Special to THE MORNING CALL

NEVADA CITY, Oct. 7.-Colonel Mark
hams reception at Downievlle, while a
magnificent demonstration of Republican
enthusiasm, has been fairly equaled by that
rendered him by the citizens of this most
charming of mountain cities. 1t is splen-
did tribute to his popularity, and evidences
stronger than any words the fact that the
Republicans of the mining counties are fully
as determined to win the coming fight as
are their neighbors of the valleys.
The Colonel and party left Downieville at
so o'clock this morning on their way back
to this place, and the citizens Of the former
place turned out in force to bid farewell to
the man who is to be the next Governor, and
hundreds at parting assured him of their
entire confidence and of their intention to
use every effort to elect him. On the road to
Nevada miners left their cabins to shout
passing salutation 10 the genial gentleman
who is winning golden opinions in this Sec
ton, and en- arrival at Nevada City at
o'clock hundreds of the best citizens of the
town and surrounding country were in wait
ing to receive him in manner
betting the distinguished character of
their guest. Parlors had already been
secured at the National Hotel, and A
Burrows, Chairman of the County Com
mittee, who accompanied the party to
Downieville, assisted by the following Re-
CeptiOn Committee, escorted Colonel Mark
ham to the dlnng-roOm: L. P. Calkins,

Immediately after dinner Colonel Mark

handsomely decorated for the occasion, and
Immediately hundreds began pouring in to
greet him. For two hours a multitude Of
citizens thrOnged the parlors and to each
the Colonel HAD a kind word TO say, and in
return he was greeted with every show
Of enthusiasm and c0rdiality. The i'm
preston made upon those who called
was splendid and dozens who had taken but
little interest in the fight went away declar-
ing their intention TO work with might and
main for the success Of the ticket As the
hour for the meeting approached the streets
presented scene Of greateDthuSiasm. Thou
sands Of people had cOngregatel, while
the Nevada City brass band made the air
ring with music of national airs. The city
Was literally ablaZe with the light of ex-
plOdng rockets and roman candles. In
front of the Opera House a huge bonfire
had been built and it burned with bril-
liancy unusual even to bonfres, as if in
honor of the great Republican standard
bearer.
The crowd, long before the hour of meet
ing, surged into the Opera House until not
even an inch of standing-roOm was left and
hundreds were compelled to turn reluctantly
away Among those present were many la
dies, who took the liveliest interest in
the proceedings. II was most representa-
tive audience, and glance was sufficient to
SHOW that 1t was composed OF the best peo-
pie Of the section. When Colonel Mark
ham, accompanied by 3. j. Watson, entered
the hall, the audience gave him a true
mountain reception, and the ovation ten
dered MIN was worthy of the splendid occa-
sion. The vast audience arose and cheered with
one accord. Chairman Watson then arose and
announced the following list of officers:
