California Republican Convention

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-The Republican
State convention met at Sacramento yesterday
afternoon Hon. A. A. Sergent presided. The
convention adopted strong anti-railroad resolu-
tons which were supported by Geo. O. Gorham
in vigorous speech deDouncing the Central
Pacific. Gov. Pacheco was withdrawn as
candidate for Governor and L. IT, Phelps was
nominated by reclamation. j. NJ. Cayis was
nominated for 1t. Governor, and y. ii. Hallett
for Secretary of State.
The following resolves were passed.:
Resolved, That the letter addressed by the
President to the chairman of the PennsylvanlB
Republican State Convention upon the subject
of his successor is full refutatlon OF the slam
ders of those who charged him with intriguing
for reelection; that we accept it as explicit as
to final settlement of the third term agitation
created by our enemies solely to arouse Jeal-
ousies and dissensions in the Republican party.
Resolved, That we have undiminished con1-
dence in the wisdom, patriotism and integrity
of the present chief magistrate of The United
States q. s. Grant, and joia our political
brethren throughout the Union in the cordial
and earnest support of his administration in
the fullest recognition of his illustrous career
in the military and civil service, and In con-
demnation of that rancorous party spirit
which prompts his and our enemies to as un-
considered and unjust attacks on him as those
to which his great predece ssors, Washington,
jackson and Lincoln, were subjected during
their administrations.
Resolved, That the freedom of the state from
ecclesiastical control is of equal Importance
with the maintenance of religious freedom from
state control; that the common schools and In
situations of the state were established as
preventative of the crime and poverty which az
tend ignorance, and we will tolerate no inter-
ference with it from any quarter, and that any
effort to divide the school fund for the purpose
of snpnortinr seotarian schools with patrons
thereof shall be met with all the resistance in
our power.

New YORK. June 1I-Evening.-The temper o.
speculation to-day turned entirely upon reports in
regard to the railroad situation. Early in the day
some weakness apparent particularly in a few
Western stocks reports from Chicago of the Hi
nois Railroad Commissioners reducing the rates for
passengers and freight. This was succeeded by a
sharp advance in the shares of some trunk lines and
a sympathetic Improvement in the market, based on
reports that Mr.. King, Vice President of the Balti-
more 81 Ohio Railroah Company, was in town by APP
pointment to meet Messrs Scott q Cossatt, the Pres
ident and Vice President of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, with the object of settling long existing diff
culties. At first il reported that conference
had taken place during the morning. Then rumor
had it that they were to meet this afternoon and
finally it was stated that consultation was to take
place this evening at the 9Th Avenue Hotel with
Jewet of Erie arbitrator. The good feeling which
the reports stimulated afterwards partially lost
by the announcement that the Erie Company would
on Monday reduce the price of the round trip tickds
between New York, Rochester, Buffalo and Niagara
Falls more than three dollars each. This reductan
may have been something more than the annual re-
ducticn the excursion ticket, may mean that
the inauguration of still sharper contest in the
railroad war is not settled. There was considerable
gossip in connection with the reported meeting be-

As Good as New.

The above expression is peculiarly applicable to
the individual whose system has been renovated by
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. If any man or woman
in this community has friend suffering from the
various pangs which indigestion, nervous disease,
weak back or kidney troubles can inf1ict, the most
rational advice he or she can give is-"Procnre the
Bitters at once, and use them regularly" If this
advice is needed, guarantee that in short time
the invalid will teel "as good as new," SO marked
wrought by this peerless invigorant, nervine and
diuretc. 1t not only re-establishes digestion and
activity but e4pels by the natural outlets of the
body those acrd elements in the secretions which,
when absorbed into the blood, produce rheumatism,
govt and neuralgia. Moreover, its gentle, though
effectual action admirably fits it for the use of
females in delicate health who require tonic slim
