ratification of such ticket as had been
nominated at Chicago. In common with
others he had hoped for the nomination of
James G. Blaine [applause], but after think
ing calmly of the situation he believed that
the best possible nomination had been
made. He referred to the glorious ancestry
of General Harrison. His father, grand
father and great-grandfather had borne
conspicuous parts in the history of the
world. He was proud of the emblem
adopted by the Republican party for this
campaign-the American flag. With it
they need have no fear of the red bandana.
The merchants of Sacramento fully Endorsed
the practical work done by the Convention
in Chicago.
HON. ]. c. BRUSIE
Was loudly called for and was received
with cheers. He said that if ever the Re-
publican party was called upon to make a
determined fight it was now. The Demo-
| cratic party was attempting to destroy all
| the good done by the Republican party
during twenty-four years of wise and patri-
otto government. The National Conven-
ton had nominated men who could stand
in the face of demogogues and damn their
free trade heresies. He demanded three
cheers for Harrison and Morton, and they
were given with will. His speech was
short but to the point.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY ELwooD BRUNER.
| Was loudly called for and was greeted with
three cheers as he came upon the
stand. 1t was no difference to him
| which one of the candidates before the
Chicago Convention was nominated. lie
! cared not for the men. The issue at stake
was such that he could not help but vote
| the Republican ticket, no matter who the
| candidate was. He was for Tippecanoe
and Morton, too. He said that he had
been tainted to-day with the statement
that Harrison favored the Chinese, and
proceeded to show that the Republican
| party was more opposed TO the Chinese
than the Democratic party. When McKin-
! ley moved an amendment to the Mills tar
| if BILL providing tor tax on all lumber
| brought into this country which was man
ufactured by Chinese, the Democrats in
| Congress had voted against it to a man.
| Harrison had been leading his men on the
| heights of ChicamauGa when Cleveland
sent substitute into the same fight This
was campaign of issues and not of men.
| Harrison was not MS first choice nor his
| second choice, but he had been the choice
of the party after conference of six weeks.
| Never was there witnessed such a scene as
that in the House of Representatives to-day
when the announcement of Harrison s
nomination was made. The question of
wages, under free-trade rule would win the
| fight in this campaign. The Democrats
| said that we must reduce the surplus. 1t
amounted to only 100000 per year,
and he was in favor of spending that sur
plus in the defenses of the country.
HON. F. D. RYAN
Responded to the call and made brief
| speech. He was proud that he was Re
| publican. 1t was TO that party that we
owe the liberty and the blessings we en-
| Joy. He was somewhat disappointed that
they did not have at the head of the ticket
James G. Blaine, but they could congratu-
late themselves upon the fact that they had
been given men who had always been true
and loya to their country and party. The
head Of the ticket came from long line of
| illustriouS ancestors, who had fought for the
| principles OF this Government But greater
| than the question of man was the issue
of protection. If they were loyal TO Blaine
they would be true to the principles which
| he represented and that was protection to
American industries. The position of
| General Harrison on the Chinese question
| in the past would not operate against him
| now. Men of both parties held the same
views a few years ago, but they had changed,
and now understood that California was
TlSuL Ou lHdI question:. Inc hepuDllCdn
party was true to California on that issue
He asked all to stand up for the principles
| of the Republican party, and for the nomi-
nees-Harrison and Morton.
F. R. DRAY
Made brief speech. He opened his re-
| marks with the statement that the next
| President of the United States would be a
| Republican and patriot. The man who
had been in the Presidential chair for the
| past three years was not patriot, and had
| never been. Ben Harrison had volunteered
| to serve his country in the army Cleve-
| land was drafted and sent substitute. He
was the first instance of man rising to
| such a position who never did single
thing for his country. Cleveland had no
| backbone. He signed an order to return
| the battle-dags, and took it back SO quick
| it made his head swim. He would take
back his platform before the campaign was
| over. Clevelands backing was entirely in
the South. The South wanted free trade.
They had no interest in manufactures.
Their interests were against those of the
North. The growth of the North was a
menace to the South. Their interests were
entirely opposite, and Cleveland was for
| the South and not for the North.
In closing the meeting Judge Beatty
called for three more cheers for Harrison
and Morton, which were given with will.
