The Republicans of Sutter Creek and
vicinity deserye the highest encotniums
OF praise Tor the elaborate preparatious
made 1or the opening OF the cam paigu by
Hon. Grove l.. johnson. The over
whelming success OF the meeting argues
well Tor the Republican party this fall.
The ladies deserve special mention for
their active Interest, aud this is only a
forecast of the influence they will exer-
else when they enjoy the elective fran
chise. Sutter Creek may well be proud
OF its active and efficient committeeman
IL. Pope, whose interchangeable energy
largely contributed to the success of The
meeting, which was called to order By
him, and Judge John Il. Davis was Sc
lected as Chairman, u. G. VOORHEES, as
Vice-President, w. +. Finn as Secretary.
Judge Davis opened the meeting. Alter
an appropriate selection by the band and
a song by the Glee Club, Judge Davis
paid Il handsome compliment to the
speaker of the evening, and Grove l..
Johnson was introduced amid the great
est applause. HIS masterly command of
the English language, his clear and
sparkling elucidaton OF the principles of
kepablicanism held the people SPELL
bound for over an hour and a half.
II would be almost superfluous to at
tempt 10 give an extended account of his
remarks. His eloquent and manly an
peal to the loyal voters to stand by the
party of progress and education defies
the power of our feeble pen TO adequately
portray, and only those who listened to
his inspired words can appreciate their
force, and as they were listened to by an
intelligent and thinking people the seed
OF thought therein planted will bear good
fruit and yield great harvest OF ReDGb-
lican votes in November. His thorough
familiarity with the political social and
commercial questions OF the country and
the pressing need fer Immediate action,
eyinced great research and careful study
and convinced his hearers OF his eminent
fitness for the high and responsible posi-
ton to which ne aspires. And when he
raises his voice in behalf OF the pressing
needs of California, he will be listened To
! with that respect and attention which his
! power and ability demands. AS he is
! known mere so he viii be known there
! as the equal of any man. Thoroughly
| inoculated with the principles OF honesty
and fortified by superior intelligence,
! nothing will swerve him from faithful
! discharge of the duties devolVing upon
| him as a representative of the people.
! Should he take his seat in Cong ress he
will exert a benign influence against the
unsavory Reilly funding bill, which will
| impose such a heavy burden upon the
people of this State for the next fifty
! years should it become a law, which is
most likely if the House and Senate re-
main unchanged. Mr.. johnson EXPRESSED
himself in favor OF free and unlimited
coinage of silver at a ratio of Is to /, and
/ friends OF an increased circulation will
not find him weak and vasciHating when
put 10 the test, as has been the case with
so many Congressman during the past
] eighteen months. There is every reason
| to believe Mr.. Johnson Will earnestly
support every measure that promises
veal to his constituents.
