glorious triumph on election day. [Great ap-
piause.
Citizens OF Sacramento it has been your high
privilege to witness one of the grandest scenes
on the face of the earth. You have seen the
untrammeled representatives of majority of
the people of a State comprising more than
million of persons in the act of selecting the
officers who are TO rule over them. There were
assembled in the legislative halls of this COM
monwealth d body of men who will compare
| with any who ever met in any part of the
world. There were collected here between 600
and 700 freemen, representing the free COM
monweath, who came together untrammeled
to select the governing officers of free people
have a profound confidence in our American
system of governing by political parties.
have sympathy with so-called r formers
who scoH at polite al parties and politicians.
The highest privilege man has is to take part
in politics, and our system of governing by
political parties is the grandest ever desired by
/ freemen. II is a characteristic and feature of
this system that the majority must rule And
SO it is that we hold our conventions, deliber-
ate and canvass our favorite candidates, and
when majority of the representatives of the
people. collected together. declare for one, the
whole of US acquiesce in that declaration. We
are all. therefore, for Colonel Markham to day.
tApplsuse-HearI heari In a few days there
will meet at San Jose Convention composed of
| representatives of the other great political
| party, and they will perfoIm the same duties,
| and go through the same ceremonies which
,
fore the people of this commonwealth eaGd-
dates for the various State offices, and then the
people of this great State will canvass the re
| Spective nominees, and ON election day the ma
| jority will declare for one or the other. If our
| candidate shall be chosen, as | believe he WILL
! he will become the Governor of the whole PEG.
| pie, but If the candidate of the Democratic
| party shall be successful we viii give him.
/ when he snail be installed, our confidence and
! our support. One word more. In behalf Of our
| dear friend Mr.. Morrow, whom love as a
| brother knowing his character, his devotion to
Republican principles, and his confidence in the
wisdom of the Convention which has met here,
say in his name that | unhesitatingly pledge
him to the support of Colonel Markham and the
whole Republican ticket. IGreat applause
Three cheers were proposed for Colonel
Markham and w. w. Morrow, which
were given with will.
F. L. Coombs was next introduced, and
said:
me to expand my voice beyond the limits of
this vast audience. ! do not believe that you
desire at this time to hear any political
let me say that l hope at some future time to
meet a Sacramento audience, and talk upon
the principles involved in this campaign.
believe that Sacramentans have reason to con- |
graduate themselves upon the selection of the |
candidates upon our State ticket. 1t appears to |
me that you can take to your hearts the great |
consolation in that you have selected from |
the highest position upon the most |
sacred department of the Government |
l refer to Judge Beatty. lCheers] That is !
equal to nomination for Governor or for any |
other officer upon the State ticket, and is COM
pliment TO your intelligence and your Republi. |
canlSm. | believe that nearly every section of |
the State should be likewise congratulated, be- |
cause there has been as fair and just selection |
from the different sections as could reason
ably be expected. We are about to be called to-
renew the old fight and TO camp again upon the |
old battle-ground. The same issues Will come |
before u.s. the same fight be made, the same |
discussions had, and the same majorities rolled |
up by the Republicans OF the State.
The Congress is to day celebrating upon |
customs measure which, with degree of Just |
discrimination and wi. dom in keeping vs. it'll the |
advanced thought of the age, protects every |
has already signed bill which will at once |
increase the circulating medium, and give good |
results TO the toll of the miners of the Pacific |
coast, who wrest from the dark bowels of the |
earth the precious Ores and which will infuse /
new life into trade aud commerce. Fellow-Re- |
ppblieans, you stand here tonight representing |
the party of advanced civilization. Under the |
guidance of its great Secretary of State James |
q. Blaine teheers], it preserves the dignity and |
maintains the strength of the nation. The |
Democrats have not yet dropped out Of the |
stand on guard, with your arms in your hands, |
and at night sleep upon them, il you propose to |
protect and preserve American industries and |
American homes. lGreat applause and cheers. |

have not yet learned how to rest and work |
at the same time, but this evening. in choosing |
between resting after the work of the Conven- |
ton and performing the duty which every loyal |
Republican owes to his ticket his party and his |
country, could not hesitate You have heard |
that these gentlemen from Los Angeles have |
only one lung left. For heavens sake, what |
could they do if they had two lungs? You |
know that their county was divided only a |
short time ago, and that out OF old Los Angeles |
was created the new county of Orange. For |
heavens sake, what could they not have done |
If they had had the whole county? Laughter |
and applause You have heard OF Colonel |
Markham having been crippled in the service |
of his country For heaven sake, what might |
he not have done il he had not been cripple |
LAUGHTER and applause. ! have become |
wholly convinced that Les Angeles is still an |
undivided county, and that its Republicans are |
possessed of ali the lun, men are entitled to, |
and that Colonel Markham is as sound a |
man as if he had never been struck |
by a rebel bullet Cheersl Now only |
wish to say word or TWO about the ticket and
then | am done, because there are other speak |
ers to follow. The Convention has selected for |
the Judiciary four of the best men who could
have been chosen. / am engaged myself in a
profession which makes it my duty to know
the qualifications of Judges, therefore I can
state that to you intelligently. You have heard
of Waite of Alameda VINO, as the representative
of the liberty of the press OF the State, has been
nominated for Secretary of State by the unani- |
moss voice of the Convention. Why was that
done? Out OF friendship for old Judge Terry,
ne had the courage TO write decent article,
| in friendly way, about his character, history
| and life. The Democrats said I'VE will destroy
him and prevent his preferment" The Repub
| licans have answered that by nominating him
| by reclamation. That shows the character of
| the men who composed the Convention and the
| kind of work they did. They nominated for
State Controller gentleman from Sonoma-
whom l have known since he was baby
whose life from the time he was child, has
bse en- as clean as the SHOWS OF the Sierras. He
refused to enter into certain combinations
which would cause him 10 betray his friends,
and the result was that the delegates from his
county stood by him, and the Convention stood
| by him. The Convention nominated for Con-
| gressmen-at-Large Hon. w. w. Morrow, of
| San Francisco, and Hon. J. C. Campbell, of
San Joaquin, both personal friends Of mine,
both men of ability and integrity. Zap
| plause.l The Convention was not under
/ the control or dictation of any power,
bus simply imbued with irresistible devo-
| lion to the principles of the Republican party
sans here oppnse Wey arr are
| men and have government in the administra-
| ton Of which we have voice, aud OF which
we are rulers 1t is q question of men. We must
| have representatives 10 advance cur interests
and the Convention in selecting those men have
| in my judgment, the highest wisdom. I will
now ask the audience to give three cheers for
the whole ticket from top to bottom. THE au-
dience responded with will
Hon ]. c. Campbell said;
have done almost everything l could for
| Sacramento. By my voice win my bread, but
| have left ii here with you Still feel would
be recreant TO the trust which has been con-
| ferred upon me by the seven hundred delegates
| from all parts of the State, il / did not appear
| before you tonight and, representing each and
| every one of those delegates from the bottom OF
| my heart and their hearts, thank the good peo-
pie of sacramento Tor the Kindness and atten-
ton they have shown us. Applause and
cheers By You courtesy your have shown that
you are loyal and true TO the Republican party
for we know that we do not receive il as indi-
yiduals I shall not make you political speech
! wish TO God / could--because there is much
to talk about. But when I cast my eyes over
this vast assemblage wonder what is meant
when we are told that all the Republicans are
dead / believe that we will wake up between
now and November and show the Democracy
some of the liveliest eorpses they have known.
lCheers.I We are not dead, but the Republican
