Mr.. Sharon alluded to what be called

cratic party has said about the sack.

Mr.. Sharon then alluded again to the

Mr.. Sharon said he had e voted In
California. He was regularly registered
here. He had been exempted from jury
duty In San Francisco because he was o
resident Of Nevada.
It had been said that he favored Chi.

The maledictions OF Mr.. Sharon on
those who thus sought to control tbs
freedom OF the people were fearful. He
wished them all to discuss bis character
freely. He referred briefly to general
issues aud retired amid shouts OF APP
plause.
B. F. Bartins followed with an elo.
ausnt address. Mr.. Bartine had served
in the Second Corps and under General
Hancock; and. while he eItolled him as
a soldier. he had and gave weighty rea-
sons why he should not be elected Pres
ident Of these United States.
Colonel Il. h. Taylor was next called
for and spoke briefly on local issues. II
Colonel Fair was o candidate because he
was a miner. Mr.. Sharon was still more
entitled to the honor. because be was
