The Democratic mass meeting at the |
wigwam In Pasadena last night was
largely attended by Republicans.
There were fully 1000 people crowded
into the wigwam, and in point of en-
thusiasm and numbers the meeting
trsnscended the gathering at which Mr.. |
Estee spoke some months ago. A salute
OF 100 guns was fred, and bonfres were |
lighted on the foothills. In fact the
Democracy OF Pasadena were evidently |
determined to give Mr.. Budd and the
other state candidates rousing old.
fashioned Pasadena welcome.
The stage was beautifully decorated |
with fase, roses, lilies, pampas plumss
and palms, and presented charming
and attractive appearance, having been
| decorated by the decorating committee,
consisting OF Messrs. A. JuefH, Peter
| Steil, A. J. Wright, Mr.. Reynolds and
| w. A. Frazsl, who are entitled to much
| credit for the decorations, which were in
extreme good taste, fowsrs and flags
being used with splendid effect.
Prior to the meeting Messrs. Budd,
Jeter and Phillips held an informal re-
ception in the parlors OF the Hotel
Green, which had been garlanded with
a production OF flowers by the ladies.

Mr.. A. Il. Metcali. the chairman Of
the evening; then opened the meeting
with graceful. well-worded speech, in
which he spoke Of the fact that when
the Australian ballot system waa intro
duced, two years ago, it wac confidently
predicted by the Republicans that ow-
ing to the intricacies surrounding the
aecrst ballot they would win by an inn
menss majority, as only Republicans
} were sufficiently intelligent to legally
make out their tickets. The result of
the election showed how wofully they
were mistaken, for the Democratic par
ty won great victory, and with the
present leaders of the ticket,
the Democracy would win an even

dsna were willing to testify that the
past year under Democratic adminis-
tration had been one of the most pros
peroua in the history of the Crown of
the Valley. He then introduced Hon.
William L. Jeter, who spoke of the need
of @ transcontinental railroad owned
by the government as solution and
panacea for the existing railroad trouble
in California. Then in a vigorous way
touched on the Sacramento convention,
which had been dominated by Col. Dan
M. Burns. He invited the people of
Pasadena, particularly Republicans and
Populists, to carefully read the prin-
ciples enunciated in the Democratic
platform, and compare them with
the uttersnces of their own parties.
and he wac satisfied that in all fairness
they would decide to vote for the Demo.
cratic ticket He was not Democ rat
of the yellow dog stripe. He was an in
dependent American. and accorded the
same right to every good citizen to vote
for the beat men, for the best men
whom they think will best carry out the
laws aud protect aed foster the interests
Of the people. Every Popuist voter be-
fore caeting his vote should reflect we'll.
II they felt that they were wasting their
ballot in voting for the Populist ticket,
then they should unite with the Demo.
Gratis and vote with them to crush out
the vicious methods of government and
legislation.
Hon. w. W. Phillips, the candidate
Tor railroad commissioner, stnted that
the nomination for this high Office came
to hime unsolicited. He was q fruit
erowsr in the San Joaquin valley, and
had suffered from the tyrannical exac.
tions Of the Southern Pacific company
OF Kentucky. He then in graphic way
told of She oppressive rates which were
charged tho fruit growers by the great
railroad monopoly. II elected as rail-
commissioner be would WORK strictly in
the interest of the people. and he would
stand squsrely on the plank OF the Dem.
ocrstic platform which demanded 20 |
per cent reduction in the tariff charged
by the Southern Pacific.
Chairman Mescalia then introduced !
Hon. James Fl. Budd as the next gov. |
ernor OF California, which annoance- |
ment was the signal for another out. |
| burst of spplauae.
MIR. Budd began by referring to the
fact that no had followed the leadership
OF Mr.. Estso in 1872 in tho Greeley
campaign. but he was CORY to gay that
since then Mr. Estee had otrayed away
from the paths OF rectisude. Mr.. Estee
only recently had blamed all the srou-
bles in the land on the Wileon tariff bill, /
when na matter OF fact ii had not vet
been in operation for 80 days up to the
present date.
