The Sen- ator got off a little joke at his own ex- pense that not one in flve hundred seemed to grasp. He referred to George C. Par- dee's Initials as standing for “‘Good Cal fornia Patriot,” and the crowd cheered, notlcing that the same initials are 5. not also those of George C. dee, who was as affable and as much master of the situation and of himself s when on the platform at Sacramen withdrawing his name from the nomina- tion for Governor. W. R. Davis, who recelved a defeat at the primaries that has a strong resem- blance to that of his rival at Sacramento, was there. Judge Frank Davis, Gage in nomination, and Mayor Thomas were there to talk lightly of personal de- feat and to forward the success of the party at large. The Meeting Called to Order. Senator Perkins, in calling the meeting to_order, sald: “Fellow Citizens: 1 refoice with you that we meet here to extend greetings to our leader placed in nomination in Sacra- mento.” He proceeded to tell of the State Conven- tion, saying that the delegates were repre- sentatives of the Republican party, and, therefore, representatives of the people of the State of California. “We had hoped that the nomination might fall to one of our sons, but the fates willed otherwise.” Senator Perkins sald that the people were satisfied with the result, and that they would as loyally stand by H. T. Gage as they would by Pardee, had he been nom- inated. He eulogized Pardee, McKinie and Hilborn. Not only the Californ resentatives did their duty, but the whole administration showed that it was an hon- est representation of the people. The he- roes of the war were briefly touched upon, producing tremendous cheers from the audience. George C. Pardee Chairman. George C. Pardee was introduced as chatrman. He sald: “Ladles and Gentlemen: As you will no- tice by my voice, I have been to Sacra- mento. I used it up in the past two or three days shoutin@ for my political an- tagonist. We went up as Strong antago- nists, but we have come back as firm friends.” Dr. Pardee told of his approaching the delegates from the south and clearly stating the position of the people of Ala- meda County. He told them that whoever who placed Mr. was nominated would have the hearty |s support of the people of this county. ‘Alameda_is not thin-skinned, and we shall, 1 believe, give a_bigger majority than ever for the Republican ticket this fall. I want to thoroughly impress th fact upon our visitors from the citrus belt, so that they can go homé and tell their friends that the banner will not go south this year, although the nomiration went_there. I do not believe there is a Republican in Alameda County who, when | defeated, will sulk in his tent. T was beaten at Sacramento, but by a man whom every Republican may feel proud to follow.” Presented With a Bouquet. B. Fehnemann stepped forward as Dr, Pardee sat down and on behalf of the Oro Fino Club of Los Angeles presented He FITTINGLY WILL HONOR OLD AGE. Being the Oldest Methodist Preacher in the World. “Father” Lorenzo Waugh's four-score-and-tenth birthdsy is to be fit- tingly celebrated this evening in the Howard-street Methodist Church. The sacred edificé will be crowded with friends and admirers of the grand old man and addresses of congratulation are to be made by the pastor, Rev. J. A. B. Wilson, Senator George C.

Loud Faces His Adversaries, Ask- ing for Justice. Annual Encampment of the Army and Navy Republican League—Gage Indorsed. Seamans Elected Commander. Delegates to the fifteenth annual en- campment of the Army and Navy Repub- lican League assembled at Alcazar Hall at 2 p. m. yesterday. The session, lasting from 2 o’clock until 6 p. m., was animated throughout and at Intervals exciting. A motion to iIndorse Leon Jones for Bheriff of Ban Francisco was carried with cheers for Jones, but a motion to indorse Eugene F. Loud for Congress in the Fifth District caused a breeze of excitement and prompted Mr. Loud to assert that his name had been brought before the convention without his knowl- edge or consent. Sharp strife between Los Angeles and Oakland over the office of commander-in-chief resulted in an- other victory for the south. The honor went to W. H. Seamans, a close personal friend of Henry T. Gage, the Republi- can nominee for Governor. The convention was called to order by Judge McElroy, commander-in-chief. Little time was lost in preliminaries. A caommittee on credentlals was appointted, but the hall was so densely packed with | Grand Army veterans, who had assem- bled either as delegates or spectators, that the committee had hard work !oi get out of the maln hall into a smaller room. While the committee was exam- ining the credentials presented by the va- rious camps, the convention was enliv- ened by spirited speeches. The comman- der introduced Comrade Loud, and the representative in Congress from the Fifth responded. He observed that it would not be the truth to say that the call to speak was unexpected, as every | one knew that men in public life were expected to speak on such occasions. He | recalled the incidents of his youth and | the great events of the war from 1861 to 1865, and paild @ compliment to the civic patriotism of the veterans, who were de- fending the civil interests of the coun- | try as good citizens. He spoRe of his| own reluctance, as a public man, to ad- vocate that the country should embark u‘xua. war with Spain. In substance he A | | “Our work has not ended. The nation has entered on a new course. Graver uestions now confront us than ever be- ‘ore confronted this country. I dreaded the embarkation of the country in another war, Jearlng that questions of government would arise that our constitution did not rovide for. We must legislate anew. New forms of government must be intro- duced, When the year began these ques- tions were not considered. Away down in the hearts of the American people there is a sentiment that will not permit | the surrender of anything we have fought for and conquered. I am conservative, | and have been called ultra-conservative; but I realize that Porto Rico and Cuba must be governed by the strong arm of a powerful nation. In my judgment, Cuba will never pass from under the folds of the American flag. “The conditions and elements of com- mercial expansion of the Atlantic coast of our counu% as applied to the retention of Cuba and Port ico apply with equal o mands in reference to the Phllipglne Islands. A stronfi government {s there needed, so that the commerce of the Pa- cific will receive the advantage of tne | ncgulsltlon." Colonel George Babcock was the next | on the platform, and he spoke of the new | pase in the history of the human race. ie declared that the flag should ever re- main where it now floats. He believed that the war was ordained as a step in the emancipation of the human race. Speeches were made by W. H. Seamans, General E. 8. Salomon, Major E. A. Sher- man, ex-Governor Gosford, Colonel Tal- cott and Colonel C. L. Plerce. W. H. H. Hart told the delegates about a Frh’ale interview which he had recently with President McKinley. According to the version of the ex-Attorney General the interview lasted from midnight until 2 a. m. Bchoonemaker New Jersey was present throughout the conference. When the interview began the President | Sacramento. He said in opening: It is | gnd Populist primaries passed off quiet- difficult for me to tell you How (fi»eply the [ ly. There was no contest. Good vote people of Alameda have touched ourIlvollPd. : expressed some doubt as to the wisdom | out. the courage to appeal from the decision | of returning the conquered islands of the Philippine group, but as the interview progressed new light was shed on_the situation by General Hart and the New Jersey statesman. At 2 o'clock, accord- ing to the official report of General Hart, the President threw up his hands and agreed that the Philippines should be re- tained if California demanded such reten- tion. The President declared that he would do more for California than for any other State of the Unlon, not exceg_;lns his own State of Ohjo. General art therefore desired the convention to ex- press its sentiments on the question by a resolution, which resolution should be transmitted to President McKinley. HThe tale was beautifully told by General art. The committee on credentials was now ready to report, but some delegates be- longing to the disbanded Harrison Camp desire recognition so they could vote on the question of their own admission to the convention before the consideration of the committee report. They had a hint obviously that the report did not recom- mend_their admission. The veterans of the Harrison Camp were persistent and even noisy in their efforts to force the chairman to submit to a popular vote of all those present on the issue whetner they should come in or not. Apparently they were about to have thelr own way when C. T. Masteller produced the offi- cial records to show that no such thing existed in this world as the Harrison Camp of the Army and Navy Republican League. The camp once did exist, but in 1896 it was mustered out, disbanded, dropped from the rolls, dissolved and ex- tinguished—its charter had been revoked and its existence terminated. The chair ruled in effect that the delegates from | Harrison Camp were not officlally on earth and refused to entertain a motion from the myths. The ruling was a knock- The Harrisonians could not muster of the chair. The reading of the report of the execu- tive committee followed. admitted from Camps Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 14 and 15. Past officers entitled to seats were also recognized, making the | total number of votes in the convention i hour. When the convention was duly orgal ized ex-Governor Gosford of Los Angeles made a stirring speech, in which he said the Gage of battle has been thrown down. | He remarked: “I want to say to you old soldiers that Henry T. Gage is an honest man through and through to the core of his heart. He can neither be bought nor bulldozed. He is | blessed with a remarkable degree of exe- cutive ability, and is so gifted with per- ceptive power that he can measure the character of a man at a glance. He is the cleanest, bravest and best candidate for Governor ever placed before tne peo- ple of California. The best interests of the country demand that the FKepubli- cans should win the battle.” At this stage of the proceedings the committee on resolutions, consisting of Loud, . Salomon, Babcock, Talcott and Gosford, submitted the following report, which was adopted: Resolved, By the Army and Navy Republi- can League, in annual encampment assembled, that we heartily indorse the platform adopted by the Republican State convention in Sacra~ mento, August 24, 1898. Resolved, That we give the nominees of our party our full and ungqualified support and do everything possible for the success of the Re- | publican ticket. Resolved, That we belleve the great Repub- | lican party to be the true and tried friend of | the veteran soldiers and sailors of the war for the Unfon. Resolved, That we demand of the Republican party that the claims of the veteran Union sol- diers and sailors for their share in the dis- | tribution of Government employment be re- cognized. A resolution indorsing Leon Jones for Sheriff of San Francisco and pledging Veterans to support him was adopted, with three cheers for Jones. Colonel Blackburn of Leland Stanford Camp moved that the convention indorse Eugene F. Loud for renomination for Congress in_the Fifth District. Comrade Houguet of Oakland asked if Mr. Loud had ever raised his voice in ‘ongress against civil service. If there is ¥ man that ought to be opposed to efvil Delegates were | n- | | | service it was the old soldier. Blackburn—Comrad every man that carried a musket. Voice—Congressman Loud is on record against civil service. Comrade Houguet—If he is, the Con- gressional Record does not show it. Ido not vote in his district, but as a veteran I want to know if he has ever raised his voice against civil service. We turned down a man in the Third District, where I live, because he did not oppose civil ser- vice as applied to veterans. Better cut him off now lh};‘l to have him defeated at e polls by a Democrat. thCognrade Loud took the floor to speak, but Comrade C. Mason Kinne gestured for permission to say a word, Loud—TI can take care of myself. Kinne—Has the Republican party ever declared against civil service? I know Comrade Lou}t;l.htxor I served in the same regiment witl m. Igoud—l can take care of myself. I have been in hotter places than this. All I ask of any man here or elsewhere is simple fairness. No man is my enemy because he opposes my election,” but my name is not here for indorsement with my con- sent. When am nominated let those Who oppose me come forward. I recog- nize that every man has a right to aspire to public office and the right to criticize ublic servants. 1 never sought the in- gorsemem of this body or any other bod. under God's sun, and never shall. In jus- tice and honor to me, drop my name here. T am not ashamed of any act of mine in Congress. If the time ever comes that my conduct shall not accord with my own convictions of jusltice and duty I will re- tire from public life. After so‘x’no confusion, the motion to in- dorse Mr. Loud’s candidacy was with- drawn by Mr. Blackburn. Nominations for’ co&nmuder-m-rhlef were then declared in order. H. D. Talcott nominated George Bab- cock of Alameda. Comrade Smith nominated W. H. Sea- mans of Los Angeles. Colonel Charles L. Plerce of the Sons of Veterans and Major E. A. Sherman, a veteran of the Mexican War, and Com- rade Osborne seconded the nomination of Babcock. The nomination of Seamans was seconded by Colonel J. C. Currier and ex- Governor Gosford. The ballot resulted: Seamans 153, Bab- cock 49. 3 Comrade Ellis moved that Seamans election as comander-in-chief be declared unanimous. It was carried. H. D. Talcott was elected vice-com- mander, W. B. Benchly quartermaster, W. 8. Blackburn Inspector general, W. M. Hilton adjutant general and B. L. Hawk ordnance officer. An executive council was chosen, con- sisting of: T. C. Masteller, 8. M.’Carr, T. W. Sheehan, . H. Herrick, John W. Travers, C. L. Metzer. Harry Mathewson Frank Elllot Myers, George Babcock an John M. Lambert. The new officers were installed by Past Commander Salomon.

Z.—The cam- paign seems to have opened early here, as was evidenced by the Republican rati- | fication held to-night at Oak and Wash- ington streets. A large crowd was in at- tendance and a band discoursed music. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Charles Willard. He intro- duced Charles Beckman of Sacramento, formerly Railroad Commissioner, who addressed the assemblage for a half- The following speakers were then introduced in order: John Clements, Her- | bert Gans, Maurice Connell and T | Matlock. Matlock was the last speaker, and reviewed the record of each candi- date on the Republican State ticket. The rally closed with cheers for the Repubii- can &firt?

I J. Truman presided. A resolu- tion was adopted in which the action of the County Committee was criticized re- garding the manner adopted by that body In selecting delegates to the State convention. The object of introducing the resolution at this time was not so much to correct past errors as to caution the County Committee against a repeti- tion of what the club considered an un- fair mode of selecting delegates. The club was addressed by A. P. Van Duzer, Frank Zann, M. V. Taylor, Dor- san Nichols and E. I. Robinson. The following members were appointed on the executive ‘committee: Dorsan Nichols, John J.
