The as- semblage was most representative, Men walks of life gathered to testify egiance to the party.

The Republican Alllance, Oakland's crack campaign corps, lent its forces to swell the enthusiasm.

All this the Democratic party has op- posed and opposes yet. Misguided citizens of this nation have passed word to American islands that the enforcement of American law and order is oppression, but the inhabitants of these fslands will soon learn that the rightful authority of American civilization and govern- ment is not the sword of a new oppressor come to strike down, but the sacred blade of free- dom come to Ifberate and lift up. The American people are worthy of thelr 1ib- erties and equal to their destiny. They know what agency to employ, what party stands for the nation's progress and territorial integrity, what administration secures prosperity, what men to trust to carry out those principles and purposes. Our will with theirs will be regis- tered aright in November, 1900. Colonel Stone for Organization. Colonel George Stone, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, fol- |lowed with & speech urging the organiza- tion of Republican clubs throughout the State. He sald: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: T aid not come here fo-night to make a speech, nor shall I try to do so, but it is a privileze for | me to take part in this grand meeting of en- thusiastic Republicans who have assembled to ratify and confirm by their voice and presence the cholce of our delegates in convention for | the exalteq positions of President and Vice President of this great repubiic, and that such | | a gathering is the work of Republican clubs is most gratifying | t me to say a few words upon the ubs. For the past years 1 have ntified with club work throughout the and reaiize the benefits resulting to through these organizations. The s now recognized as one of the most ef- of political educatcrs, and It is our hope Republican in California may soon d as a.member of such a . We | ask you of the Alliance, of the Young Men's the Pondinky and other clubs here to- t your neighbor or acqualnt- whose leaning Is toward the Republican becomes a member of your club; make | lal efforts to secure the young man who | will cast his first vote this ¥ also those | who will soon become first v The indi- | Vidual can do no betigr service to his varty than to secure one moré intelligent voter; and 1 take this opportunity on behalf of the State Committee and the Republican party of Cali- nia_to extend our cordial greetings to the blican clubs and to assure them of our |7 peration in the coming wark. for a few reasons why club orzaniza- such an ald to the party. It is an un- srtunate truth that many Republicans are in- flerent to the obligation imposed by the po- litical franchise. If a man becomes a member of a club he wiil almost surely go to the polls B on election day. If he is a member of your club he is not so likely to forget or neglect to register. No man in this State can vote at the coming election unless he registers before the 20th day of September. What an oppor- tunity for the club to prove its value to the party. There are many other ways of doing good; and there are the soclal features. It is my candld opinion that if every Republican in California_would join a club and maintain his membership, the party would never again meet with defeat in this State, We are to be congratulated that the party is united and determined for success in this cam- paign, and the man calling himself a Republi- can ‘who will inject factional prejudices o political persovalities into the contest is un- worthy the name. Mr. Chairman, we do well to favor with our support and enthustasm the Republican party and its principles. No recollection in my lite affords me greater satisfaction than that it was my privilege to cast my first vote for the immortal Lincoln, and that experience will be repeated next November when I vote again for another great American—Willlam McKin- ley. i Chairman Davis read the following tele- grams: G. R. Lukens, Oakland, Cal.: I greet the alllance on this auspicious occasion. McKinley and Roosevelt means continued prosperity and progress. 1 propose three cheers for the ticket. GEORGE C. PARDEE. SAN FRANCISCO, June 23. Greetings to the Republicans _of = Alameda County. With McKinley and Roosevelt as standard bearers our success next November is assured JULIUS KAHN. Hon. Willlam R. Davis, Chairman Republi- can Ratification Meeting: 1 heartily jotn in ratification of McKinley and Roosevelt. Ala- meda County will give them over 4000 major- ity sure. A."H. BREED, Chairman Alameda County Republican Central ‘ommittae. The reading elicited cheers of approval. Alden Anderson, thé next speaker, said: The Republican party is in a buoyant mood In our refoicing to-night there je mo wavering of mind. The party has cleared a broad path for national !mprovement during its forly-four years of life, with honor to our country and fo our flag. Emancipation of slavery was the Work of our firat President, Abraham Lincoin. Emancipation from idleness was the beneficent task allotted to the exaited lendership of Wil- liam MeKinley. Senator Perkins Gets an Ovation. TUpited States Senator Geo. C. Perkins received an ovation as he was presented | to the audience. His speech was a strong and persuasive argnment for McKinley and the principles of the Republican party. He said: We ell have a_common obfect In view, whether we be Democrats, Republicans of Populists. We want good government. I 4o mot say that all Republicans ara hon- est, but it they ‘are mot, they have at = T AVID Hoe3en- PrHoTo AT THE BIG REPUBLICAN RATIFICATION MEETING, least the courage to punish dishonesty when- ever it shall be discovered. The Republican party has inspired the confidence of the na- tion, because as a party it has kept its prom- ises to the people. The Democrats are rallied around a party of negation. When all was dark with distress and depression four years ago the Republican party came in and gave | st to the people a declaration of principles. Where there was want of confidence everywhere and starvation in the land, to-day man or woman in this broad Jand who can- not find employment at reasonable wages If they are willing to work. Everywhere is confidence, and confidence means enterprise. Prior to the election of President McKinley the balance sheet In favor of the United States as against the world, for the 100 years of our life as a nation, was $311.- 000,000, “In only three years we have raised that credit balance In our favor to $1.10,00 We have done this and have carried on a zreat war—but not a war that was sought by our President. It was a war of humanity and re sulted in the grandest victories of the century on land and sea. The result was the acqu tion of a territory across the ocean. The P ippine Islands are to-day as much a part of the United States as California ltself, and honor of the nation was pledged to maintain law and order there. Had we not pledged our- selves to do that our Democratic friends who are ‘throwing missiles would have been the first to say impeach the President. If any- thing has gone wrong In the Phillppines it 1s the fault of Congress, not of the President. 1 say from personal observation of many months that not since the days of Lincoln have we had such a clean, upright. pure and patriotic President as Willlam McKinley . During our administration we have paid off more than $40,000.000 of the debt left by the | previous Democratic administration, besides already refunding 3298,000,600 of the natlonal debt on a 2 per cent basis, saving thus $15,000,- 0 a year in Interest. And this bubonic plague party over in San Francisco would place California in qu If it had not been -for Preeident McKinley that would have been done. As soon as he learned through Colonel Stone and other distinguished citizens that no such plague ever existed he said, ‘“‘Remove that quarantine,”” and he did remove the embargo that was placed on cur falr State just as he removed the blight of stagnation after he took the oath of his high office. 1 don't believe in quarantine, but if evem a man or a party should be pi it is that man or party which cannot realige the beneficent results derfved fyom our wise Republican administration. McKinlay Draws a Parallel. After songs by the Elks' Quartet, can E. McKinlay was introduced as one who had risen from the ranks of the | toilers. Mr. McKinlay drew a lesson from a parallel of two seamen, one gold-laced and haughty, who steered his vessel in smooth waters near ihe shore, the other | who salled for the open sea. When the storm came the first was lost, the other fought and conquered the tempest in tri- umph.

FEDERATION OF MISSION CLUBS ELECT OFFICERS Extension of the Pound Limits to the County Line to Be Pressed With Renewed Vigor. There was a large attendance of dele- gates present at the meeting of the Fed- eration of Mission Imrrovement Clubs at Holly Park Club rooms last night. The intgntion of holding an election of offi- cers for the ensuing six months being an incentive for delegates to show up, as the presidency of this organization is looked to as being of sufficient importance to draw forth a close vote. Prior to going into the election, how- er, remarks were made by Delegate Dr. E. ation urging on the Bupervisors the ad- visability of passing an ordinance extend- ing the pound limits to the county line, Facts and figures were produced to show the havoc wrought by vagrant cattle roaming at large over the property of set- tlers irrespective of damage to buildings d fences, not to mention danger to the 7 of children and women. Believing to be a nulsance the committee ap- v thi | pointed at a previous meeting to attend to fhe matter was urged to be present at the meeting of the Supervisors to-mor- row and do the bracing act with such of the members as were prolific in prom- ises before their election to carry out the wishes of the residents and property own- ers covering the wide area that it is wished to bring within the limits, After three ballots had been taken in | which there were ties for the office of B A. 8.

Sumner took the first set easily, and then Sam took a | brace and won the second. The third was close and Sam finally managed to win out in vantage game, 8—§. Neither of the Hardys played in thelr best form owing to | the high winds which prevailed during the afternoon. George Whitney defeated W. Collier, 61, 6—4. While Collier played a good, heady game, the champion was a bit too cleyer for him. Al Rosenberg defeated Bishop Moreland, | 61, 68, 8—6. Grant Smith moved a point in the rank- | ing by cleverly defeating Dr. Root, giving | the talent a surprise. Smith was invinci- | ble at the net and won by well piaced vol- | leys, 63, 63, 6—S. | “Robert Whitney played Alex Stewart of | Oakland, and although Stewart won the | first set easlly Whitney secured the match, 4—8, 6—1, 6—3. Both players scored many | points by their hard drives. | Paul Jones and Mr. O’'Brien of Berkeley | had a long drawn out struggle, which re- | sulted in a tle, 2—6, 4—6, 6—2, 6—4, 9—7, |3-6. 3. A. Code defeated Alex Stewart, | 64, 75, 26 Walter McGavin, a base line player, and Crowell, who plays the net game, had a | hot argument. McGavin won the first set, | | 6—4, by good passing, Crowell took the sec- ond, ., in a close match and also the | third, 6—3. | _Reuben Hunt of Alameda visited San | Rafael on Friday and played four sets | with W.

M. McCOOK. [ e o e e e e o ENERAL EDWARD M. McCOOK, a member of the famous “fighting McCook” family, who is now a G guest of Charles H. Blinn at 1685 Post street, is of the opinion that as soon as the coming election is over and Presi- dent McKinley is settled for another term of four years the administration will take up the crown land claims of Liliuokalani, the ex-Queen of Hawaii, and settle with her for a handsome sum. As General Mc- Cook is known to be a warm personal friend of Senator Mark Hanna and close to the administration, the friends of the deposed Queen are much comforted by the assurances he has given. The interest taken by Geperal McCook in the affairs of Hawaii's ex-Queen are due to the fact that he was thé first Min- Ister accredited by the Government of the United States to the Hawaiian court. in 1866, and during his term negotiated the first treaty of commercial reciprocity. During his residence in Honolulu his firf attitude toward the threatened British en- croachment on Hawaii undoubtedly saved this Government from some very un- g‘leuant diplomatic complications with ngland. General McCook entered the Federal army in 1860 as a private In the Kansas Legion, and after a brilllant career of five years, rose to the rank of brigadier general, He was twice appointed hy Pres- ident Grant as Governor of the then Ter- ritory of Colorado and there orfnn!ud a school system and an immigration board that was instrumental in development. Through his Kerloml efforts the first rafl- road was built into Denver. He was the first advocate of woman suffrage. After his second term as Governor of Colorado General McCook declined the portfollo of Postmaster General, tendered to him by President Grant. Retail Clerks Organize.
