PASADENA, Oct. 26.-Ths Republicans
are apparently much worked up over
the favorable impression which Mira.
Galpin made at the recent meeting at
the tabernacle, and all sorts of wild
ssories have been put IN circulation to
head off the movement.
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC FRANCHISE.
After many years OF waiting, it now
appears certain that the Southern Pa
cific company is coming into Pasadena
that is, if it can get right of way. The
scheme is to come up Broadway. if the
council will consent to grant franchise
ever that thoroughfare, to within q
short distance OF Colorado street. The
company is already owner of branch
spur, put in by the old Monrovis Rapid
Transit company, which extends to the
city limits, near the terminus of Broad
way. This line can easily be extended
into the city. 1t is doubtful, however,
if the consent of property owners on
Broadway can be secured to allow the
road to run over that route, and
in this case the company will
experience much difficulty in getting a
route over private ground. 1t is the
present intention of the company to To-
cate its station on the east side OF Broad
way, q short distance south OF Colorado
street, with an entrance from that
street. An option if not q purchase has
been reached on IL lots lying east Of
Broadway and south of Colorado street,
on which IL is proposed to place the
passenger and freight depots. The lat
ter, however, will be located south OF
Kansas street.
Several Southern Pacific officials were
here yesterday looking over the situa-
tion, Mr.. Muir being among the num-
Der.
II is likely that q franchise will be
asked for over Broadway, at the meeting
of the council Monday. The outcome
will be watched with much interest.
With the Southern Pacific in here Pasa-
dena would have four lines of railway,
steam and electric, between this city and
Los Angeles - certainly we'll provided
for. The Southern Pacific people claim
they will have cars running by January
1st If given chance TO come in over
Broadway.
POLITICAL MEETINGS.

have q meeting at the wigwam which
promises to be largely attended and one

has not been heard here yet this season,
and much interest 10 being taken in the
meeting tomorrow night. He ia q
speaker OF force and ability, and pre-
sents the subjects of most direct inter-
eet to this section. The issues of the
day will be discussed, especially the
railways as they affect the interests of
Southern California fruit growers. The
