Shortly after before the astic of the campaign. the epeakers arrived, but meeting was called to order, the Greek- American Republican Club, hundreds strong, headed by Felix Paduverl and preceded by a band, from which rolled | the majestic strains of “The Star- Spangled Banner,” marched into the hall. The demonstration had its effect and the crowd rose and fitled the hall with cheers for the organized legion of loyal Republicans. | | Jonn W.

NO TIME FOR ABUSE. I have not spent my time abusing my oppo- nents, but in appealing to the sober sense of my fellow men as to what they should do to 1 the great principles of the Republican and continue the era of prosperity we during the years of Repubiican rent from national to local questions, to tell you of a condition that has attracte tion.

These remarks of Mr. Hayes oc- casioned prolonged applause.

C. J. Williams, Union Labor Nominee, and Senator R. J. Welch Ad- dressed the Voters. Maennerbund Hall was filled to its utmost capacity last night by the voters of the Thirty-second Assembly District. It was the Mst rally of the nominees of the Union Labor party and the audience greeted each speak- er with enthusiasm as he appeared on the platform. The applause was loud when C. J. Williams, nominee for Congress, made his appearance. Mr. Williams in a modest way gave a brief account of his affiliation with organ- ized labor for the last twenty-five years, and in conclusion pledged his fealty to the cause. Fully as much enthusiasm was shown when Richard. J. Welch, - the nominee for State Senator, entered the hall. The other speakers were: J. J. Hennessey, nominee for the As- sembly; J. N. Copus, the present rep- resentative in the Assembly; Thomas F. Eagan, Mayor E. E. Schmitz, and the four judicial nominess for the Su- perior bench, Judge Frank J. Mu- rasky, Daniel W. Burchard, Charles T. Comlan and James L. Gallagher. The meeting was presided over by Rudolph Urban, who was introduced by George J. Berger, chairman of the committee. e TR A THIRTY-SIXTH DISTRICT.

Armstrong, a talented young lawyer and an orator of no mean ability, kept the audience highly entertained until the arrival of the judicial nominees, who appear- ed and made short addresses, after which the usual cheers were sent ringing through the rafters of the old building where Dennis Kearney once held his celebrated sandlot meetings. EERPSICTER FORTY-SECOND DISTRICT. George A. McGowan, Republicn candidate for the Asembly in the For- ty-second District, who was chairman of the last local Republican convention, is deserving of the support of all Re- publican voters in his district, partic- ularly to the exclusion of the taxpay- ers’ party's candidate, George Lewis, for the reason that the Democratic candidate, Walter Farnham, is making no fight. In view of this latter fact all votes cast for Lewis detract from McGowan, whose other competitor in the district i# Edward J. Kirwan, the Union Labor party’'s nominee. Kirwan is employed in the Sheriff’s office. McGowan does not represent any political faction, but stands for the best interests of the Republican party.

The campaign canard to the effect | that Julius Kahn attempted to disrupt | a labor union is fully exploded by the following affidavit from William Man- ning: State of California, City and County of San Fra; ss. Willlam Manning, being duly sworn, deposes and says: I am a member of Local Union No_ 19, Brotherhood of Palnters, Decorators and Paperhangers of America 1_was present | at the meeting held on October 31, 1004. AL | that meeting there were present fifty or sixty members of the membership of 1400 men. The | statement that the resolution was passed over- whelmingly is utterly false. It was strenu- ously opposed and carried in the face of strong opposition, cven from the ranks of the picked { meeting. 'The members of the union had no knowledge that such a resolution was to be | passed, and if any fair proportion of the mem- bership were present the resolution would never have been introduced, much less car- ried. The persons who rallroaded its passage compose a small clique made up of men who have resided in our city for a few years, and have been solely responsible for the dissen- sions and disruptions so loudly complained of in thelr resolution. The statements that Jullus Kahn s an enemy of union labor and the brotherhood, that he advised the disruption of Local Union No. 19, that he caused a dual organization to be formed, that he assisted the Citizens' Alllance by sending strike- breakers to Sacramento to take the places of locked-out painters, are entirely false and un- true. The resolution and its publication are an act of malicious politics, accomplished on the very eve of an electlon for the purpose of creating a_hostile sentiment against Mr. Kahn without an opportunity of contradiction. In the enirit of fairness and behalf of 1300 members of the union that fre given no no- tice and no opportunity to be heard, 1 wish 10 protest against the charges which even the framers knew to be falsel and against the method in which our union has been made to appear to censure a man that it holds in the very highest respect.

F. WELSH IS SUSPENDED. Election Commission Removes Deputy Registrar for Insubordination. The Election Commission met last night. Very little business was trans- acted. Deputy Registrar J. F. Welsh was suspended for two days for in- subordination. Commissioner Leffing- well happened to hear a conversation between Welsh and Chief Deputy Harry Zemansky, in which Welsh used strong language to his superior, and, the case being brought before the board, it resulted in the suspension of Welsh. The rest of the session was given to purging the voting roll, al- though very little was done in that di- rection. Edward Kuepfer, who lives at 794 Mission street, was said by the Mer- chants’ Association to have moved away from his abode during the last thirty days. It was found he still lives in the same location, so he will be al- lcwed to cast his vote to-day. Sy e ONE OF MANY SCHEMES, National Republican Committee (ives a Word of Warning.

BUDD CHIEF SPEAKER Livernash Also Addresses a Meeting. Campaign issues, the affairs of the ‘nation and clean politics were forgot- ten last night at Pioneer Hall, wherew the Democrats held a rally meeting at which ex-Governor Budd and Congress- men Livernash and Wynn were the| chief speakers. Budd and Livernash, together with P. J. McCarthy, who is a Democrat by the grace of union labor, descended to vituperation and invective and discussed the charac(er.j manners and alleged immorality of | thelr Republican opponents, while the | People of Santa Rosa Show Regard | questions of trusts, expansion and tar-i iff were given but brief courtesv. | The presiding officer was Walter Macarthur, who occupied many min- utes with an introductory address and later, during a lull in the proceedings, while waiting for the Democratic Con- gressional candidates, came bravely to the rescue with a talk on legislation. He asserted that this was a party, not a class, fight and was soon contradicted by a subsequent speaker, who appealed to the audience to support Democracy as the champion of the poor against the rich. James H. Budd was the first speaker introduced and began by arraigning Kahn in mud-flinging terms for fling- ing mud. He branched out, however, with figures and predictions of to-day’s voting. He also claimed that the Dem- ocrats did not desire to abolish the tariff, but regulate it, and that the reason why the Democrats were in the minority was because men after boodle would not stay with the minority. He then referred to trusts’ and said that they were the result of Republican ad- ministration and that hard times were inevitable during Cleveland's adminis- tration after Harrison was out. He next spoke of Hearst's efforts to suppress trusts and the Republicans’ evasion of their responsibility. After ta'king for several minutes on trusts he switched back to attacking Julius Kahn and ridiculing his personal char- acteristics. Following a particularly | slurring remark he added that he “did not think Julius Kahn was in any way corrupt.” William J. Wynn, candidate for re- election to Congress from the Fifth District, next spoke. In a few words he asked for the support of the Demo- cratic voters at the polls and prom- ised that he would do all in his powerl to further their interests. | P. H. McCarthy then followed with | a description of a supposed attempt by | two Republicans in a buggy to run down Livernash and Wynn at an open air meeting on Market street. He ac- cused Presidential elector U. S. Grant | of being the instigator of the attack. | His speech was mostly confined to the | v discussion of the labor relations with | the Democratic party. Edward J. Livernash was the final speaker of the evening. He began with an attack on Julius Kahn, Republican | nominee in the Fourth Congressional District. He said that his opponent | had descended to depths of infamy | never before reached, and far lower than the level of the last campaign. He spoke of the principles that he would fight for in Congress in spite of the assaults of hired thugs and against votes washed down with “can- didate” beer, and in spite of the Citi- zens' Alliance or even of a dastard press, always a purchasable quantity. The next few rthinutes were devoted te an attack on Abraham Ruef, the Congressman alleging that an agree- ment had been made between Ruef and E. A. Hayes, Republican nominee in the Fifth Congressional District, to defeat Wynn. Livernash closed with an appeal for the party's support at the polls to-day. country to substitute for the pencil prescribed by law for use in marking the ballots a pencil of different color, and the use of which would | invalidate the ballots, This is doubtless only one of a number of | schemes to which the opposition may resort in a final effort to affect the result.

She is Mrs. Harry C. Winnes of 1323 Albany avenue, only ta few blocks from the scene of the | three recent tragedies. A short, heavy-set man, frequently mentioned in connection with the three murder mysteries, was discovered by Mrs. Winnes in her back yard. As she stepped out of the house the man leap- ed at her and seized her by the throat. She screamed and called loudly to her husband, who was in the hcuse, and her assailant fled out of the alley gate. ‘When her husband appeared with a gun the fiend was nowhere to be seen.

Republican Leaders Claim County by Small Margin. WOODLAND, Nov. 7.—The Repube licans of Woodland closed the cam- paign here to-night with an enthue siastic meeting in the opera-house. T. V. Eddy of San Francisco was the prin- cipal speaker. Local candidates also made addresses. On the eve of the election the Re- publican leaders claim Yolo County for Roosevelt by a small margin. The county gave Bryan 350 plurality and Congressman Bell a plurality of 855. The latter’s vote, they claim, will be reduced in proportion to the slump on the head of the ticket. The Republicans also claim the election of an Assemblyman and two of the three | Supervisors. The Democratic leaders are exceedingly reticent regarding the head of the ticket, but claim Bell's majority in Yolo will be as large as that two years ago. With equal con- fidence they claim the election of the ly deccrated by the Republican women | y cemplyman and all three Super~ | of Santa Rosa, great interest being ta- | ., .o ken by the fair sex in McKinlay's o race for Congressional honors.

The Republican candidates for Con- gress, Palmer states, will be elected by pluralities ranging from 20,000 to 25,000.
