Notes.

Hon. Irving M. Scott, the millionaire
iron baron of San Francisco, delivered {
political address at Turnverein hall las
evening under the auspices of the Re
publican county central committee.
| 1t was about 8 p. m. when a fife anG
drum corps marched through the mair
streets of the city. 1t was followed by
a carriage, in which was seated the
speaker of the evening", Col. John n
Brooker, Hon. j. s. Slauson and Chailel
| Silent. The carriage was followed by
the Lincoln Flambeau club and the
First Voters Republican club. Thil
constituted the Republican parade.
| Upon arrival at Turnverein hall it wat
found there were about 200 voters in the
hall, and some of these were excited
only by curiosity and did not come tc
hear. They left the hall before the
meeting closed.
Hon. J. S. Slauson acted as chairman
of the evening He introduced the
speaker, Hon. Irving M. Scott. Mr.
Scott received hearty welcome. He
spoke for about an hour and half on
the Republican doctrine. He dwell
mainly upon the principle OF protection,
his argument being in the usual Repub-
lican channels.
The remarks of the speaker, while
they were very clever, were coolly re-
ceived by his auditors. Mr.. Scott could
not bring out the enthusiasm that was
not there any more than he could bring
blood from turnip.
LARGE MEETING AT SAN PEDRO.
The largest meeting ever held at San
Pedro by any political party occurred last
Friday evening under the auspices OF
the Democrats of that city. The large
hall was not sufficiently large to seat all
those present. The greatest enthusiasm
for the ticket, both national and county,
prevailed, and more attentive audi
ence never assembled at q political
meeting. The Democrats of San Pedro
naturally feel very ju oilant at this re-
markable showing, and have every con-
fidence of rolling up at the coming cleo
tion a magnificent majority for the
entire ticket, and, as one staunch Re-
publican puts it, "We are tired of the
mismaDagement of the Union League,
.and we will strenuously endeavor to rid
ourselves OF them for the next two
years."
Mr.. John G. Maher acted as president
of the evening, and gave the greatest
satisfaction as presiding officer. Mr..
II. D. Williams officiated as secretary.
The vice-presidents were: E. Amar,
E. Jordan, j. Dodson, G. T. Leighton,
w. Richtwig, ]. Gully, 1. Moore, j. s.
Wallace, j. Pearce, F. L. Schilling, s.
G. White. John Jensen, Lewis Ander-
son, R. Hillyer, f. Midwald, j. A.
Weldt, DR.. Hill and VIM. Hunter.
Hon. T. E. Gibbon made the opening
address of the evening, and minutely
entered into and fully explained the
gross mismanagement and wasteful
extravaganza of the Republican party
in this county for the past two years,
after which he compared the candidates
respectively for the county offices, on
both the Republican and Democratic
tickets, much to the disparagement oi
the Repu blicans.
After Mr.. Gibbon had entertained and
instructed the audience for about one
hour the county candidates were intro.
duced in the following order: Martin O.
Marsh for sheriff. w. B. Cullen for
county clerk, Henry B. Belt for recorder,
F. B. Colver for Auditor, E E. Hewitt
for tax collector, W. B. Scarborough for
administrator, ]. H. Brewer for super.
visor, T. J. Kerns for assembly and J.
DeBarth Shorb for county treasurer.
Mr.. Shorb received an ovation from the
audience, which feel under great obliga.
tions to him for having been their cham
pion in favor of deep-sea harbor at San
Pedro. Mr.. Shorb also dwelt at some
length on the county affairs. After pre-
sentation of the candidates, Hon. M. E.
G. Munday presented his views on the
national issues and the meeting wound
up with three rousing cheers for the
winning national ticket, Cleveland and
Stevenson.
GOING TO REDoNDo.
Hon. ]. Marion Brooks has received a
communication fir ON large number of
Democrats of Redondo Beach, request
ing him to address the Democracy of
that town on Tuesday, the 25th instant.
The invitation has been accepted, and
the Redondo Democrats will certainly
be highly entertained, as Brooks has
but few equals in the etate as an expoup-
der of Jeffersonian Democracy.
