COUNTY CONVENTION.
THE PLATFORM AND THE NOMINEES
OF THE REPUBLICANS.
The Republican County Convention met
yesterday at noon in the Metropolitan
Theater. The Convention was called to
order by Jerome C. Davis, Chairman of the
County Central Committee. On motion of G.
7. Jones, L. B. Mcfarland was chosen tenn
porary Chairman, who made brief speech Of
thanks and congratulated the Republicans Of
Sacramento county on the bright prospects
before them Iapplausel, not only in the
county but in the nation. The Democrats
say we have no nation, but We say, before
God, nation. [Applause. Whatever reasons
there may have been heretoforef for Republicans
to differ, there is no reason under the sun
why any man who has ever been Republi-
can should not vote for James A. Garfield
[Applause.l He reviewed rapidly the posi-
tions of the two great parties, and sketched
the history Of each, in which he declared that
no repentance was true which admitted its
error and remained in the party, the rebellious
acts of which makes repentance needful. He
said the banner of the Republicans must be
upheld until in every section of the land
every citizen may vote and speak as he
pleases, within the laws, as freely as he may
to-day in Sacramento. He compared Gar.
field aud Hancock. and declared that the
latter, while soldier by vocation, and fair
one and an honest man, probably, must, if lie
gets into the Democratic ship, sail it by
orders of its villainous crew, or it will cut
his throat and throw him overheard. APP.
