A Republican ratification meeting was
held last night il the new Republican Wig
wan at the corner of Jones and Eddy

ID. S. Dorm, in calling the meeting to order,
remarked that it was ceasing TO be ean-
p,ign OF Republicanism az inst Democ racy,
but was growing into n struggle of good
government against bossiSm. The Republic
can ticket represents purity of municipal
and State administration. For this reason
hundreds of Democrats are tiocking to the
banner Of that party, which is and always
has been the friend of the people.
Never jacobs was introduced as Chair
man of the evening, and congratulated the
people on the fact that good Democrats are
joining in the effort to destroy the power of
Boss" Buckley. 1t was also essential that
the State ticket should not be forgotten.
The mention of Colonel Il. II. Markham,
the head of that ticket called forth enthu-
siastic cheers.

voted TO receiving the Invincible Club, the
Bear Club, the National Club, the Fremont

Miss Daisy May Cressy sang two cam
paign songs that we're well received.
William 5. Barnes, candidate for District
Attorney, said: Il am here at therequest of
the County Committee to present myself to
you as one of the candidates nominated by
the late Municipal Convention. | seek the
Office Of District Attorney. | am makiug-Dy
the help OF as devoted friends as a man ever
had, and whose unwearied kindness l can
never fUTget-an active canvass, and hope 10
be elected together with my cO-noninPeS.
Il believe | am c, mpeient TO perform the
responsible duties of the position; otherwise
l should not lave sought il. Nor would /
accept it, if / could obtain it without an
effort, did l not possess this confidence.
Should | be elected, promise you aud the
public To discharge my obligation with
honesty Of purpose, with diligence and
without fear or favor. No innocent man
shall be punished if know it, and no guilty
one shall escape if l can prevent it,
have high respect for my op onents,
and ii Is Just that respect VIII II makes ME
all the more aTdentiY desire To defeat them.
! do not KNOW IN what regard they now hold
me, hut before We are done with this fight
! think they VIII come to the conclusion that
they have not been 10 = picnic. They may
have learned municipal politics, some of
them, before | was born; but think l have
the Old points with some modern improve
mentS. | believe III the great principles OF
Which the Republican party Is the exponent,
aud under hich 1t has marched to so many
victories and shouted so often the battle
cry OF freedom that freedom which educa-
ton alone can beStow; that freedom which
tends always to harmonic the relations be-
tween the tUIler and the employer; that
freedom which makes this beautiful land
and the flag which protects it the ideal re-
public and banner of the world.
Probably at no time since the rebel
lion has the national party been more united,
confident, courageous than at present. The
result of this fairs election in this State Will,
l believe, demonstrate that our beloved
California has again fallen into line with
those who have thus far preceded her, and
has rolled up rousing republican ma
io-itY.'
John II. burst, nominee for City and
County Attorney, paid compliment to
Harry I. CreSwell, his Democratic opponent,

honored Judge in this State who began his
educational career IN night school III the
basement Of st. Mary S Church in 1855. One
such nan as that, he said, was worth
