MISSION REPUBLICANS.
An Enthusiastic Ratification Aocorde

An Enthusiastic Ratification Accorded
the State Ticket.
Beacon fires and music stirred up the en-
thusiasm OF the Twenty-eighth Senatorial
District last night, and summoned the
stanch Republicans of that neighborhood
to ratification of the State ticket at May
berry's Hall. Just before the proceedings
began every inch of space in the auditorium
was seemingly occupied, yet when the mill
tary band made its way to the platform to the
strains OF Marching Thro Georgia." 1t was
followed by small army of enthusiastic
patriots, close upon whose heels came the
Army and Navy Club. giving cheer upon
cheer Tor the prrty, its nominees and the
platform.
When quiet was restored T. C. Maher ex-
planned that the meeting was called to
ratify the ticket formed by the Republican
party at Sacramento, and then presented
Il. j. Parsons as President of the evening
Mr.. Parsons, on coming forward, excused
himself from making an address on the
ground Of i'll health, and called upon Secre-
tary Mckenna to read the list of Vice

WHY ARE WE REPUBLICANS?
John F. Davis of Calaveras was intro
duced as the first speaker. After a short
preface he directed himself to the question,
''Why are we Republicans" Before
answering he first paid glowing tribute to
the "grand old party" as it existed in the
days of Jefferson, Pinkney aud Calhoun.
But, he cltimed, since that time it has pur-
sued a course of imbecilty, which has
ruined its councils, aud in support of his
statement he reminded his hearers that the
Democrats had opposed the homestead law,
opposed the war, opposed the resumption of
specie payments, opposed the Silver Bill
and opposed protection of American indus
tries, while the Republican party is on the
popular and winning side in all of these
issues. Then, speaking for himself he said
he is a Republican because that is the only
party that accompishes anything, and he
presumed his hearers held about the same
opinion on the subject that lie did.
Leaving that part of his subject, Mr..
Davis proceeded to dissect the San Jose
platform, and having exposed its clap-trap
and contradictions to his own salts faction
and that OF his audience devoted the re-
mainder of his speech to telling what he
knew of the Republican nominees Mark

LABOR NOTES.
The California Cable Work Will
Have to Be Made Over.

President Stetson of the California-streer
Gable Company has assured the Iron-mold-
ers' Union that the company will not accept
from the Union Iron Works any work that
was not done in this city in compliance with
the terms of the franchise.
Mr.. Stetson told a committee of that
union yesterday that the proprietors of the
Union Iron Works had admitted to him that
the two large cylinders, 2Ox5O and 3Ox50
inches, and the 16-foot 13-rope sheave. or
Wheel had been made in the East,
but they attempted to excuse
the fact on account Of the strike. When
lie notified the gentlemen that the work
would all have to be done over, they pro-
tested vigorously, claiming that it would
entail an additional expense of $4,000; but
Mr.. Stetson was firm, and the fOundrymen
finally yielded the situation, and said they
would set about at once to prepare the Work
at home. The patterns for the cylinders
will be sent to the RSdOn.
Te all outward appearances this would
settle the case, but the molderS are suspI-
cious that the fOundrymeu will not act In
good faith on the second promise, inasmGch

of the work would be sent East The re-

hams military career was wildly portrayed,
Reddck's honesty and ability were set in
glowing colors, and each OF the other candi-
dates received need of praise for his PROM
inent COOL qualities. Every name was re-
ceiyed wi rounds of applause and the
speaker himself was rewarded with quite an
ovation on the conclusion of his remarks.
A letter was then read from Professor j.
W. Anderson regretting his enforced abb
sence from the meeting and giving an en-
thusias tic Endorsement OF the ticket.

troduced. He gave a graphic description OF
his life and spoke from his own knowledge
of the great Improvements that had been
worked in the country by the Repuolican
party. Before the war, in his western nome
there were no public schools and only one
academy, many miles distant. He had been
promised an education at that academy.
but within a year he was an orphan
and his dearest hopes were shattered.
War broke out shortly after. He went to
the front, and when he returned, four years
later, public schools had cropped up all over
the land. 1t was the Republicans who ac-
complshed that feat.
Prior to 1860 there were but 1900 schools
and academies in the whole country; now
there are 364, 900 public schools in existence,
leaving out of question the many private in

tiers. but he had to pay his taxes in gold and
silver. The Republican party worked
change in this regard also, and, as it
proved itself party of progress. he had
been Republican in politics ever since his
return from the war.
The speaker then took the State ticket
and Endorsed each of the nominees in glow
ing terms, interfering into his remarks
many humorous anecdotes, which were
thoroughly appreciated by the audience.
J. NJ. Litchfeld, nominee for Railroad
Commissioner; ex-Judge E. D. Sawyer and
A. p. Van Duzer followed with their
Endorsements and also urged upon their
hearers the duty OF immediate registration
and the advisabiity of going early TO the
polls. At the conclusion of their speeches
the Chairman called for cheers for the State
ticket, which were given with vim that
fairly shook the building after which the

BAD FOR THE BOSSES.
The Lambs Not Pleased With the Reform


The Lambs Not Pleased With the Reform
Movement.
The Buckley Rainey-D ougherty ring of
the Democracy are greatly exercised over
the action of the Reform Convention in
nominating Captain James NJ. Mcdonald for
Mayor, and spent the day yesterday in pro-
Mitigating and disseminating rumors of var
ious kinds, among which was one to the effect
that that gentleman would refuse to stand
in the event of the nomination by Buckley of
Colin NJ. Boyd. The reason given was that
Boyd and Mcdonald are the warmest OF
personal friends, and the latter would not,
under any consideration, agree to stand in
the formers way, should he aspire to the
chief magistracy of the city.
Another rumor put out and haWked about
among the faithful was that Mr. Mcdonald
had made his candidacy contingent upon the
nomination of twelve frst-class men for
Supervisors, and still another was that his
name had been used without his sanction.
The truth or faslty of these various
rumors it was found hard to discover, but
while MIR. Mcdonald kept his counsel as to
his intentions he was also kept busy re-
ceiying the congratulations of his friends,
and in every way conducted himself as
would become a man who was in the fight TO
stay.
The truth of the matter seems to be that
Buckley and his henchmen fancy they see
in the signs of the times indications Of COM
eagerly grasping at every straw in the hope
of saving themselves from sinking out of
sight. That they are hit hard they do not
deny. and instead of ridiculing the move
mrnt, as they did a few days ago, they are
now engaged in heaping upon it all the
choice explosives known to the vocabulary
OF the thorough ''heeler."
They profess to take some encouragement
from the faint whiSperingS of discard among
the Republicans, caused by public rumor
to the effect that Nike Dunn has threatened,
in the event of certain things occurring, to
put an independent ticket in the field.
There is not, so far as can be learned, the
least probability that Mr.. Dunn or his
friends have any such intentions, for it is
pretty well understood that mutual conces-
sicns have harmonized the party. but the
Buckley men. ignoring this, see, or think
they see, a counter movement of the charac-
ter indicated that will result in the election
either Of O'Donnell or the "bOss" candi-
date, whoever he may prove TO be. Upon
this weak peg they hang their hopes. and in
the meantime whistle bravely to keep their
courage UP.
