! Charles A Sumner was next introduced
and said Ladies and Gentlemen Have
YOU read the Democratic platform: Do you

| IL is the best reading matter you can obtain.
You ought TO take it to bed with you, and if
| you are bothered with unpleasant dreams,
| wake up and read few sections; it will do
you good. The Central Pacific Company
have-and let no man for moment presume
that they have not-hosts Of talented men in
their employ. Bring them on, trot them out,
| put them right up here on this platform /; We
want to see them and discuss with them the
| issues now before the people. We will see
them and they will hear from Us before
| the 9TH of November next. Have You
seen the ticket: Don't you like it? l
| like it. The men on that ticket most
most Of them, l have been personally ac-
| quainted with upwards of quarter Of a
century. They are all honorable men. If
any one has anything to say about those men
| let them come right up here On this platform
and say it. They have not shown you their
men on the Republican side, but we have
trotted out our ticket and you can have G
| four months squint at our men. The San
| Jose Convention saw fit to put me on their
| ticket, and l am here, and will remain until
| the 18th of November next, and don't you for
| get it. L expect every man before me to-
night will on the 9TH OF November next go
to the ballot-boz and there deposit his ballot
according to the dictates of his own con-
science according to his own convictions
II he does not, he should be drummed out
of the country and exported TO China.
| We believe in the doctrine that the people
| are the sovereigns. Every man in the State
! that has ballot will have lick at my friend
Glascock and myself in November. Ii you
cast vote for or against US, according to the
dictates Of your own conscience, all night. 1t
| looks fearfully like it just now, that we will
receive sufficient number of ballots. Well,
have you read the platform? Its good read.
| ing, read it. 1t presents to the people the
exact position the party will hold on the Chi
ness question. The leaders of the Republic
cans in both houses voted in favor Of the Chi
| nese. / don't desire to strike plume from
| any mans esp who stood up for that bill.
Frank Page is the smartest man in Congress.
He lives in house for which he pays 5000
month rent for, gives 81, 900 champagne
suppers once week. and does 1t
Frank is ere of the smartest
men in the United States. The Democratic
platform says we don't wait the Chinese
here at all. You send me to Congress, and
will introduce q bill that will do much in that
direction. We appealed for years for help,
and no assistance came. We were arraigned
and charged with inhuman treatment. Elect
the Democratic candidates to Congress this
fall, and we will do something, or make it
mighty hot for them. The Chinese propose
to flood this country, and il the Democracy
does not stop it there will be Mongolian

this same doctrine in this city twenty six
years ago. AT that time was red-hot Re-

cry. Now / am red-hot Democrat, be-
cause 1 dstest white slavery. 1t appears
| that every man who disagrees with the REC
ORD. UNION il demagogue or fool. The
Central Pacific Railroad was not built by
private capital. but by the Government. The
Democratic party in its platform says the
| matter of freights and fares shall be regu-
lated. You send me to Congress aud will
see that the fare is reduced or know the rea-
son why. will introduce a bill for that pur-
pose, not the second day, but the first. We
will have the bill repesled that was passed
for the C. P. Railroad in 1862. They are
waiting for Glascock and Sumner in Wash,
| ington now, and don't you forget it. / tell
| YOU fellow citizens, the grangers down south
neon business. Wal. until the ballots are
counted. If Congress reduces che fares and
the Railroad Commissioners the freights.
California will be prosperous. They
say throughout the State that in
| Sacramento no one dare express
himself on railroad questions. l don't be-
| lieye il. l think l know the people of Sac
ramento too well to believe such an assertion.
In 1862 I was resident of this city. and at
that time was engaged in running seven by
nine Republican newspaper. They say 1 am
a crank Send six Democratic Congressman
| from California to Washington and we will
soon convince our constituency that we are
not cranks. Fellow Democrats, as you re-
dHce the charges on freight you increase the
traffic. The Ceatral Pacific would make
more money if they did an increased
business ahd charged less freight.
The Democratic party, in their plat
form, declare war against all monopolies.
In the course of his speech, MIR. Summer, in
| = feeble.forcible way, INDUCED in denuncia-
| tions Of Ex-Governor Stanford, &. 2. Hunt
ington and Charles Croker, but failed to
establish any relevancy between the abusive
TRADE against these gentlemen and the politi-
cal Issues before the people. As whole, the
speech is identical with that delivered by Mr..
| Sumner St other points in the State, and did
not NEST the expectation Of the audience in
| any essential particular.
| At the close of Mr.. Summers remarks, j..
| w. Armstrong was introduced. He said
| Fellow. citizens: Owing to the lateness OF the
hour 1 shall detain you but moment. was

heartily indorss the platform of the Demo-
cratic party and also the ticket they have
nominated. 1 hope all good Democrats will
do in November next what propose to dc
support the entire ticket.
