fore undertaking the arduous work Of
the two meetings arranged in this city
last night, namely. an open air meeting
on Also street and the grand rally al

The meetings were in charge Of the

Union clubs, and were excelIently man
aged throughout.
For the open air meeting on Alisc

and draped with the national colors and
two handsome fiags. A large Mthograpf

At the pavilion the decorations were
simple, but beautiful and appropriate

On Also Street
Promptly at o'clock last nlght-for
on one point Mcguire and Uncle Coils
agree. that of being on time-Mr. Ma
guire, accompanied by Judge c. c.
Wright, drove to the spot on Also street
selected for the meeting. The Mexican
band occupied the balcony, which was
brilliant with colored fires. and from
which rockets and other fireworks were
discharged, while clustered in the street
below were a thousand Of the working
men Of the city.
Mr.. Mcguire addressed the audience
briefly, explaining the necessity of saw.
ing his voice In the open air for the
greater task it would be called upon tc
perform at the pavilion. He discussed
but one question at length, and that was
what the Democratic party, if success
full, proposed to do regarding freights
and fares, and wages under the Southern
Pacific control.
Keep Up the Wages
"While we propose to make the South
ern Pacific reduce its rates of freight
and fares we also proposes to make that
company pay reasonable wages. Theil
cry, which they claim to be making
through employees clubs Is that II
freights and fares are reduced wages
must also come down. Now, the rail-
road commission will allow the Southern
Pacific a certain amount for operating
expenses, and this item will include the
wages Of employees, the rates of wages.
If the Southern Pacific want this allow
ance, under Democratic rule, they will
turn in their list Of wages, and no mat
ter what Is done with freights and fares
after that they will either keep up the
wages to the standard set by them OF
will be prosecuted for not doing so. II
is time the railroads were brought un-
der state control. The courts have de-
cided that Is where they belong, and If
am elected governor I Will use every
effort to see that they obey the law, and
every effort to see that a liberal allow
ance is made under the head of operating
expenses for wages. From their enor-
nous profits as a monopoly corporation
they can pay good wages but at the same
time they must give to the people in
fredghts and fares some return for what
the people gave them in the franchises
which they hold and which are almost
beyond valuation"
The Parade
Judge c. c. Wright followed Mcguire
at Also street. and then the party drove
