We uld have taken the Floridas and taken Cuba, too, then. (Prolonged ap- plause.) W en we annexed Texas and took it the Union, you will remember how uously the Whig party of the time :sisted that operation. It passed 1to history that the great speaker and orator of Ohio, Thomas Corwin, said he ‘hoped the Mexican armies would wel- come those of the United States with bloody hands and hospitable grav Yet .we conquered Mexico, and, under the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, acquired those territories. and the blessed land where we now live. The Oregon pur- chase had already preceded it. And when Mr. Seward, in 1567, leaped over the Brit- ish possessions and traded with Ru. for Alaska, vou ail remember with what shouts of derision the press of the United States, from one end of it to the other, ted that transaction. So it Is to- arly enough, there is 2 resist > the idea of acquiring possessions outside of the present lfmits -of the United States than to any other yroposed acquisition of territory the nited s has ever made. . For my part I hope and I believe that not one foot of the territory of which we have acquired possession, either by the ‘possession of the foot or by the theory .of law, will ever be surrendered. [Ap- plause and cheers.] I hope never to know that a single grave beneath which, under the tropic sun, lie the rotting remains of an American soldier, mingling with the sofl of those Islands, shall ever be sur- rendered by this Government to any other on the face of this earth!

I have often said that we do not love our country enough. We do not. We do not realize what a heritage we have. We do not realize how it is that in a cen. | tury and a quarter we have nearly a | hundred millions of people. The church and schoolhouse and farm and shop, and of living, have grown here so that we can never fear being hemmed }in by any people on the face of the globe. What a thought it is—that al- though all the world were to unite to shut up the United States and blockade its ports, and from inside and outside put an embargo on the receiving or send- ing out of any product of th the industry of man, no one of the 100.- 000,000 people would have le: to wear, or know, except for the orical fact that we were at war anybody. (Cheers.) We are a_queer people. We went into We have this war without getting mad. not got mad vet. (Laughter.) We have spent $150,000,000, and nobody thought of it, and when at last the protocol was signed and peace was practically assur- ed, nobody cared anything about that! (Laughter.) All you did was to haul down the flag that had been floating and needed mending; our wives mended it and laid it up for the next fight. (Laugh- ter.) I wonder if there is any people on the e of the globe that can sent such a record? What other nation permit | the people of the nation with whom they earth of to eat, less are at war to live among them in the enjoyment of all the blessings of peace without disturbance of any kind? Is there a people on the face of this earth as magnanimous as the American peo- ple? History presents no record of such a nation, and we shall go on until ar for commercial suprem within the next ten years volve this nation, because the in exchange is getting to be favor of this country, for we s 1d a billion of dollars more last ye n we bought, and five years of differences _will' bankrupt the world. eat (Cheers.)

LL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- o MENTO, Aug. 24.—County Clerk Frank Jordan. whe was at Sacramento vester- day when the statement of the Hilbor: commuttee regarding istration certi- ficates was published, has wired the fol- lowing r¥ly This tement of the Hilborn com- mittee ir, unjust, untrue and full of misstatements and misrepresentations Let my friends rest perfectly ared that my conscience absolutely clear on the proposition, and that I will not at an inch from the position I took atement previously published. I will, as soon as I return to Oakland, reply specifically to all the allegations contained in the answer. The facsimile of a blank _certificate purporting to be signed by J. B. Dean is a forgery—clumsy at that—and de- nounced by me on the day before the primary. As to the other charges made, to each and every one I hav reply, and it will be made just as soon as I re- turn. I repeat agi issued by m in my s ain that : certificates were office, signed in blank with an impress of tbe seal thereon, and that a lie that there were any blank cer- ent out in packages, or in any . or at all. I will' take pleasure in answering the statements of the Hilborn campaign com- mittee, and 1 am obliged to the mem- bers for the statement they have FRANK C. JORDA REA’S SON IN REBELLIOUS MOOD Trouble Caused’ by tl;e Action of the Political Gang in Deposing Professor Smith. SAN JOSE, Aug. 24.—Great interest is now centered on the outcome of the San Jose High School trouble. School opens Monday, and it is not thought that more than 100 out of the 350 pupils’ of the school will attend. The boys voted unani- mously not to attend the school unless Professor Smith was reinstated. Instead theboard elected Professor tueason to the place, and the outcome of the strike of the scholars will be watched with inter- majority of the pupils will go to nta_Clara high ecnools. Parents who stand in with the gang are deter- mined to drive their children to school, but many of the puplls are obstinate an wi Tom Rea, a son of “Boss” Rea, has rebelled against his father’s interference in the School Department. Young Rea declares he will go to the Santa Clara school. The bo ys the boy must go to the local school, and just who will come out ahead in the matter remains to be seen. Rea has offered his son all kinds of presents to induce him to change his mind, but without avail, and it looks now as though the political boss will have to make Some big sacrifices in order to keep Tom in the school. NOTICES OF EJECTMENY. Many Must Be Served to Clear Berry Place of Its Shame. The police are finding it a difficult job to notify all of the owners, lessees and occupants of the disreputable houses on Berry place. More than 150 persons must be served with papers. The residences of some are not known and can only be ascertained after persistent inquiry. Such is the statement given out at headquar- ters. Sergeant J. B. Martin, assisted by one of the policemen, has been busy sinca Tuesday morning serving the notices of ejectment. He says it will take several more days. It is believed that Be place will be cleared without any further opposition on the part of the denizens. e T T TO SUCCEED DR. MORSE. Several Physicians Mentioned for the State Board of Health. The question of who will succeed the late Dr. J. F. Morse as member of the State Board of Health is already being discussed.
