Tiepublicans Waging an Aggressive Cam- paign Throughout the County. MENDOCINO, Car., Sept. 23.—Mendo- cino County has during the past few weeks placed itself on record as being strougly in favor of William McKinley and protection—protection to American industries and protection to American labor. The Hon. J. W. Johnston, late of Nel ka, and Hon. George A. Sturtevant of Ukiah have been making a campaign tour of this county, speaking in every town and cross roads. They have met with the most flattering reception in all the towns along their route. Men, women and children are showing the greatest interest in the great questions that are being discussed. Mr. Sturtevant speaks on finance and Mr. Jobnston on protection and other is- sues. Both are forcible and logical speak- ers, who understand their subjects per- fectly and present strong arguments, backed by Government statistics. Re- cently they spoke in this place to the largest and most enthusiastic audience ever gathered here. ‘leams from adjoin- ing towns began to arrive pefore 7 o’clock, coming as far as fifteen miles, loaded with voters. Cheer upon cheer was given for McKinley, Hobart and protection as they drove into and through the town. At 7:30 o'clock the streets were lined with people following the largest torch- light procession ever formed in Mendocino County, headed by the Mendocino Brass Bard and McKinley ciubs marching and countermarching through the streets to the Odd Fellows’ new hall, one of tha largest outside of San Francisco. Many of the houses along the line of march were beautifully illuminated. Thne platform was occupied by many of the leading citizens of the county. Dr. J. W. Milliken, acting as chairman, intro- duced the speakers in a very plain and concise statementof the position of the Republican party, ciaiming that the pres- ent campaign and election was the most important since 1860. when the loyal Dem- ocrats joined the Republican party to saye the Union. Mendocino County will give the largest Republican vote ever polled in the connty, as the voters realize the fact that all of our industries need protection. SANTA ROSA RALLY.

On introducing the speaker Chairman E. F. Fiosd made eloquent reference to Mr. Johnson's un paralleled record during his maiden term in Congress, which elicited enthusiastic applause from the audience. Johnson's argument lasted two hours and was a masterly presentation of the principles of protection as the only measure of relief for the country and the only one by which the Government, if at all, could maintain free coinsge of silver. The speaker ex- plained his position on the raiiroad fund- ing bill and why the measure before the last Congress embodied the only true busi- ness method for securing payment of the debt due the Government, Mr. Johnson’s reference to his course as regards the mineral iand 'pill was greeted with hearty applause. It was followed by an eloguent appeal to the voters to disre- gnrdofll theories and guesswork doctrines, and stand by the long tried and sound principle of protection to American indus- tries. The strong stand taken by the speaker in thequestion of checking foreign 1mmigration as a necessary adjunct to the doctrine of protection to American labor was cheered to the echo, and was one of the many teiling points scored 1n hisargu. ment, ST S ZLos Angeles Campuaign Committees, LOS ANGELES, Caw, Sept. 23.—The Republican County Central Commistee and the anxiliary committee met thisfore- noon in executive session in the Westmin- ster Hotel and appointed committees as follows: Law committee—Henry T.

All but two of the vessels will return to Mare Island, the exceptions being the Bennington and the Monadnock, which are scheduled to spend a couple of weeks here before leaving the Sound. The mobilization has begn beneticial in thor- oughly drilling the men, but disastrous as regards dasertions, twenty men having recently left the Philadelphia in a body.

Castle of Merced for | MAY NOT BE THE NAPA MURDERER William Moore’s Story Is Discredited at Los Angeles. ACTS AS THOUGH CRAZY His Confession May B: Only the Fiction of a Diseased Brain. CAPTAIN GREENWOOD DOUBTS Inclined to Disbelieve That the S'ayer of His Wife Has Been Captured. Los AxGeLEs Orrice oF THE CALL, 328 South Broadway, Los ANGELES, Skeriff Burr left here this afternoon for | Napa, baving in charge William Moore, alias Crum, alias Daley, the self-confessed murderer of Mrs. Greenwood, in Napa, on February 9, 1891. Moore, or Crum, is a queer specimen of humanity, as’ far as appearance goes. He looks the veritable hobo and has the stare of a maniac. His “voluntary confession” is likely to turn out & hoax after all. Protracted drinking has about done its fatal work with Moore. To a CaLn correspondent the prisoner talked in anything but a rational manner to-day. He would first demy and then confirm former statements attributed to him in such rapid succession that nothing | could be made of his answers. He de- ciared over and over again that he killed Mrs. Greenwood, and that Schmidt had nothing to do with it. He insists that the | newspapers have lied about him out- rageously, and during the conversation came very nearly telling Sheriff Burr that he had mixed things up in his talk to the press. It may turn out that Moore is a harm- less idiot, crazed by the use of too much bad liquor. M GREENWOOD 1S SKEPTICAL. ~ Doubts That the Murderer of Fils Wife Is in Prisen. VALLEJO, Car., Sept. 23.—Captain Jobn Greenwood was to-day shown the statement of William Moore, who says he killed the captain’s wife, Mrs. Greenwoed, on the night of February 9, 1891. Captain Greenwood doubts the statement. He is quite certain of being able to identify tne person if he has an ovvortunity of seeing him. Itis his sincere kope that if Moore is the man that he claims to be he will be tried and properly dealt with according to law. Captain Geeenwood returned to. his ranch this evening. As soon as the self- confessed murderer is brought to Napa he will go there to identify him. The features of the man are indelibly imprinted upon his mind, and he thinks there will be no likelihood of failure in identifying the man who committed the crime if he has | really been captured. | Tulare County’s Wealth.

Those who did not go to the races went to the pavilion, hoping to secure a good look at the exhibits before the throng began to surge in in the evening.

There is a clash of authority between the nanagement of the institate and Gus- ‘ tav Hiorich, the leader of the orchestra, | 1t is believed to have been started on what | was called Irish night. | The leader was requested to play a num- | ber of Irish melodies, but 1s said to have | ignored the request and selected instead a | few Irish pieces that have long outlived | any interest. Then came German or | ‘Wagner night and but one of the gren’ cemposer’'s productions was rendered, much to the annoyance of the manage- ment and the disgust of the attendance, which was largely German. The last straw was placed on French night, Leader Hinrichs was asked to render a waltz specially composed by Mlle. Helene Thirion and dedicated to the | Native Bons and Daughters of French par- entage. It was entitled “En Flirtant.’” Leader Hinrichs refused to play it. Doolan flew into a rage and expressed his opinion of the aituation in very forecible language, and the male members of the French colony took Leader Hiurichs’ action as an affront. 1t is said that several | of the lady composer’s admirers will call Leader Hinrichs to a personal account. How tbe trouble will end in this direction remains to be seen. A meeting of the board of directors was beld which quickly turned into an indig- nation meeung. "All the directors ex- Yresud the opinion that where they pay or the music they should have what they want. Directors Doolan, Healey and Leg- gett roundly denounced Leader Hinrichs’ | selections as beiug too classical, and Mr. | Hinrichs personally for failing to obey orders. The fight is not yet over and liveiy de- velopments may yet result from the clash.
