State, and the only Republican Congress-
 men that were elected last time?
 A vOice-The north.
 MT. Taylor-That is right; it was the north You have seen the map. The gen. tlemen from Sacramento exhorted us to
 be united. Is Sacramento County the ce- ment that binds Northern California to Southern California? In union there IS strength. It is known to us men that every office goes below Sacramento and nothing to the north. Is that common
 sense? Is that strength? It is true that
 your candidate has an empty sleeve. We
 say to him, He is honored. Our nation
 honors the soldier. We say he is living
 monument of our cOuntry's chiYalry. We grant him that. Heroic as we are, going home with none of the fruits nor spells of victory we take off our jackets and go
 to work as Republicans. We elect our man; we roll up the maJorltles. HOW lohg
 will you ask us to continue It without
 recognition? You are asking us agan to
 return to our homes, and you expect us
 to meet a new foe this time, ana expecs
 us to put on our armor and nght-What :.
 The product, the fruits of the union or
 Populism and Democracy; an infant Just
 born-the leprous progeny or most ull-
 natural union. You want us, say, 10 re,
 turn to our homes, put on our arinor ana
 fight this new foe, and there is not one
 place on the ticket that you can accord
 to us Is that good politics? Is IL goou
 sense? Is the press to have no voice ln
 all of Northern California, from Sacra- mento up? He is not only an editor, put
 the editor who has stood stead1aSt III
 every fight we have made. We ask on behalf of the north that you take another look at the map and accord us falr anu
 decent recognition, if 1t be ln the eterhdi
 event of things to do so. (Applause) u.
