REPUBLICANS AS WELL AS DEMOCRATS,
And if am l feel proud that you have honored
us with your presence, and trust we may say
nothing to offend If we do not succeed in con-
vincing you that we are severally entitled to
your suffrages. All good citizens of our common
country, all patriotic men, whether Republicans
or Democrats are aiming at the same great OBJ

of her every interest, the reconciling OF all con-
tlicting and opposing elements to harmony OF
effort success and happiness that must lay COM
ing generations under debt of gratitude to the
present for the blessing transmitted to them.
This being true, why should we not meet upon
common ground, free of bias and prejudice, and
kinding the fires of patriotism within our
bosoms discuss the situation and determine
from the light before us what is our duty in the
pending crisis? LApplause.I

the Office or State Senator from this county
Further, you are all familiar with the facts of
my candidacy. l did not desire it. My anbi-
ton was in altogether different direction. and
nothing but a crisis in my party could have in
duced me to accept it. Against my wishes, in
defiance of my judgment as TO what were to my
personal interests and even political aspirations,
yielded on the sole consideration that it was
my duty to my party, and promised in accept
ing the nomination to use all honorable efforts
within my power to be elected. That much
will do but no more. Now that have accepted
desire the suifrages of my fellow-citizens and
pledge you here that l want it for no other pur-
pose than to serve you honestly and faithfully
and to the very best of my ability. and, by so
doing, reflect honor upon you and thereby
honor myself. Applause.

me encouragement to go forth and do battle for

duct Applause.
True, YOU have candidate of your own Mr..
Dray. He is my friend. my i:eighbor, and a
splendid gentleman. / have no word about him
but praiseworthy. / am entitled to, and will
deal with his political record in the past. and
his present relations to this campaign. | deem
this legitimate, proper, in fact incumbent.
First, as to qualifications. He is banker, or
connected with the Sacramento Savings Bank, a
corporation of this city, and has been ever since
he left the Assessors office of this county. He
made good Assessor, so far as l know, and
while receiving salary from this county fitted
himself for the position he now holds in that
bank. He became an excellent judge of lands
l have no doubt; and from the fact that he has
held that position so long it is evident he has
never made mistake against the corporation
the bank, L mean-wben lending its money to
those whose necessities required them to
mortgage their house, their farm and their
lands to secure aid. He is the right man
in the right place, then, for the bank.
He is somewhat older than l am in fact, he is
not as able to Withstand the exposures of a
canvass as can; for l believe the first trip he
took indisposed him. so that he could not fill
his second appointment. | do not know
whether he was chilled by the reception he re-
ceived, or whether il was other causes that in
disposed him. IApplause.l l am young, and
yet I am old enough-yes, old enough under the
laws of my country, had good fortune so Or
dained and had been endowed with the abil-
ity to now hold the highest Office in the gift OF
the American people. Z he laws of my country
thus recognize the fact that ! have arrived at
that age when my Judgment should be suftl-
ciently matured to serve you in this humble
hood. | am able physically; think am
quick enough at conception l think ! under
stand parliamentary laws and usages l think
know enough about law, happening to be an
humble member of the profession, to make
you industrious, capable and compe-
tent Senator. l can draw my own
bills. | can urge their passage on the
floor of the Senate without timidity, and in a
manner creditable to myself and my constitu-
eney. 1t is in the line of my profession. am
trained to q degree at least i'll constituting laws
and testing them by rules of decision i'll use by
the Courts, and ought at least to be permitted
for these reasons to say in this respect, the office
is more in keeping with my avocation than my
friend Dray. Applause.
l am as free from every association, business
ties, business interests, corporation joint stOc k
associations and combined capital as the new
born babe. There is nothing TO consult but my
duty to my country and my constituency, and
no business or other relations or interest to in
terfere with or influence my conduct or my
vote upon any question coming before that
Senate.
can stand there the impartial representa-
tive of all classes, all interests but with one
purpose, that is, to give no interest no class the
advantage of another. When capital attempts
to invade the sanctities of labor, can without
hesitation lift the staying hand. When corpor-
ate powers attempt TO infringe upon the rights
of the people or gain an advantage | am free
to say, Stop. thus far shalt thou 60 and no fur
Their. Full of but one desire and that is to re-
coneile all interests, to balance the scales be-
tween all conflicting elements, and. in fur
therance OF my purpose, to serve you rightly,
industriouSly, and make you n respectable rep

expressed myself, that one seeking this Office
should forecast his course as far as possible |
