Regrets—Orators Differ as to
Hanna's Work For His Party
The eighty-ninth anniversary of the
birth of Abraham Lincoln was celebrat
ed last night by making it the occasion
for the second annual banquet of the
Young Men's Republican league of this
city, at Music hall. Preparations hail
been made for the event weeks in ad
vance, and the banquet was on a scale
which eclipsed all former efforts of 'the
organization. Of course the afTair was
very much Republican, but in point of
attendance and enthusiasm it was as
»uccessful as the promoters of it could
leave hoped for.
Covers were laid for 423 members and
guests, and every seat was occupied. A
more good-natured crowd could not be
imagined. There was none of that some
times stiff formality about the occasion
which makes such functions at times
wearisome. Those who were not mem
bers of the league were made as wel
come, officers and members vicing with
each other in their efforts to add to the
enjoyment of all. Across the room, near
the stage, was a long table, at which
seats had been reserved for the orators
of the evening. The other tables, nine
ln number, were placed at right angles
to this table and extended to within a
few feet of the front wall of the build
ing. Had all of the tables been placed
end to end they would have made a line
several blocks long.
The menu w as in keeping with the oc
casion. There was an abundance of
good things solid and as great an abund
ance liquid. Draperies of the national
emblem, pictures of Washington, Lin
coln and other presidents, palms and cut
flowers, composed the decorations, the
whole making a pretty picture. Before
the doors were opened the members of
the league and their friends assembled
in the upper hall. A column was formed
and by twos they marched to the ban
quet hall. It did not take long to dispose
of the eatables, for the banqueters were
anxious for the feast of oratory which
was to follow.
A. W. Kinney, president of the Cali
fornia State league, in a brief speech
introduced as toastmaster Luther C.
Brown, president of the Young Men's
Republican league. Mr. Brown spoke at
considerable length upon the purposes
and intentions of the organization. Ha
asserted that the league was not formal
In the interest of any candidate or class
of candidates except that of the Repub
lican class. All that the club demanded
of the party was the nomination of the
best men for office. If that was done he
pledged the support of the club to all
nominees of the party. At the conclu
sion of his speech Mr. Brown read a let
ter from President McKinley to th'?
league. An invitation to attend th?
banquet had been sent to the president,
and the letter from him, or, rather, from
J. A. Porter, his private secretary, was
simply the usual formal expression of
regret at not being able to attend. Of
course the letter was received with ap
plause.
Hon. Thomas Fitch was the next
speaker and Abraham Lincoln was his.
subject. Great as were the opportuni
ties for flights of oratory in speaking
on such a theme, Mr. Fitch seemed to
include them all, for he delivered one of
the best speeches of his life. It was only
to a slight degree a political address,
but instead was a eulogy of the great
emancipator, the sentiments of which
could and would be approved and ap
plauded by any lover of American insti
tutions of whatever party. He began
his speech with a statement of the con
ditions which prevailed in this country
before and up to the time of Lincoln's
first appearance in public affairs, and
then, with only a few references to par
ty victories, followed the course of his
career up to tho time of the tragedy in
Ford's theater.
The speaker has always been out
spoken of his disapproval of the Hanna
methods in Ohio, and in comparing the
times when Lincoln lived with the pres
ent he said: "Those were times when
it was not the fashion to sell senatorial
togas to metallic accidents, and when
seats in the United States senate were
not considered as marks of distinction,
but rather as opportunities to achieve
distinction." Later in his speech he
again referred to the Ohio senatorial
election by comparing the words of Oar
field to the crowd in New York the day
after Lincoln's assassination with the
telegram sent by Hanna to McKinley
on the former's election to the senate.
Garfield, it w ill be remembered, had qui
eted the mob by saying: "God reigns,
and the government of America still
exists." Hanna sent McKinley a tele
gram saying: "(b>d reigns, and the Re
publican party still exists." "Yes," said
the speaker, "the Republican party lives,
but not because of the senatorial elec
tion in Ohio, but rather despite it." He
closed with a brilliant flight of oratory,
and his speech was greeted with ap
plause which last'-d several minutes.
Col. George Stone of San Francisco,
the executive member nf the national
Rebubliean league, was then introduced.
He spoke briefly of the work of the league
in other parts of the state, and pointed
out the necessity for better organiza
tion.
Senator R. N. Bulla's appearance was
the signal for applause which continued
nearly five minutes. Mr. Bulla is one
of the most popular members of the
party in this part of the state, and the
greeting he received showed that h>- had
lost none of his popularity. His sub
ject was "California: A Republican
State." He began by saying that his
subject was a declaration, and his speech
was an able effort to prove the truth of
that declaration. He quoted largely
from statistics, giving the comparative
results of all the elctions held in this
state since the time of Lincoln, and then,
in an eloquent manner, gave what he
considered good reasons for believing
that the state Is now safely Republican.
He pointed out the necessity for har
mony ln the party and for the eradica
tion of everything that savored of boss
ism, and closed with an appeal for thor
ough organization.
"Our Republican Heroes" was the sub
ject assigned to Hon. Frank F. Davis,
and he handled it in such a manner as
to divide honors with Mr. Fitch. As
might have been expected, he eulogized
the Republican leaders from the organ
ization of the party. In regard to Lin
coln he drew a parallel between him
and the Christ, saying that both had
died for the good of humanity. After
mentioning nearly all of the leaders of
the party past and present, he took an
entirely different view of the Hanna
matter to that taken by Mr. Fitch. "If
you are to win in future contests." said
he, "you will require the genius of a
Hanna to aid you. Had it not been for
Hanna. McKinley would now bo occu
pying his humble home in Ohio, and W.
J. Bryatl would be president." While not
a seeker after office in this or any other
state. Mr. Davis announced his willing
ness to support to the extent of his abili
ty the regular nominees of the Repub
lican party, whether their names were
Jones, Hanna or .McKinley.
Col. H. G. Otis was on the program for
a speech on the subject. "The Republican
Press nnd the Rattle of '96." The toast
master announci d that, owing to illness,
Col. Otis could not be present. He had
sent a letter of regret, which would bo
read later.
Hon. H. C. Gooding delivered one of the
most forcible addresses of the evening
on the subject. "The Administration—lts
Pledges Redeemed." He pointed to the
improved business conditions that have
prevailed since the present administra
tion has been ln office, and attributed
the improvement to the fact that the
Republican party Is in power. He as
sured his hearers that the great mass
of the American public had confidence
in the party, and predicted victory after
victory for it.
Hon. li. J. Waters spoke in a most hap
py manner upon "Los Angeles—She Has
Contributed Much to the State." In
stead of taking the old. threadbare story
of the Improvements that have been
made in the city and the resultant bene
fits to the state, he spoke in a witty man
ner of what those present had contribut
ed to the improvement of the city. He
kept the crowd in an uproar of laughter
and was frequently interrupted by ap
plause.
Ex-Governor John L. Beveridge of Illi
nois delivered, perhaps, the best short
speech of the evening on the purely po
litical subject, "The Republican Party,
the Party of Patriotism." He attempted
by logic to show that about all the good
that has existed In the country could
be tracpd to the Republican party, and
that, on the other hand, the Democrats
had done little or nothing. Governor
Beveridge is a forcible speaker, and his
speech kept the crowd cheering from
beginning to end, and when he closed
three cheers were given him in a manner
that showed that his address had caught
the crowd.
That concluded the regular program.
Letters of regret were received from ,
SenatorG. C. Perkins. Congressman S. G.
Hilborn. President L. J. Crawford and
Secretary W. J. Dow ling of the National .
Republican league. Senator C. K. Davis,
chairman of the committee on foreign
relations; Congressman Dingley, the .
presidents of the several district leagues
of this state. I. S. Grant, Jr., of San Di
ego, and others.
WEEKLY PROMENADE CONCERTS
\>
Successfully Inaugurated at the Hall
of Industry Last Night j \
The Hall of Industry was thronged 1
with people from 7 to 10 oclock last night
for the opening promenade concert. All
the displays were In fine condition; th ■
potted plants and fountain, added to th™ >
myriad incandescent lights, made the 1
home products exhibition a most at- I
tractive place, and Lowlnsky's orches- j
tra was the crowning feature of the i
evening.
Several selections from that fascinat-
nig opera. "The Serenade," were at once
recognized and enthusiastic applause ]
was given to the spirited rendition.! ,
Other especially attractive musical f
numbers were the "Bride Elect" march,
"Jolly Fellows" waltz, the Intermezzo \
from "Cavalleria," and a jolly medley .
which Mr. Lowlnsky has christened .
"Echoes from the Orpheum."
Between the orchestral numbers, Bon- /
tros Helwi, the Assyrian, whose skillful
inlaid and mosaic work is a drawing
card at all times, gave a curiously inter- ,
esting sword dance in the native garb,
in which he was graceful, lithe and thor- •
oughly Oriental in all respects. The i
promenade concerts, of which last
night's was the first, will be given each
Saturday evening, and promise to con
tinue to be very popular.
