unite TO seiectp and elect good man.
Originally he had bitterly opposed Jabez
Turner, but he had watched his course and
believed he was the right nan. [Applause
Mr.. Alsip said candidates should not be
now discussed, but only before the Committee
of Ninety-nine.
Mr.. Holmes said he was not advocating
Dir. Turner's cause. In Saeramento's posi-
ton party men should choose men of the
best quality. He opposed all chques of five
or six fixing up Conventions and elections. 1t
is now a rapping of knuckles, the issue is
Sacramento and it alone. Applause The
time has come when all citizens should unite
to select good officers for Sacramento. He
wanted the committee to consist of eleven
citizens.
Mr. Watson apologized for being so often
up, but he felt that no resolution could better
suit the men that the meeting does not wish
selected than this one. The seven men can
not get together and get up the 80 names be-
fore the enemy will walk over the course. To
test the sense of the meeting he moved it as
the sense of the meeting that Jabez Turner
should be re elected. Applause
MIR. Smith said Mr.. Watson if friend of
Mr.. Turner had made mistake The meet
ing is not called to name any man. There is
plenty of time to select 80 men to name a
Mayor acceptable to all good citizens. Loud
applause.
MIR. Luce said he believed there was plenty
of time to select the nominating convention
if the names are announced in Friday morn
ings paper. He believed there was time to
unite the whole opposition.
The resolution of Mr.. Smith was adopted,
Mr.. Watson and one other voting nay
The Chair-The ayes appear to have it.
MIR. Watson think they do. Laughter |
G. II. Cummings moved that the Chair
man of the meeting be Chairman of the
Committee of Seven.
Mr.. Tracy said it was impossible for him
to devote the time necessary. If it was pos
sible he would do 1t.
A voice-Pd like the sense of this house as
to whether Chris. Green is the choice of this
meeting Much laughter.
Mr.. Cummings withdrew his motion.
A noisy individual here attempted to
speak, and much merriment resulted. He de-
sired a vote on Mr.. Green's popularity to be
taken, but the meeting laughed him down,
and, under the persuasion of friends, he sub
slider.
The Chair. during this interlude, made up
its committee and announced it, naming on
it Messrs Watson and Flint, among Others.
Mr.. Flint said he had to so out of town
Thursday.
Mr.. Watson declined.
The Chair said he should stand by his APP
pointments.
Mr.. Watson said he had to 60 to San Fran
cisco, but, if it was demanded, he would
serve Applause.
The Chair said he had found that he had
named too many. He reformed the nomi-
nations 50 as to omit Mr.. Watson and Mr..
Flint, and named T. r. Dray instead.
Mr.. Dray said he had Just GENE from the
Third Ward caucus and had been nominated
to run as delegate. He had made no OBJ
lection to it. He was not ashamed of the
Republican party. True, he left it once and
went into the Independent ranks, and he was
not ashamed of that. He felt his first inter-
ests to be with Sacramento. Applause
Had the party stood together from the first
it could have put up an administration that
would have done the right thing for levees
and taxes. He did not know what was
wished of him on this committee. He
wanted to be fairly understood.
The Chair said, after Mr.. Drays state
ment, it would not be fair to ask him to serve
on the committee. He named the committee
as follows J. r. Watson, James Lansing
George W. Ficks, John MeNeill, Daniel
Brown. William Minis, A. c. Freeman.
The meeting then adjourned.
The meeting throughout was earnest, en-
thusiastic and profoundly determined. There
was some effort of those not in sympathy
with it to create diversion but it failed
During the evening paper was circulated
pledging Republicans not to attend the
primaries, and setting forth the objections to
the test, as a means of securing a fair eX-
preston of the party voice. The paper was
readily signed. It had been circulated also
during the day, and it has attached to it the
names of all prominent Republicans in the
city.
METROPOLITAN THEATER. &c Nisida drew
a better house last night. The scenery was
all new and attractive. The hurricane scene
was success as spectacle. The opera,
musically, did not make profound impress
sion. Tonight the Melville troupe appears
in the comic opera fBoccaccio." tits spoken
of SIS having met with great favor when pro-
duced in San Francisco. The piece intro.
duees for the first time here Miss Grace Plais-
tead. Miss Melville appears in the title role,
Boccaccio who was an italian novelist and
poet, was born in 1913. Boccaccio was a very
precocious youth and one of the most brilliant
writers of his century in manhood. He was
fond of gay company, and one of the chief
events of his life was his amour with Princess
Mary, half-sister of the celebrated Joanna of
Naples. It was at her instance he wrote his
romance "Il Filocopo" and "LAmorosa
Fiammetta" It is said that the most licen-
tious passages in his "Decameron were
written at the instance of the Neapolitan
for his wit, learning and extraordinary genius,
and for his amatory verses OF such char
acter the opera of tonight treats, probably in
a very extravagant manner and in thoroug n
burlesque.

PROSPECTS FOR PLowTNG.-Mike Bryte
states that the water has receded from his
ranch sufficiently so that if the weather con-
tinues fine for few days longer he will COM
mence blowing and put in crops this season
as usual. He states that the other ranch
ers in that vicinity will do the same,
and that so far as crops are concerned the
overflow this winter will not, from present
appearances, cause so much damage as was
expected. Should the river rise again, how
ever, to unusual hight, with the levees gone,
it would ruin any crop hereafter sown.
FRIENDLY WARNING. A well-dressed
woman, stranger, and apparently a tray
) eler, has been frightening the Marysvillians
by carrying around bundle containing
dynamite caps, which she was trying to sell.
Our sister city succeeded in getting rid of the
dangerous visitor, and the Appeal thinks she
,, is now in Sacramento. As half the number
! of dynamite caps spoken of would destroy
l any building in the city perhaps it would be
well for the authorities to look out for a
well dressed woman with bundle"
