William Mckinley will be elected by an
overwhelming majority. Cloud ap-

You want to support him." said he,
with Republican Congress. The peo-
pie OF the Second District have been
ably represented. A representative BODY
OF Republicans In the district have
chosen Hon. Grove L. johnson to sue
ceed himself. They acted wisely. There
may be some Republicans who differed
with MIR. Johnson on the funding bill.
That Is a business proposition and not
political one. He is working for your
interest, and If you will permit him will
secure to the people all that Is due
them. If those who oppose him have
their way they will probably lose all
that a meritorious funding bill could
secure and precipitate the Government
into a business she neither can nor is
prepared to handle To such persons let
me say it is simply q question whether
you will support a man who favors one
thing of which you do not approve or
vote for a man who is against every
thing you do approve. (Applauseo
You also have an ASsemblyman to
elect and you have a man worthy ana
competent to fill the office. VIM. Ben
nettS of lone is we'll known as man
OF honor, integrity and energy. A vote
for him means a vote for Amador Coun-
ty in the State Legislature. 1t means
vote for q Republican United States
Senator and a vote against Mr.. Gator,
who is carefully drawing in his net.
(Applause)
Mr.. Holsinger closed the meeting with
a stirring and impressive speech on be-
half of the Congressional and leg1sla-
tive ticket. There was great tidal
wave of political enthusiasm, the
speaker said, sweeping over the coun-
try. It was a sentiment of protection
for American industries and honesl
money for honest people. 1t would car
~ to victory the Republican banner
The people were arousing from their
stupor; they were becoming alive to the
necessities Of the hour and they would
undoubtedly elect as the chief magls-
trate of the United States that man
among men, William Mckinley. Gap

If the impossible should happen and
in a misguided moment the people
should elect a boy orator President of
this great country, in the name OF
Heaven let me beseech you do not com
nit the objectionable mistake of elect
ing a boy Congressman. Cloud ap-

The people of the Second District are
now represented by the ablest man they
ever returned to the halls Of Congress.
If you would have completed the work
so ably begun you will cast your vote
on November Sd for Hon. Grove l..
Johnson (applause). He is man OF
ability and integrity and has already
made himself a power which was felt
and recognized in Congress. No man
of the district, be he Republican, Dem
ocrat or Populist, has ever appealed to
him as an officer in vain. AS a public
servant he was indefatigable and tire
less in pressing the claims of his con-
stituents. If elected, he will undoubt-
edly complete the good work he has
commenced and that to the satisfaction
of those who now doubt the wisdom Of
some of his policies.
Speaking for Mr.. Bennetts for the
Assembly Mr.. Holsinger drew a strong
| comparison between the Democratic
candidate and the Republican The
former, as far as the speaker knew,
was a gentleman. He had occupied the
high and honorable position of Con-
gressman. He had also been defeated
and his political aspirations were for q
time crushed His friends saw a ray
Of hope. They had made him their
candidate for the Assembly. They
hoped it might prove the stepping stone
to reinstatement to public esteem and
confidence. If elected, he would bend
e> cry energy to realize all his friends
fond hopes. Amador County would be
| lest sight of in the race for political
preferment. 1t was natural. 1t was
human nature.
How about plain William Bennetts?
| IF elected he would have one motive
one incentive, one ambition, and that to
live up to the pledge he had made to-
night. Amador County would be first
to him and after that California gen.
| orally Place and position would be
entirely foreign to his thoughts. CAP

The meeting closed with three cheers
| for Mckinley, Johnson and BENEFITS
and three cheers given with a will fol-
| Judge Carpenter, the man who neither
| expects nor would have an office, but
/ whose sense Of duty has made him a
champion of protection and sound
money. PROTECTION.
