a Big Street Demonstration by RspubIi-
can C1ubs-A Fire Alarm Adds to
the bcsns-Mr. Estee's
Address.

When Morris M. Estee stepped forth
uron the stage at Hazards pavilion last
night he gazed upon an audience which.
for size and distinguished character, lie
seldom equsled in Los Angeles. The
hall was filled from top to bottom.
Even the little gallery. which finds q
foothold away up near the roof, was
filed and 1t WAS estimated that 5000
persons were there to greet the dis
tinguished gentleman from Nspa, who
appeared as the Republican candidate
for the governor OF the big state OF
California.
The whole arrangement for this big
ovation had been conducted by CON-
mittee jointly with the various Republic
can CLUBS OF the city. At O'Clock the
members of each club gathered at their
respective headquarters, and at 1880
formed in parade on Second and Main.
They were headed by Colonel Schneider,
grand marshal, with O. D. Howry, George
Cochran, W. =. Daubenspeck and Sher-
han Blos, ,as aids. The march was up
Main to Temple, end thence into Spring,
Gown which the procession moved. Fol-
lowing in the rear were carriages con-
flaming Mr.. Estee. Judge Silent, General
Nerce and b. W. Lee, the two latter
being members Of the general reception
committee.
The Jonathan club took the lead,
headed by band, and they were fol-
lowed by the Yonpg Mems Republican
league, the Los Angeles Repu blican
club and the Second Ward Republican
club. There were fully 200 members OF
the various clubs In line. Two bands
and two drum and fife corps furnished
the music for the martial tread OF the
enthusiastic party workers.
The Jonathans ell wore white caps
aud carried Chinese lanterns suspended
in the air with sticka. One member
had big stuffed club, about feet long,
with the word Jonathan painted upon
it.
AS the procession WAS crossing Fret,
on Spring, an alarm of FIRE was turned
in. In remarkably short space OF time
three or four engines, with hose carts
and hooks and ladders, came tearing
into Spring and tool up q station near
the Hollenbec Ono tire company
came down Spring from the same direc-
ZION as the marching Republicans, and
Gene, just as the procession
cached the Nadeau, was extremely
thrilling. There was an almost
impassabls throng ON the street,
and through this mass OF humanity
come the firemen on dead run with
smoke and fire belching forth, while
Immediately behind followed the grand
marshal and the marching chief, with
lanterns flying, bands in full play and
. frequent outburats of political yelln.
The FIRE bells changed and the engines
belched fire but it had no appreoiable
effect upon the clubs as they kept MARCH
ing on, right through the thick OF it,
1t was quite an incident OF the parade
and one seldom Witnessed.
After arriving st the pavilion the
Jonathans formed in two lines and
allowed the balance of the organization
to pass between, including the carriage
Of Mr.. Estee. As Mr.. Estee appeared
IN the hall he was warmly applauded.
He was quickly followed by the club
members, who took their places rs
signed in the center OF the hall, and no
time was lost in beginning the exercised.
