Nutt of San Diego He Mr. President and members of the Sen- ate—If there is any one characteristic of the present State Senate that has im- | steam engine, SECONDED BY BOYCE. Senator Boyce of Santa Barbara spoke as follows in seconding Grant's nomination: Realizing the responsibility which rests upon myself and believing as I do that | my fellow Senators are consclous of that | fact this is indeed an important hour. We are called upon at this time to act and to exercise what I believe to be the highest | political ~function that we,_ enjoy. We must, at such a time as this, reflect upon | the effect of our conduct; at such a time | fellow Senators, it behooves us | nsider the attitude in which we stand upon this floor. We are all here in a delegated capacity; we are here as the agents of the people and we believe— at least I belleve, and 1 think it is In | unison with the intelligent opinion of every man—that when we exercise this function we should do so with regard to | the effect thereof upon our principals. Coming as 1 do from the southland, I rec- ognize the territorial expanse of our Stat —I do not extend It, Mr. President, to those airy reglons which the eloquence of | my friend from Pasadena so beautifully depleted—but I do recognize the actual conditions which confront us. The physical conditions of our State are such that our interests are diverse, and there is no question but what the prece- dent has been established in this State that each of the sections of the State ehould be represented in the halls of Con- gress ought to be perpetuated. There are questions affecting Southern California which require a familiarity and which de- mand that a local representative should | stand in the Senate of the Unfted States in order that an intelligent treatment | thereof might be felt and understood. I | belfeve, Mr. President, that in the south- | land we are entitled to have the seat | which has been 8o honorably and worthily filled by the Hon. Stephen M. White filled again with a candidate from that section of the State; and, Mr. President, I have listened with some degree of interest to the descriptions given in the nominating | speecheg of the gentlemen who have been | named for this exalted place, and while | 1 felt that some of those descriptions ex- | actly applied to the gentleman whom de to second for United States Sen- I feit that the only defect and the peculiarity of those speeches was the nd where the disjunction took place. Now, I believe, and I say here that my constituents, whom I represent and for | whom 1 speak, have uttered their opinion on_this, subject. 1 believe that we are under obligations to listen to the voice of | the people. I believe it is our duty to con- sider the effect of our action updbn our constituents and that we, in fact, are acting in a representative capacity, Be- lieving, and, 1 say, my constituents be- lieving that when the object and purpose | of our act is considered a man most emi- | nently fitted to carry for our State into | lis of Congress the passport issued | by th reign State of California which | will entitle him to represent us in that august assembly, 1 believe that that man —based upon a knowledge of him, based | | upon what we know of him—is Ulysses 8. Grant Jr. of San Diego. | Therefore, Mr. President, it gives me wsure to second his nomination. I be- | e at this time it is well said that ae- ions speak louder than words, and vyet, | Mr. President, any reflecting man knows that action unguided by truth and honor | becomes destructive; and although the | under the control of the 1 in the na- representing at et action, this S r out T commenced tion and not that_it e of words that is this body Georg: words. it lect a man | ild-hearted, elect they beautiful ct netion—a great_ c s plendid sp n's name, sir after the will have men of r, that will live ds that 1 am now been forgotten ected because, 1 come there- 1 come | Me- n; wrmony, sir, al administration.

(Applai st BURNS SECONDED BY WOLFE hed manhood— I respectfully submit ) Burns’ nomination was seconded by Sprémor Wolfe of San Francisco, who said: Mr. President and gentlemen of the Sen- ate; At last the time has arrived when the Legislature of this State, pursuant to the laws of the land, will proceed to elect a United States Senator to succeed Hon. Stephen M. White, and it is_with pleasure th: rise to say that San Fran- cisco joins with Santa Clara in seconding | the nomination of Colonel D. M. Burns. Ever faithful to the principles of the Re- publican party, Colonel Burns has been ader for ‘many years past, and I t here now that when he shall have elected Senator, as 1 hope that he will be, before long he will take a promi- nent piace in the councils of the Repub Jdican party of the nation. But, Mr. Pre ident, when he shall have been elect Senator he will not be merely the rep- resentative of the Republican party—he | will represent the entire people of the State of California, and its many inter- ests will have his constant care and at- tention. It has been said, sir, that Col- onel Burns is no orator, that he cannot compare with the matchless men who Pears’ Pears’ soap is noth- ing but soap.

We have our agricultural, our horticultural, our viticultural, our min- eral, and all of the great interests; our itime and shipping interests, and every interest almost that you could name in any nation on the face of the earth. - We have our majestic mountains, reaching 15,000 feet above and our his- toric valleys 300 feet below the level of the calm blue sea; we have every inter- ington, District of Columbia, United | States of America. s GILLETTE NAMES KNIGHT | George A.

He said: We are all agreed that now is the time, above all other tim that Californi select a Senator that would abiy and theinterest of > nation in the halls of Congre Cal- ifornia stands at the dawn of a new era. No longer it marks the picket line of American advancement. To-day it stands midway between the Far East and the Far West, and through its golden gate must —or, ‘at_least, ought to—pass the com- merce that soon will spring up between the East and our new possessions in the Orient. These great changes have been brought about by reason of our war with Spain. This war has left us, as a heritage, a | new territory teeming with thousands of people who are now our wards, and who must be protected. Great questions to- day confront the American people—ques- t moment and of internation- We as a people must fair- ly meet them and pass upon them so jus- | tice may be done and in years to come credit may redound to us and history may praise and commend our actions.

He said: I take great pleasure in nominaing for brilliant and gifted men that ever gecu- | pled a seat in themost august deliberyive body on earth. His path to political ijs tinction has alw been marked by the highest attributes manhood. His mateh. less eloquence has a. all times summoned to the standard of all that honorable and most progressive those who are the | Stephen M. White. leaders in public life, as ROdi’ri}'k Dhu summoned together the members of his clan. When in the United States Senate, that magnificent theater, he was at once recognized as a leader in that body. He s old enough to know the duties of I exalted station and young enough to pe form those duties with energy and suc- His whole life has been a living ex cess | ponent of those principles of Democracy which are coeval with the existence of | this republic, and his career has at all times Been characterized by these attri- pressed Itself upon my mind it is that ac- tions, more than words, are at a premium here, and therefore I say that in itself should be sufficient apology, if any apol- 0By be necessary, for the brevity of m remarks. Mr. President, 1 take grea pleasure in placing in nomination for the exalted position of United States Senator from the golden State of California the name of U. 8. Grant Jr. and in doing so I desire to impress upon the minds of each and every Senator present that the reat increase In our commerce on the Pacific Ocean and of our general commer- cfal relations, which we all hope and be- lieve the near future has in store for us, makes the election of a United States Senator always an_important privilege and duty for the State Leglislature—es- eclally fmportam at this time; and bear- ng this in mind, plainly, let us then elect | to the United States Senate a man whose | honesty and ability go unchallenged; whose name is loved and revered, not only in the Btate of California, but also in the entire United States—aye, in the whole world; let us name for our United States Senator Ulysses 8. Grant Jr. Many of the Eastern States have deter- mined upon an excellent policy by return- ing to the Congress of the United States | their Senators and Representatives term after term, believing that a man who has served 2 term in Congress has there- by acquired a knowledge of the laws and of legislation, a personal influence and acquaintanceship that makes him of greater value to his constituency than ny new man could possibly be. If we elect Mr. Grant to the United States Sen- ate he will be no stranger to the law- makers at our national capital, for he is a man who has a personal acquaintance with most, if not all, of the leading men in Congress, and he will need no intro- duction to the present Republican admin- istration in Washington. If we elect Mr. Grant to the United States Senate he will | immediately command that high respect in the Senate among his fellow-members that is usually given only to men who | have served in the halls of Congress for many vears. Let us, then, elect Mr, Grant for our United States Senator and by doing s0 homor a man who, by his f;;nllv to the fundamental principles of the ergy, will make us a successful Senator. Let us then, 1 say, elect for our Senator ! T. Mr. T'. 8. Grant, for his influence among the men in Washington who make our laws and give us our appropriations and make him the most dignified Senator, as well as the most successful one; and when we have done this we have done our duty; we have honored the name of Mr. Grant and Mr. Grant himself by so elect- ing him. and he will be an honor to the State. When this has been done the uni- versal cry will go up from the people, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, from the orange groves of Florida to the | ator. frigid boundary line that separates this republic from ‘the Dominion of Canada, well done. epublican party by his untiring en- | scientific methods properly applicable to it made useful to humanity, vet it| bécomes the instrument of death when the power within it—the action within it—is not controlled by the governor and those instruments which in_the hands of the | engineer make it useful, when they are out of order it may become destructive | aua horrible. Believing, therefore, that the environ- ments, that the character, the reputation and the ability of the man whom I desire to second makes him eminently fit to rep- resent our great sovereign State at Wash- ington, I say that it gives me great | pleasure to second his nomination. | — CUTTER SECONDS GRANT. Senator Cutter of Yuba spoke as fol- lows in seconding the nomination of Grant: | Mr. President: On four different occa- | slons, twice as a member of our sister | State of Nevada and twice as a member of the Legislature of this State, it has been my fortune to second the nomina- | tion of a candidate for the office of Sen- ator of the United States, and In each instance it happened that that candidate was elected. ,And to-day, in arising to 3 nd the nomination of Ulysses 8. | Grant, T do so with a full conviction that he also will be chosen. It has been said by some that Mr. Grant is simply the son | of his father and that that was the sole reagon for his eandidacy. Even if that w true, Mr. President, it seems to me | that loyal apd patriotic Americans might | do far worse than honor the dead captain one of the most illustrious military lead. ers in the world's history and one to | whom more than almost any other this | Union owes its life, by bestowing upon | his son the Senatorial toga. But, glr.[ President, Mr. Grant is much more than simply the son of his father. He is a | gentleman of culture and education, of wide reading and observation, a._gentle- man of broad and liberal ideas. He is a practical and successful business man. Like his father, he is a gentleman always, in the truest acceptance of that term. Like his father, his integrity is beyond all question, and, like his father, his life is pure and unstained. A resident of Cali- fornia for five times as many years as the lamented Baker was months a resi- dent of our sister State of Oregon when elected to the same office, he is well ac- | quainted with her wants, and he yields to no one in his devotion to this the State of his adoption and in his love and in his desire for her welfare and her prosperity. If elected he will be in full and perfect | accord with our other Republican Sen- Like him, unawed by power and unbought by gain, he will in all things obey the will of the people of this State and do all in his power to advance and | Californta will be ably represented est that could be imagined, almost. The products of the great State of Cal- ifornia are the wonder of the world, anu the soll of our State is the most produc- tive In the nation. We have an empire within ourselves, and in order that that should be preserved we must send to our national councils in her tions a man who is broad-gauged enough to grasp with his mind every interest that will not only subserve our State but our nation. Not only that, we must, Mr. President, have & man whose loyaity to this Government and to the flag of our country is not only bounded by the con- fines of the nation and nation’s posses- slons, but, as has recently been sald, that can only be bounded on the north by the aurora borealis, on the south by that which is invisible, on the east by the ris- fng sun and on the west by the day of Judgment. We want ;lnch & man, who is bra'?d- gaugé enough to Sp every question that can be brou E‘t‘abefl)m our nation's Legislature, and in the interest of Cali- | fornia and the United States of America, arid can grasp all the questions that come before that body. We love California, every one of us. \We are here to repre- sent her Interest, and were I to propose a sentiment in this moment in favor of California_ I would do, perhaps, as a member of Congress did years ago in re- gard to another Scate of this Union. I would sa; “California, 1000 miles loni,nm ng | miles wide, 4000 miles deep, and reacl to the stars.” Gentlemen, California has to-day with- in her borders a gentleman who will fill the bill that I have pictured at this time. I have had the honor and the pleasure and the privilege of situng for six years in the Legislature of this State—this be- ing the fourth term—with a gentleman o I know is able, a conscientious legis- lator, one who will grasp the situation, one who loves the State of California, one who is able to grasp all of the ques- tions, knowing the situation, having been a resident of this State for sixteen years past, and I say to you that if you will elect the Hon. Robert N. Bulla of Los Angeles County to the Senate of the United States from this State, that, with the present Hon. Senator George C. Perkins and the Hon. Robert N. Bulla there will be no mistake made, and that Cglifornia won’t have to take a back seat from any State In this Union as to her representatives. Now, I have known this gentleman for years, and I want to say to you that there has never been a moment of his life since I have known him that he hagn’t been honest, industrious, and hasn’t worked for the good of the State, since he has been selected as a repre- sentative. The great fmperfal eounty of Los An- geles presents to you, gentlemen, the name of Hon. Robert ulia, and we ask you to give him your support, and we know that when you do that—and we believe you will do it—the great State lof n legislative ac- | ! all the States {n the Union, California | is the most interested, situated as it is, | and therefore necessar that we | | should be represented in the halls of Con- gress by a man that we can trust on all sions to take the nfhl step and_be able to decide fairly anc W should have a man there of ability; who is alive to the interest country and our State; a man that | we can trust; a man whose judg- | ment will be received in the = cool | deltberations; & man_ whose eloquence, | whose logic,” whose fairness and whose force will be heard and appreciated on | the floors of Congress; such a man I have in mind—a man who has lived in Califor- | nia ever since he was a child, 2 man who | has always been interested in the progress of our Btate, who has been identified with | all of its Interests, a_man who has been | loyal always to the Republican party, a | man who has fought for Republican | principles ever since he has been old | enough to have a volce in the affairs of the natlon; a man who, by his fealty to his party, by the loyal work for his party, | by the Interest that he has had in this | State and her possessions; a man entirely worthy of our recognition at this time. Such a man is George A. Knight, a typi- cal Californian, a man who appreciates | the Interests of our State, a man who has | always been loval to the party of this | State, a man who has fought all his bm-; | tles and that, too, without any reward— and 1 feel that, when I tender his name to this Senate asking that the high honor of United States Senator be conferred | upon_him, T am presenting the name of | an able man, a man that will be appre- | ciated in Whashington, a man that can | fairly represent us, and a man who, by | his fealty to his party, has justly earned and justly deserves his reward. I submit that to such a man such honors should go | and the toga of the Senate should be | placed on such shoulders; and I therefore | take the greatest of pleasure in present- | ing the name of Hon. George A. Knignt | as a candidate for the United States | Senate to this body. | eyl ROWELL NOMINATES BARD, Senator Chester Rowell of Fresno nominated Thomas R. Bard. He said: According to the best-American stand- | ard the ideal Senator should typify in his ! own personality the very highest type of | American citizenship. He should be well e | ucated, refined, digni- | fled; he should have a | broad knowledge national and interna- tional questions; he | should be possessed of all of those qualities | which go to make up the American states- - ;flfln.r He lslhg“‘d be j free from al usiness Thomax R, Bard. and corporation en- tanglements, and upon his private and his | | | eharacter; of | 8 butes which so distinguished the early found of this nation. The result of the recent war has con- fronted us with new problems under changed conditions. We have demon- strated anew the deathless, godlike valor of American arms and the imperishable brotherhood of the American people. We have demonstrated to the nations of the earth that our gunners have lost none of their fathers’ skill and that our navy, ship for ship, is the best that salls upon the sea. We have redeemed, regenerated and liberated people in the most distant isles of the sea. Never before has our flag floated, as a symbol of possession, over so vast a territory. Not from the Arctic to the Gulf and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, but in those islands of the sea where the Caribbean breaks, and that farther archipelago washed by the China Sea, the star-spangled banner to-day g:;t: t‘n lpmudest triumph.

He spoke as fol- ows: Mr. President, I take great pleasure in secondin, the mnomination ~of Hon. Stephen M. White as a candidate for re- glection to the Senate of the United States, and I belfeve, Mr. President, that the judgment day has not quite reached us vet, that it is not in the Far West, but to-day the people of California are In serious reflection, and are makin% up thelr minds how 'the day of judgmen ghall come and when it shall be ren- dered, and I believe that though a mem- ber of the humble minority if we could take our candidates before the people to- day in the State of California and could come here as representative men getting the expression from the people, that would make a mighty factor in this elec- tlon here to-day, and I take pleasure in nominating a_man that I belleve, if the people of California could settle the que: tion by their votes and voices, would set- tle in"his behalf, and that would be in behalf of the Democratic nominee, Hon. tephen M.

Speaker Wright's gavel was not necessary to quiet the crowd that had gathered to see Dan Burns and his allies measure for the first time their corrupt strength againft the decent element among the State’s lawma. It was a quiet, orderly crowd anyway although it was a well- stuffed one. Burns’ henchmen and rooters q crowded round the gate and the ralil in the back of the chamber, but they had simply come to lend volume to the scant applause that met the efforts of those on the floor who were to put their MENTO, Jan. ringing strokes were master in nomination for the United States Senate. They refrained from noise during the progress of other :peakers and attempted none of their 04 convention tactics. There w absolute quiet when Spaaker Wright announced. that the tims had come when under the law the ssumbly should cast its ballot to fill | Calitarnia’s vacancy in_the Senate and he ordered Chiet Clerk Kyle to read the statutes and sections from 1d constitution. Dibble followed with resolution, moving that “the Assembly do now proceed to make nominaticys and cast its vote” and the resolution was forthwith adopted. William H. Cobb, chairman of the San Francsco delegation, was first recognized among those who rose to attract the Speaker’s attention and was given the privilege of the floor. He took his position before the desk of the Speaker and facing his fellows opened in as excellent & nominat- ing speech as Las ever been heard on the floor th en fight of Dan M. Burns. His say was of length, but he commanded t attention of hi of it and, d terest and held the to the last word » cause which he publicly espoused, there was no stint in the applause that was given him. In Justice to the members on the floor though it must be d that it was most largely indulged in by Satalas the raililng and the al convinced in the San Francisco delegation. Dan had but one immediate nd, Pierce of Yolo. Kenneally of San neisco made a wild attempt to show Dan how he stood, but the Grant people had the floor and he was kept waiting until all of those who were to second Bulla hai had their say. Then he proceeded at no length though he was heard by every one in the chamber. The balloting went off without a hitch and immediately the result was an- nounced Dibble moved that the Senals be at once notified of the vote. The motion was adopted and the Chief Clerk bore the tidings to the Senate, which later sent in to the Assembly official notice of its own vote and by resolu- tion of which the Senate was notified and in which it concurred adjournment was taken to to-morrow, when both houses will meet at noon in the Assem- bly chamber to cast the first vote on joint ballot for United States Senator. The nominating speeches are given herewith. SR COBB NOMINATES BURNS. Assemblyman Cobb took his stand facing those on the floor of the cham- ber immediately in front of the Speak- er's desk and in placing D. M. Burns in nomination for the United States Sen- ate said: ‘We have sssembled to-day to elect a United Statés Senator. A preliminary question, however, seems worthy of con- sideration, viz.: What personal qualifications does the office re- quire? The century of our existence has seen us advance from an insignificant place among nations to tha front rank of the world's great powers. p During this time wa have carefully avoid- ed the complicationy of international poli- itics and our progress has been distin- guished by a steady adherence to the de- velopment of our internal resources. The marvelous increase in public and private wealth has manifested itself in [dening the circle of education and in elevating the standard of popular intelligence. Oun position to-day is not only unprecedented, it is phenomenal. But as soclety becomes more and more complex the work of government becomes more and more difficult. We have reached the point which every nation must event- ually reach, where the iconoclastic spirit of flxe age asserts that the time has coma to remew our constitution. A broader feld of action has opened before us and & change of national policy is imminent. Startling possibilities both for good and for evil confront us, and whether the fu- ture shall bring new blessings to civili- zation or shall scatter the treasures gath- ered with so much toil and suffering de- pends upon the men who guide the ship of state. I submit that the first qualification for the office of Senator is a clear mind well stored with useful knowledge. Whenever or wherever men meet to deliberate the trained@ intellect is always the master.
