these things in the last two years! Ii
the Republicans in Congress were not
railroad hirelings why did Huntington
pay all of his attention to Mcguire ana
never worry about Loud? Because Loud,
my friends, is a creature of the railroad
(Excited cries of mo, no." You're off,
etc.)
Henry T. Gage''- but what Barry
had to say of Henry T. Gage was stopped
by a wild salvo of cheers that nearly left
the Odd Fellows building roofiess. Barry
compromised at the end of it with:
That's right. cheer; If 1 were Repub-
lican I'd cheer, too But Barry took
his cue. There was no more railroad and
no more charges against Loud. 1t was
simply a temperate, bloodless wind-up
such as the audience had right to ex-
pect from a man just off sick bed.
Chairman Reynolds here called atten-
ton to the fact that the Hefter was
down for a turn at his latest speciality
and that he would not adjourn the meet
ing until a reasonable time had elapsed
The lapse was filled in with timely
remarks" by a half dozen nominees to
minor offices. and the meeting was
closed, sans the presence of the hefter.

national issues. He said that never be-
fore in many years had the prospects
of the United States been as bright as
they are to-day. The Improvement OF
the times, he said was due to the able
and patriotic administration of Re-
publican President and Republican
Congress.
Labor is now finding employment"
said he, land capital is finding invest
ments. The confidence of the people
has been restored, and with that conf
dence prosperity has arrived
In conclusion, he said that Mcguire
was trying to make the fight on the
railroad issue, and was inviting the
people to examine his record. Il also
ask the people to study his record
said McKinlay. for 1 am certain that
they will never elect Governor of Cali
fornia an advocate of free trade. which
means free labor; a man who favorS
cheap money, and a man who is in
favor of the reputation of all our hon
est debts
The James NJ. Trout quartet then
sang a campaign song. and for an en-
core rendered the "Star-Spangled Ban
ner," while the audience rose and
cheered
D. ]. Murphy said that the platform
Of the Republican party was one of
the best platforms ever put before the
people by any party. The papers OF
fact" said he, for they cannot find
single flaw in it. AS to the candidates
on our State and local ticket. for hon
esty, learning, ability, integrity and
manhood, they will compare faVorablY
