Bolinas Republican Rally. BOLINAS, Oct. 27.—Bolinas was the scene of a Republican rally to-night, the eothusiasm of which has not been #qualed in many years. Thomas J. Len- nhon, nominee for Superior Judge, and #homas P. Boyd, nominee for District Altorney, were the chief speakers of the evening.. The rally started with a parade &t £'0’'clock and ended with speaking in the town hall. When the .speakers en- téred the hall they were enthusiastically received. Both Boyd and .

There have been many campaign rallies in this little hamlet, but mn comparison with to-night's gathering they were mere perambulating sideshows. Hundreds of residents of the town, reinforced by sev- eral bus loads of enthusiastic Stanford students, assembled in the spacious United Workmen Hall to hear Hon. Joseph C. Campbell of San Francisco and Senator T. F. Selvage of Humboldt Coun- ty. Soon after nightfall the great piles of firewood which had been stacked in pyramids along the streets were lighted, cannons boomed and the hazy autumn skies were illuminated by the flame and flicker of brilliant fireworks. The Uni- versity Band, twenty pieces strong, clothed in bright red uniforms] paraded the streets playing popular and patriotic airs. A great crowd of Republican en- thusiasts flocked into the hall long be- fore the meeting began, and when the band ceased playing and -started up the stairs every seat was occupled and those who came in after the speakers were forced to stand. STANDING ROOM ,ALL TAKEN. When Chairman E. E. Hough ascended the platform and rapped for order there was not an inch of available space in the auditorium. Scores of persons were unable to gain admission, being forced to remain outside, where they formed in little groups and eagerly discussed the issues of the campaign. Everywhere the utmost interest and en- thusiasm were manifested. Loud and Pardee banners floated from the top of the hall, while the lithographs of the | various town and county candidates were everywhere displayed. At the word from Chairman Hough the hum and buzz of animated conversation ceased. “My friends,” he said, “I will present | H. C. Jones, a student of Stanford Uni- | versity."” Jones, a tall, ¢lean-cut, handsome chap, moved to the front of the platform. As | he appeared the Stanford students, who occupied seats In the rear of the hall, gave the college yell, in which the crowd joined. Jones made a brief but cloquent address, in which he urged his hearers to stand by the Republican ticket. SELVAGE WINS APPLAUSE. Next came Senator Selvage of Hum- boldt, who was received with cheers and applause. Selvage is an old-line Repub- lican orator—a wheelhorse of the party, as it were. He talked straight from the shoulder, emphasizing his points with telling effect and the audience applauded lustily. Selvage said: . Mzny people have asked me the question dur- ing this campaign. what is the issue between the two great parties? There is but onme an- swer I e make to this. We may turn to the pages of history and there find the issue written. We may turn to the country and find it written upon the hillside and in the valley. We may turn to the people and find 1t written upon their happy, smiling faces, Prosperity is the one conditign which is mak- ing more happiress in the Urited States than in any other, and to preserve this condition is the heart's desire of every loyal citizen in this country, "and how to do it is the ques- tion of this campalgn. The issue—I hear their answer coming back to me—is to leave well enough alene. The issue s that the experience of 1893 be not re- peated. The issue is that desiring to escape the experience we have suffercd In the past, and knowing where we stand to-day; prostrated as we were by the policles of the Democratic party, revivificd as we were by the policies of the Republican party, we now take our stand upon that broad platform which declares that we will ‘maintain at all hazards the policy which brought and sustained the prosperity > Special ‘wire faci battle of ballots for Governor. It RED is the signal you will know at once that GEORGE C. PA:\RDEE will be the next Governor. From early in the evening.until late at night bulletins will be displayed showing how the count is progressing in the city'and all parts of the' State. There will also be a complete bulletin service from every section of the country, indicating th® results in the various State and Congressional elections. I Come downtown if you desire the news in deta i v\:atching the big dome of The Call Building. 2y HON. JOSEPH C. CAMPBELL OF SAN GUISHED COUNTY STATESMAN WHO ADDRESSED A GREAT ASSEM- BLAGE OF REPUBLICANS IN THE HAMLET OF MAYFIELD. 1 FRANCISCO - AND THE DISTIN- it | which exists fo-day, and will condemn forever those policies which ruin of 1893, When the Democratic party took charge of the Government it tore from the statute books of our countiy those laws upcn which rested the prosperity of our people. Policies which were founded in virtue and wisdom were wiped away, and others resting upon unwise and un- tried theories were inauguraicd. The system of revenue which had made our nation a mar- plunged the nation into the vel of financial success was cwept away and the Morgan syndicate called on to preside over the destinies of our Government and provide it with revenues. A track lke that of a cy- clone marked the course of the administration. FOUR YEARS OF ADVERSITY. For four vears these conditions hung like a ppll over ‘our fair land and the tramp of Cox¢y's army, hungry and footsore, cqmes back to our ears, calling to our minds one of the most lamentable scenes in our history. But down at the bottom of all this wreck and ruin, covered deep by the debris which littered the country, was the laboring man—he who had been in the past drawing his competence, whose femily had been well fed, well clothed and well cared for. He saw the means of earn- ing a livellhood torn away from him, and the little that he had saved in thc past—that had survived the wreck—was soon exhausted. In the four years that followed he tramped the highways and accepted gladly’ any employ- ment that he could get at any wages that he might obtain, In the election that followed in 1896, history was kind to the people. They knew the effect of Republican legislation, of our policies, of our administration in the past. They knew that they were then in the midst of a Democratic administration, and they selected wisely be- tween the two. They announced that they were not willing to longer intrust the des- tinies of this country and its people to the mercies of the Democratic party. When the votes were counted it .was found that the Re- publican party had again been restored to power, /i Our dpponents, however, tell us that this is a State election and coes’ not involve the Re- publican policy In the National Goverriment, That_argument is fallacious. The policy of the Republican party can be sustained only by Republican Senators and Representatives. Should we, at thic time, fail to elect a Re- publican Senator or Republican Congressmen from this State we will have failed to protect the policy of the Republican party—the policy which has builded this nation up to its pres- ent state of prosperity. The people cannot afford at this time, in the presence of conditions as they exist in this State, to trifle with this question. This is a Republican State, every Interest within our State depends upon Republican policies for ex- istence. No greater blow can be administered 1§.the ‘State than to have Republican pollcles oken down or destroyed. The election of a Democratic Governor in the State means a blow at Republican policy. Tt means that a State which has been solidly in the Republi- can, column will be placed in a doubtful column, SIGNALS FLAMING ON CALL BUILDING.DOME | WILLTELL THE RESULT OF THE ELECTION ; HE CALL—always first in announcing the winners in Presidential, State and municipal elections—will a, SR L It means that the people of this State have abandoned the policy which has been its bene- factor, that has builded the State up to its Present ' prosperous condition and that has been the: friénd of every one. It means, in other words, & calamity which we cannot afford at this time to bring upon our .heads. In the face of these facts, there is but one course to pursue and that is for every Republi- can_throughout the State to go to the polis on the 4th day of November and cast his vote for that stalwart Republican, that conservator and defender of conservative principles, the Hon. George C. Pardes, and elect him Gov- ernor of the State of California. COLLEGE YELL FOR CAMPBELL. Then came the orator of the evening— | “California’s great orator,” as he Iis known throughout the State. Eyerybody in the hall seemed to know Campbell, either personally or by reputation, and it wae evident that his fame had preceded him, as the audience applauded him to the echo as he advanced to the front of the stage and removing his watch from his waistcoat placed it on the table so that he might not speak heyond train timé. Then he began. The night was hot and sultry and even before he opened perspiration formed on kis brow and finally when he faced his au- dience his collar was wilting under his chubby neck. With a wave of his hand Campbell, commanding silence, started in. | The students, however, who knew the speaker because of his frequent visits tu the university and moreover because of the fact that his son, Robert, was once among them, desired to show him addi- tional honor and again they gave their college yell. ‘When order was at length restored Campbell continued, his voice pitched at first in a conversational tone, then as- cending by degrees to a high and volum- inous key as he proceeded to. tell in elo- quent tones and euphonipus phrase why he was proud to be a Republican. “I am a Republican and am proud of it,” said he, and a great burst of ap- plause swept over the audience like.a windstorm over the Nebraska prairies. “I am a Republican because I love my country; because I love her rocks and i rills, her valleys and hills; because I love to stand upon the principles enunciated by Fremont and Garfield and Grant and Lincoln and McKinley; because I proud- ly stand at the foot of the pathway blaz- ed by the fathers.” As he proceeded with an eloquent' and able resume of the work accomplished by tlie Republican party he called attention to the necessity of electing Republican Congressmen who would sustain the ad- ministration in its efforts to continue the wise and beneficent legislation inaugu- rated by those whq have gone before. He mentioned the name of Congressman Loud, the incumbent from the Fifth Djs- trict. The audience arose en masse as Loud’s name was mentioned, cheering and waving flags and handkerchiefs. It 3 If GBEEN is the signal you will know at once that FRANKLIN K.

Watch the dome of The Cali Building on the night of the election, as you have done in-former .years. Colored fire thereon will indicate the winner in the REHES was Indeed a magnificent testimonial to the esteem and regard in which the dis- tinguished representative is held by the people of Mayfield. SHOULD ELECT PARDEE. Campbell also spoke emphatically of the necessity of electing a-Republican Assem- bly and a Republican Governor, the elec- tion of a Republican Governor being par- ticularly significant because of the fact that he would have the appointment of 2 United States Senator if, perchance, the seat of an incumbent became vacant. A Democratic Governor, he said, would appoint a Democratic Senator, who would assist his party in an effort to tear down the structure of prosperity which the Re- publican party had .so wisely erected. Continuing Campbell sald: We did-not come to talk politics with you: we came down, to see if we ¢ould not develop some political orators in your University. If we can do that—and we surely have done it —and if the young men of this country study and understand the political issues of the day: and the marked differences between the two political parties, then we have accomplished a great work. We have listened with a great deal of pleas- ure to what you young:gentlemen have had to say in reference to the political issues of this memorable campaign. It shows vast re- search, great depth of thought and an eloquent manner of expression. And as you have gone so deeply into the questions, it woultt be the work of supererogation on Ty part to attempt to repeat it. But probably a few practical illustrations and suggestions* would not be amiss, Gampbell then entered into a discussion of the ever prominent question regarding the balance of trade in America's favor. He spoke of the great improvements which had been made in the -country since the beginning of, the McKinley ad- ministration in 189, making a special ref- erence to the fact that California was far in the lead in this respect. He spoke of the $55,000,000 which had been deposited ni California savings banks in the last few years; of the many thousands of cottages which had been erected since. 159, shaw- ing that the people of the State were jn a prospérous condition, else they could not afford to construct these homes. He said $10,000 per day was paid out to thg work- ers in the fruit industry. With stinging 'sarcasm Campbell launched out into a discussion of the Democratic platform, which he declared Lane had scooted away from several weeks ago, showing the hypocrisy and double meaning conveyed in many para- graphs of this remarkable convention. He eulogized Dr. Pardee, the mention of whose name brought the audience to its feet. —_— Metcalf and Eddy Speak.

Talks to Veterans in the Soldiers” Home at Yountville. Special Dispatch to_The Call. ANTA ROSA, Oct. 27.—More than 2000 residents of this city filled the Athenaeugp Theater to-night to greet Franklin K. Lane, the + Democratic nominee for Gover- nor. Lane arrived at 9:45 o’clock by special train and when he entered the big hall he was cheered to the echo. In- clement weather did not deter voters from attending the meeting, They filled every seat and crowded the aisles. Former Assemblyman W. F. Cowan presided and introduced Thomas J. Geary, who spoke against time. Geary talked about trusts and Chinese exclusion. The Santa Rosa Mandolin and Glee clubs also helped to fill a gap in the programme un- til Lane arrived. & Lane told of big meetings held in ‘other places and said they augured “well for Democratic success. Dockwetler also gave a roseate hue to his report on favorable conditions for Democracy in the State. Alexander Rosborough once more sald he was a bachelor and devoted his speech to a eulogy of Lane. Jugge Farnsworth's speech was short and Was in praise of his colleagues on the ticket. LANE IN ST. HELENA. Lane's reception by the citizems of St. Helena was very cordial. He was met at the railway station by members of the local Democracy and a score of voters wearing the now familiar red button. The town band escorted the Democratic leader and his party to the Windsor Hotel. The day being ideal for an open-air meeting, the distinguished visitors delivered speeches in front of the hotel. Frank Childs introduced the nominees. Isidore Dockweiler delivezed a pleasing speech and told of the united Democracy he had found in his travels through the State. Alexander Rosborough, candidate for Secretary of State, followed. He paid a tribute to his friend Lane, whom he said he had known all his life and had ever found him tQ he a true friend and a man of irreproachable character. Lane was warmly greeted when he arose to speak. He first said some nice things about Theodore Bell, nomine® for Congress from the Second district. Lane sald he found encouraging conditions not only here, but everywhere in California. Lane was cheered by the residents when he concluded. VETERANS GREET LANE The Democratic standard-bearer; . ac- companied by Isidore Dockweiler, Judge Farnsworth, Alexander Rosborough, Thomas W. Hickey and others, arrived at the Soldlers’ Home at Yountville in the afternoon and received a flattering re- ception. The veterans lined up outside the main hall and cheered Lane as he stepped from his carriage. The band played something inspiring and every one entered Social hall to listen to speeches. Addresses were made by Isidore Dock- weiler, ‘Alexander Rosborough and the nomineé for Governor. The speeches were short. National is- sues were not discussed. The orators de- voted their time to telling the soldiers that everything pointed to a Democratic victory on Tuesday next. Lane received hearty cheers when he arose to speak. -The Democratiec leader's speech was not different from that which he has delivered on previous oocasi - He told of his hopes of election, which he said were sure to be realized, because he has found a united Democracy wher- ever he has gone. Lane promised his au- ditors that he would ‘allow no man to influence his actions when he was Gov- ernor of the State, and assured them he would so conduct himself while in office that no adverse comment could be made. Rosborough rendered a song that was greatly appreciated, after which the can- didates intermingled with the members of the home. ' As the party departed for Napa cheers armd well wishes were shout:d at them. TALKS TO NAPA CITIZENS. Lane's stay in Napa was necessarily short, but while He was there he mads many friends. On his arrival Lane vis- ited the various manufacturing houses and personally met the men employed. His buttons were distributed by the hun- dred and were kept as souvenirs by the recipients. The meeting in the opera- house was well attended. Lane's speech was curtailed, as he had to leave by spe- cial train for Santa Rosa. His remarks were cheered and on departing from the hall he was given a cheering godspeed. E. D. Beard, a well-known merchant of Napa, introduced the Democratic nom- Inee for Governor. He said it gave him extreme pleasure to do so, as-he once employed Lane as a cash boy. He was delighted to see his young friend rise, and said he watched his progress with deep interest, and hoped Lane would be elected to the office to which he aspired. Thomas W. Hickey, the young orator from San Francisco, was the speaker of the evening. For more than an hour he devoted his attention to finding fault with Congressman Littlefleld and to criticizing the Republican party. He eulogized Lane and told his audience that San Francisco would go Demoeratic by a large majority, not only for Lane, but for the entire ticket. Isidore Dockweiler, Judge Farnsworth and Alexander Rosborough addressed the voters. e MINERS DISPLAY BITTERNESS. Senator Escapes Rough 1'andling by Avoiding Town of Stent. JAMESTOWN, Oct. 2.—A prominent Democratic “State: Senator was billed to speak in Stent to-night with James Butler, president of the Grass Valley Miners' Union. At the eleventh hour no- tice was given that C. E. Dedrich had been substituted for the Senator. There were several reasons for this change. First, the Tuolumne Miners’ Union declined to allow the Senator the use of its hall in whieh to speak; second, ail, but if you are only interested in the gubernatorial contest you will be enabled to learn the result by | a bad egg brigade was organized, with the ldea of hurling offensive missiles at ‘him;'and third, young men whom the of- fielals of the union could not contro! had made. threats of' rough. treatment should he persist in visiting Stent. -. ‘The cause of the bitter feeling against the Senator among the union men is the part played in causing the turning down of E.
