Royal Reception by the Friends Of

iasm Was at the Wigwam.


3ho campaign issues were discussed
y Los Angeles last evening from two
Itandpoints. At the wigwam Hon.
4homas ". Gator of San Franicosco and
Charles A. Barlow of San Luis Obispo
addressed the people along the lines
hid down by William ]. Bryan and the
Chicago platform. At the pavilion Hon.
Charles A. Boutelle of Maine spoke in
support Of William Mckinley. Mark
Hanna ana the gold standard.
Never before in the history Of Los
Angeles have two such meetings been
held on the same evening in this city.
They were remarkable both from the
numbers in attendance and for the en-
,thusiasm shown.
At the wigwam there was a tremend-
GUS crowd. Over 5000 people were packed
into the enclosure. and there they re-
mained for two hours to listen to an ex-
position of the issues as laid down in
the platform of the Democratic party.
The vast concourse of people was
wildly enthusiastic for Bryan and sill
yer. and the reception given the Hon.
Charles A. Barlow, the next representa-
tive In congress from the Sixth district
Of California was notable.
The people needed but little encourage
ment to show that they were heartily
for Bryan. Upon every possible occa-
SION they demonstratedit 1t by round after
round of applause.
The speech made by Mr.. Barlow was
. brief one, but he created an excellent
1mpregsion- The gentleman made no
pretensions to oratory. He came before
the vast audience simply as a man of
the people for the purpose of making a
plain statement of his position upon pub
lie questions in intelligent English.
In this laudable effort he succeeded to
an admirable degree. He indulged in
NO high-strung phrases, nor did-he at
tempt to electrify his hearers by any
meaningless periods. He told them what
he would do if he was, by their suffrages.
chosen to represent them in congress.
Mr.. Barlow succeeded in convincing
every one of his honesty of purpose. He
satisfied all that he was not man who
would change his views in a day, a
night, q week, month or year.
After Mr.. Barlow's brief talk. Hon.
Thomas v. Gator took the platform. Mr.
Gator has addressed Los Angeles audi
ences before. He is known here. While
1fr. Gator is a clever platform speaker,
At cannot be said, nor has it ever been
claimed that.he is an orator of any very
great renown. He is, however, fore
ible and an entertaining talker.
Last evening he made some very strong
points for Bryan, and his address Great
ed great enthusiasm. He was frequent
" interrupted by applause, and he held
hts audience to the close.
Considering the fact that at the pavil.
ion there was an orator of national rep
utation. the wigwam meeting was ths
most gratifying success to the advocates

But as the speakers are in sympathy
with the people there is vast outpour

AT THE PAVILION.
The pavilion meeting where Hon
Charles A. BOutelle talked, had been ex
tensively advertised for many days. Mr.
Boutelle has been in congress for four
teen years and he is known Throughout

It is true that while in congress he ha
