brook (the nominee of the silver wing at

by Charles Crane. Then Booth got the
floor and began speaking, was called to
order, and the chairman asked him if he
was making a nominating speech. He
said he was, "for myself"
He sat down amid jeers from Bryan
men. These were the only nominations
and the vote was called for. The scene
was one of pandemonium, and there were

was very aggressive, but tie vote resulted
in final victory for the silver men by the
nomination OF Holbrook. The vote was

MONTEREY, CAL, Sept. 26.-To-night's
was the greatest Republican rally ever
seen in this city, and one of the largest
ever held in Monterey County. 1t was
under the auspices of the Mckinley and
Hobart Clubs of Monterey and Pacific
Grove. Farmers from Carmel Valley and
other small towns down the coast arrived
early to witness the torchlight procession
and hear the speech by Congressman
James McLachlan of Pasadena.
Bagby's Opera-house on Alvarado street
was packed tonight and scores of people
had to return home, being unable to get
into the large hall. The Monterey brass
band played several selections to open the
rally. The rostrum was decorated with
evergreens and cut flowers, and the speak
ers' stand was dtaped with large Ameri-
can flag. When the principal speaker en-
tered the hall the cheerins was deafening.
The enthusiasm continued all through the
meeting and on the slightest cause for ap
plause the Republicans that thronsed the
opera-house gave vent to their feelings
until they were hoarse.
The meeting was opened by the chair
man, Captain Thomas G. Lambert. After
reviewing many issues uf the campaign,
Captain Lambert in very fattering terms
introduced the speaker OF the evening.
He spoke OF Mr.. McLachlan as the next
Congressman from this district. It was
fully five minutes before the representa-
tive could be heard. Men stamped their
feet and shouted, while the ladies were
content in the waving of their handker-
chiefs and clapping their hands.
McLachlan spoke of the fundin bill
and dwelt at length on the Nicaragua
Canal. One of the main points set forth
in his aroumant WAS that the Rannhlicqn
party was the best friend silver has. His
speech consumed about an hour and half.
Several others spoke for a few minutes
each on the issues of the present cam
paign. One of the most eloquent was
Hon. Edward Berwick OF Pacific Grove.

Voters Of EuTekc Listen 10 a Debate on
Finance.
EUREKA, CAL, Sept. 26.-The debate
tonight between w. w. Foote of San
Francisco and ]. +. Thompson, editor of
the Daily Standard, on the financial ques-
ton, brought out one OF the largest crowds
ever in attendance here at a political
meeting. Each side was bound that the
bulk of the applause should 60 TO its re-
spective champion, and such a din re-
suited that it was impossible at times to
hear the arguments
The question of debate was: "ResolUed,
that the principle set forth in the imam
cial plank of the Democratic platform as
adopted at Chicago in July, 1896. would
not be conducive to the best interests of
the country at large"
Thompson took the affirmative and
Foote the negative. The debate was
brought about by remarks made by Thomp-
sen at a recent meeting of the Mckinley
Cluo, in which he defined his position on
the money issue. Foote was in town and
dropped into the meeting, carefully noting
what Thompson had said. The next even
ing Foote spoke in the silver cause and
devoted good part of his time in attem pit
ing to refute what the gold advocate had
said. The results were unsatisfactory 10
both sides, so a public discussion was
agreed upon.
Thompson opened his address by con-
trasting the financial plank in the Demo
cratic platform of 1892 with that OF 1896.
As Foote was a delegate to both conven-
tions and had a hand in forming both
platforms, he accused the silver champion
of inconsistency.
Fooe did not seem in the best OF
humor, for he "sailed into" his antagonist
with vehemence. He hurled back Thomp-
sons charge of inconsistency and asked
the defender of the gold cause to recon-
ciie mis- position when as a Democrat he
had attacked the principles he was now
espousing. After many severe personal
remarks the idol of the silverites con-
tented himself with reading selections
from the articles written by NJ. NJ. Estee,
w. II. L. Barnes and Irving NJ. Scott
before the meeting of the Republican con-
vention and contrasting EN- with the
statements made by the same gentlemen
after that convention had assembled.
at the conclusion of Foote'S remarks
$50 silverites rose and left the hall.
Thompson closed the discussion and de-
voted mis- time to refuting what his ad-
versary had said. Both sides claim the
palm of victory.

lican convention OF Monterey County met
in Salinas to-day. Hon. ]. r. Hebron
was elected chairman of the convention,
J. G. Joy secretary and w. w. James as
sistant secretary. If any one had the idea

dispelled by this convention. Never in
the history of the county was conven-

Moreno, was not eligible. and as "a result
his name has been taken down. Myers is
disqualified under the section of the con-

evening, with Alex Gordon of San Mateo
as chairman and R. 81. Jury, San Mateo,
secretary.
CIR. Splivalo of San Mateo placed Willis
Guy Witter, late Assistant United States
District Attorney, before the convention,
declaring that San Mateo demanded as its
right the nominee this year, IN accord
ance with pied ges given at the convention
at San Mateo four years ago.
w. r. Porter of Iona Prieta nominated
D. H. Trout of Boulder Creek, and denied
that he or any other dele gate four years
ago made any pledge to San Mateo. w.
H. Galbraith, president of the Mckinley
Hobart Club Of Santa Cruz, pleaded earn
estly for harmony. His speech moved the
convention to realization of the needs of
the moment.
Mr.. Splivalo OF San Mateo claimed that
Mr.. Galbraith could not make promises
for Santa Cruz, and t at the pledges of
Santa Cruz were of no avail-it was boss

them. When Writer'S name was called he
stepped to the center of the convention
floor and said the whole thing was "cut
and dried" for Santa Cruz County, and
he refused at such a late hour to speak.

SANTA ANA, CAL, Sept 26.-Hon.
Stephen NJ. White addressed q large out
door meeting here this afternoon. Forty
members OF the Ladies' Bryan Silver Club
marched in body to the meeting. Plank
seats to accommodate 1900 were provided,
but they were more than filed at all
times during the address, which was de-
voted principally TO the money question.
Ma jor G. w. Kyle spoke at Freneh's
Opera house, the largest hall in the city,
tonight for Republican principles and in
answer 20 Senator White. The large audi
torium was filled and 200 people seated on
the stage. Mr.. Kyle stated that the emf
nent Senator carefully refrained from ex-
planning how free coinage was going to put
idle people st work, and illustrated forci-
bly, the folly of attempting to disregard
the commercial ratio of gold and silver by
legal enactment.
He said that White, in showing how
Germany, France and Great Britain had
adopted the gold standard, had given the
true reason for the fall in the price of sill
yer; it had gone out of demand and was
consequently lowered in price. Until the
same forces which had caused il to fall
would unite in an endeavor 10 restore it
it would be worse than folly for the United
States to attempt the gigantic task I'M
aided.

BOISE, IDAHO, Sept. 27.-The recon-

at Boise City to-day. The object in re-
calling the convention was to take some
action regarding Populist candidates who
were put on the Republican ticket with
the understanding that there was fusion
between the silver Republicans, the Popu-
lists and the silver Democrats, but after
the nominations were made the Populists
commenced and maintained bitter fight
against the silver Republicans in every
county In the State.

OF j. A. Lippincott for Lieutenant-Gov-
those removed w. e. Borah (R. } was nomi-
mated for Congress, Charles e. Durans (D.)
for Secretary of State and +. b. True
(D.) for Lieutenant-Gov
The convention issued an address charg-
ing the Populists, by their refusal to sup
port Dubois, with the responsibility of the
changed conditions. tits now thought by
many that the Populists will name con-
plete new State ticket, with Bryan and
Watson electors, which may result in the
Mckinley electors carrying the State.
Leading Democrats, however, say the
Populists will not put up a new ticket, as
the Democrats have given them sssur-
ances that they did not intend to support
Dubois as per instructions of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, but would
give their hearty support to the Populist
caucus nominee for the United States
Senate.
