
The Democratic platform at Chicago
stated that Republican protection was q
fraud, and on the 9th day of November,
1892. the people of the United States by
100000 popular votes have reiterated the
sentiments OF that platform.
| They had met to ratify the great vic
tory. The people of California have 6
direct interest in the result. For thu
first time the state will have a senato
in congress in the person of Hon
Stephen M. White.
The Democracy has the president ant
vice-president, the senate and lowe
house and will be enabled to inaugural
the laws which they consider essentia
to the progress of the country.
They fully recognize the responsible
ties that have been placed on the Demo
cratic party. The party is victory o
the people. As such he hoped congress
and the powers of the executive depart
ment would further the prosperity o
the greatest republic under the sun.

honor done the German Democrats hy

J. DE BARrH SHoRB.
J.De Barth Shorb, upon being intro
duced, said he came before them t.
thank them for the expression of conf
dence they had shown him on the da,
of election. 1t would have been improp
er toimake pledges before the election
but he could now cay that he woul,
promise that as far as his office is con

the perquisites of the Office, but b.
