Republican Ticket.
Enthusiastic Meeting at Grass Yalley-FOr-
nation Of the Union Republican
League Of Santa Clara.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

cal acknowledge his fight TO be in the most
splendid condition. Somewhat fatigued
after the long trip to Downieville Colonel
Markham arose late this morning. and after
breakfast was escorted through the bust
ness portion of the city. where he had an op-
portunity to meet the business men, and
later on was driven. in company with
Senator E. NJ. Preston, to visit
the mines in the neighborhood Of
the busy little city. Three hours were
spent in inspecting the various pro-
ceSses requires in extracting gold from
rock and in looking over the mine. On the
return to the city carriages were in readI-
ness, and the party was driven to Grass
Valley, a distance of but four miles. On
leaving Nevada City, however, hundreds OF
citizens congregated about the hotel, and a
rOusing send-off was given to the next Gov
ernor of California 10y enthusiastic friends,
who, in brief time, had learned to esteem
the high-minded gentleman who had gone
among them a personal STRANGER but had
bound himself to them by the warmest ties.
Shouts rent the air as he drove away to con-
tinue lis victorious career. Miners, mer-
chants, bankers and labOring men alike wed
with each other to do honor to the eminent
guest, and all classes united in declaring
their determination to support the ticket
from top to bottom. 1t was splendid trib-
ute to Colonel Markhams unsullied man
hood, and no demonstration given him dur
ing his remarkable tour has made a deeper
impression upon him. 1t proved to Kim as
no words could that the hospitable residents
of the great mining belt were in line as
safely as the residents among the orange
groves in his sunny Southland home.
On the road 10 Grass Valley the sides of
the eternal mountains, clothed with their
hues of living green and dotted here and
there with noisy stamp-mills and smoking
smelters, were lined with crowds of
-.Tugged miners, from whose manly throatS
. there arose glad cries of welcome to the
popular leader. Flags floated from the
great mills, Haunting Il proud saluta,iOn,
auG the air was rent with the roar of ex-
ploding giant powder, the sound OF which
awoke echoes for miles and reverberated
down long canyons and were taken up by
towering peaks and Numbered back again.
as If the very mountains were 10th to lose
. the glad sound. From every slOpiug hill
side cheer after cheer rang out, and women
waved passing salute to the man whom
all Northern California has delighted to
honor as no candidate has ever been. Even
children deserted for the time being their
sports and crowded with wondering eyes to
catch glimpse OF the great man of whom
they viii talk in years 10 come. The party
every preparation had been made for the
cout0lt of the guests and where the parlorS
had been decorated prOfuSey with flowers
and banners as tribute TO the gallant
soldier
The streets tonight were literally damned
with an GLOWING mass of humanity, and
the air vas lurid with the light of explod-
Ing rockets and resonant with the wild
81 cheers of those who waited anXiously for the
visitor to appear on the street on his way to
n
made. When lie appeared at last an indie
pendent band struck up patriotic air, and
cheer after cheer swept through the multi
tude that thronged every thoroughfare. At
the theater every seat was nc upled and in
tie aisleS and rear of the hall every inch
OF standing room was taken up. 1t was
most splendid and representative assem-
blage, and sing glance was sufficient to
Show that it was composed of the best peo-
pie of the picturesque little city. 1t also
demonstrated the fact that the Republicans
OF this section are IN shape to present an
unbroken front to the enemy and confident
OF a sweeping victory at the polls. When
Colonel Markham walked down the aisle
IN the arm Of y. Burrows, Chairman of
the County Committee, a cyclone of APP
plause swept through the vast hall until
the banners trembled on the walls.
Tho meeting was called to order by A.
Burrows, who Introduced Edward Coleman,

Following this announcement he intro
duced Colonel Markham, who was greeted
with thrice repeated cheers, and while lie
spoke lie was often interrupted with vocif-
erous applause. As last night, he reviewed
his record while in Congress, and referred to
the ISLANDERS which had been circulated by
the Democrats, and took occasion to say
that ii elected he hoped to give equal jus
tce 10 all alike, no matter where their resi-
dence or what their politics.
He was followed by Hon. George A.
Knight, who spoke amid great enthusiasm
and with his characteristic dash ana elo-
quence.
AT the close of the meeting all pressed for

ings with hundreds who had listened to his
earnest, straightforward speech. The party
will leave at o'clock tomorrow morning
for Auburn.
