10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1. 1896. PRINCE BISMARCK'S | DOUBLE DEALING Much Fuss Being Made in Europe Over the Recent Disclosure. It Causes Austria to Look With Suspicion Upon Her Ger- man Cousin. NEW ALLIANCES ARE IN ORDER. Bat the Scandal Has Created a Much Warmer Feeling For England by the Fatherland. [Copyright 1896, by the New York Times.} LONDON, Exg., Oct. 31.—Nothing could more forcibly illustrate the anxious and even frightened state the nations of Europe are in than the prodigicus fufs which has been made this week, and is still making, over Bismarck’s disclosure that from 1884 to 1290 he was dealing with Russia behind the backs of his pariners in the triple alliance. I call this a disclosure because that name is given toit everywhere, but hardly anything about it is new. Its substance was printed in my *Young Emperor” book (secona edition) in 1892, and was perfectly well known at the time for the simyle reason that Bismarck was engaged in telling it to everybody who would listen. So much has happened bowever, that it had been forgotten, and now when Bismarck has agsin got his bouting fit on and bawls it from the housetops once more everybody is par- alyzed with amazement. The excitement about this so-called revelation is, however, purely journalistic. The diplomats and foreign offices have known all about it for years, and they long ago discounted its-importance. Aus- tria at the moment net very warmly disposed toward ber German ally, but this reiterated proof of jBismarck’s falseness has littie 10 do with that fact. No Aus- trian statesman doubts that Emperor Wil- liam, since be threw Bismarck out of office in 1890, has behaved with scrupulous honor toward his allies, so far as double dealing with hostile powers is_concerned. The trouble now worrying Vienna and Rome does not go back to Bismarck and the eighties, but belongs very much to the present. Little by little a new situation in Europe has grown up in which the German Empire stands to lose a great deal, if not indeed everything, and has noshing to offer her aliies that tbey can- not more easiy obtain for themseives. Italy has perceived for some time and not without hints trom London. It may be guessed that the German friendship for which she pays such an enormous price is really of more harm than good to her. Now it is apparent that Austria is ask- ing herself if thisis not truein her case,too, and the restatement of Bismarck’s treach- ery comes to inflame Austrian popuiar opinion in an anti-German direction just at a moment when such an expression of public feeling provides the Austrian for- eizn office with an excuse in case it de- cides that it wants one for reconsidering its whole policy. If any other German than Bismarck had done such a thing as this at such a time he would have been arrested and interned in a foriress over night. Unbappily, Bismarck cannot be silenced by any means summary or other. There is a certain compensation, however, in the fact that Germans of all classes are shamed and disgusted by this particular performance of his and are ied to think better of Engiand than thev did, merely because he declares that his one object is to induce Germans to regard England as their sole enemy. Not only have the German press ceased their tacks on [England, but we hear of a sudden and excessive, almost painful, affability shown by German offi- cials toward the British representatives at Berlin, This is what might have been predicted at any time in the past month. Wilham’s anti-English experiment was 1oredooined to disaster. ngland had always more cards to play than he could have and his efforts to isolate her or rather to terrify her by the menace of iso- lation have ended in his facing the likeli- hood of a concert of the powers against bimself. M. Hanotaux is to make a speech in the French Chamber the first of next week on the Eastern question, instead of post- poning it, as it was at first understood he would do. This raises the presumption that he has something weighty to say, but expectation may easily b: disap- pointed. Itis not difficult to talk by the hour on this subject, and still nocto say anything, as M. Hanotaux himself has shown before now. It is still suspected here, however, that the basis for an sa- glo-Franco-Russian arrangement has been found, and that, very possibly, England’s position in Egypt is” going to be regulur- at- ize! by inviting France to occupy Morccco. Since that possibility was mooted in these dispatches a week ago, numerous hints to the same effect have been dropped in semi-official quar- ters both here and abroad, and the sugges- tion is at least as well worth keeping in mind as anything the past fortnight has evolved. The revelation that General Gal- lienne’s new regime in Madagascar is to mean martial law in the most comprehen- sive form makes thoughtful Frenchmen more nervous than ever about the whole adventure in that island. The drumhead conviction and execution of two leadin, Hovas whom General Laroche na specially invited to assist the French in restoring tranquility is said to have amazed and depressed the European resi- dents there, and it certainly raises appre- hensions in France that Madagascar will turn out to be a bloody and ruinousin- cumbrance. Challemel Lacour possessed such an extraordinary capacity for personal un- happiness that it long since became his vrincipal claim to distinction in tne eyes of the French public, and allusions to it could not even be kept out of the speeches made at his grave yesterday. hen a youth he was convicted of felony, and though this really created influential sym- pathy for the son splendid academic career, be always be- lieved that prople were thinking of noth- ing else. hen he rose in mbetta’s wake to political eminence his soured tem- per and surly manners quite neutralized the value of his notable intellect. He was too gifted to be denied official advance- ment, but people hated him the more as he progressed, and he returned the feeling with increasing virulence to the end. He was bonest, and he died, as he was born, in poverty. The republic will enshrine his memoxzu that of a Spartan Demo- crat, but his hatred of the church was about the only emotion he held in com- mon with the radicalism in later years, Cardinal Hoheniohe was a striking con- trast to Challemel-Lacour, though he grew in later life to be an extreme Liberal, and his sudden death is a knockdown blow to the progressive wing of the Sacred Colleg:. Hohenlohe wou!d not, of course, have been its candidate for the Papal suc- cession, but both socially and pol itically he was by far its most powerful supporier in Rome. He never dissembled his desire to have the Vatican come 10 terms with since, | and made possible his | 8ccused of making ‘‘traitorous the Quirinal, by abandoning its claim to temporal sovereignty, and after his brother succeeded Caprivi at Berlin this tude of his became so important as to Papal court much anxietyr. His death leaves only six Cardinals created by Pius IX. The triumph of the Liberals in the Hun- garian elections is far more sweeping than the most sanguine had expected. The Clerical party, which made its fizht on the civil marriage laws, lost heavily through- out the Magyar districts, and its anti- Semitic annex. composed of the men called Clerical-Kossuihists, is practically wiped out of existence, having lost forty seats _out of forty-seven. Although the real Kossuthists about hotd their own they are now hardly distinguishable from other Liberals, and it may be said of the election as a whole that it binds Hungary and Austria more closely and satifactorily than has been the case since 1867. 0Oddly enough a change in just the re- verse direction is going on in Lower Aus- tria, where the recent elections to the Diet amone the fourth-class electors have ziven all that class seats except one to the Clerical and anti-Semitic combination. The elevation of Dr. Temple to the Archbishopric of Canterbury has literally pleased xo one. It is quite conceivable that he may create a big reputation ior himselfin his new piace, for Dr. Temple is a man of unusual energy, with rude strength of character; but these qualilies he has heretofore employed very scien- tifically to make personal enemies in il quarters. Even more than his unpopular individuality his advancea age appeals as a grievance to the clergy, for promotion to and inside the hierarchy is tediously slow as it is, and it only septuagenarians are to get plums like this one at Canterbury the clergymen feel that there is nothing left to live for. No secret is made of the fact that Dr. Temple was chosen principally with a view to the education fight which Lord Salisbury is intent on precipitating again when Parliament meets. The Pre- mier is a splendid combatant, and it is rather naivelv assumed that his opposi- tion to the rate-paid system, which was the solitary point of difference between him and the Government last spring, will somehow evaporate during the winter. No violent injustice will be done him by the assumption, because in the past fif- teen years he has abandoned, one by one, practically every opinion he formerly held. 1n one respect alone does Lord Salis- bury seem likely to remain unchanged to the'end. He has been for years the most influential advocate of total abstinence in England and his speeches this week show 1that on this point at least he will stand That he will be able to secure any legislation in the direction of en- forced temperance, let alone of prohibi- tion, is, however, entirely unlikely. Several members of the present Govern- ment are personally friendly to the tem- perance cause, but the Tory party as a of such an idea as attacking the brewers and tied-house interests. e The stories that the Queen has invited take part in celebrating the sixtieth year of her reign are ridiculously false. No | crowned heads will be asked to come here, put the various dynasties are to be repre- sented, as in 1887, by princely relatives of the sovereigns. It rumored that the Emperor of Austria is coming to Engiand in the spring for a little visit, but he will not be present at the jubilee ceremonies. It 1s intended, 1 hear, to make a special feature of the presence of a great number ing suits, 1897 being the twentieth anni- versary of the-'assumption by the Queen of the additional title of Empress of India. The prevalent understanding is that St. { Paul will be the center of ceremonial this time, as Westminister was ten years ago. Inasmuch as honors are likely to flow with exceptional freedom there is un- usual strife all over the country for the office of Mayor. For this reason not so many peers will be Mayors next year as at present. The Lords will have to step aside for ambitious commoners. Loud complaints are made that the Tories in 1nany towns show an inclination to ignore the time-honored rules of non-partisan ro- tation, using their majorities to set aside Liberals wio naturaily would come into office and thrusting their own party work- ers ahead instead. Horace Darwin, son of the great Darwin, makes his debut in Bublic life s Mayor of Cambridge. Since Dillon’s mock conven- tion in Dublin there has been an absolute Iull in lrish politics. This is quite the best thing that could have happened. It is really disheartening, however, 1o find & good man like Archbishop Walsh of To- ronto breaking in upon the beneficent hush with such as that reported by cable. He did not attend the convention himself, and it is evident that he has_been misled as to its character and spirit_and as to the attitude of the Irish people toward it. Especially does the Archbishop misapprehend alto- %alher the position of Healy and his riends toward the Parliamentary party. Itis wholly false to'say that they broke a pledge or assailed their colleagues with calumny. They merely declined to be parties to the ruin of Ireland’s cause by a little gang of incompetent and dishonest plotters who got hoid of the party treas- ury and openly used its funds to fatten their own heeiers and to drive respectable and intelligent men cut of Irish politics. The rule of this crew, if it were to be per- manent, would put Ireland back to some- thing worse than even the Sadlier-Keogh period, but there is considerable hope that 1t will not last much longer. If Ireland were left to itself relief from this swindling clique would be even now in sight; but 1t is precisely the well-meaning people at a distance, lixe the Archbishop of Toronto, who in their ignorance take sides and raise money for the corruption fund of bosses in Dublin, and so perpetuate the worst evils agrinst which their country- men at home are struggling. Both in England and on the Continent we are to hear a good deal that is unpleas- ant this winter about the cost of bread. The recent advance in the price of wheat has been seized upon by bakers every- where as warrant for an advance amount- ing to a cent on the four-pound loaf, and they let it be understooa that a furtner rise is not improbable if waeat continues to go up. Unfortunately it cannot be re- membered that when wheat began to drop five years ago the bakers put down the price of their loaves in proportion, and there is naturally a lot of bitter talk about the rapacity of middiemen. This will not grow less as winter comes on. Every European country, including England, has administrative machinery for regulat- ing the size of loaves. To thisa provi- sion about the price of them could be fixed witbout much difficuity, and it is not improbable that a movement to have this done will obtain a good deal of momen- tum before spring comes. Harorp FrEDERIC. COMMENT 1IN GERMANY, Newspapers Talk Freely About Bis- marck’s Peculiar Deplomacy. BERLIN, GErMANY, Oct. 31.—The Ham- burger Nachrichen’s reply to the press attacks made upon that paper, which is revela- tions” in having disclosed the existence of the Russo-Germany neutrality treaty during the period extending from 1834 to 1890, has not in the slightest degree paci- fied Prince Bismarck’s assailants, nor has it stitled the clamor that the Government take decisive action to suppress the revela- tions. The Nachrichten, the personal organ of Prince Bismarck, declares that the Rasso-German agreement was not a strict siate secret, but was merely a part of history, implying no disloyalty to the Dreibund on the part of Germany, but per- mitting Austria to remain neutral in the event of a French attack upon Germany. The Nachrichten, however, avoids ex- planation of what is generally demanded by the public, and that is to know the reason why the author of the disclosures seized the opportunity at the present juncture to make them. The Swaebische Merkur suggests as a reason that new uegotiations aiming at a restoration of an entente betweern §lulsh and Germany having been opened, Prince Bismurck whole would revolt at the mere whisper | or is going 1o invite all the rulers in the | world to visit London next summer and | of Indian rajabs and princes with impos- | thought the time opportune to assist their progress even at the risk of divergence from the revelations established and maintained by the Dreibund. The Leipsic Tageblatt, a Bismarckian organ, discussing the question, holds that the disclosures have been like flashes of lightning, showing the road which Ger- many must follow through the darkness. An attempt fs also being made in certain quarters to defend Prince Bismarck per- sonally against the ciarges of “traitorous revelations,” which have been brought against the ex-Chancellor, by saddling the responsibility for tbe disclosures upon his son, Count Herbert Bismarck, or Count Holstein, an old agent of Prince Bis- marck, but this notion is not tenable. If anybody but Prince Bismarck him- sell could have been held responsible the Government would have dealt with him in a summary manner without delay. There seems now to be no doubt that the fall of Prince Bismarck was associated with the Emperor’s denunciation of l.h'e Russo-German treaty and his Majesty's appointment of Count Caprivi as Imperial Chancellor followed. Some of the Berlin newspapers are very outspoken in their comments upon the affair. The Boersen Courier says: “The old malcontent statesman seeks to destroy his own work and ruin the empire which he assisted to build up.” The Cologne Gazette says: *‘The heart of Germany has been deeply afflicted by the Prince in his having accorded the con- fidence of the people which was reposed in him to his entourage, who have reck- lessly despoiled his name and prestige to excite and assist the enemies of his coun- try.” SEEKING 10 (CONOMIZE Proposed Exchange of Locations Between Two California Institutions. Waiittier Reform Schco' and Eldridge Homs Inmatss to B: Trans- ferred. PETALUMA, CaL., Oct. 3L.—There is at present a proposition afoot, urged es- pecially by the board of directors of the reform school at Whittier, and sanctioned by Governor Buad, for the exchange of locations between the W hittier school and the Home for Feeble-minded Children at Eldridge, Sonoma County. The Governor approves of the plan on the score of econ- omy, as the directors of Whittier affirm that they with only 160 acres are unable to keep tue boys employed profitably, while on the other hand the home at Eld- ridge possesses 1700 acres of arable land,and but comparatively few of the boys have sufficient intellect to work to any advan- | taze. | Mrs. Mitchell of the Whittier institate visited the Eldridge Home last Wednes- | day, made a thorough investigation of the buildings and surroundings and was greatly pleased with all she saw and re- vorted favorably on the hoped-for change. Dr. Osborne, physician and superintend- jent of the Eldridge Home, expresses him- self greatlyin favor of the projectand | does not doubt its accomplishment. | Tothe management at Eldridge, how- | ever, the groposed removal was a great | surprise, though the change will, it is con- | sidered, prove of great benefit to the | weakly and invalid children now at the | Feeble-minded Institute, as the climate of | Whittier is far milder than that of | Eidridge. Hon. John R. Price, M. A. Nourse and | other officers of the Board of Public Works have almost completed a survey for the establishment of an electric plant to be run by a force of water equal to 150 horsepower and sufficient to supply light and run all the necessary machinery (: the institution. In this instance, at least, the reform school establishment will be the gainer, as at present at Whittier all fuel has to be bought to run the machinery. In point of numbers the inmates at | Eldridge far exceed those at Whittier, so | that, should the change be made, addi- tional buildings would be required at the | latter place before the removal could be accomplished. The matter will be definitely settled by the next Legislature, and without doubt the rem¢val will be made. The present idea of the reform school management is to place all the girls now at Whittier at | the Tone school, while all the boys at Ione | will be placed at Eldridge, which change will be a decided improvement, 5 S 84N JOSE ENIERPRISE.

SANTA BARBARA, CaL, Oct. 31.— Suit was brought in the Superior Court of this county to-day by Kate M. Clark, Frances Merchant and Joseph Merchant against the Southern Pacific Railroad Company to recover $10,000 damages for the alleged negligence of the company’s employes, "esulting in the death of plain- tiff’s jather. On December 21, 1895, Mr. Merchant, a gentleman past 80, while crossing the track in the vicinity of Chapala-street station was run down by an engine.

SANTA BARBARA, CaL., Oct. 3L—At Burton Mound last night two women made a plucky effort to capture a night warauder. Early in the evening Mrs, Menderson discovered a man crawling through the bushes and set a dog upon bim, when he scurried down the hill. | Later Mrs, Coffin, an attendant at the | baths, saw the same man stalking about, {and es the dog continued growling she | took two shots at the intruder. As neither blood nor corpse were to be found this morning they evidently missed their mark. — Hunting New Mexico Outlaws. SANTA FE, N. M., Oct. 3L — United States Marshal E. L.

Confident That California Will Give McKinley a Large Majority. VAGARIES OF THE BRYANITES. They Created a False Issue to Catch the Support of the Dis- contents. CHICO, CaL., Oct. 3L—The last and greatest Republican gun of the campaign in Butte County was fired here this evening, and the result was most effective. Some weeks ago Coionel T. V. Eddy was billed to speak in Chico. Unfortunately his voice failed him and he was unable to fulfill his engagement at that time, but he came this evening and was accorded a welcome reception. The Town Hall was crowded to the doors and for two hours he held this throng’s close attention. Colonel Eddy spoke of the campaign as atan end, and said that all that remained to do was to keep tne Republican ranks closed and march on to victory. He said this was a campaign of education. He had been to the North, East, South and Wesr, and here and everywhere he had found the people awakened to the realiza- tion that something more than ordinary questions was involved in this great struggle, and that they were aware that the financial question was but a false issue which assaulted the faith, credit and honor of this Nation—an issue conceived to create a popular feeling whereby William Jennings Bryan hoped to be elected Pres- ident of the United States. The bone and sinew of the Democratic party, said the speaker, could not stand a plank which assaulted the Supreme Court, which Lad stood from the infancy of this | Governmant to the,present hour as the | bulwark and foundation of the Nation. ! In that plank conld be seen the image of Governor Altgeld. Colonel Eddy's clear argument was well | received by the Republicans and believed by the Democrats present. He explained { explicitly the demonetization of silver, giving the history of the silver dollar up | to the present date. e MODESTO'S BIG MEETING. Judge Paterson Arraigns the Demooracy for Its Failure. MODESTO, Cawr., Oct. 31.—The Repub- licans held the ust rally of the campaign in this county here to-night, with Van R. Paterson, ex-Associate Justice of the Su- preme Court, as speaker. County Com- mittee Chairman Cuarles T. Elliott pre- sided and introduced [Paterson, who was greeted with a storm of applause. The speaker paid considerable attention to Bryan and discussed the issues of the campaign thoroughly. The attention of the audience was called to the refusal of { Bryan to discuss the tanff question which, he said, four years ago was the paramount issue. The farmers were asked to remem- ber the promises of Mr. Bryan four years ago that if tuey would vote for free trade or its nickname—tariff for revenue—their wheat would bring $1 25 a bushel; to re- member the failure of the prophecy itself and of the prophet to account for it. He told them when the Populists asked them why they desired to turn the finances of the country over to European countries to ask in return why they had turned over the industries of the country to European nations, and 16 to 1 if Bryan were asked no reply would be given. The siiver question was interjected into the campaign because the FPopocrats were forced Lo surrender or find some expedient which would again fool the people, and the free silver heresy was adopted as more likely to catch the farmers and all who bad suffered from hard times. No such principles as were put into the Chicago platform, he said, could be found in any Democratic platform preceding it. Never did a Democratic convention before declare that by tiav of the Government 53 cents worth of silver could be made equal | to 100 cents in gold in the payment of pri- vate und public debts. Tariff reform, he declared, was but a nickname for fres trade. Extracts from messages of both Harrison and Cleveland and from Democratic papers were read to show that the country was always pros- | perous under protection and always suf- fered under free trade. Tae speaker han- dled without gloves the provisions of the Chicago platform attacking the Supreme Court, denying the right of Federal inter- ference where the maiis were stopped and property destroyed in a State and n%udi- ating Government oblizations. igh tribute was paid to those Democrats who, regardless of consequences to themselyes, stood shoulder to shoulder with the Re- publicans, as they did in 1861, in defense of the ‘constitution and against State rights. Rl N 84N JOSE DFMONSTRATION, Silver Enthusiasts Parade and Listen to Speeches. SAN JOSE, Car., Oct. 3L.—This city was to-day the scene of a great Bryan demonstration, under the auspices of the Democratic and People’s party county committees. At an early hour people be- gan to stream in from the surrounding towns, and at the time set for the parade the streets were streams of humanity. No attempt at glittering pageantry was made, and the parade, w:ich was a homespun affair, was very creditable, taking twenty- five minutes to pass a given point. There was a profusion of transparencies, small boys and farmers’ wagons in line. The couniry towns were well represented and gave the color of a country reunion to the proceedings, Rain fell at brief intervals throughout the day, but that did not deter people {rom gomng to Agricuitnral Park in the afternoon, where there was speaking and a barbecue. An ample supply of beef and bread frevenled any one from gone hun- gry. 1In the pavilion the gathering was addressed by Congressman Maguire. The day’s festivities conciuded with a mass meeting this evening, at which speeches were made by V. A. Scheller, Jackson Hatch, E. A. Cothran, F. B. Brown, Nicholas Bowden, F. A. Quinn, W. A Coulter, J. M. Movi d Terry. —_—— STOCKTON GREETS DE VRIES, The Candidate Closes the Campaign in His Home City. ' STOCKTON, Car., Oct. 31L—The big Agricultural Pavilion was crowded to- night by those who gathered to hear Marion de Vries, candidate for Congre: in the Second District, and Governor Budd deliver addresses on the issues of the cam- ign. The Go or came from Ban rancisco by the Iate train and did not reach the paviion until 9:30 o’clock. The Free Silver Club of this county escorted De Vries from its headquarters to the pavilion. To-aay badges bearing De Vries’ picture were cn‘cuhus, and the people of Stockton went bad:e crazy. Thousands of extra ones had to_be printed to supply thedemand, as De Vries is very popular here. When he stepped onto the platform to-night pandemonium reigned for a time, and at intervals through his address men threw their hats up, yelled and blew norns. L ——— ONTARIO’S GREATEST RALLY. One Thousand Republicans March in a Parade. ONTARIO, Car, Oct. 3L.—Never in the history of Ontario has there been such a demonstration as that of this evening. Republican enthusiasm was turned loose, and the champions of patriotism, protec- tion and prosperity were everywhere in evidence. Pursuant to irvitations from the Ontario Republican Club special trains from Pomona and Riverside brought large delegations. Pomona turned out 500 strong; Riverside sent three marching clubs, comprising 250 uniformed men. When the delegations had arrived a pa- rade was formed and marched through the principal streets. There were 1000 men in line, including many on horse- back. Two bands and two drum corps sugpliod music. eople had come in from the country for niles around. The streets were almost impassable. After the parade the throng assembled at the bandstand, where seats Lad been provided in the open air, and was addressed by Jjudge J. R. Ling of Los Angeles. Judge Ling is a pleasing speaker and made some telling points. The Po- mona Lady Quartet rendered patriotic campaign songs during the evening. SRl o LOS ANGELES MEETINGS. George A. Knight ana Senator White De- liver Speeches. LOS ANGELES, CAL., Oct. 3L.—The last Saturday night of the National campaign of 1896 witnessed two great meetings in this city. Hon. George A. Knight of San Frarcisco held forth for iwo hoursin a speech of great power at Hazard’s Pavil- ion, which was crowded by an audience which has had no equal in numbers since “Tom Reed day”’ in Los Angeles. Hun- dreds were unable to find seats and hun- dreds were turned away, not being able to find even standing room. The speaker’s special point was the condition of work- ingmen in this country under the low tar- iff policy of tne Democratic party and under a Democratic administration, aided and abetted by a Democratic House and Sepate, “'Behold,” said Mr. Knight, “the benefi- cent fruits of the Democracy’s fiscal pol- icy and a Democratic administration. Do you want any more?"’ “Nol nol” came from all parts of the great pavilion. Senator White spoke to the Popocrats at the free-silver wigwam. The audience was a big one. The Senator devoted most of his time to “roasting” the element of his party which could not support the Chicago platform. —_————— PORTLAND’S GREAT PARADE. Eight Thousand Republicans March and Cheer for MoKinley. PORTLAND, Og., Oct. 31.—Never in the history of Portland or the State has there been a political demonstration such as was seen here to-night. Fully 8000 people paraded the streets for three hours. Re- publican clubs from several surrounding cities took part in the display, which ex- ceeded 1n elaborateness anything ever at- tempted before. Every trade, industry and business house was represenied. Tnere were thousands of visitors in the city to-day, and Portland was ablaze with McKinley enthusiasm. The streets were thronged all afternoon and_evening, de- spite inclement weather. Flag day was observed in surpassing style. In the pa- rade 1000 railroad employes marched with flambeaux, whistles and banners, pre- ceded by a locomotive mounted on trucks and drawn by sixteen horses. Governor Lord and prominent men re- viewed the parade and a monster meet- ing was then held at the exposition build- ing. A party of Eastern tourists here declared they had seen nothing equaling the excitement and uisplay since 1867. —_—— SACRAMENTO’S ENTHUSIASM, Boisterous Ovation to Congressman Johknson at the Capital. SACRAMENTO, CAw., Oct. 31.—A sea of upturned faces, a mass of flags and bunt- ing, an audience of thousands, brimful of the wildest enthusiasm, greeted Congress- man Grove L. Johnson to-might In the Metropoiitan Theater, and were rewarded with one of the grandest flights of oratory ever heard in this city. Johnson spoxe to the people on behalf of the head of the National ticket. He forgot self and sur. roundings, his voice echoing through the vast building as it had in the balls of Con. gress when pleading for some measure beneficial to the land of the Golden West, the laud of his first love. His upeecl; made more Republicans, sirengthened more weaklings and will add to the ma- jority for McKinley and protection in this city during the present campaign. —_— Placerville’s Demonstration. PLACERVILLE, CarL, Oct. 8L —The final Republican rally in Placerville to- night was the most enthusiastic political gathering of the campaign. Mrs. Riddell of San Diego delivered an excellent ad- dress in bebalf of the sixth amend Hon. Charles A. Swisler of Pllce?;;llll:‘ candidate for Senator, was one of the speakers and was giyen a rousing recep- tion. Hon. John M. Fulweiler of Auburn spoke on the financial issne with logical effect. Upon no occasion during the present campaign has there been such en- thusiasm in Placerville as was awakened to-night. 2 S In the Pajaro Valley. ‘WATSONVILLE, CaL., Oct. 31.—The last grand Republican rally of the cam- paign was held here this evening. There was a torchlight street parade, in which the McKiniey Cadets of Santa Cruz par- ticipated and eave a fancy drill. Hon. F. X. Schoonmaker of New Jersey. was the orator of the evening and handled the silyer question from a' Republican stand- point in & masterly manner.
