A WORD TO THE WISE.
Business Men Make Appeal to the Re-
publicans.

Business Men Make an Appeal to the Re
publicans.
The following strong appeal from prom
inent business men of San Francisco to all
Republican items has been made public,
and is deserving OF the most careful con-
slderation:
To the Republicans of San Francisco:
The undersigned, who feel n deep interest IN the
success of the Republican party at tile approach.
ing election, deem this suitable time 10 lay be-
fore their Republican fellow citizens certain mat
tiers of importance
1t is admitted on all sides that the recent
State Convention OF the party was in the highest
degree creditable, and that the State ticket
which it placed before the people, and the plat
form which it adopted, have been heartily APP
proved by the party throughout the entire State.
That Colonel Markham, our candidate for Gov
ernor, aud the whole ticket viii come TO San
francisco with good majority Is beyond doubt.
IL remains for the Republicans of San Francisco
10 see hat this majority Is not overcome by those
methods and means which have been too often
successfully resorted to by the Democratic party
In this and other large cities of the Union. The
mere suggestion OF this matter calls TO mind
numerous Instances of political cheanery and
fraud planned ana carried out by the political
managers and masters of that party, whose names
here AID elsewhere have become by-Word OF
TepsOach TO the American people,
We suggest that The most important matter
requiring Immediate attention IS the nomination
OF municipal ticket and local candidates who
Will represent the morality and the best Interests
of our party. This Will create enthusiasm, in
spire confidence and bring out the whole Repub-
lcan strength 10 effect this result representa-
tive conventions must be chosen. The County
Committee has ordered a primary election for
delegates on September 18th. Let every Repuo-
lcan who cares 10 secure good nominations 20
to the polls on the 29ih, Monday next, and vote
for delegates, having due regard to the selection
oil capable and worthy men. In this way the
party can secure the nomination OF city ticket
aud Candidates for the legislature who can be
heartily supported by the Whole party, and who
VIII be elected.
Experienced officers in our party have already
called attention 10 the danger OF extensive
frauds i'll the registration Of voters. For some
reason an effort has been apparently made TO
dlssuade voters from registering at the new CITY
Hall. The pTecnct boards sit for five days, and
when registration ceases but fifteen days remain
to canvass the lists Tor the detection of fraud IL
the registration Is crowded into the period of
precinct registration opportunity for fraud VIII
be greatly increased, as our registration officers
have shown. Let every Republican, therefor e.
register at once at the new CITY Hall. The daily
press has pointed out The facilities and ad-
vantages afforded. The cars are convenient; il
only takes TWO minutes when there.
Fellow Republicans: This Is our opportunity
TO aid our party. We have not done our duty
until We have done all that we can. Let US then
give some time and earnest attention to primary
organization and to the SIM lie political duties
Which citizenship imposes. In This way we can
effectively aid in curing the evils OF municipal
politics and misruie, and individually and col
lectively assist in securing the triumph OF the
great Republican party, which Is aud has been
characterized by consistent patriotism and 10y
ally, and identified with the highest advance
ment of'political morality.
