THE TIDAL WAVE.
"As Goes Vermont So Goes the
Union," Say They All.


Gas goes Vermont so goes the Urion, I"
is the cry all along the Republican line. 1t
is not because Vermont went Republican,
for that is the way she is built, but it is
because she has rolled up the biggest Re-
publican majority in her history and has
exceeded her record by 100 per cent.
This is the significant fact, showing that
the people of that loyal State are wide
awake and that they are not to be deluded
into giving the corrupt and incompetent
Democra chance to experiment with
the welfare of the country Tor four years
longer after the bungling administration
of that office-hungry party has well nigh
destroyed it.
travelling man just arrived from the
East said last night in reply to question
by CALL reporter: 1.-The election in the
East is all one way. 1t is going TO be so
much one way that we have almost ceased
to talk about it. That way is the good
ola Republican way for protection. Do
YOU suppose the people of the East are
such fools that they would let the Democ-
racy operate upon this country for an
other four years"
The State Central Committee is receiv-
ing letters daily from all parts of the State
making the most hattering reports as to
the prospects. The masses of the people,
the farmers and the rest OF the bone and
sinew, have had sober second thought.
They have seen through the silver dust that
is being kicked up to cloud their vision by
the heels OF the same old Democratic
jackass, and they are not gong TO be fooled
again.
The Republican meetings are being
largely attended IN all parts of the State
On the occasion of Judge Carpenters visit
to Fresno few evenings ago, the Barton
Opera-h house was crowded from pit to
dome.
Letters were received from Cucamonga.
San Bernardino County, to the effect that
the monometaIlic craze is dying out, and
that a strong reaction has set in. Reports
from Riverside County received yesterday
state that Republican meetings are we'll
attended, and that many converts have
been made to RepubIicalism.
n. II. Falk, lum Der merchant of
Arcata, Humboldt County, was seen at
the Grand Hotel last night. He said the
people of Humboldt County were en-
thusiastic for Mckinley and protection,
and that they would render a good ac-
count of themselves on election day.
2. A. Buell., one of the leading mer-
chants of Stockton, said last night: PRO
lection is the only issue before the people,
Stockton Is manufacturing town and its
manufacturers never have had any diff
Guilty in getting enough silver and gold to
pay for their raw material and for their
labor. There is plenty of money in the
country. All that is wanted is the oppor-
tunity for its investment. Protection and
the ascendency of the Republican party
will give that opportunity. The people of
Stockton will not be likely to vote against
the material interests of their city. There
are few silver men there, but the mono
metallic fever is dying away"
Hon. J. Frank Aldrich, Congressman
from Illinois. said last night that from
what he had seen in California, Oregon
and Washington he was confident that the
Pacific Coast would be solid for protection
and Mckinley. illinois and Minnesota,
in spite of what may be said to the con-
trary, are safe for Mckinley" he added.
