donned their handsome uniforms and
gathered up their torches and bountiful
supply of blue lights and roman candles
last evening, and falling into line marched,
headed by the Hussar Band, to the Golden
Eagle Hotel, where they were Joined by
their chief, Hon. Elwood Bruner
The procession then headed for the old
Pavilion with their charge
The arrangements at the Pavilion were
in charge of the Fourth Ward Markham
and Reddick Club, and everything looked
cheerful Long before the hero of the
evening arrived ladies and gentlemen came
trooping in and laying claim to the chairs,
so that when the procession "columned
place was thronged.
w. D. Knights, President of the Fourth
Ward Club, called the assemblage to order
and invited the following named, who had
been chosen as Vice Presidents of the
meeting, to take seats on the rostrum:
Charles T. Jones, NJ. J. Dillman, Eugene
Crouch, Colonel Guthrie, Ira A. ROBBIE, J.
E. Grossman, ]. w. Boyd, James Stewart,
]. j. Buckley, ]. T. Stafford, Frank Berg
man, VIM. Mulleney, C. F. SchwiIk, R. T.
Cohn, 81. H. Preston, F. NJ. Woodson, Dr.
J. r. Lame, R. Richards. and o. p Dodge.
Mr.. knights then announced that P s.
Lawson, President of the Pioneer Society
and Republican tried and true, had been
selected as Chairman of the meeting.
Mr.. Lawson was greeted with applause
when he appeared upon the platform. He
thanked those present for the honor con-
ferred upon him. He said he had been
identified with Sacramento county many
years and had ever loved and honored it as
the banner Republican county of the State.
He was proud of her for this reason. There
was little need of fear, he said, that this
year Sacramento would not continue her
claim for that pame. The speaker ex-
| horted the voters present not to neglect
registration, and briefly referred to the
bright prospects of the party for great
victory next mouth.
Mr.. Lawson then introduced Hon. Ell.
wood Bruner, and the audience cheered
Justify.
Mr.. Bruner said he recognized the faces
OF many present who were not residents of
the Fourth Ward or his Assembly district.
but he assured them that he was not there
to set forth his own claims for election,
but to speak for the entire Republican
ticket and for Republican principles only.
This coming election. he said, would be
the most important in twenty-nine years.
The great questions of protection and free
trade were the underlying principles in
this entire campaign. 1--WE only have
bare majority in Congress now" he said,
land we must not lose that majority, but
increase it, if we lose it the Democrats,
and those who believe in free trade will
/ plor hot 10 r,ofa for -,
principle"
The speaker then referred to the work
done by Republicans during the present
session of Congress, and paid high tribute
to Speaker Reed, referring to him as 1.-The
man who taught the Democrats that they
were not above the law" The Republi-
cans, he said, promised the people tariff
bill that would fill all the requirements of
protection and yetreduce the tariff, and they
have kept their word. They have made
the Mckinley bill law. This bill he
was not detriment to one man in the
United States. But the people of the Pa.
citic coast were not as thoroughly &C.
quainted with the Mckinley bill as they
should be, and he hoped to enlighten those
present somewhat before he left the plat
form.
If there was any State in the Union that
needed protection, on account OF the great
variety and abundance of its productions,
that State was California. By the McKin-
ley bill California was more than amply
protected. and now California should be
loyal to the party that had given them this
protection.
After devoting himself to some of the
details of the new tariff bill, Mr.. Bruner
took up the Federal election bill, or the
Force" bill as he said the Democrats
delighted to call it. The speaker said he
had a copy of the bill with him, and he
proposed 10 read some of its provisions
and if there was Democrat or any other
person present who did not belive that it
was fair and honest bill, he wanted him
to stand up and say so. This bill would
make false representation acrime; the max
ing of false poll lists; bribing voters; illegal
voting; voting other peoples names; re-
moving ballots from boxes; the making of
false election certificates, etc-in fact
everything calculated to deprive American
, citizens of the one privilege they priced
above all others, namely, an honest vote
The Republicans had also promised
Just pension law, and they have kept their
word.
M. Bruner then turned his attention
from national affairs to State politics He
eulogized the head of the Republican ticket
him with the boss-ridden, boss nominated
candidate, Pond. Pond was nominated by
: Buckley, the Democratic boss. 1t was
Buckley who would be Governor, and not
Pond, should the Democratic ticket be sue
cessful. This man Buckley, he said, was
the most reprehensible creature that ever
thrust itself upon the community
of California. Eight years ago
this man went through insolvency pro.
ceedings, and was penniless. He has done
nothing toward gaining livelihood since,
except politics. To-day he is assessed in
San Francisco for S640, 900 worth of prop
erty. Hes not in politics for his health"
, sarcastically added the speaker.
In conclusion Mr.. Bruner referred en-
Enthusiastically to the ticket Sacramento
county Republicans had put in the field,
and made particular mention of the i'm.
portance that the Republican legislative
| ticket should be elected this year. IF
Democratic Legislature is elected he said.
"California's greatest benefactor will be de.
feated for the United States Senate. l refer
to Senator Stanford"
Immediately the audience was on its feet,
and the old hall echoed and re-echoed the
cheers that went up from hundreds of
throats
: At the conclusion of Mr.. Burners speech
three cheers were proposed for Colonel
Markham and the whole Republican ticket.
and they were given with will.
