OAKLAND, Nov. 2.-The town was
in gala attire today and the Republicans
are in high feather for with the Reed
meeting this afternoon and a monster
| parade this evening, the cause of gold
went up several points.
Yellow is everywhere. Chrysanthe-
| NUNS of golden tinge are worn by thou
sands, and are for sale on all sides.
Merchants have draped their windows
with yellow silk, and one energetic ha-
berdasher has made up a stock of yell
low neckties, which went like hot cakes.
Business was at a standstill save with
the florists and the haberdasher with the
golden ties.
The parade was the lagest ever seen
in Oakland. The yellow badges signify
ing an intention to march were worn
by everybody, and gave the streets an
appearance of a poppy-bedotted Cali
fornia field in spring. Many Of the pri-
vate hbmes were gaily decorated. Flags
flew from the housetops and pictures of
Mckinley, draped in yellow, hung at the
windows.
1t is estimated that there were $4,000
persons at the racetrack before the
speaking began. The grand stand and
its surroundings were beautifully deco
rated with yellow, and red, white and
blue bunting, as was also the speakers
stand.
The greeting accorded the man from
Maine on entering the racetrack was the
most demonstrative ever witnessed on

The ceremonies at the track were
opened by a short address by W. H.

amid loud cheering which lasted several
minutes and only ceased when the lat

CANTON, Ohio, Nov. "A delegation
of $50 women from Akron, Ohio, marched
TO the Mckinley home this afternoon to
Greet Major Mckinley. Several mem
bers of the reception committee escorted
the ladies to the Mckinley residence
Miss Martha Bortel an instructor at
Buchtel college, presented the women
In response, Major Mckinley said:
Ladies: I am very greatly obliged to
the women of Akron for this neighborly
and gracious call. 1t always is a good
omen to have the women enlisted in a
public cause, and one of the sources of
the strength in this now memorable
| campaign. almost closed, has been that
we have felt all the time that we had
supporting us the American home over
which women preside. (Applause.)
will not undertake to make a speech to
you-only to express the pleasure that
it gives me to have you make this call!
| and instead of indulging in any formal
words, I prefer, if it is pleasant and
agreeable to you, to greet each one of
you personally and to thank you for
your assurances of good will and conf
dence. (Three cheers)
On the eve of election Gov. Mckinley
feels serenely confident of success in
the presidential struggle which culmi-
mates tomorrow. Throughout the excite
ment of the day, while the visiting dele
gates have come and gone and the Nc
Kinley cottage has been besieged by
long lines of enthusiastic, eager crowds.
Gov. Mckinley has maintained the calm
cheerful and confident air that has
marked him throughout the campaign.
To night he declined, in response to di-
rect requests, to make public express
sion of the outlook. He has been asked
! many times for expressions, but has pre-
ferred to speak only through his speech
es, and he adheres to this rule to the
last
His manner speaks quite as forcibly as
words, however, in showing that he
fully shares the confident expectations
of those about him.
Mrs. Mckinley was confined to her
apartments, not yet up from an attack
of la grippe, epidemic in the town, which
has kept her in her room for the past
week. Most of the day was passed by
the major in greeting hundreds of call
ers, who kept coming in unorganized
groups of dozen or two from points far
and near.
Tonight the front of the house is cob
webbed with wires. A host of special cor
respondents are throrging the street
between the public square and the Me-
Kinley home. For twenty years, ever
since he has been in public life, Major
Mckinley has spent the night before
election in his town home. addressing

HARD AT WORK.
Nebraska Voters Cheer for the Cham.
pion Of Silver.


YORK, Neb., Nov AT o'clock this
morning Bryan was proceeding west
ward from Lincoln on his last days
work in the campaign. The sun had
not risen when he reached his special
train, and there were only a compare
lively few people gathered about the
depot to see him Off These however, gave
him an enthusiastic shout as the train
pulled out. The first stop was made at
Seward. a Republican town. and fully
half the crowd wore yellow badges.
Bryan was, however. respectfully re-
ceived. The appearance of golden COL
ors in his own state seemed to put the
candidate on his mettle. and while he
talked only about ten minutes, he deliv-
cred a very pointed address. Referring
to the appearance of so many gold col
ors, he intimated that the proper ma
terial for the farmer to use who would
display the gold badge was straw for
he said.
"Under existing circumstances Wall
street gets your wheat and leaves you
nothing but straw" His brief address
was devoted largely to denunciation
of the issue of bonds. Notwithstanding
there was large number of Republi-
cans present Bryan was literally ap-
plauded. 1t was noticeable that some
of the shouters wore yellow badges.
AS the day progressed Bryan's audi
ences began to swell in numbers and
enthusiasm. At York which was
reached at o'clock. thousands Of farm
ers were waiting, and the enthusiasm
badges, but not nearly so many as at
Seward. Bryan was introduced as the
next president of the United States,
and replied that it depended great
deal upon how the people of Nebraska
voted This brought great cheer and
assurances that the state was all right
for him. He said that this year the peo-
pie had made an experiment in choos-
ing a presidential candidate from west
Of the Missouri river, and some of the
people of Nebraska seemed very much
afraid there would be a president from
the west. His speech met a ready re-
Spouse from the farmers and laborers
The train slowed up as it went through
Bradshaw, and a few hundred people
who had assembled at the depot cheered
loudly.
Bryan had a big crowd at Aurora
He dwelt in his brief address upon the
effects of the gold standard, especially
upon the farming interests. His points
were literally applauded, notwithstand-
ing the presence of many gold badge
wearers Grand Island was the ex-
treme western point of the days tour,
and is the most western point visited by
Bryan during the campaign. There was
an excellent meeting there. The at
tendance was large and the Bryan sem
timent very strong, judging from the
vociferous applause and the absence Of

seems as If the whole city is gathered
about his home.
Torchlght professions are parading
the streets with bands Of music, and wo-
men and children are on the sidewalks
cheering the marchers.
During the evening Gov. Mckinley sat
In his library receiving many Of his fel-
low townsmen.
The indications are that there will be
a comparatively quiet day here tonor-
row, although later in the day, when
the returns begin to come in, the Nc
KinIey cottage will be center of at
traction. Gov. Mckinley is affordirg
every facility to the press and public TO
get at him, ard there will be little going
on at this center of interest which will
be closed against inspection. The gov
ernor has sat near an open door most of
the day. and the balmy air presages
clear skies for tomorrow.
1t was 10 o'clock before the long line Of
marchers reached the Mckinley cottage,
where crowds had stood throughout the
evening awaiting the governors final
speech Of the campaign. AS the marchers

torchbearers and the thousands who
filled the streets and walks and over
flowed on to the lawns and up to the
porch, Gov. Mckinley was greeted with
cheers as he appeared and said:
My Fellow Citizens: I appreciate
very greatly this call Of my neighbors
and fellow townsmen at this the closing
hours of a memorable and important
political campaign.
The hour for discussion has passed by;
the argument is closed The vast inter
ests Of the American people are now in
the hands Of the people themselves for
proper sediment, and there is no safer
jury in the world to sit upon American
interests than the American people
themselves. But you must remember, my
fellow towiismen, the battle is not won
till the ballots are in. The great jury OF
the American people can be confidently
trusted to establish by it's verdict that
the credit of the country Is to continue
unimpaired, it's currency unimpaired
it's honor unstained, and the glory of the
republic undimmed. thank you a
thousand times for the courtesies and
the kindness you have shown me in the
past three months, and bid you all good

cious means TO brighten the insurgents
into subsection. Recent adViCeS from
Manila tell OF the capture OF 1853 in
surgents who were placed in a small
dungeon under the walls of San Sc
bastian. The next morning 81 of the
prisoners were found dead. 1t was
given out that they were unintention-
ally suffocated by the foul air of the
place, but the real cause of the tragedy
was that the tide flowed into the dun
geon until the water was seven or
eight feet deep. The survivors were
those who were expert swimmers, and
even many of these were dragged
down by the drowning ones. Some
saved themselves by standing on the
bodies of the drowned until the water
receded.
This is horrible enough, but the Span
ish officers have not stopped at secret
cruelty. Three captured insurgents
were disemboweled at the gates of the
city, and then their bodies were hung
up as warning to their comrades
This exhibition OF revolving cruelty
aroused the natives terribly \ few
days later they captured a Spanish
officer, his wife and daughter. the lat
ter a 12-year-old girl The officer they
crueified in sight of his wife and child
and while the man was slowly dying
they assaulted the woman and child.
The natives are sworn into an i'm
mense brotherhood for the extermina-
ton of the SpaniaTds, and as many Of
the insurgents are little better than
savages they will have no compunc-
tons against paying the Spaniard with
torture for torture.
