ninth WARD REPUBLICANS.
THEY HELD A HIGH JINKS LAST
EVENING.
County Candidates Made Addresses
and q Good Program
Was Given.

The rally and high jinks given by
the Ninth Ward Republican Club at
Twentieth and o streets last night drew
out a large and enthusiastic crowd.
The meeting was called to order by
the President of the club, John FL. Do
Ian, who delivered a neat address, IN
the course Of which he eXhorted the
voters of the ward to stand firm and
vote the Republican ticket from top
to bottom
Culver A. De Coe opened proceedings
with an organ solo, which was we'll re-
ceived.
The Ninth Ward Trio followed with
several gIees, and then President Dolan
presented Charles It. Jones. Republican
nominee for District Attorney.
Mr.. Jones' speech was characteristic
of the man. He advocated working and
voting for the whole ticket from
Governor to Constable. He submitted
that a better man for Governor than
Henry T. Gage had never been nomi-
mated. He was upright, honest and
was entirely free from entanglements
with any corporation.
Mr.. Jones mentioned his two oppo-
nents, both of whom he said, were Re
publicans before the convention met,
and both had tried for the nomination
for District Attorney. He asked the
support of every Democrat, Populist
and Silver Republican, inasmuch as
none Of them had candidate of their
own, but were asked to vote for Repub-
Icans who had tried for the nominal
ton before the Republican convention
and failed.
Frank T. Johnson, candidate for
Sheriff, was the next speaker. He said
he believed he had fulfilled all the
promises made by him when four years
ago he was running for the same Of
flee. He said he had travelled through
the county and spoken at ten different
places, and felt satisfied that in those
places his opponent was not in it. He
believed that virtue ought to be re-
warded, and hoped the voters would re-
elect him. He, however, liked a good
song better than a poor speech, and
closed to give the Athletic Club Quar-
tet a chance.
The quartet accordingly responded in
their usually happy manner with
Moonlight on the Lake" They were
encored and responded with a medley
which caught the popular fancy.
A. S. Greenlaw, candidate for County
Treasurer, was next called, and said
he was prouder than ever before that
he was a Republican. He, with the
other candidates, had travelled through
the county and had been met by large
crowds. As the candidates were not
orators, he deduced that the crowds
had been drawn together through their
own loyalty to the grand old party
Mr. Greenlaw said he had been connect
ed with the Office Of Treasurer, as Dep
uty and Treasurer eight years. When
he first became connected with the Of
fee the county was in debt over $780,
coo, and since that time the debt had
been reduced $25S, 900. The interest
on the debt, which was $50, 900 annual
", had been reduced to less than 500
600. He thought he had had something
to do with that great reduction. He
was willing to leave his case in the
hands Of the people
P. ]. Johnston and George A Ander-
son of the Kohler and Chase Mandolin
Club rendered an exquisite duet on or
gan and mandolin. They were en-
cored.
J. c. Boyd, candidate for County
Surveyor, said he, too, had travelled
through the county, and wished to re-
1terate what had been said by Messrs.
Jones and Greenlaw concerning the en-
couraging outlook in the rural districts.
He called attention to some of the du-
ties Of County Surveyor, and said that
the old piece work on county roads had
become a thing Of the past and that
good and substantial roads were being
made and steel bridges being construct
ed. He said that if elected he would,
as he had done in the past, do his whole
duty to the county and TO the people
of the county.
George c. AcMullen, candidate for
Coroner, said 1t was gratifying to him
self and the other candidates to come
in from their canvass of the county and
find that the clubs were doing such
good work for them. He said that If
elected he would perform his duties
faithfully.
B. F. Howard, candidate for Superin-
tendent Of Schools, was the next
speaker. He said the opinion gener-
ally prevailed that the County Super
intendent had very little to do with
city schools. He explained that such
was not the case, and enumerated the
duties Of the superintendent respecting
the city schools. He promised to give
his entire time and attention to the
duties Of the office If elected.
Major W. A. Anderson, though not a
candidate, was called for and made a
ringing speech in favor of the Repub-
1ican candidates and Of Republican
principles. He said there was no
room in the United States for the mon
grel element which was trying to dis
rupt Republican principles. He said
st was the duty of every man to vote
the Republican ticket because it repre-
sented the prjTiples of true Ameri-
canism.
Elwood Bruner, being called for, said
he was present to speak for the cleo
ton Of no particular candidate, but for
the whole Republican ticket. There
had never. he said, been better ticket
nominated in Sacramento County than
the one now before the people. Mr..
Bruner said the stories circulated by
the Democratic yellow journals in the
United States to the effect that the
soldiers in the war had not been prop
erly treated had been proven false by
the evidence of the soldiers and their
