SACRAMENTO, CAL, Oct. 5.-Never in
the history of any local campaign has
there been such thorough and complete
organization perfected in the ranks of the
Republican party as at the present time
within the limits of Sacramento County
and city, and this organization has been
established with SO little noise that not
half of the outside world knows of its ex-
istence.
Over in the shops of the railroad COM
pany the brawny sons OF toll have formed
series of clubs and are devoting them
selves during their spare hours to drilling.
During the coming month none who will
march in the various parades will do more
honor to the party than these workmen.
They have decided after mature delibera-
tion that the tariff is the issue and that the
monetary question is of minor importance
to men who work for their daily bread.
The clubs in the railroad shops number
thirteen, as follows:
