| Association, presided at the Republican
mass-meeting in Odd Fellows Hall last
night. There was large md responsive
audience, quick 10 catch the drift of the
speakers remarks and to anticipate telling
| points with outbursts of applause.
The proceedings opened with a song.
"That's What's the Matter" by the Cali
fornia Quartet. AS an encore a topical
song was given to the air of plantation
melody.
Chairman Upham hum orously declared
that he mad been cautioned not to made a
speech. as there were two cf the best
speakers in the State present to address
the meeting, and introduced Judge j. c.
DAILY of Ventura.
The Southern California orator opened
his address with smile comparing the
wall of the ocean beside his home to the
appeal of the people to be relieved from
| Democratic misrule.
Passion. bigotry and everything which
| blinded the people to the issues of the
| hour, said Judge DAILY, should be dis
PEELED. This was the time when reason
| should reign.
1t was simply idle to make the cam paign
on the simple preference for men. The
campaign was one Of principle. Never in
| the history of the country had an Oppos-
| ing party assumed so trivial a position as
| that taken by the Democratic party in
meeting the issue of the campaign. The
man who claimed the title of American
citizenship held a prouder title than ever
Roman or Athenian held, for in the his
| tory of recorded time there had never been
true republic till America became one.
| 1t was the bounden duty of American citi-
| zens to hand down to posterity unimpaired
! 4h har m iah had e. n
! their fathers.
In other nations the citizen owed an al
| legiance to an individual who claimed 10
| rule by divine right. In the United States
the people in their individual capacity
were the Government and the men ap-
| pointed TO office were their servants.
A young man with whistle kept up
such an interruption that Judge Daily re-
marked, You had better put up your
whistle or you may grow up TO be Demo-
crat."
The whistle footed louder that ever.
Put him out!" Put him outp came
| from various quarters of the hall.
"Ob. no. don't put him out" suggested
Judge DAILY; 'let him stay and learn 10
! behave himself"
Tie speaker paid bis respects to Wilson,
who ne declared went to England TO play
| the flunky.
Senator Stephen Whites assertion that
| the 400 did not array themselves in gunny-
| bags to go to tEeir receptions was touched
| upon by the speaker. He asked if that
were an argument. The Republican doc
trlne that the country needed protection
was met by the Democrats with idle re-
! marks and witticsms. He asked If this
were time when the Democrats could
| afford 10 go on record as lodging the tariff
issue.
In the time of jackson the speaker de-
clared there was reason for its existence
/ ofa ell HhaN 4
at Appomattox, and the party should have
vanished when the reason for its existence
| died. 1t was now here on borrowed issues
taken from English sources. Its only sue
cesses had been rendered possible by the
action of the Temperance and Populst
| parties.
| Judge Daily declared that he heard Mr
| Webster speak in Southern California ten
or twelve days before Budd spoke at Sac
ramentO. The speeches were Identical,
| and lie believed were written by the same
man. The difference between the two was
| that MIR. Webster was rather modest and
retiring, while MIR. Budd was the pers0ni-
| lcstion OF egotism.
Some of the Democratic candidates &C.
centricities Of speech were humorousy
touched upon. There was no law which
| prevented a man from acting like a buf-
fooD, but there was line beyond which a
man could not go and get the sutfrsges of
| the American people. Mr.. Budd had said
that he was plain jim Budd and would
always be Jim Budd, land L think he al
WAYS will be-" added Judge DAILY.
Judge DAILY declared that at Santa
| Cruz Frank 81. Gould, in testfying to
Budd's steadfastness, had declared that
when be Could was a candidate for
| Speaker of the Assembly Budd had come
to Sacramento with his cheekbook in one
hand and his purse in the other and staid
there till he was elected.
SIS that the kind OF a man you want for
| Governor" asked the speaker.
The speaker declared thAt Budd had at
| various points in the State hired colored
man to sit in the gallery and ask quest tons,
''but," said he, Il do not think the colored
man will lick the hand that lashed him."
Judge DAILY challenged Mr. Budd to
declare In his cam paign speeches where
he would cut down the expenses of the
State Government. He declared that the
| figures given were misleading.
"Do you think the Southern Pacific
Railroad is afraid OF Jim Budd? Why, he
would be their huckelberry if they are
looking for one." said Judge Dalv.
while the audience cheered.
In conclusion the speaker declared that
il the people desired prosperity they
should vote the Republican ticket-vole
for the party of protection. He predicted
that California would roll up plurality of
%, COO for Morris NJ. Eslee.
The California Quartet sang a song the
refrain of which was, 'We lost the fight
In '92 by Democratic tricks, but we are
bound TO win again in 1885," and for an
encore gave topical song, with local hits
at Buckley, Max Pepper and Jim Budd.
FL. V. MOrehouSe of San jose was intro
duced in brief speech. He began: "At
no time in my personal history has it been
such a pleasure to me in addressing an
audience as ii is now to advocate the cleo
tion of Morris NJ. Estee."
The audience cheered for several mo-
ments.
1t was not the question Of personality so
much after all; but as political factor
the election of a Republican meant everv
thing. Ii it had not been for the secession
heresy in 1860 there would not be any
question of free trade. If it had not been
that the States south of Mason and Dix
on's line preferred to trade with old Eng
land rather than with New England. and
if it had not been for States, there would
be no free trade in the Democratic party
nor any Democratic party either.
The speaker declared that he believed
Ia the doctrine of Abraham Lincoln. II
know that if buy ton of steel in Eng
land and pay $40 for i; the steel comes TO
this country and the money goes to Eng
land" said Mr.. Morehouse. IF / buy n
ton Of steel 10 this country and paw 500
for it the steel stays here and the money
stays here. too" [Cheers.1
The speaker Illustrated protection at the
expense of the Democrats of San Jose.
The City Council contained four Demo-
Gratis and four Republicans. One OF the
Democrats was butcher He discovered
