man, NOW Of San Francisco, formerly OF
Yalo County, but more recently of
Mexico" His reference to the names of
Senator White and Congressman English
brought down the plsudits of the house.
Mr.. Fonte did not say much about tariff.
He said that there were present ADLER men
than he, who would speak upon that SUBJ
ject. but he did scare Samuel G. Hiborp,
the opponent of w. B. English for Con-
greSs. The speech was long one, and the
speaker was frequently interrupted by
applause. After admonishing the Demo-
cratic party not 10 lose heart he Introduced
Congressman Warren 3. English.
During Mr.. English's speech the gentle
men of The Young Mems Democratic Cluo,
seated in tiers rising above and behind the
platform, did good work. AT hrst the au-
dience was not very enthusiastic. but the
young Democrats in the rear cheered lus
tily and stamped vigorously at the summit
of every flight of eloQuence, and before
long the Democrats In front of the speaker
also made great deal of oise at the proper
moments.
But Congressman English made very
good speech, and tlckled his audience
when ne made eloquent mention OF George
c. Perkins, the Republican Senator rom
this State, and highly commended his work
for his State in Washington. He declared
himself equally against the refunding bill,
and he said that If the Pacific Railroad
magnates did not pay their debts to the
people when due he wanted the Govern
ment to take possession OF and operate the
railroads.
Following Mr.. English's speech Alex
ander Ros borough, the popular young
Tax Collector and candidate for County
Clerk, sang 10 the audience how "Gilligan
Went on Jag" ana received a tremen-
dous ovation.
At this junc:ure Mr.. Foote introduced
Senator White, and so constant was the
cheering that it was fully three minutes
before he could be heard.
He began with an eloquent Endorsement
of Grover Cleveland. He told now the
Democratic party redeemed its pledge to
repeal the Federal election laws. He said
that the party had reformed the tariff, but
he admitted that the reform did not go as
far as be himself wished. In speaking of
Cleyeland's failure to sign the Wilson bill.
Senator White said in extenuation that this
failure was due to the fact that the Presi-
deut believed that it did OF go far enough,
but because 1t did go farther than any
measure before attempted be permitted II
to become law without his signature.
The speaker discussed the tariff at great
length and characterized tariff legislation
as "a great contention of selfshness." He
spoke of trusts and grant monopolles, and
claimed that under the present tariff law
the American people would be saved a
large amount every year.
In defense of President Cleveland's con-
nertion with the Chinese treaty he claimed
that by that treaty not one Chinamau not
now in the United States can gain an en-
trance. There is not word in the treaty.
he claimed. that can be made loop
hole for the admittance of any China
man who has not been before a resident
registered in this county. He said that all
in the Geary and McCreary Law that was
doubtful in the eyes of the great jurists is
fixed and made unassaila ble by the agreed
legislation of both China and the United
States
Senator White said that he agreed with
the administration in its action with re-
gard 10 the question of the annexation of
the Hawaiian Islands. He said that the
islanders are not fit to become American
ci liens, and he aroused the house to
frenzy f enthusiasm by brilliant fight
of aratory, in which he upheld the honor
of America and her citizens.
The speaker then proceeded to the
question of State politics, and warmly
commended the work of Congressman
English as the representative of the Third
District. and he recommended his re-elec-
ton 10 the lower house.. He awarded the
honor pertaining to securing of the al
preparation for Oakland harbor to Con-
gresham English, and claimed that all
that has been done for the good of Oak
land during the last Congress is due to
the untlring efforts of that gentleman.

for the Supreme bench, and be heaped
encomiums on Jim Budd, whose name was
greeted with the ovation of the evening
He praised the ability and learning OF Nj.
II. EStee, but de ounced in unqualified
terms the Republican platform on which
he stands, because it has no anti-raiIroad
nlank. He sQuarey opposed the funding
bill and favored the foreclosure Of the
mortgage held by the Government. He
thought that it would be better 10 sell the
roads if enough money could be obtained
for them. In any event be favored the
construction of a great Government high
way across the continent
He concluded his speech with an elo-
quent reroration of the glorles of the
Democratic party and while he admitted
that it made mistakes alleged that on its
principles is based The future prosperity
of the nation. When he had done people
shouted and rushed upon the platform to

5000 individuals of the cohorts which
White so el0Quently lauded faded away

One Aspect Of Hay Riding.
Two parties of young people. in Two
hay wagons, drawn by four horses, on the
evening received some suggestions of toe
perils their ancestors were subject to in
the Olden time before the railroad train
had superseded The stage coach. The old
Fish Ranch road is very steep, and in GER
tain parts near the summit OF the Contra
Costa range there are sheer precipices, to
look over which is enough to straighlen
the curls on girls head.
On the night in question one of the hay
wagons was overturned at place near the
summit known as Mule Shoe Bend, and
the whole party were pitched out onto
steep decliyity. Everybody ESQ., ped with
a few scratches but Miss Alice Eden of
1919 Fourteenth street, who was knocked
unconscious by one of the horses, which
fell upon her. Several young men walked
into Temescal and came back In hack i'll

veyed to the home of a friend al 1920 Cy-
press street. She is attended by DR..

The other party was from San Fran
cisco and came 10 grief becAuse the horses

The wagon was overturned ON the north
side OF the range, but none of its occupants
were seriously injured.
