JOHNSON'S NOMINATION.
\ Mountain Paper Proposes Three
Cheers and Two Tigers.

(From the Angels Camp Echo)
On the 18th inst. the Republican Con-
gresSional Convention met at Sacra-
mento, and among other important
things that were done nominated the
Hon. Grove L. Johnson for Congress
man of the Second District. This is as
it should be. The Hon. Grove L. John
son has performed much good during
his term just completed, and as his first
term only fitted him to perform an extra
amount of good work, it is just, for the
great welfare of the country in general,
that he receive the nomination and
again be elected.
Grove l.. Johnson had the backbone
to introduce bill praying for the re-
striction of foreign immigration, and
what was lacking then to make it law
will, with Mckinley as President and
Grove l.. Johnson as Congressman, be-
come a law. Stop foreign immigrant ton
and give us protection again and pros
perity is assured. The financial ques-
ton will be regulated for the best inter
ests of the Nation under Republican
rule, but we must first have protection
and secondly throw off the gang-plank
at Castle Garden.
speaks volumes in favor of the good
judgment of the Republican delegates
who nominated him. They can foresee
the great good that will come to the
whole country through the nomination
and reelection of the Hon. Grove L.
Johnson. The miner, if he has his own
interests at heart can see that it is to
his own welfare that Mr.. Johnson be re-
oil 40 of n 1at
his interests are safe in Mr.. Johnson's
hands; the American citizen can see
that in the reelection of Mr.. Johnson
that American labor will be protected
against the invasion of foreign pauper
labor, and that immigration will be
dealt a death blow; and the Nation
North, South, East and West-will gain
by the presence of Hon. Grove l.. John
son in the Congress of the United
States for he is a statesman, scholar
whole country as we'll as for his own
district and State. Mr.. Johnson's rec
ord is before the people, and not a word
from a reliable source has or can be
said against the wise and honorable
course pursued by him while in Con-
gress. Mr. De Vries, his opponent, is,
lacks in many ways those very essen
tial things which make more than a
gentleman-a statesman as well. Mr.
Johnson is a gentleman of the highest
responsibility, statesman of great
ability, and a man who, as a friend, is
as true as the needle to the pole. His
word is his bond. AS public servant
his honor has never been questioned,
except by the San Francisco Exam
iner''-the hotbed of unreliability, envy
and deceit It's censure of Mr.. Johnson
relative to his connection with the min
eral land bill, proceeded from anything
but truth. That paper in it's vicious
vaporings denounced Mr.. Johnson for
doing what was right; hence, what
credibility can attach to such a paper?
What reliability can be placed in its ut
terances? 1t is quick to assert, but fails
to substantiate worth a cent. 1t can't
substantiate a sentence uttered against
Mr. Johnson, and its editor knows it.
Mr.. Johnson is all right, and the people
know it. and whether or not 1T pleases
the Examiner the people of the Sec
ond District, irrespective of politics or
the vaporings of the Examiner" will
support and re-elect the Hon. Grove l..

District of California Three cheers
and two tigers for the Hon. Grove L.
