DELIVERS A LOGICAL AND CON- VINCING SPEECH. Hon. E. F. Preston Nails the Cam- paign Calumny That Hunting- ton Is About to Acquire the Valley Road. Special Dispatch to The Call. MERCED, Oct. 14—Henry T. Gage, the Republican nominee for Governor, accompanied by Colonel E. F. Preston, journeyed from Fresno through Madera and Merced counties to-day. At 194 halting place they were greeted by en- thusiastic crowds. Messrs. Gage and Preston did not arrive at Merced until twilight. At the depot of the Valley road they were met by a large throng of men, women and children. When the standard bearer alighted from the train the people gave three cheers for the next Governor of California. Artillery salutes and music by the Fountain City Band heralded thesarrival of the dis- tinguished campaigner. No time was I0st in forming the procession Lo eScort him to Kl Capitan Hotel. A delay in the arrival of the Gage party con- strained the Merced committee Lo omit from the programme the reception which was to have taken piace at the hotel. bsefore the hour appointed for the meeung tu open every seat in the Mer- ced Favillon was occupied and ali the standing Toom was taken. It was the largest assemblage of the campaign in Merced County. nenry 1. Gage and B. r. rreston were escorted to the pa- on by a committee. The audience red when Mr. Gage was recognized and the Merced Coucert Band at the same uine discoursed patriotic music. 1he meetiug was caued Lo order by J. knox, who announced J. H.

In resent- ing Maguire's assauits upon the integ- rity of the Republican State Conven- tion and regarding Maguire’s humbug- gery in the settlement of the railroad fuding measure, Mr. Gage used plain lanruage. The ventilation of the single-tax scheme commanded the profound at tention of the people of Merced. WoYds were not minced in condemnation of the scheme to place the entire burden of maintaining the government on the owners of land. in the Mr. Gage received round after round | of applause when he demonstrated to the audience that during the entire ser- vice of Maguire in the Legislature and in Congress the “Little Giant” had done nothing for the people. After Mr. ge's speech Mr. Abell sang a campaign song. Hon. E. F. Preston was the next speaker intro- duced. He spoke with his usual elo- quence and force, using language so clear and pointed that his meaning could not be misunderstood. He nailed the campaign calumny that the Val- ley road was in danger of passing to the control of the Southern Pacific and evoked cheering commendation by his demonstration of the fact that anti- monopoly jawbone never had done any- thing to better the condition of the peo- ple of San Joaguin Valley and never would assist in the settlement of the industrial problem of the day. The fallacies of the Maguire single tax dogma were exposed in a manner which convinced the audience that Mr. Pres- on had studied the question and was capable of meeting and overthrowing the arguments of the socialists. The eulogy of President McKinley's remark- able administration called out cheering applause. The enthusiasm increased as the peaking progressed and the audience, which at first seemed a trifle undemon- strative, responded with great enthusi- asm to the patriotic sentiments ex- pressed by the logical and eloquent ex- ponents of Republican principles. The great mass meeting, the largest held during this campaign in Merced Coun- ty, dissolved with three rousing cheers for Gage and Neff. In Merced, as in other places in the Sar Joaquin Valley, the Republicans are alert and confident. They are sure that the fusion majority for Bryan will be greatly reduced and all doubt of the triumph of the Republican cause has vanished. A. L. Levinsky addressed the audi- ence after the conclusion of Mr. Pres- ton’s address. Gage and Preston will journey on to Stockton via Modesto and Oakdale. Every hour of the tour increases con- fidence in the triumph of the cause which they represent. Metcalf Speaks at Suisun. SUISUN, Oct. 14—The Republican campaign opened here to-night and the proceedings were enthusiastic. Bonfires crackled, the Suisun band plaved and the town was ‘crowded. This demonstration was in honor of Victor H. Metcalf, the Republican nominee for Congress in the Third District. In the evening he ad- dressed a large audience in Native Sons’ Hall. His remarks were delivered in a manger that carried conviction, and he was (loudly applauded.

JACKSON, Oct. 14.—A large Demo- cratic meeting was held here to-night. Webb Hall, seating over 600, was crowded to its utmost capacity and an | equally large gathering assembled in | the street and was addressed by dis- tinguished speakers. tesides Judge Ma- guire there were present Congressman de Vries, H. M. Larue. Thomas Scott, E. L. Hutchison, Robert Ferral and S. K. Burkham of Mono, candidate for State Senator. Ex-Congressman A. Caminetti, the chairman, made a lengthy speech, praising the Democratic State ticket | and contending that the nominees e | free from railroad influence and were | opposed by the Southern Pacific, while | the railroad company was doing its ut- most to elect the Republican ticket. | He introduced Maguire as a former | | farmer, pointing to a plow placed on | the stage, as a former blacksmith, { whose emblem, an anvil, also was on the stage, and lastly, as the next Gov- ernor of California. Maguire was received with rousing cheers. He said he was unable to ad- | | dress the meeting at length, as his voice was hoarse because of much talk- ing, and he had to addr also the overflow meeting outside. He said the reason why his voice had suffered per- haps more than that of his opponent was that he did a good deal of his own talking, while the Republican candi- date€ for Governor was wearing out the throats of railroad attorneys who were talking for him. | He said the issue in California was the one handed down from the days of Jefferson—"equal rights for all, special privileges for none.” The Democratic party was on the side of popular rights. The Republican party was in | favor of the allied monopolies. What- ever Gage might be individually as re- gards thg railroad company, it was a | notable fact that he was traveling in | company with well known attorneys of the Southern Pacific. In the south he was accompanied by Barnes, a leading attorney of the company; in other parts i of the State by Judge Carpenter, a po- litical manager for the railroad, and in the mountains by J. C. Campbell, an- ogler well known lawyer of the corpor- ation. M’CONNELL AND NEIL MAY BE MATCHED INDUCEMENTS OFFERED THEM | BY THE NATIONAL CLUB. | | Some Interesting Amateur Boxing | Bouts Scheduled for Next Week. News of the Fighters. Manager Groom of the National Ath- letic Club waits with longing eyes for the coming of ““Kid” Lavigne, who is matched to fight Tommy Tracey, the hard-hitting and shifty product of Australla. The “Kid" has sent telegrams now and then informing the expectant fight promoter | that he is coming, but as yet he has not materialized. When asked yesterday as to the latest news from Lavigne Manager Groom said he would be here next week. There is no doubt that he will reach | this city shortlv so Groom is not worry- | ing, but as he has a permit to hold a | glove contest this month he is looking for material. He thinks favorably of pulling off a go between Frank McCon- nell, the local welter-weight who made such a fine showing against such vet- rans as Tracey and Green, and Al Neil, | the young amateur who has been win- ning small purses and glory by knock- ing out aspiring youngsters in this city. | Neil is strong and willing, and hopes to reach the top some day. McConnell has been retarded in his efforts to gain cham- piousiup uouors by iwo defeats at the | Bands of Green and Iracey. McConnell knows now that he needs experience and intends to go siow in future. He is will- ing to meet Neil and if matched will train diligently, as he knows the latter is hard game. It is understood that both men will be matched within a few days to _fight this month. “Spider’” Kelly, who is to fight Fred Muller, the boxing instructor of the Man- hattan Athletic Club, next month, visited the Ocean Beach with Tim McGrath yes- terday In search of training quarters. The Seal Rock House, his old stamping round, was selected, and he will shortly egin work: McGrath will train him and Frank McConnell will be his sparring partner. / George Gates of the Recreation Athletic Club and Jack Dennis of the Olympic Club will fight at 130 pounds before the Reliance Athletic_Club_in Oakland next Tuesday njght. Phil Green, the soldier boy, will meet “‘Bud’ Parker of New Or- leans in an eight-round go the same even- ing.

LOUD EXPOSES MAGUIRE’S RECORD ON FUNDING BILL - Congressn)ao Shows How His Colleague Is False Sailing Under Colors. Inside History of House Proceedings Given at the Great Republican Rally at Redwo od City. REDWOOD CITY, Oct. 14.—Eugene F. Loud, Republican nominee for Con- gress in the Fifth Congressional Dis- trict, addressed a large and enthusias- tic audience to-night in the Alhambra Theater. He showed in a masterly way that James G. Maguire, the stand- ard bearer of the Populist, Democratic and Silver Republican parties, has been posing in a false light on the funding bill question and other measures of local and national interest. o The meeting was called to order hy B. F. Cooper, who in a brief address introduced Congressman Loud. The ap- pearance of Congressman Loud was the signal for an outburst of applause and frequently during his speech he was interrupted by cheers and hand p- ping. In referring to the appropriation for Redwood Creek Mr. Loud said: Whether Mr. Craig be elected or myself, in the regular order of proced- ure, next winter, before Mr. Craig, even if elected, could take his seat, this creek will be provided for. It would have been provided for this year were it not for the fact that, after consultation between the leaders of the Republican party, when we came together a year ago, it was conclud- | ed to be best to go a little slow in the use of public money, for the reason that the Democratic party had been in power so iong and had so depleted the public treas- ury that the income was only about suf- ficlent to meet the ordinary expenses of the Government. 1 believe you know that I seldom dis- cuss publicly questions in which 1 have a personal interest, but certain things have been said which force me to make some statements in defense of myself, and 1 shall not discuss men as individuals, and 1 shall be as careful as it Is possible for me to be to discuss the candidates for public office simply in respect to_their public capacity and as leaders of —the party or combination of parties which op- pose us. . From that standpoint I shall discuss Mr. Maguire, the nominee of this combination for Governor of the State of California. I will not call him the nominee of the Dem- ocratic party, because the Democratic party is existent no more. The principles enunciated by that party since its very inception have been cast to the four winds of heaven, forcing the men who have en- deavored to be true to Democratic prin- ciples to leave that party and join the Republican, in order that they might pro- tect and better conserve the interests of our people. 1f the principles proclaimed by Mr. Maguire are for the best interests of our State and our country, then he shouid be elected. There are two points that must be considered by citizens when they vote for any man: First, is the man fit ted for the office to which he aspire: and second, are the Erlnclples enunciat- ed by the party to which he belongs the best to be adopted? On his return to California Mr. Maguire immediately took the offensive, condemn- ing every man in the Republican party who had anything to do with its conven- tion at Sacramento—condemning, I say, every candidate upon its ticket. Now, 1 wish to say by way of parenthesis and also justice that Mr. Maguire and I have been personal friends for many = years, and I have had much admiration for him. But I do not believe at all in his political principles nor in his political acts. On Mr. Maguire's return from Washington, referring to Mr. Barham, a colleague of mine and the representative ‘from the First District of Californla, he said he had been a traitor and untrue to the trust reposed in him. Referring to me he said: “While Mr. Barham voted for this funding amendment’—as he calls it—""Mr. Loud did not vote at all.” Possibly some time Mr. Maguire may see fit to explain this utterance, because it is “n injustice to me. I have never seen the time when I could not afford to be honest to the people whom I repre- sent, and should that time ever come I hope I shall be retired. Mr. Maguire well knew why I did not vote. He well knew that I was paired with a man who was chairman of the Democratic convention at Chicago, Mr. Richardson of Tennessee, and he well knew how he would have voted, and he well knew how I would have voted. [ would have voted for the amendment to the deficiency bill which Mr. Maguire so strenuously opposed, because I believed it was right, and I am prepared to defend it to-day. Mr.” Maguire has, Yrobflblg. had as much free advertising in this State as any man who ever went to the House of Rep- resentatives. You have seen in the pub- lic press time and again that he has de- feated funding bills—and there have been two or three before Congress. Let us see—and 1 propose to deal strictly with the record, not trusting to my memory in the least. The first funding bill presented was in the Fifty-third Congress, of which Mr. Maguire was a member. That bill was debated in the House for some days. We have in the House of Representatives a custom, when any great question is up for debate, that the chairman of the com- mittee having the measure in charge is permitted to control the allotment of time on his side of the question, and some one representing the other side is designated by unanimous consent of the body to con- trol the time on that side of the ques- tion. In the Fifty-third Cnnfirasu when the time was yielded up on this bill, Mr. Maguire was given five minutes on a de- bate occu&ylng several days, and it was heralded through every newspaper in the State of California_that Jages G. Ma- uire, the ‘“Little Glant of "the Pacific gons&," had defeated the funding bill. The same thing was repeated in the Fifty- fourth Congress, Mr. Maguire being yicld- ed again five minutes, that being ccnsid- ered all the time he was worth upon a great (‘uesl!on of national importance. In that time he defeated the funding bill again. What great pcwer, force and elo- quence a man must possess to accomplish in five minutes a result which all the rest gt Congress must deliberate upon for ays! In the session of Congress just closed an amendment was proposed in the Senate to the general deficiency bill mrmng this year some ,000,000. This amendment was new legislation, and could only be put upon the deficiency bill or any appropria- tion bill in the Senate by unanimous con- sent. I will explain that no general legis- lation can be placed upon an appropria- tion in either House of Congress if the point of order is raised against it. Some time prior to the adoption of the amend- ment in the Senate Senator Morgan, to whom probably more is due for the defeat of funding bills in Congress than any other man, together with Senator White, whom no man can deny is head and shoulders above Mr. Maguire—yes, head and shoulders above many Senators whom we have had from the State of California —got together and reasoned in this way: e are In the midst of a great war. This is no time to foreclose_this debt on the Central and Western Pacific railroads. Money is not seeking investment, and a little more time should be given in order that we may look around and be sure of our position. Conference after conference took place, and the ultimate result was the adoption of the amendment as in- troduced in the Senate. ‘While it is not history, yét I do not be- lieve that Mr. Ma, was a party to these conferences day after day until the final amendment reached the shape in which it was offered. I charge that he was a party to the act of pumnzhthlu amendment upon the de- ficiency bill in the Senate in order tnat the amendment might then be presented to the House of Representatives for his tation and 03 ire will deny that he | | tor Gear of Iowa, chairman of the Com- | mittee on Pacific Railroads in the Sen- | ate, offered this amendment, framed upon | an understanding between men in that body irrespective of party. As soon as it was offered Senator Hale, in charge of the bill, arose in his place and raised the point of order upon it for the reason which 1 have previously stated. Senator White then got up and said: ““Mr. Presldent, [ hope the Senator will withdraw the point of order, for I can assure him that there wiil be no objec- tion made to it and that there will be no_debate upon it.” Senator Hale replied that “if the Sena- tor from California who has in days gone by opposed measures similar in charac- ter to the amendment wliil assure me that there will be no objection and no debate then I will withdraw the point of order.” The point of order was withdrawn and not a single negative vote was cast against the amendment as offered. | 1 ask in all candor whether it is rea- sonable to assume that there is more honesty, more wisdom and mere acumen in Mr. Maguire than in the ninety Sena- tors representing the different States throughout our country? I call attention to the revenue cutter now lying in San Francisco harbor, which was buiit under authority of an act in- troduced and passed by me within three months after I first took my seat in Con- sre: Now what were the facts about that case? On October 23, 1893, about three months afger Mr. Maguire took his seat, this revenue cutter measure came up in this w. Mr. Maguire had introduced a bill Yro\'lding for a revenue cutter for San Francisco harbor and an appropria- tion of §50,000 to build it. This bill went to the committee on interstate and for- eign commerce and one day, Mr. Mallory of Florida called up a_ bill reported by that committee to provide revenue cutters for the Great Lakes. Immediately I rose in my place and offered as a substitute to that bill, the bill introduced by Mr. Ma- uire {A_rcvldlng for a cutter in our har- or. While the fight, which was bound to be successful, was in progress Mr. Ma- guire came in, and coming up to me, said: “As this is my bill, and this is a Demo- cratic Congress, 1 ask you to withdraw the substitute and let the bill providing a cutter for the Great Lakes pass.” had been in Congress longer than he and 1 begged him to seize this opportunity to secure the cutter. He was Insistent and I was forced, as the record plainly shows, to withdraw the substitute. Thisbill subse- quently passed Congress and became a law, but the record shows that Mr. Ma- guire was not present when it did pass. Mr., Maguire has referred to the meas- ures providing for the preliminary sur- veys in connection with the obstructions in the harbor of San Franeisco. Vhile I am willing to admit that Mr. Maguire may have brought this matter before the river and harbor committee, yet I know that when the order of survey was made in the Senate the language of it very much resembled a measure introduced by another party. He refers also to the resurvey of the harbog but the record conclusively proves that that was commenced In 1892—the win- ter of 1892—before Mr. Maguire went to Congress. Then he refers to the postoffice appro- priation and the revision for the re-ex- amination of the Postoffice site. In rela- tion to that I will say that the Postoffice appropriation for San Francisco was made in 1886, before either he or I went to_Congr: I would like to ask the people of Cali- fornia If there are not some questions which to them are more important than even the survey of San Francisco har- bor or the passage of any bill of a local character. would like to ask where the party or parties which he represents stand upon other questions at issue to- day. Are they trying to fool the people of the State of Callfornia, or do they intend to carry out their promises when elected te office The old Democratic party has stood for sound money and sound finance from {ts inception. Another party has been formed whose fundamental principles are the grinding out of money from the treasury irrespective vof amount and ir- redeemable in character. Another party calling itself the Free Silver Republican Eflrty believes that every ill that flesh is eir to can be healed by issuing 16 to 1 dollars. But I believe that this combina- tion of parties is for public plunder and not for public principle. Mr. Loud then referred to President McKinley as follows: McKinley is a Republican in full ac- cord with the Republican party recom- mending to Congress the legislation which that body had enacted. The oppo- sition condemns the party, but applauds its leader, commending him who is almost the party itself. The Democratic party approves the acts of our President, but attempts to_strike from his reach the very means by which these acts are per- formed, to remove from him the means through which the great work before this nation to-day must be acomplished. “Consistency, thou art a jewel!" D. E. McKinlay followed in a brief address, in which he discussed the js- sues of the campaign and predicted a grand victory for the entire Republican ticket on November 8. NEEDHAM AND KYLE CHEERED AT TULARE Large Gathering Addressed by the Apostles of Republicanism and Prosperity. TULARE, Oct. 14.—Hon. J. C.

His mention of President b:?cKlnley brought forth tumultuous ap- plause. 3 Major C. W. Kyle's speech was warmly received and ‘loudly applauded. Major Kyle kept the large audience in good humor during the entire evening. This was one of the most successful nlxleeun s of the campaign. The Tulare silver {:‘amouc and stirring music.

AT HIS TOUCH ROCKS YIELDED - UPTHEIR GOLD A Klondike Nabob Comes to This City. WILLIAM LIGGETT'S LUCK THREE TIMES HE STRUCK GOLD ON THE YUKON. The Last Strike Netted Him Hun- dreds of Thousands in Nuggets and Dust—His Ad- ventures. On the train from Portland there will arrive this morning in San Francisco one of the most noted celebrities of the Klondike. The man in question is Wil- llam Liggett, formerly the partner of Swiftwater Bill, but now an independent- ly wealthy E1 Dorado king, with hun- dreds of thousands of yellow money at his command. He is a quigt, unassuming Croesus, with none of e swagger of Swiftwater Bill in his composition and a deep-seated aversion to notoriety. Tiggett is just out from Dawson, hav- ing reached Seattle four days ago. He has had an adventurous nine years' ca- reer in Central Alaska and the British Northwest Territory, which reads very much like a romance. The facts as given are gleaned from one of Liggett’s com- rades in Alaska. In the spring of 1889 Liggett entered the Yukon Valley for the first time, packing his supplies on his own back over the Chilkoot Pass. He was a farmer’s son, from Buchanan, West Virginia, but it did not take him long to secure a profitable placer claim on Forty Mile Creek, where old-digging had just commenced. Later e made an adventurous trip with the Frank Leslie Exploring Expedition across the heart of unknown Alaska to the Tanana River. The next year he located a claim on Birch Creek and cleaned up 37000 at the end of the first season. Tak- ing this money with him, he went back to Buchanan, West Virginia, and, salted it down in real estate. Then he went | back to the Yukon for more, and trying Miller Creek this time secured another . Out he came with this gold, again salting his profits down in West Virginia and for a third time returned to the Yukon. see, 1 knew a_good thing when 1 saw it,”’ remarked Liggett one day, “and I thought that where national banks were lying around loose, was a suitable place to be. I intended to stay ‘Alaska until I had secured a fortune it took twenty vears.” When the Klondike gold was dicovered Liggett was back on his Miller Creek claim. Hearing of the discovery after a lapse of several weeks, he abandoned his claim and about $1200 worth of tools and provisions and on thirty minutes’ notice started Gown the Yukon for Dawson. When he arrived there all of the good claims were staked. Liggett was not to be left in the cold, however. He sped up Bonanza and finally El Dorado creeks, inspecting the various shafts. Reaching No. 13, El Dorado, he jumped down the shaft, hastily glanced at the pay-streak, which had just been uncovered, and then turnin, he owner of the claim offered hi ,000 for it. No such price had been named up to that time for the choicest hnde?in 'l:i‘ultcth and nflwas I::tnrll\;ly alc- cepts ett was given ur in w%ch r:a'ks his offer good. He had but $48 ket, but he was a ‘rus- tler,” and quickly found a friend to whom e successful appli on for a $5000 Skipping back cath oan. to the claim he | handed the $5000 in dust to the owner and | the claim. The four of th Sto] W - n Gays had elapeed, when Lol $35,000 In ey and paid it l Teserved =N a controlling interest in_the property and continued to work it. It soon developed that No. 13 was good for $2500 to the linear foot of the pay-streak and as the streak was just 500 feet In length, there was a cool_million and a quarter in sight. Recently Liggett sold his undeveloped part of the claim for a handsome figure and_ taking the money which he had al- ready dug out, started for the States to enjoyv his fortune. He figures upon being a banker. STATE FAIR A SUCCESS. The Agricultural Society Clears Six Thousand on the Enterprise. A statement has been made showing that the State Agrieultural Society has reduced its indebtedness by about $7000. This lessening of the society’s liabilities is due to the skillful management of those who arranged in detail the State Fair recently held at Sacramento, and is highly gratifying to those concerned. Secretary Edwin F. Smith of the asso- ciation is among those who are jubilant over the fact that the last racing meet was crowned with success instead of fail- ure. He sald: “It was a matter of surprise to us all when we found that instead of increasing our debt we had lessened it by the fair. From $28,000 we have dropped the debt to about $21,000, that is, 1n round numbers. In consideration of the hard times we proposed the curtain.ng of all expenses, and to the economical expenditure of money we attribute our profits. The re- duction in expenses amounted to$2500, and we fell short about an equal amount on our gate receipts. Our privileges yield- ed us $4000 or $5000 clear coin, and the re- duction of entry lists saved us some- thing more.” Mr. Smith was elected presiding judge at Ingleside for the coming season by the Pacific Coast Jockey Club yesterday. _— ee——— Robbed a Sailor. Mamie Clark was arrested yesterday on the complaint of Peter Brandt, $second mate of the schooner Edward Park, and booked at the City Prison on a charge of grand larceny. She is accused of steal- ing $60 and a revolver from Brandt in the Oakland House, Third and Howard streets, early yesterday morning. The revolver was found in a saloon where she had left it.
