MIR. WHITES ADDRESS.
Chairman Skinner next addressed the
speaker of the evening, who spoke as
| follows:
Since last stood upon this platform
it has been my fortune to have been en-
gagged in irving to instill in the minds OF
the voters OF this state that it is to their
interests to elect to the presidency and
to the vice-presidency of the United
States Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Steven
son. [Cheers.l
have tried to make fair appeal in
an bipartisan manner and as an Amer
ican citizen to American citizens. But
| shall not at this late hour go into o
lengthy discussion of the national
Issues, hut rather confne my remarks
largely to county and state questions. |
wish to direct your attention first to
state affairs.
The last legislature OF California was
largely Republican; in fact, the major
ity was overwhelming. 1t is universally
conceded that the state was never 30
misrepresented. So open and unbiush-
ing was the conduct of large majority
of the Republican members, that the
whole institution has passed into history
as "the legislature of q thousand scan
dsls.' The few Democrats who were
members of that body nearly all de-
ported themselves honestly and consci-
entiously. The causes which led to the
election of the Legislators who so dis
graced themselves are not difficult of
ascertainment. A senatorial candidate
put money into the contest and secured
pledges of support from his candidates,
and very naturally those who were
elected under euch auspices found
themselves incapable OF transacting the
| business of the state properly or
respectfully. If Republican legisla-
ture is elected this year its
conduct will be equally reprehensible.
Let us assume for the sake OF argument
| that Republican candidates who are
chosen from Los Angeles county are in
dividually what they ought to be. 1t is
certain that there are large number OF
disreputable men running in this state
upon the Republican ticket for the
legislature, and at least four-ffths of the
candidates are pledged to Mr.. De Young.
The delegation from San Francisco,
which will be composed of 18 assembly
men and four senators, are all pledged
absolutely to De Young and have been
nominated by Kelly and Crimmins, the
proprietors of No. 16 Third street, who
are the manipulators of the Republican
delegation of the metropolis.
The San Francisco Call has very clear
ly shown that not one of the San Fran
cisco nominees is fit in any respect for
the position to which he aspires. One
of the candidates is Jack Martin, the
keeper of the Bella Union dive, one of
the lowest resorts of the metropolis.
One of the candidates for the assembly
served term in the house of correction,
and the others are but little, if any,
better.
One would think that Southern Cali
fornia had been treated unjustly in this
senatorial matter long enough to de-
mand change, and yet, outside of the
Democl attic party, there is no possibility
in that direction. The delegation from
this county, if Republican, will OF
course give it's first preference to local
candidate, but this will be merely "hon-
orable mention" When the real work
is done they will be compelled to vote
for the candidate of the San Francisco
bosses. Their choice will necessarily be
the choice of Jack Martin of the Bella
Union dive. In San Francisco most
respectable and prominent Republicans
have rebelled against this iniquity, and
have determined to support the Demo-
cratic ticket as the only solution OF the
present embarrassment. So in Santa
Clara county find there is large Re-
publican club, headed bv Judge Spencer,
