JOHNSON RENOMINATED
Second District Republicans Are
Unanimous.
There Was No Competitor Of the
Popular Congressman.
Judge Walling Of Nevada for Presidential
Elect0r, and Judge Davis Of ANA
dor for Alternate.

The Second Congressional Republican
Convention met in the Assembly Cham
Der of the State Capitol at 3:45 p. N.
yesterday and nominated Hon. Grove
L. Johnson for candidate for Congress,
Hon. j. M. Walling of Nevada County
for Presidential Elector and Hon. John
+. Davis Of Amador County for alter
nate Presidential Elector.
The convention was called to order by
John F. Kidder Chairman of the Con-
gressional Committee, who briefly stat
ed it's object, and then called for nom
nations for Chairman.
Eugene Lehe of San Joaquin placed
In nomination Hon. John F. Davis of
Amador, who who was chosen by &C
clamation. Lehe and j. NJ. Walling of
Nevada were appointed a committee to
conduct Judge Davis to the chair
The convention, Judge Davis said
had assembled for work and for the
purpose of approving the principles
OF the Republican party as laid down
In the national platform. He unre-
servedly indorsed the platform and stood
for both a protective tariff and sound
money. He stood for that greatest of
Americans, Mckinley and his running
mate, Hobart of New Jersey. (Ap-
plause.) The convention had assem-
bled to nominate a candidate for Con-
gress, a Presidential Elector and an
alternate-it might be said, to complete
the ticket-and care should be taken to
name men who could and would carry
the Standard to victory
While the question of protection was
paramount, the Democrats and Popu-
lists had decided to attack the old party
on lesser issues, and while each attack
would be met, it should be understood
that the Republican party alone stands
for the grand principle of protection to
American industries and American la
Dor.
1t was the intention Of the Demo-
Gratis, he said, to attack not only the
sound money of the country, but they
had attacked the Constitution itself by
attacking the judicial branch Of the
Government
The Republicans of California, con-
tinued the Chairman, stand firmly upon
the national platform. It was broad
enough and strong enough for each and
everyone, and it was right On those
lines would the coming battle be fought
out in all sincerity. and on those lines
would the victory be won. Great ap-
plause.)
