NINTH WARD REPUBLICANS.
THEY HOLD A MEETING AND
HEAR MANY SPEECHES.
Enthusiasm, Resolutions, Speaking,
Refreshments and a Good
Time.

There was largely attended and en-
| thusiastic meeting of Republicans at
| the Ninth Ward Republican Club at
| Twenty first and NJ streets last night,
| Many candidates and others made
| speeches, there was music, and the
| spirit of the audience was often mani
! tested in cheers. Refreshments were
served during the evening.
The first speaker was Judson Brusle,
| who made a general address on the
| principles of Republicanism and the
| duty of the hour. He held that the
| country would look to State and mu-
nicipal elections this year, and that 1t
would be a shame for the Capital City
| to fail to give a big Republican major
| ity. Under Cleveland" he said, men
| marched through our streets in rags;
| under Mckinley they are marching to
| fight for and defend the flag. The
grand old party is right and the silent
man in Washington will keep his eye
on the vote of Sacramento. Declare
yourselves for Mckinley by your Re-
publican vote in this election"
Following Mr.. Brusie the Sacramento
Athletic Club Quartet sang, after which
| Charles Robertson spoke for the ticket
and urged everybody to vote it without
scratch.
Hanlon and Donovan sang and re-
cited humorous selections, after which
city Attorney A. A. De Ligne made a
| brief, modest and pleasing address. He
| thanked the club for it's fine greeting
and urged the people to stand by the
| ticket. He believed good government
came from party action, and thought
Independent action subversive of true
craftsmanship, because such action was
divorced from responsibility.
S. Luke Howe arose to say that City
Attorney De Ligne was too modest,
having failed to say he was a candi-
date for reelection. Il am for him
| because he has been an honest and
capable officer said Mr.. Howe, and
as rebuke to ]. Charles Jones, who
was first a Republican, then Indepand-
ent, and now Democratic. am also op-
posed to J. G. March, who took part
in the last Republican convention and
who now asks our support Such con-
duct by these recreant Republicans
should be reprimanded at the polls"
{. E. Hill sang, and the orchestra
rendered popular air, after which A.
L. Frost made a brief but stirring
speech, urging the public to support
the Republican ticket and thereby give
Mckinley an Endorsement and promote
good government in Sacramento as
we'll.
Theodore Koenig, founder of the
Third Ward Republican Club, made an
eloquent and argumentative plea for
George Clark and all the Republican
ticket. He said it was the duty Of the
party to elect the whole ticket, and he
believed in organization
Attorney J. w. Johnston of the
Eighth Ward was called for, and he
responded with a ringing speech on
local and national issues He said he
was an Ohio Republican and he be-
lieved it the duty of a Republican voter
to maintain the platform and the whole
ticket He said w. J. Bryan pretend
ed to be Jeffersonian Democrat, yet
1t could be shown that the old Democ-
racy was for expansion; that vast
quantities of territory were taken by
the country under Democratic rule, and
that McKinley's policy was the Amer
lean policy.
"Cleveland's policy filed the coun-
try with 100000 tramps," he said.

railway companies into the hands of
receivers, and promoted but one indus
try-free soup houses all over the
United States"

siasm for the ticket after which the
following resolutions were adopted:

city is to WELD an influence in securing

duties devolving upon them; therefore

Sacramento.
Resolved, That the able services of
