TIMOTHY GUY PHELPS NOMINATES PARDEE MATEO GIVES ALAMEDA COUNTY A FRIENDLY WORD OF CHEER. 0ld War Horse of the Spring Valley SAN Jacob H. Neff, the Old War Horse of Placer. Our next Lieutenant Governor is one of those exceptional men whose private and public life has been so true to the dictates of honor and the impulses of neighborly kindness and justice that his good name is unassailable to the most reckless political opponent. Jacob Hart Neff's citizenship is a worthy pattern for men and his personality makes loyal and respecting friends of all who know him. _ He is one of the surviving Argonauts, having come to California as a young man in 1850, about twenty years after his birth in 1830, in the town of Strausburg, Pa. In his boyhood he lived at Springfield, Ohio, and for several vears in Burlington, Iowa, from where he came to this State. He at once located in Placer County, which has ever since been his home. His residence for many years has been at Colfax. He began win- ning fortune with a rocker on the American River, and mining has been his business ever since. His mining career has been distinguished by great ability and success. He has for many years borne an able and creditable part in public affairs. He was elected Sheriff of Placer Coun- ty in 1867, and was State Senator in 1871. He has, besides, been a Rall- road Commissioner and a State Prison director, and is now a trustee of the State Library. In these places of trust he has displayed the great administrative ability and faithfulness to duty which characterize him, but perhaps his most distinguished services to the State have been those performed as the leader and guiding spirit of the California Miners' Association in the splendid work which it has accomplished since its organization in 1832. He was chairman of the initial conference of Placer County miners, called in the fall of 1891 to see what could be done to revive the lan- guishing industry of hydraulic mining. He became chairman of the Placer County Miners’ Convention, into which that meeting” developed, was chairman of the executive committee which issued the call for a State meeting, and when the California Miners' Assoclation was organ- ized in January, 1892, he was unanimously elected chalrman. He has beén enthusiastically re-elected every year since. During these years he has been at the helm behind all the important work of the association, which has secured the Caminettl law, the appropriations for restraining dams, new mining laws for the State and much else -of great benefit to this great industry of California. Before committees of Congress and the Legislature his strong but wise and politic arguments have had great weight. To his wise and conciliatory influence, more than to any other single cause, was due the welcome disappearance of the old ran- corous hostility between the miners and the farmers. ‘While not & millionaire, he is a man of considerable wealth, plain of manner and speech. His mining interests are varied, but his chief success has been that of the Morning Star drift mine on the Jowa Hill divide, in Placer County, the greatest and richest drift mine in the State. Its discovery and development were due to him. He has for the many years of its career had a large interest in the mine and has, from the start, been its superintendent and general manger. He has never married and his nearest living relatives are two sisters resid- ing in Towa. He has for many years been distinguished in Masonic cir- cles. He is a Scottish Rite Mason, as well as a Knight Templar, and has held a long succession of the most important offices in these orders. o ok %k ok ok % ok ok % ok 3k ok 3k ok ok sk 3k ok ok ok sk sk ok ok ok ok ok ok ok sk ok ok 3k ok ok sk sk ok ok ok Rk ok ok sk ok ok sk ok ok ok ok though % sk sk sk ok ok sk ok Ok ok K sk ok ok sk ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok sk sk ok ok oK ok 3K oK Sk ok oKk ok sk K ok sk ok K ok ok ok K K ok ok ok ok K I 2R R R R R R A S R R A R R R Rt b bt Watershed Utters a Tribute to the Man From Alameda. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Aug. 24.—Dr." George C. Pardee of Oakland was placed in nomination for the office of Governor by Timothy Guy Phelps of San Mateo. The address was a happy one and was well recelved by both the friends and the opponents of Dr. Pardee. It follows in full: Mr. Phelps—Mr. Chairman and Gentle- men of the Convention: To me has been assigned the distinguished honor of plac- ing before thls convention, as a candi- date for the nomination for the high of- fice of chief executive of this State, a native son of California, one whom I have known since his birth and whose career I have watched for years, as a student, as a _professional man, and as Mayor of a great city. In all depart- ments of life he has proved himself a clean man, an honorable, high minded gentleman and officer of distinguished ability. I have the honor, gentlemen of the convention, of placing before you for nomination for the office of Governor the Hon. George Pardee of Alameda. (Choers) T want to say to this conyen- tion and to my friends in it that from my long and close acquaintance with this gentleman 1 believe there is no man in this commonwealth who {s better equipped for the high office than Is George C. Pardee, in ability, in high character, in independence of character, in freedom from all those entangling al- liances that would prevent independent action and from his intimate acquain- tance with the people, the Industries and the interest of the State of California. Grand old Alameda County, whose ma- orities were more than , and saved California to William McKinley for Pres- ident of the United States! (Cheers from the Alameda delegation.) Alameda asks at your hands this nomi- nation. I ask, Is she entitled to it for the majorities that_ she has given us right along in the past and for what we hope from her in the future? Right here I want to correct a most unmerited and most malicious slander. It has been stated that Alameda County and Ala- n}edn‘s favorite candidate would, In case of non-success, be so much dianPoln(ed that they would falter at the polls. Let me say there was never a more malicious slander heaped upon a man or a county. George C. Pardee is too broad a2 man to balk In harness, or skulk away when the fight comes on, and old Alameda County has too often proved her loyalty to the Republican party in the majorities that she has rolled up. E‘Chears % Nominate George C. Pardee and I be- lieve the majority of 5000 and more which she gave at the last election wiil be in- creased to in the neighborhood of 10,000. With him as a candidate there would be no stayaways from the polls, no laggards whatever. He would bring up from the mire of Democracy hundreds, if not thou- sands, and plant them upon the solid ground of Republicanism. Whether you nominate him or whether your cholce shall fall upon another, Alameda County and George C. Pardee, her favorite son, will ever prove their loyalty to the Re: publican partty. (Cheers.) There never was a time, fellow citizens, when a Re- publican vlctoay was more important to us than now. The march of progress, the war which has just closed have opened new fields of commerce and industry to us. New fields to be occupied If we have but the ability to seize upon them. Our country is composed of more than 75,000,000 of people, We have added under the pro- tection of the flag more than 12,000,000 ad- ditional, which we have to govern. am heartily in accord with the resolutions which have been passed in regard to gov- erning those territories, conquered and nexed to the United Stages. This war will result in more benefit fo Caiffornia than | perhaps any other part of the nation. It | will insure to us the building of the Nicaragua canal, which will save the | people of this coast ten times the cost of its construction. Now, fellow-citizens, whether _you choose one candidate or another, T be- lieve that the Republican party of Cali- fornia is a solid army and will march so to victory. [Cheers.] T believe, while it seems to be the business of the Demo- cratic party to tear down and to destroy, it is the business of the Republican party to build up—to build up the industries de- | the misrule of the Democracy stroyed b; {t the galling yvoke of bondage and to i from the oppressed, so far as our influ- | ence goes. November we will pierce this old com- posite ship of Democracy, manned by its motley crew, composed of different par- ties and 'lsms, as the solid shot of Dewey ferced the fieet of Spain In the harbor of anila_and as did those of Sampson and Schley the fleet of Cervera on the coast of Cuba. [Cheers.] I trust, gentlemen, that your deliberations —wili reach a wise conclusion, and thank you for listening to me. GAGE'S NOMINATION CORDIALLY SECONDED PORTIONS OF THE STATE VOICE HIS PRAISE. Described as a Man Fresh From the People Imbued With the Princi- ples of Republicanism. ALL CALL HBADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Aug. 24.—After the applause which had greeted the eloquent speech of Mr. Davis had subsided, speeches sec- onding the nomination were made as fol- lows: C. R. Stewart—Mr., Chairman: T de- sire to second the nomination of Henry T. Gage. Of the entire people of the State of California, there is no man more thoroughly acquainted with right and has more ability to down this unholy combination of Bryanites and silverites than Henry T. Gage of Los Angeles. The Voice of Sonoma. A. B. Lemmon of Sonoma—Mr. Chair- man: Sonoma County expected to come to this grand State convention of Re- publicans with a candidate for the first place on our ticket in this contest. We are here as the warm personal and de- voted friends of one of the brightest and one of the best young men in the State of California, and if his name had been proposed to this convention our hats would have gone Into the alr and our volces would have rung in his behalf. His name is not to be brought into this conyention at this time, but we have studied the situation since we came .to jacramento from every standpoint. 1 ant to say to you that every one of the twenty-one delegates from grand old Sonoma came here unpledged to any- body. 1 want to say to you luat every one of those delegates has stood un- gl,edged to anybody until this moment. e have met the several candidates; we have conferred with the several candi- dates; we have studied the situation and these twenty-one votes say that Sonoma has made her choice among the candi- dutes, and that, for the first time, the badge of any man is pinned upon the coat of a Republican from Sonoma Coun- ty when together they pinned the badges bearing the name of Henry T. Gage upon their ats and go into the contest ¥1edged 0 as loyal and as true a support rom that county as ever was given to any man in any contest. (Applause.) Powers Speaks for Gage. Frank H. Powers of San Francisco—Mr. Chairman and gentlemen: San Francisco is not the banner Republican County of the State, but we have some men whose individual desires sometimes make them do things, forget their party fealty. For them we apologize. We did, however, in the last campulaxn under the earnest, painstaking, constant, labo: supervi slon of Major Frank McLaughlin, as chalir- Fellow-citizens, in the ides of | ~ JUDGE DAVIS N NORINATING CAGE PAI | mined by the needs of the commonwealth, D THE SOUT HERN SON A CLOWING TRIBUTE. eleven thousand against us in the cam- paign of 1384 into 215 for McKinley in 189 The battle ground of this campaign, gen- tlemen, is going to be on the battle ground of 18%. Therefore, San Francisco, study- ing the notes of that battle, familiar with the tactics of the enemy, looking around here for the man best able to cope with that enemy, thinks that man is the Hon- orable Henry T. Gage of Los Angeles. (Applause and cheers.) This State is tired of Jim Buddism. For the last four years the affairs of the State—the appointments to office—seem not to have been deter- but by the dictates of the dice box. We need now under the crisis in the diplomacy that {s neces- sary to come with the acquiring of addi- tional territory to place this State under the control of a party that has a principle to govern it and there maintain that prin- | ciple. (Applause.) In such a battle as this we dare not make a mistake in our nominee. There- fore, we have turned to that man who is | an honor to his profession and honored by every man in_his profession; who iIs be- loved by his family because he lives for his family, and goes to it every day in the suburbs-of Los Angeles, and whose nelgh- bors feel that they are part of his fam- fly; whose oratory—strong, convincing, logical—heard upon’ the stump, will carry conviction as against the isms of the Democracy. The little giant of the Dem- | ocracy s not to be treated lightly. The battle is on. The gage of battle—(cries of time!) Gentlemen, we apblogize again for some of our San Francisco hoodlums. If it is necessary, gentlemen, we can give you their names. There are only four or five. The little giant of Democracy got to- gether an aggregation of talking cranks the other day. and they votced thelr isms. A military gentleman said that he was satisfied that anybody looking at it would know that the rapld-firing guns ‘of their lungs had been misfit with the slow-firing single-shot braine. (Laughter.) Now, then, we are going into this fight with San Francisco doing her best to keep up the majority of 18%, and we feel that the fight is going to be won because we are going to be behind a man who, in thought, in Intelligence. in courage, in the defense of the right and in defiance of cor- ruption, stands head and shoulders with the leaders of the party—Henry T. Gage. (Applause and cheers.) ALAMEDA’S FRIENDS SPEAK FOR THEIR MAN FISHER GOOD HUMOREDLY RALLIES THE BOOMERS OF THE ORANGE LAND. Loyal and Earmest Young Men of California Loving Progress and Prosperity, the State’s Hope. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Aug. 24.—Seconding speeches followed fast upon the heels of Mr. Phelps’ address. They were as follows: Fisher of Alameda—Gentlemen of the Republican State convention: I am not a native son of California. I wish I were. I am the next best thing. I married a daughter of San Francisco. (Applause.) And I have in my house two native sons and two native daughters, who, with! their mother, are praying for my safe | return. But If we stand in admiration | of the achievements of the fathers of these native sons, what feelings must kindle our minds as we fook ' into the faces of these men In the south who came into the southern part of this State and bave made the wilderness blossom like | the rose. And not content with that, they haye leveled the natural barriers and have gone to Tulare County and to Northern Butte for oranges when the blight struck their own fair fields. (Ap- plause.) If there is anything that I admire from the bottom of my heart it is a good fight- er and a man who knows what he wants and knows how to get it. I submit fo the Republicans of this great convention both north and south that the business of the Republican party in its management, In itself not so much to the past as it is to the ?'o\mg men of the present. Old men will soon die, but young men are coming to the front to take the banner of Republicanism fn their hands and to | carry it to future victory. I stand on this platform to-day as a representative of the young men of my adopted county and State. lome one yesterday referred in terms of criticism to the young men wio followed their beloved leader and made the st of Sacramento ring with iheir joyous peals. I said to that man, “Never vou mind; every one of those young men as a vofe and every one is a Republi- can.” (Applause.) They came here because we could not keep them at home. We had conserva: tive men in our own county who said “Do as the Los Angelenos do—bring up their bankers and their orange growers and their lawyers, their wise, gray-haired and bald-headed men—and you will win vour fight.”” (Laughter and applause.) We said “No; if the boys want to come, in God’'s name let them come,” and they came and they pald their own fare out of their own pockets (applause and cheers), and many a boy in that devoted band will wear his shoes six months longer to pay the expenses of this trip. Those are the young men that we want to get behind any leader, and these are the young men we want to get heart and soul into the Republican party. 1 am lad to be here an advocate of the Hon. eorge C. Pardee. (Applause). I heard whispered on this floor within the last hour the term “demagogue.” If there is one term more than another that has a blighting infiuence upon the young men of this St show *independence, it is the whisper of ‘“‘demagogue.” Lincoln never bothered about that. Garfield was never troubled about that, shall ever fall from its high position in the affections of the people of this coun- try it will be because itS voung men are afrald to do right, because they are afraid of being called “demagogues.” There is only one other thing that has a blight- ing effect upon the young men of this | State, and that is the fear that they | won’t get on the wagon In time—the band | wagon. If you feel that vou are right, g0 ahead and the people will fall in right with vou. Calaveras Shouts for Pardee. SACRAMENTO, Aug. 24.—F. J. Polinsky of Calaveras—Mr. Chairman and gentle- ate In their attempt to | and if the Republican party | | men of the convention. Calaveras desires | to second the nomination of George C. | Pardee from Alameda (applause and cheers), and in doing so I bring you a message from the mountains, telling you that it is with pride and pleasure that we come here to further the ambition of that gallant young Republican who seeks the exalted position of Governor. We have known him in the mountajus by his record for years. It is true that | we are but distant observers of the great events that are occurring in this great State. It is true that we can only see them at a distance. We have not come in | contact with the great question of cor- poration influence. We are living remote from them, but for that reason we can form a dispassionate opinion of men who are seeking high places. : | 'We in the mountain counties have ob- served with pride this young man who has been battling in Alameda County against corporation and monopoly influ- ences. (Applause) We have observed that in every act that he has performed | he has been a friend of the people. We | know him from everything that he has | done, and that he has stood as a valiant defender of the people’s rights. We know him to be a young man born and raised in the State, and, by reason of that fact, he has a broad and a just experience in the hnndllm{l of all the great questions | with which he has come in contact. | _We know him to be a graduate of the | University of California, and we know that the influences of that loyal institu- tion have gone forth in every act that | he has been called_upon to perform in his public duties, I say to you gentle- | men, that from & distance, we have ob- served all this, and it is for that reason | that T come from the mountains to sec- ond the nomination of George C. Pardee. | C(Applause.) T tell you further, gentlemen | although it has been at a long distance that this experience and knowledge has come to us, when I come here into the convention and look into the faces of the gallant men who have followed him from | Alameda, I know that our judgment was { right. I know that Dr. George C. Pardee |is'a man that to-day can lead us on to victory in the great campaign that is com- ing on. For that reason I second his nomination and appeal to you, gentlemen, ADVERTISEMENTS. WOOL BLANKETS $2.50. Heavy California Wool Blankets, and fluffy, per pair $250. less.
