party on their lightning tour OF North
ern California was an hour and halI
late reaching this point. 1t was sched-
uled to arrive here at O'Clock TINS
afternoon, but did not come until 4:3o.
Prominent Democrats, with two Jour
tn-hands and band of music, escorted
the party to the Marysville Theater,
where Kirby S. Mahon Of Yuba CITY,
ex-District Attorney Of Suffer County,
acting chairman of the meeting, IN
PRODUCED the Little Giant" to d large
audience, many ladies and Republicans
being in the gathering.
Mcguire began with thanks for the
hearty welcome of the citizens ana
reference tie the floral decorations
which, he said, evidenced the interest
of the ladies in the camp OF the De
mocracy. Referring to the hoarsehess
of his voice the speaker said II was due

daaI of his own talking while Gage
was wearing out several tfEoatS pouSnI
by the railroad. Then followed Sc

fighting shoulder to shoulder with
Jeffersonian Democrats and Popul1sts.
There was every reason why the three
should be united and no reason why
they should not be united. The battle
of 1896. he said, was being fought over
again in California.
To Hon Marion de Vries, candidate
for reelection TO Congress, the speaker
paid a handsome tribute, eXh0rting his
auditors to stand by him and the DEM
ocratic nominees for the Railroad Com
mission and Board of Equalization. He
also spoke a good word fer the leglsla-
tive nominees, Ostrom and Hicks. He
referred to the attempt of the Repub-
licans TO eliminate all issues save the
single tax, of which Barnes knows
nothing, Gage less, knight still less
and Van Duser less than any man liv-
ing. In conclusion he promised to fill
the office of Governor with the same
fairness, fearlessness and impartiality
which he claims characteriZes his past
record.
The other candidates on the State
ticket were introduced, each in turn
making speeches.
Following closely the adjournment of
Maguires meeting in the Marysville
Theater, Hon. TREY l.. Ford, candidate
for Attorney General and Hon. Frank
MCGOWAN addressed the voters of Yuba
and Suffer counties from the same
platform this evening. Ford began
by refernce to his early life, which
was spent in Sacramento Valley, where
he ldDOI6u DIT llIIluS the sun anu IaI
vesting to get the first few hundred
dollars which enabled him to begin the
study of law. He reviewed the his
tory of the country, comparing exist
ing conditions under successive admin
istrations to prove that prosperity fol-
lows under Republican regimes. The
balance of trade is always in favor of
the United States when the protective
tariff Of Republicanism is in vogue,
while, with equal regularity, it is
against the country when tariff for
revenue only prevails He pointed out
the inconsistency of Mcguire, who
stands on three antagonistic platforms.
He then paid tribute to Gage, and
concluded by calling attention to the
opportunity now presented to Califor-
mia through territorial expansion,
which means the trade of the Orient,
and urging his auditors to stand by
the administration.
Hon. Frank MCGOWAN pointed to the
superiority of the Republican State
platform over that of the "Confusion''
party. The speaker exposed the record
of White and Mcguire on the war reSo-
1utionS. also Maguire's record as a Sin
gle taXer," referring to the latter as a
man who voted against a bill exclud-
ing anarchists from this country. He
combated the argument that the State
Republican ticket is a railroad ticket
and closed with an eloquent reference
to the war with Spain and the patriot
ism and valor of the American soldiers.
RED BLUFF. Nov. A big crowd
greeted Judge Mcguire and his COM
panions at this place to-day, but the
lack of enthusiasm in such a crowd
amounted to a frost. The platform
was erected on the railroad reservation,
and Messrs. Hutchinson, COnley, An
dreWs, Woodman, Mulholland and
Runckle were in turn presented by
Chairman Mccoy, all of whom lauded
Mcguire. After each had said few
words Judge Mcguire wasNintroduced.
who started by complaining the
flowers, and said this was a contest
between allied monopolies and repre-
sentatives of the Jeffersonian Democ-
racy. He said he would not be able to
discuss the details of political issues for
lack of time and then proceeded to oc-
cupy much time in talking about Cen
eral Barnes and the late war, instead
of telling the people what laws he had
pushed through Congress during his
six years term.
Mr.. Mcguire asserted that Southern
Pacific attorneys were doing Mr.. Gage s
talking, and he again mentioned Cen
eral Barnes as the ablest and most elo-
quent attorney in the employ of the
railroad. but forgot to tell that Gen
eral Barnes is also the attorney of the
Examiner, whose special train is bear
Ing Mr.. Mcguire through Sacramento
Valley. He declared that the silver
question is not settled and will not be
until settled in compliance with the
platform declaration upon which stood
Mr. Bryan, the worthy successor of
Thomas Jefferson
He then went over his railroad ha-
rangue, and showed his inconsistency
by attempting TO discredit Congress-
man Barham after admitting that his
amendment in regard to the Central
Pacific debt was good one He stuck
to the one issue which the Examiner
has mapped out for him to speak upon
and repeated many times that the rail
road question was not settled by Con-
gress. He did not deny his single tax
views, but declined to discuss them, be-
cause no party had declared for the
single tax: but this did not prevent him
from trying to engraft them upon the
laws Of the land while in Congress. He
thought the Republican panty as now
constituted should be wiped out of ex-
istence; but this may have been from
a fear that it might wipe him out OF
existence next Tuesday.
