Mr.. Jones spoke of the nominations of
Hon. Grove l.. Johnson for Congress,
William Beckman for Railroad Com
missioner and A. j. Johnston for State
Printer by the Republican Convention,
and said that Sacramentans owed it TO
their city and county to see that they
should be elected. He referred to each of
these candidates personally, paying them
high compliments for their past faithful
public services.
Emmett Phillips gave some very laugh
able dialect sketches. introducing some
anecdotes that he will omit when he ap-
pears before audiences of lady voters in
the sweet by and by, but which brought
down the house.
Messrs. Cohn, Crocker and Kidder
sang Sweet Marie" and sang it SO well
that their lives were spared.
After clog dance by John Campbell,
Andrew Waldron appeared as a darky
and delivered an address on The Politi-
cal Situation" He did not receive a
poetical send-off, such as had been ac-
corded the other speakers, but he had
evidently got his work in on the refresh
ments, for portion of his outfit was
bottle of Buffalo beer. All that he did
not dispose Of during his Grafton he car
ried away with him when he left the
stage
w. &. Anderson was then introduced
to deliver short panegyric on The Re-
publican Party" this being the text fur
nished by the Chairman:
Our party! it's Tor loyalty
For equal rights TO ali;
And the Nation that we honor,
With it Will rise or tall
Mr.. Anderson had been suddenly called
upon, and had not time to prepare him
self properly, therefore due allowance
must be made for the following, which
the reporter pulled from the orators
pocket while he was talking, all ready
prepared for the first newspaper Ihan that
might come along:
The Republican party and Republican
principles need no defender. It's record
is emblaZoned in living letters of light.
1t was born in the cradle of liberty, and,
like the infant Hercules, strangled the
English serpentS of treachery and in
ternal rebellion. For thirty-two years it
has given the American people the great
est prosperity. What would be left if it
were possible to strike from the Nations
history what has been accomplished
through the agency Of the Republican
party?
TO obliterate that record,would mean
reputation of public faith, discordant
States, human slavery, a dishonored flag,
the taunts of other. nations that the
American form of government was
failure. The Republican party stands
for all that is progressive. 1t stands for
religious liberty in the broad and trues
sense.
''It stands for the American idea. 1t
stands for the independence OF the United
States from the rest of the world. 1t
stands for the benefit Of all mentor the
advancement of the laborer and the pro-
lection of all.
1t stands for progress and protection
for the employment of our own people.
Ii stands for the production within ouri
own borders of all the necessaries and
IuXurles Tor our own people. 1t stands
against foreign factories and foreign labor
and in favor of the American.
Nv hile members of the party may
have committed errors-the grand tenets
Of the party have ever been for the people
and the best interests of the nation.
There was no distress or disaster under
Republican rule. The lessons of the past
two years should convince the American
people that their safety depends upon the
great principles of the Republican party
protection to American industry and
enterprise. On November 9th we will
send ont from the Golden Gate the echoes
of victory that have been heralded from
the tall old pines of the Penobscot. The
principles of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield
and Blaine shall govern the American
people,"
THE wINDUP.
It had been intended to have the county
candidates make brief addresses, but
Chairman Coleman omitted this feature,
as it was growing late. After announc-
ing that on Saturday evening Grove L.
johnson and the other candidates would
hold meeting in the same hall, he in
yited all present to remain and partake of
simple refreshments provided by the
clubs.
Mr., Coleman could not resist the temp
tation to again drop into verse, and he
closed the meeting with th . following
benediction:
Democrats and Populists
Who've met us here to-right,
We give you cheer and W elcome.
But we're bound to wir, this fight.
The attack on the refreshments was in
PROGRESS at last accounts.
