REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING AT WOOD
LAND.

The Republican Central COMMITTEES Of
Yolo county called mass meeting of tie
party instead of a convention for the purpose
of electing delegates to the State Convention.
The meeting was held on Saturday, and was
well attended, there being representative Re-
publicans present from every part of the
county, and the large Courtroom of the
Courthouse was well filed. Judge P. H.
Sibley was called to preside, and upon taking
the chair delivered wellconsidered and
timely address on the political situation and
gave many good reasons why every lover of
his country should support the Republican
candidates for President and Vice President.
I. n. Hoag was elected Secretary, and G.
w. Pierce. Jr., Assistant.
A committee on resolutions having been
appointed, reported the following. which were
unanimously adopted by the Convention
Resolred, That we indorse the efforts of the ad-
ministration Of Rutherford B Hayes to bring about
peace and prosperity in every part OF the Union the
financial policy which has restored confidence and
prosperity to the country, and the judgment and
success with which he has administered the civil
service.
Rcsolued, That we fully indorse the platform and
resolutions Of the National Republican Convention
which assembled at Chicago June 8, 1850 and we
pledge our hearty support Of the candidates, Gen.
eral James A. Garfield and General Chester A.
Arthur, for President and Vice President of the
United States.
Resolred That we hail with pleasure the recent
order OF General U. S. Grant to the Boys in Blue TO
rally for the election of Garfield and Arthur and we
recognize in this order evidence Of the patriotism
and wisdom which have always characterized its
author.
ResoLUed, That We believe the permanency of re-
publican government depends greatly on the right
of free speech of all citizens That we charge the
Democratic party with deliberate and persistent acts
OF violence in suppressing those rights.
Resotred, That the late efforts of the leaders of
the Democratic party In Congress to open the doors
to fraud and intimidation in the national elections
proves that that party IS not to be trusted with the
administration of the Government.
RESOLVED, That the Democratic party have re-
peated their efforts OF 1872 of deceiving the people
by nominating Union man for the Presidency.
The people at that time understood their intended
deception and frustrated it; to-day their motives
better understood and their deception will be as
surely and effectualy defeated.
Resolved, That We view with alarm the continual
importation OF coolies into the Southern States and
We charge upon the Democratic party insincerty in
their pretended friendship toward the laboring
classes OF California while thus opening the way for
increased immigration OF Chinese.
Res0tUed, That We recognize in H. d. Boruck, the
late Secretary of our State Central Committee, a
stalwart Republican of great executive ability,
whose efforts for the of the Republican party
cannot be too highly appreciated.
The delegates to the State Convention are
ID. II. Woods, William Bowen, Robert Rob-
erts, L. Dietz, w. A. Brown and Frank A.
Pedler. There was good deal of enthusiasm
manifested throughout the meeting, and at
the adjournment three hearty cheers were
given for Garfield and Arthur.
DEBRIS WoRKs.-A writer from Bronco,
Nevada county, inquiries when and where the
work for stopping the mining debris is to be-
gin, as several workingmen desire to obtain
employment in connection with it. Commits
sioner Niles Searles in reply to similar in
quiry says: "Notices are now in course of
publication calling for proposals to construct
dams on the Yuba river, near Marysyille, and
on Bear river in the vicinity of Wheatland,
bids to be opened and contracts let August
9th. Contracts will also be let August 18th
for constructing, repairing and strengthening
levees on the Yuba and Bear rivers. Labor.
ers desiring employment will, in my judg-
ment, do well to await the letting of contracts
before proceeding to the designated points, as
some delay may occur while contractors are
preparing for operations. The Directors of
the drainage district are not authorized to
employ men, and can only let contracts for
contemplated improvements after thirty days
notice"
