5. D. WOODS At JACKSON
Our Next Congressman's Re-
ception Here.
FIREWORKS, GANNONS, TORCHLIGHT, HURRAHS
Republican Candidates Address An
Enormous Audience With
Telling Effect.

Telling Effect.
Under the auspices of the Jackson
Republican Club a notable political
demonstration was carried out here
last Wednesday evening, in honor of
S. D. Woods, Republican nominee for
Congress-, who was present and ad-
dressed the people at length, making
many new and convincing points.
The procession, under the supervision
of Marshal A. NJ. Gall, who was assist
ed by Messrs. VIM. Fuller, Joseph
Marie and Herbert L. Palmer, formed
at Court House Square, few minutes
before eight o'clock, and, headed by
the Jackson Band, took up the pre-
scribed line of march through Main,
out Broadway TO Mares and then
ceuntermarohed to North Main and
back to Webb Hall. The parade was
a large one and especially well con-
| Quoted, with the exception of the per-
miscuous shooting of Roman candles,
menace to human eyes, by young
lads. Why such deadly fireworks are
allowed in the hands of the gamins OF
the street is mystery. 1t is only by
the merest good luck that some one
was not seriously injured. At least
twenty persons were hit, but, luckily,
not in the face. Let there be no more
Roman candle shooting by boys in
jackson. All along the line of march
the procession was cheered to the echo
by lovers of Prosperity and more
Prosperity " At intervals, along the
route, huge bonfires sent tongues of
flame heavenward, lighting the way
and adding charm to the inspiring
scene. As usual, the Repu ublicans have
made great political demonstration
in Jackson, but let every voter bear
firmly in mind that heretofore, for 10!
these many years, the Democrats have
knocked the persimmon on the day OF
election. Is it not high time that the
Republican party began to gather a
little fruit in Amador county. Fellow
Republican voter, see that we get that
fruit on the 9Th day of next month.
See that the straight Republican ticket
is voted from top to bottom See that
Moore and Wesley M. Amick are
elected by good margin in each case.
Be as earnest patriotic and enthusi-
| to mark your ticket as you are when
in line with great torchlight pro-
cession. Fireworks, giant powder,
torchlight and hurrahs are all right,
but by the memory OF the immortal
Lincoln, and by the faith you have in
the s'Gran6 Old Republican Party"
give the Democrats their medicine this
time.
AT wERR HALL,
After the parade, Webb Hall, which
had been elaborately decorated for the
occasion, was opened and every avail
| able space soon appropriated by eager
| listeners. Foremost among these was
Sheriff U. S. Gregory, who occupied
front seat and paid marked attention
convinced, for he is a very trou blesome
victory and all that, you know. In
deed he has the reputation of being the
shrewdest politician in Amador county.
We sincerely trust that Sam D. Woods
gave Sheriff Gregory dose, ''such
DOSE in the language of Old Flint
winch, that he will see the error of his
way and come out and squarely say
that he was never more prosperous in
all his life than he has been under Nc
Kinley's wise and patriotic admin;stra-
| ton. Own up to it, fairly and squarely,
my dear sir, and case your conscience
The meeting was called to order by
Jas. E. Dye, Secretary of the County
Central Committee, who made good
Introductory speech and introduced
w. A. Newcum, Chairman of the meet
ing. Mr.. Newcum responded in we'll
| worded remarks, and after music by
| the band, introduced Fred l.. Stewart,
Republican nominee for Assembly, who
made an eloquent speech. His effort
was triumph for his friends and for
himself. His wit brought the house
down several times, and his logic was
good. Fred l.. Stewart will make an
able representative in the Legislature,
and the people of the Fifteenth Dis
trict will make a mistake they will rue
later if they do not send him there.
After the cheering had subsided, at
| the close of Stewards speech, a quar-
tette, composed of DIR. Z. BOsworth
Aiken, James E. Dye Jr., John Hos
kins and Fred o. McClutchen, sang an
inspiring campaign song that elected
loud and prolonged cheering. VIM.
Tam, nominee for Supervisor of this
Township, was then introduced and
made an excellent speech, one that
carried conviction with it. All who
heard him must be convinced that, if
elected, he will serve the people faith
fully, ably and judiciously. When he
closed his remarks, the entire audience,
| including number of Democrats, ap-
plauded to the echo. VIM. Tam will
be the next Supervisor in Township
One.
The Band gave good one and
James E. Dye Jr., sang a solo with
great effect. AS we have before re-
marked, on some other occasions,
James E. Dye Jr, is a mighty bright
young man. He maintained his repu-
tatiOn in that respect last Wednesday
night, and the audience appreciated
the fact and applauded until he came
before them the second time. The
little improptu speech he made was a
happy one, and it left the audience in
fine fetter for what was to follow.
| More music, and Sam d. Woods, the
lion of the evening, Republican nOmi
nee for Congress in the Second Con-
gressional District, was introduced.
Mr.. Woods dispassionately, but logi-
cally, convincingly and in the best of
good nature, began at the beginning
and unraveled the tangled skein of
Organism. Step by step he went over
the road and cleared the Republican
highway of demagogic refuse which
Bryan and his misguided followers
have been dumping into it for the past
four years. He made many new and
| telling points, and when he closed,
