FUSION NOMINEES. Hon, Stephen M. White—Mr. Chalr- man, before going any further, it appears to me from an examination of the rec- | ord here that a possible complication might ensue, or at least some criticism | be hereafter made, and 1 rise for the pur- | pose of having the record put in‘a clear condition. There was a report adopted to-day called a report with reference to fusion. In that report, which was adopt- ed, as 1 have said, by this convention, | the Justice of the Supreme Court and | Clerk of the Supreme Court were ratified under the nomination made by the Silver | Republican party and the Lieutenant | Governor, Controller and Superintendent of Public Instruction nominated by the| ople’s party, were also ratified. but| neither nominee was named, and, as far | as the record now shows, there is a sim- To clear the matter from all doubt, be- fore there is any vote upon the subject - uation from any ' entanglement, I move that Walter S. Vandyke is hereby nom- inated for Justice of the Supremeé Court of the State of California; that H. A. McCraney {s hereby nominated for Clerk of the Supreme Court of the State of California; that Edwin L. Hutchinson | is hereby nominated for Lieutenant Gov- | ernor of the State of California; that F. | W. Maples is hereby nominated for Con- | troller of the State of Califoria; that Christian Runckel is hereby nominated for Superintendent of Public Instruction of the State of California. There is also a nomination regarding the Third District Railroad Convention over which, of course, this_ convention has no present jurisdiction. I make this motion in accordance with a resolution | you have adopted and to make the rec- named. Mr. Ford of Nevada, in a short| speech, seconded the nomination of Gen- eral Jo Hamllton. Mr.” Church of Fresno—Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention: You will observe by the badge I wear that I come from the glowing interior of this great State, and we from that portion of the State have a candidate whom we are going to present for your considera- tion, and we ask from you for a moment a most patient hearing. One thing Is settled, whatever this convention may do | during the remainder of its gession—it Is | settled in the minds of every one of us, | | if not in the minds of our opponents as | well—that James G. Maguire is to be the | next Governor of the State of Califor- nia. (Prolonged applause and cheers). | His peculiar fitness for the dutles of that | exalted station has long and univer- | sally been known and recognized. Long before this convention met, long before this convention was thought of the peo- ple of the State of California had mark- ed J. G. Maguire for_ thelr own. They demanded a man, and they secured him | for their leader, who is no politician in the mere low cunning sense of that term, | but a statesman of large experience, a of wide knowledge, a man of great judgment, and a man whom they can trust and who has always been trust- worthy. He—this large-minded man— | this nature's nobleman, genial, pleasant, | human-hearted, kind-hearted, large-soul- | ed and large-brained—is now our leader, our ideal leader, and above all things | we want to see him elected Governor of the State of California. We bring to you the name of a man whom we are con- fident, if you will select and place that name upon the ticket with him will not weaken that ticket, but will give it strength from one end of this great State to the other. It is the name of the gal- lant, of the splendid, of the superb Judge of Madera County, Judge Willlam N. | Conler. (Applause ‘and cheers). We ask from you a support of him.| ow, gentlemen, I shall detaln you bare- a moment. I shall indulge in no hack- | neyed phrases with regard to this Judge, such as are customary on occasions like this. I shall not tell you that he is a man learned in law. The Supreme Court of the State of California in reviewing his decisions have already repeatedly sald that. I shall not tell you that he is a man above all others, or equal to all others, in weighing conflicting opinions, in sifting evidence. in going straight to | heart of the difficult controversy, and | lways leaning to the side of justice. Svery lawyer and every citizen that | had a case in his court or knows an | thing about him knows that all these | | things are true. I come directly to the one great objection and most serfous ab- | jection that is made against the candida- | oy of Judge Conley. acknawledge to | you frankly here and now that when that | objection was first made I did not and even yet do not exactly know how to meet {t. All admitted and recognized his fitne: s fearlessness as a Judge, his | honesty, his capdor, his capacity, his | ability, his popularity; but the one ‘great | objection made to him is that he is a young man,.and that is all. It is true, gentlemen, that Judge Conley is a young man. He is not yet quite 33 years of age, and that, I suppose, is young. But I re- Tember when & boy that I heard a poem | that ran something like this: At ten a child; at twenty wild; at thirty wise if ever; at forty rich: at fifty fat; at sixty ood or mever. (Laughter) Judge Con- Tey. then, has reached the age of 30, which, if'this poem is worth anything, is | the age of wisdom, and wisdom is what | we want upon the Bupreme Bench of the State of California. But, gentlemen of this convention, {8 a man to be con- demned because he {s young? Did not the Democrats of the Second District of the State of California—the Second Congres- | sional District—name for its standard | | bearer two years ago a man much young- er than Judge Conley, the Honorable Ma- rion de Vries (Applause and cheers), and has he not fulfilled the duties of that ex- | alted position with such distingulshed | ability, with such marked vitality, that the Democrats of that district have re- | warded him again with a unanimous | nomination. I stood the other night with 5000 people in the great Metropolitan Opera House in New York City and I saw | standing upon that platform a man, superb in his personal appearance, | magnificent in his manner, his lips touched with a coal of fire from the very altar of eloquence; a young man who had | done more, perhaps, with one or two ex- ceptions, to make this great country of | ours glorious and famous in the war through which we have just passed, than any other from the President down—that young man was Lieutenant Hobson (ap- | plause and cheers), the glorfous hero of the Merrimac, 1 thought in the presence of such a | young man as that will any part of the great American people, in the face of SENATOR WHITE EULOGIZING HIS FRIEND, MAGUIRE young | {! o SEVEN SUTHERLAND SISTERS DOCKWEILER ON THE PLATFORM his deeds, ever object to a young again. Democrat should object to a young man, when only two years ago we nominated a man not much older than Conley for the exalted station of President of the United States, the most superb, the most glorl- ous leader that ever led the great politi- cal party into battle. Two years from to-day we stand ready to repeat that deed and name once more for our standard man | his high fitness for this office. Is it not a stranger thing that a | bearer that magnificent young man, Wil- | llam J. Bryan of Nebrask (Applause and cheers.) With such facts as these to confront us, with a history to look back upon like this, I am sure tuat this one objection, the only objection that can be | made, the only objection that any one dare make to the pecuilar fitness, to the remarkable fitness of Willlam M. Conley for a place upon the Supreme bench of this State, must fall to the ground. With | waiting here. T move that we now suspend n of Judges and proceed to‘ one other remark I shall leave you and leave his name for your counsideration, | and that remark is this: Nearly four years ago he was re position that he occu upon the ticket led by the brilliant Gov- ernor of the State of California. He led even the remarkable vote of Governor Budd by 400, and he led all others by nearly (00 in the county where he lived. There 15 no man in that part of the State so popular. There is no man there so deserving. There is no man there or any- where that has made a better or a cleaner record as Judge of any Superior Court of this State. When you reflect that the great valley of the San Joaquin, that large and growing portion of this State, has never, with all its litigation, had & representative upon the Supreme Bench of the State ot California, we think you will say and agree with us that it is time that it did have and that Judge Conley Is exactly the man. (Ap- plause). The ehair—Gentlemen, Judge W. M. Conley of Madera has been placed in nomination for Judge of the Supreme Court. Frank Gould—Mr. Chairman and gen- tlemen of the convention: It is alwa a pleasure to talk about a good man, an urétn b} /el ples on the bench 1 presume that It is always a pleas- isten to things about a’good man. $/aeb-gate—Not too long. Mr. 44 uld—Not too long, the gentlema tells and I will assure vou that I will not talk too long. I will talk as long as you wil listen to me and then I will stop. who Is a candidate for the Bench. He lives in Tulare County and his pame is Eldridge C. Farnsworth. (Ap- lause). You have seen him about the alls of this convention. When you have walked down the aisles and have seen a man that you thought was Willlam Jen- nings Bryan, it was Farnsworth.

That place where magnificent institution of learning earth largely through the munificence of in the future will grow the most | on | one of the grandest women in America, | Mrs. Phebe Hearst. That applause is grateful, not to me, but to every woman, to every man, in the State of California who is familiar with the magnificent character of that lady (Applause.) It ought not to be given, however, in handclaps; it ought to be given In cheers. Coming from that uni- versity, then, from which no man ha ever been seated on the Supreme Bench: T allude to the affillated college of law. Mr. Eldridge Farnsworth practiced law or many Years in a county up here in the mountains adjacent to Sacramento; District Attorney of the county of Ama- dor for many vears, endeared there to the people by the performance of his du- ties and by the strict Integrity of his character. There ought to be that high dignity of courage; there ought to be that honor that is absolutely unimpeach- able; there ought to be those qualities of decision, of determination of cha ter, of manliness and of independence t characterize the great men of the world. Gentlemen of this convention, a long and intimate acquaintance of Judge Conley (laughter) — Judge Farnsworth (Applause). | ac- | has led me to know that in every one of | those qualifications he stands a peer of | any man in California. Nominate Judge Conley (laughter)—nominate Judge Farn worth—that is a good joke: the Judge a good fellow, too—nominate Judge Farneworth, and you will have upon the Supreme Bench of this State a man who Will stand absolutely and impregnably be- tween the people and the corporate in- fluences that are endeavoring to wrest from them or decrease their liberties. You will have a man in whom the peo- ple can safely repose their every right | be assured that the laws of this| and State founded upon the constitution wlil be interpreted and enforced. (Applause.) Gentlemen of the convention, I thank you. The Chair—E. C. Farnsworth of Tulare has been placed in nomination for Su- preme Justice. Are there any further nominations? Walker C. Graves of San Francisco— Gentlemen of the convention, though a humble member of this great Democratic | convention, vet we feel that we have some conception’ of the qualifications of the man for the high office of Associate Jus- tice of the Supreme Court, and we be- Jieve that the man whose name we will Dow present to vou, the Hon. L. D. Me- Kisick (applause) {s' pre-eminently for it by his great natural ability. = His exalted character and his large experi- ence as a lawyer and a_judge. He was for many years the leader of the bar in Tennessee and he is the foremost lawyer to-day in the State of California. He served on the Board of Arbitration of the State of Tennessee with entire satisfac- tion of the bar and the people of that State and_was elected by his associates as Chief Justice thereof. 'He was ten- dered by the Governor of the State a place upon the court of last resort, ut he declined to accept it to engage in the practice of his profession. Owing to an epidemic of yellow fever at Memphis he emigrated to the State of California and immediately took his place in the front ranks of the profession here. He has been connected with the heaviest liti- gations in_this State and has met and vanquished some of our ablest lawyers. He was the leading counsel in the great Colton case and in the Mare Island case and was lately assoclated with W. T. Baggett in the now famous Hale & Nor- cross cases. He was employed by the Government_of the United States to rep- resent the Government and bring a suit against the directors of the Central Pa- cific Railroad Company. — Fellow Demo- crats, 1 feel that T would be recreant to my duty here as a delegate on this floor and derelict in my duty to my profession and to the people of this State if T did not arise here in my place and give tei timony as tg the knowledge I possess of He has [ been associated with me in litigation that | involved a ma: facts and figures and | 1 was struck with astonishment at his grasp of thought; the comprehensivene: of his mind, his extraordinary memory and his powers of discrimination, his in- defatigable ener~, the qualities that go | to make up a great judge. 1 tell yow fellow citizens, vou should nominate for | Assoclate Justice of the Supreme Court of this State the Hon.

I shall not take any of your time except- ing a few moments to state, as I have seen them, some of the difficulties that ve been’ surmounted in bringing _this dbout. Most of the people of this State know that a few months ago it appeared Stat they now are. vention held in this city. in the Cap- itol building. We had difficulties to con- tend with that were greater than any that have confronted you. You know as well as 1 that every in- fluence that was opposed to us was there. olistic force in the State was there. That directly interested in our disunion and they were well represented there. You know as well as I that some of our own people, some of the members of the Peo- ple’s party that had fought many a bat- tle and had iought well, that were as honest and upright and as sincere as any man that lived did not believe in fusion. You know as well as I that there were others there who never had any belief of any kind whatever who come at the beck ana call of others and who did the best they could to do their duty. We there began the work that vou have carried out here, and have carried it out well. You know as well as I that some radical measures must be taken, something must e done. We could not have the first lace on the ticket vacant. We knew what you would do, and we were to be- gin the good work. We simply did our duty in placing at the head of our ticket the Hon. James G. Magulire. (Applause.) A few years ago it 'seemed almost im- ossible that the People’s party and the emocratic party could ever come togeth- er. That was the day of the Cleveland Democracy and that was the day when the “Golden calf” was set up and wor- shiped. A change has come over the country. The people are now again, as In old times, belleving in the sim{sle principles of Democracy. that will always be be- lieved in and that will eventualy triumph, When I saw that the Democratic party wat led astray by false leaders, many of us left the Democratic party, but one who was born where I was born could never stray very far from the Democratic party, Away down in mK native State there were few people of the white race that had ot belleved as I did and who do not be- L ieve now as I do.

It has been well said here that good Democrats come from the State of Viriginia. It will be remembered that John T%. Hughes 13 a native of that State, and 1 want to add That he has lost none of his Democracy by the adoption of the State of valifor- n?a, as his home. Incidental want to say that in the year 189 e Demo- crats of San Diego determined for once to redeem that county from thd list of Republican countles and place it among the list of Democratic counties. That county through its history has beem Re- publican_anywhere from 1400 to 2000 ma- ority. By peristent effort and gallant fabm- the Democrats of San Dle%i gave a majority to Willlam Jennings Bryan of 391 votes. (Applause.) Further than that, gentlemen, there is one other thing. There is no possible ob- ection that can be urged nad st Jud ughes' candicacy. He is nelther too old | Mr. Frank—Now, gentlemen, I will only | detain you just a moment. I ask you | to take these facts in your c.nsideration |and I ask you to zive them your careful | and thorough investigation before you vote and give to that section of the State | which has been after the sinner and has | brought him to repentance its due. | Senator White—I simply wish to say | that having known Judge Hughes for many years, known him at the bar and known him on the bench, that I take areat pleasure in seconding that nomina- | tion. JUDGE CONLEY NOMINATED. The secretary was ordered to proceed to nor is he too young: nor in any other particular can his qualifications for tho office of Associate Justice of t..e Supreme Court be questioned for an instant, but there are some things that may be added to this. The county of San D.ego hither- to has asked nothing. The county of San Diego has never been recognized on the Democratic State ticket for a single office and I want to tell you, gentlemen of the convention, that San Diego County in conjunction wiln other southern coun- ties taking them as a wnole s largely responsible for the sentiment which has created this grand manifestation in favor of fusion ana which I am sure you as well as I will admit, will insure the elec- tion of the Hon. James G. Maguire on (Fe R!)h of November. (Cries of “time,” time™). Continued on Page Eight. ALFORD IN THE THROES OF HIS SPEECH.
