The San Francisco call., 1896-06-21

Congress and as the Governor of his native
State. His is a record of which any man
living might well be proud" Prolonged
applause
Your enthusiasm is full of demonstra-
tion," be said, that not only are your
hearts in sympathy with McKinleY's NOM
ination, but that when the proper time
arrives you win cast your ballots for him
and insure us surcease from the dull times
and business stagnation inaugurated by
the Democrats at the beginning of their
last term in office"
Hon. Irving M. Scott was introduced,
and when the applause which greeted Mr..
Scott had subsided he proceeded:
"We are not here to- night to make any
arguments. l come here representing the
manufacturing interests of this City to
exult in the fact that the sun of prosperity
is rising at last"
The speaker was here interrupted by the
arrival of the Howard Repub bliean Club
headed by band and Judge Campbell,
with flowing whiskers and silky tile, wav-
ing an American flag. Cheers were given
for everybody from Mckinley to the
youngest San Francisco Republican.
When at last the excitement had SUBJ
sided Mr.. Scott resumed.
''Never since we nominated Abraham
Lincoln" he said, "have we entered upon a
campaign with such hope of big things to
be done. The man whom We have chosen
belongs to no corporations, does not cut
his own coupons. If you come to the sup

"Talking upon this OCCASION" began
Loud, "is wholly unnecessary. Whateve r
may have been our preference personally

Then peace and harmony will reign.
"And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the = brabs
And as silently steal away"
At the conclusion of Congressman
| Loud's address Senator Perkins made a
brief speech introducing the Hon. NJ. M.
| Estee.
81 am not here to represent the manu-

branch of industry, said Estee. II repre-

that we boys are going to elect Repub-
lican President in next November and
that President shall be William Mckinley.
l want to say to you that the Republican
party of California ought to be proud OF
this glorious demonstration of the San
