A Complete Report of the Important Work Accomplished by Republi- cans at the Capital City. The conventlon was called to order by Chairman Neff at 9:45 o’clock 2. m. The chair—The first business in order is the report of the committee on creden- tials. A member of the committee announced that the committee on credentials was not ready to report, but would be ready in about ten minutes, whereupon recess was held under the auspices of the Republican party, save perhaps one. In 1880, I had the fortune to listen to the magnificent and matchless eloquence that came pour- ing forth from the lips of the mafjestic Conkling. 1 heard the words that came seething from the patriotic fires that raged_within the walls of the great Lo- gan; I heard the words of wisdom that came from Harrison; from all thos: great leaders, but I remember distinctly that after all w aid by these great orators there arose a man in that con- vention, perhaps more majestic, more im- pressive in his mien than any that had gone before him. It was immortal Gar- field (prolonged applause) and from his lips came the solemn words of admoni- tion. He. said to the assembled dele- gates: “Gentlemen, it is not in the midst of an enthusiastic convention such as this that the great battle that is upon us is-to be won, but it is by the fire- side of the lowly and the great, the rich and the poor, the farmer, the artisan and the banker, by the fireside and at the polls on election day that that great question is to be determined and solved as to whether or not success shall crown the efforts of the Republican warty.” WIN General W.

From sunny Shasta on the north to San Diego on the south, from the west where the waves of the Pacific leap upon our shores to where the barriers of the great Si- erras stand, clad in eternal snow, there is no more loyal county for the Repub- lican party in this State than is the county from which I hail.

The secretary was directed to perform this function, but the further point was raised that the secre- tary was not a_member of the conven- tion. To keep the record clear and the proceedings In due form Mr. Preston was directed to cast the vote. He made the simple announcement: *“T cast 788 votes for Henry T. Gage of Los Angeles.” Charles A.
