Illumination---And the Speeches, Monday night last will never be forgotten by those who witnessed the grand demonstration, as long as memory lasts. The Republican meeting held here on that evening was the largest and the most enthusiastic meeting ever held in this county. Not less than five thousand people were present, including ladies, and of the latter there were from five hundred to one thousand. All day long the people came pouring in, from the north, east, south and west, in carriages, buggies, wagons, on horseback and on foot. Long before night our streets were jammed with men and women, who had come here to do honor to our distinguished candidate for Governor, and his colaborer in the good cause, the Hon. James G. Eastman. At four o'clock p. a. thirteen rounds were fired from the ‘‘baby-waker,”’ and at dark, before the procession began to move, and at intervals during its march, rockets were dischanged into the air, which gave a brilliancy to the scene which is indiscribable. Messrs. Booth and Eastman Arrived from Colfax a few minutes before 8 o’clock, and soon afterward the procession commenced forming in front of the Club room, on Broad street under charge of M. S, Deal, as Marshal, assisted by numerous aids, After forming in line the procession, about 600 strong, all bearing torches, moved to the foot of Broad street, where they were joined by the Grass Valley and Rdugh and. Ready boys, numbering over 400 persons, also ...0f San Francises. As it passed our office cheers were given forthe proprietors, and for M. S. Deal, candidate for District Attorthe balconies and in the seats placed around the stund. In passing the National Exchange cheer after cheer were give by the whole line for Booth and Eastman, and John Lancaster. The illumination in the vicinity of the stand was grand and briluant. The front of Banner Bros. store was elegantly litup. In front five-pointed star, with a fine picture of Lincoln in the center. This star had about as many tallow dips as could” possibly be placed upon it. Lester & Mulloy had gus jets the entire lenght of the front of their store, that presented a magnificent appearance. Aieck Sloan, of the Gem Saloon, fitted up a large circle, on the inside of which was a lhirge five pointed star, in the centre of which was a brilliantly illuminated. It attracted great attention and was admired by eveyybody. The building occupied by the Transcript oflice above and by E. M. Preston below, was illuminated yery handsomely. Mr. Preston’s arrangement was charming. Mr. Beckman’s Saloon building, and Mr. Carley’s were also finely illuminated. Mr. George W. Welch’s bookstore also presented —a-fine-ap pearance. Mine host of the Nutional Exchange, although some distance from the stand, also illuminated his large and spacious hotel very elegantly, , The Organization of the Meeting. About 9 o’clock, Pp. M., the meeting wis called to order by Mr. Charles Purinton, and the following named persons were chosen as oflicers: President—Judge A. ©. Niles.— Vive President—Judye Bell aiid Jas, Marriott. Secretary, J. B. Hunter. On taking the. chair, Judge Niles made a few appropriate and well . timed remarks, which were vociferously applauded; after which the Glee Club sang one” of their sgoulcheering, patriotic songs. Music . from the Band followed, and Newton . Booth was introduced to the vast se. . of heads that had assembled to listen to him and dohim honor. He . Was received by the vast crowd with . hearty cheers from the men, and the . waving of handkerchiefs by the la. dies. He spoke fcr about an hour in strains of great. eloquence, and was irequently interrupted by the applause and cheering of the people. It would be foliy for us to attempt to give an outline of his speech, for we should fail to do justice to him or his subjects were we to attempt the effort. On retiring from the stand, nine hearty cheers were given to him by the thousands of people present. Music by the Band followed, and the Glee Ciub sung another of their favorite odes. James G. Eastman Was then introduced and received with tremendous cheering and applause. He spoke about an hour anda half, and held the vast audience together*by the magic of his eloquence, his logical deductions and his inimitable anecdotes, He was bearing torches. The line of march was throngh'Main and: Commercial streets to Pine, up Pine to Broad, up Broad to junction of East and West Broad streets, countermarched to the foot of Broad street, where the delegations from Grass Valley and Rough & Ready disbanded. The balance lustily applauded and heartily cheered when ne closed. Music by the Band and a song from the Glee Club followed, after wuich A. A. Sargent was called out. He took the stand and. was heartily cheered. He opened his. speech by paying his compliments to the editor of the Nevada Ga7ette, who he styled a “miserable dirty sneak anda villain.’’ He then proceeded to discuss the measures introduced by him in Congress for the beneiit of tie ; miners and settlers, and spoke nearly an hour, The meeting closed by giving three hearty cheers for Boow, thiee fur Bastinan, tare for DSargeac and taree for the State and cuuuty tucket, A Meeting at Grass Valley. VThe dvepublican meeting at Grass of the procession passed up Main, Commercial, Pine and Broad streets, to the Club-room, where they depos-. ited their torches The number in proeession was vaed at diferent points, and only two persons agreed as to any ittimber. Judge Caswell, a Democrat, told us large und enthusiastic. dressed by Deal, Sadger, Kent, Watson and Deuel. Those present rep‘resent Mr. Deal's speech to be one of the best ever delivered in Grass Valley, eredit to the party that nominated Vauiey, last Saturday, night, was very lt was adKent acquitted himself with he counted 960 in all. .

At the speakers stand loud . cheers were given for the ladies on . of Goldsmith's there was an immense; large portrait of Newton Booth. The . whole of this circle and star was . One to Voters. To-day, ties m of Nevada County, you have a duty"te perform .tg yourSelvés, to your children, your grand children, to the people oi the State, and to Nevada County. ,To-day you have to.speak through the ballot box and proclaim to the world at large who you will have to represent you ‘im the various offices of State and County. To-day you must determine . by your ballots whether you will have . Haight with all his sins of omission and commission, (and they are numerous) or Newton Booth, whose character is purity itself, to preside over yon. Chodse ye which ye will . have, whether Newton Booth, whose whole life has been one vf dignity and purest principles, or tumblebug Haight, who has been on every side of every question, and not long on . any side. Before casting your votes we desire again to call your attention to the tumblebug’s record : He literally stole (there is no other word that will express it) $3,700 of the people’s money to pay his subscription to the Neuman flags. He took that money out of the secret j law, and gave it to Neuman, and took Neuman's note payable to himself for the amount. He stole $5.0 out of the same . fund and built a monument in honor of Senator Burnett, and that, too, without the authority of law. He violated his oath of oftice by signing the lottery bill, whigh he knew to be unconstitutional, and thereby rendered himself amenable to be tried and found guilty of perjury. . He violated a plain provision of the Constitution of the State, when he. signed. that. lottery bill, which says: “No lotteries shall be authorized by this State,nor shall the sale of lottery tickets be allowed,’’ He violated his pledge to the Young Men’s Christian Association, and to the church to which he belongs, which was that he would do all in his power to prevent the desecration of the Sabbath day; when he promised the Germans that he would law. He violated his promise to the Germans by refusing to sign a bill which the Legislature passed on this subject at the request of the Germans,.Thus showing himself-a-demagogue and a hypocrite. He styled the Chinese “our elder brethren,’ and he “welcomed them to our shores ‘because we can do them good.”’ He made a speech of welcome to the Chinese at the Burlingame banquet. He advised the Legislature to pass a bill abrogating all laws that prevent the Chinese giving evidence in courts of justice against white men; thus showing that he is the true friend of the Chinese. He recommended to the Legislature the rejection of the 15th Amendment, and said that it would be invalid even if two-thirds of the States adopted it. He said at the same time, that the adoption of the 15th Amendment would give the Digger Indian the right to vote instanter. He knew he told an untruth when he made the statement. He now stands ona platform which says that the 15th Amendment was Constitutionally adopted. Hx ts THE Kine or Froprers, In 1856-60, he was‘ Republican. In 1864 he supported McClellan. Afterwards he was a member of Andy Johnson's ‘bread and butter brigade,’’ and in 1868 he supported Seymour and Blair. His life has been one vast series of contradictions, and hence his transgressions, his hypocrisy and deceitfulness. He has no backbone and is not worthy of single vote. VOTERS READ HIS RECORD AND THEN VOTE FoR Boortu. Scratching. The leader of the Democratic party in this county remarked yesterday in conversation, ‘“‘thit any Democrat that scratched his ticket, would bea son of ab—h."" A Republican who had made up his mind to vote for Dickson, walked up to the Democrat and said: “I believe I wont bea son of ab—h. I intended to vote for Dickson and scratch Perrin. I wont do it now.’ The rule holds good both ways. If it makesa man a son of a she dog to scratch a Democrat’s name offa Democratic ticket find vote for a Republican, why wont it perform the same work for a Republican who scratehes a Republican name off a Republican. ticket to vote for a Democrat. De you see the difference? ‘ service fuhd without the shadow of . County Tick Republicans,. Read. If the Republicans of Nevada coumty will-perform their duty today, every man on the Republican ticket will be elected. This is as certain as that the sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening. All that is neeessary* to obtain a great . Republican vietory is for Republi. cans to turm out and vote the whole . Republican ticket from the Governor . down to Constables. ‘ In Grass Valley alone, the Cornishmen that have deelared their inten. tion to vote for Booth ought to give us that precinct by a handsome majority, and it will give us a good majority if the Republicans are true to themselves and work with a will. In this, Nevada, precinct with nearly 1,400 names On the poll list, if the full Republican vote is given, the Republican majority will exceed four hundre. votes. The majority will, of course, be diminished in proportion to the vote given, for our opponents will cast every vote that they have’ voters on the poll list. The great. work of Republicans should not be, to proselyte voters, . but to see that every Republican voter is at the polls. If our friends . will only work with a will and get Republican voters out, all will be well. ‘ Our estimate of the result is, that if every Republican will do his duty . . every man on the Republican State . and county ticket will be elected by a majority of not less than four hun. dred votes. If, however, apathy shall_ prevail. and a full vote not given, the majority will not be so great. We have great confidence, however, that our friends are wide awake and active. Enthusiasm. Never since the Harrison campaign of 1840, have we witnessed so much enthusiasm among the people as prevailed here on Monday night at the great Booth demonstration. Men and women appeared to be wild with joy. If enthusiasm among the people is any precursor of the final result to-day, Newton Booth will as surely be elected Governor, as that the sun-will set this evening. From every part of this State we hear of the same enthusiasm for Booth as has been wiinessed in our own county. Our candidates on the
who have visited every precinct and almost every mit.ing canyp, inform us that they metwith the same enthusiasm for Booth, as was exhibited here on Monday night. This augurs well for our success, and accounts for the elongated visages of our opponents. oan ae A Feast of Reason and flow of Soul, V After the meeting adjourned on Monday evening a few choice Spirits consisting of nearly all our candidates onthe county ticket, all the members of the Central Committee that were in the city, and a few invited guests, met Mr. Booth, Mr. Eastman and Mr. Sargent, in the dining room of the National Exchange Hotel, where a splendid lunch had. been prepared by the very worthy Hostess of that excellent Hotel. After partaking of the lunch, champagne was introdueed, toasts drank, speeches made, anecdotes~ related, and cheers given. “IT Was TRULY A FEAST OF REASON AND FLOW OF souUL.”’ — oo Robert Bell. In 1864, the gentleman named above was the Treasurer of El Dorado county. Here is what the Mountain Democrat, a Democratic newspaper said of him at the time. In its issue of Oct. 12, 1864, it said under the heading of a “Faithful Officer:”’ Robert Bell, our late estimable County Treasurer, made a final settlement with the county on Tuesday, and paid over to his successor in of. fice, J. L. Perkins, $9,742 70 county money, and $11,881 83 Siate money. Mr. Bell, while in office, won the respect and confidence of his constituents by his courtesy, eiilciency and faithfulness. Prompt in his seitlements and affable to all, he left the office with clean hands and an enviable reputation for urbani y and honesty. In his intercourse with the people he never forgot that he was their servant, not their superior, . and so conducted himself that he left nothing to censure, hut mnch to admire in his official character, Differing with him politically we . cannot be accused of partiality ‘in . — bearing willing testimony to his . eliclency, courtesy and probity as a public officer. : i.
