2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1896. ure to make a telling speech on the free- dom of employes. Among other things he said: > “The slanderous reports of the Bourbon press about the coercion of American em- ployes are an insult to every American employe. There is no coercion, and we want, none but friends of sound money id the parade. [Cheers and applause.] If there is anything in human shape so con- temptible as to wear 2 McKinloy button and parade when opposed to the things McKinley stands for, then that low form of humanity would probably be found in such a party as Bryan represents.” [Ap- plause.] The association has one strong object- lesson that is a contradiction to the slander that men are being coerced by their"employers. It has many applica- tions from the unemployed, who want to march for a cause that promises to give them work again, and the committee has made arrangements to give the unem- ployed a prominent place and to furnish them officers, flags and badges. The turniture, upholstery and ca rpet in- dustries will be largely represented in the parade. They held a meeting yesterday | ana arranged for a union band of sixteen pieces, for 300 a float and badges. More than 300 will tein line. The followingare some of the additional organizations that have reporred that they will participate in Saturday’s great march: The Bear Club, line. Fire and Marine Insurance men, 250, with United States First Infantry Band. | Leather-workers, tanners and boot and shoe men, 750 strong. The McKinley Invineibles, 200, sixty of whom will be uniformed. Baud. Woman’s Annex of the National Re- publican League, fifty, in carriages. Oakland Republican Alliance, in uni- form, 100.

The Sound Morey League. McKinley Labor Union. Italian-American Republican League. Afro-American Republican League. It has been decided that all carrisges will be piaced at the very end of the parade, the places of honor in every in stance going to those afoot. All organizations in Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda are requested to revnortat ‘once to L. L. Bromwell, 410 California | street, that there may be no delay in | making arrangements. l All the raiiroad and Eastern steamship | company agents in this City will turn out ard form a special division 100 strong in | she great Republican daylight parade. That was decided yesterday at a meeting held in the rooms of the Traffic Associa- tion in the Mills building. A large repre- sentation was present, inclnding officials from all of the thirty or more agencies here of Eastern railroad and Atlantic steamship lines, exciusive of the Southern Pacific, which will turn out a special divi- | sion of its own. *The aecision was unanimous and spon- taneous that the various agencies take part in the parade. One of the most significant features of | the novel undertaking was the selection of | pal for the division. To D. W. ack, the well-known general agent of the Union Pacific Railroad, was ac- corded the special honor, because up to | the present campaign he has been widely and generally known to his associates in | the railroad service asa life-long Demo- crat of the old Jeffersonian school. This time he will cast his first Republican vote, and it will be for McKinley. Mr. Hitchcock coula not be at the meet- ing, but the following committee was ap- pointed to notify him at his office: M, M. Stern of the Canadian Pacific, Frank McCormack of the Rock Island road, F. F. Connor of the Orezon Railway and Navigation Company, W. D. Snedaker of the Rio Grande, H. Fahnestock of the American Line Steamship Company and C. L. Canfield of the Rock Island road. As chairman Mr. Stern told Mr. Hitch- cock of his appointment and welcomea bim into the Republican ranks. In a happy little speech Mr. Hitchcock accept-d the position, He will appoint his aids to-day. The commitiee of arrangements, of which M. M. Stern is coairman, will meet at 10 o'clock this morning to decide upon the character of uniforms to be worn and to attend to other matters. A novel and e showing is promised, as all the participants are enthusiastic and declare that there can he no suggestion of any coercion in what they have so heartily gone in for. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company has made special round-trip rates from neighboring towns. The rate will be good on all trains arriving here Saturday fore- noon and returning Saturday afternoon or Sunday. Round trip rates will be as follows: From Sacramento . From Steckton. ¥rom Calistoga. ¥rom Santa Rosa ¥rom Vacaville From Livermore. From San Jose. Bpecial rates on the same scale of re- duction will be given from all the inter- mediate stations. Bome of the towns are forming parties and buying tickets in blocks of sixty to secure chartered car rates which will be a trifle less even than the general reduction. Great interest is being shown all down the line in the Reed meeting to be held at Btockton to-night. The railroad has made speciai reduced round-trip rates for that 2lso. A special train will be run from Bacramento to Stockton to take persons wishing to hear the great Maine orator speak. A similar arrangement of. special rates has been made for the Reed meeting at San Jose to-morrow nighit. The real estate men had a lively meet- ing concerning the parade yesterday after- noon. A, J. Rich was chairman and Henry Btern secretary of the meeting, and the following were present: Henry Sonntag, ‘Wendell Easton, G. H. Umbsen, 0. A. von Rbhein, John Pforr, Charies Spader, G, W. Burnham, David Rich, A. J. Rich, It was decided to issue a general call to clients and property-owners. They will | | have been be invited to participate.with the real estate division, which will have banners, flas and a band. This division will travel in carriages, Martin J. Burke was elected grand mar- shal. He is the oldest real estate man in the City. The textile-lealers had a meeting at the Board of Trade yesterday to further perfect plans. They will issue a circular to the trade forthwith. All who desire to take part under this division should re- | port to Phil Fisher, chairman of the com- mittee. At an enthusiastic meeting of the fruit- deaiers yesterday afternoon the following committees were appointed by Chairman Allison: Finance—Messrs. Lowenthal, Freeman, Jaudin and Cahn. Music—Messrs. Holloway, Rowley and Lowenstein. A. D. Cutter was elected grand marshal. There are evidences that more than 1500 men will parade. The metal and iron workers had a meet- ing at the Board of Trade yesterday after- noon. It was reportea that 1348 names have already been signed to the lists and that 1500 will march. The harness men will join with the metal-workers. Fifteen hundred badges and an equal number of chrysanthemums, canes and hats will be provided, and the First Regiment band will be engaged. Now that rates have been secured there 1s every evidence that there will be a large attendance from Santa Cruz. The Re- publicans there were only waitling fora rate before promising a large delegation. All members of the fraternal insurance orders who are interested in the election of McKinley will meet at the Alcazar building to-morrow evening to make ar- rangements to participate in the day parade on Saturday, October 31. It is ex- vected that a large number of fraternal men from the different organizations will be present. The leading officers of the Order of Chosen Friends, the American Legzion of Honor and Knights of Honor have already | signified their intention to be present. The temporaiy committee consists of: C. 0. Baurton. grand sccretary American Legion of Honor; P. L. Archibald, grand dictator of Kmights eof Honor, and M. Boehm, grand councilor Order of Chosen Friends. LN S, “Coma One! Come All!” All Afro-American citizens are cordially invited in dodgers which have been widely circulated over the streets to meet at Cali- fornia Hall next Saturday at 12:30 p. a. to perfect arrangements for joining the grand Republican parade. The Women’s League will be in carriages. The league will have its own marshal, appointed by the grand marshal, and a band and drum corps. o T DE Oaklanders Will Assist. OAKLAND, Cax., Oct. 27.—It is esti- mated that fuily 2000 Republicans from this side of the bay will take part in the great daylight demonstration to be held in San Francisco Saturday. The Repnb- lican Alliance and the Young Men’s Re- publican League will be out in force in their bright uniforms and will make a neat appearance. AL San Rafael Is Astir. SAN RAFAEL, Cax., Oct. 27.—A move- ment has been started to secure a half holiday Saturday, business houses closing from 12 to 6 o’clock. TI'he desire to attend the great daylight McKinley parade being so nearly universal there is little doubt that it will carry, and this county will realize its estimated delegation of at least 500. CORUONER DIFFER. POLICE AND There Is Yet Mystery Conmected With the Death of Andrus. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 27.—But little has been done in the way of clearing up the mystery surrounding the death of H. J. Andrus of Yonkers on Wednesday last. Coroner Mills continues to say that he has some information as to the persoas con- nected with what he believes to have been a murder, but the Corouer and police are in_sccord neither in theory nor in action. 8o far as can Le leained the only step taken in regard to the Andrus affair was an examination of the safe deposit vault of the Yonkers National Bank, in which the will of the dead man was supposed to placed. This examination showed that there was no will in the vaalt nor anything else of any importance. The family say that the will may be in one of the safes of the office of the Arling- ton Chemical Company, of which Andrus was secretary, and the safes will be opened to-day. The inquest was to have been held yesterday, but it was postponed until more definite information can be secured by the authorities. PRINCE LOUIS OF SAVOY. Made a Sociat Lion in Brotherly Lore PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 27.—Prince Louis of Savoy, who has been the recipi- ent of much social attention since his ar- rival here on the Italian cruiser Cristofero Colombo, and who returned last evening from his two days’ trip to Niagara Falls, was to-day driven to the Country Club by Colonel E. D. Morell on a tally-ho. There were a number of prominent per- sons in the party, including ex-Minister to Italy Potter and a number of ladies. This evening Mr, and Mrs. A. J. Drexel gave a dinner in Prince Louis’ honor and & dance followed on board Colonel Drex- el’s yacht, the Margarita, The Prince was also the guest of honor to-night at a ban- quet given bv the local Italian societies at the Hotel Walton, and which was pre- ceded by a'promenade concert at Horti- cultural Hall. e BURGLAR UNDER THE BED. After Seeking the Man for Ten Xears a Woman Is Kewarded. PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 27.—All things come to those who wait, and such was the experience of Mrs. Bernard Har- kins, 7722 Woodlawn avenue, last night. It has been Mrs. Harkins’ custom every night for the last ten years before retiring to look under the bel. Last night she looked under the same as usual, and uttered a scream of frignt, for the soles of & man’s shoes were clearly to be seen. He was there, for sure, and her ten years of waiting were patiently rewarded. Mrs. Harking’ screams brought her hus- band and he 'pulled the would-be house- breaker from under the bed. Mrs. Har- kins yeiled “Police!” and her husband heid the burglar until the police arrived. The captured man proved to be Elmer Elmerdine, a burglar who has a long rec- ord in criminal annals. o Found Dead Near Red Bluff. RED BLUFF, CaL., Oct. 27.—The body of D. B. Rowland was found by the road- side about five miles south of Ked Binff this morning. He wasin town yest-rday in apparently good health and started home toward evening facing a rain and wind storm. There werée ro bruises of any kind on the body and the supposition that he must have had some affliction of the heart, which, combined with the exposure, caused hie death. No trace of his wagon could be found, but the mules he was driving were found near by. Rowland was 47 years old and a native of Washing- ton. He leaves a family. e — Jupce RoperT FERRAL won the respect of everybody as Superior Judge. He is popular with all classes and wiil be re- gug&ed to the bench. His yoting number is 50. - the City of LS ANGELES GREETS MAINE'S FAVORITE SON Continued from First Page tain the credit of this Nation unimpaired, it was supplied in this gathering of true and tried voters. The day opened with rain and a cold wind, which continued up to noon, and the mettle of the gathered thousands was indicated when it was given out from headquarters of commanders and leaders that “We shall march anyway, rein or shine.” - But just as Mr. Reed’s train reached La Grande station the clouds suddenly divided and rolling mountainward let through the gladsome sunlight., There was no rain in the afternoon. The parade consisted of eight distinct diyisions. Amid the tremendous throngs the Americus Uniformed Club of Pasadena deserves spacial mention. Its banners, gorgeous white uniforms and flags were a splendid spectacle of the day. A significant feature of the outpouring to-day was the palpable and generally re- marked fact that those in line were of the best and most thrifty American citizens and nearly ail of them voters. The Lankersheim delegation carried red, white and blue pampas plumes and easily stood second in the matter of decorationsamong the country clubs. The Soldiers’ Home sent over 300 veterans. Many were scarcely able to walk, but they did their best and added their mite to the enthusi- asm. The speaker came in for a great deal of cheering atl along the route, and by the frequent outbursts of cheering it was plain that Congressman McLachlan was as popular as ever. The ladies in tally-hos won the admira- tion of the people who lined the side- walks., They received the plaudits with that modesty so becoming to Southern Californian ladies. The line of march was from the plaza south on Main street to Spring, thence to Seventh, east on the laiter strest to Ath- letic Park. The first division was a large one, composed as it was of several hundred veterans of the late war, the Citizens’ Sound-money Club, wholesale and retail merchants and their employes, with la- dies, foilowed in tally-hos. The guest of the day was in the position assigned him in the first division, in a carriage drawn by four splendid horses, having for his escort the members of the Republican committee and as a special escort mem- bers of the Pine Tree State Association. Continual cheers greeted the distinguished statesman, and he smilingly responded. In the carriase with Mr. Reed were Con- gressman MecLachlan, Dr. G. W. Cochran and George H. Stewart. The carriage was beautifuily decorated with yellow chrys- anthemums. The second division was one of the longest 1n the parade. It was madeup en- tirely of country delegations. They came from every point within a radius of 100 miles. In the third division the Los Angeles Military band was in the lead. Then came the Young Men’s League, Young Men's Sound-money League, the McKinley Club, the Colorea McKinley Club and pupils from the High School. The fourth division was where Pasadena people displayed themselves. All the Re- publican clubs of that city were repre- sented by full membership. They were headed by their own .band, and to keep them company and as a continual in- spiration a number of young ladies in tally-hos paraded with them. 3 In the nfth division were assembled hun- dreds of German-Americans, who will vote on November 3 as they cheered to-day. They made a fine appearance. Following them came quite an army of colored men composing the McKinley Club of the Golden West. The country was again very conspicuous in the sixth division. There were clubs from Ventura, Orange, Alhambra, Mon- rovia, Duarte, Sierra Madre, Long Beach, Lankersheim, San Gabriel, North Ontario, Covinia, Hyde Park, Inglewood, Wil- mington, Redondo, Cahuenga, Redlands, El Monte, Santa Monic, Glendale, Whit- tier and other places. In the seventh division were the Sonth- ern Pacific employes, sound-money clubs, the Railroad Men’s Sound-money Club and the Workingmen’s Sound-money Club. The railroad men numbered 700. They were the most enthusiastic of the marchers. The eighth division was made up of all classes of citizens who favor sound money, an honest dollar and a chance to earn it. sl sy NEEDS OF THE NATION. Speaker’ Reed’s /ppeal for Honest Currency and Protec~ tion to Industries, LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct. 27.—No man could estimate the thousands who thronged into Athletic Park to hear Mr. Reed’s speech. A number of newspaper men who have seen and estimated vast standing multitudes pronounced this one the largest they ever saw. None of them placed the figures below 40,000, while some said 50,000. Of course, but a modicum of these could hear the speaker, and this con- stituted the greatest and saddest disap- an ‘pointment of the day. Many thousands left the grounas when they realized that not one word could be understood at their distance. from the speauker. The grand stand and bleachers were crowded by ladies wio could not catch a single word, partly owing to a brisk west wind, which plew all the afternoon. ‘When Mr. Reed entered a great cheer went up and thousands of people waved flags. On the speaker’s stand were mem- bers of the Supreme Court, Hon. Thomas Fitch, Congressman J. F. Aldrica and wife of Chicago, Miss Reed, ex-Governor Pa- checo and other prominent citizens. George Stewart, president of the Busi- ness Men's Sound Money Olub, called the vast throng to order and briefly introduced Hon. James McLachlan, who, he said, had been in Congress with Mr. Reed, and whom the people were going to send back to Congress, Mr. McLachlan said the people had turned out not to hear him, but to hear one of the greatest men in the United States, who had come across the continent for the express purpose of speak- ing to the people of the coast. He then introduced Mr. Reed. The cheering as Reed arose lasted for fully five minutes. Speaker Reed said in purt: For the first time in my life I find myself facing a multitude so great that it seems to mean absolute hopeless task to attempt to reach one-half of them. Your presence here to-day is much greater speech than I can make. Itshows your determination. Itshows that the cause of righteousness has found a foothold on the Pacific Coast. ¢ California, alone and of itself, is a great em- pire. I told the people of New York eight years ago that if their State were three times embroidered on the map of California you could then put Pennsylvania there also, and then have room for other States. Butgreat as California is in its surface area it is greater still in its resources, in its natural wealth—s wealth of almost uncounted millions, Never- theless, you labor under some disadvantages. You are separated from the great markets of the world by the greatocean on one side, which bridges the way from & population which you have no desire to become acquaint- ed with. You are separated on the other sido by the thousands of miles of Wnat used to be called a desert, but which I refuse to believe will always remain a desert. At presentyou are shut off from your market. You ought to be willing and anxious enongh’ that its dis- tance shouid be no obstacle. On the issues of the present campaign, whether McKinley is elected or not, I don’t mean to dwell. That is for you to consider among yourselves. There is another point upon which I wish to speak. Foronce in my life I had an opportunity to say words of in- terest, perhaps, and I seized upon the oppor- tunity to say them in Maine after the Maine election. The result of that election showed that there is great common sense in the northeastern corner of the United States of America, and I ¢an see by this assemblage that there is as great common sease in the South- ‘west. We have been dallying with the silver ques- tion for years, but we have now a feld for warm discussion, and it is astonishing to see how little there is in it. Ihardly kuow how to broach it. I hardly know how to discuss it, unless I discuss it here in California as Idid in Maine, upon the basis of common sense. This world is governed not by superior men, but by the common sense of the average citi- zen of the United States, and unless I can pre- sent ‘arguments which will be satisfactory to him I talk in vain. Money is a transferer of value, just the same as o hay rake is a transferer of hay. You would not expect to increase the hay by add- ing more hay rakes. Let us see what the fact is. In 1878 we went to work and bought $2,000,000 worth of silver a month under the Blandlaw. Then,in 1890 we bought 4,500,000 ounces of silver. That is about all we maae in America. What was the result? Why, there was a tremendous increase in demand. Then what was the result—higher piice? Why, no; it went right down, just as if it had been lead instead of silver. Now, I want to ask you if coining the whole American product, or nearly the whole, has resulted inlowering the price of silver, what will coining the rest of the silver in the world do? Isn’t thatsimple arithmetic? Well, don’t let us bave any more weak subterfuges in connection Wwith this. Prove something or quit the field. Ithink that when we consider all questions connected with the currency we had better consider them from & point of view of our not being an exception to the natural laws. I think we had better make upour minds that water will run down hill in the United States, and that the attraction of gravitation, in order to be withstood, has to be withstood by an awful power in the opposite direction. [Laugh- ter and applause.] In other words no mira- cles will be performed for us. Now, it is proposed to change ihe currency of this country; not to change it a little, but to change it seriously and radically. Of course itis claimed that this change is to be for the country’s benefit. But singularly enough the gentlemen who are advocating the change never condescend to show us how it is going to benefit the country. They simply receive us with the statement that they believe so and so will happen. Now, asIsaid before, ‘‘we be- lieve” is a very good foundation for the ora- tor. It does very well where you are not going to contest it until you come to the next world. [Laughter and spplause.] Butin the world of business “we believe” is worth nothing. But_they say that the farmer will getim- mediate relief by the free coinage of silver. Let us see. Are there any among us who wishes to discharge his indebtedness with 50- cent dollars? In the first place such a man, even upon Democratic theory, cannot be quite honest who wants to pay his debts at 50 cents on the dollar because of a depreciation whicn they claim for silver since that fated year 18737 All they claim for it is a drop of & cents. They say that that came in twenty years—twenty-one years, to be exact. That is what they say. Well, now, if there1sa man here whose debts run back to that time I wonld nke to see him. I think he has been lucky and has the confidence of the commu- nity. [Applause and laughter.] On an aver- age there fs no debt that” is four years{old. Are you going to settle with your creditor'and pay him one quarter, take one quarter of the depreciation, or are you going to take the whole? If you are going to take the whole you are not honest. Whether you are honest or not, if youdo that sort of thing you will getinto trouble. In this world as a whole the privilege of bor- rowing is of more consequence than there- pudiation of debts, even if you can do it hon- estly. If the farmér gets rid of one-half of his debts he will still have the other half to struggle with, and he is going to struggle with it in & world that does not believe much in him. Inother words, the one-half that he did not pay comes out of somebody, spoils some- ‘body’s business and spoils the business of the whole community, as I will point out to you in a few moments—absolutely spoils it, and he has got to pay that under a disadvantage that will make him wish he had & good, prosperous country and was going to pay the whole. I say that it does not pay to do this thing because the power of borrowing is of the ut- most importance. You know there there is a vast difference between dreamland and the world of fact. In dreamland the creditor is & rich man and every debtor is a poor man. The time was when a debt used to represent how far behind a man had got in the world. To-day it repre- sents his belief in the fature. Some of our ablest and strongest men are the men who in the time of prosperity carry the biggest load of debt. Every big institution in the country isin debt, and when it is the most prosperous it is in debt the most. Takea great company that Iknow of. In times of prosperity it borrows $5.000,000 or $10,000,000. In times ot ad- versity it lends money to other people. If you will think & moment you will see that there is not any enterprise upon which civilization is dependent that isnot dependedt on the borrow- ing power. What does the borrowing power depend on? It depends on the confidence and honesty of the people at large. A disbonest community cannot borrow money. It is not every man who has money who will lend it, notwithstand- ing the statements of some people to the con- trary. Now, let us put ihat to & plain test. Suppose there were in this audience some gentlemen who have $10—probably several thousand. Now,1want to ask each one of these gen- tlemen: If a man ceme to you and told you he wanted to borrow that $10 and said frankly be was only going to pay you $5 back, would you let nim have the money, or would you let it lie idle? But suppose you thought you would like to make a good turn there, what would you do? The first thing would be to get 50 per cent for risk, and then you wou'd want about 10 per cent more for incidentals and you would give him $4 and take his note for $10. As a matter of fact, of course, you would not lena it Now, if you will not loan & man $10, do you suppose any man with $100 any less sense than you have? Don’t you sujpose that a for- ‘eigner knows as much about that as you do? Here is & plain question: Here is a great country, rich, but not with 10 per cent of the riches absolutely necessary to develop the re- sources in sight, but undeveloped; here is a country that not only wanis its own money, but Wknts the money of everybody eise on the face of the earth, and we propose to borrow money of the people of this country and bor- row the money of people of other countries, with the distinct understanding that we will borrow it upon a gold basis, ang if we can possibly do it, will repay it on a silver basis. Do you think we can get it? If we won’t get it &re We not acting like a lot of foolish persons? Our busine:s prosperity 1s depending on our action, and here we are dallying with this question. We are not going to dally with it in the East, are you here? Can you concefve any advantage that it would be to you as a community to have a barrel of flour worth §5 in our present money become worth $10 in money ounly half as valu- able! Oh, but you say that ‘‘we believe that silver wil! appreciate and bacome just like gold.” I wish to remark if that isso the poor farmer whose debts are going 10 be paid is go- ing to be lost somewhere in this shuffle. But 1 leave him to take care of himself and say ? response to the statement of these gentlemen ‘who “believe” that the facts of human history are against their belief. Why, I could even cite China and Japan sand that republic of Mexico, which some seem to think deserves imitating—I could even cite them to show the folly of their proposition, but T prefer to con- tinue citation of the history of the United States, whieh is good enough for me. *“Why,” they say, “don’t you recognize the great law of supoly and demand? When there is & demand how can prices help going up?'’ Temporarily, yes. But there isanother great law of demand and supply which is more im- perious still, and that is that whenever, there is a big demand there is always a big supply following that and that the big supply is al- ‘ways sold at a less profit. Iam going to say one word more. Gentle- men of the West, I see by your attitude, by this great audience and by everything 1 have heard since I came here that you are going to allow us1n the Eest to agree with you on the subject of finance. If there is any superiority of common-sense you have it in the West rather than tne East. That it is not because you are the better men: it is because you are in close contact with the development with this country and you are obliged to be more sensible, and you are fighting the enemy hand to hand. Idon’t pretend to be a prophet; I can ounly judge the future by the past. Mr. McKinley is going to represent you. Let him be elected by a good healthy majority in a good splendid Californian way. ¥ In addition to the afternoon parade and gathering, another great Republican meeting dssembled this evening at Hazard’s Pavilion. This large ball was crowded in every nook, corner and cranny. There were no less than 7000 people at the meeting. The speakers were Mr. Reed and Hon. Thomas Fitch, the “silver- tongued orator.”” The Maine statesman’s time was limited, so he spoke only a few minutes, recounting his astonishment at seeing the tremendous crowd of the after- noon and the general enthusiasm, which hé pronounces beyond anything he ever witnessed. This, the speaker said, could mean but one -thing, and that was that California would go for McKinley and Hobart by a stupendous majorit; Speaker Reed said in a conversation this evening that the throng of the afternoon at Athletic Park was the largest he ever attempted to address in his life. This bas great significance when it is remembered that M:. Reed has been in public life for thirty years and made bun- dreds of speecnes, many of them of his- toric and international interest. The dis- tinguished guest left for the north on the regular San Francisco train at9 p. M., amid a shower of plaudits and the best wishesof thousands of Southern Calhifornians. Mr. Reed and party were accompanied north by the San Franciseo reception com- mittee. Mr. Reed is billed to speak at Stockton to-morrow evening. Following Reed’s address at the pavil- ion came one of Fitch’s soul-stirring speeches. Hespoke for more than an hour on the 1ssues of the campaign, showing in true Tom Fitch style the faliacies and va- garies of the Bryanites. It wasa terrific arraignment of the calamity-howling ele- ment in society—of the Tillmans, the Alt- gelds and the Cators. ML ST PRIDE OF PASADENA. The Americus Uniformed Club Pro- nounced California’s Best Cam=- paign Organization. PASADENA, CaL., Oct. 27.—The Ameri- cus Club of this city, which was prom- inent in the parade at Los Angeles to-day, is said by Senator Perkins and others equally good judges to be the crack cam- paign ciub of the State. The club was organized on August 6 with a member- ship of forty-five young men, and the list kept climbing 1n numbers until a grand total of 180 uniformed members has been reached. Even the most sanguine of its organizers did not at first expect more than 100 marehers, considering the fact that Pasadena has but 2330 voters, and the. number of young men is exceptionally fow in proportion to the size of the town. ‘Were the list still open for new members it is probable that the club would have a total of 300 or 400 men. After the ciub was fairly started two nights a week were spent in drilling under the efficient supervision of Captain N. 8. Bangham of the National Guard of California, and each member entered into the work with aspint and zest that made it but natural that the club should acquire such a degree of skill and reputation as entitles it to be consid- ered the best drilled and most attractive looking organization in the State. One important fact in regard to this club is that its members are of the very best class, the greater portion of them be- ing first voters.

AWFUL TRIPLE MURDER Mrs. Jessie Winger and Two Babies Are Most Brutally Butchered. The Woman’s Sku!l Battered anl the Throats of the Children Are Cut. RICHMOND, Mo., Oct. 27.—The com- munity is shocked by the discovery to- day of 2 frightful triple murder. The perpetrator of the crime is still at large and his identity is concealed, but indig- nant neighbors have their suspicions and it will not be long before the triple mur- derer is caught. The murderous acts were committed some time last night. Mrs. Jessie Win- ver, a respectable hard-working woman, and her two babies, aged two and one years, .were killed. The woman’s skull was battered in and the top of her head cut off. She had apparently made a fight for her life and had been beaten down by the murderer. The throats of the two little children were cut and they lay ina pool of blood. . A pathetic feature of the murder was the presence of a little deaf and dumb child of Mrs. Winner by another mar- riage. The litile one is unable to tell any- thing about the crime. It has not been educated at all and is not able to write and can barely tell what its simplest wants are. So far the citizens have not been able to discover any definite clew to the mur- derer. He very carefully l2ft no traces be- hind him. One thing is settled, however, and that is the fact that the murders were not committed for the purpose of robbery. There is every indication that revenge was the motive for the crime. The nearest neighbors heard no signs of the struggie which must have occurred when the woman was killed. She always was a very quiet little woman and never meddled with any one else or received many callers. She had quite a number of friends in the neighborhood. The veculiar atrocity of the erime has made the people here very angry, and there is strong talk of lyiching the mur- derer when he is caught. Padtiicasl s SAN JOSE'S ACTIVE STUDENTS.
