PIE.
IN President Mckinley and our Re-
publican Congress we are admonished
by their acts that the American idea of
protection to all American institutions
now prevail in the United States. We
are in favor Of the strictest economy in
all municipal affairs and pledge all our
candidates to this sentiment, and viii
hold them to strict accountability to
the people for their acts.
I'VE pledge our candidates for Mayor
and Trustees to all needed public i'm
-provements. particularly regarding the
senitary and health conditions of the
city, Which includes a thorough and ad-
equate sewer system; also, good perma-
nent street Improvements.
I'VE demand the faithful enforcement
and administration OF ali laws and or
dinances without partiality or favor
itism.
We pledge our Mayor and Trustees
to the reform Of the police, fire, health.
street and other departments Of the city,
that a better system of self government
shall obtain.
We believe that the growth and prog
ress of this city demands better sup
Ply of pure water and to that end we
favor such action as may be necessary
on the part Of the Mayor and Trustees
to attain the same.
We pledge ourselves and our party
to hold each and every officer response
bic for tbs faithful performance of his
trust
we cordially indorse the earnest zeal
Of Senator George c. Perkins in behalf
of the interests Of our State, and for his

cts OF the Republican party
LAND FOR MAYOR.
Nominations for Mayor being in or
der r.. II. Berley said that after a res
idence in the city OF twenty-nine years
and close observation of citizens and
business men, he believed himself quail
fed to speak for one whose word was
as good as his bond. who had been
successful in his business enterprises.
He believed that when he mentioned
the name of William Land the assem-
bly, would agree with him as to his fit
ness for the important Office for which
the convention was about to make a
nomination. He has always been sue
cessful in his business ventures, and
his name stands high in both this and
other communities. Starting a poor
man, he has built himself up to a pros
porous citizen. 1t is important for
the Mayor to be in harmony with the
Board OF Trustees and with such a
man the prosperity Of the city is as
sured. If Mr.. Land is elected, he felt
satisfied that he would make a Mayor
fully equal to any that have gone be-
fore him.
C. NJ. Beckwith seconded the nomina-
ton, saying that Mr.. Land could not
be beaten and would make a Mayor of
whom the city of Sacramento would be
proud.
There being no other nominations, the
nominations We're closed and sound
finance being cardinal principle of
the Republican party. w. A. Anderson
moved that each candidate be assessed
50 The motion was amended to make
it $40, except the School Directors and
City Trustees, the latter to be assessed
50. The motion was then carried.
Mr.. Land was then called for, and
responded amid great applause. He
said it was his first appearance before
any convention, and he thanked them
for the honor done him. He had al
uted to the success of the party. He
had come here in 1860, a penniless boy,
and, beginning at the bottom of the
ladder, he had worked himself up to
his present position. In 1875 he found
himself with the hard work of fifteen
years swept away by the flames. I'm
daunted, and believing in the future
prosperity Of the city, he rebuilt his
house and had since invested all his
money in this city. He was at present
in a position to give attention to the
eity's business If elected he would
give the citys business the same care
he had given to his own, and there
should be no jobbery in any depart
ment, and every man in the city's en-
ployment should do his duty
His address was received with a
storm OF applause, and his nomination
was made by acclamation. after which
he thanked the convention for the
honor done him.
