Brief Speeches Ringing With Patriotism of the 0.d- Time Kind. INSULTED BY DEMAGOGUES. Resolutions Denouncing the Iasulters of Generals Howard, Alger and Sickles. One of the most successful meetings ot the campaign in point of comradeship and loyal sentiment was that held in the Auditorium last night by the Army and Navy Republican League of California under the auspices of the Republican State Central Committee. The hail was packed to overfloWing with grizzled veterans of one of the fiercest, bravest wars that was ever fought, and the galleries were fiilled with the sisters and daughters of the men who wore the blue and who fought against the prototypes of the Tillmans, the Altgelds and the Bryans. The following vice-presidents occupied seats on the platform: Major Frank McLaughlin, Hon. Thomas Shannon, General 8. W.Backus, Hon. Claus police believe that Private Detective E. T.

Friedrich, command- er-in-chief, presided over the meeling. He began his remarks by congratulating his hearers upon the fact that the day of election was near at hand, and the'argu- ments were nearly all in. The verdict would be against free trade, disaster and starvation, in favor of Jaw, of decency, the glory of the stars and stripes, the welfare of the working men and women of Amer- | ica, ana against the red flag of anarchy. The speaker told about an argument he heard a day or two ago on one of the Oak- land ferry-boats, in which argument the silver man said: “*I've got $1-in my pocket and when Bryan gets elected I'lf have $16 instead of $1.” The Republican spoke of the law of supply and demand and the silver man said: “You just wait until Bryan gets elected and he’ll repeal that law of supply and demand.” BSecretary Mastellar read a note from Waymire, who was to have presided at the meeting.

Hart was introduced and m Baylies got in | drew outa round of ngp]nuse by the re- mark that Jabor was king in the United Staies. Eighty-five per cent of the sol- diers of the Civil War were taken from the ranks of the laboring men. These men should not be defrauded out of the right- ful reward of their labor, and it shoula be remembered that under the administra- tion of the Republican party the laboring man received sound money for his labor, and the financial system of the Nation was in a sound and solvent condition. Mr. Hart charged that the Democratic party had never lived upto a single prom- ise. 1f the Democratic party came into power the tariff would be levied as it is now, for revenue only, to the great injury of the working people, while if the Re- publican party gets into power the tariff will be levied for protection of home in- dustries. A striking iliustration was given of the Erowction policy. One thousand jack- nives made in America at 2 cost of 67 cents each and sold in this country at §1. Thus labor receives §670, every doilar of which is retained in circulation among the people. 2 But 1! the thousand knives ere made in Sheffield, Epgland, and sold in this coun- try the money goes back to England to pay Engiish laborers and mechanics for competing with the laborers and mecban- ics of the United States. = The speaker iavored fencing in the United States against the influx of for- eign labor and pauper-labor products. Ex-United btates District Attorney Charles A. Garter, the next speaker, re- gretted that he could not address his hearers as “comrades,” but it was the one grief of his life that he could not explain even to his own boy the reason why hLe could not qualify himself for membership in the Army and Navy League. The league understood its business and could always be relied upon to stand up for the flag and Republican principles. Mr. Garter raised a langh and a cheer by remarking that it did not require a man to be so supersensitive as 10 sce the limbs of a fly walking on the ceiling or to hear the grassgrow in order to be able to pre- dict the result of the election on the 3d of November. He confessed that for a time he had_ fallen a victim to Coin Harvey’s book. He admired the colossal assurance with which Uoin had turned down coilege professors and insurance actuaries with his blackboards and hydrostatic jars. After the glamour of Coin’s figures had pas:zed away and the subject was regarded with the sober second thought, it was ap- parent that what the country needed more than anything else was the opening ot the mills and not the opening of the mints. 5 Bryan was represented as a man who was going around the country forcing the people to hear him chatter from the pack platiorms of railway trains. General E. 8. Balomon was introduced as an ex-soldier of the Civil War, with the greatest military record of any survivor of that war. The general was warmly greeted. He began by saying that for the first time in a Presidential campaign since the end of the war sectional fines were forgotten in the face of the great crisis now confronting the Nation. This is the time when every man who loves the Union should stand by the principles of the American Union, embodied in_the person of William McKinley. Tne allegation that the silver-mine owners had employed Bryanasa “spicler” to advertise their scheme was greeted with A Schilling & Co San l’mds:gnn’ -4 laughter and applause, The action of the Democracy in dropping the old tariff issues ana raising that of 16 to 1 was on, J. D, Pendergast, D. M. Cashin, | known in military parlance as a feint, but it was a failure. ‘Lhe general wasinterrupted at this point by ibe entrance of the Plumed Knights with fite and drums playing “Rally Round the Flag' and the air roused the veterans to such a pitch of enthusiasm that they rouel to their feet and cheered again and again. Alfred Wilkie sang “The Sword of Bunker Hill” in that sweet, peaceful and raceful manner which has given Mr. Wilkie his reputation as a tenor. In introducing Charles M. Shortridge General Friedrich spoke of him as the man who bad the courage to hurl back as slanders the utterances of the foul dema- gogues in the East who had insulted Gen- erals Howard, Alger and Bickies because they had appealed to the people to stand by the honor and glory of the flag. “Mr. Shortridge’s name has become a household word in this State,” continued General Friedrich, “but perhaps a whole lot of you don’t know him personally, but if you have arrived at a conclusion as to how helooks from the many pictures re- cently published in the newspapers you will be surprised when you find that he is one of the handsomest men in town.” Mr. Shortridge remarked that he had come to praise Bryan, not {o bury him. The interment would be atiended to by the voters on election day. Along with him will go Tillmanism and Altgeldism, sectionalism and repudiation and every- thing else of the kind that g-lges to defeat and disgrace the Union. They will be buried once and for all. “We thought that we had buried sec- tionalism long ago,” continued the speaker, “but Tillman got up in Chicago and said that this was a sectional fight and that sectionalism would win.” Referring to the fact that the admirers of Mr. Bryan have been likening him to Abraham Lincoln, the speaker said that the only approach to resembliance between Mr. Bryan and the martyred President was the fact that the boy orator of Ne- braska once lived in & town of Nebraska named Lincoln. Lincoln never favored repudiation, and he could not, therefore, have been like Bryan. He was never in favor of class rising against class, and he believed in wiping from the slave the badge which held him down. He believed in destroying class distinc- tions and in making all the citizens of this great Union equal before the law. The silver question was taken up by the Democracy in order todivert the attention of the people from the issue of the tariff, which the Democracy could not face. Bryau is not only not in favor of protec- tion, but he is afraid to talk about it. The speaker concluded with a good word for Congressman Loud, who had fought for this country when its safety was ihreatened. At the conclusion of his address a com- rade in the audience provosed three cheers for Mr. Shortridge, which "were given as lustily as only old soldiers and sailors know how to give them. Mrs, George E. Svencer, daughtar of a comrade, recited ‘‘Sheridan’s Rice' very spiritedly, to the delight of the veterans, who gave her an encore. Colonel Charles E. Wiison followed with a brief address in which he said that greuli to the discomfiture of the Democ- racy the tariff ghost would not down in this campaign, notwithstanding the ery of 16to 1. He told of the times when the employer took $20 pieces to the money brokers, changed it into silver money, | making a premium on the gold, and pay- ing his workmen in silver. At the same | time merchants were paying for their goods with gold and receiving silver money from the people for them. In order to overcome the loss, gold being at a premium, the merchants marked up the goods about 10 or 15 per cent higher and the working people had to pay this tax. So, under free coinage, goods would be marked up to meet the difference between the bullion value of silver and its fictitious value placed there by the Government stamp. Judge Henry. C. Dibble was introduced as a brave comrade who had left one ot his legs on the battle field at Fort Hudson, Comrade Dibble went back to the time of the re-election of Abraham Lincoln. This restored confidence in tne Union cause. Something of that kind is needed now. Oneof the greatest crises thatthe coun- try has ever met is just passing and within the past two years hundreds of thousands ot laboring men have been seen marching in mdustrial armies seeking for work and food of which they had been deprived by the operations of a Demo- cratic free-trade tariff. Restoration of confidence can come only with the elec- tion of that champion of protection, Wil- ham McKinley. The Republican Furly stands for loyal- ty, for principle, for conservatism, and preserves what Lincoln worked for and what Grant and tne brave soldiers of the Union foughtior. Throughout the South on the 34 of November will be seen the sight of soldiers and citizens voting for Major McKinley as the exponens of the prineciple of conservatism. Against this is a new radical party com- posed of the followers ot Altgeld ana sach men—a new socialistic party which de- clares that the President should not have power to suppress disorder unless invited by Altgeld, and which would tear down the Supreme Court of the United States. The declaration in the Republican plat- ‘| form that it would try to establish inter- national bimetallism stas for some- thing, for the Republican party keeps its pledges, G -neral Friedrich read the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted : WHEREAS, During the recent tour of Generals Alger, Howard, Sickles and others, and while engsged in. the laudable and patriotic service of addressing the ople on behalf of good government, loyalty to our institutions, the honor of the flag and the perpe- tuity of the Union, they have been most viciously maligned and insulted by certain demagogues and blatherskites on the stump and by certain newspapers, notabl in Omaha, Nebr., all in the interest of W.J, Bryan, Dem.-Populist candidate for the Presi- dency, being des‘l{nnled as bummers, skunks and men who had lost their honor and patriot- iswm and the tools of political shysters; now, thereiore, Resolved, That the Army and Navy Re- publican League of California, with its friends in muss-meeling assembled, representing 15,000 ex-Union soldiers and sailors domi- ciled in California, do .hereby denounce such utterances as a slander upon gallant soldiers and reputable gentlemen, and denounce the mAn or men Who uttered them as disloyal and unworthy 10 enjoy the privileges and blessings of American ciiizenship. Resolved, That the great and distinguished services rendered their country by those tried and battle-scarred heroes, Howard, Sickles and Alger, entitle them to the respect and lasting gratitude of their fellow-citizens, and that their memory will f“ be preserved as a glorious heritage centuries after that of their cowardly detractors shall have been blotted out forever. The meeting adjourned with cheers for McKiniey and protection. { g COLONEL SHAW’S DEVICE, It Recelves the Approval of the National Committee. Major McLaughlin of the Republican State Central Committee reports that Samuel M. Bhortridge has recovered from his recent severe attack of sickness and that he will take the stump again for the Republican party. Mr. Shortridge will speak in Sutter Creex, Amador County, on Saturday, Oc- tober 24; in Angels Camp, Calaveras County, Monday, October 26; in James. town, Tuolumne County, on the afternoon of Tuesday, October 27, and in the evening of the same day in Sonora. The Republican National Committee has adopted as one of its campaign educa- tiopal devices in the East a kindergarten object lesson suggested by Colonel Henry G. Shaw of Btockton, Cal.,, and already employed very effectively by that gentle- man on the stump in this State, The colonel has received a letter from Perry S. Heath, chairman of the National Committee on publication and printing, complimenting him upon its simplicity and adaptability. He informs him that Mark Hanna was very much impressed with the idea. Lilinois newspapers of a recent date call the attention of Republican campaign speakers in that State to its merits, and yefer 1o it as one of the simplest but most striking illustrations of the disastrous effects to be feared from the independent, free and unlimited coinage of silver ata ratio of 16 to 1. The device consists of two strips of paper of equal length, each of which is made by pasting a bit of gold paper to a bit of silver paper and that again to a piece of green paper, representing green- backs. The strips are three and three- quarters inches wide by sixteen inches in length. The goid and silver pieces are each six inches i length and the green piece is four 1pches long. They ‘epresent about the amdunt of money in the coun- try—in round numbe:s $600,000,000 of gold and silver and $400,000,000 in un- covered paper. Each inch stands for $100,000,000 in money. Colonel Shaw bands one strip to the chairman of a meeting, while he proceeds to dissect with a pocket pair of scissors the corresponding strip. Aftér explain- ing how gold, becoming a commodity, will be driven out cf circulation as money, he clips off the six inches of gold paper. His next move is to show that under free coinage the silver aollar will be worth only half its face value, wherenpon he slices three inches off the silver strip. He follows this up by elipping two inches from the green paper, because the green- backs on a silver basis will also lose half their purchasing power. The climax is reached when Colonel Shaw takes from the hands of the chair- man of the meeting the uncnt duplicate slips and holding both up before the audi- ence contrasts the two. It is a visual demonstration of the pos- sible sudden :hrinksgo of the country’s stock of money from $16,090,000 to §5,000,- 000, or a contraction of $11,000,000 under the proposed free-coinage policy. The effect is very startling, as it conveys to the average mind in a more striking man- ner than words could the ealamitous consequences of the sudden retirement of gold irom circulation. The speaker ex- plains that the mints could not coin silver dollars fast enough to fill the vacuum, and each |- WILL SWEEP THE COUNTRY What Senater Redfield Proctor Predicts of Mc- Kinley's Campaign.

Redfield Proctor of Vermont, Becretary of War under President Har- rison, and since then United States Senator from his State, arrived here yesterday and is at the Palace. Senator Proctor, since the Vermont election, has been making a few speeches in other States. Now he is here for a brief rest. He stopped for a few days in Chicago while |Sketched from life | i United States Senator Redfield Proctor of Vermont, by a “Call” artist.] that the only relief from the situation would be the inflation of our paper cur- rency, and this would only mean a re- vival of all the evils of greenbackism. Meanwhile the catastrophe would be pre~ cipitated in the shape of the most appal- ling commercial and financial panic of modern times. The following is a copy of the letter: REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE, CHICAGO HEADQUARTERS, Oct, 2, 1896. Colonel Henry G. Shaw, Stockton, Cal.—DEAR Sir: Mr. Hanna is greatly obliged to you for your letter suggesting an effective method of exhibiting to a popular sudience the contrac- tion of the currency which would result from the free colnage of silver.

Republican Olubs, Wheelmen Others Invited to Attend. The Kepublican clubs of the City and surrounding towns are invited to partici- pate in the grand Republican parade on Saturday, October 3. It is confidently hoped that this will be the greatest politi- cal demonstration ever held in this City and that clubs from all the n ear-by cities will be present and in line. The wheelmen of the City are also in- vited to participate. The grand marshal, Colonel George Stone, is making special efforts to arrange for a ]“i' body of cyclists to take part, offering them a posi- tion between the divisions, where they can make a good showing. ’fhiu will bea chance for patriotic Republican cyclists to show their ingenuity in decorating their wheels with the insignia of Republi- canism. A All desiring to participate are invited to send in their names ana a statement of the fact that they will be on hand at the grand marshal’s headquarters, 24 Fourth street, Pioneer building,as soon as con- venient. ool s IN SANTA CLARA. and Preparing for a Grand Parade In San Jose on the 24th Inst. D. F. McGraw, president of the Santa Clara County Republican League, was in the City yesterday. He reports great en- thusiasm and muck activity Republicans of 8an Jose and vicil They are not content with st g up the minds of the citizens of Santa Clara County by their own efforts, but have de- cided to call in the help of their neighbors and have’'a big rally on the night of Bat- urday, the 24th of the present month. On that occasion some of the ablest speakers of the £tate will be in San Jose, and such an entertainment will be offered that people from far and near will attend. The following-named organizations have promised to be present in the line of march: Oakland Rn&l:bliun Alliance, Ouakland Young Men’s Republican League, Oakland Army and Navy League, Ala- meda McKinley Club, Haywards Repub- lican Club, Pheenix Republican League of San Francisco, Thirty-fifth Assembly Drill Corps, Forty-eighth Assembly Drill Corps, Fourth District Club of San Francisco and the San Francisco Union League Club, s aeosecud Lincoln Club Rally. The Lincoln Republican Club met last night at their heaaquarters, 103 Ninth street. A large number of the members of the club was present besides invited uests, among whom were a number of emocrats. fohn H. Harney addressed the meeting in_behalf of Georee W. Elder. C. H. Wetjen, William A. Deane, William H. Powers and others also spoke. — Plckpockets Arrested. o Willlam Hagan and Emmet Brannan, two young men, were arrested last nighi by De- tective Graham on the ch“? of nd lar- ceny. They are accused of picking vf: pocket of fil‘l. ‘Gorden on Market street, near Fifth. ———— ALBUMS, onyx tables, lamps, framed pictures, etc., for wedding presents, at Sanborn & Vail’s* en rou'e, and generally cast h's eye over the battlefield. The veteran campaigner does not believe there will be any diffi- culty in carrying the country for Mec- Kinley. He does not expect to make any speeches here, and when he leavesina few days he wiil return home in easy stages by way of Oregon and the Northerr: Pacific, This is the fourth visit of the distin- guished gentleman to California. He was here last just after General Harrison had been elected, when the latter wired him to come on to Indianapolis and see him. | When he did so General Harrison offered him the portfolio of Secretary of War, which place was accepted. Senator Proctor is a tall, well-built man, with a high forehead, brown hair, a full iron-gray beard and a deep voice, which of itseif would mark him as a man accus- | tomed to talk to many people. He is 65 years old, but does not look it. When a CALL representative visited him to ask what he could say regarding the campaign, he said that as for Vermont that State bad already spoken, and in a way so decided that it emphasized the desire for honest money, law and order. He hoped, he said, that California would doas well. The Senator told that never be- fore had Vermontgiven quite 28,000 ot a Re- Eublican majority, not even in war times, ut this year it went 40 per cent better, | and rolled up a majority that, yiewed from the opening of the cmplig@. ap- | peared colossal. X | This was the more strange, because for | a year previous silver literature had been | scattered among the farmers. The farmers were intluenced by it, but the Republican | leaders did not know of the existence of the literature for a good while. *I hope you will have such a majority bere,” said the Senator, ‘as will leave no question as to the number of Republicans Dere, The majority ought to be big and emphatic, overwhelming in its force. It this were an ordinary campaign where there were simply honest differences about tne tariff, it would not so much matter, but to any way make a tacit indorsement of such a platform as that adopted at Chicazo would be something to be de- plored. “Now, I spent some time in Chicago on my way out, and while there I gathered what I _could from as reliable sources | as possible in regard to the fight thatis | being waged in the es about there. “lowa is perfectly safe. Nebraska I don’t pretend to know about. We are go- ing to carry all the country north of the Potomac and Ohio and east of the Missis. sippi. This region alone will elect McKin- ley, but in addition we expect to carry | Iowa, and also West Virginia, sure. “I don’t think there is any guestion about Minnesota, Michigan or Indiana. As for Wisconsin, there never wasany doubt about that. “In Illinois I didn’t meet a man who did not say that the -Republicans would carry that State by at least 100,000. Mr. Kohisaat, whom everybody knows. says lilinois will go for McKinley by 200,000. And Senator Cullum, whom I met, said to me: ‘I began early in the campaign say- ing that we would give 50,000, then fralud 1t to 75,000, and now my estimate is over 100,000, and I don’t put any limat on it.” ‘Benator Quay, who is a good judge and would not, I think, overestimaie the figures, has lately said that McKinley wiil got 270 electoral votes.” Senator Proctor had a number of callers after his arrival. The Senator has risen steudily in prominence since the war, when hie began as a lieutenant. He served through the war, and in 1867, 1868 and 1888 was a member of the Vermont House of Representatives. In 1874 and 1875 he was a State Senator and Presideat pro tem. of the Senate. A yearlater he was elected Lieutenant-Governor. He served two years and then was elected Governor, which office he filled also for two years. Then he was appointea Secretary of War. Bince then he has been made Senator.

Boyce, whole- sale and retail druggist, Duluth, Minn., who after a quarter of a century of observation writes: “I have sold Ayer’s Sarsaparilla for more than 25 years, both at wholesale and retail, and have never heard any- thing but words of praise from my customers ; not a single complaint has ever reached me.

WENTWORTH VINDICATED Assailed by the “Chronicle” He Refutes Every Charge as Libelous, And Alleges the Reason for the At- tack Is His Refusal to Vcte for De Young. George Wentworth, regular Republican candidate for the Assembly from the Thirty-seventh Assembly District, makesa most effective reply to libelous and false charges against him in the Chronicle yes- terday morning. He ascribes the authorship of the charges to a personal enemy named L. H, Van Schaick and to resentment on the part of M. H. de Young because he (Went- worth) declined to vote for Mr. de Young for the United States Senatorship. With reference to the charge that Mr, ‘Wentworth dodged 100 votes while a mem- ber of the Legislature the journal of the | Assembly showsthat not one of the eighty | members voted as many as 375 out of the 527 rollcalls, while Mr. Wentworth voted 256 times and wasgranted leave of absence on important committee duties during fifty-one votes, This should give to his credit 307 votes, which is above the average for each mem- ber, Mr, Wentworth was a member of five sommittees, of two of which he was chairman, namely, of the San Fran- cisco delegation and of municipal corporations. He was a member of the Committees on Judiciary, Eiections and Appoiniments, and he subsequently became chairman of the/Assembiy com- mittee to_ investigate the wastebasket scandal. His attendance on these com- mittees took up a considerable portion of his time, and he was necessarily absent from many rolicalls on adjournment, etc. He explains his aavocacy of the law to rotect the eggs of seagnlls on the Faral- | lon Islands, by saying that he had read a well-written article in the San Francisco Chronicle recommending such a lawas a sanitary measure, the gulls being very use- ful scavengers. With reference to the charge of having voted for Leland Stanford for United States Senaror, it is explained thag Mr, Stanford was the only Republican candi- date to succeed himself, and he received the entire vote of the Republican Senators and Assembiymen. - =To fill the yacancy caused by the death of Senator Hearst Mr. Wentworth voted for John F.Swift on the day on which that gentleman died in China. The next day he voted for W. W. Morrow, and Morrow’s name having been withdrawn he voted for Mr. Felton, Mr. Wentworth being one of the three from this City who did not wear the boss’ collar. Out of eighteen Republican Assembly- | men, there were three who did not sup- port *Mr. de Yonng, and Wentworth was one of the three. He voted for the J. J. Conlan relief bill, believing that 1t was a just and merito- rious claim. The bill passed both branches 0. the Lecislature by alarge majority, and was approved by Markham. The act was passea upon by Judge Heb- bard; who sustained its constitutionality. ‘The claim subsequently passed the last Legislature and was approved by Governor udd. The Chronicle’s charge that Wentworth introduced the bill providing for certain deputies in the office of the City and County Attorney is denounced as being NEW TO-DAY.

How Lost and How Regained ! ‘What is there in all nature that calls for greater admiration than a perfect specimen of physicel manhood? He com- mands the admiration of all kinds and clasges regardless of sex. Why is this the case? It is undoubtedly due to the fact that there is a comparative scarcity of physically perfect men. All men are as a rule born equal in the matter of physical health and strength, yet how uaequal in these attributes is the standing of many compared with their fellow-men before their life’s race is a quarter or a third run. The cause isa common one—unfortunately too common. The affiiction responsible for the shattered and broken-down con- dition both physically and mentally of so many men, both young and middle-aged, i3 Nervous Debility. It is eithertheresult of youthful indiscretions or of living at the pace that kills. Excessive indul- gences, mental worry and anxiety, all producing a constant strain and drain on the nervous system, soon undermine the strongest constitution. The result is manifest in the many physical and mene tal wrecks met with every day in life. Weere health and strength, both mental and physical, should exist if the body had been well cared for there is seen instead a man afflicted with that most horrible of all diseases, Nervous Debility, with its train of attending evils. It is manifested inthe foliowing symptoms: Weakness of body and mind, brain dullness, dizziness, loss of memory, a wandering mind, lack of energy ana confidence, pains in the head back, dimness of vision, discontent, despondency, aversion to scciety, dread of impending danger, ete.
