4 ; THE S FRANCISCO CALL, UNDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1896. BOUTELLE TALKS AT L0S ARGELES, Maine's Congressman Given an Ovation in the South. Thousands of People Unable to Crowd Within Reach of His Vaice. EAST AND WEST HAND IN HAND He Pays a Tribute to California for Its Fidelity to the Peerless Blaine. LOS ANGELES, Car., Oct. 17.—Charles A. Boutelle, the eloquent Congressman from Maine, was given an ovation by the Republicans of Southern California in this city to-night. Thousands were turned | away from Hazard’s Pavilion, unable to find standing-room. The champion ‘of protection and prosperity was conducted to the great pavilion by the uniformed Americus Club of Pasadena, each member bearing the National coiors. ‘About 6000 persons heard the Maine statesman, who wa: splendid voice and delivered one of the ablest and most tell- ing speeches ever heard in Southern Cali- fornia. The meeting was under the auspices of the Business Men’s Sound Money Club. John F. Francis, chief executive officer of the last Fiesta de Los Angeles, was chair- man. The visiting orator went directly into the issues of the campaign, which he handled in a masterly manner. He said in part: From 1876 to 1892 the Republicans of my State have been indebted to Californians for their unswerving fidelity to our peerless | statesman, James G. Blsine—a deLt which we | shall never be able to repay. We don’t wish to in full; we want 1o pay by instailments. m here to-night and so my greater col- gue, Thomas B. Reed, will here to bring you the greetings of most of the Eastern | States of the Usion. ButIcome not here to call sinnersto re- pentaice. | come without a doubt in my mind | as to where California will be found on Novem- ber 3d ne: hen casting her yote for Presi- | dent of the United States. I bring to you from the gocd old State of Maine—I bring you from that mecca of patriotism, Canton, Ohio, and by Major McKinley's request—the greetings of the adyance agent of prosperity. Does any onetell me of a doubt as to California? The suggestion of a doubt is an indictment of the | inte! ce of the peooie of the Golden State. The cause which I advocate is not the cause of a section, not the cause of a State, not the | cause of & class, but the cause of the whole country. When I see men trying to re-enflame the hatred of the South and to enflame the eople of the West against the- Eastern Sta look with confidence to hearof a re e being given to such agitators of sectionalism when the first opportunity offers, Before a chesm can be opened bstween the loving hearts of the men and women of the East and the patriotic and magnanimous peo- ble of the South and West, human nature will ave to be recomstructed. aud the memories of Lexington and Bunker Hill will have passed away. The question we sare considering in this eampaign, it is needless to say, is important. We all know that things are just what they used to be, The people have to remedy it and they will do it. Tt should be enough for the intelligent peo- ple to point to the unexampled prosperity we | enjoyed in 1892, During thirty years this country was blessed with marvelous prosper- ity under the Republican party. It 1s impos- sible to find a parallel in history ot the progress of the country equal to ours from | 1861 to 1892. Every day of that period saw &0 accumulation in wealth of $2,500,000. 1challenge judgment here to-nignt on the policy of onr country under the edminisira- tion of the Republican party. Thatprosperity | was not ap accident, nor did the Nation stum- ble upon it. It was accomplished by pursuing a policy which the Republican party gave io the Government. There is not & single line in human produc- tion to which this benevolent policy does not apply. We want the greatest co-operative system ever revealed to mankind dwelline in tbe territory known as the United States. The whole quesiion was befors the American peo- ple two years ago and the verdict of the people was for 8 reversal of the existing sysiem and an emphatic vindication of the policy main- tained by the McKinley legislation. A R ORATORY AT STOCKTON. Major Kyle Advocates Protection, and Attorney Levinsky Equal Suffrage. STOCKTON, Cair., Oct. 17.—A- laree crowd filled the big Agricultural Pavilion to-night to listen to the address of Major C. W. Kyle and Arthur Levinsky. The latter gentleman, an attorney of this city, was selected by the local Woman’s Suf- frage Club to speak in its behalf. Asa compliment to the women who are striv- ing for their rights a number of them were invited by the Republican County Com- mittee to sit on the platform as vice-presi- dents of the meeting. Chairman Nelson of the county commit- tee introduced as chairman of the meet- ing Frank E. Dunlay of thiscity. Ina brief address he outlined the issues of the campaign and then introduced Major Kyle. gn bis opening remarks the major said that he congratulated the ladieson the fact that this would be the lastcam- paign in which they would have to stand off and watch the men cast their ballots. T.e Republican party, he said, had al- ways done the ri ht thing when it found the right thing to do. _For this reason, he thought, woman suffrage would triumph in November in California through the efforts and votes of Republicans. Major Kyle said that the idea of sound money was to establish a dollar which labor might be paid without any chance of its fluctuating in value. He pointed out that the history of America demonstrated the fact that gold and silver could never be so regulated thet both metals could go hand in hand, porforming the functions of money with- out varying in values. Kyle’s remarks were frequently cbeered. Arthur Levinsky's address was an able effort, ana, as there were hundreds of women in the sudience, his speech met with a rousing reception. gt 5 S OLD : MONTEREY ANSWERS. Ex-Governor Pacheco Speaks to Spanish- Americans in the Tongue of Their Mother Country. MONTEREY, Car., Oct. 17.—The Re- publicans of Monterey and Pacific Grove had a big rally here to-night. It was un- der the auspices of the McKinley and Ho- bart clubs of both towns, ana was the third large rally held here during the ‘present campaizn. The Monterey brass band paraded the vrincipal streets, and an enormous crowd gathered at Bagby’s Opera-house, on Al- varado street, to listen to the several prominent speakers billed to give their views of the issues of the day. The bail was artistically decorated with ferns, vines and cut flowers, and the effect was beantiful. The American flag was festooned across the sra.e ahd pictures of McKinley and Hobart were surrounded by those of former Presidents of the United I States, with the Stars and Stripes as a background. Mexicans and Spaniards of Carmel and Toro and even as far off as the Corral de Tierra coun'ry were vresent to listen to ex- Governor Romualdo Pacheco, the prinei- pal speaker of the evening, express his views in Spanish on the R:publican side of the money question. 2 Vance Turtelot, a prominent attorney of Monterey, was the first speaker. He dis- cussed the issues o’ the dav in Enzhsh. His able remargs, backed by numerous statistics, were received with great favor and evoked general enthusiasm. He con- sumed about & half hour and then gave way to Governor Pacheco. 5 Jacob R. Leese, a prominent Republican of Monterey County, introduced the speaker of the evening in Spanish, speak- ing of the ex-Governor as one of the lead- ing representatives of the old families of Monterey, and'saying that what he would tell the people could be relied upon, as they well knew, Pacheco always having been the idol of the Spanish-Americans of California. Governor Pacheco opened his speech— or attempted to do so—amid vociferous applause, He first spoke in Eng- lish and then in Spanish, telling bis many hearers that he was one of them, that his parents lived here and that old Monterey was his home for many years and, that being the case, he wonld address his townspeople, lending his best efforts to please them and still teil the truth. After talking to the En%lhh- speaking portion of bis audience for a half-hour he opened his argument Spanish. He said there never was so vital a_cam- aign 10 all of the States of the Union Eu: in an especial degree to Californ He discussed all points of the money ques- tion and dwelt at length on the issue of protection. His eulogy of McKin- ley, whbo, he said, was his per- sonal friend, and whom he knew to be 8 man whose heart beatin unison with thaet of the humblest American laborer, brought forth the greatest demon- stration of the evening. In conclusion he wished his old-home people & most pros- peroas future, which he said would surely come if McKinley was elected, JACKSON WOMEN MARCH.

JACKSON, CAL., Oct. 17.—The grandest demonstration of the campaign took place to-night, the occasion being the reception tendered to ex-Governor Markham on his advent in the county after a week ot suc- cessful campaign in_Calaveras County.

The procession was the largest that ever formed here and the enthusiasm has never been exceeded on any occasion. The Ladies’ Republican Club turned out, fifty strong, and enlivened the procession with their lambeaux and handsome cos- tumes of black, trimmed in the National colors. The meeting was called to order by Hon. John F. Davis, chairman of the County Central Committee, and B. F. Taylor was elected president of the evening. After ex-Governor Markham had spoken on the issues of the campaign Jndge Davis ad- dressed the audience on the free and un- limited coinage of siiver and the position in S| of the Republican party on the silver question.

City Juatices Do Mot Hold Uver for Four Years. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct. 17.—Judge Van Dyke overruled the demurrer of de- fendants in proceedings brought by Charles O. Morgan and C. 8. Bartholo- mew, fusion nominees for City Justices, apainst County Clerk Lewin and the Boara of Supervisors to compel them toplace their names on ballots for the ensuing election. It had been decided mnot to put the names of Uity Justices on the ballots in accordance with the opinion of District Attorney Donnell, who thought the present City Jastices hold for four years under the county government act of 1893. Judge Van Dyke filed a long opinion, in which he holds that i1 there were a doubt in reference to the effects of the act upon the term of office of City Justices it should be resolved against the extension of the term. He granted the defendants leave to answer forthwith if they so desired. The Judge says that the City Justices of San Francisco are created by a different provision of ti.e Code of Civil Procedure from tbat in reference to Justices in other cities of the State. Still the reasoning of the court in Kahn vs. Satio applies to other cities as well. The question whether it would have been better to have had terms of city and township Justices the same is a matter for the Lesislature and not for the courts to determine. There may be a reason for the difference, as suggested by the Supreme Court in Kahn vs. Sutro. e e FRESNO CONIRACTOR ROBBED. Valuables Stolen K¥rom Him by a Irio of Disreputables. FRESNO,.Cav., Oct. 17.—James Kervin, a Valley road grading contractor, was robbed of a $1500 draft and $75 in money last night while riding with two women of guestionable character and a male friena of theirs. Kervin met the trio in a saloon and they started for a drive. When two miles from town Kervin thought of his valuables, and reached into his inside coat pocket to find if they were there. The draft and money were gone, and the contractor realized that he had been robbed. He jumped from the buggy to the ground, stopped the horse and de- manded the return of 'is valuables. The driver started the horse off on a run and left Kervin standing in the roaa. The trio were arrested to- PORTLAND HO. RS BOLLES.

BANTA CRUZ, Cai., Oct. 17. -Senta Cruz saw to-day the greatest local politi- cal demonstration of this campaign, and heard the greatest exposition of political issues. General W. H. L. Barnes, escorted by the Republican Alliance of Oakland, 110 strong, commandeda by E. V. W. Gas- kell, arrived at 6 p. ». The visitors were escorted from the depot to the Pacitic Ocean House by the McKinley-Hobart Club and a crowd of some 3000 enthusiasts followed. General Barnes and the Alliance Clab were dined by the McKinley-Hobart Club at the Pacific Ocean House, and President Galbraith of the McKinley-Hobart Club gave a hearty welcome to the guests. Gen- eral Barnes responded. At 8P. M. 50 dense were the crowds on Pacific avenue that the band of the Al- liance Club had difficulty in making its advance to the pavilion. The entire route was lined with spectators from BSogquel, Aptos, Boulder Creek and other districts, Fifteen hundred men were in the Re- publican parade. The pavilion was packed to ths doors,and hundreds were turned away. ing General Barnes paid a high tribute to his unswerving loyalty to the Republican cause, praised Senator Perkins and thanked the peerless Oakland Alliance for its visit to Santa Cruz. ‘When General Barnes stepped to the front of the platform he was given an en- thusiastic reception. Three cheers were given for Barnes, followed by three times three for McKinley and Hobart. Again and again the general essayed to speak, only to be received with volumes of cheers and the waving of banners and flags. Upon order being restored, the General plunged at once into the silver question. He said: The great stigma which rests upon the Democratic party of to-day is its policy of re- pudiation, its effort to breed sectional strife, Lz:“ xdeenlil'a to array the classes against the Never had this silver question assumed se. rious proportions until the overproduction of silver in Nevada, and subsequently Stewart and Jones ianned the flames which are fast leading the silver Democrats into a scorching fire of public damnation. These men were the fathers of the silver agitalion, as Alt eld and Tillman were the fathers of the anarchistic brood who seek to dismermber the Republic. The speaker referfed to the fact that at the time the Bland-Allison bill went into effect silver was at 112 and in 1890 it bhad depreciated to 85 and the inflow of silver could not be checked. The Sherman bill fathered a baby in 150,000,000 of dollars, which the United States was now asked to feed. That baby was bred in error and nur- tured in gross ignorance of the commer- cial laws of this country. Referring to Bryan, General Barnes quoted the fact that the Democratic Presi- dential nominee was no business man. He was shilty and only four months ago he tried to obtain a position on the staff of a New York journal as theatrical critic and failed. Yet this same failure, this same Bryan, by his smooth topnzue be- guiled the Democrats and Populists into nominating and indorsing him for the highest gift in the power of the voters of this grand Republic to bestow. The producers of silver are ineatiable and Bryan is but the puppet of the Nevada silver producers. The Chicago convention was one in which savagery predominated; it was a convention bewhiskered by Populistic gangs, stampeded by a wave of socialism and con- quered by the red rag of those who preached “Up with the classes. and down with the masses.” [Prolonged cheering.] The Chicago convention desired the degra- dation of the Supreme Court of the United States and the glorification of Altgeldism. Kansas to-day, after a wave of Populism, is only to be compared to Goldsmith’s Deserted Viliage. The towns and_villages are depopu- l'ned. as if a pestilence had swept whole sec- ions. Bryan, the blatant Nebraskan grasshopoer, was but preaching anarchy when he desired a complete financiali change of the coinage of this country. It was but a choice between Bryan theaiknown and McKinley, whose bill was known, whose record was clear, the cham- pion of all, the protector of those needing pro- iection, the defsmer of none, whom none dic- tated to or could point to anything but pride. Fellow citizens: I°do not believe that an allwise Providence, who watched over usin the storm of war, who guided us in.the days of peace, who has healed the pang caused by civil dissension and who has guided thiz great Republic into the van of commercial natfons, will inflict upon us this scourge of repudiation ; this whip of the world's scorn or the terrible heari-pangs of another war of man against man aod brother against brother. I believe (slthough the Examiner says Ilie when Isay o) that William McKinley wiil be elected, and Iam proud tossy Iknowin my innermost heart that William McKinley is & man whom I, as a life-long Republican, can in- dorse, and a eitizen whom this broad republic can honor with honor to itself. Prolonged and vociferous cheering, dur- ine which President Galbraith moved three cheers for McKinley, broke forth as the General reached the climax of his peroration. A vote of thanks was passed to General Barnes and the Republican Alliance of Qak! Santa Cruz at midnight is ablaze with colored lights, illuminations and bonfires. General Barnes, upon his return to the Pacific Ocean House,received quite an ovation. The visitors will leave for San Fran- cisco at 4 p. a. to-morrow by special train and will be escorted to the depot by the McXinley-Hobart clubs of S8anta Cruz and ‘Watsonville, the McKinley Cabets and Wallace Reynolds Post, G.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Oct. 17.—The woman’s suffrage raily at the Santa Barbara opera-house this evening was at- tended by alarge audience. Miss Susan B. Anthony made a telling speech, which doubtless made many converts, judging from the applause which her address was punctuated with, Miss Anthony was fol- lowed by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, who gave many well drawn comparisons be- tween Wyoming and' other States, which showed that Wyoming pegple were of a higher average of intelligence and better governed than those of any other State. This she attributed to the enfranchisement of women, e Santa Barbara’s Innovation.
