Many Changes Made.
HE KISSED THE BABY.
Senator Fairbanks Falls Into Old Time
Campaign Method.

| Sacramento, Cal, Oct. 5.-Senator
Fairbanks has started upon his return
| trip from the Pacific coast, but al
though considerable distance was COW
cred, he did not get far on his way
yesterday. Stops for speeches were
made at Palo Alto, San Jose, Liver
more and Stockton. Senators Fair
banks and Fulton made speeches at all
these points as they did also here. At
San Jose and Stockton they spoke from
the court house steps and at other
places from the rear platform of the
Edgemore. All the speaking places
commanded views of Semi-tropical veg
citation and the temperature did not
fail to perform its share in maintain
ing the illusion that the party was in
the far south land, for the heat was in
tense all day.
one of the most interesting occur
enceS of the day was at LiVermore,
where after the conclusion of the
speeches, a pretty little girl of three
years, named Adelaide johnson, dress
ed in white was lifted to the platform
to present to Senator Fairbanks bou-
quet of roses as large as herself. In
making the presentation she recited n
little speech assuring the vice presi-
dent candidate of her love and her nope
for his success. When she concluded
the senator caught her in his arms,
lifted her up to the platform railing
and kissing her, said, referring to the
child, There is something worth all the
speeches in the world
The incident and the sentiment was
loudly applauded.
At Stockton where was held the
largest and one of the most enthusl-
asticf meetings of the day, Senator
Fairbanks was interrupted just as he
was about to close his speech by some
one in the audience who shouted:
'fTell us about the bull pens, refer
ring to the labor trouble in Colorado.
Senator Fairbanks responded by say
."There is a fellow who has some
thing in his head. but 1 don't know
what it is
He then entered upon an exploita-
ton of the Republican party attitude
toward labor, declaring that mo party
from the time of George Washington
to the present day has done as much
for the laboring man as has the Re
publican party
At Livermore the schools were dis
missed in order to permit the children
the visiting senators were welcomed
by the footing of dozens of steam
whistles. The meeting here was pre-
sided over by Governor Pardee and
was large and enthusiastic. Both
Senators Fairbanks and Fulton spoke,
and both gave attention to the gen
eral issues of the campaign. Senator
Fairbanks dwelt especially upon the
credit for the Republican party in its
efforts to maintain sound money.
Farewell to the Coast.
Truckee, Cal, Oct. Sat this point on
the summit of the Sierra Nevada noun
tains at o'clock this morning Senator
Fairbanks babe adieu to the state of
California and to the people of three
Pacific coast states. The stop was made
before breakfast but no formal speech
was made. This was due to a mistake
in announcing the meeting for the even
ing instead of morning. There were,
however a number of men at the rail-
road station when the train pulled in
and these the senator greeted with
hearty handshake. In a few informal
words he expressed mis- appreciation of
the hospitality that had been every
where on the trip extended to him. 9th
er stopping places of the day are Carson
City, Nevada, and Reno at night.
