Special to THE MORNING CALI

BONNEVILLE, Oct. 6.-The receptio
rendered to Colonel Markham since leaving
Sacramento has been no less enthusiastic
than was that which greeted him before the
arrival at the Capital City. The party left
the latter place at midnight on Saturday
and proceeded direct to Nevada City, where
Colonel Markham remained over several
hours to secure much-needed rest. George
Knight, who took the place Of II. V. More
house, accompanied him, and they were, on
arrival at Nevada, driven to the National
Hotel, w ere rooms had been engaged. They
retired at once TO their rooms, but were
called at an early hour and soon the Colo
mel was surrounded by large number of
citizens, who called to pay their respects.
Hundreds crowded in and out until his
departure for Downieyille. Markham was
kept busy shaking hands with those who
called. He made splendid impression and
left the city with many warm friends be-
bind. The party then drove to Campton-
VILE stopping on the way at San Juan, and
at the former place remained over night.
AT both places enthusiastic crowds turned
out to meet the distinguished visitors and
to exchange greetings with the next Cover
nor Of California. The impression made by
Colonel Markham was a splendid one, and
whatever may have been the previous be-
lief. it is now certain that the opposition to
Markham. which was claimed here, has no
foundation in fact.
This morning the party arose early and
Continued their journey to DOwnlevllle,
wnere they arrived at o'clock amid the
mi ~ oil n hpnmlnu
music OF bands. The city was gay with
Il IS and bunting and the citizens turned
out en- mass 10 receive her famous visitor.
The reception was one of the most splendid
received GU the tour and eviGced the fact
that the Republicans OF this section are I'M
flinching in their loyalty to the head Of the
ticket During the afternoon reception
was held, and great enthusiasm was shown
by all who took part
In the evening a meeting was held at
Armory Hall, where more than thousand
people assembled to hear Markham and
Knight discuss the issues of the day. The
former spoke at some length on the money
question, reviewing his record in Congress,
and stating that he had been misrepresented
by the Democratic party on the matter IN
question. He assured the audience that he
was not candidate OF any section or of any
industry, aud if elected Governor would do
all he could for every interest, so far as
possible, without injuring any other class.
He was followed by George Knight who
made vigorous speech, reviewing Ponds
record and arraigning the Democratic party
fer extravaganza in appropriations.
AT the close OF the meeting scores of people
who had looked upon Markham with feel
ing of suspicion because OF the ISLANDERS cir
cIated about him by the Democratic press,
crowded about him to congratulate him and
say that they were willing TO work as well
as 10 vote for him.
From here the party will return to Nevada
City, where meeting will be held tonight,
for which extensive preparations have bean
made. 1t is expected that the meeting with
be one of the largest ever held in this sec
ton.
