THE WHOLE TICKET.

The entire Republican ticket for this
Congressional district, this county and
this city, deserves the united, unbroken
support of not only Republicans but OF
the people, who may not have affiliated
with the Republican party heretofore.
1t is a ticket that was the free and un-
trammeled choice of conventions in every
sense representative, and which acted
with wise discretion in naming the nomi-
nees.
Not a word can be or has been said
against the Congressional nominees.
Mr.. John f. Davis is a man of fine
ability, young, vigorous, clean in life and
thought and universally respected and
stands for the best in his party. Mr.. S. G.
Hilborn, for the unexpired term, is a
man OF long experience as a Legislator,
a citizen without reproach, and one who
will do honor to the State and credit to
the office in the eyes of the Nation.
For the county Offices the party has put
up men who have been tried and proved
capable and worthy. Mr.. Devlin, for the
Superior bench, will bring to it the ca
pacity of the trained, well-read lawyer
and law author. Mr.. Anderson and Mr..
Chapman, for the Assembly, have lived
nearly all their lives in this community,
have filed public trusts with ability and
faithfulness, and each of them has the
business capacity, courage, American
ism and devotion TO their homes essential
for our legislators. They are not men of
notions, or one idea, but broad, public
spirited and good citizens.
Mr.. owen, for the Assembly, is wholly
new to political life. He has, however,
youth, vigor, definite purpose, informa-
ton and intelligence, and is one of the
very best specimens of young manhood
in California rural life
The nominee for the Senate, Mr.. Hart.
we have already spoken of fully. His
capacity no one questions; his singleness
of purpose, fairness, courage and breadth
of comprehension everyone acknowl-
edges. Mr.. Rhoads for County Clerk
has been faithful, upright and impartial
officer. Mr.Lyon for Treasurer is one Of
Saeramento's oldest and best trained
business men. Mr.. McMullen for Sheriff
is as fine a representative of the rural
Californian as lives, square man, of
high reputation and one who has once
filed the office with entire satisfaction to
all the people. Not even the bitterest
political opponent has one word to say
against George c. McMullen.
Mr.. Johnson for Auditor is unexception-
able. He has filed the office with ability:
is conceded to be faithful and capable; he
is a young man, thoroughly representa-
tive, against whom not word can be
said.
So on to the bottom of the ticket it is
one that commands party strength, and
honors the county and the organization.
Rumors have been put aloat by enemies
of the party and by certain selfish local
interests and ax-grinders that Repub-
licans of prominence are knifing the
ticket, underwriting the nominees from
Congressman to Sheriff, while openly
applauding the ticket. We have been at
some pains to follow up these charges in
the more prominent instances. They
are malicious fabrications; they are de-
vices of an enemy that has traded it's
birthright with side-bar opposition, in
order to effect the election of political
rivals of the Republican nominees, who
in turn are to serve the Democracy by
aiding it to turn over the whole Govern
ment to the chivairy.
Let Republicans nail these stories as
mendacious whenever they are heard;
remember that behind them lies pur-
pose that is either in the interest of a
greedy office-seeker, or represents the
personal aims of men in the Republican
party, who hunt with the hounds and
run with the hare.
All attempts to create dissensions in
the Republican ranks have mean and
ignoble purposes in view. The party is
making its fight in the open, and every
