PERSONAL REVIEW.
A few words in reference to myself and
have done. As L said before, | served the
people of this county as an Assamblyman, and
| then did my whole duty. l did my full
duty when I served as Senator. But for the
jocose advice of tbs Sacramento DaiLy Bee to
all candidates, would say that 1 pointed
with pride to my career in the Assembly and
Senate. viii say that confidently rely on
my record. did my fall duty to the peope
of this city and this county. did not al
ways please the politicians. l cid not try to
please the politicians. l simply tried to do
| that which l thought was right, and when.
ever | felt that | was doing right | knew
that 1 was helping the city and county of
Sacramento, that had honored me with place.
| am confident that an examination of my
record will show that did more-and l say
| it not to boast, but because it is true-that /
| did more for the city and county of SacrG-
mento in the Assembly and Senate than any
| other man that has ever filed those positions.
l ask you to examine the statute books and
all the records, and you will find that I am
correct. l see some Democratic friends in
the rear Of the nall whom l might call upon
as witnesses on this proposition. Ask the
Directors of the State Agricultural Socisty,
view the State Park, examine the drainage
canal, inquire OF the people around Folsom
as to the State Prison, and you will find that
| my efforts in all these matters contributed
more than those of any other person to Sc
cure these deserved objects 10 the people of
| this county. | am therefore entitled to your
| votes, because have proved myself faithful
| TO you.
DUTY OF SACRAMENTO VOTERS.
! It is your duty at this time, as think, to
| select men for Office, to select men for the
| Legislature, and particularly for the Senate,
who are able to work for Sacramento; who
are able to protect and to assist Sacramento.
Occupying the peculiar position that this
county does, as the capital city, having within
its limits the State Capitol, the State Print.
ing Office, the State Prison at Folsom. and
other public works, we are asking more in the
line of appropriations from the State than most
any other county, and cannot succeed in any,
thing without able and experienced legislators,
La addition to that, the next session OF the
Legislature will be called upon TO divide the
State into Assembly and Senatorial districts,
and it will require good, hard work on the
part OF your Assemblymen and Senators TO
retain the representation which this county ia
entitled to in thu Legislature.
In selecting men for the Legislature YOU
should bear these fac.s in mind. Vote for
m IN who can protect Sacramento. I have
shown what could do, and you know that

reelected l will labor in the future, as have
In the past. faithfully and earnestly for Sac
ramentc. L ask your votes-I am not beg.

Tho Cfica is a pecuuiary loss to me,
but | like il; ike debate; enjoy it;

ton. l know that it will be for the interest
of Sacramento to re.elect me State Senator. A.!

DUTY OF REPUBLICANS.
1t is the duty of Republicans in this city
aud county to vote and work for the entire
Republican ticket, and to work fer It hard,
and to work for it day and night. The
necessities of the party and of the pee.
pie demand it, and especially is that 60
from party point of view in the election of
State Senators. The Senator's elected this
year have vote in the election of United
States Senator. It is necessary that Re-
publican should be elected TO the United
States Senate from California to preserve our
party ascendsncy in that body. Therefore,
in voting for State Senator remember that
you are voting also for United Ststes Ser
ator; and if you are e Republican you will
vote the Republican ticket, because by SO
doing you secure two votes for Republican
United States Senator. The good news from
Oregon and Maine has cheered every heart,
and has made me feel enthusias'ic Il yoUr
duty as Republicans to labor from now to
election day, that We may wave the answer
back to Oregon and Maine that California ig
