THIRD WARD REPUBLICAN CLUB.

Last night a large and enthusiastic meeting
was held at the old County Courtroom, to
organize a Third Ward Republican Club.
Long before the hour appointed for the meet
inp a large number of citizens had assembled,
and at the time of opening the proceedings
the Courtroom was filed to overlooking.
The Grand Army Band was in attendance,
and added greatly to the enthusiasm by en-
| livening music.
The meeting was called to order at s
o'clock by c. A. Stevens, of the County Cen
tral Committee, who briefly stated the OBJ
ject of the meeting, and announced nomina-
lions for temporary Chairman in order. L.
B. Mcfarland nominated Ed. f. Taylor,
who was elected by reclamation. Mr.. Taylor
was greeted with applause on taking the
chair, and delivered short and earnest ad-
dress.
S. Scion Holl nominated Win J. Davis
for temporary Secretary, and E. |. Robinson
nominated Gus Weimau, and both were
elected by reclamation.
Il. L. Robinson moved that a committee OF
five be appointed for the purpose OF selecting
permanent officers of the Club. The motion
prevailed, and the Chair appointed on the
committee L. /. Robinson. Il. b. Mcfarland,
S. Scion Holl, f. L. Ames and John Rider.
On motion of Judge Mcfarland, the com
mittee were granted two weeks IN which to
prepare report to be submitted TO the Club.
On motion of W. c. Van Fleet, the COM
mittee named were authorized to submit to
the meeting in their report plan for the Or
ganization of the Club.
After music by the band I. b. Mcfarland
was called upon, and addressed the audience,
during which he was frequently interrupted
with applause. He congratulated the party
on the nomination of Garfield as he believed
that with him as leader the party will be
united. As a third candidate no more judici-
Gus choice could be made, and he would
guarantee that whoever might have been
nominated st Chicago would be q better man
than the Democrats viii put up.
Grove l.. johnson was called for, and said
he was pleased with the enthusiastic meeting.
He believed that Sacramento county was
good for l ,006 majority for Garfield. He be-
lieved iu thorough organization as means
of accomplishing success. The Third Ward
has been the banner ward of the city, and he
hoped we would keep up our reputation.
We have hard fight before us, and work
must be done. The Democrats are deter
mined TO carry the State. They desire to Sc
cure majority in the Legislature, so as to
have the control there, which will give them
the United States Senator. We must be
more enthusiastic, and must work more than
the Democrats, if we are to succeed. We
must not ostracise anyone who desires to DIN
the party, but must see that our neighbors
vote with US for Garfield, Arthur liberty and
law.
j. r. Watson being called for said he
claimed to be an old-line Republican. He
did not believe in apologizing for the action
Of the National Convention, for he had not
found Republican who was at all dissatis
fed with the nomination of Garfield, and
there are great many Democrats who
will support our ticket. The Republican
party is an aggressive party, and it has ac-
complished more for good than any political
party that has ever existed in the country.
The Democratic party is on the defensive,
and this fall it will again have to meet
united front.
On motion Of s. S. Beede a committee of
three was appointed to select an appropriate
hall in winch to hold the meetings of the
Club, and the Chair appointed on the COM
mittee S. S. Beede, G. A. Stevens and W. Z.
Gerber.
Adjourned until June SOth, at o'clock, to
meet at the same place.
MORE SHAD CoMNG.-News has been re-
ceived by the Fish Commissioners that Liv-
ingston Stone and assistants, of the United
States Fish Commission, left Washington on
the 18th instant with 100000 young shad IN
his charge. His destination is Sacramento,
and he should reach this city tomorrow. lie
will be met here by members of the State
Fish Commission, who will receive the fish
and accompany Mr. Stone to Tehama, where
the party will deposit the shad in the Sacra-
ment0 river at q point near that town which
was some time ago selected by the expert
enced fish culturist, Seth Green, - the best
spot for the purpose. Il Is the same place
where the first deposit of young shad was
made few years ago. That the location was
good one is evident from the fact that the
fish prospered and shad have since been
taken out, grown to extraordinary size, at
several places in the river and in San Fran
cisco bay along the Oakland shore. Not
long since one weighing a pounds was caught
at the n street landing in this city. 1t is
understood that the State Fish Commissioners
intend to renew the planting OF striped bass
in the river, its former planting having
proved successful. The bass in the next con-
signnent viii come from the Neyersink river,
New jersey.
