POLITICAL POINTERS.
THE COUNTRY DELEGATES CAUCUS AT
ELK GROVE YESTERDAY.
They Insist Upon Share of the County
Ofices-Resolutions Indorsing
Senator Stanford.

The near approach of the County Con-
vention and the result of the recent prl-
mary election have stirred up the hre
under the Republican kettle, and the polit-
cal porridge is fairly bubbling over. The
Convention will be held to. morrow evening
in the Clunie Opera House, and the candi-
dates for places on the ticket are doing
some very lively work among the delegates
chosen to that body.
It is said that the candidates whose
hopes of preferment rested upon the election
of the delegates who were defeated at last
Saturdays primary election will not go be-
fore the Convention. The hint has been
thrown out that an independent move
ment is in process of incubation, but ii
is not believed that anything serious will
come of it, Such a result would, of course,
be gratifying to the Democrats, who might
hope thereby to elect their legislative can
didates. There is little likelihood that any
number of Republicans would lend them
selves to any course that would make such
q thing even remotely possible.
Delegates Meeting at Elk Grove.
Pursuant to the notice published in yes
terday's RECORD UNION, there was quite

fair and equitable representation of country
candidates Upon the county ticket; also, to Sc

fered the following, which are the same
resolutions adopted at the Elk Grove meet
ing TWO years ago.
WHEREAS, The interests of that parto sacra-
mento county known as 1.-The country have
been repeatedly ignored by the city in the mat
ter of enosing of candidates for the various OF
fices OF the county; and whereas we believe
that harmony is necessary to the success of the
Republican party of Sacramento county and
that in no other way, in our judgment, can COM
plete harmony prevail than by allowing the
county falr representation upon the county
ticket; therefore, be it
Resolued That this Convention do concede to
the claim of the county. outside of Sacramento,
representation OF at least three nominees upon
the county ticket.

following as substitute therefor

County Convention assemblies, and there to de-
cice on no less than three or four candidates
which the county delegates are requested to
support. and to use all fair means in their
