They loitered into the pavilion late as usual. Belleving that the unfinished business of the regular or- der could easily be disposed of hefo\_‘e the departure of the first afternoon train for San Francisco the city delegates made no haste to begin work. The members rep- resenting the interior counties did not manifest impatience over the delay, but waited on the pleasure of their. fellow men without a murmur. @ Chairman Neff rapped the convention to order at 10 o'clock—thirty minutes later than the appointed time—and announced that the first business in order would be the nomination of State Controller. Immediately James MeLachlan of Los Angeles ascended the steps of the plat- form and in a graceful speech presented the name of E. P. Colgan of Sonoma. A motion to close the nominations carried and the 788 votes of the convention were cast for Mr. Colgan. The office of Surveyor General, coming next on the list, E. O. Larkins of Tulare went to the forum and named for the place on the ticket M. J. Wright of Visalia. George A. Wentworth of San Francisco moved that the chairman cast 78 votes ‘for Mr. Wright. Grove L. Johnson of * Sacramento seconded the motion. ‘The motion prevalled without dissent and Mr. Wright was duly declared the nominee of the convention. It was known to the convention that there would be a contest over the office of State Treasurer, hence more than usual attention was given when nomina- tions for that position were declared to be in order. John G. North of Riverside named for the office Truman Reeves of San Bernar- dino, directing attention of the delegates to Reeves’' army service. In the battle of Cold Harbor Reeves lost an arm, and this great sacrifice in the country’s cause was mentioned in the several speeches which followed the nominating speech. Mr. Reeves’' nomination was seconded by J. W. Cook of Santa Clara, and Elwood Bruner of Sacramento. A. P. Van Dufier of Siskiyou fancled that it was time to introduce a little op- position from a region in Northern Cali- fornia which cast forty thousand votes for McKinley. He depicted the Republi- cans of Northern California as reconcen- trados. He exhibited a map illustrating the lines of the trocha within which the Republicans of that section were starv- ing for reécognition. Mr. Van Duser placed in nomination Robert Nixon of Yreka for State Treasurer. E. Sevier of Humboldt advocated the claims of Northern California for a place on the ticket and closed by seconding the suggestion to nominate Mr. Nixon. General E. 8. Salomon of San Francisco declared that he had not intended to speak again in the convention, but in the interest of 20,000 veterans who live on both sides of Van Duser's ditch he im- plored the convention to nominate Tru- man Reeves, ’/ AN WG 1,1 l L o ae oA (i ALL OF THE DELEGATES READ THE “CALL" BEFORE ORDER WAS CALLED. Miles ,‘)ody of Alameda, representing an orgamization of nine hundred old sol- diers and sailors, demanded that an old soldier be placed on the ticket. He in- dorsed Truman Reeves. A. B. Lemmon of Sonoma spoke in favor of recognizimg the newspaper fraternity and approved the nomination of Editor Robert Nixon. R. S. Taylor of Siskiyou seconded the nomination of Robert Nixon, and ap- pealed to the good judgment and sense of fairplay of the conventlon to accord to Northern California some little recogni- tion on the ticket. G. A. Sturtevant of Mendocino spoke in behalf of Truman Reeves, citing the fact that Siskivou had won everything in the district convention, and therefore had no right to demand the nomination of Nixon. Max Goldberg of San Francisco moved that. nominations be closed. The motion prevailed. The call of the roll was or- dered, resulting as follows: Nixon, 240; Reeves, 544. On motion of Mr. Sevier of Humboldt the nomination of Mr. Reeves was made unanimous. The chairman (A. Ruef pre- siding) announced that the Attorney Gen- eralship was next in order. John F. Davis of Amador placed in the field Tirey L. Ford of San Francisco, tak- ing occasion to eloquently allude to the candidate’s accomplisments in the law. W. M. Abbott of San Francisco second- ed Mr. Ford’s nomination, M. L. Ward of San Diego, speaking on behalf of W. C. Guy, the opposing candi- date, moved that the vote of the conven=- tion be cast for Tirey L. Ford. Chairman Neff, according to in- structions, cast the 778 votes for Mr. Ford and declared him the nominee for Attor- ney General. Superintendent of Public Instruction was designated as the next office on the list. Frank H. Short of Fresno submitted to the convention the name of Thomas J. Kirk of that county. Chairman Neff called a halt in the regu- lar proceedings to mention that he ob- served on the floor of the convention Hon. George C. Pardee, and therefore desired that he should come forward and occupy a seat on the platform. The doctor obeyed the call. As he went forward the delegates arose to their feet and gave him a mighty round of cheering ap- plause. 5 Ira G. Hoitt of San Mateo seconded the nomination of Mr. Kirk. H. C. Firebaugh of San Francisco moved that - the chair cast the ballot for Mr. Kirk. The motion met no opposition. Chairman Neff cast the 788 ballots as directed and declared the result. Next in order was the position of Super- intendent of State Printing. Judge Swin- nerton of San Joaquin roasted Governor Budd and placed in nomination A. J. Johnston of Sacramento—the incumbent. D. L. Fitzgerald of Alameda presented the name of W. W. Shannon of San Fran- Meisco, and praised Mr. Shannon as a worthy representative of his craft. Grove L. Johnson, in behalf of every school and all the school children of Cali- fornia, seconded the nomination of A. J. Johnston. On behalf of Mr. Shannon, D. L. Fitz- gerald moved that the ballot of the con- vention be cast for Mr. Johnston. The motion was unanimously carried, and the ballot was accordingly cast. The chair announced the result. E. F. Preston of San Mateo introduced the following question, which was adopted: Resolved, That the executive committee ot the Republican State Central Committee to be named by the nominee of this convention for Governor be and they are hereby authorized and empowered to appoint the auditing com- mittee for the nominees of this convention, as provided for in the act to promote the purity of elections by regulating the conduct thereof approved February 23, 1893. v Resuming the regular routine of busi- ness, the chair announced that candidates for Clerk of the Supreme Court should be named. § A. B. Lemmon of Sonoma put in nomi- nation George W. Root. C. M. Belshaw of Contra Costa, W, H. Galbraith of Santa Cruz, R. W. Church, Rudolph Marshall and Dr. Tisdale of Ala- meda and many other delegates joined in asking that the nomination of Mr. Root be made by acclamation. Following the course which the lawyers suggested in the Governor’s nomination, the chairman cast 788 ballots for George W. Root for Clerk of the Supreme Court. Chairman Neff, in a few remarks, sought to impress the convention with the importance of making promptly the se- lection of the best men to comprisk the | Republiczn State Central Committee. The roll was called by counties and names were given to the secretary. W. M. Cutter of Yuba moved that the thanks of the convention be given to Hon. Jacob Neff for the courtesy, impartiality and ability displayed as presiding offi- cer. Mr. Cutter put the motion and it was carried with cheers. W. F. Price of Sonoma moved that, the | thanks of the convention be extended to | the people of Sacramento. The motion carried. On motion of Mr. Cutter the convention with three rousing cheers for the ticket adjourned sine die. e, |CLOSING SCENES IN THE CONVENTION HALL YERBATIM REPORT OF THE FINAL PROCEEDINGS IN A MEMOR- ABLE GATHERING. Strong Men Named to Complete the | Ticket With Which Republicans Will Do Battle in November. The conventon was called to order by the charman at 10:15 a. m. The chair—The next business in order will be the nomination of a candidate for Controller. James McLachlan—Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention: The gentle- man that I shall name for the office of Controller of the State of California is dis- tinctly a man of the people. Born in a humble cottage, a Native Son of the Gold- en West, educated in the public schools of the State of California, trained as an arti- san, by means of which in early manhood he earned his living by the sweat of his brow. While his hands were yet callous in his daily occupation he was elected Sheriff of the county in which he was born and had resided all his life. He was re-elected and, so well did he perform the duties of that office that he was finally elected Controller of the State of Cali- fornia. During his term of office he has disbursed over sixty million dollars of the funds of this State and not a word has ever been uttered as to the manner in which those funds have been distributed. Fellow Republicans I need not even men- tion the name of the gentleman, for you all know that I refer to E. P. Colgan, and I now nominate him for that office. (Ap- plaise and cheers.) It was moved and seconded that the nominations close. - Carried. Senator E. C. Voorheis of Amador—Mr, Chairman: I move that the chairmah-of this convention cast the entire vote of this convention for Mr. Colgan for State Controller. Seconded and carried unanimously. The chair—In accordance with the mo- tion just carried, I' have the honor to announce that I have cast 788 votes on f of this convention for, the office of Controller of State. (Applause.) I now declare E, P. Colgan the nominee of this convention: for that office. The chair—The next order of business, gentlemen, will be nominations for the office of Surveyor General. ki 2 i LARKIN OF TULARE . NAMES MR. WRIGHT Social Qualities and Integrity of the Surveyor General Praised by the Speaker. E. O. Larkin of Tulare—Gentlemen of this convention: That which commends the Republican party to this nation is its ability to do well whatever it undertakes, its disposition to treat as sacred the rights of the most humble citizen and a realiza- tion that, after all, it is Dut the servant of the people, each’of whom 1s In himself K name of a sovereign. 1 have the honor to-day, gentlemen of this conventlon, to place in nomination a gentleman who believes that every citi- zen of this great commonwealth of the State of California is a sovereign and en- titled to be treated as such whenever he enters the office of the Surveyor General. Whatever may be our rank, we are al- ways met with a smile and welcome in the office of the Surveyor General. He is willing to do our business well. Like the great party to which he belongs, he is able to do and has ability to do well that which he undertakes. Like the party to which he belongs, he believes that the rights of every citizen of this State of California should be held sacred. In ail of the great battles that the Republican party has fought in defense of human rights, in all the struggles for commereial supremacy, in all of its contests for the preservation of the American market for the American product, he has stood the champion of its liberty, a brave soldler in its ranks. I am not here for the purpose of urging his nomination at the hands of any par- ticular delegation on this floor, as I b lieve that he Is the choice of us all. He belongs to us all. Whatever may be our differences, gentlemen, upon other mat- ters, 1 believe that you will ee with me that we are united upon M. J. Wright for Surveyor General of the State of Cali- fornia. (Applause.) Four years ago we of Tulare County presented him to you as an_ experiment, and stated to you that we believed him to be an honest and an efficient officer; but to-day he stands before you as no experiment. He is ripe in the experience of tne office and has proved himself to be a man of the people, a. man capable of at- tending to the business of that office. He was then as big as the county of Tulare; but to-day, gentlemen, he is as big as the State of California, and I hope that every delegation on this floor will support M. J. Wright for Surveyor General of the State of_California. Mr. Wentworth of San Francisco—Be- lleving as I do that General Wright is the unanimous choice of this convention for the office of Suveyor General, I move that the nominations be closed, and that the chairman of this ‘convention cast 788 votes for Mr. Wright for the office of Surveyor General. The chair—Are there any further nomi- nations? Grove L. Johnson of Sacramento—In behalf of the twenty-four delegates, and in behalf of the 4600 Republicans of Sac- ramento County, who have learned about Mr. Wright during the four years he has been here, recognizing him as an hon- est man, a faithful public servant and stanch Republican, we second the motion ‘of the gentleman from San Francisco. The motion of Mr. Wentworth being duly seconded and carried, the chair sdid: The chair—The chairman of the con- vention casts 788 votes for M. J. Wright for the office of Surveyor General, as the nominee of the Republican party. I now_ declare M. J. Wflght the nominee of this_convention for the office of Sur- ve’fl,‘)r General. e next order of business, gentlemen, will be the nomination of a candidate for the office of State Treasurer. kR HONORING AN OLD CRIPPLED SOLDIER Truman Reeves of San Bermardino Nominated for the State Treasuryship. Mr. North of Riverside—Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention: In the nominating speeches. which have been made before this convention we - have heard much regarding the war which has just happlly closed. We have heard much of its magnificent successes. We have heard much of the grand achieve- ments of those heroes who have, within the past few months, blazoned their names upon an imperishable page of our country’s history. But I say to you, gen- tlemen, that within our recollection this country has passed through a war fraught with more important issues, a war which declded the very existence of the mation, and these glorious deeds which we have heard of here have but served to bring afresh to our memory the trials, the perils and the sacrifices of the men of 1861. It is for one of these men, gentlemen of the convention, that I ask your support. It is for one of these men who, at the out- break of the war of the rebllion, took his place in the ranks of his country’s defense. Who, as & member of the Sixth Ohto Cavalry, fought .thro twenty battles and left an arm ou the | 1 | | P'been defeated in a convention bloody fleld of Cold Harbor. Gentlemen of the convention, I place before you the Truman Reeves of San Bernar- dino. (Applause). Mr. Reeves has been a resident of that county for twenty years. During that perfod he has been repeatedly nominated and elected to public office, and has never or at the polls. He has always been elected, either practically without opposition, or by a majority far in advance of his party strength. When 1 see, gentlemen, an empty sleeve and know that the arm which once filled it has been offered up as a sacrifice on the altar of my coun- try, 1 resolve, gentlemen, that so far as it” lies within my power that sacrifice shall not go unhonored and unrequited. (Cries of “Time, time’). Gentlemen of the convention, time has been called and I do not desire to de- tain you by any lengthy speech, but I say to you cast your votes for that one- armed soldier, that upright citizen, that honest man, that faithful Treasurer, Tru- man Reeves of San Bernardino. J. W. Cook of Santa Clara—Mr. Chair- man and gentlemen of the convention: I toke great pleasure in seconding the nom- ination for the office of State Treasurer my old friend and associate legislator, Truman Reeves of San Bernardino (ap- plause), and when nominated, as he surely will be, rest assured that that empty sleeve, emptied at the battle of Cold Harbor, will prove no handicap in his race for the office of State Treasurer. (Applause.) Elwood Bruner of Sacramento—Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the conven- tion: When, a few months ago, the call came from the gallant sons of the repub- lic to go forth to do battle for the honor of the country, no greater thing was done for the American citizenship than the fact from that moment dated the obliter- ation of sectional lines throughout the Unied States; from that moment it was no longer the North or the South, the blue or the gray, but it was a people united by bonds of love, stirring forth in the cause of humanity, and that done by the American people. (Applause. To-day, as a member of this conven- tion from the northern part of the State, I say to you that if the same feeling ex- ists between the north and south of this State as when the war with Spain be- gan, the Democratic, Populist and Silver Republican party will be wiped from the face of the political map of Califor- nia as was the Spanish possessions of this country, and on behalf of us from the northern part of the State we extend to you that hearty feeling and second the nomimation of Truman B. Reeves of San Bernardino County. (Appiause.) The Republican party has been too modest. The Republican party has done more for the welfare of the country and of ‘the world than any other political party that has ever existed. The Demo- cratic party, that political harlot that sleeps more than two in a bed, has joined hands to defeat the will of the people; has opposed every interest that tge Re- publican party has put forth in the many years of its existence. It opposed the homestead laws, it opposed the pension laws, and it was a Democratic President who vetoed the giving in one term of 600 private pension bills. It was the Demo- cratic party, a Democratic Governor, that within two months {xast discharged from employment, for political reasons, an old soldier of the Union, and It is time for our party to take these matters up and show to the people of the country tglt we will stand bi’ our old soldiers and sailors; that we will put ourselves forward for what we have done. (Applause.) Of the man from San Bernardino I have this much to say: That he was a man who, when the call to arms came in 1861, went forward to do battle for his coun- try, and when his term of enlistment expired he re-enlisted, until in one of the trenches at Cold Harbor his arm was shot away, and he was released from service. I have this to say: That the man who will go forth to do batle? (|1 (II(|'ISH will go forth in battle to defend his coun- try's htznor will with his life defend his country’s treasury. That man is Truman B, Reeves. (Applause.) The chair—I recognize Mr. Van Duzer of San Francisco. m‘fr:. Van Duzer—Of Sisyiyou, Mr. Chair- The chair—Mr. Van Duzer of Siskivou. You moved a little farther up. = —_—— VAN DUZER TALKS WAR FOR FRIEND NIXON He Thinks the State Will Tip Up With the Weight of Southern Candidates. Mr. Van Duzer—Mr. Chairman and gen- tlemen of the conventlon: This acclama- tion business saves time, and is a good thing for the candidates, but it doesn’t look well in the newspapers. I think it is about time now to have a little op- osition, and we have in Northern Cali- ornia a man. There I spent the best days of my life before I came to San Francisco. It was forty-one years ago that I arrived in Siskiyou County, Cali- fornia, and the first man I met making battle then for the Republican party, one of seventeen who voted for John C. Fre- mont in 185, was the man I nominate here to-day for State Treasurer of the State of California. 1 want to say here that there is no man living who has a greater regard and a higher veneration for the Grand Army of the Republic, and I say for them that they do not come here demanding an of- fice, not a bit of it. Of course, we can compliment them. There are thonsands of places which they can be given; there are hundreds of places of honor and emol- ument in which they have been placed by the Republican party. And when I say that I place before you to-day a veter- an Republican, who has held aloft the banner of our party in the Democratic end of this State for forty years, and has changed that part of the State from two to one Democratic until it is now a Re- publican district by his efforts alone. Now, my friend who has just taken his seat says he is speaking for the north. Have they moved the State Capitol? (Laughter.) I didn't know {t. Is 8ac- ramento in the northern end of Califor- nia? If it is I did not realize it. The gentleman 1is a delegate from Sacra- mento. Now, gentlemen, I want to say one thing here, and don’t call time on me, because we have plenty of time. I want to say to you this: no sen- timental business at all, for is great office. The State Treasurer is not & mat- ter of sentiment; it is a matter of strict political business, Look here (exhibiting a map). know what the situation of this is, saying nothing of geograp! Do you ticket But, look at this. Here is a map of Califor- nia. 1 want to hang it up here as an object lesson. Do you see that?

I know they are roug men; they are not like the orange grove eople, or the polished people of Sant ancisco. They are rough men. Bul remember this: it was the Rough Rid:rs that carried your banner through . hell of shot and shell to victory. (Ap plause.) It was the Rough Riders mg\\t charged into the volcano, where earil and sky were mingled in flames on the hills of Santiago. (Applause.) Where did we get them? They will stay with you, and will stay with the Republican party, although we are thrown down again and again in the house of our friends. b We will be ashamed to place Robert Nixon here in the Kosluon of deman xzs our vote, although forty vears ago. i ptember, I stood on the platform Wit him in Miner’s Rook in Yreka, Democratic howling mob, led Lewls, stood on the platform and swWore— to use their own eloquent hm.ue—-h il‘d no Republican itor 8O0 speak in that fown, I saw that man, stricken down by my side with the bowie knife of a Democrat.
