for myself. The next Congress will be
Republican, hence a Republican Congress-
man from California will be great help.

England in the allied camp before the
army of Saladin, and maintained it, so
will the Republican standard. In the
strength given to me by the principles of
the Republican party, l can plant the
standard of the Republican party full

THE SKIES ARE BRIGHT
With Republican victories, the horizon
is Illuminated with sRepublican hopes.
Oregon, our sister State on the Pacific,
has sent us greetings, has redeemed her.
self from Populist rule. from the antics
of Pennoyer, and is Republican from top
to bottom. Vermont, the star that never
| sets, has given us wartime majorities,
and bids us up and do. Maine, our far
! of sister on the Atlantic Coast, the home
of our dead and loved leader, Blaine,
sends tidings of magnificent victory,
the greatest for forty years. Voices
come from the home of our new leader
Tom Reed, calling us to battle. The Re-
publican majorities here and there, and
along the line, means this year a Repub-
lican Congress, and means in 1896 a Re-
| publican President.
Do your duty then. Obi California Re-
publicans! Do you duty then, Oh! men
and voters of Sacramento! Storm the
ramparts, sink all personal feelings, elect
the entire State ticket, and send Sacra-
mento man to Congress.
L ask your votes for myself. l have
lived in Sacramento for thirty years. My
children and my grandchildren have been
born unto me here: my life, fortunate or

Senator when younger much than now,

sACRAMENTo's TURN NOW.
Sacramento has not had Congressman
for forty years, and it needs one very
much. The Sacramento and San Joaquin
Rivers need cleansing. Sacramento Coun-
/ ty has more interest in that than any other
county in the district. The Republican
party is pledged to that end. A Congress-
man from Sacramento County will carry
more weight in securing the performance
of that work than anyone else can. Our
county is the largest, the richest, the most
| populous and the most influential in the
district. 1t is entitled to Congressman
now. 1 was your choice in 1892. l was
your choice in 1894, both times unani-
| mously. Now is the accepted time to get
a Congressman. We need one; we ought
to have one; our interests and our future
demands it.
Let every citizen of this county forget
for once all personal feelings, if any
such exist. against me. which God forbid.
Bury for once all partisan feelings, and
remember only that 1 am the candidate
of the Republican party. Unite for once.

yore. Labor for Sacramento-our home.

who love me, the homes of those who,
perhaps, hate and dislike me and vet live

| Let every man forget personal feelings
and send a Sacramento Congressman TO

Let us build up Sacramento feeling.
Every taxpayer should feel it a duty to
the city and county; every voter should

paign, for in voting for me you are voting
| for yourselves. l can-you know / can
there is not man in Sacramento County
but who knows that 1 can; 1 will-you
know l will-there is not man in Sacra-
mento County but who knows l will, if
elected, do more than any other one man

be loyal to your townsman and

support this year. Stamp with
your disapproval all personal an

triots for Sacramento-for Sacramento's
interests and for a Sacramento Congress-
man. You will be doing right by your
selves, right by me.
