when man was struggling to get little
home-trying to make himself capitalist
in small way-that the laws of the State
should be shaped to assist him in that
direction
He said. every man who was a citizen OF
| the United States should make it his duty
to understand all laws, and try to discrim.
mate carefully all issues he is called to pass
| upon. The Heath amendment is simply
that the railroad companies are to be made
to pay q per cent. of their gross receipts in
lieu of all other taxation. That is the
proposition of two of the leading Demo-
Gratis of the State, English and Greathouse
who drew ii up, and the same was pre-
sented to the Legislature by Mr.. Heath. II
passed both houses of a Democratic ad-
ministration. At their very first State
Convention held thereafter they go back
upon their own act. | myself, like Gen
eral Carey, am opposed to the Heath
amendment as | now understand it. Let
US see how it operates in other States be-
| fore we adopt it.
| General Carey refers to my anti Chinese
record. 1t is true l took an active part at
the solicitation of our citizens in the anti
! Chinese movement. We had the massacres
in Wyoming and Washington Territory.

an anarchial movement, and then stepped

lous times He was not heard of; but in
his speech the other night he takes bold
and open stand on the Chinese question.

rather late for him to get into the agita-
tation business after the agitation is all
over.
If the Democracy carries the election,
and secures a majority in the Legislature,
there is no power on earth that can prevent
George Hearst from going to the United
States Senate. He stood up in the United
States Senate and worked and voted in the
interest of the hydraulic miners, and
against the interest of the valley people. Is
he the man you want to send to the Senate?
man with millions of money and no
brains? He is the only man that is before
the Democracy for that position. The Re
publicans have four candidates for the po-
sition of United States Senator. | will not
promise to vote for any man for that posi-
ton. If | am elected the man who gets my
vote for United States Senator will have to
be solid Republican, sound on the n.y.
draulic mining proposition, and against the
importation of Chinese.
He said there never was a fairer or
squarer ticket put up in this county than
the present one. 1t was good from top to
bottom, and should receive the united sup
port of the Republican party.
CHARLES N. FOX.
The next speaker introduced was the
Hon. Charles n. Fox, of Alameda. His
speech was eloquent, well-timed and fire.
quently applauded. He said the State
ticket was worthy the confidence of the
people, from top to bottom and from what
he could learn the county ticket was
equally as good. We ought not to go off
and scratch man because he was not our
first choice. They cannot all be your per-
sonal friends. Everybody has his friends,
and each individual wants to be heard in
the nominating Convention. Tickets are
not made up of one mans friends. 1t is
the representation of a party that repre-
sents principle and policy which is to
control our State and nation.
He highly complimented Elwood Bruner,
the candidate for District Attorney, as be-
ing man of broad views, large ability and
devoted to the best interests of Sacramento
county. He said that when the Act for the
maintenance of the State Agricultural So
ciety in the Legislature was hanging upon
the ragged edge, Elwood Bruner Il en- a
member of the Assembly, threw himself
into the breach, and with his eloquence
and determined persistence saved the So
ciety to the State, and its permanency as
an institution to Sacramento city.
Support the entire county ticket, because
they are the candidates of party whose
policy and principle has made this country
the grandest nation upon the globe. The
policy of the Republican party lifted the
nation from the slough of despond, and
nation impoverished through the same
policy was given a treasury bursting with
gold.
The speaker reviewed at length all the
great reforms of the Republican party, and
said We, as Americans, ought to sup
port the nominees of the party for in this
way only can we name the policy that the
majority of the people adopt as the policy
| for the nation"
He reviewed the Chinese question from
the time the first Mongol arrived in San
| Francisco down to the present time, and
showed that he had always been the
| adopted child of the Democracy.
lie asked the support of all Republicans

them such illustrious names as Lincoln,
Seward, Chase Stanton, Sherman, Sheri-
dan, Garfield and Blaine.
