 The war with Spain is ended; for. us, Snost gloriously. Is it too much to nope 7hat with it also is ended forever human oppression throughout the globe; that hereafter might shall not be synonymous with right, at least in the free air of this Western Hemisphere, and that the eter- nal dictates of humanity shall be broader than the boundaries of any nation2
 The war with Spain is ended. Not so our responsibilities as nation or as in dividuals. With the acquisition of Porto Rico and Hawaii; with the undoubted re- with the possible annexation of Cuba will come to the American people the most momentous questions which have ever de- manded consideration and solution at our hands. The establishment of a just and adequate form of government for our newly acquired territory, the enlarge ment of our army and navy in the man. ner and to an extent commensurate with the needs of our new condition, the ex- tension of our Oriental and coastwise commerce, the laying of cables, and, 1t may be, the establishment of subsidized lines of steamships to our island posses sons-these are all vital questions grow ing out of and connected with them, and must be considered and disposed of by those in whose hands the reins of govern ment are placed in the immediate future.

 There is one question that seems to have disturbed the gentleman from the upper country who took such delight in picking row with his weaker brother in the southern part of the State when his weak CT brother was not here [applausel and that Is the single tax. He tells you that 1t is no concern of the people of this State.
 We, as American citizens, stand upon should be the legitimate subject of taxa tion; that every kind of property within the confines of our great State that reaps the benefits of its laws should contribute It's just proportion toward the mainte- nance of the State. We cannot and do not assent to the, doctrine that the land alone shall be burdened with the taxes of the railroad for which MT. Maguire has such a horror. [Applause.J
 According to this contention if we were single tax prevail the rolling stock of the railroad would never pay a dollar of tax. The only tax that would be levied would be upon the land that the track occupies. What an enemy or railroads that m IS,

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The Herald's s Washington correspondent sends the following: Former Secretary of State John Sherman talked to me very frank ly to-day in regard to the Miles-Alger controversy. the condition of the troops and the responsibility for bringing on the war. MT. Sherman considered that the war wrs altogether unnecessary and he severely criticized Congress for having brought it on. He also made the surprising statement that as Sec retary of State he could have concluded a treaty by which Spain would have peaceably withdrawn from Cuba.
 "I have no personal grievance against Secretary Alger, nor am l engaged in prosecuting an investigation of the War Department at the instance or in the interest of General Miles" said MT. sherman. "All this talk about my try ing to force an investigation of General Alger because of some animosity l am supposed to hold toward him is too ab-

 II entertain these views, l have, these opinions as a man; but you Will oDserVe that I have not impressed them upon the public's concerns"
 He reminds me of preacher l once anew wh9 was being red fop pedqfe too much whisky and too often piaying cards. The evidence was overwhelming, sln and I, when he. , he came before the church 10
 Gentlemen, look here; it is true drank more whisky than should have taken: played more poker than l ought to nave played. But when I did that l did 1t as MT. Perritt; when I attended to the du- ties of the church did 1t as Bishop Per ritt,"
 And one of the jurors, Scotchman of the church. said: Bishop l would like to ask you a question: When the last trum- pet shall sound and the devil shall come which he will get MT. Perritt or Bishop Perritt?"

There are those here tonight of talent; and eloauence But before closing permit me to say this and I say it in ali seriousness and can dor: I believe that the best interests of the country demand that we keep the Republican party in power. (Applause.) Let us remember what these gentlemen have told us in reference to our adminis- tration. Let us remember that Mckln- ley's administration under the revenue laws has been In force but trff1e beyond a year, and what has. been the result financially? Why. we have to-day bal ance of trade, a balance of indebtedness in favor of the American nation of nearly eight hundred millions of dollars (ap- plause) a sum so vast we can hardly comprehend its significance. Think of that for a moment.
 Shall we stop the progress of our en- pire? Shall we turn 1t over to the De- mocracy? Shall we say to Mcklniey we do not want the Philippines" Shall we say to Mckinley, "We do not want the Ladrones? We have elected Maguire and his Congressmen to indicate that we are opposed to the sentiments that Cal. ifornians nearly all espouse?" No, never! Never! (Applause.)
 If I should, fellow-citizens, be elected Governor of this great State 1 promise you that I will give you an administra- ton pure. honest. economic, business like an administration which symbolizes the idea of Republicanism. and that rep resents the integrity and the moral force of this great American nation. l thank you.

OUTLOOK FOR THE PARTY IS
 VERY BRIGHT

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 3.-Speeches other than those of Gage and Bulla demanded the closest attention of the immense assemblage at the Pavilion. Addresses were delivered by Truman Reeves, N. Blackstock, R. J. Waters, James McI.achlan, Will A, Harris, H. H. Markham and Frank F, Davis.
 The tribute paid by Harris to the old Confederates and their devotion to the flag won rounds of applause. He main tained that the election of Gage would bean expression of the people of Cal ifornia that none of the territory con- quered in the war should ever be sur rendered back to Spain or given to any despotic power on earth. President Mckinley profoundly respected the voice of the American people and would be guided by the will of the nation. Al the conclusion of Harris speech the band played Dixie and the audience cheered.
 Frank F. Davis was the last speaker of the evening, but not the least elo- quent or forcible. He advised his hearers to ask the Silver Republicans and the Populists to Join the Republi- can enthusiasm. He contended that the DOllllCd battle on the broad grounds of Ameri- can patriotism.
 Let jds resolve" said he, that the flag shaff ever float where 1t now waves On this line of splendid patriotism lei us unite with a single purpose tc achieve victory
 At the conclusion of the speeches the bands played America and the audi. ence sang. Departing from the pa vilion the uniformed clubs maintained marching order and enlivened the late hours with the music of their bands.
 Henry T. Gage was immensely de- lighted at the magnitude and warmth of the great meeting. He will now take rest for few days and give some attention to his business affairs.
 The success of the gatherings to-day and tonight, the mighty spirit of en- thusiasm already aroused in the masses of the voting population, lead to pre- dictions of immense majorities for Gage in the southern part of the State. Men whose predictions in the past were veri- fled by the returns assert that Cages majority south of Tehaehapi will ex- ceed 16,000. There has been a very large increase of registration in Los Angeles County, which is known to be favorable to Republicans.

 Then, if you please, fellow citizens. what right has the Democratic party to complain about the national bonded in- debtedness?
 I do not think that MT. Mcguire ought to be too critical about the manner in which American funds are applied to American citizens. Twenty years ago he began to receive a salary from the public treasury of our country. To-day and here the man stood on this rostrum assailing me, and he was drawing a sal- ary, and a big salary, from the public treasury of the United States, paid out of the hard-earned taxes from the pock- cts of the farmer and the poor man, for whom he has such extraordinary affec- ton. In other words, to cut the matter short, he was doing the public service, he was a philanthropist, not upon his own, but upon your country's ana my country's coin.
 The gentleman took occasion to say that the Republican convention winch last assembled in Sacramento was tool of the railroad company. Upon what prln- ciple of justice had he the right to say that those men, assembled from every por- ton of this great State of fifty seven counties, were the tools of the railroad company? f

 LEADER HELD
 UP TO SCORN

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 3-After the applause following the presentation of MT. Gage by Senator Bulla had sub sided. MT. Gage began:
 MT. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, friends, neighbors and fellow-citizens: suppose 1t is hardly necessary for me to say that this vast throng upon the pub ic streets of the home of my childhood, this vast audience assembled here, this grand reception, make me feel as if I nad not trodden your streets as fel- low-citizen in vain. (Applause)
 During the time that l have moved in your midst you know whether I have walked as an honorable, upright citizen or not. If I have failed anywhere to comply with the dictates of common hon. esty or common manhood, implore you at the coming election to cast vote against me and not for me. (Applause.)
 I appreciate beyond the expression of language this magnificent demonstration, but l have not the vanity to imagine that this throng is here on account of any particular affection mat you enter tain for me, or on account of any achievement of mine Not so at all
 l belRve that you have assembled here because l represent a sentiment that is near and dear to your hearts, sentiment of public principle, because l represent the Republican party of the great State of California (applauSe); because you be- lieve in the doctrines of RepublicaniSm; !; because you believe that the welfare of this great and glorious nation is observed better under Republican administration than under any heterogeneous mixture such as is presented by the opposing party: because you believe and 1 believe and every Republican believes that the highest and noblest sentiment in America Is best represented by Republicanism. We believe that the great opponents of that party by their lives, by their deeds-I say such opponents as Lincoln, as Grant, as Blaine, beloved Blaine, (applause) and William Mckinley (applause) have dem- onstrated that the present and future in terestS of this nation are safe under Re publican rule. (Applause.)
 Fellow citizens, James G. Mcguire Is the opposing candidate for Governor of this great State. He was called upon to express his convictions in the House of Congress upon the acquisition of foreign territory, and that only a short time ago, and he cast a solemn vote against the an- neXation of Hawaii We as the Repub- lican party have declared in favor of that annexation. (Applause) Not only that, my fellow citizens, but we do not believe that the bravery and valor of our sol diers and sailors have been for naught. We believe that wherever their courage, their manhood, their blood. have planted the American flag, there it shall be un- fured forever. Great applause)

 That Is right. It Is the sentiment of common humanity and common manhood.
