were made, and the following resolutions pre-
scented and unanimously adopted:
ReS0tred, That our representatives in the Sen
ate and Assembly are requested and instructed
to oppose all vindictive, extreme and unreason-
able or " cinching bills proposed as being I'M
necessary and calculated to discourage the in
vestment of capital in public enterprises, and
thereby hinder and delay the progress and de-
velopment of the country.
Resoired, That the early completion of the Ore
gon branch of the Central Pacific Railway will
be of incalculable benefit to the people of this
county, and we will, by all honorable and just
means, encourage the early completion thereof;
and in view of the unparalleled energy and sue
cess attending our fellow-citiZens having the
work in charge, we indulge the hope that the
hills surrounding Ireka will soon echo to the
whistle of the locomotive.

this place a very large vote was poiled and re-

follows: Thomas Ward, George W; Vineyard, J.
O. A. Ballard; John F. Hall, Joseph o'Neil, c. F.

such cases, viz: the newspaper men will be
crowded so that il will be difficult for them to
do their work. The special committee of the
State Central Committee, having the details in
charge, say the San Francisco papers can have
only one seat each. At least thirty newspapers
will be. represented, actually or by pseudo
journalist. joke is reported of some poll
tcians of Sacramento. They have been max
