PASADENA, Oct. 22.-A fair-sized au-
dience gathered at the Republican wig
wan last evening to hear James Nc
Lachlan, candidate for congress, and
General Chapman Of Tehama. McLach-
Ian, the first speaker. dwelt upon his
congressional record, telling Of the bills
he had voted for and how by some snug
Cling clause had been inserted in the
harbor bill appropriating $S.0O0,000 to
Santa Monica, though the speaker had
supported it thinking it was altogether
for San Pedro. He and his friends had
succeeded in getting $4,000 for San Pc
dro. He said that in order to restore the
good times of four years ago we must
restore the policy of protection. The
money question Is a Populist measure
and unheard Of before this campaign.
He had been, nominated, five years ago
on a free silver platform, but he called
attention to the fact that during sew
enty speeches of his he had never advo-
Gated the coinage of silver at the ratio
Of l6 to /. In congress-, however. he had
felt in honor bound to. support silver.
The Republicans had Established the
only true bimetallism. Gold and silver
must be kept in circulation at the COM
mercial ratio. He quoted Senator Tel
Ter as practically admitting that gold
would be driven out of circulation by
free coinage Of silver.
General Chapman, the second speak
err made short address, predicting the
majority for Mckinley in San Francisco
to be from 5000 to 10000. He believed
Los Angeles would go Republican. The
crime of 1873 had nothing to do with the
Industrial distress of the present day.
He closed with an eulogy Of the Repub-
lican candidates.
