REPUBLICAN WORKERS.
FURTHER PREPARATIONS FOR MARK
HAMS RECEPTION.
Meetings of Various Organizations Last
Night = Fourth warders and
Cheerful Workers.

There were a number of gatherings of
Republicans last evening. some to organize
for the work OF the campaign, and others to
make further arrangements for the demon
stration on Saturday night, when Colonel
Markham, the nominee for Governor, and
FL. V. Morehouse, the eloquent Santa Clara
orator, will visit the city.
Major c. H Hubbard, Commander of the
Markham Brigade. met with Adjutant
Houghton and Aids Bennett, Turrill, Dill
man and Douglass, at the Old Pavilion last
evening and discussed plans for the parade
of organized clubs on that occasion. II was
stated that there will be seven-and per-
haps more-organized bodies in line. There
will be the Old Soldiers and Sailors, the
Glee Club, the Fire Brigade, the Resolutes,
the Cheerful Workers aud the Folsom Club,
with perhaps a mounted company.
1t is expected that Colonel Markham
will arrive on Saturday forenoon from
Marysville, and that he will be met at the
depot by q reception committee composed
of members of the County Central Com
mittee and some of the members of the
Executive Committee of the Markham
Brigade, and escorted to the hotel.
The Commanders of the several orgen-
lied bodies that are to take part in the
parade will be asked to have their COM
panies ready by 8 o'clock in the evening to
move in procession after parading through
the streets. Colonel Markham will be es-
corted to the State Capitol, in front of
which the meeting will be held. At its
close he will hold an informal reception in
side the building.
Considerable enthusiasm is being mani.
tested, and the prospect is that the initial
parade of the campaign will be very cred
liable one both SIS to the number of persons
in line and the character of its compo-
sition.
FOURTH WARD CLUB.
A large and enthusiastic meeting of the
Fourth Ward Republicans was held last
evening at the new Pavilion, for the pur-
pose of forming a club. W. r. knights
was chosen President, J. o. Funston, Vice
President: o w Erlewine, Treasurer, and
Martin Devine Secretary.
On the suggestion of A. B. Sanborn, the
name chosen for the organization was
"The Fourth Wacd Markham and Reddick
Club"
J. 0. Funston addressed the asemblage
in ringing speech.
At the conclusion of the address the
signing of the roll of the club was pro-
ceeded with, and sixty persons put down
their names.
]. L. Jack was chosen Captain of the
Club; ]. 0. Funston, First Lieutenant, and
John Whitelaw, Second Lieutenant
On motion of ]. o. Coleman, the selec-
ton of uniform for the club was left to
the Executive Committee, consisting of
George Murray, Albert Hart and ]. J. Nc
Kenne.
II was resolved, as the sense of the club.
that its members should turn out in the
parade next Saturday night.
The club then adjourned to meet on Fri
day evening. The members gave three
cheers for the Republican ticket before
leaving the hall.
OLD SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.
This organization also held meeting at
the old Pavilion last evening, which was
well attended. Thirty-fve more names
were added TO the membership roll, and
the " rams are confident they will have
more than enough men to fill the one hun
dred uniforms that have been ordered.
1t is noticeable fact that the men who
carried arms for their country on land ard
sea during the rebellion are taking live
lier interest in this than in any State cam
paign for some years past. The old veter-
ans have developed unusual gingerly quail
ties this year. They feel that Colonel
Markham is lone of them" and are deter
mined to show their respect for their old
comrade by giving him rousing soldiers
welcome.
THE CHEERFUL WORKERS.
This late addition to the Markham Bri-
gade perfected its organization last evening,
by electing Frank Bergman President,
VIM. Mulleny Vice-President, r. T. Cohn
and e. II. Preston Secretaries, and Chas.
Schwilk Treasurer.
The club decided to turn out ON Satur-
day evening at the reception of Colonel
Markham, and will wear uniform both
striking and unique. 1t will consist of q
checkered bingham blouse, engineer pants
and white plug hat. The Workers adopt
ed war cry, as follows:
"How's Markham? He's cheerful. 'Rahl
'Rahf'
The officers of the parade will be: F. NJ.

lished permanent campaign headquarters
