REED in CALIFORNIA.
An Immense Throng Gathers to Hear
Him at Stockton.

STOCKTON, Cal.. Oct. 29.--Stockton
Agricultural Pavilion was crowded last
night as 1t has not been crowded before
for years. The people from all Central
California focked to this city to hear
Thomas b. Reed talk on Republiosnism.
There were fully 10000 people In the pa
vilion and Mr.. Reed felt compelled to cut
b is talk short on account OF not being
able to make the entire company hear
him.
Mr.. Reed was introduced by Judge
Smith, chairman OF the meeting. The
Congressman saw at opcs that ne could
not talk to the vast throng present, and
he bad to open with an apology for his
inability to make himself heard. lie
said he had found great audiences every
where this year and his voice was not
big enough. The speaker went into an
explanation of the money issue and de-
voted his time TO that subject.

Cantonians visit Mckinley.

Canton, o., Oct. 29-At Major McKin-
ley's home his fellow citizens anticipated
him last night when he approached the
tariff question at the conclusion of one
of his addresses. Three cheers for pro-
lection interrupted him before he reached
his climax. lie replied 10 Mr.. Bryan's
recent utterances In these words: Some
OF our political opponents have been
denying that this question OF tariff is an
issue in the present campaign. They
will not even tell us how they propose
TO raise the money with which to run this
government. They will not discuss that
a. all, and yet they have declared in their
platform that not a single dollar OF
money shall be borrowed, even to main
tain the credit and honor Of the govern
ment in time of peace, but am conf
dent that they will discover that the
tariff question is in the election returns
Of next Tuesday"
There was tremor in Major McKin-
ley's voice last evening. as when. after
repeated attempts, he responded to the
home greetings of thousands of his
neighbors and fellow citizens. His door
yard and those of his neighbors were not
large enough for the crowd. For blocks,

the streets. An improvised platform at
the pavement edge was used. Above this
was an arch OF electric lights, resplendent
with national colors. Business had been
almost universally suspended at 4:30
o'clock, TO allow all mercantile people
and employees of their houses 10 partici-
pate. A score of bands and drum corps
In this city volunteered their services,
and were distributed in the parade which
marched to the Mckinley home. This
demonstration was the conclusion Of an
eventful day. A Arload of West Vir-
ginians came from Wheeling, with them
Lieutenant Governor Richards of Steu-
benyille, O. Theirs was q social visit
without formal speech making. They
called at the Mckinley home, and shook
hands with the major and conversed
with him in a social way.

Hag. and all the speeches were punctureo
with frantic wavings from all parts OF
the hall. State Senator Lawrence was
the presiding officer. Senator Lawrence
said before introducing Mr.. Quigg as
the first speaker, thai the voters were
only waiting until next Tuesday TO ratify
the candidates OF the Republican party,
by the largest majority ever given I'm the
country's history to candidates for pub
lie offices.
Mr.. Quigg made a short, but exceed
ingly humorous speech. and kept the
audience In a continuous laughter at his
sailies. He paid his respects To Mr.. Will
Jams. and delighted the crowd with his
pungent remarks on the Democratic
leader. He spoke OF Tammany, and said
that 1t was the sympathetic Democracy
OF George r. Williams, not the cold heart
less Democracy of Josiah Quincy. 1t Is
Tammany for what there Is in IT.
Senator Hoar received a tremendous
ovation, the cheering being led by a num-
her of Harvard students. so that IL was
some minutes before he was allowed TO
begin. The senator spoke for nearly Ia
hours. Senator Hoar said. in part:
"A few strong instincts and a few
plain rules are enough TO guide the
American people through this labyrinth
Ia which the Democratic party are now
seeking to entangle their feet. 1t is bet
ter to be out OF debt than in debt. 1t is
better 10 keep a promise than to break
a promise. A man or a. country is better
off when its revenues exceed its ex-
penses than when it's expenses exceed
its revenues. And another truth is that
business men and workingmen, that cap
ital and labor, are better off when they
are employed than when they are idle.
Take this matter OF the payment of
debt. think that generation unspeak-
ably base, that piles up burdens In the
time OF peace for its posterity TO bear.
The people of the United States. the
people OF Massachusetts. are a debt
paying people"
Senator Hoar then reviewed the his
tory Of our republic from the time OF its
first debt. when the first congress as
sumed the war debts of the revolution.
tracing it down through the different
administrations. OF these war debts. he
said: There was no dishonor in all this.
1t was the price Of national life. IL
was the price Of constitutional liberty
the world over. Temptation and dis
honor had advocates enough. Repudia-
tion, fiat money, debased coinage, were
all proposed. and truth triumphed in q
fair field.
I'VE asked the people in 1894 If they
liked Democratic history better than Re-
publican. They answered il by electing
. national house of Representatives Re-
publican by nearly to 1. But our DEM
ocratic managers fiinched from the test
very adroitly. They were shrewd enough
to read the writing on the wall. They
saw bankruptcy staring them in the
face. They looked around for some new
alliance. and they established partner
ship with the silver mine owners, and
employed Mr.. Bryan as theiS commercial
traveller. They found the silver mine
owners quite ready forthe alliance. Not
only this. but they have found a man in
Massachusetts whom they have en-
ployed TO commend their new nostrum
