When Judge Nusbaumer presented the name of Victor H. Metcalf, a genuine whole-souled cheer came from delegates and lobby alike, being re-echoed by the trowd in the pallery. A little lat me speaker, in the course of his remarks, mentioned the name of William McKinley. Instantly there was 2 roar of approbation and all kinds of ap- plause from every seat and corner in the tonvention hail. Still later Beishaw of Contra Costa stood ap with-a resolution which he presented to the convention. He referred in his in- troductory remarks to the great Presi- dent and his capable administration, but It was reserved for that little resolution to bring forth the utmost resources of the convention in expressing its patriot- sm and fervor. Belshaw referred to those gallant “boys in blue,” whether on land ind in the fact that every | its absence. | h Ward reprobates | 1d certainly had no place | or sea, without whom the most fearless President and the most capable adminis- tration would be as reeds in a storm. His words were seconded by a rising vote—not only did the delegates rise in honor of the heroes of '98, but their hat canes, clrculars, chairs, and in many in- stances their feet rose so as to add to the intensity of the approval with which | the motion was received. | The leader of the Alameda delegation | was Hon. John W. Ellsworth, the ‘‘honest | John” of the Alameda bench. As a dele- gate at large at the primaries he recelved probably the largest individual vote ever received at any primary in this-county. One of the shrewdest pleces of work done by the Metcalf managers was to head thelr ticket with John Ellsworth, | whose portly figure seemed to be entirely at home surrounded by the sixty-se other delegates from Alameda. “General” Veale, the Sheriff of Contra Costa, brought down his delegation of ten to join in the nomination of Metcalf. N one knew Sheriff Veale to be a “Genera until a messenger boy delivered a dl patch to Chairman Evans, who at once called for the Contra Costa Sheriff, at the same time announcing him as n- eral.” Delegate Benjamin of Solano, Who bears some resemblance to an attenuated | Senator Earl, was much in evidence. He | averaged nearly two feet higher than the | Test of the delegation, but otherwise was | not prominent except when he had a cor rection made in the report of the commit- tee on credentials. o | Arthur North, who expects to be the | next district attorney of Yolo County, and | who is a brother of Hart H. North of this county, had evidently done good work for Metcalf in his own district, for out of eight delegates elected last Wednesda, seven were for Metcalf and the eighth | | | Alameda’s primary became known. | The Intervals during recesses were taken | full advantage of by all kinds of dates.

FRANKE, DAVIS T0 PRESENT THE NAME OF GAGE Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20.—The dis- tinguished honor of placing before the Republican State convention the name of Henry T. Gage for Governor of Cali- fornia has fallen to the lot of Frank F. Davis, the eloquent orator of Los Angeles. ) | Mr. Davis is a polished speaker and | he will undoubtedly take advantage of the opportunity afforded him to make the effort of his life. He and Gage are warm friends of long standing, they having met at the national convention in Chicago in 1888, at which time Mr. Davis placed in nomination Walter Q. | Gresham for President of the United States. In the same convention Henry | T. Gage seconded the nomination of Levi P. Morton for Vice-President. The friendship then formed has lasted to the present time. | Mr. Davis, when seen to-day regard- | Ing his candidacy for Congress, said that he would do nothing to antagonize any other candidate. If the convention saw fit to glve to him the nomination | he would accept the honor and malke the best canvass he knew how. The | reason he did not enter the fight earlier in the campaign was his friendship for | James McLachlan, who has since with- | Greene eag- of - Colonel | ad- | dropped into line as soon as the result of | drawn. He does not feel that he is justified in believing that if a slate has been made he can break it. It is inti- mated, however, that he knows his strength in the delegation and that there will be a sensation when the re- sult is known. The warm friendship existing be- tween Gage and Davis mav be an Im- portant factor in landing the nomina- tion for the latter. The nominating speech also will give Davls an oppor- tunity to display his ability as an ora- tor, an accomplishment which his op- ponent does not possess. Those of the delegates who have not yet left for Sacramento will leave Sun- day morning or evening. Nearly all left last night and to-day, many of whom will stop in San Francisco be- fore going to the city of sizzling heat and seething convention. So far no one has been decided upon for chairman of the delegation, and the matter has been left in abeyance until all of the delegates arrive at their des- tination. It is, however generally un- derstood that the Los Angeles delega- tion will not ask for either a perma: nent or temporary chairmanship of the convention. They will center their whole fight on Gage for Governor and will do nothing that may injure his chances for receiving the nomination. One by one, unhonored and unher- alded, the roundheads and the push are returning with drawn faces from the alled Democratic convention, which given the party a pinto candidate for Governor. They went to Sacra- mento full of internal greatness and they return beaten, battered and com- pletely done up, and the silence in the Democratic camp he deep, omi- nous silence—which Maguire will at- tempt to break on August 27, when he will addre the Silver Republican State convention, which at this time seems to be the onlv leg left for Democ- acy to stand on in this county. - Los Olivos Republican Primary.

SELECTION IS UNANIMOUS Throughout the Nominating and Second- ing Speeches the Success of the Republican Party Was the Watchword. CALL HEADQUARTERS, Oakland, Aug. 20.—The Third Congressional Dis- trict convention was called to order promptly by Chairman W. H. Friend. In a few remarks he paid a high compliment to the present condition of the Republi- can party in this county. He referred to the fact that two years ago he caied to | Contra Costa, Mark Chamberlain of Yolo, J. E. Hathborne of Colusa and J. H. Wes- ton of Glenn. The report of the committee on creden- | tials and order of business was a very routine document, and was at once ac- cepted, with a few corrections regarding | the delegates. Chairman Babcock of the committee on platform presented a report that was remarkable for its brevity. To Judge Emil Nusbaumer was award- ed the task of placing in nomination Vlc:» tor H. Metcalf, and in his speech he said: “To me has been allotted the pleasant duty and the great honor of presenting to you the name of one who seeks your suffrage upon this occasion. I do so on behalf of one of the most populous coun- ties in your district, likewise the ban- ner Republican county of the State of California—the county of Alameda. W ith full confidence that those great dutles which are required of one in that position | will be faithfully fulfilled and energetical- | 1y carried out, I present to you the name of Victor H, Metcalf. The people of the‘ county of Alameda ask that you place | that name upon your ticket as your and their representative. M: Metcalf has al- Ways been found battling in the front| rank of the Republican party, that party which has made the history of this coun- try, that party which whenever the hour of ‘trial was at hand carried this great country to a successful issue. Gentle- men, I have not come here with an: set or prepared speech. The duties that have devolved upon me within the last few da; have been such that what I say to you is simply what at the moment comes to me. I have heard some very eloquent words pronounced here to-day by our friend Colonel Babcock. Every word that he has said I fully indorse and know that every one of you here fully indorse. You know that the Republican party should be aided and assisted by the strongest man that we can put upon its ticket, that whenever that is done there is no ques- tion about the result. You know that this country will keep fio!ng to the high- st pinnacle of fame, that it will be suc- cessful, both in peace and war, both upon the seas and upon the land, when- ever the Republican party has the helm of the ship of state in hand.

The delegates of the Thirty-fourth As- sembly District to the Republican State Convention met last night at 2015 Mis- sion street. All delegates were present. They organized by electing Percy Beam- ish clairman and E. W. Eustice secre- tary. order a Republican convention in Vallejo which nominated a winner, and he ex- pressed his confidence that the conven- tion present would do likewise. Colonel Babcock took the floor and nom- inated for temporary chairman J. W. Evans of the Seventh Ward, and the choice was made unanimous. Frank Storer. of Elmhurst was elected secre- tary, and C. A, Fawcett sergeant-at- arms, with Frank Severa as his assistant. Chairman Evans named the committees on credentials and platform, and after a recess of a half hour they were ready to report. he committee on credentials consisted of T. W, Harris, . A. McConaughy, George Hoguet, John Trotter, Abe P. Leach, . _B._ Cariton, from Alameda County; J. H. Dungan of Yolo, William Herbison of Solano, M. B. Ivory of Con- tra Costa, D, W. Jones of Colusa, A. Hochheimer of Glenn and W. L. Maxwell of Lake. The committte on platform and resolu- tions was made up of George Babcock, H. A. Mayhew, Paxton Wright, C. B. Morgan, B.

His record is before you. It is an open book, and it has bgen read and approved.” Arthur ..orth of Yolo seconded the nomination of Metcalf in a vigorous speech, and W. M. Dimmick also second- ed on behalf of the Fiftieth Assembly District. The speech of Mr. Dimmick was the last link in the chain of har- mony, for Mr. Dimmick was a candidate on the Hilborn ticket, but owing to an agreement amicably reached over two contested ballots Mr. Dimmick and the other Hilborn men were declared elected. This was the only district where there was the slightest possibility of a contest in favor of Mr. Hilborn, and as every- thing else was so overwhelming for Met- calf it was not difficult to maintain per- fect harmony. ‘When_the nominations were declared closed, Mr. Metcalf was nominated by ac- clamation. There were then loud cries of **‘Metealf, Metcalf, Metcalf,” from all parts of the hall, and Chairfman Evans appointed Will Henshaw and Judge Nus- haumer a committee to escort the candi- date to the platform. Mr. Metcalf ac- cepted the nomination in the following language: [ 2 “I should be made of flint and not of flesh did I not feel profoundly moved bg this expression of your confidence and your esteem. Indeed, I am deeply touche' and am extremely gratified. You have conferred upon me this montent a dis‘tln- guished honor and I am not forgetful of the great dutfes and responsibilities which accompany that hanor. It is no light thing for a man to stand before the representa- tives of this district as a candidate for Congress, and it was only after long and serious consideration that I allowed my name to be brought forward. I said to myself, “Surely such an ambition is a worthy one; it is an ambition whi‘ch'x;lrlxsy n A man may hold without reproach. as in all other matters pertaining to our government, the people are the final ar- biters.

Be- ore this cflmpa‘lin is over T will have ad- dressed you all in your respective coun- tles. For the present, then, let it suffice for me to say that I stand squarely upon the platform which this convention has adopted, and that I shall go through this campaign and afterward to Wasmn?ton with the utmost loyalty to Republican principles, to our national administration, to dur great, strong leader, William Mc- Kinley."” —_——————————— Jones Formally Accepts. CALL HEADQUARTERS, OAK- LAND, Aug. 20.—John Aubrey Jones of Fruitvale, the People’s party nomi- nee for Congress from the Third Dis- trict of the fusion- ists, has sent to The Call the following letter “of accept- ance: “It is with pro- found _gratification that I accept the honors that have been heaped upon . me by my fellow- citizens of the Third Congression- al District. “That I am the nominee for Con- gress of the Peo= ple's party, the Democratic party and the Sllver Re- publicans, is not due to any special worth or merit of mine, but to the fact that I stand as the representative and exponent of true Democracy; that is, rule of the people as opposed to the dominance of Cox})urate power crystal- lized into rule of pelf. ‘““While my opponent has, during weeks and months, depended upon a thoroughly constructed and well-oiled system of political machinery to grind out for him a single nomination, I have, without any effort, and almost wholly unsolicited, secured two nom- inations at the hands of two conven- tions. Dull, insensate and unapprecia- tive indeed would I be did I not deeply feel a sense of obligation to my fel- low-citizens for this expression of con- fidence. Conscious am I, too, of the great responsibility that {s imposed upon me to so conduct my campalign as to make it in every sense reflect honor upon my friends and supporters, and to be crowned with that measure of success our righteous cause so justly merits. My candidacy and that of my op- ponent epitomizes the antipodal con- ditlon of a latter-day political _co test. JOHN AUBREY JONES. —_— JACOB NEFF FOR CHAIRMAN. It is generally understood that the chairmanship of the Republican State Convention will ‘be tendered . to Jacob Neff.. The choice will prove acceptable to all delegates, as well as all Repub- licans, In the State. Judge Frank Short of Fresno will probably be chosen as vice chairman, and A. L. Levinsky of Stockton will "get the plac C vice chairman. Pl weoan DELEGATES HOLD A CAUCUS. Sixteen or seventeen members of the San Francisco delegation to the Republican State Convention held a caucus at the California Hotel last evening and the delegates present decided to support At- torney General W.

The caucus was called by Martin Kelly, who sent a couple of his hired men around the city to notify such members to attend as could be induced to do so. Mr. Fitzgerald denied late last evening that he knew anything about the caucus being held. S O CONGRESSIONALFORECAST Nominees Who Will Probably Be Selected to Represent Their Districts.

WAR CONGRATULATIONS The Document Was a Gem in That It Was Phenomenally Brief but Charmingly to the Point. CALL HEADQUARTERS, OAKLAND, Aug. 20.—The platform adopted by the Third District Congressional Convention to-day is a model that might well be fol- lowed by all the gonventions that will be held before the time for nominations ex- pires. It is as follows: “The Republicans of the Third Con- essional District of the State of Cali- grnla, in convention assembled, here- by renew their pled?e of fealty to the great principles of the Republican v, as expressed in the platform of the National Convention of the Re- ublican party held at St. Louis In une, 1896, “They express their continuing con- fidence in the wise judgment and mas- terly statesmanship of our great Presi- dent, William McKinley, and unhesi- tatingly intrust the decision of the Teat governmental problems which gnve now arisen to the wisdom of him- self and hig counselors. ““We congratulate him upon the hap- py termination of the war so recently concluded—a war in which this nation engaged only at the call of suffering humanity—and we pledge the loyal aid of our Representative from this dis- trict in upholding the policy of the administration.” After the platform had been unanimous- ly and vigorously adopted, Colonel Bab- cock presented the following resolution: “Resolved, That the best interests of the country and the highest interests of humanity demand that we should establish our sovereignty over every foot of territory we have conquered from Spain. not only as an indemnity for the costs of war, but as a guar- anty against the oppression, bigotry and brutalities whic for centuries have been imposed on the helpless in- habitants of the Greater Antilles and Philippine Islands.” The colonel then delivered an impas- sioned address in support of his resolu- tion. In the course of his remarks he said: “To give back the inhabitants of these islands to a power whose rule of them has been distinguished by bloodthirsty rapacious violence and cruelty would Be to visit upon them the revenge Spain is impotent to inflict upon us. The Philip- pine Islands have fallen into our hands as the logical and inevitable result of war, and we cannot. if we would, seil them or turn them over to any other na- tion without doing violence to the most sacred and vital principles at the found- ation of our Government. Nor can we withdraw our military forces without turning them over to anarchy or the re. morseless cruelty of Spain. We cannot avold or compromise the issues which are upon us, if we would. We may not desire to possess the islands, but we can- not escape our destiny.” It was reserved for Delegate Belshaw of Solano to introduce the resolution that eclipsed all others. He said that there were other people than the Presi- dent and the administration who were entitled to credit for the successful con- duct of the late war, and they were the men who stood so bravely behind the guns. In their honor, he said, he would introduce a short resolution, which was carried by a rising vote. The new Congressional committee was appointed as follows: At large, George W. Reed: Lake Coun- ty, R. M. Beattie; Contra Costa County, L. Geary Yolo County, Mark Chamberlain; Glenn County, J. K, Ken- dricks: Solano County, Charles A. Dur- ner; Colusa County, J.

Metcalf, Rod_Church, H. O. Trowbridge and Charles T. Rudoiph as a committee in accordance with the purity of election laws _to supervise the financial part of Mr. Metcalf’s campaign. the convention adjourned with three cheers for every- thing Republican. —_———— “Poudinky” Will Be There.
