COLONEL T. v. EDDY ON
THE REAL VITAL ISSUE
Tells a Large Republican Gathering
at Monterey That It Is the
Single Tax.

MONTEREY, Oct. 21.-One of the larg-
est political meetings ever held in this
section of Monterey County occurred in
Bagby's Opera House tonight, the citi-
zens Of Monterey and Pacific Grove and
the Republican candidates for Monterey
County offices uniting in an enthusiastic
greeting to Colonel 7. V. Eddy of San
Francisco, who had come to address
them.
The Republican candidates rally that
was scheduled to occur at Pacific Grove
tonight was postponed TO enable all to
attend the Monterey meeting. Inc opera
house was packed and the stage on winch
house was packed and the stage, on which
both towns, was deliberately decorated
with American flags. A large number or
ladies were present
When the speaker of the evening was
introduced he announced that he had
come to Monterey to speak OF the issues
of this campaign and would deal with
the subject from two standpotnts-hrst,
what Judge Mcguire says is the vital
issue and, second, what is really the
vital issue. Then, along the first line,
he spoke of the railroad question out
lining the terms of the so-called funding
bill, which he demonstrated was not a
funding bill declaring that Mcguire was
using 1t as a subterfuge to arouse the
feelings of the people and so blind them
to the real isSue-the single tax. In con-
nection with this he showed the Socialistic
tendency Of what he called THAT vicious,
fantastic doctrine" and read extracts
from Maguires speech in Congress reia-
tive to the immigration bill, as published
in Thursdays Call.

EUREKA VALLEY DEMOCRATS.
Hefting Jimmy Phe1an's oflce-Hunt-
tiers Are Punctual in Their
Attandance

The honest voters of Eureka Valley
turned out last night to attend a meeting
of netting Jimmys nominees at Tween
ty-eighth and Church streets. The small
hall was fairly well filled, as it was known
that the picked orators of the party would
be punctual in their attendance, as it is
nip and tuck with the majority of them
to get a sufficient number of votes to en-
title them TO get a place on the official
ticket at the next election.
John Fennell, a modest young man, had
the honor of occupying the chair. He lost
no time in setting the campaign ball
a-rolling by introducing r; Z: Doolan, the
nominee for Superintendent OF Streets.
Doolan spoke his piece and skipped out,
making room for Leonard Stone. E. P.
Mogan, nominee for Judge of one of the
Police Courts, with his good-natured face
John P. Dunn was quite at home on the
sand of Eureka Valley, as II reminded
him of the initiation into politics under
'Dinnis" Kearney in days long gone by.
1t is a most fortunate thing for Mr.. Dunn
that there is a railroad company, as he
never fails to speak of what should be
done to this, gigantic corporation. When

Equalization the railroad company Will be

accustomed speech, but this time he said
not a word about the honest laborine

A MOB OF SOLDIERS
TENNEssEEANS AND IoWANS
TRY TO RUN KEARNY STREET.
They Claimed Grievances Against
the Houses and Proceeded to
Take Revenge.

A wild mob of Iowa and Tennessee SOL
diers, numbering about fifty, entered the
Eureka dance hall at 5S7 Kearny street
last night and proceeded to clean out the
place in the most approved fashion. They
first charged on the bar and in a few
minutes it was complete wreck. They
next went up into the boxes, tore down
curtains and hangings and everything else
which could be torn down and broke,
everything breakable that they could lay
their hands on, giving the excuse that
they had been charged too much for
to the house and wanted to get even"
They then visited several other resorts
along the line and wrecked every saloon
they entered. The police finally got the
mob in hand and ten of them were safely
landed in the California street station

ALAMEDA STANDS TRUE.
Republican Party Managers Predict
the Usual Big Majorities From
the Encinal City.

ALAMEDA, Oct 21-The local Re-
publicans are much encouraged at the
political outlook in Alameda. According
to the best information obtainable, Ala
media will roll up this year its usual ma
jority for the Republican ticket. E. X.
Taylor, City Attorney and candidate for
State Senator, who has made a careful
survey of the field, says:
The Republicans of Alameda are pull
ing together better this year than they
of a big majority in this city are most en-
couraging. From my observa tons, | am
satisfied that the head of the ticket will
carry the city by $50 majority. Oscar
Rogers, for Sheriff, and j. B. Barber, for
Tax Collector, both being Alameda men,
will run ahead of their ticket. Their ma
jority will easily be from 800 to 1000. Frank
Jordan, candidate for County Clerk, will
carry this city, but his majority will not
be as large, owing TO the fact that his
opponent, t. c. Stoddard, is an Alameda
man.
1.-The friends of Congressman Hilborn are
taking an interest in the Stoddard fight,
as against Jordan. This is the only appar-
ent disaffection among the Republicans,
but 1t is more than offset by quite for
who did not take kindly TO the fusion idea,
and who are openly knihng their county
candidates"
from the Second District promises to be
somewhat close. The Democratic nominee,
Charles Heyer, has enlisted the German
some hard work; but the Republican cam
paign managers are not worrying, as they
state that the majority in the Alameda
end of the district is too big to be over
Supervisor Church, whose district takes
in the west end of Alameda, seems TO
have things his own way in this city.
But few of the Democrats are supporting
John r. Glascock, and those who are do
ing so are only doing it in half-hearted
Tomorrow evening Alameda will give
a reception at Armory Han TO the Repuo-
lican county nominees. The Alameda Re-
publican Club met last evening and named
