rooms had been secured for them.
As the time for the meeting drew
near salutes were fired, bonfires blazed,
red fire lighted up the heavens with its
lurid glare, and. two bands of music
filled the air with enlivening and patriotic strains. Firecrackers and bombs
were discharged on. all sides, and for
over haif an hour the jollification was
kept up. Owing to some misunderstanding the members of the McKinley
Club failed to assemble at the Union
Hotel in sufficient numbers at the time
appointed, so the proposed procession
was abandoned. Although this caused
-some little disappointment to the public it did not dampen the ardor of the
.great throng, as was attested when the
doors of the Theater were. thrown open
and the people began to pour in. Ina
few minutes the hall was crowded to
its full capacity, and hundreds had to
turn away, being unable to gain admisr
The stage was nicely decorated with
flags and flowers. After music by the
band the meeting was called to order
by Hon. J.M, Walling, who introduced
Hon. Josiah Sims as President of the
evening, and also announced that the

President Sims made-a few neat and
appropriate remarks, and then introduced Hon.eGrove I. Johnson. He
stated also that an overflow meeting
would be held in Armory Hall, to be
addressed by Governor Markham.
_ When the cheers with which he was
-greeted had subsided, Mr. Johnson
commenced his address.
He thanked them for their cordial re«ception, he thanked. the Chairman for
the kind words he had spoken, and said
he was very much pleased at the large
attendance. It was very pleasing to
meet with such a flattering reception in
this city, and it argued well for the success of the Republican party. He was
glad to see so many woman present as
he believed they had a right to take an
interest in politics, and when the Republican party carried the State at the
coming election, it would not be two
years before the women of this great
State were entitled to vote. When that
time came, and he was assured that the
women of his district were in his favor,
he would retire to his home, sit down
and pay no further attention to the
election, as he would rest assured that
right would conquer. This election is. away to New York. He is a blacksion. s 7

an appropriation of $250,000 to be expended in building eestraining dams. I
voted for this appropriation and worked for it, because it would be the means
of protecting the farmer, and would at
the same time enable the miner to
carry on his business. I wanted the
work done under the supervision of
the Government engineers, and was
glad that both sides had endorsed my
bill.

Mr. Johnson made a strong appeal to
the miners to stand by those who had
stood by them. Mining is the leading
industry of Nevada county, and the
people are interested in obtaining legislation beneficial thereto. He had secured valuable aid for the miners from
Congress, and is confident he could do
more and continue the good work if he

He concluded his very able and forcible address with the following peroration. aot
“You have all at times in these
mountains seen the Storm King in his
wrath. You have heard the roaring of
the thunder, of the gods’ artillery
reverberating through the heavens.
You have seen the terrible lightning of
his swift sword flash in electric current
across the horizon. You have heard
the roaring of the river andthe waters
of the great deep as they seemed ready
to deluge the earth again. Your hearts
have sunk within you with fear, as you
have listened to the storm as it gathered.and broke and seemed to presage
a wreck of matter and a crash of
worlds; and then, when you have. become afraid you have seen shining
through all the darkness that pressed
like a funeral pall upon the. earth the
gorgeous tinted rainbow, the promise
of God Almighty unto man that the deluge no more should come, that the
earth should be redeemed and should
be preserved to man and his descendants forever.
“And so today you can see shining
through all the darkness of partisan
rancor, through the murky vapors of
slander and detraction, through all the
noise and tumult of political passion
and prejudice and assault, through all
the clamor of calamity and financial
distress—you can see shining through

the mining sections should support the
man who had rendered them good service and who was prepared to again do
their bidding, and that slight’ differences.on other questions ought not to
e&use them to withhold that support,
which he believed he was justly entitled to.
He then stated he understood somebody has made some sort of objection
to him on account of his action on the
Funding bill.
“Do you know where that objection
began?There is a man by the name
of W. R. Hearst., He formerly lived ia
