appeared altogether. Populism is but the
purgat rial halfway house, and they can't
get there any too soon. In conclusion, let
us flock TO the Republican standard on
Tuesday next and by votes show the
American nation that we, of the iar-off
West, fully realize the bighting effects of
Democratic misrule and are determined to
put stop to further misrule by casting
our ballots for Republicans from NJ. NJ.
Estee. for Governor. down to the last
name on the list of municipal candidates. I"
As Colonel Jackson concluded, the roll
of drums, sounds OF upr0arious cheering
and the strains Of music announced the
arrival of Mr.. Estee. He was preceded
down the aisle by fifty young mAidens
dressed in white with American flags in
their hand. The flags they waved as they
marched, while the band played Hail to
the Chief" 1t was then that the entnusi-
asm reached its highest pitch and every
one In the hall seemed to go wild.
The effect was impressive. and it was
fully ten minutes before ANYTHING could be
done toward carving on the business Of
the meeting. After MIR. Estee had taken
his seat on tie platform, tOgsther with the
members of the Union League CLUB. who,
with the Alliance Club of Oakland in uni
form, had escorted him, the young girls
bombarded him with fragrant blossoms
until there was grave danger of his being
buried beneath them. After that the little
ones sang America" in a very pleasing
manner.
Mr.. Estee was then introduced by the
chairman, who. after proposing three
cheers Tor the gentleman. which were
given with vim, said that Mr.. Estee was
welcomed, not onlv by the Republicans,
but by Democrats, Populists and, last but
not least. the ladies. Applause.]
Mr. Estee bowed his ackno w Judgments,
and then said:
"Mr. President ana fellow-citizens of
San Francisco, | find myself too bankrupt
in words to express my appreciation of
this magnificent reception. l cannot do it
in words. | feel it deeply, though. l
would, though, express my appreciation
and the gratitude of the party to these
lovely little children. They represent the
outgrowth of American institutions; they
are poisoning into the fullness oil Splen-
did womanbOOd. l know and you all
know that tonight is no time for speech
making. The time for arguments is past.
More than two months ago | left
you. Three months AGO l told the
people at the Wigwam. and then
marked out the Republican plan. and what
l believed 1t ought TO be. Since then L have
been in every town from San Diego to
Eureka and from the Sierra Nevadas to the
sea, and eterywhere the audiences were
too large for the halls. People everywhere
were unanimous in the belief that the time
has come for political change.
Il have come tonight to give an account
or my stewardship and tell what has hap
pened in the'last two months. The people
OF THIS State are going to vote the RepuD-
llcan ticker this year. Applause. l hone
you won't think / am infringing on
your credulity, but next Tuesday will roll
up majority for the Republican party in
THIS State unknown in the political annals
OF the State"
Inc speaker then proceeded to speak of
the record of the Republican party during
Inc past thirty years, and dwelt particu-
iarly upon the Issues involved ia the pro-
tecton policy as compared with free
tIaue. Which, the speaker said. would
eventually tear down the pillars of the
state. Without protection, the farm and
faciory were thrown out of use. and the
people would find them selves destitut, of
means Tor their own support A country
10 prosper must be producing country.
Inc consumer who produces nothing is a
tramp and fraud. This country is full of
tramps VINO are not worth dollar, and
other tramps who are worth millions.
The speaker said the Democracy was
claiming that the Republicans only talked
upon national issues, and that it sbonld
discuss economy and the like. Before that
party talked economy the speaker said II

hundred dollars. He promised if elected
to see that that sum was not exceeded If
the veto power could prevent il. If Cali
fornians were extravagant as claimed. the
speaker contended that they were not SO
in bad way, They spent considerable
money on the public schools, on insane
asylums and orphan asylums. but 1t was
