the candidates of the Republican party.
Politics did not enter the courtroom
when he was upon the bench, burt q
Judge read politics and had ideas Of his
own, and such being the case there was
no reason why he should not express
them upon the platform or elsewhere.
Universal employment meant uni
versal prosperity and the two mallioa
unemployed men in the East were pray
ing to the Republican party to give
them protection and with Il q. return of
prosperity.
JOHNsON's APPEAL
Then Chairman Ryan introduced Hon.
Grove l. Johnson, and at the mention
OF his name the crowd cheered, the an
wills doomed, and the band played
'Han to the Chief"
Mr.. johnson devoted the first part OF
his remarks to the county candidates.
who were, he said, honest and honor
able men and should be elected.
In speaking Of himself, he said he had
been attacked because while in Con-
gress he had represented Sacramento.
He had been attacked because he had
treated fairly the institution in this city
which gives employment to over 1000
of her citizens. He had treated that fac
tory fairly-he had done his duty by it,
and by the men it employed, and be-
cause he did so he had been subjected
to abuse by a Scurrilous newspaper.
The question is whether the people
desire to legislate for or against them
selves. If he were defeated for Con-
gress at the coming election Sacramento
would seriously suffer, and the people
would be the first to feel IT.
He represented protection to Ameri-
can labor, and In Congress had contend
ed that the laborer had just as much
right to protection as the product of his
labor. He had worked for that principle
while in Congress. and should do 50
again If elected. He had secured an ap-
preparation from Congress of $4,000
for the Improvement OF the Sacramento
and Feather Rivers, and on that record
alone deserved to be returned. He ap-
pealed to the people to return him be-
cause he had worked for Sacramento in
and out of season. He appealed from
the vituperations of the "blackmailing
scoundrel' Hearst to the people, and
asked them to pass Judgment upon him
and his acts. If to work for the good of
his city was a crime, then he was guilty,
put II the people desired one OF their
ne1ghbors to represent them for the
good of the city and county, then such
a majority should be rolled UP on cleo
ton day as had never before gone out
to the district,
In conclusion, he appealed to the yot-
ers, irrespective of party, to vote for Bill
Mckinley, and in so doing vote for the
Mckinley bill, which meant protection
to the laborer equally with protection
TO the fruit of his labor. Republican,
ism, he felt satisfied, would be victorious
at the polls, and the people would for
ever repudiate that party which at
tackled the very foundations Of the Gov
ernment in it's TRADE against the Su-
preme Court of the land, and which
boldly made war by pitting one class
against another, in order to attain its
own selfish ends. Republicans should
stand by the party, by the flag and by
the city, and at the coming election their
batte cry should be Sacramento"
Mr. johnson was cheered to the echo,
and at the conclusion of his remarks
Chairman Ryan read letter from e. c..
Hart, candidate for Superior Judge, ex-
pressing regret at his inability to at
tend the meeting.
BRUSHES SHORT TALK.
Jud c. Brusie was the next speaker,
and in his usually happy manner held
his audience with the spell of his ora
tory. though his speech was short. The
time has been reached, he said, when
speech-making stops and Individual ef-
forts step to the front. Individuals must
now put their shoulders to the wheel
and vote for their own interests. This
IS no longer a party f1ght-ft is a fight
Tor principle. On Tuesday next the
people VIII choose between the parties.
and on that day the banner bearing
the magic words. Mckinley, Protec-
tion and Prosperity" would be carried
to victory.
Not one word had the speaker said in
relation to his own fight for the Senate.
yet the audience cheered him vocifer-
ously
LINCOLN WHITE.
Candidate for City Justice Of the Peace.
was the last speaker introduced, and did
little more than make his bow. He was
a candidate, he said, and as such want
ed to be elected. He felt satisfied that
he could fill the position with honor to
nlfnseif and give equal justice to all.
