SAN RAFAEL, Oct. 5.—James G. Ma- guire addressed a medium sized audi- | ence at the opera-house this evening and spoke for nearly two hours on the issues of the campaign. was to have been met at the train by a committee from the San Rafael Ma- guire Club, but only one member, M. F. Cochrane, materialized. Shortly af- terward J. H. Wilkins, J. W. Cochrane, T. J. Crowley, Charles Bogan and M. C. Dufficy made their appearance and escorted Maguire to the Hotel Rafael, where a banquet was honor. The party then drove to the opera-house, being preceded by a brass band. Fireworks were burned and the town was i{lluminated by bonfires. Attorney J. W. Cochrane introduced | James F. Manney, the president of the club, who in turn introduced the speaker of the evening. Maguire was heartily applauded as he stepped to the front of the decorated platform and began his speech. The principal bur- den of the “Little Giant's” was an attack upon The Call. He de- clared that two reasons why the Re- publican platform was known to be in favor of the Southern Pacific were that “it might have been written in the of- fice of Herrin, its chief attorney, or General Barnes, its subordinate attor- ney,” and “the whole ticket was pub- lished in The Call prior to the conven- tion.” “The Call has answered my charge in this respect,” he continued, “by assert- ing that a number of bright young re- porters canvassed the delegates and made up the ticket. Well, those re- porters must be of very acute percep- tion and would hear of something to their advantage by calling at the po- litical headquarters of every party pre- ceding the big conventions.” Maguire declared that Gage had been “fogled” into making statements about the funding bill that made him a laugh- ing stock, and sald General Barnes should have come to his assistance. In his opinton “the record of James G. Maguire was clear as crystal,” and the people knew it to be so. He declared that the Republican party was pursu- ing the shameful policy of trying to gain political prestige by taking to it self the credit of the war with Spain. He added that the party should also take the discredit of the sickness prev- alent during the war and the money that certain officials must have securea possession of. “Mr. Crothers of the Bulletin has as- gerted in his paper that M. H. de Young had a hand in building the Republican platform,” he continued, “and every man must believe this to ve true if the Republicans stand for it. M. Es- tee, an honest and stanch Republican, stands by that platform, but refuses to wander through the State and sup- M. | port such a confidence game from the rostrum. Maguire's peroration was devoted ta promises of what he would do if elected. He was followed by Mr. Hutchinson, the Democratic candidate for Lieuten< ant Governor, Woodland’s Democratic Powwow. WOODLAND, Oct. 5—The Democratic campalgn was opened to-night with a mass-meeting in_the Opera-house, which was crowded. Willlam H.
