that s. g.. Willard was the only candi-
. beo'e the convention.

to u shutting ont of Mr.. Monroe and
Mr.. Brotherton; ne now saw that the

outset was trap to smut out the candi-
date # the county delegates.

delegates could take care of themselves,
and as matter of fact he had shown
the solution in question to Colonel
Well Q d other gentlemen in the city,
and t had declared themselves in ia

Mr.. Willard was escorted to the plat

It is now nearly two years since the
Republicans OF Los Angeles county as-
sembled in convention. When last we
met the Republican party was domin-
ant in both houses OF congress and Ben
jamin Harrison, Republican, presided
over the dsstinies OF this great nation.
The roaring OF furnace fires, the RAFT
ling of looms, the blowing OF whistles,
the hum of machinery and the smoke
ascending from thousands Of furnaces
and factories attested the general pros
psrity which prevailed the length and
breadth OF this land.
In the words OF President Harrison in
his last annual message to congress, $50
high degree OF prosperity and so gen.
eral diffusion Of the comforts of life
were never before enjoyed by our peo-
ple." Today the furnace fires have gone
cut and the factories ard mills are 81
lent. Business depression and wide
spread disaster prevail throughout the
country.
What is the cause of it?
The Mckinley bill never put out q
furnace fire or shut down a mill or
cloeed a factory, On the contrary itcre-
ated new industriea; it brought the work
ingmen increased wages and it cheap
ened the cont of living.
The trouble with the country today is
that the Democratic party ia dominant
in both houses OF congress. while the
stuffed prophet of that party sits 10 the
presidential chair when he is not off
tiehing. Great applause.]
Two years ago the laboring men OF
this country were made to believe that
a protection tariff was unconstitutional
that protection was a fraud and q rob-
berry Of the people; that by wiping out
protection tariff and inaugurating an
era of fres trade their condition would
be bettered and greater prosperity come
TO our country.
Thew accordingly voted to remove the
tariff ON the little in dinner pail.
The increased waves and the better
times have not come. rhs tax will un-
doubtedly in time be lifted from the
little tin dinner pail. But in the mean
time the little tin dinner pail has be-
come empty and gone into "innocuoua
desuetude." Many OF those who were
wont to carry it are today taking their
midday meal at free soup housed, or
marching with banners on to Washing
ton.
And American workmen must tramp
and starve, quit industrial plants; must
20 into disease and decay while the
Democratic party is attempting to secure
revenue from imported goods without
comforting protection upon American
capital and American labor.
As Republicans OF Los Angeles coun-
tv, we begin our part of a canpaign to-
day which will result ia November in an
, mphatic denuEciation OF that party
which has always trailed along after the
Republican party and has never had the
courage of its convictions.
The party that is out of power is
continual menace and in power ia a con-
tinual calamity. We belong to the
