WduC IL.
The free silver throng said that silver
was demonetized in 1873. Demonetize
meant to destroy money. In 1873 Cen
eral Grant was President, and not one of
the statesmen of that time raised hfs
voice against the Act, or said that sill
yer as money was being destroyed. The
speaker showed conclusively that silver
had not been demonetized in 1878 or at
any other time, and showed that in four
months after the passage of the bill
more silver dollars had been coined
than in the eighty-nine years preceding,
or since the United States had been in
existence.
In conclusion Judge Catlin said If he
and the other candidates for the Supe-
rior Judgeships were elected, they
would serve to the best of their ability.
III the Legislature the people should
send its representative and able men,
who either had experience or could get
it quick. Brusfe was a man of ability,
who had experience and would, if elect
ed, do the county and himself credit, as
would also the candidates for the AS
sembly.
HARTS SHORT TALK.
The next speaker was E. G. Hart,
candidate for Superior Judge. He be-
gan the study of the law, he said, while
working at his trade-that of printer
and had had some experience, and if
elected believed he would make fair
ly intelligent practical and impartial
Judge.
POST is EMPHATIC.
Hon. c. N. Post the third candidate
for Superior Judge, came next. He
thought that good taste suggested that
judicial candidates should not discuss
politics. He had lived in this city for
thirty-two years and knew the people.
He had in an humble way attempted to
advance and at the hands of the peo-
pie, he hoped to be advanced still fur
ther If elected to the Superior Judge
ship he would return the mantle to the
people as unsullied as when he assumed
it, If elected he would do equal and ex-
act justice between man and man.
The Quintet Club again came to the
front and sang Johnson, Protection
and Home to the tune of "Just Out
side the Millionaire's Door," and the
selection was generously applauded.
WHITE FOR WHITE.
Lincoln White, candidate for City
Justice Of the Peace, was the next
speaker. He spoke, he said, because he
was interested in the success of the Re-
publican party and because he was a
candidate and wanted votes. If elected
he would do his duty well. He wanted
the office because it would do White
some good. If elected the people would
be satisfied with him.
BRUSHES GREAT EFFORT.
Hon. Judson G. Brusie came next with
one of the greatest efforts of his life
Co
floor. he said, from the gates of the
shops to the home, there was a path
over which the grass must never grow.
AS upon the heart depended human life
SO did the life of the country depend
upon the pulse of industry, and among
all political organizations only one
stood forward to foster and protect
those same industries.
Four years ago the people had in
dorsed the Democratic party with Gro
yer Cleveland at the head, and they had
promised great things. Factories should
run in full blast and wages would be
even better than then, but had these
pormises been kept? (Cries of mol
No!') And, continued the speaker,
would you trust man this year who
had thrown you down last? Would you
place confidence in a man who had
broken his contract once? If so, then
another Democrat should be elected
The only path left by which to reach
the prosperity once known is the road
down which the Republican party has
Travelled since its birth. 1t was too late
to indulge in statistics. The time was
near when the people must decide, and
he believed in that decision the people
would choose the old road to prosper
ity, the old Republican road, with Will
lam Mckinley in the van. (Great and
continued applause)
The present fight was not so much for
men as for principle, and notwithstand-
ing the attempt to withdraw .he men
who were standing for principle from
the Republican ranks, he believed it
would come to naught. In the past
When other cities in the State were
shaken to the foundation, old Sacra-
mento had proudly breasted the wave,
and felt secure in her future as long as
the smoke arose from the chimneys of
the railroad shops. The men of Sacra-
mento were just as true as any in the
world, and those who insinuated that
the wGrkmen in the shops would not
vote as they spoke, were casting an ir-
rcDarable insult in the faces of those
~ n, who knew that the very founda-
ticn Of their prosperity depended upon
the election Cf Mckinley.

ENNIS FOR SACRAMENTO
Scott F. Ennis. candidate for the AS
sen Oly from the Twenty-first District,
Vas the next speaker. He believed in
an economic Government, and if that
end was worked to, taxation would cer-
tainly be reduced. If elected, the city
and county would be his first thought,
and afterward the State. Several in
stitutions in Sacramento needed pro-
lection by the coming Legislature-the
State Printing Office, the State Fair
and the State system of school books |
