Great Enthusiasm at Republican Meet.
ings-Notes of the Campaign.
a Republican meeting was held last
evening at Chris. Zimmerman's corner,
Twelfth and E streets. Mr. Zimmerman is
an old-time Republican, and he never does
anything by halves. He erected in the
street, opposite his store, an elegant speak
ers' stand. 1t was decorated with the La
tional colors. covered with an oriental
canopy of the same material. The col.
umns were entwiped with ivy, inter
spersed with smilax and roses and
decorated with japanese lanterns OF
all shapes, sizes and colors in pro-
fusion. The First Artillery Band dis
coursed fine music and couple of anvils
at the street crossing took the place of
artillery, and round after FOUND OF Repub-
lican powder was burned. When the time
came for calling the meeting to order, H /.
S. Beals was chosen Chairman.
Several hundred citizens were present,
one hundred Of whom were ladies and oc-
cupied seats prepared for them. The
speeches were short and well received, and
the meeting lasted until after 10 o'clock.
The speakers were: Henry L. Buckley,
candidate for Police Judge (. C. Hart and
w. NJ. Petrie, candidates for the Assem-
| bly,; w. A. Anderson, ex-City Attorney !;
| J. o. Funston, Robert T. Devlin, William
| B. Hamilton, candidate TO succeed himself
as County Clerk Elwood Bruner, candi-
date to succeed himself as District Attor-
ney; George W. Ficks and Isaac Joseph.
| The last named is a recent convert from
the Democracy, and when he gave his rea-
| sons for getting out of the old, rotten and
unseaworthy Democratic ship he was loudly
applauded. Taken all in all, it was one of
the best political meetings held in this city
during the campaign
The meeting of the Republican candi-
dates. at Flcrin. last night, was grand
success. Over 800 were present, and many
heretofore pronounced Democrats came
forward and said they were for Harrison
and protection. One of the interesting
features of the occasion was the martial
music" furnished by George Jones' light
battery, consisting of four anvils, which
were skillfully manned by eight enthu-
siastic Republicans.
AT the meeting of the Harrison and Nor
ton Hat Brigade last evening II. |. Sey-
mour was elected First Lieutenant, E. B.
Carroll Second Lieutenant. Commander
Guthrie ordered ali members to appear foi
drill at Armory Hall, Saturday evening,
October 9th. Invitations have been re-
ceived from Placerville, Stockton and
Woodland to visit them. A full meeting
is desired Saturday evening for the purpose
of considering the invitations and for drill.
A drum corps of ten young men, sons of G.
A. Il. veterans, have joined the brigade,
and will appear in the uniform of the CLUB
Hon. a. Canlinetti, State Senator from
Amador and q candidate for Presidential
elector on the Cleveland ticket, addressed
laru of Tfali oil Al
Democratic Headquarters last evening
Although native of California the Senator
speaks the Italian language fuently, and
from the frequent applause he received,
there is no doubt but that he made favor
able impression upon his audience After
the meeting he was banqueted at the
French restaurant by his Italian citizens
He told them that there was an 'old
Roman" on the Democratic ticket, and that
pleased them Immensely.
E G. Hart, candidate for the Assembly
from the Nineteenth District, has returned
from trip in the interest of the industrial
display, to the towns of Red Bluff, Willows
and Tehama. He reports the Republicans
active at all those points, and says each
will be represented by large delegations in
this city on Wednesday next.
The talk all over town yesterday in DO
litical circles was the significant Cleveland
free trade letter of the English Minister
A Democratic politician, who was consid-
erably exercised over the matter, said
"We were sure of New York by $4,000
votes, but this letter will
give il to Harrison by 50,00O"
The excursion rates to the industrial
parade on Wednesday next from all ex-
cursion points ON the railroad will be half
fare for the round trip.
One of the best speeches of the campaign
was made by James T. Chinnic at Elk
Grove Thursday evening. Mr.. Chinnic is
a master mechanic, born, educated and
served his time in England, and he can tell
what free trade will do for America. He
is fluent speaker and one of the best men
on the stump in the State.
Republican meeting will be held at
Twenty fifth and o streets, Monday even
ing. October 29th. 1t will he addressed by
c. 7. Jones, Elwood Bruner, Jud G. Brusie,
II. L. Buckley, (. G. Hart, j. 3. Devine, G.
o. Bates, G. w. Baker, w. A. Anderson. r.
7. Devlin, G. w. Hancock and others.
There seems to be an impression in the
minds of some that the industrial parade
and torchlight procession on the evening of
the grand State rally, October 3lst, is to be
composed only of industrial exhibits and
uniformed clubs. Such is not the pro-
gramme, as it is expected that every ciii-
lieves in protection of American labor,
American industries and American homes
will fall in line and carry a torch. as evil
dence of their earnestness for the election
of Harrison and Morton. 1t is confidently
expected that the citizens division will ey-
ceed in numbers all the others, so those
who are not nor can conveniently become
members of the uniformed clubs will not
be out of fashion, and will be able to ioin
as effectively in the enthusiasm of the oc-
casion.
1t is pretty certain that the uniformed
Republican clubs of this city viii within a
day or two after the State rally reciprocate
the favors shown by visitors by running
excursion trains to some of the neighbor-
ing cities. The Republicans of Stockton,
Placerville and Woodland are contemplat-
ing having local rallies shortly after the
State rally, and the proposition to go 10
these demonstrations meets with much
favor from all the uniform clubs. The
Glee Club and Hat Brigade have each ap.
pointed committees TO report on excursions
to other places, and the Fire Brigade are
also considering the feasibility of such
trips. Sacramento ought to be able to
send delegation of four hundred men in
uniform, and as many more citizens to
either of the towns named. The disposi-
ton seems to be to whoop it up all
along the line. Our boys are getting their
blood up, and will make things lively from
this on to the close of the campaign.

fare by rail to Sacramento on excursion
trains on Wednesday next 1t will be as
