Beer is o luxury and why cannot the tollers get along without it, our friends said. Tobacco! Wh hould a man ch tobacco, the filthy weed? i is a_luxury our Republican friends told us. Luxury! A man digging in tue streets of your city making it possible for you to get water and gas, making your sewer connections, toiling day by day under the hot sun, the % of his brow wetting the arid ‘soil, chews his tobacco. It is a luxury and rou need not chew it unless you want to. Pellow citizens, it Is our opinion that the tax was not justly distributed. V thought there sheuld be a general tax | upon the great corporations ot this coun- try, and we proposed to levy it. W defeated, not by Democratic vot for a very few, but by the Republicans, w the solid Republican column. As I have | already said, and I repeat now, when we presented a single amendment direct- ed at the Standard .l Company and the sugar trusts, then there were a few. Sen- ators who were compelled to yleld be- cause they could not face their constitu- ents, but the Republican majority stood up like one man and refused to tax those great industries. I introduced an amendment to assess the great s:-eping-cars of the country, to assess their gross receipts. It was amend- ed requiring them to put a tax on the tickets they sold, and to pay for that tax themselves. Tluat was aa exception. Gentlemen, the great telegraph corpora- tions pay nothing. You are assessed for telegrams, and when you go to send your dispatch away, they congratulate you upon your patriotism. (Appiause) Yet vou will hear Republican orators, during this campaign, charge that tne Demo- eratic party was inimicable to the war because it refused to vote for that bill. We had a measure of our own which was defeated and we voted for the other. When the President called for® supplies, whenever he asked for appropriations, however large, we gave it to him. We submitted to the elimination of the river and harbor bill, though it was important to all, in order that money might be contributed to the public cause: The reat triumph that we have met will go lown to history as the triumph of the Am- erican people, and small indeed, micro- scopic in mind and conscience is he who asserts that the Republican party won the battlés of Manila aha Sanuagd.

To me the F‘reuiest tri- umph that is eminent over it e | ler all is not the mere destruction of the foe and the elevation of our flag, but it is the concen- tration of the patriotism of w.e republic regardless of wealth or position, respond- foe, was a man of the wealth of New York's 400, moving in the highest cir- cles of that power, which is accumulated as the result of money. He died a rich young man, that man with powerful sur- roundings, that man who had no need to go to war, who might have hired, as young Astor, a battery and regiment, and | have destro¥ed the Spanish with them. v | He died for the cause of his country and | for liberty, and whether he was worth | one hundred or two hundred millions of money, he contributed more to the Amer- ican people to make it greater in its dis- tinction and greater in futurity than does he who lived a thousand years. Of these | facts we all know. No partisan can dis- | guise them, no partisansilp can destroy | Them. No partisanship can doom them. They are a common heritage. They be- Jong to us all.

James G. Magulre this afternoon for- mally accepted the nomination that was given him by the convention ear- lier in the day. His address and the ceremony of his reception by the con- vention are given herewith. Judge | James G. Maguire was escorted to the platform amid the cheers of the mem- | bers of the convention. The Chair—Gentlemen of the conven- | tion, I take pleasure in introducing to | you Mayor Phelan of San Francisco, who will introduce the next Governor, James G. Maguire. Three cheers for James D. Phelan were proposed and «iven in a hearty manner. Mayor Phelan—Mr. Chairman and gen- tlemeén of the convention, as a member of your committee to escort Judge Maguire to this platform, it is a matter of espe- | clally great gratification for me to say tnat the principal service which Judge | Maguire has glven to the State of Cali- | fornia has affected largely the interest of the city and county which I in part ply with the promises which you have made therein to the people. I can give no further assurance of what I will do | in that behalf than to say that in all my ublic career I have endeavored faithful~ ¥ to comply with every promise that I have made to the people; that I have en- deavored to do so earnestly and energeti- cally. In addition to saying that I in- dorse the platform, 1 am pieased to say that in the platform I find set forth some of the most important principies and pur- poses, relating to the interests of the peo-| gle of California, to whom I have been evoted, during the whole period of my | public service in the past, and to which I will be glad to devote myself in the fu-| ture. 1 am pleased with the enthusiastic spirit of patriotism manifested in the opening planks of the platform, in the ab- solutely - unpartisan recognition of the glory and the honor of American man- ood displayed in the war that has just closed. (Applause.) 1 share in the senti and gratification expr form of the herolc servic and sailors in giving their lives, their blood and their service for our flag and our country promptly, bravely, enthu- slastically ~upori the 'first call in her hour of emergency. (Prolonged ap- lause.) I shall not at this time attempt o review the platform. 1 would not de- tain_you in the great work which you are here to perform, and which you have so well performed up to this hour, ex- cepting of course the particular part of the work to which I am here to respond. (Laughter.) But I desire to touch briefly upon one or two propositions in the plat- form. The great Democratic platform of 1595, which you have specifically indorsed and whose planks you have reaffirmed, was a declaration of war upon mBnOPMK such as had not previously been put fort by any great polltical party in this coun- try. ‘The platform adopted by this con- ratitude the plat- the detailed execution of a very import- ant portion of the Chicago platform. It presents, in my opinion, the principles upon which the great question of railroad monopoly must be settled throughout the Union. 1f chosen as the chief executive of the State I will take particular delight in devoting my energies to the execution of that plank of the platform. (Applause and cheers.) It presents no mere theory. It esents no proposition for mere ex- perlment. It presents a well considered lan which has been practically executed n one State of the American Union where the Democratic m;nny has practicall solved the railroad monopoly problem. refer to the State of Texas (applause) and to the glorious fight that was made there for the principles which you have laid down in the ailroad Commission plank of {our platform to-day. ~The lank relating to the refunding of the Sebu of the Central Pacific ilroad I will. deal with, of course, through- out the campaign. Your plank upon that uestion specifically represents my views. n your criticism of the war revenue bill ou have presented a proposition of Yquity which no man, whatever may be his_political views, can answer.

Maguire Formally Accepts the Pinto ~ Platform and Nomination. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRAMENTO, Aug. 18— Congressman Maguire was formally notified to-night by the fusion committee of the Populists, the chairman and secretary of the Populist convention and the chairman and secretary of the Populist State Conven- tion that he had been nominated by the Populists for Governor. i Burdett Cornell of Alameda, who acted as spokes- man for the committee, reviewed at great length the aims and objects of the Populist party. He said that the party was composed of men who had left the because the essential principles of democratic govern- ment were not then to be found in either party. “Since the time the Populist party was organ- ized” said Cornell, “the Democratic party had com- pletely changed in its platform of principles.” In con- clusion, Cornell said the Populists believed that Maguire was the logical candidate to represent the reform forces in the coming campaign. 1 Judge Maguire, in ‘replv, went into a leng!fy dissertation concerning the railroad stion and ques- tions of taxation. He said that he"had carefully read the platform of the Populist party 4nd that he agreed with it in all the planks relating to the functions of government. - He. said in conclusion that he would UNITED STEPHEN M.
