SANTA CRUZ, Sept. 9.—Santa Cruz has accomplished the biggest hearted ,st gorgeous reception in all her and there 10,000 Native Sons and Daughters and their friends vho are here and testifying to that fact with all the windiness of their well trained lungs.

There was neither hitch nor halt in it from the time the last section of the San Francisco special pulled into the depot with the last in- stallment of Native Sons. Grand Mar- hal Milton Besse and his chief aid, 1ve C. Martin of San Francisco, had heir forces in line by 10 o'clock. Half n hour later they escorted the San Jose parlors from the Union depot to the head of Pacific avenue, and at 11 o'clock welcomed the San Franciscans, and the celebration was on.

Grand Orator Byington Cre- ates a Profound Im- pression. SANTA CRUZ, Sept. 9.—The principal | feature of the literary exercises at the armory this afternoon was the splendid | speech of Lewis F. Byington, grand or- ator of the order of Native Sons. Bying- on’s speech is accepted by the hundreds | who heard it as the official expression of | the political leanings of a majority of the | members of the association for whom he spoke—that 18, in so far as he eschewed history and alluded to the political ques- tions of the day. The First Regiment band opened the programme, and Grand President Matti- | son followed with a cordial speech of wel- come to every visiting Son and Daughter, He also made it the occasion to speak in highest praise of Mr. Byington, whom he introduced as the orator of the day. | Byington said in part: | “Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens: It is | scarcely more than fifty vears ago since across | the peaceful waters of the bay by the side of which your homes are clustered the Stars and Stripes were first raised in the West to flash @ message of promise throughout the world that thenceforward and &or:v.r the soll of California was wedded to Union and era throughout this golden land, California, dressed In her robes of freedom, 'advanced to challenge the admiration of the world. \‘\'llh hat pride the patriotic citizen of this State can look abroad over the fair domain and note the wealth and beauty gathered there. Within her broad confines nature with a Iavish hand has scattered the fruits and treas- ures of a thousand favored climes. From where the lofty dome of Shasta lifts to heaven its never-fading covest of winter to the far southland perfumed with the fragrance of myriad orange groves she blossoms as the rose, Her sloping hills empurpled with the vine and fruited orchard, her valleys bright with golden grain, her mountains golden seamed. Glorlous, Californie, fs the heritage bequeathed to thy children, ~ Glorfous should thy future be. And vet, my friends, all the boundless wealth that sleeps within her hills or brightens all her plains would welgh as naught compared to her heritage of liberty and the blessings of free institutions resting upon & broad foun- datfon of noble manhood. Deep planted in the heart of very patriot is the sentiment of loyalty to something which is over and above all the material wealth and grandeur of nations; which weds him to the fofl mot on amccount of the abundance of its riches or the pleasant appearance of its land- scapes, out because upon that soil the insti- tutions he loves have found root and over it all is breathed the spirit of freedom sanctified by the deeds of Its martyrs. It is this senti- ment which carries us back to the trials and tribulations of our ploneer fathers, which stirs the heart at the recollection of ‘the achieve- ments of the hardy Continentals, which sancti- fles the memory of those Who gave to us the immortal declaration of a people's rights. It is this sentiment which soars loftily among ried their devotion to the sacred principles of liberty and proved their capacity for organ- izing the institutions of sel{-government. No braver, nobler, higher types of manhood have ever existed In the history of a nation than the ploneers who carved out the destinies of the great West. They were the bold spirits who and blazed the way for American clvilization planted the principles of free government and the seeds of education in the trackless forests and upon_the hitherto unexplored shores of the Pacific. With the march of progress followed | the seminary, the college, the university, until now there has blossomed on every plain and valley and mountain 2 seat of learning, within which the American youth may drink at the | fountain of learning and the common school | system has become the defense and the pride | of the republic. 1If the reputation of Callfornia, in times of peace, has become world-wide for the grandeur | of her mountains, the beauty of her valleys, | the wealth of her material resources and the high standard of her educational institutions; in times of war she has not been found want- ing in fidelity to the Union and to the prin- ciples of free government. The very first company of troops to land upon the soll of Cuba, in defense of an oppressed people, was a company of United States regu- lars that marched away from the Presidio at San Francisco. And when the call for volun- teers came from the President, full in the vanguard of those who answered “‘ready’’ was our own First California. It led the long list of gallant regiments that went salling out through the Golden Gate to win in the far distant islands of the Pacific a new glory for the achievements of American skill and dar- ing, and with swelling hearts we have lately landed the pathway of the returning sol- er who, responsive to his country's call, went | on” the | goor sion day. A day of pleasure had been planned, and the Ploneers and thelr in- vited guests enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent. An excursion on the bay | and a picnic at El Campo comprised the programme. There were no orations, no poems and no set exerc Every one | was at liberty to enjoy himself or herself as fancy directed. The steamer Ukiah was chartered for the occasion. It left Tiburon ferry at 10 o'clock in the morning with a party num- bering close on to 3000. It went down the bay as far as the Union Iron Works, and return trip toward the picnic grounds cruised among the shipping and went as close to the Iowa and Marblehead as Sosslhle to give the excursionists a | view of the floating fighting ma- chines. ; _As soon as the steamer reached EI Campo the Pioneers and their friends set about without delay to dispose of the con- tents of well-filled lunch baskets before they gave time to the other pleasures of the day. Judge Niles Searles entertained the offi- cers of the Ploneers and a few intimate friends at _a banquet served on ¢ the grounds. There were a few speeches of congratulation, but most of the talk was in the nature of reminiscences of the days of forty-nine. Amoxfi the Judges' guests were Rev. S. H.
