The County Candidates Address an I'M
mense Meeting in the Wigwam.

Inc county Canuiuetes AuuhcSo
mense Meeting in the Wigwam.
Last evening the Swift and Waterman
Legion, headed by the First Artillery Band,
paraded ] and X streets with torches, and
escorted A. Abbott, Republican candidate
for Railroad Commissioner, to the Wig
wan, at Sixth and NJ streets. The club,
with their fambeau torches, silver capes
and tin helmets, made fine and imposing
display, and the Wigwam was crowded to
its utmost capacity, many ladies oeing
present. The vast assemblage was called
to order by w. ]. Davis, Chairman OF the
County Central Committee, who addressed
himself to the Republican voters, admon-
ishing them all to stand by the ticket and
elect every candidate thereon, all OF whom
were men of responsibility, ability, integ-
rity and honor. He named Hon. }. n.
Young as Chairman of the meeting, and
read long list of Vice-Presidents and Sec
retaries.
In assuming the duties of the Chair, Mr..
Young made a few remarks, returning
thanks for the honor conferred, and intro
duced as the first speaker of the evening A.
Abbott, candidate for Railroad Commits
sioner.
Mr.. Abbott said he would not attempt to
discuss the issues of the day, but would
make some remarks appropriate to the
time and occasion. In speaking of HIM
self, be said he had resided in Sacramento
for FIVE years, he was proud OF the city,
and all of her interests were his now.
Since childhood he had been intrusted
with the fortunes of men without bonds,
and he never had been called upon during
that time to assert his honesty or his integ-
rity. If elected to the office to which he
aspired he would perform its duties to the
best of his ability and integrity. His re-
marks were well-timed, pointed and fire.
quently interrupted with applause.
F. r. Dray, candidate for State Senator
made short address, in which he reviewed
the history of the parties, and claimed that
at this election every Republican should
vote the entire ticket. Every vote cast for
a Democratic member of the Legislature
was vote for George Hearst for United
States Senator. Hearst was an enemy to
the people of this section-an enemy to the
farming and dairy interests of the State.
L. S. Taylor and H. W. Carroll, candi-
dates for the Assembly, both made short
and eloquent addresses, asking the support
of all Republicans for the entire Republi-
can ticket, and pledging themselves to do
all in their power, if elected, to pass all
needed legislation for Sacramento county.
If they went to the Assembly, their votes
should be cast for some tried and true Re
publican for United States Senator.
Elwood Bruner, candidate for District
Attorney, made one of the best speeches
that has been heard in this city during the
campaign. He wrought the audience up
to pitch of enthusiasm until their ap-
plause grew into wild cheers and hurrahs.
He handled the Democracy without gloves;
told what they have been, what they now
are, and what might be expected of them
in the future He said the Democracy were
utterly ashamed of their present State Ad
ministration, and utterly ignored it in their
platform. He said the Republicans would
roll up an immense majority in the State,
and every man on the county ticket would
be elected. The Democracy were in hopes
that Swift would be defeated by Wigginton.
Don't believe that, he said, for if the Re
publicans ever disintegrate, and go in that
direction, it will be under the leadership of
a man OF their own party, a true Amer
lean, such as are only found in the ranks of
the Republican party, and never under the
leadership of a Democrat, demagogue,
and man who deserted the flag of his
country when the life of the nation was in
peril.
He said Abbott, who was the idol of the
young men of California, the admiration of
the older men, and he would be elected by
a large majority.
Joe McKenna, he said, was the best little
man that ever represented California in
Congress, and this district would return
him by a majority of from 4, 600 to 5000.
The speaker then took the county ticket,
and naming each candidate thereon pre-
sented their claims upon the party for
united support.
Short addresses followed by H. L. Buck
ley, candidate for Police Judge; VIM. B.
Hamilton, candidate for County Clerk; ].
L. Huntoon, candidate for Treasurer ; J.
II. Miller, candidate for Auditor and Re
corder; A. L. Frost, candidate for Assessor.
