Mr.. Johnson's Reception in Mr.. Cam
! inettrs Own County, at Jackson.
! [Amador Ledger, October 12th.l
| The Hon. Grove l.. Johnson had good
cause to feel that he and his candidacy in
the Second Congressional District were
| duly appreciated by the people of Anna
dor County. His three meetings were
/ the most enthusiastic and largely at
| tended of any political gatherings ever
! held in the county. Mr.. Johnson had re-
ceived grand ovation in Sutter Creek
| on Tuesday night, and when he drove
/ into town Wednesday night accompanied
! by NJ. Brinn and X. Pope, and was met
on the road near Frank Hoffman's by the
jackson band, he was impressed with the
| idea that here, in the home of his Oppon-
ent, there were some people who had
| tired of the Democratic party. and were
| willing and anxious to do honor to the
standard bearers of Republicanism.
! When he advanced 10 the footbridge and
/ there found the Ladies' Republican Club
! and the Estee- Millard Club of Jackson
/ with flags and banners flying, awaiting
/ to escort him to the speakers stand, he
! realized that all his efforts in behalf of
| the RepuDllcan party were duly appre-
clated by Jackson people. And when
( the line OF march WAS taken up along
: Main street, which was brilliantly illum-
4 u.
! bontires burning, cannons booming. and
| Mir. johnson was escorted to the beauti-
| fully-decOrated speakers stand, which
was brilliantly Illuminated, and after the
| jackson Republican Glee Club sang an
anthem in his honor, his appreciation of
! 1t all was expressed in words of elO-
! quence, the like OF which il is seldom
| the privilege of Jackson audience To
! hear
The grand demonstration in honor of
| the next Congressman was under the
management of the kstee- Millard Repub-
lican Club and was Immediately in
charge of the following committee: r.
>. Adams, ii. Ireglown, James Il. Dye,
| V. ,. GarharlnI and I'D Kay, and a COM
mittee Of the Jackson Ladies' Club, of
| which Mrs. j. ID. Mason was Chairman.
| 1he committees did Il great deal of sub
! stantlal and appropriate work, which gave
/ our town the most inviting appearance
| the illumination, the bontires, the speak
! erS' stand, the decorations, the cannon
/ aiding, the glee club, were all in accord
! with the grand Standard bearer Tuesday
| night. But probably the most satisfactory
| and most to be appreciated circumstance
| surrounding the whole affair was the out
| pouring OF the citizens, old and young,
men and women, who conGregated TO hear
/ the eloquent discourse 10 which the peO-
! pie Of Jackson were treated by that able,
/ eloquent, honored and talented gentle
man who is before the people OF this dis
| trlct working arduously in the interests
OF the people. Which means the return
to power Of that grand Old party which
| for more than thirty years controlled the
| affairs of this Government and elevated it
| out OF the depression caused by four years
of internal strife, and placed it's credit
| above that OF any other country in the
| world; put its finances on u safe and
| sound basis; caused the wheels Of manu-
| tacture to hum with industry, while the
| laDorer, the mechanic and the artisan was
| guaranteed the precious boon Of free
! schools, and rate of wages which en-
| abled him 10 own his own home and to
| spend his days of rest and thanksgiving
! under his own vine and tig tree.
This steady advance has been broken.
! For short spell the experiment OF De-
mOcracy was tried, with the result that
! our Nation has retrograded and does not
now occupy the position it should on the
| high seas or among the other nations of
the world. The short experience has
! sutficed to open the eyes OF the people,
| who to-day feel that the only safety of
/ these United States is to place its govern
| ment again in the hands OF its friends, TO
again return the party to power which
made us what we are and 10 relegate to
| .'inocuous desuetude' the Democracy,
which has shown itself entirely unfit and
unable to manage and govern this great
Nation.
Such demonstration as that of Wednes-
day night in our little town shows to all
that the people are tired OF that change
for which. in 1892, by promises since
broken, they were induced to vote. AS
Mr.. Johnson, and in fact all OF the Re-
| publican speakers throughout the State,
are being received in the same manner
and with such demonstration, such out
pourings OF the people who are thor
oughly aroused by Democratic inactiou
and inability to govern, there can be no
doubt that Democracy is doomed and Re-
publican principles and Republican
| ability Will again be returned to the con-
troll OF our governmental affairs.
1t is seldom that any Congressional
district has an opportunity TO vote for a
more able representative of the people
than Grove l.. Johnson, man OF the
| people, successful and able attorney
whose reputation was made by conscien-
tiously attending to the business of his
clients, by thorough study, by honest
dealings with all; a man who is free from
all corporate influence and railroad taint;
| a man whose ability is tar above that of
the average Congressional nominee, and
whose understanding of the needs of our
district, our State, and our Nation is con-
ceded by all.
During his speech Mr.. Johnson was
applauded profusely, and his burning
words had telling effect to the advant-
age OF the Republican party.
MI Johnson, alter the speech, ex-
pressed himself as more than pleased
with the grand reception he is receiving
| throughout the district, and especially
with the hearty welcome accorded him in
lone, Sutter Greek and Jackson.
