SAN BERNARDINo, Sept. 6.-Considera-
Bile display and enthusiasm accompa-
MED the firing of the initial gun OF the
Republican campaign on Saturday
evening. People came from the sur
rounding towns. and many from more
distant ones, all ready to hurrsh-for
their respective presidential favorites, it
afterwards proved. The procession,
headed and sandwiched by bands from
Ontario, Redlands and San Bernardino,
and displaying banners and Transparent
cies with various appropriate inscrip'
tions, paraded the principal streets be-
fore marching to the pavilion. One
UNIQUE device was pole, bearing
small flag at the top, and below it two
large sheets of tin, presumably from the
Temescal mine, which were made to
sound their applause as the procession
entered the pavilion. At9 o'clock the pro-
cession reached the hall, where many,
both ladies and gentlemen, had been
waiting for more than an hour, admiring
the decorations, into which had been
woven more than the usual amount OF
taste. Draperies of the national colors
made bright the stage, and displayed to
good advantage the pictures OF many OF
Americas great statesmen, both past
and present.
Mr.. Grid chairman of the county GEN.
trail committee, called the meeting to or
der, and introduced Judge Gregg as the
chairman of the evening. Following
Judge Gregg's pleasant Introductory re-
marks was the roll call OF vice presi-
dents, which resulted in filing the plat.
form with the leading Republicans OF
the county.
Hon. W. H. Wilde was the first orator
presented. One might almost have
thought he was a Prohibilionist, from
his plea for the home and family. But
cial standpoint only, and based his
remarks upon the false supposition that
all fathers and husbands shielded their
families from every external ill. But it
is not 70, "pity tits, tits true" He
spoke of the necessity of having wise
law makers, and good officers to enforce
the laws when made, and then proceed
ed to discuss the faults of the opposing
parties. When the Peoples party was
mentioned, there arose such shout that
it seemed as if it's friends proposed to
capture the meeting for themselves.
Hon. w. A. Cheney followed in
earnest, eloquent praise of the Repub-
lican party and it's administration of
the government.
The closing orator was Hon. W. w.
Bowers, who is always welcome guest
to this city.
NOTES.
A ringing of fire bells this afternoon
called people to the northeast portion of

The heroism of Claude Henderson, in
saving Master Charlie Taylor from
drowning, is certainly praisewor.hy.

near the Highland compsny's mill, and
fell into water ten feet deep, but was
rescued by Claude Henderson, after
quite struggle.
The burning rays of the sun at mid
day are Fastening the drying of the
fruit and they also increase the street
car travel, as the change is more keenly
felt because of our late cool weather.
Messrs. G. Moore, Lusby and Dickson,
and two ladies, were immersed in the
Baptist fount on Sunday afternoon. The
peculiar part of the incident was that
two of the gentlemen have long been
members and officials of the First M. E.
church, and they with the others were
immersed because of their convictions
upon the doctrine of baptism, not that
they intended to change their relations
with the church. Rev. G.. w. White
performed the rite.

Sheriff McElvaine, left this morning for
