Candidates Address the People at the
Old Pavilion.
There was fairly good attendance at
the Pavilion, including many ladies,
when the procession arrived there and
disbanded. What the crowd lacked in
numbers it made up for with enthusiasm,
for it was without doubt the noisiest
meeting of the campaign. Every candi-
date was cheered to the echo.
\. j. Johnston, Chairman of the County
Central Committee, called the meeting to
order, and made short speech. He con-
gratnlated the Republicans of the county
on the brightness of the outlook for big
victory next Tuesday. He also compli-
mented the Republican candidates on the
clean, manly, and decent campaign they
had made. Mr.. Johnston then Introduced
Ed +. Taylor, the Chairman of the meet
ing.
Mr.. Taylor only said a few words, and
then called for Robert 7. Devlin, candi-
date for Superior Judge. Mr.. Devlin said
lhe supposed most voters had by this time
thoroughly made up their minds as to
how they are going to vote on Tuesday
next, and he was also satisfied that ma
jority of them were going to vote the Re-
publican ticket. Referring to his own
claims he said he felt ditfident on that
subject as it was hardly proper for
political topics. A mans political ideas
should not have anything to do with his
qualifications for a judicial office. The
Republican convention had nominated
him him unanimously for the vacancy on
the Superior bench. caused by the resig-
nation of Judge Van Fleet, and he hoped
, he would be elected. II the people should
so declare, he promised that he would do
his best and would never give the people
cause to regret their choice.
Chairman Taylor next introduced Hon.
i. G. Hart, candidate for the State SEN
ate, who was received with tumultous
applause. Mr.. Hart said the campaign
had been hard fought one on the part of
the Republican candidates. They had
maintained a dignitied campaign, too,
and had resorted to nothing improper.
They were all tired and no doubt were
glad that the end is near. Taking up the
issues of the day, MIR. Hart said he was
satisfied that every voter had thoroughly
informed himself on the great question
which divides the Democratic and Re-
publican parties, and it would be waste
TOf breath for him to talk tariff to them
He hoped that those who had been car
'ried away with the promises of the new
Peoples party, had ere this seen the trick
that had been perpetrated upon them.
The mine had been sprung too soon, and
the new party now stood out in its true
colors-a tool of the Democratic party.
she Republican party, but it would be
failure. The people were too intelligent
nowadays to be caught in any such
.''snap." Referring to his own candi-
dacy Mr.. Hart said he had refrained
until this occasion from speaking of him
self, and would not do so now only that
he felt compelled to. 1t had been pub
lished and talked about that he was
pleged to vote for NJ. Ii. de Young for
United States Senator, and he desired
now to state that he was absolutely un-
pledged to any man, and was opposed
TO de Young. If elected he would serve
the people the best he could. He would
sbe careful of their interests, and prom
Used that he would never stoop to any
act that would be improper. Mr.. Hart
concluded with an eloquent tribute to
Republicanism, and eXhorted all voters
10 be loyal to that party.
Major w. A. Anderson was the next
speaker. The gallant Major opened up
with poetic tribute to the ladies present
and got himself into their good graceS
right Oft. Without their assistance and
influence, he said, no cause could win
and he was thankful that the ladies as a
rule were with the Republican party. He
predicted that next Tuesdays battle of
ballots would end in a grand victory for
the republican party. The Major de-
voted considerable of his remarks to the
cause of labor, and said that every labor
party, for 1t Is the party that has his in
1erests at heart, and stands between him
and low wages, poverty and deslituuon.
AS the Major warmed up he went alter
the Citizens Association, and defied them
10 defeat him. He said: "They can cir
culate dirty street circulars till they get
tired, but they can't beat Aleck Ander-
son. He's too well known here, and his
principles are too well known" Regard
ing his choice tor United States Senator,
the Major said he was for George G. Per-
kins.
III. Clay Chipman, candidate for the
Assembly from the Twenty District
had a sore throat, and did not speak to
any length. He simply said that If sent
to the Legislature he would serve the peo-
ple the best he knew how. He would
look out for the interests of Sacramento'S
new charter, would guard the State text
books from the inroads OF the school-book
ring, and would be careful about all legis-
lation in general.
District Attorney Frank d. Ryan, who
desires to be reinstated, made an eloquent
effort. He said he could not see any rea-
son why the Government should be taken
out of the hands of the Republican party.
The latter was the party OF the people; it
was the party that had the interests of
Americans at heart, and would not sell
out to any other nation. Benjamin
Harrison had given an able and noble
administration, anu dS one SOOu tSi u
deserves another" should be reelected.
The people realized that the Democratic
party was not the party for them, and
had kept it out of power for more than
two decades. Mr.. Ryan spoke good
word for all the candidates. Regarding
his own claims he said he could only
point to his record and promise to con-
tinue as he had in the past two years,
only endeavoring to improve as much as
possible with the additional experience
he would have.
Henry L. Buckley, candidate for Po-
lice Judge, was received with cheers. He
