UNEQUIVOCAL INDORSEMENT.

Ad El Dorado View of Congressman Johnson.

Why He Should be Re-Elected in Preferenc3 to Any Other Candidate.

(From the Placerville Nugget.) With the exception of the • Nugget" every Republican paper In this Congressional District has had its little say about the action of the Second ConBressional District Convention in nominating Hon. Grove L. Johnson for reelection to Congress. It is the "Nugget's" time to add its Indorsement of the acts of that convention to the indorsements of every other Republican in the district. The "Nugget," as is well known, is for the Ut equivocal upholding of Republican principles, and it believes that the grand old party is now passing through a crucial test. If the promises made by the platform chosen by our representatives at St. Louis are to be carried out, If we are to raise the burden of these hard times from the shoulders of the masses, if we are to defeat the ruin and poverty inducing measures threatened by the Bryan supporters, if We are to prevent the party of repudiation, the party of free trade, free silver und free souphouses from gaining power in our land which we all love so well we must see to it that our standardbearer, William McKinley, has not his Lands tied, his mouth gagged by a Democratic Congress. The "Nugget" believes that every good and true Republican recognizes the fact that it is duty to do as much as he can to prevent the loss to the party of one in the House of Jiepresentatives at Washington. Everyone counts. The Democratic conditions cf parts of the country, conditions that insure the election of Democratic Conpressmen, leave no room for speculation, and make it so that we cannot uflord to lose one man. Every vote c ounts for the Congressman and places every Republican under the responsibility of duty to party, and country', and that means home and tireside. That Hon. Grove L. Johnson will be an able and efficient aid to the carrying cut of the principles of Republicanism enunciated at St. Louis, no one with reason will deny. He made himself felt at Washington during his first term. Going there a stranger to the conditions that were to surround him, he insisted upon being heard, whether Speaker Reed and his rules of order v ould have It or not, and he was heard. sle kept his State well before his brother members of the national lower }:ouse. He attained recognition for Cali ornia such as no other Congressman l'rom this State has ever done. So far as the interests of El Dorado County are concerned, before every tiling else, of State or local importance to us, our mining industries come first and foremost. They are the predominating bread furnishers to every citizen «>f this county, directly or indirectly. Shut down every mine in the county, and there isn't a man In the county but v. ould feel the great loss. Mr. Johnson Las proven himself beyond all shadow I f a doubt to any man who will accept lacts that he is the friend of our pre•.iominating industry, of our best lnter- < 11. We want him to take up the work v here he left off, and we believe he can So it better than any man who has : \er been there before and certainly jar better than any man proposed for' the office thus far. He is a gentleman of unsurpassed intellectual force and < apacity, and of great strength of character, and the "Nugget," an unequivocal top - to-the - bottom-of - theS ational - Republican - ticket - newspaper, herewith pledges its full, voluntary and hearty support.
