round of applause as she stepped on
the stage.
The tin horn brigade was on hand and
at 8 O'Clock entered the hall, making the
rafters ring with discordrnt echoes.
1t was 8 O'Clock when the head OF the
procession reached the entrance OF the
pavilion, and shortly after, Senator
White and Judge Stephens escorted the
distinguished guests OF the evening to
the stage. Judge Stephens introduced

Senator White said that it was not his
purpose to make speech until later in
the campaign. 1t was the duty of all
citizens to support that party which
stood solidly on platform laid on the
United States constitution. Nothing
had changed in the situation since he
had last spoken to such an assemblage
in Los Angeles that would lead him to
change his word of advice then given to
stand by the principles of the great
Democratic party. The Democratic co.
horts were led on the state and local
tickets by men who were deserving of
the confidence of tie whole people. He
then, in a graceful manner introduced
the speakers of the evening, Hon. James
IL. Budd and Hon. VIM. I. Jeter, the
frat of whom he had known for 20 years,
having been admitted to the supreme
court at the came time as himself. He
was a man of stamina and intelligence,
who would stand by the rights of the
people. Nothing new about Mr.. Budd's
anti-railroad platform. for it had become
part of his public life. as shown by mis-
brilliant career in congress. If the peo-
pie were in earnest in asking protection
from grssping monopolies and corpora
tions, then they would vote for Budd and
the whole Democratic ticket. APP
plause.
Hon. VIM. T. Jeter was then intro
duced. and said that his visit here was
to get acquainted with the people. Ten
years ago he visited Los Angeles and
was charmed with the hospitality OF
the people. Mr.. Jeter then gave
sketch, in modest way, of his public
career which began in the council of the
city Of Santa Cruz. 1t had always been
leading idea with him to labor for
economical government. The matter OF
reduction of taxation was one OF the
leading questions before the people "
California today. He was in favor u
pure politics. 1t was the duty of every
citizen to take an interest in politics
from the day of the primaries until the
day of election. A law should be passed
disenfranchising one who failed to give @
good reason for mis- failure to do so. The
day OF bossism had passed, and the free
and independent will OF the people |
would be made manifest this fall. The
people OF this state were confronted by
condition and a theory. The theory
WAS Hon. NJ. M. Estee and the condition
Dan NJ. Burns. [Applause.
Hon. Mr.. Phillips, candidate for rail-
road commissioner. was next introduced |
and told OF his coming TO California and |
settling in Fresno, where today he is
engaged in horticulture. The nomina.
tion had come to him unsolicited. He |
then spoke of the Southern Pacific rail-
road, saying the net profits of that com.
pany for 1898 amounted to 81 000, 900, of |
which rs per cent was contributed by |
the San joaquin valley. He was glad 10
say that the business men of San Fran
cisco, in their Traffic association, had |
endorsed him. He believed that rail.
road commissioners should be elected
who would not take their orders from
Fourth and Townsend streets. II he
were elected he would not take his or
ders from that source. but would labor
solely for the good of the people. -Ap-
plause.]
Hon. James II. Budd was then intro
duced by Senator White, amid terrific
outburst of enthusiasm. Mr.. Budd, in
substance said:
~ do not propose to deliver an
oration, but TO talk to you 40 one man
to another on the issues of the day.
When, 20 years ago, the chairman of
IL
for admission to the bar, little did we
this that tonight he, United States
senator, would introduce me to this vast
audience as your candidate for governor.
In 1882, when Mr.. White nominated
Governor Stoneman for governor, was
selected to lead forlorn hope for con-
gress. J. made my fight, won, and l
left my record open to inspection to the
