The route | of the procession was along Meyers, Bird, Montgome: Lincoln and Hun- toon streets. The Gridley band headed | the' marching column. The Oroville band was at the head of the second di- vision. Henry T. Gage and George C. Perkins joined the column. Before 8 o’clock 3000 people were as- sembled near the Union Opera-house, but not more than 1000 could gain ad- mission to the hall. A desire was ex pressed for an open air meeting, in or- der to allow all th: assembled to see and hear the next Governor and Sena- tor Perkins. It was deemed advisable, however, to hold the meeting indoors | and crowd as many people in the house as the space would admit. The assemblage was called to order by Judge Gr who named the follow- | nowned Gridle band, y ing vice presidents: Oroville—E. Tuck- | er, J. J. Smith, W. Fogg, G. M. | Sparks, N. Goldstein, C. H.

The mention of the standard-bearer's name in the introductory remarks of Judge Gray called forth prolonged ap- glause. When the cheering subsided Ir. Gage expressed his gratitude and pleasure at the magnificent reception | and predicted that November 8 would | bring the grandest triumph for Repub- | lican principles ever recorded in Cali- | fornia. This prediction evoked a mighty round of cheers. | Mr. Gage proceeded at once to reply | to Judge Maguire’s advocacy of the sin- | gle tax doctrine, and so portrayed the dangers lurking in the scheme that the | audience listened with marked attention | to every utterance of the speaker on this all-absorbing issue. Maguire’s | weak record on the railroad question was held up to the people, while the un- | American attitude of the office-holding glant received deserved attention. In regard to the administration of State affalrs Mr. Gage promised to guard the | interests of the people and render jus- | tice to every citizen of California. His earnest and eloquent address won the | admiration and applause of the vast | assemblage. Senator George C. Perkins received a cordial greeting. He spoke with feel- ing as he referred to the assoclations of bygone years. He spoke of the many changes In the industrial features of the county, mentioning the vast treas- » | | | | | turnout and the 1 held a rousing meeting to-night at Music | speeches by Colomel T. { preme Judge V | Governor on the Democratic ticket.

Proceeding to a @iscussion of politi- cal tonics the Senator spoke at length on national affairs. He reviewed the work of President McKinley's adminis- tration, indicating where the industrial conditions of the country had been bet- tered by the protective policy of the na- tion. The address throughout followed the line of, his masterly speech at Woodland. ' His reference to the achievements of the Oregon, the gal- lantry of American soldiers and sail- ors, the patriotism of the American people evoked heartv rounds of an- ~lause. The success of the meeting to- night of Butte County voters, the vast remarkable enthu- E m displayed, inspire the Republi- cans with renewed confidence. This county was carrled for Bryan, but the Republicans are confident of their abil- ity to win out for Gage and Neff on No- vember 8. To-night's demonstration was a record breaker for the numbers assembled. To-morrow morning at 4 o’clock Mr. Gage will leave for Vallejo and to- morrow night will address the voters of Solano~ County. He is somewhat fatigued by rising at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning and speaking late at night. But his voice is not :mnaired. i ROUSING GILROY MEETING. Good Government Leaguers of Santa Clara Are Heard. GILROY. Cal.,, Oct. 2.—The Good Gov- ernment League of Santa Clara County Previous to the meeting bonfires ed on the main streets, anvils werés fired. and the Gilroy band furnished lively music. At the hall Dr, Bonne, a promin- ent Democrat, presided. State politics were dispensed with and county politics handled thout gloves by Judge J. R. Lewis, Eli Wright, D. H. Bryant and oth- ers from San Jose. Several of the league’s candidates were present and made short speeches. The colored quartet frem San Jose contributed vocal music. | JAMES G.

He guaranteed that the money in the city treasury would be counted here- after instead of “hefted” in the Demo- REMOVED HIS STOMACH. Physicians Pronounce the Operation Successful, but the Patient Dies. Another attempt at the sensational ope- ration of removing a stomach was made yesterday morning at the City and ounty Hospital. According to the phy- slcians and the assembled students the operation was most successful, despite the fact that the patient succumbed.* John Hoffmann is the name of the un- fortunate. For some months he was the victim of a cancerous growth, malig- nant in nature. All other treatment proving futile it was decided that the removal of the stomach was necessary and preparations were made yesterday for an immediate operation. In the absence of Dr. R. A. McLean, Dr. Brigham, assisted by Dr. Tillman, Dr. Roach and Dr. Boyd, performed the operation. Some other physicians were resent, among whom were Dr. Hopkins, r. Sussdorf and Dr. Moffitt. The patient was much weakened in health by the rav- ages of the dread disease, and a perni- cious anaemia which had so enervated his system that little reserve strength was left to survive the operation. The initial incision was made by Dr. Brigham, Dr. Tillman handling the hae- mostatic forceps. Proceeding rngldly the mesentery, the fold enveloping the stom- ach, was detached from the greater curv- ature, the lower part of the stomach. A small adhesion to the liver was found, but this did not deter the operation. The mesentery removed, the esophagus was severed near the cardiac opening of the stomach. The incision was made be- tween two ligatures bound near the car- diac opening. The ascending colon was then cut and the stomach removed. A Murphy button was inserted and the as- cending colon bound to the esophagus. TUp to this point the operation was suc- cessful. The patient then showed signs of syncope, which- necessitated the ad- ministration of strychnine and aztropine. Life was sustained until thé .close, but as attendants were removing the patient to the ward he succumbed. —— —————— MONTEREY CHINATOWN FIRE. MONTEREY, Oct. 25.—A fire started in Chinatown about 6 o'clock last evening. It originated in ome of the.huts at the northern end of the town owned by “Chinese Mary,” and was caused by the overturning of a lamp or oil stove. In a few moments the whole section was on fire. The Monterey fire company was promptly on hand, but was unable to ren- der much assistance, there being no hy- drant to which hose could be attached. The flames were finally subdued by means of small hose and lines of bucket passers, and by 9 o'clock the fire was nearly out. About a fourth of the village was burn- ed. the loss of nets, tackle and other fishing paraphernalia being considerable. The damage is estimated at between $500 and $800. THREE BARNS BURNED. STOCKTON, Oect. 2.—News reached here to-day to the effect that three barns belonging to Mrs. Nate Hoerl, whose ranch is situated on the Stanislaus River, twenty-five miles from.Stockton, were set on fire and entirely consumed, with their contents, early Sunday morning. Thirty tons of hay, a large quantity of straw, a buggy, two carriages, a spring wagon and twenty sets of harness were consumed. The barns were so situated that the fire could not have caught from one of them, being €o far apart, without human aid.

REPUBLICANS IN CONTROL THE CONGRESSMAN PAYS HIS RESPECTS TO MAGUIRE. Mr. Davis Urges the People to Re- turn His Companion to Wash- ington to Aid the Ad- ministration. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Oct. 25.—A large audience greeted Congressman Loud and Web- ster Davis, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, at the Auditorium this even- ing. The place was filled and the audi- ence was one of the most intellectual ever seen at a political gathering. A large number of ladies were present. Great enthusiasm prevailed and the words of the speakers received rapt at- tention. The Army and Navy League, 200 strong, under command of D. J. McGin- ley, and headed by the Fifth Regiment Band, escorted Congressman Loud and Mr. Davis from the St. James Hotel to the Auditorium. The guests, with the reception committee, occupied a car- riage drawn Ly four black horses. The following gentlemen composed the committee: G. M. Bowman, J. R. Patton, C. H. Phillips, H. J. Edwards, O. A. Hale, Archie McDonald, A. E. Eaton, D. J. Porter, Dan McGinley, S. F. Leib, D. F. McGraw, D. L. Haas, L. Callisch, T. S. Montgomery, Senator H. V. Morehouse and W. A. Bowden. The line of march was thronged with people, who cheered Congressman Loud and party. D. F. McGraw, chairman of the Re- order. The list of vice presidents in- cluded prominent men from all over the county. S. F. Leib was then intro- duced as chairman of the meeting. He urged the people to elect a Republican Congress to uphold the policy of the administration. As long as we have industries to protect we don’t want to fail to elect that kind of Congressmen. Congressman Loud was then intro- duced, and his popularity was at -once apparent by the close attention and- ap- plause he received. He said it was gratifying to Californians that San Joseans turned out in such force to do honor to the Republican party and one of the trusted lieutenants of Pres- ident McKinley, and it spoke louder than words that Santa Clara County, the garden spot of the world, approved of his course. A glance at the faces present ‘showed a fair sample of the | women who live in | Santa Clara County. The speaker said he was here to talk a while regarding some of the issues confronting the people; to discuss the men who lead and enunciate the prin- ciples of the opposing party. The course of McKinley and the policy of the administration was praised. The Democrats had charged the Republican party with not keeping its pledges, but this was not so. The Republican party had made but one pledge, and that was to endeavor to bring peace, happiness | and better times to the country. He did not belfeve any man could say this pledge had not been kept. They could not deny the administration was wise and the condition of the country better | than it was in 1833. No industrial armies were marching through the country and | every man felt assured of protection to life and happiness. Maguire was then discussed. The speaker said the standard bearer of the combination party had discussed him (Loud), and he proposed to pay his re- spects to the fusion candidate. Ma- guire had addressed the people here a short time aro. and he had a right to show the ~eople that they had been de- ceived by the pinto standard bearer. He saild Maguire had performed his duties as well as the average Congress- man, but the people of California had been led to believe he was the only man who ever represented California in that body. Magulre had received more advertis- ing than any man who ever went from this State. The Democratic candidate for Governor had tried to drag the funding bill into the campaign. This measure had been settled by the high- est authority in the land, and no party could hope to bring the question into political affairs. He then told about the passage of the bill in Congress. The matter came up just when the country was on the verge of war, and only after due deliberation of Congress was this settlement of the debt of the Union and Central Pacific railroads agreed upon. The action taken was deemed best to secure the $60,000,000 owed by the rallroads. Senator White, the peer of any Democrat intellectu- ally, was more directly responsible for the adoption of the funding bill. Maguire has come back from Con- gress the personification of honesty. He is impressed with the idea that no other man has the interest of California at heart. He tells you that at two sessions of Congress he defeated the funding bill. At those times he only spoke five minutes, and it is surprising that the eloquence of his voice should so easily defeat the bill. In this last Congress he had control of the time to speak— you know how long he can talk when he gets started—and yet the bill passed. Maguire has secured the passage of the Maguire act and had helped in other measures. He was willing to give him credit for it and everything else, except being Congress itself. If you elect Ma- guire Governor you will go back to the conditions of 1896, of which he is the greatest living exponent to-day; elect him Governor and you will experience the times you had from 1892 to 1896. Maguire also saild that if Cralg was elected to Congress he would get a sur- vey of Alviso Slough. This was not so. The question of the preliminary survey of Alviso Slough had been determined upon three times and each time was reported adversely by the engineers. The speaker had done all he could for the project. Over $5000 had already been expended on the harbor. Next winter the question would be taken out of Santa Clara County politics, and no man could ex- pect to gain political preferment by raising it. The combination party pregents to Californians one peculiar feature—com- mendation of the acts of McKinley. The fusionists know the temper of the people too well. They say McKinley is the best President the country ever had and then ask you to elect men to Con- gress who will upset his plans and poli- cies. The Democrats say the Republi- cans claim the glory of the war. This is not so. They only favored war when nothing else would do. The eagerness of the Democrats to plunge the country into war was touched upon, and the speaker said when war came they quibbled over and delayed pro- viding means for carrying it on. Congressman Loud said Maguire had said the tax on express packages, tele- grams, sleeping car berths and checks on banks was an iniquity on poor peo- ple, but the speaker pointed out that poor people &id not make it a practice to indulge in such things. He said the Demoecrats claim Dewey and Schley are members of their party. He had known both personally for years and simply knew them as American citizens who had dedicated their lives to their coun- try, and belonged to the party that sus- tained it. The war had reunited the country and people from the North and South, sons of the old reb and the old Yank, had marched side by side to de- fend the flag. He closed by urging the people to support McKinley. The contest of 1900 would be fought in 1898. The success of the Democrats meant Bryanism in 1900, “Support McKinley, believe in his courage and wisdom, uphold and sustain him is the proper thing to do. Don’t tie his hands by giving the con- trol of Congress into the hands of the opposition.” Several selections were rendered by the Colored Southern Quartet, after which Chairman Leib introduced Web- ster Davis, who said in part: “When I Lstened to the young colored gentlemen singing so lovely my thoughts for a moment turned to dear old Missouri. We have about 50,000 colored voters there, and every one of them is a Republican too. The Demo- crats and Populists claim all the glory of the war, and every prominent man who took part in the war with Spain. There is one exception, thank God, and that is the brave black boys who fought like wild cats and saved the day at Santiago. No, they wont claim black boys. No truer American or patriotic blood flows through veins than that of the black boys who fought at Santi- ago.” > Mr. Davis pald the State a great trib- ute. He said the fruitful orchards and vineyards and splendid farms were the homes of intellectual men and wo- men, who had come from all parts of the country. Callornia was a grand State, and with our new possessions California would soon be regarded as the center of the United States and be- come the distributing point for the Western isles. The Republican party favored this sort of progression, and it would be many dollars in the pockets of Californians to vote for the Repub- Hean party. To accomplish this he urged the citizens of Santa Clara County to do all in their power to re- elect Congressman Loud, as he would look after their interests and the coun- try’s interests. He said: “The way for you to do is to send men who are in harmony with the President to Congress, men who will support his measures who will assist him in the solution of those great prob- lems which are coming up for solution; men who will stand with him In open- ing up that great Western country. Then the result will be that wonderful and magnificent prosperity, to which we are looking forward to spring up in this Western country, and the peo- ple of California will be the first peo- ple to enjoy the profits and benefits, (Applause.) “The way for you to do, then, I say, is to send men who will support and not oppose him. The majority of Dem- ocrats and Populists in the last Con- gress, and the free silver element of both of these parties, opposed the Pres- ident in almost everything he desired. They opposed almost every single, soli- tary war measure save the first one, that of voting $50,000,000 to the Presi- dent to carry on the war. All the other great questions proposed by him they opposed; they pulled back and ob- structed; they became filibusters. “The result will be, if you return that class of men to Congress so that there will be a majority of that class there, to bring to a standstill the progressive policy of the present administration for the next two years and the President Wwill not be able to accomplish the great results that have marked his adminis- tration for the past two years. Then the thing for you to do as patriots of your country is to return men who stand for the grandeur and glory of California as well as of this republic. “It is your duty to send to Congress the kind of men who have represented you in this district in the past; a man who will uphold the President, a man with a clear head and honest heart, a man who is able, more than any of his colleagues on the floor of Congress; a strong, manly man, an American, one who can sustain the interests of the country, an honor to its flag; one who is able to help settle the great ques- tions that will confront us in the fu- ture in the development of the islands of the Paclfic seas. Such a man is the splendid man who addressed you to- night, and you should stand by him on the 8th of next month and return him to Congress.” (Applause.) “The principles and policies of the Re- publican party are in favor of prosper- ity and you should give your support to the Republican party to insure it. A new era is dawning. The foremost man of the twentleth century is Wil- liam McKinley.” | After the meeting Congressman Loud | and Mr. Davis were entertained and feasted at the Saint Claire Club. MEETING AT GRAHAM’S HALL. One of the best meeings of the campaign was held at'Graham’'s Hall, on Alabama | street and Precita avenue, last night. John T. Graham, the leader of the Re- publican forces of the district, spared no | cost or pains in gathering every voter in the section to his hall to hear words of wisdom from the leaders of the Republi- can party. The meeting was called to or- der by Mr. Graham, who in a few appro- priate words welcomed the speakers and the voters to the meeting. He introduced H. 8. Millzner, who said he appeared for the County Committee in the interest of the Republican_party of the city and county of San Francisco. He spoke of the principles of the party and the excellence of the nominees put forth by that party, all of whom would be elected beyond a shadow of a doubt. H. N. Clement, one of the nominees for Superfor Judge, was the next speaker. He refrained from discussing the issues of the campaign, but assured his hearers that when elected all should have the laws admitted fairly and e}qua.lll‘;. Attorney General W. F. Fitzgerald, nominee for City and’/County Attorney, on being introduced received an ovation sel- dom accorded to any candidate running for a local office. He gave a short outline of the Flal(nrm upon which the candi- dates stood before the people, dwelling upon that gomon ‘which assured the peo- ple the right to acquire all public utilities. Judge D. Murph?', nominee for Dis- trict Attorney, was given a hearty recep- tion. The Judge, being well known in that ortion of the Mission, he was quite at ome with the boys. H. 8. Martin made a few remarks and apologized for having to depart so soon from such a “warm’ meeting for the pur- pose of attending other meetings. He re- ceived a parting cheer as he left the hall. ‘What was accorded to the other candi- dates in the way of a warm reception was but child’s play to what arles L. Pat- ton recefved when he made his appear- ance at 10 o'clock. He delivered a vote- catching address and fairly captured the entire crowd. There were several men in the body of the meeting who knew Patton since he was a Mission boy attending tue Mission Grammar School, and these men were loudest in their applause, because the big, genial man was a_genial of happy disposition who worked himself up to what he is without the aid of a father’s wealth. The following Republican candidates were present, and each made a few ap- propriate remarks: John Lackmann, E. L. Head, Dr. Haw- king, A Attridge, 'Thomas F. Graham, W. A. Deane, Asa R. Weils, Bdward 1. Shee- han, L_J. Truman, Charles S. Tiiden, R. H. Webster, John A. Drinkhouse and A: N B. Treadwel .Death of J’onpg Ashford.

MAGUIRE TALKS 10 TWO CROWDS Colusa and Willows Greet the Single-Taxer. MANY DEMOCRATS ASSEMBLE TO HEAR THEIR LEADER. His Audience at Willows Afterward Listens to General Salomon Refute His Argu- ments. Special Dispatch to The Call. COLUSA, Oct. 25. — Colusa gave James G. Maguire a hearty welcome to- day. Judge Maguire and E. L. Hutchi- | son drove over from Willows this after- noon and were met by a large erowd of citizens. At the meeting later the Col- lege City Band furnished the music, while Judge H. M. Albery presided. The Democratic county candidates were seated on the platform. The ap- pearance of Judge Maguire called forth loud applause from the overflow erowd outside and those in the hall as he entered, accompanied by Mr. Hutchi- son, Mr. Arnold, chairman of the County Central Committee, and other members of the committee. Judge Maguiré was introduced by Judge Albery with a few appropriate remarks,. His speech was along the lines of the campaign issues embodying his ideas regarding the single tax and the money question. Judge Maguire was followed by Mr. Hutchison, who held the inzerest of the audience astonishingly well under the circumstances. He gave his views on governmental principles, on corpor- ations, the railroads and other moneyed institutions and their bearings upon government and upon legislation. He suggested remedies for the ills of the country and urged the people to do their duty at the polls to correct these abuses to free humanity from the moneyed power. WILLOWS, Oct. 25.—Every Democrat in this county, anvarently, was in Wil- lows to-day to attend the Maguire meeting which took place this after- noon. Maguire and Hutchizon were welcomed with brass bands, anvil sa- lutes and cheers. Mr. Maguire talked for an hour and a half, the major por- tion of his talk dealing with corpora- tions, principally the Southern Pacific. An immense crowd listened to Maguire, and there was plenty of enthusiasm. Ta-night the Republicans are holding a rally, and many of the country peo- ple who are here to see Maguire are lis- tening to the other side as propounded by E. L. Salomon. Mr. Salomon i~ tak- ing up Maguire's speech noint for point, and pulling the props from under the arguments as presented by the Demo- cratic leader. The campaign is at fever heat here. SENATOR Wi HITE AT WATSONVILLE WATSONVILLE, Oct. 25. — Senator ‘White delivered a forty-minute open- air speech to about five hundred people to-night. Notwithstanding it was one | of his best efforts he had an unusually cold audience, winning his first ap- plause about midway of his address, when he eloquently referred to the Stars and Stripes. Much of the speaker’s time was de- voted to an explanation of the acts of himself and his Democratic colleagues in Congress with reference to the war measures. He assured his hearers that the Republican majority deserved con- demnation when it refused to follow the dictates of the Democratic minor- ity. If it had done right everything would have been well. His auditors were in- formed that they were not voting for party, that the so-called national issue did not cut any figure and that this was a State affair. He talked much about the war, denounced the idea that the Republican party was entitled to any special credit for its conduct and | earnest]y endeavored to convince the | drinkers of beer and users of tobacco| that they were defraying the expense of the recent conflict and being ground to the earth by taxation. He also ex- pressed the fear that the Peace Com- mission in Paris would do something by which some one would be enabled to make money. The Republican party was denounced because there is no representative mer- publican candidate for Congress, was referred to as a man who is making speeches unfit to discuss or post on the fences. He had little to say for Barlow, except that he was experienced and ought not to be removed. The Populist element was “jollied” handsomely, and Shanahan and his followers were per- mitted to escape with a mild rebuke. Mr. White then took up Maguire's candidacy and asked: *“Do you know Maguire?” Despite the fact that Macguire was born and raised here the ' guery brought forth no applause. In a somes what labored effort the speaker en- deavored to satisfactorily explain Ma- guire's single tax doctrine, and_ told his hearers of the difficulties the Dem- ocratic candidate would meet in en- deavoring to put his theory into prac- tice. Maguire’s honesty of purpose was dwelt upon, and voters were urged to support that gentleman particularly be- cause of his experience in office and of the fact that he had “a judiclal mind.” Those who expected Mr. White to de- cry Henry T. Gage were grievously dis- appointed. He referred to him as a warm friend for twenty vears, and the only reason the speaker gave why the people should not support the Repub- lican standard bearer was that he had “not had experience.” It was a manly speech and deserved a better reception than was accorded it by the Demo- crats present, considering the fact that this is Mr. White's birthplace. Enthusiastic Railroad Men. The members of the Railroad Men’s Club of the Thirty-fiftth District had a rousing meeting last evening at their hall at Twenty-ninth and Mission streets, and were addressed upon the political situa- tion by nearly all of the Republican municipal nominees. The club has taken an active interest and part in the campaign since the be- ginning, and the 300 members who were present at the meeting last evening were enthusiastic over the outlgok for party success when it was pointed out to them. ‘Among the speakers who addressed the meeting were Charles L.

Three Representatives of Labor Urge the Election of James G. Maguire for Gov- ernor, PR v A meeting which was announced as a spontaneous tribute to Judge Maguire by the workingmen of this city was held in Metropolitan Hall last night. It was also announced as a preliminary méeting prior to a big mass meeting of workingmen to be held in the interests of Judge Maguire. When the meeting was called to order by W. P. Lawler the hall was well filled. About 9 o'clock there was a movement toward the doors and the chalrman, George Bromfield, begged them to remain sepfed, as Mayor Phelan would soon make s appearance and charm them with his eloquence. They, however, gradually kept leaving and before the close of the meeting there was a beggarly array of empty benches, not more than sixty or seventy people being left in the hall. And Mayor Phelan never came. Governor Budd was the first speaker. He thought it was eminently proper that if corporations combined as clubs to de- feat Judge Maguire their employes should come out in mass meetings for Maguire and show him that he had at least as many men ,supporting him as those brought out against him by the corpora- tions of the State. The contemplated mass meeting would be a protest that la- bor cannot be moved to vote one way at any one's bidding. He declared that 40,- 000 out of the 50,000 Populists in the State would vote for Maguire and his election was therefore sure. The Governor plead- ed for harmony among the Democrats to win the victory and he pledged himself that he would see that two years hence a primary law would be in force for this city. 9. H. MecCarthy, who s at present house_carpenter in the California Hotel, said that if the workingmen wanted laws that would be fair and equal to all they must have Maguire for Governor. As an instance of what Judge Maguire had done he sald that when San Francisco had got more than its usual share of the “live- stock” at the outbreak of the late war (meaning soldiers), the contracts for mak- ing their uniforms was given to Chinese, and the matter was submitted to Wash- | ington and Judge Maguire fought it out in the halls of Congress. “Jim’ Phelan, he said, was attacked by the press for not being & friend of labor, but he knew per- sonally that the charge was unfounded and “Jim" gsd done leverytmng to raise the downtrodden people. John H. Marble of the Printers’ Union spoke of the initiative and referendum and urged the laboring men to vote for Maguire and Barry, who believed in them. He said it had gone forth from Fourth and Townsend that four candidates must be defeated at all costs and they were Maguire, Barry, Hinton and Dunn, but the workingmen would see that these men were not defeated. Herman Gutstadt, ex-president of the Federated Trades, sald Maguire held a more prominent position than any other man in the United States as a friend of the laboring classes, and hundreds of thousands in the East were watching the result of his contest for the gubernatorial chair, B‘dy this time the hall was almost em‘ny and as there was no sign of the coming of Mayor Phelan, Everett 1. Woodman, candidate for State Printer, was put for- ward to fill the breach. He talked for a few minutes on the benefits of organiza- tion, but as it was dull work he cut his remarks short. . James Donovan was called upon for a :sorg. He sang and n.;xf Phe- lan did not come. W. ton consent- talk for a few minutes, but he soon gave out and after a hurried consultation among those on the platform, it was de- walit no longer for the Mayor and people rose from their out. the few remainin seats and walke Independent Democrats. An enthusiastic meeting of the Inde- pendent Democrats of the Thirty-fourth Assembly District was held at Fox's Hall, Fifteenth and Guerrero streets last even- ing. Speeches were made by several members and resolutions were passed de- claring in favor of open primaries and de- nouncing. the methods adopted by the present and self-styled bosses of the Dem- acratic party as being against all prin- ciples of Democracy. The following reso- lution was adopted by & risin ‘Whereas, The principles of the Demo- cratic party have always been in favor of rewarding faithful and honest public ser- vants; and that that past records may ge ;1 guarantee for their future, therefore t e Resolved, That we, the Independent Democrats of the Thirty-fourth Assembly District, recognize the honesty and ability of the following candidates as our repre- sentatives: A, C.
