SAN Excellent Newspaper, :,
fGalt Gazette I


That veteran California journal, the
Sacramento RECORD UNION, has entered
on new volume. While the Gazette at
times differs with the policy of the
RECORD UNION. it is undeniable, from a
journalistic standpoint, that it is an ex-
cellent newspaper. Its editorial express
sions are set forth tersely and logically,
its news columns are complete and its
local records are in excellent form and
related in manner tointerest the reader
AS newspaper, there is no fault to be
found with the RECORD U MON, though
there are those who think it bit too
rabid in some of its editorial expressions
in denunciation Of the aggressions of the
corporation and money powers.

an ugly cut on the head and various
bruises, both wrists were fractured and

Mr.. Hadwiek is well along in years and
his health rather feeble at best. The sup

A. J. Bruner Chairman of the Com
mittee on Platform and Resolutions, re-
ported the following, which was adopted:
The Republican party of the county of
Sacramento In convention assembled re-
affirms its devotion 30 the principles OF a
Lincoln, a Grant, a Garfield and Blaine
''As it was in the beginning Of its his
tory so 1t Is to-day-the party of law and
order, the party of progress and enlight-
enment, the party that not only supports
and suStains the glorious doctrines of the
Constitution by word of mouth, but en-
phasizes them by its records and its
deeds.
The Republican party has ever been
the true friend of the laboring classes,
the champion of the oppressed ana down
trodden. Never has the laborer turned
to that party for relief from oppression
and been denied.
The Republican party declares that
whatever wrongs exist in our economic
or political systems must be righted by
law and not by force, aud must be recti-
fed under the beneicent folds of flag
in whose shade all the sons of men can
stand and be lowered with the blessings
of civil and religious liberty; must be
amended on the lines laid down in the
Constitution. Labor, supported by law,
is all-poweriul, and the Republican party
ognized champion both of labor and of
law.
''rhe Republican party reafirms its
faith in and devotion TO the great princi-
pie of protection to American industries,
principle that, faithfully carried out,
means an increase and prosperity of man
ufactures and consequent benefit to labor.
1t arraigns the Democratic party for hav-
ing passed the Wilson bill, which is pro-
lection in spots, free trade in sections,
and a tariff for revenue only nowhere-a
misfit measure which even Grover Cleye-
land did not have the hardihood to sign.
at is not necessary for the Republic
can party-the party of the Constitution
and of law-to reaffrm a principle of
that Constitution. Religious as we'll as
civil liberty is a boon offered to every
citizen by that great charter, and no po-
litical body can take from any citizen
that liberty of conscience and that right
to worship the Creator as he may see
tit. granted TO all alike, and guaranteed
by the Constitution. On this point, as
on all others. the great Republican party
plants its foot firmly upon the Constitu-
ton.
I'VE declare that the first aim of our
National Legislature should be to re-
store the dollar OF our fathers. That we
are in favor of a bimetallic currency,
and that our mints should be thrown
open to the free coinage of silver upon
the only true basis. that OF sixteen to
