AN OVERFLOW MEETING.
Messrs. Bruner, Dray and Anderson
Address It.

So great was the enthusiasm and so
large the attendance at the Old Pa
vilion last night that theme was not
room enough in the spacious hall for
all who desired to hear Hon. Henry T.
Gage and General w. H. L. Barnes, so
there were several enthusiastic speeche s
at the overflow meeting outside Of the
Pavilion, numbering about a thousand
persons.
At an early hour it became evident
that all the people would not be able to
| find either seats or standing room in
the Pavilion, SO the big, good natured
crowd-determined to hear speeches at
all hazards-gathered around the out
side stand and, within the blaze Of
the great bonfire, listened to Messrs.
Dray, Bruner and Anderson.
Ex-senator Dray began the meeting
IN graceful, easy way that soon got
the crowd in a fine spirit
This reminds me of the war times" ,"
he said, ito see the people gathering in
common, stirred by patriotic impulses,
and determined to stand by the Govern
ment"
He then referred to the glorious rec
ord of the Republican party and urged
all to stand by it in the present cleo
ton.
Major Anderson followed in brief
speech, wherein ne stated that he found
old memories andA'patriotic impulses re-
vived in this campaign.
We do not adequately appreciate the
greatness Of our country, or the extent
of cur resources he said. but in spite
OF our glorious progress there is a cop
perhead element in the United States
to-day led by such men as those now
opposing Republicans in this State, who
make false charges that the war was
mismanaged, and who stand in their
own and their eountrys light
Elwood Bruner spoke at some length
on the issues Of the day, dealing es-
pecialiy with Mcguire and his single
tax ideas
"On page 1862 of the Congressional
Record of last year" said the speaker.
you will find that Mcguire offers the
single tax as substitute for all other
taxes. In the San Francisco Star of
April IL, 1896, he has an article under
his own name irgwhich he advocates an
amendmentto the Constitution of Cali
forn1a by which all revenues of the
State shall be raised by the single tax"
The speaker also referred to the fact
that Judge Mcguire did not vote for
the war revenue bill, that Senator
White opposed the war with Spain. and
that both Mcguire and White opposed
the annexation of the Hawaiian ISL
ands. He asked how people could sup
port such a man and such doctrines. In
conclusion he spoke of the great pros
perity of the country since Mckinley
became President, and urged the peo-
pie to stand by that party.
Ex-senator Dray, spoke briefly again.
