The throngs of people cheered the music and saluted the colors as the column formed to march to the Hollenbeck Hotel. As the procession moved along Fifth and Spring streets to the hotel it was ob- served that the city was beautifully dressed in flags and streamers in honor of the home-coming of a worthy eciti- zen who had been called by the good people to meet a great responsibility. All along the route tributes of re- spect were paid to the nominee and those who escorted him. The culminat- ing crush came at the Hollenbeck, where Mr. Gage stood for nearly two hours receiving the congratulations of the callers. In order to allow him a breathing spell, a little respite before the arduous duties of the evening be- “Shall We Say: gan, the committee found it necessary to turn back the throng of visitors. Celebrated as this city is for great political demonstrations, it never saw anything to surpass the tremendous enthusiasm and remarkable outpouring of the masses to-night. Early in the evening special excursion trains bring- ing thousands of visitors and partici- pants began to arrive. The people to swell the resident throng came from Riverside, Redlands, San Bernardino, Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Santa Ana, Orange and other places. Before night the streets were densely packed. Marching clubs, headed by bands of music, added to the interest. The main procession was slow in or- ganizing, but the magnificent display of fireworks and the strains of pat- riotic music compencated for the delay. The column, headed by Henry T. Gage and escorts in carriages, moved along Spring street to Sixth, to Main, to First street, along First street, to Broadway and thence to the pavilion. On either side the streets were dense- ly jammed with cheering spectators, and from many buildings there were beautiful displays of illuminated en- thusiasm and a generous offering of pyrotechnics. The Democratic Herald, ‘We Do Not Want the Philippines?’ ” catching the tone of the multitude, burned red fire “nd exploded fireworks. The Americus Club of Pasadena. uni- formed in attractive style, elicited many compliments. The Columbia Club, the First Ward Club, the Young Mcn's Republican League, the Army and Navy Republican League, El Do- rado Club of Mexicans led by a Mexi- can band, the Santa Ana Republican Club and other organizations joined ‘the column and were cheered all along the line from start to finish. The appearance of the nominee for Governor was always the signal for a storm of applause, and the clapping of hands could be heard a mile away. The mottoes on the transparent ban- ners called out ringing cheers of appro- val. The sentiment “Keep the Philip- pine-" everywhere exc *ed cheers. “The Republican Party Will Build the Nica- raguan Canal” was another sentiment that evoked a cheering response from the multitude. As the marching clubs and the great stream of spectators entered the pavil- jon the scene was inspiring to the high- est degree. The demonstrations of ap- plause followed each other in such swift succession and grew in such intensity with each succeeding outburst that the “What Right Has the Demo- cratic Party to Complnln?’: 6000 0 o 06 06 0 00 00 X0 06 206 6 06 206 06 10 0K 06 X0 06 006 06 16 X0 0 06 13 20 06 0K X0 30 0K 1 10 0K 10120 0 X0 0% 010K 3o 20 X0 X0 10 06 0% 0% 0¥ S0 20 08 06 30306 30 06 X0 30306 06 08 3030 206 06 30 XK 00 X 10 30 30K 0K 06 30 30K 00 10 200 300 06 6 00 X ROOK KNI RO MO R N O G N RN R O 0 0 1 oy ANGELES OVATION TO CALIFORNIA’S NEXT GOVERN vast audience on the main floor and the | double tier of galleries arose and joined in the acclaim.

When Luther H. Brown, chairman of the rati- fication committee, called the audience to attention he mentioned the name of Henry T. Gage, and this was the signal for another demonstration’ that even surpassed all the preceding manifesta- tions of enthusiasm. Assembled on the platform Governor H. H.

Davis, and many other eminent Repub- licans who commented on the brilliant | inauguration of the campalgn, and pre- | dicted complete success for the Repub- | lican State ticket.

I belicve it is always in order for Republicans to gather together and felicitate themselves if upon nothing ‘else han upon the mere fact that they are. embers of a party whose achieveménts In the past have been so glorious and whose prospects for the future are so flattering. It is doubly appropriate, therefore, that we should have assembled here this evening not only as Republi- cans to ratify the nominations made by the representatives of vur party in con- veition assembled but, I trust, as friends and neighbors to do a special honor to our distinguished fellow citizen who' has. been selected by the great Republican party to be its candidate for the highest office in the gift of the people of the State—the Hon. Henry T. Gage. (Ap- plause.) . Fellow citizens, since the close of the Civil War the greatest epoch in the his- tory of this marvelous country began a few short months ago, when our ulti- matum was pronounced to Spain by that calm, courageous, wisely conservative man, who now stands at ti.c helm of the ship of state—our honored President, Willlam McKinley. (Applause.) The war which followed that announce- ment was inspired by no spirit of na- tional greed, was begun from no hope of material gain, was not even -prompted by for the treacherous destruction in a friendly port of qne of our stately battle-ships and the miserable death of her gallant crew.
