ionist meeting last night at the Alta
laido Gonzales hall on the west side
to hear Emperor Felix crate was at
tended by nearly geo natives. Mr.. Mar
tinez did not have much to say, only
remarks in general, urging the union
party to stand pat. He was introduced
by f. c. de Baca and spoke for thirty
FIVE minutes, ~haranguing the crowd,
telling them how Independent they
were and not to be led by any tricks
tat least none but his.) He referred
to the glorious Lorenzo Lopez, Eu-
| genio Romero and Juan Jose Herrera
as Independent men; they being in
strumental in the beginning of the
~unionist party movement some years
ago. He also advised all parties to
favor statehood, and told how bitter a
| pill he had to swallow when he had to
attend the national convention which
nominated Cleveland, the autocrat. He
said the national democrats always
promised statehood before election.
but betrayed them after the election
was over and they were in power. EN-
peror Felix may not have had at that
time, though how much good advice he
was giving those present by telling
them to beware of the democrats and
their trickery. Mr.. Martinez also gave
o. A. Larrazolo a rub by telling about
his antagonism to the union party.
Patricio Gonzales, the editor of Ell Sol
do Mayo, got in a snot about his
| change of heart, Dictator Felix telling
how it grieved bis heart to see men
who were formerly in the fold now OPP
posing the unionist cause. There was
some enthusiasm during Mr., Martinez

who had leaned on the bar before the
meeting, and they were decidedly num-
eIous. After the first speech music
