The cards were especially elaborate
and were designed by Mr.. H. N. Latham
and Mr.. Dan Freeman. Everything on
the list was product OF California.
After each course was verse express
ing some sentiment apropo to either the
wines or the food.
On the reverse side was the list of
toasts and speakers. In one corner WAS
robust gentleman speaking from o
chair, while in the opposite was another
jolly-looking banqueter.
A few minutes past 10 O'Clock Mr.. Dan
Freeman arose and raped for order.
Gentleman" he said. Il take excep-
ton to my picture on the menu card.
1t is not necessary for me to mount
chair in the first place, and in the sec
ond the fellow in the picture has cork
leg, and | am not built that way.

1.-THE picture in the opposite corner OF
Judge Slauson making away with the
napkins and whisky is entirely correct.
Laughter.
81 take pleasure in introducing to you
Mr.. 7. E. Gibbon as the first speaker,
and who will respond to the toast, The
President OF the United States" Jap
plause.
Mr.. Gibbon, after a pleasant allusion
to the gentleman presiding. said
when my friend Major Klokke asked
me to reply to this toast, | told him
that | thought 1t was too heavy sub
ject for me to handle. In fact, declared
that did not feel equal to it, either
mentally or physically.
HE said all that would be necessary
was to indulge in little spread-eagle
and then ait down.
Gentlemen, it is the custom of this
country to regard the public officials,
from the chief executive down, with
too much laxity. We are in the habit

Grover while if he were here we would
call him Mr.. Cleveland.
MANY jokes have been made at the
expense OF the chief executives, but /
believe that the most numerous Jokes
and funny things that have been perpe-
trated at the expense Of any administra-
tions have been at the past two. The
cartoons OF the comic papers, especially
those OF Judge on the stuffed prophet,
have been the most notable of the kind
in political history.
81 will relate joke on the past ad-
intimidation which heard in Washing
ton and which is too good to be sup-
pressed.
ut was when the sun of the admin
istrstioh WAS setting and, as you know,
there were many Republicans who were
dissatisfied with the course it has been
pursuing. A prominent Republican
senator went to President Harrison with
the request that certain man be APP
pointed to an Office. The president said
that it was impossible to make the an.
pointment. But, SIR was the reioinder
OF the senator, I have promised it, and
this appointment must be- made. made
you president SIR
"The president calmly placed his
hands across his ice chest and re.
piled: No cir, you did not; God made
me president OF the United States
The senator could think OF nothing
to reply and left. On the street he met
Col. Bobert Ingersoll who, as you know,
has taken liberties with HE Satanic
majesty and other notables as we'll.
The senator related his conversation
with President Harrison.
Well, replied Ingersoll in disgust,
they claim | have said many hard
things about God, but / have never az
yet said any thing 30 bad as that
Laughter and applause.
Coming down to the practical view
of the case, believe that the chief
executive should be a business man,
There was time when it was thought
the man who could lead charge the

was the proper person to govern coun.
try. That day has pact. The president
should be g man who can direct the
affairs of this country in businese-like
manner. HIS of all people, by either
bad or good leadership, on any prop
osition, as the tariff or silver question,
is the one who could shape the condi-
tions OF the country. We are nation OF
business men, and, repeat. it is such
man who should be at the head OF
affairs" [Long Applauee.l
Governor Markham was to have re-
piled to the toast The State of Califor-
MIA, but he was unavoidably absent.
Mr.. Freeman read the following tele-
gram OF regrets from him:
PASADENA, Feb. 10.
Hon. d. Freeman, President Los Angeles Cham
Der of Commerce:
l regre. exceedingly to announce to
you that at the last moment l was pre-
vented from meeting with you tonight.
1t is great disappointment to me,
wish that your banquet will be sue
cess and that | may at some future time
be able to meet with you.
H. II. MARKHAM

Judge Shaw WAS to have replied to
this toast instead" continued Mr. Free
man, but believe Judge Bicknel has
talked him ont of the idea"
