From the North.
Followers Of Buckleys Pond Losing Conf

Campaign Notes.

Markham's progress through the north
is a continued ovation. He is completely
smashing the Democratic chances for ma
iority and winning hundreds of staunch
friends and supporters every day. His per-
sOnal canvass creates an uninterruted ac-
emulation of votes and his manlnesS and
genial disposition have carried the hearts of
the northern PEOPLE by storm as effectively
as those characteristics won the admiration,
respect and everlasting friendship OF the
people of The south.
During tie day he is whirled around by
four-in-hand over the mountains to intro
duce himself to the miners and leave
them with their huZZas ringing up the
heights or again through the valleys, max
ing himself acquainted with the sturdy yeo-
many at the fairs and filling them with en-
thusiasm for the Republican cause by whole
souled greetings and the brilliancy Of his
leadership.
The early evening finds him on board
special train fastening TO a meeting, where
his appearance is always signal for an
overwhelming Outburst of welcome and his
speeches are received With cheers that pro-
claim his victory at every pOlling-place in the
StIte Tie eloquent addresses OF his right
hand man on the platform, II. V. More
house, play an admirable part in the sue
cess Of the eampag On a. d add very much to
the enthus asm OF The Republican ranks all
along tie line.
SWEEPING SUCCESS.
The directors of the campaign, whose du-
ties oblige them to remain at headquarters
at the Stlte Central Committee rooms, are
flushed with delight over the evidence OF
magnificent leadership betrayed by Mark
ham in his march through the north. They
are filed with admiration at the sweeping
successes which have f, lowed upon every
attack made by Markham OH the voters in
the only section of the State where he had
been more or less unknown, and they are
now confident that a great victory is already
assured.
Every day brings TO the headquarters a
batch of letters from prominent residents Of
localities vi ich Markham has stormed and
forced to capitulate, and these communica-
tons all 5, arkle with enthusiasm for the
man whose character and bearing so emf
nently fit him for the rosition of Governor
Of California. A B. Lemon, editor of the
Santa Rosa Republican, and who was leadar
OF Morrow'S forces al The convention at sac
ramento, has written that Markham was re-
ceived with Ovations at Santa Rosa, and that
the feeling in his favor in that section IS Al
IN every respect.
VALLEJO FOR MARKHAM.
Every day brings visitors to headquarters
who are anxious 10 report upon Markham's
success wherever he has made his appear
agCe Mr.. Allen, good Repubilcan from
Val 10, was among the visitors yesterday,
and e reported r0using meeting at his
tDWl for Markham and an intense desire
aulHg Republicans there TO aid In browning
.4eir State ticket with handsome majority.
Nhie Markham is making a personal can
vass of the north, and thousands of voters
are assem- bling beneath his standard every
day, Buckley Pond remains in this city and
is content 10 allow Buekley's lambs to make
CANVASS of the State through the medium
at letters. There is method In this mad
ness exhibited by Buckeyes Pond. He has
nO welcome in the south, for the south is for
Mar ham, and he has no welcome in the
nora.
POND Padding ABOUT.
There is a probability that Buckley's
Pond may venture into the south before the
termination Of the campaign, but if he does
I.ut pluck up enough courage to make start
. IN hat direction before the 18th of next
month be will ind the trip prUmlseful OF in
dti rent results, for Markham will then
nave returned TO his stronghold. The tactics
81 lie Democrats In this campaign are mild,
o. ay the least but the necessity for mild
ness is obvious in the indiSposition of the
people of the interior TO have anything to do
with q man WHO talks with buckley Drains,
and who sleeps in Buckley's lap when he
should be contesting every inch of ground
over which Markham treads.
here can be no doubt that MarkhamS
canvass of this city has been marked with
success which has very much weakened the
supposed strength OF Buckley's Pond in the
laJter's supposed preserves. There can be
no doubt that Markham'S march through the
north is costing Buckley'S Pond large
plumber of votes every day. No one will
deny that the south is solid for Markham.
Tue deduction is plain enough for the dull
est intellect: Bucsley's Pond will not lead
tie Democrats to victory in this campaign.
