At a late meeting Of Republicans held
in San Francisco the following address
explaining the objects in Wow was
adopted
The Republican Central Club of San
Francisco send greeting to the Republic
cans throughout the State, and earn
cstly calls upon them in view of the
political signs of the times, and the
Importance Of early preparation, to
organize at onco Clubs auxiliary to and
in harmony with the Central Club in
San Francisco in every voting precinct
within the State, to the end that q full
and complete representation may be
had in the State Convention, soon to be
called by our State Central Committee,
for the purpose Of choosing delegates to
the National Republican Convention,
called at Chicago next May, to nominate
n candidate for President and Vice
President Of the United States. The
necessity for vigorous united action is
| apparent, and the time for action has
| arrived, while it is believed that the
| Republican County Convention Of San
| Francisco, in September last, truly and
fully expressed the wishes Of the Re-
publicans of California upon this impor-
tant subject by tho passage Of a resolu-
| ton, as follows: "That we arc in
| favor of the nomination of General U.
S. Grant as tho candidate Of the Ma
tional Republican party for President
at the ensuing Presidential election,
and that we recommend all Republican
Clubs now organized or hereafter to be
formed within the State to indorso him
as our choice, and instruct their dele
gates to use all honorable means to
secure his nomination" Tho selection
Of delegates is of vital Importance, and
great care should be exercised in such
selection. This State should be ably,
wisely and honestly represented in the
National Convention by men whose
political integrity is known, not by
schemers for political ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
nor self-constitutcd would-be %dictators,
but by mon of sound heads and honest
hearts, we'll tried in the front ranks Of
Re~publicanism, fresh from and out Of
tho ranks Of the peoplc-men who will
not turn n listening ear to tho voice Of
camp.followers-mcn who will dare to
march with firm tread in the advance
guard, bearing aloft our time-honored
standard, demanding universal liberty
and perfect protection under the law
for all men within our natural ~jurisdic-
ton; impartial suffrage, as the inherent
right Of every intelligent loyal citizen
upon American soil; full and equal pro-
lection at oil hazards, to all citizens,
native or adopted-once free ard under
the ample folds of the American flag,
forever entitled to its protection /; faith
full and rigid economy in tho admins
tration of public affairs, an %indispensa-
Bile prerequisite for official position; just
protection to tho interests of labor, the
real foundation element of individual
wealth, national prosperity and human
progress; ceascless protection and lib
eral endowment Of our well organized
system of universal education, tho great
and safe bulwark Of civil and religious
liberty F; just and equitable taxation Of
all species of property, q practical guar
autee of perfect equality and genuine
fosterer Of individual honesty and faith
fulness to public obligations; tho main
tenance OF the national credit, by a
faithful fulfllmcnt of oil our obligations
according to their letter and spirit; o
paramount obligation, and as o relief to
the present burdens of the industry of
the country, tho adoption Of degree Of
taxation sufficient only to pay accruing
interest and current expenses, with SUBJ
stitution Of simple and economical
modes Of collection, and consequent
dismissal Of an army Of revenue officers,
whose salaries-to say nothing of doubt
full pcrquisites-are enough to impover-
ish the nation ; speedy reconstruction
and full admission, upon just terms, of
all the States recently in rebellion, and
representation in Congress rs soon as
they shall honestly comply with the
terms prescribed by the representatives
of the national will.
Republicans, frienjs-all who believe
in the principles enunciated by the great
National Republican pnrty-we cordial
ly invite you to join>with US In our eff
forts to again place ourselves upon the
platform Of our distinctive organization,
that we may wisely profit by the disas-
trous results Of the late political cam
paign and steer clear Of tho rocks upon
which the late Union party of this State
was wrecked by clique of selfish
schemers who were thrust upon us dur
ing the rebellion, and who introduced
and obtained control Of the organizn-
ton by the introduction of a system of
tactics worthy only Of our Democratic
opponents in their days Of darkest degra-
dalton. The frauds through which the
nominations Of the Union party were
obtained are fresh in the minds Of all,
and the perpetrators are justly branded
by your emphatic condemnation. We
are now called upon again to meet the
same influences, manipulated by the
same class who led tho Union party into
d~isgraceful defeat and buried it with
themselves in hopeless oblivion.
Let us not allow ourselves again to
be led by scheming without honesty,
policy without principle, or ambition
without wisdom. There can be but
WV hesiohoA phAsASo ~ shS SSAhad6 NNu-
test, the one known as Republican, the
other Democratic. Tho one upholds
the principles that carried US safely
through the war; the other struggles to
overturn them. Glad in our political
armor let us do battle for the living is
sues of the Republican party, with all
its wisdom, strength and prestago, its
renown, its honored scars, received in
ierco contest in forum and on bloody
fields for liberty and justice; and finally
its full and complete triumph over ig-
norance, barbarism, human degrada-
ton, false opinions and vaulting am
bition.
The Union is justified and preserved,
after thirty years struggle, by our glo-
rious party o fprogress. Let us united
ly stand by our gallant Captain as
as he stood by Us and his coun-
flag, saving thereby the imperilcd
life Of the nation.
