The Largest Political Gathering in the
Hitory Of the Town.

The Silver Republicans of Garvanza
and vicinity organized Friday night.
1t was the largest political meeting ever

ulation of the town attended in spite Of
so-called grand Republican rally ex-
tensively billed for ten miles around
and attended by just twenty-one men.
The meeting of free-silver Republicans
brought out delegations from Eagle
Rock, Glendale, Highland Park, Verdu-
ga and South Pasadena, and the enthus-
iasm was such that there are 600 sore
throats in consequence.
w. s. Abbot was elected to the chair.
of Silver Republicans the heroes Of
this campaign, left by their turncoat
party with a Bryan ballot in hand and
tine conscience to vote it. They are the
Moses of our day, who force the wor-
shippers of the golden calf among the
chosen of God to face the brazen SER
pent Of defeat, that they be cleansed of
sin, to again see the glory of the COM
ing of the Lord"

raised the very shingles Of the roof with
a {,
he said, Just where Rome stood when
she fell down. And every cause that led
to her downfall faces us today. Tariff
and gold currency can no more as j.
simulate than can ice and water never
believed that Jonah swallowed a whale
till I saw the Republican party swallow
that CHASTITY, gaunt and awful contra
diction. Thirty-five hundred and eighty
two x-Republicans, belonging to the
largest political club in Southern Cali
fornia, say that they cannot swallow it. -
Mrs. Annie B. Andrews spoke an hour.
IF, as Abbot Kinney says, Every woman
should have six children before she
votes then I demand the ballot, for
I've got 'em. Men have been managing
the government until it is all rotten. 1t
is time now to let the women clean
the government. Vote for the sixth
amendment. and we will do it for you.'
