An Ovation Given Him by Democrats
and Republicans.
The canvass of Eugene F. Loud Republi-
can nominee for Congress from the Fifth
District, closed last night with one of the
largest and most enthusiastic meetings of
the campaign, held at Mowry's Hall under
the auspices Of the Loud Guard. The hall
was crowded to the topmost tier of the gal
lery, and long before 8 o'clock all the seats
had been filled, not few ladies being dis
persed among the throng.
On the stage were Hayes Valleys repre-
sentative Republicans and Democrats,
among them Justice n. Haley Timothy
Guy Phelps. Charlie; n; FELTON,, Charles M.
Leayy, +. P. Bull, I. Nunan, Thomas
Burke, L. Levingston. Joseph Willard and
NJ. Levingston. Throughout the evening
the Democrats were noticed to be no less
enthusiastic than the Republicans.
To the tune of The Girl l Left Behind
hall with transparencies on high
and flags waving. After making
the circuit of the hall, ranks were broken
and the members stood about in groups, no
seat& being vacant. j. L. Field opened the
meeting and introduced j. NJ. Days as Chair
man. The latter stated that 'the time for
speech-making had passed, and the time for
action had arrived" He then turned to
present Eugene T. Loud. when a deafenng
applause rang through the house, men jump
Ing from IECII ScdlS dlit LuIONlu lug tiltlT HdtS
into the air, and women waving their fans
and handkerchiefs.
Cheer after cheer followed, subsiding
only when Mr.. Loud raised his hand for ST.
lence. He announced that since his nomi-
nation he had traversed the Fifth District
meeting with ever-increasing enthusiasm on
every hand. But it was from his neigh
borS-Democrats and RepublicanS-that lie
hoped for the greatest support. His can
vass had been a faithful one, and should
the result of the days contest be untavora-
bic he would still be grateful for his friends
support.
Il know that there are present" said he,
those whose political convictions differ
from mine. While l pledge myself to stand
by the Republican platform, whose princi-
pies | will ever adhere to, yet my endeayor
will be to serve alike both parties. When a
deviation from Republican principles will
manifcstly be benefit to the people of Cal
ifornia, will consider it my duty TO devats
from them" In conclusion the speaker
pledged his support to the laborer, to
the principles of the Mckinley bill and to
the free coinage Of silver. He was constant
ly interrupted by prolonged cheering and
retired amid the most enthusiastic applause.
John S. Enos followed with a speech in
which he arraigned [. j. Clunie for dupic-
ity and chicanery, and also discussed the
tariff question. MIR. Loud. said lie, ''has an
.unblemlshed record among workngmen.
He is thoroughly conversant with the great
political problems agitating the common
wealth, and is pledged to maintain
and carry out the Republican policy
regarding them. Thomas j. Clunie,
on the other hand, has voted against the
Mckinley bill, the free coinage of silver and
the sugar bounty. MIR. Loud is labOrer.
He comes before us without capital, but IS
an honest man, the n0blest work of God "
The remarks we're cheered to the echo, and
his summary of the character of Thomas j.
Clunie greeted with shouts of laughter and
derisive remarks.
Samuel Nj. Shortrdge then responded to
loud calls for him and after few remarks
closed with the admonition "to vote a
straight Republican ticket and thus in
dorse integrity and faithfulness in office"
William Ii. III. Hart followed, discussing
shortly the issues of the day. His popu-
larity was attested by the many bursts Of
applause with which his remarks We're re-
ceived.
The meeting adjourned and proceeded to
the headquarters of the Loud Guard. where
an Informal reception was held.
