The Republicans of Sacramento, in
convention assem- bled, declare:
We adhere to the principles and tenets
of the National Republican party as
enunciated in the platform of 1892.
Recent events have demonstrated that
the only safe form of government is based
upon the great principles Of the Repub-
lican party. We reiterate that the main
tenance of the system of reciprocity and
try is essential to the well being of this
Nation and the prosperity of both labor
and capital.
We demand the enactment of immigra-
ton laws which will absolutely prohibit
the vicious and undesirable classes from
entry into the United States. 1t is one of
the great ends for which the Republican
party exists to maintain the freedom,
dignity and welfare of labor and those
who toll.
We deplore the inevitable results which
have followed the temporary success of
the Democratic party, and denounce the
unprecedented act of the Chief Executive
of this Nation in nullifying the laws of
Congress, and which have led to depres-
sion, distrust and the reduction Of the
wages of the American laborer.
We demand economy, purity and hon.
esty in every department of Government,
National, State and municipal.
We pledge our candidates to an honest
and economical administration of our
municipal affairs, and that they will carry
out and enforce the provisions of the
Freeholders' charter. and all municipal
ordinances.
We enjoin upon every department of
our local government the necessity of
protecting our State school-book system
from the encroachments of the Eastern
and foreign book rings, in whatever form
they may appear.
We stand pledged to all necessary local
improvements, street. sewer, levee or
other Improvement which will advance
the welfare of the city.
We delegate to the City Central Com
mittee the power to fill all vacancies on
the ticket, and to do such other things as
may become necessary under the pro-
visions of the law.
Every candidate shall appear before
this convention, indorse this platform
and pledge himself to support the nom
inees of this convention. In case any
candidate is unable from any cause to aD-
pear, he shall be vouched for by some
delegate in this convention.
The Committee on Credentials reported
on the roll as printed, with three excep-
tions-the proxies of Nj. f. Roland, J. T.
Brown and L. ID. Scriver-which were in
formal. On motion, it was decided that
a. j. Rhoads be recognized a proxy for
Roland and SERVER, and Frank Daroux
for Brown, that being evidently the in
tention of the delegates in giving the
proxies.
KNOX FOR MAYOR.
c. 7. Jones, after few remarks on the
importance of the coming election, and
the necessity OF nominating good strong
ticket, said he would nominate a man al
ready nominated by other political bodies,
but that should not stand to his discredit

to any party. He had taken part in much
of the progress and improvement of this
city. He was a Republican pure and
simple. He nominated W. +. Knox
