LAST RALLY OF CAMPAIGN.
Held BY the Republicans Last Night
at hamilton Hall.

The Republican love feast" at Ham
ilton hall last night was undoubtedly
one Of the largest love feasts" that
Kansas has ever witnessed. Hamilton
hall was crowded, and an overflow
meeting Of about 300. who were unable
to gain entrance to the hall. was organ
ICED outside on Quincy street
sOne of the biggest features was the
demonstration made by a portion of the
employees of the Santa F'e shops. The
Railway Employees Mckinley club with
522 men tn line a third of whom carried
torches. marched up Kansas avenue
from Fourth to Ninth street, and then
countermarched and went to the hail
Archie Baird, Charles j. Webb and a.
s. Montgomery led the parade When
the men entered the hall they were
given an ovation, and the cheering and
tumult continued for fully ten min
In the absence of ]. X. Hudson. Thos.
A. Osborn acted as chairman Of the
meeting. In opening, Governor Osborn
announced that the meeting would be
conducted as a love feast, and took oc-
CASTOR to say that the asSemblage be
fore him was the grandest sight he had
ever witnessed since he saw Grant take
Lees sword.
Tom N1cNeaI was called upon for the
first speech, and he started in to get
the crowd gOOd-natured. This he sue
ceeded in doing by telling numerous
stories, and by the time he concluded
the crowd was in such a state Of good
nature that it would have cheered at
almost anything.
When MI. NIcNeal sat down the crowd
yelled for Archie Baird, and Mr. Baird
responded to the yells. Mr. Baird spoke
about his recent trip to Canton, and
said that to see and talk to Major Nc
Kinley made him feel what a small
man he was in comparison. He also
said that the talk that Mckinley would
not carry his own ward was a ridicu
lous as the talk that the Republicans
would not carry Kansas.
When Mr.. Baird concluded, Governor
Osborn proposed three cheers for the
laboring men Of Topeka. especially the
Santa. Fe shop men, and three hearty
cheers were given by the crowd.
Fred Hedge, a young colored man,
Judge Slonecker and Capt. Titus made
short speeches and ex-Mayor Harrison
was called upon to explain the official
ballot This Mr.. Harrison did by tell
ing the crowd to make the crosses in
the small squares at the left of the
names of all Republican candidates
and no others. Mr.. Harrison also took
the opportunity to say some sarcastic
things about Mr. Bryan.
The meeting concluded with the re-
marks of George Smith, another color
ed man, who offered to administer the
Republican rite of baptism to all sin
ners who had not joined the ranks If
they would but come forward. None
came forward.

TAMMANY,s REYENGE.
A Big Fight to be Instituted Agains
Corporations.

New York Nov. 3=The Sunday Cath
ole Union, publishes what is styled a
ton" Tt states that John c. Sheehan,
leader of Tammany Hall, at the Chica-
go convention was told that by holding
his organization aloof from the Chica-
go platform and ticket. he could have
the biggest campaign fund that Tam
many ever possessed Half a million
dollars was a his call. But on the con-
trary, that If he Endorsed the Chicago
platform and candidates, not a dollar
would he get for a campaign fund.
The temptation was rejected Tam
many hoisfed the pictures of Bryan and
Sewau. The D1ut0crats carried out the
threat to the letter. Rich men who had
been benefited hundreds of thousands
of dollars out of the party refused to
contribute a cent to its fund corpora
tons that had made millions out OF
franchises obtained through the favor
of the party denied a dollar to save it's
life; big officials receiving 5000, ST.
600 and $4,000 a year had not a dollar
to give to the organization that gave
them their places.
There was, however, one high salaried
official who sent contribution, but it
was 50 small as to seem q mockery, and
was returned with the remark that, al
though the usual sources of campaign
contributions were turned against the
Organiza ton, there was yet enough
money to pay all the bills, and the re-
mittance was not needed"
According to the Catholic Union the
score will be settled to the full be
tween the tiger and the corpora tions. ?
The Union declares that it is in a posi-
ton to say that the following bills viii
be introduced as bona hde measures
to be fought to the bitter end by the
whole power Of Tammany. First, 8
cent fare bill for the city; second, 11z OF
1 cent a mile fare for the state; third,
a telephone reduction bill; fourth, a
gas bill controlling gas mOnOpOlists.
The Union says also that in retalia-
ton for the financial boycotting Tam
many will, in 1897, defeat Platt's great

principles of the fathers had been main.
tained in all their purity, Judaism had
always been in the front rank in the great
march of progress and reform. He said
high tribute to the Jewish pioneer of Los
Angeles, and said it was to their bravery
and sef-sacritice that the magnificent re-
suits of today were due.
Herman w. Frank the treasurer of the
congregation, then read list of articles to
be deposited in the cornerstone. These
consisted of old papers of 1872, recently
taken from the cornerstone of the original
temple on Broadway, number of modern
and ancient coins donated by Herman W.
Hellman and others, the constitution and
bylaws of the various Hebrew benevolent
societies, lists of officers of the various
Hebrew organizations and copies of the
daily papers of March 3.
Mr.. Frank WAS instructed to deposit the
articles in the cornerstone at the corner of
Ninth and Hope streets, and as he did 80,
MIR. Newmark stepped up to Mr.. Hellman,
saying that, on behalf of the CONGREGATION,
he authorized him TO lay the stone, at the
same time drawing from his pocket a
silver ,rowel. which he presented to the
gentleman for that purpose. The trowel ia
of the regulation size, of solid silver, and is
inscribed as follows: "Presented to Mr.
b. W. Hellman, president of congregation
Bnal b rlth, by its members, March ! 3,
1896" MIR. Hellman. surrounded by the
trustees and the building committee of
the congregation, laid the stone in a
thoroughly workmanlike manner. after
which he cleaned the mortar from his
trowei which iie will hereafter treasure as
souvenir of the occasion.
Rev. A. w. Edelman was next intro
duced by the master of ceremonies. Mr..
Edelman is the pioneer rabbi of Los An.
geles, he having been engaged in his work
here for thirty.four years. He organized
! the first Jewish congregation in Los An
geles in 1852. and ten years later of!iciat-
ed at the laying of the cornerstone of the
original temple on Broadway, and has
been thoroughly identified with the growth
of Judaism in Southern California. Some
ten years ago he severed his connection
with the congregation B'nai Birth, and has
since lDeen identified with the orthodox
element. Mr.. Edelman delivered an elo-
quent address, congratulating the congre-
CATION on it's growth and increasing pros
perity. and assuring them that they had
his best wishes for the future. He said
that he had always favored reform, though
not on the lines of some others, and he
was with them heart and soul for the ad-
vancement of the cause of Judaism in Los
Angeles. Mr.. EdelInan was listened to
with the closest attention. Among the
congregation were many men and women
whom he had instructed in the principles
of their religion when they were chill

dren, and when he took his seat he was
generously applauded, and many congra-
ttIa,ed him warmly on his liberal utter
anceS.
A hymn by the choir, with the benedction
by Rev. MIR. Solomon, closed the interesting
ceremonies.
