THE DEMOCRATIC Caucus II
SACRAMENTO.

the Democracy had in Sacramento
on Thursday night. Bro. Casserly
opened the meeting with prayer, (of
the Democratic sort y Bro. HoGe
followed in brief exhortation to the
congregation to do all that they
could to be saved Bro. Roach gave
out the lines of that sweet old hymn,
SO dear to the Democratic heart,
Separate schooling for the children
of the colored people; and We will
let the Sacramento correspondent Of
the San Francisco Post tell the rest.
Says that watchful scrivenir:
Senator Pendergast was then called
upon, and made an impassioned speech
in his best style. He alluded 10 the
services OF the Democratic party, to the
manner in which it had stood against
,nonopolies. and analysed the political
history Of Governor Booth, who. until
recently had been always found upon
the side of monopolis;s. He said this
Booth party believe theirs Is TO be the
coming party, and that it is to take the
place OF the old Democratic party. but
he ventured the prediction that Ii Gov
ernor Booth f,ilsd to secure the great
prize-tbe United States Senate-this
party would - he heard of again. A
wear ago he / III heard Booth speak in
San FranciSco. laIidiny to the skies
General Grant, and declaring that he
was the fittsst man to fl the Presiden-
tial chair. Here was an anti-monopoly
man supporting the impersonifcation OF
monopoly and special privilege. The
Independent party was but the party OF
a man, and as Nebucaadnezar looked
upon his capital, and said. Here is the
great Babylon, which L have buiidad,"
50 Booth looked upon those whom he
had gathered around him. and said,
Here is the great anti-monopoly party
which I have created.
i, was Booth, Booth. nothing but |
Booth, and no party ever had been, or
""ni1 be. built upon one man. |
Senator arley tLen r,na5. n few re- |
marks. He said it was the Democratic
custom to so into caucus, and If was
the only way in which the will Of the
Il. joEity could be ascertained, and the
best course could be discovered. He
called upon Democrats to 60 into caucus
TO select their best man. and to stand by
their nominations.
Senator Irwin spoke in the sa-,- l
strain. He urged the Democrats u
into caucus and make nominations |
WIS not for them to say now that 2 DEM
ocrat could not be elected When they
had tiled and found tina. a Democrat:
could not be elected, il would be time to
cast about and see who else could be
aIected.
Assemblynan J. I. Parker, Of Tue
lmrs, Mono aud Inyo, spoke mkt, and
made 4 few remarks % the same effect
s the preceding speaker.
NorthcOtt said he had not come with
lie expectation Of speaking. but he had
.ome to learn and to act with the Demo-
rats. Democracy was his political re-
i5iOn, and he believed the same of his
olleagues. He and they would act to-
ether with their fellow Democrats in
ny action which the caucus settled ,
pom. All that we had to d. was to Sc
ect good anti-monopely Democrat and ;;
re would not only get the short term but .
ne long term added to it.
Assemblyman Tully spoke to the same !
eneral effect:
WEIGH said he was here under peculiar 8
He believed Casserlv !
be choice OF the people, and in running !
al pledged himself to vote for him :
democrats had urged him at the same :
NE to pledge himself for Dao:a IN case !:
.,ss..., cuu.u not be elected. He had :.
one SO. He could not see how he could
onorably go back on that pledge.
Senator O'Connor said that two years :
% lie was one Of the Democrats who
lstained Booths vetoes. Yet, when he
as running again this year, Booth en- &
favored to elect his opponent, so that >,
= might get one more vote for the Sen "
e. Fox his part, he would be ashamed Il
return to his constituents after voting q
II Booth. unless it was that 10 Demo-
ats of correct principles and clear p
cord could be found to vote for. Il
futile spoke IN the same strain as the a
hers, ana, on motion of PenderSast,
was resolved to meet in caucus on "
Ionday night. 81
So, it seems, our newly married e
lend Jimmy Parker, stood in and u
,oke his small piece like a bold and a
ne Democrat with the wool-dyed Il
rinciples of the Silurian sockdolo- L
,rs swelling within him. But v
-elch, he is aknurly nut-an en- faaf g
