More Views Of Citizens-A Republican eau
Gus Declares for Leyee Improvement
The Democratic Convention Pronounces
for the special fax-stirring Speech by
Judge W. q. Beatty.
The good work goes on, and the sentiment
in favor Of leyee improvement grows with
great rapidity. 1t is now perfectly certain
that the proposition for an extra appropria.
ton of SOS, 900 will be adopted. There is an
honest difference of opinion. We assault nc
man for not agreeing with the majority. We
accord to all the right to oppose, and question
the sincerity of no citizen who freely az
nounces his belief.
Our evening contemporary last evening
arrayed list of citizens with interviews)
who, after an afternoon and an evenings
work, were found to oppose the special levy.
In brief hour representative OF the REC
ORD UNION, taking mea at random as he met
them, had an equally as large list. We pre-
sent both lists
OPPOSED TO EXTRA APPRo-lFoR EXTRA APPROPRIATION.

Aud now let US see what these men favor
ing the tax say, condensing their warm ex-
pressions into briefest space possible:
DR.. A. B. Nixon-I was at first opposed to
it. l have examined into the matter, and l
am in favor of the tax. So record me.
NJ. A. Howsrd-You can't do too much
improvement for me.
l.. S. Taylor-rve been through o flood
here, l want to remove all doubt. l wish 1t
was larger sum than SOS, 900 to vote for.

of it.
Il. H. Linnell-Yes; shall vote for and
work for it.

John L. Huntoon-Yes, sir; l stand for
the appropriation.
Judge w. II. Bestty-With heart and soul
am for it. 1t isn't large enough; it will be
the best of investments. This generation
don't know or realize what the threat OF inse-
curity means.
I. H. Wallis-If citizens of Sacramento
travelled over the State as 1 do and heard
what the people cay about us, and why they
fear to come and make their homes with US,
there would not be vote against the propo-
sition. The fear of loss by flood is the great
drawback and keeps population and invest
ment from US. 1 hear it every time go
abroad. Secure the city, and secure conf
dence, population and permanent prosperity.
Frank Swift-Certainly Pm for it. 1t is
the best thing for Us 20 do. I've seen floods
here enough.

for it. 1 knoU the work ought to be done.
Captain j. G. Rodgers-Certainly l am in
favor of it.
Judge J. W. Armstrong-There are full,
good and convincing reasons for it. 1t is the
part of wisdom to vote 1t. l shall vote for
the appropriation.

the appropriation and security.

tax.

sesn by a report elsewhere, last night in
dorsed the special tax proposition, and made
it part of the platform.

Fourth Ward Republicans, made ringing
speech in favor of the tax. He stated facts.
and addressed arguments of crushing force
His remarks are unAvoidably crowded out
until TO- morrow, as also some strong recitals
by L. S. Taylor.
