to be proud of and inspired with
courage By the acts and declarations Of
the party in California. There are man
illness. courage, independence. vigor, self
reliance and strength in the platform,
and excellent materials in the candidates.
The sustaining of the President against
his slanderers; the outspoken truth con-
corning the South: the treatment Of the
newly-agitated question of retrenchment
and reform in counties, townships and
corporate towns: tho timely allusion to
the questions of assessment and tax
alton; the clear and forcible statement of
the irrigation question; the unequivocal
treatment of the school question: and
the stand EN- concerning railroads and
schemes of plumber, make up the
strongest platform of these days. iufuse

of his genius upon all he touches, and

earnest of their purpose these California
Republicans have nominated as their
candidate for Governor the man who.
with a voice that came like clap of
thunder out Of a clear sky. launched
upon the startled ear of California the
truths Of the extravaganza and folly Of
their public service. Timothy Guy
Phelps, who has represented his State
with honor in the House of Representa-
tives and whose private and public life is
without blemish, whose Republicanism
dates back to the days of Kansas and
whose abilities no man will question,

the issues of the day are honestly pre-
scented and will not be alienated from |
their true champions. We take courage. |
and believe a victory is in store for the |
party over there. See what Jones did |
for Us in Nevada in 1872 He raised the |
battle cry of freedom from the dictations
of monopolies, and what was the result?
He led the party to one of its most glo-
rious sriumphs. The leaven of a new
yigor has been kneaded into the loaf by
these splendid ringing resolutions. All
old lumber and chaff and rubbish: ali

and parasites; all that was eating up the
substance of the party and bringing it

of the dry-ro. has been
cast of, dissected away, swept out and
buried forever. The party is worth
fighting in now; and il viii win.
