The work of the "Fifth Congressional District- Republican Couvention at- its meeting - yesterday is shown im the fore- going lines. didates and the nominations weré made by acclamation. Tirey ‘L. Ford made " gracefol and strong " address when placiag Mr. Loud's name before. the. convention, and Charles M: Shortridge seconded the nomination in a vigorous address. - < Mr. Loud placed ‘himself squarely gpon the platform and diréctly pledged himself to vote and work against.the adoption-of any funding bill. When the motion was put by the-chair- man, Alva Watt, to adopt the Republican |. National platform of 1896 as the "platform of theconvention Charles M. Shortridge moved the following as an amendment: Resolved, Thet we are.opposed to the funding of the debts due the Government by the Pdgific railroad companies and ‘we ‘pledge our‘candi- date to Congress'ta voté against all measures looking to that end. The amendment and the platform ‘were |- adopted unapimously with & great burst of applause. After the selection of John D. McKenzie of Santa Clara as secretary of the conven- tion Tirey L. Ford tock the platform and addressed the convention as follows: Mr. Cheirman and Gemtlemen of the Con- vention: ing duty to a personal d. comes the more pleasing from the knowiedge that in the performance of it I shall be enabled 10 “assist in advancing the cause of -good government and promoting the material wel- jare of the people of the Congressional district represented by this convention.

Such is the positioz now occupied by the honorable gentleman who for six years has faithiully represented the pecple ol the Fifth Congressional District of this State. By careinl attention to his legislative duties and a strict adherence to an honest purpose he has steadily gained in the estimation of his _fellow-members, until to-day he is at the head of one of the most important committees of the House, a committee to which is intrusted the legislative affairs of our vast and complicated postal system, involving as it does about one- 1 fifth of the entire annual expenditures of our National Government. On the floor of the House he always com- ‘mands respectful attention and, though gen- erous to those with whom he may differ, he ‘neither asks nor expects quarter respecting a matter of principle to which he has given his adherence. Mr..Chairman, these are not mere idte words. I speak from personal knowledge, and Isay toyou that in neither branch of Congress is there a man that stands for more of official integrity and all that goes to make & careful, safe and efficient representative than does Eugene'F. Loud. 4 i . Let me cite you & single illustration smong -the many that could be brought to your atten- tion respecting the standing and influence of Mr. Loud in the lower house of Congress. One o mesasures which I had the honor to as- 'sisc in nrging upon_ that body involved an_ appropriation of & quarter of a milion of dollars, which we sought to obiain thirough the medium of the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors. The entiredel¢gation from California labored earnestly and harmoniously and with ali the zeal for which Californians are noted to secure i But it was uphill work. It’was a Presidential year; the Government was running behind at the rate of five millions or more &-month as a_.result of Democratic tinkering; a cry for economy in National ex- penditures had gone abroad, and, notwith- standing the sble and united efforts of the California delegation, there still remained enemy—such a man as is Eugene F. Loud —should be elected, triumphantly elected him over Ryland. v “They tell us now.” continued Mr. Shortridge, “‘that our much respected fel- Jow-citizen, Judge Maguire, is invincible— I mean Kelly. [Laughter.] We will de- feat Maguire afterward. Mr. Loud will iriumphantly carry the Fifth Congres- sional District and go back to Congress to serve there with the other and greater statesmen, and will support Mr. M.chnlag in providing a_tariff for California whicl will put laboring men to work with their hands, and not politicians with their mouths, He will support a policy which will respect Americans at home and abroad and who will support the adminis- tration presided over by as distinguished a soldier as himself. He will support the administration presided over by a patriot who believes in the principles you love and which the American people, in No- vember, will indorse by au almost unani- mous majority, notwithstanding the fact that the distinguished gentleman from the West does not propose ihat a crown of thorns shall be pressed down upon the brow of labor, or that it should be cruci- fied upon a cross of gold and notwith- standing that the eloguent gentleman who speaks so lovingly of the workingman is opposed to him. “T welcome such a contest, where those who have been tried and not found want- ing are to go up against the untried and the inexperienced, add 1 am thankful that I am here to second the nomination of that honest man and that spotless Repub- lican, Eugene F. Loud.” g The speaker was frequently interrupted by applause. : - Mr. Loud, in response to a persistent call, appeared upon the platform and was greéted with long continued applause. He spoke substantially as follows: “Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the conven-’ tion: You can hardly anticipate the pleasure itaffords me to indorse the manly platform entnciated by the Republican party at St. Louis this year, and with theamendment that ‘Nominated for Conrgess ; grave doubts as to tire action of the committee to:which we had made our appeal, and I con- fess. I felt somewhat djscoyraged: At this juncture I appenled to Mr. Loud and asked him to use his personal influence with those, in whose hahds lay the decision of. ouf cause. As s00u as he re- alized the gravity of thesifoation he went to work quietiy but_effectively and with a deter-, mination and tenacity I have never Seen ex- celled, ior did he cease hfs labors until the scale had turned-in our favor and the'Califer- a delegation fvere enabled:to record a victory complete as it had been difficult’to obtein. 1 is it alone inZthe halls of legislation has proven his love of During the fiercest civil conflict the world has ever seen, he followed the brave and gallant Sheridan, to rollof honor the record of a,brave and patri- otic'soldier.

Loud. j s In seconding the nomination of Con- gressman Loud, Charlées M. Shorfridge spid that_he believed that many of the delegates before him were present in °the Hotel Vendome in Sin" Jose six _years ago when the’ Hon. Eugene F. Loud was first -nominated. At that time that very dis- tinguished ’fentlemun, that very shréwd politician, Thomas J* Clunie, who by good fortune had occupied hjs seat in Congress when' the Repubricnn majority passed a bill for a Postoffice in San Jose, claimed the credit of that action of Congress. The ‘| old granger, Trmothy Guy Phelps, grew sick and retired from the fizht and in looking over the ranks of the members of the - Fifth C ressional District they 1e F. Loud to take ap .the banner of the'Republican party and carry it to success. He was norhinated and was triumphantly elected over the’ very able Congressman, Mr. Clurnie. There was not.a man there on that day who believed that Mr. Loud had a shadow of a chance for election. It looked as though Clunie were invincible. uring the last campaign, when they nominated that respectuble young man, Mr. Ryland, they were told that Mr. Loud could not be elected, but those who believed that an honest Congressman can live on $5000 a year, the people who believed that a Con- gressman should live upon that and not upon the spoils of office, and who believed that the man who will work faithfully toward the urrvm&ont of his pledges, a man who never flinched in the face of the & hundred victories.and left upon the Nation’s | ceived through some corrupt means large land holdings in San Benito County. You all have heard it. They said, “This man Loud, the no- torious, of cattle-ranch fame.” It is no crime to own land, but let me say to the man or the source from which it emanated that if he will prove that I own or that I have an interest in one acre of land in the county of Sen Benito, orin the State of California or in the United ‘States, I will deed it to_one or mote orphan n;vlums that” he may designate, and if that offer is not sufficiently generous I will deed it to :flm, and that may prompt him to investi- gate. lam to-day in the Republican party to stay as long as God shall give me strength. Thave fought to sustain that flag, and I have labored ever since I was able to vote for the Yerpemhy of the principles of the great Republican party which has made us the greatest Nation on the iace of the earth, and no man or set of men can drive me out of the party. i ‘When Abraham Lincoln was nominated our country was threatened with disruption. Tt is threaténed to-day with financial disruption, which is more ruinous to any country than the segregation of any portion of it. Have you noticed that the strength of the movement comes from the same partof the country? Do you notice that the united solid South is 10w in earnest advocacy of that system which will destroy any country on the face of God’s earth, and that there is arrayed against it the honest yeomanry of the North and West? The Democratic party in 1896 have discoy- ered that the sole panaces for all the ills and evils from which this country is now suffering must be cured by thet magic word, 16 to 1.” Has not this country been prosperous under s present condition ? Was there ever a coun- try more prosperous on the face of the globe than the United States from 1873 to 18937 Why, if this was the sole cause of all our ills, didn’t we fail until the Democratic party came into power, pledged to reform our tariff? In the words of Tom Reed, “A man deceivéd once is human, but a man deceived twice by the same party is a fool.” After the close of Mr. Loud’s speech he Wwas nominated by acclamation. _Chairman Watt addressed the conven- tion and said tnat he desired to nominate for Presidential elector & man whose name was the synonym of enterprise, liberality and progress, of devotion to the best interests of the people, of sympathy with the working people. “This gentleman,” added Mr, Watt, “has doue more for the advancement of the prosperity of the State of California than any other five men who can be classed together in this State. He has set the wheels of progress in motion; his mills and his railroad are in course of con- struction, his buildings are heing erected in this City, and wherever his enterprises are being ‘carried on there will you find the people rallying to his support. That man you all know—tne Hon. Claus Spreckels.” Mr. Spreckels’ name was greeted with prolonged applause, and he was aom- inated by acclamation. For the position of alternate elector, Senator James R. Lowe was nominated by acclamation, 3 The chair was authorized to appoint a finance committee of five, and the con- vention adjourned. et i WILL NOT ACCEPT.

Some men perhaps eain greater notoriety and go to the front more rapidly. by proclajming their own warth, but I have alwiys believed that a man must be judgéa.by his actions. A time, however, comes in the lives of most men when, perhaps, they are called upon to defend themselves for their vwn sake, For twenty years did that fearless statesman, John 8herman, remain stlent under |.the.viflainous accusation that he had been the | instigator of the so-called crime of 1873 until | 1893, when that hoary traitor Senator Stewart | was viltfying a_man 1 his grave unsble to | protect himseli—Hooper of Massachusetts. { Then Senator Shelman rose in his place and said: “The time has come for us to place the truth before the American people.” - Here Mr. Loud read an extract from Sénator Sherman’s speech, in which he ‘quoted Senator Stewart as saying that gold was the only standard, and not paper money, irredeemable in gold, and that the ‘laboring man should receive a dollar that will have the purchasing power of a dol- lar. Everybody knows what a dollar in gold is worth, said Senator Stewart. Mr. Loud-continued: Senator Sherman showed by the record that he had voted against the demonetization act, and that this arch vilifier, Senator Stewart, had voted for it. 1would not defena myself against any atcusations that could be made if 1 were the only fln’ly implicated, but the time has come when I must speak. You of thiscon- vention have been accused of being the hire- | lings of bosses and corporations; that you were brought here almost with & lasso around your necks and forged to nominate Eugene F.Loud for Congress. Ah, you have been slanaered, not I, and you to-day must speak the truth as becomes yourselves. If it be the truth, then don’t vote for me; and if it is a falsehood, then speak in no uncertain tones. - Gentlemen, I have rested under the lash for some time. It has fallen upon my personal back as the gentle rain in the spring upon the budding flower. I wasaccused during the last campaign of never having risen upon the floor of Congress to utter a single word. When the Fifty-fourthCongress assembled and the Re- publican party for the first time was in a com- manding position in that body the accusation was hurled back by Phcing your humble servant at the head of one of the mostim- portant committees in the House of Represen-- tatives. 4 Anintimation had been made that I had re- | demand for Heald's graduates. — e -———— SR night with his friends, who denounced the action of the County Committee and everything done at to-day’s meeting. They declared that the election of the delegates at large was clearly illegal, and that the whole proceeding was prear- ranged. J. C. Boatman, Hilborn’s secre- tary, stated that the decision of the count committee to name all of the election of- ficers is in direct violation of the recom- mendation of the State Central Commit- tee, and under no _consideration will they accept it. They decided that they would take no part in the primary and that they would refer the whoge matter to the State Central Committee A N.W :<CHOOL YEAR. Opening of the Fall Term at Heald’s Business College. z A gratifying téstimony to the popularity and high standing of Heald’s Business Colleze is the fact that despite the hard times the full enroliment shows a marked increase in the attendance. The advant- ages of sending young men and women to an institution of this kind rather to the higher grades of the public schools are be- ing more apparent each year. Pupils are taughtin one-third of the time and are not obliged to pursue studies for which they have no liking. After completing the course graduates are fitted to immediately enter business life as salaried employes.
