2 L, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1897. - Maboney was the only Republican who did not vote for Mr. Perkins. The Democrats had a free and easy and divided up among several candidates, none of whom had been placed in nomi- nation. Jonn Joseph Dwyer, Billy Foote, Sen- r Langford and Charles D. Lane of the Silver Committee, received the compli- | mentary vote of the Democracy. So it was settled that George C. Perkins was the choice of the Senate, and over in the | other side of the building the Repub-| licans in the Assembly were doing the same thing, and Mr. Perkins’ friends were sure at last that Colonel Jackson and the other colonels were about to get collector- ships of the portand other fat plums of Senatorial patronage. e IN THE SENATE.

Many factors contributed to | the remarkable expression of the popular will | in fuvor of Republican principles in that county. Not the least of the influences was the fact that the legislative ticket embodied in itself the avowed candidacy of our towns- man gad fellow-citizen, George C. Perkins, for United States Senator. He is peculiarly a man of the people, and is properly tho champion notof the rich and the privileged, but of the larly, to send m States Senate. SENATOR GEORGE C. PERKINS, Elected to Succeed Himself. (From a Photograph by Taber.) | plaia, common people, whom Lincoln eaid that tue Lord must love because he made so many of them. Although he is an employer of labor and a manager, and in control of great shipping in- terests, still in this State the voice of his em- ployes has never been liited in complaint against him. He was not born rich, but he earned and acquired his position. Mr. Perkins begun life a poor boy. He to that extentembodies in himseli something of the meaning of Gar- field’s remark when he said that he never met a ragged urchin but what he felthe might owe him s salute, for he knew not what possibili- ties for the future were in him. He has energy and intelligence and this has been shown by his career in the Senate. Mr. Perkins has made a record of which not only he but the State which he represents may well feel proud. Eastern commonywealths maintain their pre- eminence in Congress by returning time and time again their representatives who have ex- perience and position. Catifornia may well profit by their example in according a re- newal for six years of the term of office to Mr. Perkins as their representative. This man of whom I speak does not parade his virtues, and yet he is popular because he has charity and because he has liberality—a liberality and a charity which not ds- played before the publicof munificent gifts, but by the continued and ever-increasing sub- stantial kindnesses which have gore out from him to his fellow-men. California is a great State. Ithas many in- terests, and if Senator Perkins Isreturned he will truly represent these interests.@fHe loves the mines of this State, which pour forth their mineral wealth into the “hannels of trade, be- causehe once worked in them. He loves the great agricultural regions and the valleys of this State, because he has seen their growth and has had a part in their development. He loves the cities of this State, because he has seen them expand from villages into great municipalities. He loves the north ana he loves the south as well, for the reason that they play a glorious partin the greatness of Cali- | fornia to-dny and because tnere are romantic associations of the past with the present, of the old times of quictude and peace, of the ranch and mission days in Alta and in Lower Californis, regarding which General Vallejo wrote in the Century Magazine some years ago. * As legislators, let us understand that in this matter we are charged with a bigh and sol- emn trust. Letus further understand that as t0 this our duty ends in the election of a Uni- ted Staies Senator, and he on his part there- uvon stands charged with all of the responsi- bilities of his position. Our choice then should | be in favor of one wko is worthy of the honor, who has int grity, ability, and who can fitly | perform his part in carrying o and perpetua- ting the principles upon which our Govern- | ment is founded. Letus further understand that the Repub- lican party by its successes is committed to certain great principles, not in the old plat- forms and the old issues, for they have passed | away. Asan organization, however, we have | made promises to the peaple of this State, to | the people of this const and to the people of the United States. While T speak as a legislator, and not as & partisan, still belicying, I may affirm, that the Republican party to which so many of us here belong has, for over thirty vears, redeemed every promise, its every proplecy has been julfilled, and it stands to-day before the Na- tion and before civilization with its integrity unquestioned, The duty, then, of our Senator at Washing- ton wiil in a great part be to perform our promises, to do as the party has done in the past, have its platforms pass into history, nave its declarations pass into precedents and find their way into constitutional amendments and statutory enactments, But if George C. Perkins is, as he must be, elected a United States Senator, it will not be as a Republican. nor on behelfof the Republican party, but it will be as & Californian and as an American. Then und now we with our S»nator wiil be only citizens of one commonwealth, united againet common dangers, standing upon a common platform, and advocutes of & common cause, and that cause advaucement, success, prosperity, humanity and a higher and a grander civilization. Let ps now, casting aside partisanship, be- lieve that we are on the threshold of a great National career, and that we point now to the star of hope for American manufactures, for American labor, for American, commerce, and the completed grandeur of the\American peo- ple as & whole, While I would like to see the career of our party perpetuated, still 1 would far more and beyond this see the glory of California and the United States and the glory ana happiness of our people perpetuated and adyanced, regard- less of party. 2 Holdirg as T do these views, Lelieving as I do in these principles, having as T have a su- preme confidence in the man of.my choice, I nominate for the high office of United States Senator from the State of California the Hon. George C. Perkins. Benator Bulla of Los Angeles was the next speaker. The Senator told of Mr. Per- kins’ early strucgles in life, and highly complimented him on his integrity. In seconding the nomination, Senator Bulla said: I desire to second the nomination of. the distinguished gentleman whose name has tor irom the Twenty-seventh District. In doing so I shall attempt no eulogium upon Dis life or character. He needs no such ser- vice at my hands b>fore this assemblage or he peop e of the State of Calilornis, for vase as is the atea of our great commouwealth, there is within its confines no hamlet so re- mote but that the name of George C. Perkins isa household word therein. In every com- munity ther: are men who, by their industry, foresight and sound judgment, rise above the commonplace of « their surroundings and achieve success in life, where men of less ability and force of character meet only with failure. Such men make history, and the his- tory of such men is the truest and best history of the time and place ia which they live. And in modern times at least there has been o | more unique or thrilling chapter of history in- dited than that describing the experiences of those sturdy pioneers who, almost a half cen- tury ago, left their homes of comfort or luxury in the Fast and braved the hardships and perils of a journey to the new El Dorado ch had been discovered on the broad Pa- cific. Humor, pathos, burlesque and tragedy were all enacted in the lives of those men, and we Californiaus ot to-day who are enjoy- ing the marvelous results of their courage and determination owe them a debt of grati- tude which has bsen but scaniily recognized and which can never be repaid. Among those hardy men there came some time in the “fifties” a penniless youth from the rugged and rockbound shores of Maine, fired with the persistency of purpose and de- termination of character which are the heri- tage of every New England boy. I need not recount the events of bis life from the time of his arrival in California to the present. They are & part of the every-day history of his adopted State. As mewsboy, clerk, merchant, miner, legisiator, Governor and United/Siates Senator his name is identified with every step of progress and advancement in our wonder- ful State—material, social, educational and political—for the last quarter of & century, Few men have had more varied experiénces— none has preserved through them all & more honorable name or more unsullied reputation. His holding of public office has always been because that indescribable but all-powerful agency, public sentiment, has demanded his appointment or election. Many of us who sit in this chamber to-day remember well how two years ago we were chosen as members of the California Legislature upon the express condition that our votes should be cast for George C. Perkins for United States Senator and how, notwithstanding the most stren- uous efforts of other able and worthy aspirants for the office, he was returned to the position he had so satisfactorily filled. And now, fellow-members of the Senate, it again devolves upon us in our official eapacity to choose his successor in office. Personaliy I hove some time in the near future to see the intelligent people of our progressive State per- form ihis duty for themselves by their direct vole, but at present we can only execute the law as it eXisis. But in this instance our duty is plain—our task an easy ome. We are but the representatives of those by Wwhose grace we are here chosen by them under the law to execute their will. For myself, representing in part that rich and rapidly devalopiug section lying south of the Tehachapi, I am left in no doubt as to the wishes of my people. My instructions are clear, definite aud not to be disregarded. In many other districts the peovle have also spoken in mno less certain tone. But even though there had been no instructions to & singie member here, there would be no room for honest doubt as to the choice of our people for United States Senator. It is as certain as the sun will continue to shine in the heavens that if the election of United States Senator could be submitted to_ a vote of the people of this State to-day the Hon. George C. Perkins would ba chosen by an overwhelming major- ity, and “'the peopie” are always to be trusted. Thank God, the old adage, “Vox populi, vox Dei,” isstill true in our great Republic, and God forbid that it shall ever cease 10 be true, for when it does then will government of, for been 5o ably presented by the eloquent Sena< and by the people perish forever from the face of, earth. Fellow-Senators, let us heed the voite of our people and exeoute their will by casting our votes for the re-election to the United States Senate of the distinguished in- cumbeunt, Hon, George C. Perkius. Senators Gilette and Smith also sec- onded the nomination. Senator Morehouse of Santa Clara took the floor for the purpose of witbdrawing the name of Samuel M. 8hortridge from the opniest. He spoke as follows: “I do not rise on this occasion for the purpose of making a speech. Unfortu- nately that speech has been reserved for two years. The occasion has arisen in the ranks of the Republican party within the last few days, which compels me to with- draw and not nominate my friend, Hon. S. M. Shortridge. I had hoped that on this occasion I might be permitted to pre- sent for your consideration the eloquent young orator of San Franclsco. I do mnot propose to eulogize him, for a life that needs eulogy is unworthy of it, and a life that requires a panagyric is unworthy of my support and suftrage. His life and record should stand as a monument for themselves. But following out the will of the Republican party and caucus I with- draw the name of the Hon. Samuel M. Shortridge, and I second the nomination of the Hon. George C. Perkins.” The roll was called with the following result: Perkins 27, Daniel M. Burns 1, Charles D. Lane 1, B. F. Langford 3, W, W.Foote 5, John Joseph Vwyer 8./Total 40. Senator Manoney voted for D. M. Burns, S e IN THE ASSEMBLY. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Jan. 12.—The As- sembly went through the routine of regu: lar business this forenoon until 11:30 o'clock and then took a recess until noon, the time appointed for the election of a United States Senator. Before that hour the gallery was filled with spectators, and the lobby spaces on the main flcor of the Assembly were occupied until f:hera was no longer standing-room. The aisles and places alongside of members were fil)'ed with Iadies who had assembled at the in- vitation of Assemblymen to observe the proceedings. Colonel J. P. Jackson took a position in the aisle to the left, rear of North of'Aln- meda. Colonel Dan T. Cole was within supporting distance. % When the hands of the clock indicated tie minate of 12 Speaker Coombs an- nounced that the time had arrived for the election of a United States Senator to suc- ceed the Hon. George C. Perkins. North of Alameda introduced the custo- mary resolution in accordance with the law and the rules. The clerk read the statutes bearing on the subject. When the perfunctory reading was finished the Speaker declared that nominations for United States Senator were in order. Waymire of Alameda was recognizec. He spoke as follows: Mr. Speaker: During the latter part of last November, just before his departure for Wash- ington, the junior Senator from thisState in the Senate of the United States wrote mea letter saying that he would esteem it a great honor to be re-elected while attending to his duties at Washington, asking if I thought he could safely remain away and requesting me to place his name before this Assembly. I answered that I thought he could be re-elected without returning and that I would comply with his request. I am here to keep that promise, and I now place in nomiuation for the office of Senator ot the United States for the term beginning March 4, 1897, the Hon. George C. Perkins. Senator Perkins is too well known, sir, to require any eulogy from me. Though still in the prime of life he has for a generation been an active and efficient agent in the upbuild- ing of this great Commonwealth. Coming here in his early youth as a sailor-boy, he at once tound profitable employment {n our gold mines. Soon afierward he became a merchant and prospered in that occupation. Twenty- eight years ago he was elected a State Sénator and served at the first session held in this building. ItwasthenImade hisacquaintance. As the representative of a great journal I watched his work from day to day and tearned to admire the young man for his industry, for his tact and for his genial disposition. A few years later he removed to San Fran- cisco end, his heart still yearning tor the see, he became larely interestea in the ocean car- rying trade. Under bis skiliful ‘management, his steamships plowed the Pacific Ocean from Alaska to Pansma. He became weslthy and a power in the land. In 1880 the people of this State made hith Governor, in which office heserved with success and honor. Subse- quently, in varjous parts of the country, he ventured upon important enterprises, always mainteining & high standard of business in- tegrity. Four years ago he was appointed a Senator of the United States to succeed the late Senator Leland Stanford. At the last session of the Legislature he was elected to serve out the remainder of the term. During the late campaign he went before the people of the State and made an open, manly confest for re-etection. The people seem to have indi- cated their desire that he should be returned 10 the Senate for a full term of six years. Itis our duty and it is my plessure .to bow to their will. In public life as in private life there is nothing more sacred than a promise deiiber- ately made, When given to the people. by & poiitical party in its platform it must be Kent or the people will lose faith in the party. When given by a candidate for office to the convention which places him before the peo- ple, or when given by the candidate himself 1o the people who elect him, it must be kept or the candidate will forleit his right to public confidence. > Political parties are essential to good gov- ernment. Good faith upon the part of public men in thelr dealings wit with the people is necessary to the mainten- ance of parties. Without strict observance of 1t, 10 Man can attain real eminence in public Flife. Itruat, sir, that the candidate whom I named may be elected and that his services in the Senate may be iruitfulof good resultsto the State and of consequence to himself. The applause following Judge Way- mire’s speech was moderate and brief. Judge Bridgford, Democrat and Popu- list, obtained the next recogunition of the Speaker and placed in nomination J. G. Maguire. He said if the choice of United tates Senator was left to the people of California 75 per cent of the voters would pronounce 1n favor of Maguire. “Only yesterday Maguire removed from the highway of prosperity one of the greatest obstructions.” N. E. Malcolm of Santa Clara seconded the nomination of Perkins. using the In- gersoll speech of the Cincinnati conven- tion of 1875 as his guide. Malcoim spoke of Perkins as a “leader of the leaders,” and said the Senator was noted for his honesty in Butte County. Sigz Bettman of San Francisco, chair- man of the Committee on Public Morals, assumed a superb oratorical attitude and seconded thé nomination of George C. Perkins. E.J. Emmons of Kern County nomi- nated Thomas V. Cator. He held it to be a pleasant duty to represent the People’s party and present the name of Caior to persons thought that the People’s party was composed of dreamers and visionists, but the waking day would come and the country would see that the dreamers were friends of the poor and needy.
