OF their progress through Angels Camp,

with a continuous ovation, each town
yieing with the other in enthusiasm.
On Tuesday night the two veteran
campaianers spoke in lone to one of
The largest audiences that ever there as
Sembled to listen to the discussion of
political issues. The Republicans of
hone are thoroughly in earnest and it
was remarked that in the grand torch
hght procession which paraded the
streets there were several old line DEM
Ocrats to be seen and a number of con-
5ervative Republicans who were bearing
torches for the first time in their lives
Men who never before manifested am
interest in politics shouted for McKin-
ley and Hobart with a will.

III. d. Ranlett and S. j. Holsinger were
appointed as committee to escort the
speakers to the rOstrum. Governor
Markham andA Judge Davis were re-
ceived with rounds of vociferous ap-
plause.
Preliminary to his speech Mr.. Mark
ham said that all through the mountains
he had been thinking at each town-this
beats them all, and now the enthusiastic
reception by the people of lone had con-
WINGED him that there was no end to
good things in this campaign. He felt
a kindly interest in lone and a parental
one in the Industrial School. (Applause)
During the day. through the courtesies
of superintendent Banks, he had in
spected the building from basement to
attic and the shops and barns and farm
and he was more than ever impressed
with the great good the institution was
doing and the thorough economic and
systematic manner in which it was
being conducted. As Governor of the
State he had fostered and guarded the
interests of the institution and now as
d citizen he would always feel the deep
est interest in it's welfare. If the tnstf-
tuition ever needed his assistance all it
would have to do would be to punch the
button and he would do his best. (Ap-
plause.)
The Ex-Governor referred to his pre-
yious visits to lone and the issues of
the day on those occasions. He did not
deem it necessary in discussing the stu
ation to-day to go back twenty or thirty
years. He asked his hearers to go back
with him a few years only and consider
that which was within the memory of
every school boy. Three years ago the
Democratic party were advocating their
free trade policy. Not a word was then
said of this panacea for all ills, free
silver" Not q word was then said of
what to-day they declare to be most
vital and which if not granted to them
will bring ruin to the country They
talk of the crime of '73 and the great
wrong inflicted by the demonetizing Of
silver. The bill they SO bitterly com
plain of was enacted twenty-one years
ago and yet these industrious and alert
Democrats never discovered this crime
of '73 until this time. (Applause) II
was claimed that bill was passed clam
destinely and yet the records of Con-
gress show that it was under considera-
