N. Quad In the Ohio State Journal
An hour before shutdown 1 reached a dug

smoking dry grass in q corncob pipe. He
didn't give me the usual words Of welcome,

good natured. even to a stranger who
wasn't responsible for the weather.

Corbett is satisfied that O'Donnell can
whip Maher. but regards the latter as
dangerous antagonist, evidenced by the

than Maher and is a cool-headed fighter
as well as more clever in judgment.

ALL OUT FOR HIM.
Estee's Popularity Ever
Increasing.
ENTHUSIASM AT SALINAS.
Strikes a Keynote on the Beet
Sugar Industry.
TWO COUNTIES ARE GRATIFlED.
Everywhere the Republican Nominee
for Governor Is Gaining Friends
and Votes.
TWO COUNTIES ARE dRATIFlEI

SALINAS. Oct 26.-The most enthusi-
astic political mass meeting in the history
of this county was held tonight at the
pavilion. Nj. NJ. Estee arrived from Wat
sonyille this afternoon and the citizens of
Salinas have left nothing undone to make
the reception OF the Repu bljcau standard
bearer com plete in every respect.
He was met at the depot by a delegation
OF Republicans and driven to the Abbott
House. where several hundred people
awaited his coming. Salinas. though but
slightly Republican under certain condi-
tons, is decidedly an Estee town this
year. and the people demonstrated this in
most emphatic manner to-day. Laying
politics aside they gathered about the
Napa statesman and gave him a hearty
handshakng that he will not get over for
month to come.
A report Of Mr.. Estee's expressions on
beet sugar production at Watsonville last
night reached Salinas in advance of the
candidate himself, and as this is a matter
of vital Importance to the counties of
Santa Cruz and Monterey the people are
out for him almost to a unit.
In his speech tonight Mr.. Estee showed
how and why the counties named had
suffered through Democratic rule. Since
the bounty was taken off American
sugar the price of sugar beets had fallen
from IS To "a so ton, the count ties losing
from $4,000 to 100000 since the bounty
was removed. This amount would have
paid the taxes of Santa Cruz and Monterey
for the whole period.
The address was continuously inter-
rupted by applause, members of all parties
joining in. When he finished Mr.. Estee
was given three thunderous cheers and a
tiger. and the demonstration at the close
of the meeting amounted TO an ovation,
and the Popu lists of Monterey County are
sick and the Democrats are lukewarm.
Mr.. Eitee and the whole Republican ticket
will carry the county by larger aiority
than 1t was ever carried by anv party.

Toward the end it was evident that the

cisi0n, but it can hardly be doubted that
there were other causes impossible at
present to elucidate that led to the resigna-
tinns."
In a leader on the German situation the
Times this morning declines to accept the
theory that the crisis means the return of
the Emperor to a policy of exceptionally
repressive legislation. because that would
amount 10 confession that the dismiss
OF Prince Bismarck was a mistake and
that his own policy was failure. The
Times says that whatever temporary ease
might be purchased by such surrender to
the reactionary influences the conse-
quences to Germany would be too grave
to be lightly contemplated.
