14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1896. THE PIONEERS AT £L CAMPO Successful Celebration of Admission Day by the '49-ers. A GREAT THRONG THERE Orator of the Day S. M. Short- ridge' Makes a Telling Address AND STRIKES A HEAVY BLOW. A Straw Vote Taken on the Boat Elects McKinley by a Big Majority. El Campo saw & sight yesterday tbat will probably be referred to forever in jts history as “that Admission day in "96.” Led by the Society of California Pioneers a great throng of people in holiday dress | and boliday spirits—men, women and children—spread itself out through the groves of the beautiful resort, appiandea the orator, danced to the music ana gen- | erally did honor to the men who laid the | foundation of the commonwealth and to the day they celebrate. It was a beantiful day, beautifully cele- brated. The big ferry-boat Ukiah left her wharf at 9:30 crowded with the merry- makers, all her half-dozen flags flying and Blum’s big orchestra playing an inspirit- ing air. The waters of the bay sparkled in the sun and the colors of the craft anchored and under way were heightened by it as the excursonists ran down past the Union Iron Works to take a look at the Oregon and other craft stationed there. Return- ing close under Alcatraz, a lunding was made at El Campo a little before noon. The great throng broke itself up into luncheon parties, for the order of the day had been, to ‘‘come provided.” It was nearly 1 o’clock when the assem- bly call was sounded and the concourse athered in the pavilion, where, aiter the | tnnd had played a prelude, the president | of the Society of Pioneers, Collis H. Root, ! introduced the orator of the day, Samuel M. Short:idee. A burst of applause was followed by the profound stiliness of perfect attention. Then the sonorous tones of the voice of the orator filled the place, reaching to the furthermost limits of the great vathering. Mr. Shortridge was irequently interrupted by bursts of applause that responded in- stantly as he touched the chord of patriot- | ism or paid a tribute to the labors, the | achievements of and the honors due the pioneers of the great State: Mr, Short- ridge said : Chairmen, Ladies and Gentlemen: ul to (od for his manifoid blessings for liberty, for all the precious fruits of civiliza- tion which we enjoy, proud of our State and her achievements, we assemble here to-day, matron and maid and sire and lad, to give ex- pression 10 our gratitude and 10 célebrate the admission of California into our great and enguring Union. We come from all the differ- ent walks in life. We are here with memocies carrying us back to homes scattered through- out ihe whole Union. to homes far beyond the seas, but all united. all devoted, all proud of our grand State of California. [Applaase ] We are here 1o c-lebrate in joy and thanks- giving the admission of California inio the sisternood of States. We are here to indulge in pardonable pride in all we have accom- plished, all ihat we have done for civilization, for the upliiting of man, for the opening of avenues of labor and usefulness to women, for all that we have accomplished for the ben- efit of this State and her people. To me it is an honor quite undeserved to be permitted to pay & brief tribute to California and her iounders. We come to pay & poor tribute to the noble meu and noble women to whose sui- fering, to whose dauntless spirit, 10 whose toil and tears are due all the glory of our State— all we Lave to-day, all we hope to have in the future. [Applause.] We ure here to pay a poor tribute to the ploneers of Celifornia [ap- plause], to the men and the women who turned their eyes westward and here and upon this western slope, within sound of the man- 1fold voices of the sea, planted the standard of Christian eivilization, under whose ample folds we rejoice to-day. [Applause.] Thus assembled, our minds turn backward and we think of the early days of California. We think of a time prior o 1849, and the quiet and dreamy civilization that fiourished here. We think of the news that went speed- ing over the mountains, across the plains, on across the seas Lo all the people of the earth— the news of the discovery of gold 1n this Siate; end in our hearts and through our lips we pey & tribute to Marshall, the discoverer of | gold. [Appiause.] I cannot here, on this oc- casion, dwell at any lefgth upon the eftect of that news upon the worid. Many of the gray- haired men and women before me lived at that time and remember the condition of the country and the effect of that news upon them and the world. Let this be recorded, as, indeed, it wiil be recorded, that the westward march of the pio- Deers was in & cause as inspiring, as praise- worthy, as noble as ever engaged the thoughts or labors of men in all the history of the world. ' Not for & sordid purpose, not for gain merely did the pioneer turn his eye west- ward; no, he came here out of love of country, out of love of home to plant civilization, and to lay the joundation of a great common- wealth. [Applause.] The story of that west. ward march, the 10il, the tears, ihe struggles, the long, weary long march across the piains, over unbroken prairies, throngh undiscovered canyons, over rocky mountains, turongh dark- ness and storm and dangers, is’a theme 1o en- gage the pen of the poet, and to call forth all the efforis of eloguence. That journey was heroic; that army was composed of heroas, You found a civilization hospitable and generous, but not of the East. They, our Spanish predecessors, had love of count if ‘there are descendunts of them . to-das b assembled they must rejoice at the planting of the banner of the morning stars here upon this coast. How our State grew in wealth and numbers you know full well. The pioneers came here in search of gold. but they brought with tnem = love of law, & love of order, a belief in free in- stitutions, & faith in constitutional govern- ment. Eurly a convention was cailed to frame a_constitution. A constitution was drafted whose foundations were laid in justice and equity and liberty, and whose every stone and pillar was dedicated to the Tights of man and to Christian civilization, A constituiion having L:vplllue.] en framed, you, NEW Blood Humors 'VERY humor, whether itching, burning, bleeding, scaly, crusted, pimply, or blotchy, Whether simple, scrofulous, or hereditary, from infancy to age, are now speedil; @ticura Resolvent BKIN and blood purifier of incomparable TO-DAY. Pioneers, npxea at the door of Congress and asked to be admicted Into the glorious Union. What a struggle, what strife, what opposition, what passions were engendered. Let us joy- fully remember that the State, by its constitu- tion, was dedicated to freedom, and that it came into the Union with the garments of freedom around her. Let us proudly remem- ber that our soll has never been pressed by the feet of other than free men. God bless Henry Clay; God bless Seward: God bless all the gratd patriots of that hour who struggled and fought for the admission of our State witha consiitution dedicated to freedom. Admitted into the Union, our progress has been the wonder and the admiration of the world. These populous ciies, these flourish- ing villages, these hillsides, these great fertile valleys, our churches, our colleges, our courts are the enduring monuments to you, Pioneers of Californis. [Applause.] Our State was founded by men, I repeat, who believed in law and in order—who believed in the laws which they had either enacted or obeyed in their Eastern homes. You came from the fertile South; from rock-ribbed New England. You came from the prairies of the West. You came from all quarters of our common Union, and you came bearing in your hands and in your hearts a beiief in Christian civilization and here you planted her stand- ard. From the hour of its admission into the Union in 1850 our State has always been true to the principles which were crystalized in her constitution. We have advanced not only in a material sense; we have not only bur- Towed through our mountains to extract the precious metals; we have not only tilled our fields to bring forth their rich fruits; we have not only builded cities, but we have erected courts of justice and maintained them; we have crected colleges and sent forth men and women who are en_honor and a light to the State; we have established a system of public schools where rich and poor, high and low, ot whatsoever color, may drink stythe fountain of learning. [Applause.] And 1n every city and in every village the spires pointing heavenward are evidences of the 1act that we have taught religious truth, and, while attempting in & material way to better our condition, have pointed the way to a blessed immortality. As, in a material sense, the State has progressed o, intellectually, the State has risen, morally the State has grown. In all that goes to make an intelligent and righteous people California stands to-day proudly beside her sisters of the Union. [Ap- plause.] And whatsoever we have of which we are proud, whatsoever we have that makes the youth of this State grateful, whatsoever we possess that makes us hopeful, we owe in full mensure to the pioneer men and women who laid the foundation of this magnificent com- monwealth. We think to-day of the progress made. In population we have increased; in all the ma- terial comforts we bave surpassed all other States in the Union. God gave us—he has spread out before us to-day the grandest State | upon the rolling earth. [Applause.] . We have here that which you early recognized— not only wealtn of the mountains but greater perennial, unfailing wealth of the valleys and of the sea. Our mountains, standing like sen- tinels of liberty, have given irom their coffers wealth to enrich the State and the world. But while our mountains may (ihough it will be long and far distant)—whiie they may become exhausted of their wealth, our great fertile valleys and this rich, frothful sea will be here as long as God permits the earth to roll in its orbit. And these are the stories of our wealth, the mountains, the valleys and the sea. Pioneers of California, pioneers in pianting civilization, pioneers in the discovery and in the mining of the precious metals, pioneers in the culture of the valleys, pioneersin com- merce, you have set an example for this and for future generations. In your devotion to | material things you have never lostsight of | these truths; that there are some things more | precious than gold; there are some things | more to be desired than silver; there are some | things dearer and more precious than the | material things of earth. You have taught us that truth and justice and liberty are the things that ennoble, crown and dignify the human race. [Applause.] And our churches to-day, from whose puibifs rise upon the breath of prayer, thanks ‘o man aund gratitude to God—colleges which are send- ing forth a stream of light to illumine this western world—our churches and schools are preaching that which. the pioneers preached, that which the pioneers taught. They came here bearing the civilization, loving New England, the Eastern, the Middle and the Southern States, leaving behind them the memories of youth, the farmhouse, the little churchyards where thelr fatners sleep— came here to buiid homes, to found a Stat And we to-day can show bit poor gratitude by word of praise, it will be poor gratitude to pronounce the word of eulogy uniess we dedi- cate ourselyes to the greal work which they commenced. The young men and young women of this State have in the pioneer fathers and mothers of California an example of industry and of labor which they may profitably emulate. Oh, pioneers, you who stood at the cradle of the State, Who Tocked its iniancy, who nur- tured, who sustained it, be of good cheer! Though age is whitening your locks, though your eyes are not bright, your step not firm, your form not erect and strong, as in other days, yer do you live in the hearts, and you will forever live in the memory and gratitude of your children. [Greatapolause.] On this great day of celebration we cannot pronounce the names of the many men who took part in building this our commonwealih. Many rose to high and distinguished place muny represented the State in executiy chairs, many spoke for her in legislative halls. Many heve pursued the more quiet and, pe haps, the more desiravle pathways of private life. Many have carved their way Dioneers of ecience, and borne her sacred torch far to the front. Many have esiablished institutions of learning which will be a light for all the children of men throughout the years to come. And as we stand or sit here with this beaut ful expanse of water stretching before us, almost within hearing of yonder ocean, we think at this moment of him, your benefactor, the benefactor of this Soeiety of California Pioneers and of California—the benefactor of all mankind—of him who sleeps yonder under the silent stars upon Mount Hamilton. [Ap- plause.] And so long asthe sun in his coming shall kiss and glorify our mountain-tops, so long as yonder sea rolls in and breaks upon the Golden Gate, so long as the stars look down sentinel above his tomb, so long will future generations remember with gratitude the benefactions of James Lick. [Applause.] Pioneers, we have not erected a monument 10 you; we cannot erect a suiable monument 1o you. If there be any monument worthy of you it is the great Siate which you have founded, the great institutions of learning which you have planted, the great super- structure of civil government which you have erecltea. We cannot hope on this occa- sion_to dwel! in detail upon the progress of our State. Itisin evidence before us. Itisin evidence inour increasing commerce, in our manufactories, in the increasing acreage of our fieids, in the increasing domestic com- merce within our borders and reaching toward the East and the West. We are progressing materially, intellectually and, let us hope and believe, morally. ; The younger generation can dono more than to keep the State where you have left 1. We can do no more than to strive to do that, and with earnest devotion and with a zeal perhaps to be compared with yours, we can strive to plant the banner of civilization a little further onward and a little higher upon the mountain hleizh11 of prosperity and righteousness. [Ap- ause. B A Gooasion suchi as this, fellow-citizens, should not be passed by without causing us to think of our duties. The pioneer’s work has not been fully performed, thougn he is entitled to rest and praise. The work which menced must be carried forward. The young men and the young women of this State must look to that example and follow it. The young men and the Joung women upon whom will rest the responsibilities of government must see to it that the work of the pioneer fathers and mothers is carried on, and that the State’s interests, materially and intellectually, shall be guarded and desended. 1 have no fear, nor shou'd you ploneers have fear that in the keeping of the-native sons and native daughters of this State, and in the keeping of the young men and young women who hall from other States the welfare of Cali- fornia will be safe. [Appiause.] Foriy-six years ago our State was admitted 1110 the Un- Forty-six years ago she was clothed with Statehood and entered into a generous rivalr; with sisier S.ates. I undertake to say and do proudly say that no State in the Union has doue more for charity, more for the poor and !Illflerh'ig than our State of California. [Ap- plause. This State, fellow-citizens, has gathered to her men of &l races, of all the States of the Union, and practicaliy of all the countries and nations of the earth. We have s100d true and steadfast. He have been threatened at times with an inundation from the East, we were threatened with a tidal wave which would haye swallowed up our churches, our colleges, our Christian civilization. ‘were threat- ened with a wave which would have engulfed the State and lost it to you and to we, but the spirit that founded this State, that put her into the Union, triumphed, and Christian civilization and not Asiatic barbarism flour- ishes in California to-dsy. [Applause.) And 50 we are here to think of our progress, 10 take note of the journey and particularly to rejoice upon our admission into the Union, Itseems to me that the heart of the pioneer must sweil with pride when he thinks of the work that has been done anda reflects that he was a participant in that glorious work. And it neems to me that the dyingeye of the ploneer might well be lighted up with asmile when he thinks that he will be embalmed forever in the love and gratitude of those who follow him. [Axlfllllu,] joneers of California, you who came here A purity and curative power. Purely vegeta- ble, safe, innocent, and palatable. Itappeals to all, and especially mothers, nurses, and children. Bold thr it the ey e o et s v N Coxr ole ‘ " How 1o Ciire Blood aad Bkin Humors,” free, s/ in early days, you who have done this great work, you who have laid many of your fel- lows away forever we here to-day pay you the poor tribute of your love and praise. No words cen tell vou, no eulogy can portray, no flight of fancy or words from the heartcan ex- press the deep sense of gratitude which we your children fcel toward you, and the rever- ence in which we have placed you. [Ap- plause. We, the young men and women are here, the young people of California are here 10 pay you this tribute and to bid you be of good “cheer; to be proud of the work which you have wrought. Celifornians, ladies and gentlemen, this to us should be & day of thanksgiving as weill as of rejoicing. 1t should be & day of tears, but not tears of agony. Itshould be a day of re- joicing, and I borrow the thought, s you will perceive, of our greatest statesman, day of exultation and of gratitude. We should not let this day pass without re- dedicating ourselves to the great work before us, and that work is the building up of the State and the preservation of all that we have, and the reaching out for that which is better and more to be desired. We shoula here to-day, fellow-citizens, con- secrate ourselves to our State and, oh, it to me is & proud thought that through all the aangers which our dear country has passed, in the darkest hour, in the wildest storm, in darkness, and in doubt, California stood, as she will ever stand, for the constitution an the union. ([Greatapplause.] And now, fellow-citizens, what is our great overshadowing duty? Itis to hold high saioft the banner of civilization; itis to hold high aloft in the forefront of the nations of the earth the great and blessed glorious banner of civili- zation. And what is that banner? Thank God, it is the banner of our fathers, the Star- spangled Banner of the Nation. [Great ap- plause. The banner which is emblematic of the struggles, of the sufferings, of the tears, of the triumphs of the mothers and the fathers of the Reyolution; the banner which is emblematic oi freedom to worship God in temple or in forest, freedom of conscience, free lips and free hands; the banner emblematic of an indis- soluble Union and indestructable State. And so here to-day, on this 9th of Septem- ber, in this year of our Lord 1896, let us utter a fervent prayer that the State may endure, that she may grow in wealth materially, that she may advance in all the civic virtues; that her cobstitution may always be preserved; that her institutions of learning may be pre- served; that her people may be prosperous and righteous, and that this banner of our civiliza- tion may forever floac above our fertile valleys and from our mountain tops, over a happy, & righteous, an independent people. Our State of California, may she ever stand tor light, for progress and for liberty. Prolonged applause followed and the band burst into a medley of patriotic airs. Miss Frazie Cleveland, a daughter of C. D. Cleveland, recited in a very telling manner the poem of the day, written by her father and entitled ‘“The Pioneer.” She was warmly applauded. Now the stage was cleared, the orchestra got in tune with Strauss and dancing was begun and coniinued until the whistle blew for the return at 5 o’clock. The celebration was on the whole one of the most successful in the history of the society. The committee in charge was composed of: E. T. Kruge (chairman), R. Vandercook, C._ M. Plum, C.J. King, Peer Tiffany and John F. Pinkham. Mr. Vandercook served as floor manager for the dancing. A poll was taken of the men on the boat who wished to vote, the result being: For McKinley 201, Brvan 66, Palmer 1, for woman suffrage 140, against 121, It might be mentioned that there isa striking machine at El Campo for a test of strength, a creat iron-bound sledge being used. Among theathletes who hammered the thing all day but one man ‘“rangthe bell,” striking the heaviest blow possible on the machine. George H. Cabaniss struck the next best blow, 2250, and S. M. Bhortridge, his Prince Albert buttoned up to the collar as he appeared before his audience, came next, striking 2150. The feat was greeted with as hearty applause as was the best turned period of his oration. The last of the excursionists arrived in the City shortly after 6 o’clock, and the Admission day picnic of the pioneers for 1896 was over. O, BROWN'S SUCCESSOR Rev. Dr. Adams of St. Louis to Be Called as Temporary Supply. Apparent Unanim ty of Action by the Divided Membership of the First Church. Deacon Morse has at last been check- mated. Those members of the First Con- gregational Society known during the Brown trial as the ‘*‘opposition” have made their demand that the church build- ing be opened and that demand has been heeded. Last night the prayer-meeting of the society wes held in the church building. Mr. Morse, as senior deacon, presided. ‘The usual hymns and testimonies were given, after which the business meeting convened. Deacon Morse opened the proceedings by reading & guantity of correspondence having reference to the supplying of the First Congregational pulpit. The first let- ter was from Edward Kimball, formerly a member of the First Congregational Church of this Cits, but now of St. Louis. He said he had heard of the present sad state of affairsin the church lately under the pastoral charge of Dr. Charles O. Brown, and recommended that the Rev. Dr. Geor-e C. Adams of 8t. Louis be asked to supply the pulpit for the time being. Some other correspondence was read, and at length a letter from Dr. Adams was repeated to the assembly. The reverena gentleman said his present salary was $3500 a year, and he would expect at least an equivalent should he come to this City, seeing that he had occupied the pulpit of the Compton Congregational Church in St. Louis for the past fifteen years at that salary. Rev. Mr. Warren said he had heard Mr. Adams preach, and regarded him as a most desirable man for the place. Deacon Barnard agreed with Mr. Warren. He said Dr. Adams had built u; a powerful church in St. Louis, and woulg be just the man tor the place. Other speakers followed in the same strain, after which Mr. Warren moved that Dr. Adams be called to supply the pulpit. The motion being second: by Attorney Charles G. Nagle was put toa vote and carried unanimously. It is expected that the Rev. Dr. Adams will arrive here within a fortnight. Mean- while members of the church are anxi- ously awaiting the action of the Bay Con- ference at its meeting in December. —_—— TO-NIGHT’S MEETINGS. Plenty of Speakers and Lots of Entertalnment.

REASONS FOR DECLINING Cannot Indorse the Anarchistic Platform of the Rump Democracy. REPUBLICANS IN SOLID LINE. The Democratic Party in California Demora ized — A Tidal Wave of Home Rule. As surely as the tides in the bay ebb and flow, so surely is the tide of protection rising all over California, and it will con- tinue to rise until it reaches its flood on the 3d of next November. The Democratic forces are already demor- alized beyond repair. Every day comes the news of some well-known life-long Demo- crat breaking away from the party of anarchy and free trade, and demanding that the languishing industries of the Pa- cific Coast be rehavilitated. The scouts sent out through the community by the Democratic leaders bhave returned with discouraging reports, to the effect that citizens generally deciine to trust the business men have had their eyes opsnedv to the great necessity tor protection. Itahan, French, German, Scandinavian and Spanish newspapers published in this City and read by a constituency number- ing 50,000, have hoisted the banner of Me- Kinley and grolection and are doing good work every day with hammer and tongs for the cause. Already a Germen McKin- ley club has been organized with an active subscribing membership of 1800, and nat- uralized citizens of the other nationalities, notably the Spanish and Italian, have formed themselves voluntarily into clubs in order to push on the gond work. The latest example of growing strength is the organization in this City a few even- ingsago of a club composed almost excla- sively of Democrats who have repudiated Bryan and free trade and who have volun- tarily pledged themselves to make the fight for protection to home products. They are tired of the competition of Eng- lish pauper labor. : Edward Baker of Los Angeles visited the rooms of the Republican State Central Committee vesterday afternoon and made a good report of the feeling in that county. The Democrats were very noisy down there, but the Republicans were quietly doing much eff-ctive work. ‘W. W. Scudder of Petaluma reports that around the best poultry center in the State the majority of the farmers, labor- ers and husiness men are for protection and will render a good account of them- selves on election day. James J. Dolan of Coulterville, formerly & hotbed of free trade and Democracy, finds an entirely different condition of affairs in that vicinity now. The wool- raisers and others have had an object les- son as to the beauties of the Democratic system of tariff for revenue oniy, and they have been hit so hard in the pocket by it that they will not scon forget the experience. The demand for the protec- tion of home products and home rule for America regardless of the interests of British manufacturers is growing stronger and more persistent every day. Hart Downer, editor of the Crockett Record, a sturdy Republican, has a good word to say about the ioyalty of his part of the State. Republicanism is all right in Crockett. ‘What's the matter with Crockett? O'Bryan and Sewall can’t knock it Nor can the Democracy stock it: And thai's what's the mait-r with Crockett. Poetical San Franciscans are composing campaign doggerel. The following are the latest instances: There was & young man from Nebraska: He could drive all the seals from Alasks, Wiih the wind of his jaw And the noisy hee-haw affairs of the country into the hands of the Democracy for another four years. The latest gap in the front rank is the passive defection of ex-Congressman Thomas J. Geary of the First District. Mr. Geary was requested by the Demo- cratic State Central Committee to stump the State for Bryan and free trade, and politely declined. When asked for uis reasons, he replied that he was neither a gold Democrat nor a silver Democrat, but a Democrat of the old school, and he could not by a public appearance on the stump during the present campaign lend his assent to the piank in the Chicago plat- form denouncing the Supreme Court of the United States—a plank which had too much of a Jack Cade flavor to be indorsed by any conservative, law-abiding citizen. It taught contempt of the hig.est legal tribunal in the land, the overthrow of which would be a fatal blow at the liberties of the people. Mr. Geary also refused to sup] the plank condemning President Cleveland for calling out the United States troops to remove the obstructions to the forward- ing of the United States mails. r. Geary declares himself out of fiu tics during this campaign. He will a looXker on, and there is a suspicion afloat that he will not weep when Major McKin- ley shall have been declared duly elected President of the United States. The Republican party of this State i splendialy or;niux- and is doing excels lent campaign work. Workingi and ‘That declared him 10 be & jackasska.
