tha sneeches of r. j. Waters, E. A. Meserve

audience quite considerably. The Americus
c,,b occupied the front seats, and on the
nlatform. besides the chairman, Hon. Jas.
McLachlan, and the speakers were 'ne
vce-presidents, who occupied the whole
rear half Of the platform.
ed Lockett introduced the chairman, who
eulogiaed the Republican CANDIDATES. oAe
and all, and claimed victory fer them, ooth
N the county and state. He SAID OK sen

exception of the matter of San Pedro mar
hor. Senator White had only misrepreseht-
ed the people of Southern California M
McLachlan introduced r. J. Waters and the
band then struck UP Hail Calumbia'
after which Mr.. Waters spoke in substance
as follows:
7 appear before you not as an orator, bu'
as business man. have just returned
from a Journey through the whole southern
half of the state, and believe the Repub-
Ncan ticket will be elected Throughout.
The Democrats and Popoul.sts and Free
Silver parties are as far apart in reality as
the poles of the earth, and what can we
expect from a union of such discoroant
elements? Can We trust the interests Oh
the country in the hands OF any but the
cid Republican party? The only solution
of the railroad question, upon which the
Fusionists talk SO much, $ the construction
of the Nicaragua canal, and this can only
be secured through the Republican party
The Crown CITY Quartet (coloreO was
then announced, but Instead Of quartet
one Of the colored men sang solo, wnlch
was very poorly done Finally the re-
mainder Of the quartet Joined IN, but the
whole effect was distressing. In the next
selection they atoned for their failure, this
one being a regular plantation melody.
In introducing the next speaker Chair
man McLachlan said he would expose the
record of Congressman c. A Barlow.
e. A. Meserve was then introduced. He
said that It was quite meet and proper that
Mr.. Waters should open his campaign in
Pasadena. since it was from here that the

Markham. Mr.. Meserve referred to the
Democratic convention at Ventura. when
there was a struggle over the nomination
of q congressman and George Patton and
l.. ]. Rose were the candidates. Neither
could be elected, owing to the tie in the
vote of the convention, and finally j. Marion
Brooks brought forward G. A. Barlow, who
was finally nominated by the convention
j. Marion Brooks was the political progen-
itor Of Congressman Barlow, and always
referred to him as his friend until he
brought suit to recover money due him for
his services In securing Barlow's nomina-
ton and election, which suit was contested
by Barlow. Mr.. Meserve then read part Of
the testimony in the case, first reading some
of Barlow's letters to Brooks and comment
ing upon them. Mr.. Meserve admitted that
he was acting in the capacity of prosecut-
ing attorney, not making political speech,
In reading these letters to an audience and
placing his own obstruction upon them
In his speech IN Los Angeles the other night
Mr. Barlow said: "You mustn't judge me
by the testimony Of that case N court but
by my record in congress" Mr. Meserve
then belittled Barow's record in congress
aai proceeded to eulogize Waters to the
end of his speech.
