The San Francisco call., 1896-10-27
Predictions That the State Will
Be Carried by Majority of
Fifteen Thousand.
EVERYWHERE ENTHUSIASM rs
INCREASING.
Leaders State That Major Mckinley
VIII Easily Carry Ca i.
fornia.

The final swing of the campaign is
surely toward Mckinley. At the head
quarters of the Republican State Central
Committee the last vestige of doubt con-
cerning Republican victory has been dis
pelied. 1t is now question of McKln-
Iey's majority. Yesterday the committee
received the annexed message from
Southern California:
Los ANGELES, Oct. 26, 1896.
Hon. Frank Mclaughlin Chairman Republican
State Central Committee: Our canvass is SO lar
completed that l am justified in assuring you
that Mckinley will have a majority of not less
than 5000 in counties south OF Tehaehepi.
Chairman Southern California Auxiliary Com
mittee.
John D. Spreckels, who has served on
the State Committee in five campaigns, is
entirely confident that Mckinley will
carry California by a handsome majority.
He was asked this question yesterday:
Accepting Mr.. Osborne's prediction as
correct what do you say McKinley's ma
jority will be in the Slater"
To this he responded:
"If Mckinley carries the southern
counties by 5000 majority, as Osborne pre-
diets, he Will carry the State by at least
5000. and perhaps 90 900 majority"
]. a. Waymire is confident that McKin-
ley will carry the City OF San Francisco by
majority approximating $1,000.
Senator E. Q. VOORHEES, came in from
Amador County yesterday. That county
went for Cleveland twice, and is usually
counted on for q Democratic majority of
at least 100. The Senator predicts that in
this election the county will be carried for
Mckinley. The political enthusiasm in
the towns of that region is without prece-
dent. The Bryanites had a rally at Sutter
1oxy 1fohf 1ac
was there, and boasted for two days that
such a demonstration could not be
equaled. Saturday evening the Republi-
cans gathered from the surrounding coun-
try to hear Samuel M. Shortridge. The
voters began to arrive in the afternoon
and their ranks kept increasing and in
creasing until the Bryanites threw up
their hands and acknowledged that their
big turnout of Thursday night was far
surpassed, both in point of numbers as
sainbled, voters in line and enthusiasm
displayed. Mr.. Shortridge never spoke to
better advantage. He was gratiied be-
yond measure by the magnitude of the
demonstration and the enthusiasm which
his address awakened.
At Jackson, Amador County, next Satur-
day night the Republicans will hold
another great meeting. The Republican
enthusiasm aroused in Amador County is
displayed all along the line OF noun tain
counties. Where the Bryani,es hoped to
get large majorities for their candidates,
The Republicans are taxing the lead, and
swinging all the waverIng voters into the
Mckinley column.
The campaign managers OF the Repub-
lican party are not relaxing effort or vigi-
lance on account of the assurances of vic
tory. Exertion is doubled to render the
victory complete ana overwhelming.
There should be large turnout this
evening to hear General n. P. Chapman
and Joseph G. Campbell at the Audito-
rum. Aside from the eloquent and spir-
tied speeches there will be music, singing
and recitations.
Tomorrow night at the Auditorium
Hon. F. X. Schoonmaker, the eloquent
orator from New Jersey, will address the
people. He has just returned from a bril-
liant tour of the State. He addressed
great audiences at Nevada City, Sacra-
mento. Stockton, Oakland, San Jose, Bak-
erstield, Tulare, Modesto, Napa, Marys-
vile, Red Bluff, Yreka, Redding and Will
lows.
NJ. R. Higgins of the Republican State
Central Committee asserts that there
must be something singularly fascinating
and persuasive in Mr.. Schoonmaker's s
style, for the committee has been beseged
with requests that he shall return and
speak in the places where he has already
spoken. There is something in his
method and manner which captivates the
audience. He will doubtless have rous-
ing meeting. At the Auditorium to-mor-
row night ex-United States Senator
Charles n. FELTON, will preside.
