lie made one OF his usual eloquent efforts.
No better nomination could have been
made, he said, than that just made at
Minneapolis. No Democrat lived who
could beat the Republican standard
bearer, benjamin Harrison. The ratiti-
cation meeting, he said, had been called
for the purpose of cheering that grand
man. ana he urged the party to
20 on cheering until the close of
tie campaign; to buckle on their
armor ana put shoulder 10 shoulder and
nght until the victory was won. tight
for Harrison as you fought for Mark ham,
and what can be the result?' said the
speaker. Now, when our Government
is luxurious III its prosperity, when the
standard of American citizenship stands
| so high, can we afford to give the man
| agement of it over into the hands Of the
! Democratic party? Cries of No! NoHl
Can we afford TO GUST the man who with
SO steady hand and so clear head has
ruled siXty-four millions of people Tor
four years and never made one mistake?
No. l say, never!' The speaker con-
cluded by calling for three cheers for
Harrison, and they were given with
great roar.
ANOTHER COUNTY HEARD FROM.
Governor Markham made few more
happy remarks before Introducing the

listening to Sacramento speakers and
now he proposed to have them hear from
another county. You know there is
another county in the State" he added
dryly, and elected great laugh. He

Mr.. I,evinsky is q good tall1er, and be-
ing witty one, he kept the audience i'll

ness. But when he heard that there was
going TO be a Republican ratification
meeting in town, he could no more keep
away from it than fly could keep away
from molasses. People used to laugh at
Harrison, he said and shout ''grandpa's
hat'' at him. but three years had de-
monstrated that there WAS n head that
just fitted that hat. Mr.. Levinsky gave
the young men some advice. ''If you
want to sit on the fence next November
he said. Just vote for the Democratic
nominee. But if you want to get into the
band wagon and do some bowling for the
victory won. you had better vote for Ben
jamin Harrison"
THE wIND-UP.
Senator Frank Sprague of Yolo was
the last of the speaker He was another
eloquent talker, and he proceeded to
enthUse the Republicans up TO the limit.
! The past was sufficient to demonstrate,
he said, that the people had confidence in
the Republican party and were content
TO have it continue TO manage the affairs
OF the Government. Harrison had pro-
tected the country'S dignity, its loyalty
to the stars and stripes, and had won the
love of the entire American people lie
had fulfilled the trust imposed upon him
with eminent satisfaction. Under ms
administration new and great industries
had sprung up all over the country. II
all Republicans would doa much to pro-
tect their own rights and to build up their
own interests as Benjamin Harrison had,
victory would perch upon their banner
in November.
Governor Markham closed the meeting
by thanking The assemblage for lis atteu-
ton. He hoped everybody had been
enthused as much as he had. lie then
proposed three cheers for Harrison ana
REID and the Republican party-and an
ear-splitting roar was the result.
