SOUND MONEY AND PROTECTION.
SOUTHERN COUNTIES TRUE TO
REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES.
The People Will Cast Big Vote for
the Nominees of the st. Louis
Convention.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. Hon. Ro-
mualdo Pacheco, Ex-Governor and Con-
gresham, and formerly United States
Minister to Central America, has just
returned from campaign tour through
some of the southern counties.
The territory through which he trav-
eled was thoroughly familiar ground,
since it was in this portion of the State
that he was born and grew to manhood.
With pretty nearly every Spanish
American family of prominence resid-
ing there the Governor is connected by
ties of relationship, which fact rendered
his tour all the more pleasant.
The Governors trip, however, as al
ready indicated, was not made for
pleasure altogether, but for business,
his errand being to address his coun-
trymen, more especially those of his
own Spanish-American blood, in the
interests of Mckinley and Hobart and
sound money. Judged from this point
of view, too, his trip was a complete
success, and he returns filled with en-
thusiasm and confidence.
Il have no hesitancy in saying" he
remarked this afternoon, that all
neighboring counties ds l visited, the
feeling is most strongly for Mckinley,

the majority of the votes will be cast on

good Democratic friends Of mine did
not disguise from me that they antici-
pated nothing but victory for Mckinley
and sound money.
Then, too, everywhere you see men
wearing the Mckinley button-three or
four of them at least to one who dis
plays a Bryan badge, and-mora signifi-
cant still-Democrats who have ALWAYS

perhaps, but they show how the wind
blows, just the same.
The Republicans are finely organized
in the south and are doing excellent
work In San Luis Obispo and else
where they have splendid semi-militarv
organizations. in which the Younger
members of the party particularly take
great pride. Everywhere is enthusiasm
