Speeches Delivered by Senator Perkins and W. R. Davis of Oakland. EUREEA VOTERS LISTEN TO A DEBATE, W. W. Foote and Editor Thompson the Principals—Rallies and Conventions. SAN JOSE, Car., Sept. 26.—The Repub- licans of Santa Clara County held another big demonstration in this city this even- ing. General W. H.L. Barnes spoke to an immense crowd, which completely filled the Auditorium, and his eloguent speech was frequently interrupted by ap- plause, Every mention of the name of the Republican standard-bearer, William McKinley, was wildly cheered. The meet- ing was presided over by Hon. H. V. Morehouse, candidate for State Senator. After a campaign song and an encore by the Republican Glee Club, the sp-aker of the evening was introduced by President Morehouse, who referred to General Barnesas 8 man who had rallied to the support of the Union in 1860, and was again in the ranksin '96. The speech of General Barnes was in part as follows: “My attention has been called to an ar- ticle in the Herala of this city, saying that I am advocating something I do not be- lieve in. The editor quoted a letter I had written to the Sacramento Bee in re- sponse to an inquiry as to what I thought the National yparties would do. I an- swered that I did not believe either of the great partics woul! satisfy the advccates of silver. I said that I believed there would be a third man named upon a sil- ver platform. The Herald says I am a false propbet and 1 deny it. The Democratic party, where is it? Was it that collection of wild animals that met at Chicszo? Are Altgeid, Tillman and Bland the Democratic par Do they represent what has always been Called the conservative party ? No. The Brysan aggregation isa combination of Populistic demology sud Democratie idiocy. By the time we gel through thiscampalgn, like & pair of mules tied tail 10 tail they will kick each other to death, The speaker then turned his attention to the speech of Senator White in this city 1W0 weeks ago. My distinguished friend told you that the only issue presented by the Democrats was the silver issue. What does he think of the plan siiver Democrats and Populists to recon- he highest court in the land whenever s 1o pander to thelr propositions and s? What does Stephen M.

Specches Made by Senator Perkins and Ex-Mayor Davis, SANTA ROSA, CaL., Sept. 26.—Repub. licans from far and near attended the great rally in thiscity to-night, and seldom has such enthusiasm been seen. Crowds of people thronged the principal streets and huge bonfires of pine logs blazed on all sides. The roar of cannon and anvils sounded like minute guns. The Santa Rosa band played patriotic selections on the streets before the meeting commenced. The scene in the Athensum, where the speaking took place, was an animated one. Itisestimated that over 1600 people were present. The large stage was gayiy decorated with flowers and flags, “Ol¢ Glory” being predominant everywhere. Strotched across the frontof the audito- rium was an immense banner, with the m’.‘rrld “Pi'lolecuon" on i'.‘.1 he rally was under the auspices of the McKinley Club. Major O. I-Ponnum, an old-time Republican, called the meefing 1o order and invited a number of promi- nent gentlemen to act as vice-presidents of the meeting. Then the band struck up “Three Cheers for the Rea, White and Biue,”” which seemed to arouse ev: loyal sentiment in the breasts of those present, for they cheered and eheered again. ther another selection—this time the “‘Star-spangled Banner”—Major Fountain introduced Hon. E. W. Davis as chairman of the meeting. Mr. Davis welcomed those present and made a short speech, and then called on Senator George C. Per- kins to address the meeting. r Perkins met with an overwhelm- ing reception and bad to wait some time for the applause to subside. He spoke in an easy, winning manner, and his bold remarks fell on willing ears. He said he was giad to see the large num- ber of ladies present. Benublican party had said that it would give the iadies more rights, and the Republican party would see that they gotthem. [Ap- plause.] i He felt sure that if the ladies would study the records of the other Dll’l{’l ad- ministration they would all be Repub- licans. Amid general applanse he showed how the country had prospered under the Harrison administration; how the farm- ers' crops brought good prices and there was work for every man at good wages, and a large amount of the National debt had been paid off in those prosperous years, The Senator then contrasted the Harri- son administration and that of Cleveland. Speaking of the tariff question, he said they were going to talk about a tariff that would raise enough money to pay the costs of the maintenance of the Govern- ment, and that the Republican party be- lieved in raising money by imposing tariff for the protection of our American indus- try and lsbor. ‘After scoring the Gorman-Wilson bill and touching on the silver ouestion, Mr. Perkins concluded his spee h with an elo- quent tribute to William McKinley. After the applause which followed Sen- ator Perkins’ address had ceased, ex- Mayor W. R. Davis of Oakland was intro- duced and made a splendid speech. After speaking of the ‘‘newly invented candidate,” W. J. Bryan, and criticizing his actions in congress Mr. Davis in a concise manner, dealt with the silver question, his eloquent handling of the subject calling forth frequent outbursts of applause. —_—— THOMPSOA "OOTE. Foters of Eureke Listen o a Debate on Finance, EUREKA, CaL., Sept. 26.—The debate to-night between W. W. Foote of San Francisco and J. F. Thompson, editor of the Daily Etandard, on the linancial ques- tion, brought outone of the largest crowds ever in attendance here at a political meeting. BEach side was bound that the bulk of the applause should go to its re- spective champion, and such a din re- sulted that it was impossible at times to hear the arguments. The question of debate was: ‘‘Resolved, that the principle set forth in the finan- cial plank.of the Democratic platform as adopted at Chicago in July, i896, would not be conducive to the best interests of the country at large.” Thompson took the affirmative and Foote the negative. The debate was broughtabout by remarks made by Thomp- sen at a recent meeting of the McKinley Clup, in which ne defined his position on the money issue. Foote was in town and dropped into the meeting, carefully noting what Thompssn had said. The nexteven- ing Foote spoke in the silver cause, and devoted a good partof his time in attempt- ing to refute what the yoid advocate had said. The results were unsatisfactory to both sides, so a public discussion was agreed upon. Thompson opened his address by con- trasting the financial plank in the Demo- cratic platform of 1842 with that ot 1896, As Foote was a delegate to both conven- tions and had a hand in forming both platforms, he accused the silver champion of inconsistency. Foo.e did not seem in the best of humor, for he “sailed into” his antagonist with vehemence. He hurled back Thomp- son's charge of inconsistency and asked the defender of the gold cause to recon- cile nis position when as a Democrat he had attacked the principles he was now espousing. After many severe personal remarks the idol of the silverites con- tented himself with reading selections from the ariicles written by M. M. Estee, W. H. L. Barnes and Irving M. Scott before the meeting of the Republican con- vention and contrasting t.em with the statements made by the same gentlemen alter that convention had assembled. At the conclusion of Foote's remarks 150 silverites rose and left the hall. Thompson closed the discussion and de- voted bis time to refuting what his ad- versary had said. Both sides claim the palm of victory. IN THE 1HIKTY-NINTH. Republicans at Newport Beach Name T, J. Jones for Senator. SANTA ANA, Cavn, Sept. 26. — The Thirty-ninth Senatorial District Repub- lican Convention to-day nominated T. J. Jones of Garden Grove, Orange County, for State Senator after a stubborn strug- gle. Two other candidates were in the field—Richard Melirose of Anaheim and E. W. Freeman of South Riverside. The principal fight was between Melrose and Jones, and it required six ballots and two conferences to effect a choice. The convention was held at Newport Beach, this county, and consisted of thirty delegates—thirteen from San Bernardino County, nine from Riverside and eight from Orange. 8. W. Richardson of San Bernardino was selected temporary chairman and 8. M. Craddock secretary. For permanent organization E. P. Clark of Riverside was chosen chairman and S. M. Craddock secretary. The resolutions adonted indorse the National ticket; adhere to tle doctrines and policies enunciated by the St. Louis platform; invite all patriotie citizens to unite in support of protection to Ameri- can industries and in upbolding the Na- tional credit by the financial policy recog- nized throughout the greatest nations of the world; indorse Hon. George C. Per- kins and pledge the nominee to vote for his re-election to the United States Senate; indorse Hon. W. W. Bowers for Congress, also the Nicaragua canal project and woman suffrage. T. J. Jones, the nominee for Senator, is a farmer and one of the best-informed men in Southern California. He is an o:d-line Republican, and particularly strong on the tariff. Being a beet-sugar raiser himself, i is expected he will have great influence with others engaged in thatindustry. His nomination 1s received with much satisfaction among the Repub- licans of Orange Count. e THERESHEK NAMED AT STOCOKTON. Unanimously Nominnted for State Sena- tor by San Joaquin Kepublicans. STOCKTON, CAL., Sept. 26.—The Re- publican County Convention, for the nomination of a State Senator, Assembly- men, Judges and Supervisors, was held to-day in Masonic Hall. The chief inter- est centered in the fight for the Superior judgeship, as an effort was made to defeat Judge Ansel Smith, who is on the bench at present. His opponents were E. 1. Jones, the Assemblyman from this dis- trict, and Frank H. Smith, the present City Attorney. The American Protective Association took an sctive hand in thus fight in the in- terest of Frank H. Smith, and its efforts were successful, Smith and Jones securing the nominations. There was but one nominee for the oftice of State Senator—M. 8, Thresher, for years the leader of the Republicans in this city —and be received the unanimous vote of the convention. Captain R. 8. Johnson was theonly candidate for Assemblyman from the Twenty-fith District. In the Twenty-sixth District there was a contest between J.D. Huffman and Obarles W. Austin, the lasi-named winning. The platform adopted indorsed the Na- tional platform lnrla also indorsed Grove L. Johnson, urging his return to Congreas from this district. 1t recommended the re-election of George C. Perkins to the Uniten States Senate, but did not instruct nominees to vote for him. This was in the committee on resolutions and piat- form, but was defeated. A vigorous pro- test was_placed in the platiorm against foreign immigration, and the policy of protection to American labor and indus- tries was supported. The convention was one of the most harmonious in the history of the county. e Carlson at Bakersfield, BAKERSFIELD, Car., Sept. 26.—The people of Bakersfield turned out in fuil force to-night to hear Mayor CQarlson of 8an Diego, the independent candidate for Congress. He spoke enthusiastically in favor of protection to fruit-growers and more money for workingmen by means of ublic work. The audience became quite nterested in Carlson’s financial plank, which proposes that $500,000,000 be paid by the Government to American working- men for the erection of a Government building in every county seat of the Na- tion where the Government is now paying rent. ——— REPUBLICAMNS OF UTAH. They Failto Indorse MoKinley and Nomi- nate a Silver Man jor Congress. OGDEN, Urawm, Sept..26.—The straight McKinley wing of the Utah Republicans met in the Grand Opera-house at Ogden at 11 o'clock to-day. The result was to- tally a surprise to the McKinley people, as the silver forces had a majority of the delegates and refused to indorse McKinley and nominated a free-silver man, Hol- brook, for Congress. This wing has the State machine in its control and is led by Senator Brown and National Committee- man Rogers, who took Senator Cannon’s seat at the Republican convention at Bt. Louis when Cannon boited. At 12 o'clock the convention adjourned until 2 p. M., in order thata row which started in the Salt Lake delegation might be smoothea over. At 2:30 the conyen- tion was called to order, and permanent organization reported with Senator Brown as chairman. Charles Crane, 8 prominent sheep man was chairman of the commit- tee on resolutions, and a majority and minority report were presented. umer- ous amendments and substitutes were offered, and the fight tinally narrowea down to the question whether or not to in- dorse McKinley. The vote was the first test of relative strength. lutions were laid on the table by a vote of 332 to 168, Nominations for Congressman were next in order, and the name of Lafayette Hoi- brook (the nominee of the silver wing at Salt Lake Thursday) was the first placed before the convention. A delegate asked if Holbrook would vote the Republican ticket, and was told by Chairman EBrown that discussions of how a man would vote were not in order. Jobn E. Booth of Provo was nominated by Charles Crane. Then Booth got the floor and began speaking., was callea to order, and tne chairman asked him if he was making a nominating speech. He said he was, *‘for myself.” He sat down amid jeers from Bryan men. These were the only nominations and the vote was called for. The scene wus one of pandemonium, and there were numerous canes and fists displayea and the the delegates came near mixingina free-for-all fizht. Rogers led the McKinley contingent and was very aggressive, but t' e vote resulted in a final victory for the silver men by the nomination ot Holbrook. The vote was: Holbrook 240, Booth 232. The crowd im- mediately began to get out and the con- vention adjourned sine die, Lo DEMOCRATS +T SANTA CRUZ. Fusion With Populists on the County . Ticket Completed. SANTA CRUZ., CaL., Sept. 28.—The Democratic County Convention assembled here this morning. Ed White of Watson- ville, brother of United States Senator White, was elected chairman and A. J. Irving of Happy Valley secretary. The readin- of the report from the committee on platform created great enthusiasm. It demanded free and unlimited coinage | of silver without waiting for the consent or co-operation of any other nation on earth; pledged fealty to the principles enunciated by W. J. Bryan; indorsed the action of the State Central Committee on fusion with the People’s pariy and a joint electoral ticket; denounced the aileged corrupt tactics of Mark Hanna and the bankers and corporations behind bim; urged strenuous opposition to the funding bill; demanded foreclosure; de- nounced bosses and bossism as tyvified 1n the Republican party of to-day; urged more liberal appropriations for public ‘ea- ucation; advocated reduced county taxa- tion and a cut in county officials’ salaries. The following nomirations for Super- visor were made: Branciforte District, Wiltiam Baird ; Soquel, U. W. Thompson, and the following nominees ot the People’s party were indorsed: L. F. Smith for Su- perior Judge, Frank Smith for Assembiy- man_and Brad Morrill for Supervisor in San Lorenzo District. e e ey RIFVALS OF SANTA ANA, Senator White Talks and Is Answered by Major Kyle. SANTA ANA, Can, Sept. 26.—Hon. Stephen M. White addressed a larre out- door meeting here this afternoon. Forty members of the Ladies’ Bryan Silver Club marched in a body to the meeting. Plank seats to accommodate 1900 were provided, but they were more than filled at all times during the address, which was de- voted principaliy to the money question, | Major C. W. Kyle spoke at French's Opera-house, the largest hall in the city, to-night, for Republican prineiples and in answer (0 Senator White. Thelarge audi- torium was filled and 200 people seated on the stage. Mr. Kyle stated that the emi- nent Senator carefutly refrained from ex- plaining how free coinage was going to put idale people st work, and illustrated forci- bly the folly of attempting to disregard the commercial ratio of gold and silver by legal enactment. He said that White, in showing how Germany, France and Great Dritain had adopted the gold standard, had given the true reason for the fall in the price of sil- ver; it had gone out of demand and was consequently lowered in price. same forces which had caused it to fall would unite in an endeavor {o restore it it would be worse than folly for the United Bll\;ta: to attempt the gizantic task un- aide A TUOLUMNE REPUBLIOCANS, Nomination, Indorsements and Resolu- tions in County Convention. SONORA, CAvL., Sept. 26.—The Repub- lican County Convention met here to-day and renominated Thomas A. Hender for Sapervisor for District No. 1 and ratified the nomination of C. C.

That we renew ourobligations to the Repub- lican policy of protection to American indus. ], o 1abor, and bel eve that the ejection of William McKinley to the Presidency of the United States is the only political course at this time that will restore prosperity to this country and relieve the Government of its resent financial difficulties, brought about by efinoenuc inefficieacy and its free-trade olicy. s Thsat we -plmve of the acts of our Congress- man, Grove L.Johnson, and heartily indorse bis candidscy for re-election. —_—— MARCHING CLUBS IN KERN, Torchlight Parade Followed by an Open- Air Gathering. BAKERSFIELD, Caw., Sept. 26.—Hon. Wilfred M. Peck of Riverside delivered a rousing speech in Kern this eveningto a large open-air assembly. His convinecing and eloguent periods in behalf of protec- tion, prosperity and sound money were enthuslastically received by his hearers, He was wildly cheered from start to finish, The meeting was under the auspices of the McKinley Club of Kern, one of the E:ost wideawake Republican clubs in toe tate. The Bakersfletd McKinley Club, in re- sponse t0 an invitation from the Kern Club, marched over and helped to sweil the throng. About eighty members were in line, all carrying torches and headed by a drum corps. They were met at the limits of the city by about an equal number of The entire reso- | Uatil the | the Kern Club, bearing torches and headed by a drum corps. %hen they met the yells and shouts were deafening. Both .clubs then fell in and marched into town and aroand the speaker’s stand. —_—— MIXED POLITICS IN IDARO. Republicans Repay Treachery on the Part of Populists, BOISE, Ipamo, Sept. 27.—The recon- vened Republican State Convention met at Boise City to-aay. The object in re- calling the convention was to take some action regarding Populist candidates who were put on the Republican ticket with the understanding that there was a fusion between tle silver Republicans, the Popu- lists and the silver Democrats, but after the nominations were made the Populists commenced and masintained a bitter fight against the silver Republicans in every county 1n the State. The reconvened convention took off the ticket the names of James Gunn (Pop.) tor Cougress and George J. Lewis (Pop.) for Becretary of State. All Democrats, including Stounenberg, nominee of both Democrats and Populists for Governor, were left on the ticket, with the exception of J. A. Lippincott for Lieutenant-Gov- ernor, who had resigned. In place of those removed W. £. Borah (R.) was nomi- nated for Congress, Charles E. Durans (D.) for Secretary of State and E. B. True (D.) for Lieutenant-Governcr. The convention issued an address charg- ing the Populists, by their refusal to sup- port Dubois, with the responsibility of the changed conditions, Itis now thought by many that the Populists will name a com- Fleu new State ticket, with Bryan and Watson electors, which may result in the McKinley electors carrying the State. Leading Democrats, however, say the Populists will not put up a new ticket, as the Democrats have given them assur- ances that they did not intend to supoort Dubois as per instructions of the Demo- cratic National Committee, but would give their hearty support to the Populist caucus nominee for the United States Senate. — MONTEREY GHKEETS MoLACHLAN, Rousing Demonstration Participated in by Hundreds of Republicans. MONTEREY, Car., Sept. 26.—To-night's was the greatest Republican rally ever seen in this city, and one of the largest ever held in Monterey County. It was under the auspices of the McKinley and Hobart Clubs of Monterey and Pacific Grove. Farmers from Carmel Valley and other small towns down the coast arrived early to witness the torchlight procession and hear the speeeh by Congressman Jam-s McLachlan of Pasadena. Bagby’s Opera-house on Alvarado street ‘was packed to-night and scores of people had to return home, being unable to get into the large ball. The Monterey brass band played several selections to open the rally. The rostrum was decorated with evergreens and cut flowers, and the speak- ers’ stand was dtaped with can flag. When the princi tered the hall the cheerin. was deafening. The enthusiasm contioued all through the meeting and on the slightest cause for ap plause the Republicans that thronged the opera-house gave vent to their feelings until they were hoarse. The meeting was opened by the chair- man, Captain TLomas G. Lambert. After reviewini many issues uf the campaign, Captain Lambert in very flattering terms introduced the speaker of the evening. He spoke of Mr. gchuchlun as the next Congressman from this district. [t was fully five minutes before the representa- tive couid be heard, Men stamped their feet and shouted, while the ladies were content in the waving of their handker- chiefs and clapping their hands. McLachian spoke of tne fundin gbill and dwelt at length on the Nicaragua | Canal. One of the main points set forth in his argument was that the Republican party was the best friend silver has. His speech consumed about an hourand a half. Several others spoke for a few minutes each on_the issues of the present cam- aign. One of the most eloguent was, Enn, Edward Berwick of Pacific Grove. b 2N SALINAS ENTION, Republicans of Monterey County BSelect Their Candidates.

James as- sistant secretary. 1if any one had the idea that the Republicans of Monterey County were apathetic, that delusion was certainly dispelled by this convention. Never in the history of the county was aconven- tion so enthusiastic.

Four electors were nominated and a State Central Com- mittee selected. A resolution condemn- ing the support of Bryan by Federal office- holders of the State was tabled. —_——— LIPPITT TALKS AT CHICO.

Col- lim.‘?mluant of the meeting, intreduced Mr. Lippitt, who was mvfi with cheer after cheer. Mr. Livpitt, who formerly was a Demo- crat, stated hi: for the change. He said that he left the Democratic party, or that the party left him, because his love for his country was stronger than his love for a tp-rty that did not protect the interest of America and American institu- tions. —_——— FLINT 1S RENOMINATED, Chosen by Thirty-Third District Republi- cans to Succeed Himaself.
