The speaker traced the financial legisla- tion from 1837 to date.

The Veteran Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Re- publican Club held a largely attended meeting at 113 Turk street on Friday and was addressed by Wilfred M. Peck of ' Riverside and Thomas B. O'Brien, candi- date for Congress from the Fourth Dis- trict. — DOWN SOUTH. Sentlment Beyond the Tehachap! Defined by Wiifred M. Peck. Wilfred M. Peck of Riverside, who has been making speeches for the Republican party in Southern California, is visiting iriends in this City. He reports the pros- pects for Republican success south of the Tenachapi as very bright. Riverside County is in better shape than it has ever been since its organization, as far as the Republicans are concerned. A large num- ber of old-line Democrats are outspoken in their support of McKinley, because they believe i sound money. They do not wish to vote for Palmer, because they believe that in that event their votes would be wasted. In Riverside County the Republican County Committee are making a scbool- hou-e campaign,with the result that places that were given up for Bryan are showing gains for McKinley rigut along. In Los Angeles County, outside of the city, the Republicans nLave been gaining for a month past, and thereis reasonable ground for believing that Los Angeles city will go Republican. It is safe to say,”” continued Mr. Peck, “that south offthe Tehachapi the Republis can party is in good shape and will fully hold its own. The reason for Republican gains in the south is because thisis a cam- paign of education and the thinking ele- ment has been studying the financial ques- tion and they know the 50-cent dollar is not the kind of money they are looking for in these hard times. Republican speakers have forced the issue of protec- tion, and as_fruits, nuts, olive oil and cat- tle-raising are industries of the south the people are beginning to.appreciate that what they need most in that part of ‘the The Good Old-Fashioned Political Gathering and Barbecue at Mount Eden, Alameda County, Cal., Where Hon.

A Statement From the State Coun~ cilor of the Junior Order of the United Amsarican Mechanics. The following communication is self- explanatory: SAN FRaNcCIScO, Sept. 19, 1896. Charles M. Short:idge Esq., Editor The Cal, City—DFAR SIR: An article in the issue of your japer of this date headed “‘A. P. A. Ticket Put in the Field” has had the effect of leading the public to velieve that the Junior Order of nited American Mechanics is represented in the convention mentioned in the article. 1 desire to correct this impression and em- hatically deny that any Councilof the Junior rder of Un:ted American Mechanics is repre- sented in that convention by deiegates p- pointed by suca council. On the contrary, the councils of this Cily have refused to se:d delegates for the reason that the laws and regu%ul ons prevent anv subordinate councii sending delegates to any organization or con- vention ucless the same has first had the ap- proval of the National body or the board of ofiicers thereof. The following is the regulation referred to and was adopted by the National Council at its session in Detroit, Mich., June 23, 1893, z.: “That no council be permitted to send repre- sentatives to any body or organization or asso- ciation that has not been first approved by the board of officers of the NaiionaiCouncil or has the Ipnl’uvnl of thisbody.” Furthermore, the constitution of subordinate councils provides, among other matters, that subjects of a sectarian or partisan character shall not be introduced into any meeting of this council, nor shall any member make use of the name of thisorderat a potitical meeting. No application has been made to the Nu- tional Council or its board of officers by any council of this City for the privilege of sending delegates to the convention above mentioned. If any member of that convention has repre- sented to the convention that certain delega:es or any delegates nad been sent or would be sent'by the Jr. 0. U. A. M. he stated something which was untrue. Furthermore if any dele- gates presented themselves for admission on the representation that they had been sent by or represented the Jr. 0. U. A. M. they used the name of the order without authority and were guilty of a williul misrepresentation. Trusting that you wili give this a place in your paper, I remain, very truly rours, .

The German-American Republican Club held its regular meeting on Friday at Nor- man Hall, 413 Bush street. The hall was simply packed, not even standing room being available. The meeting was ad- dressed at some length by Judge Carpen- ter, W. Reinhardt on behalfof the work- ingmen, and Dr. Paulson. ‘f‘hs speeches were very much appre- ciated by the club. The enroliment committee reported 1100 new members, making in ali something over 3000. i Thne financial committee’s report was very tavorable. After receiving other com- mittee reports it was resolved as follows: WHEREAS, The name of George A. Rutz, one of our most #etive members, has been favor- ably mentioned by the press and public for the office of Supervisor for the £leventh Ward at the coming elcction; and, whereas, as we be- lieve that Mr. Rutz is favorably known throurhout the City as a caprble business man and & good citizen, his nomination would be & favor and honor ta this ciub and il citi- ze:s of German birth or descent; be it, Resolved, That this elub joins'in asking our fellow-member, George A.

Charles M. Shortridge, Rev. Anna Shaw and Congressman Hilborn Speak. GREAT OUTPOURING OF THE MASSES. Friends of Protection Throng the Town’s New Wigwam—Fireworks and a Ball. MOUNT EDEN, Car., Sept. 19.—One of the largest political meetings ever held in this county was that at the new Mount Eden wigwam to-day. Besides music by a band, singing and speeches, there was a barbecue of the old-fashioned kind in the afternoon, concluaing with a ball and fire- works at night. Farmers drove in from all parts of the country to hear the speeches. The wigwam, a beautiful new structure with splendid acoustic properties, was handsomely draped with American flags, bunting and flowers, and the walls were decorated with pictures of the heroes of American history. A. W. Schaefer, Cap- tain R. Barron, E. H. Clawiter, H. Gans- berger, F. W. Wrede and other prominent citizens sat on the stage. The speakers of the afternoon were Charles M. Shortridge, Rev. Anna Shaw ana Congressman 8. G. Hilborn, Their speeches were brief, each discussing ihe issues in a different vein. The audience consisted of the best citizens of this part of the county, many women being present to hear Miss Shaw. The mention of Mc- Kinley's name was always the signal for great applause, and the meeting did much to increase the feeling for protection and prosperity here. The chairman of the evening was H. L. Petersen, who introduced - Charles M. Stortridge us the first speaker. Mr. Short- ridge said: “Ladies and Gentlemen: I do not know just why it 1s 1 am here, but as this beau- tiful structure is being dedicated to Re- publicanism, I feel at home in this place. [Appiause.] I cannot account for the presence of so many ladies, except that tbat eloquent woman, Rev. Anna Shaw, is to address you. I am glad you are here, and I welcome you.” [Cheers.] The speaker said he came to represent the Republican party, the principles of which he had believed in since boyhood. “Why? Because the Republican party has always stood for justice and right, as it stands to-day. Right here I want to say that T am in favor of woman’s rights, one of the principles of Republicanism, though I am probably encroaching upon Miss Shaw’s grounas in reierring to it; yet I cannot refrain from putting myself on record that way once more.” [Cheers.] The speaker dweit on the eviis of direct taxation and explained the cardinal prin- ciples of protection. “Noune of you likea poll tax,” he said, NEW TO-DAY.
