rns Parade was sickIy Failure, But
5000 Members of the G. o. p.
Listened to Mckinley Tariff
Raf ad Nauseam.

The Republican campaign was opened
last evening at Hazards pavilion. Ii
the enthusiasm of the crowd that turned
out last night is any indication to be
governed by the famous Republican ma.
iority in this county, Of which 30 much
has been said and written, it will in future
prove to be minus quantity. The pa
rade was complete fizzle. There were
not one hundred men in line. They
marched down street like funeral pro-
cession to the pavilion. A band lead it.,
which was followed closely by carriages
containing the speakers OF the evening.
Some misguided young men carrying
pampas plumes came next, and then a
flambeaux club of twenty-five members.
This was the Republican parade.
When the pavilion was reached it was
found that 5000 people had assembled,
including many ladies. In the galleries
there were plenty Of empty seats, as we'll
as on the floor.
THE MEETING OPENED.
General E. P. Johnson opened the
meeting at s O'Clock with few brief re-
marks as to who the speakers of the
evening were.
General Johnson first introduced Gov
ernor Markham, who was received with
applause. He acted as president Of the
evening, and after quiet was restored
the governor made brief speech, going
into the history of the Republican party,
to which he referred with pride that
sweiled with wisdom.
Governor Markham asserted that the
Democrats were attempting to lead the
people to believe that the tariff was a
tax. This was not so, and there were
speakers present who would prove the
fact. He predicted victory in November
for the party which he ead had record
unsurpassed, and O candidate of unques-
toned integrity. The governors talk
failed to elicit any overwhelming en-
thusiasm.
The band played, and then Hervey
Lindley was presented. Mr.. Lindley
spoke briefly as follows:
HERvEY's SPEECH.
Mr.. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLE
MEN: Having received the nomination
for congress in this district. the people
are interested in, and have right to
know, my views upon all matters affect
ing their welfare and prosperity. My
distinguished friends here will discuss
ably and eloquently the tariff and other
party questions. In the few remarks l
shall make will be outlined the general
policy that will govern me should I be
elected.
my early years were spent on farm,
and later. while still young, engaged
IN the lumber business, and continued
in that for about sixteen years, until
coming to Los Angeles. / made some
money by hard work, economy and
close attention to business. Since my
residence here I have been actively
employed in business pursuits.
Gas my whole life has been devoted
to such affairs, my ideas and estimates
of the needs of the country are from a
practical, rather than an emotional or
fanciful standpoint.
"The group of states and territories
comprising New Mexico, Utah, Arizona
and California, containing territory and
resources enough for mighty empire,
is largely dependent upon harbor facili-
ties yet to be constructed in California
for its future prosperity and develop
ment. Sparcely inhabited, in its in
fancy, there are already many we'll i'm
proved ranches, vineyards. and decidu-
Gus and citrus orchards owned and
cultivated successfully by intelligent
and industrious citizens who are
constantly giving object lessons
of the superior producing qualities of
the land. There are many rich mines,
not the least of which are the petroleum
and asphaltum in this district. These
and other sources of wealth, are encour-
aging, and phenomenal as beginnings,
but for proper and future improvement,
some way must be found to increase the
value of the products of the forest, farm,
vineyards, orchards, mines and factories.
The way apparently to accomplish this
most desirable object, assuming the
general government will continue to
foster and protect these various inter-
as every cent saved in the carriage of
products adds to their value in the
hands OF the producer.
SIN the interests of the commerce OF
the United States generally, and espec-
tally of the Pacific coast, the Nicaragua
canal should be constructed q. the earli-
est practicable moment.
competing transcontinental and
other lines of railway should be con-
structed and operated.
'The harbors of this district should
be improved generously by the con-
struction of breakwaters and such other
protection to shipping as may be neces-
aary in the respective localities, for the
speedy, safe and economical reception
and discharge of passengers and freight.
''The present government buildings
are entirely inadequate to the needs of
this city, and liberal appropriations
should be made to secure suitable &C.
commodation foi the various depart
ments of the government service.
Congress should deal generously
with the soldiers homes at Santa Mon
lea and elsewhere, as there can be no
debt more sacred than that due the de-
tenders of the country, and no object
more worthy than to provide, care for,
