MORE POLITICAL SPEECHES.
The Republican Candidates Have An
other 0pen-Air Meeting.
The Democrats at Twelfth and G
Streets-The Campaign Has Grown
Red-Hot - General Notes.

The Republican candidates held another
lively open-air meeting last night-this
time at Eighteenth and NJ streets.
There was good attendance and plenty
OF enthusiasm, and two big bontires. The
speakers stand was nicely decorated and
lighted with lanterns.
Lincoln White called the asseublage to
order, and announced that 0. w. Erie
wine would preside, and that Z. Z. Whar-
ton would act as Secretary.
Mr.. Erlewine made a patriotic speech
in taking the chair, and then introduced
the first speaker, Hon. Z. c. Hart, candi-
date for the State Senate. Mr.. Hart was
eloquent as usual and captured the audi
ence by storm. He said that during the
six weeks Of campaigning he had eXerted
himself chiefly for the entire Republican
ticket, from Benjamin Harrison down.
He had wasted little time advanc-
ing his own claims. While he
was, OF course, as much Interested as any
one else on the ticket, he had been un-
selfish, and had advanced the interests Of
other candidates more than his own. He
wanted the Fourth Warders to spread
themselves once more on Tuesday as
they had so many times before. Nobody
could doubt the loyalty Of that ward TO
the Republican party. But he wanted
them to vote the whole ticket. Referring
to the Peoples party, Mir. Hart SAID he
had nothing 10 say against those who
made up the bulk of the party. lie
knew that there was many good man in
it, But they had been deluded into be-
lieving that the new party was going to
work certain reforms. The fact OF the
matter was, however, that the Peoples
party was simply q scheme to Gown the
Republican party, and he hoped that
those who had been led astray would see
the error Of their way and refuse to be q
party to the piracy.
Mr.. Hart then retired amid cheers. The
Chairman then introduced Henry j..
Buckley, candidate for Police Judge. Mr..
Buckley said none knew better than he
the responsibilities attached to the Office
he was seeking. He had filled 1t before
and believed he had given good admin
istration. Ii reelected he would promise
to be just to all, as he had in the past-he
would do the best he knew how, and that
was all any man could say. He was
proud of his past record as District At
torney and Police Judge, and dehed any
body to point out a dishonest or dis
honorable act in it. He asked the support
of all electors, no matter OF what political
faith, and promised that, with his knowl-
Cup6 Oh lu6 law dllu Il pIOpcI 1tssllu IOI
his oath of office, he could give u good
administration.
R. T. Devlin, candidate for Superior
Judge, was next introduced. He spoke
briefly. He said he did not believe in
candidates for Judicial offices making
lengthy partisan speeches. a mans
political ideas and preferences should
have nothing to do with his quail
ification for a judicial position. He
thought he could I'LL the Office he sought
at least he would do the best he could,
and be faithful to the trust reposed in
him. He had been born, raised and edu-
Gated in Sacramento; had practiced law
here for twelve years. All he had and
hoped to have was in Sacramento. lie,
like all other men, had an aspiration III
life, and he believed the opportunity was
at hand to have it gratihed.
District Attorney Frank Ryan, who is
candidate for reelection, spoke next.
and was enthusiastically received. He
devoted most of his remarks to other can
didates on the ticket rather than himself.
He said he was greatly gratiied at being
placed on ticket made up OF such noble
and honorable men. The whole ticket
should be elected. 1t was a ticket of
Americans, being made up of men who
had the interests of this great nation at
heart.
After speeches by George G. McMullen,
NJ. A. Howard, S. B. Smith and J. L.
Butler-all of whom were received with
cheers-the meeting adjourned.
