THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11 1899. [AL STAGES/OF MAKING A SENATOR How Nominating Speeches Look With thé Glamour Taken Off. Matters in Such a State of Chaos That It Would Take a Born Seer to Penetrate the Veil and Make a Safe Prediction.

Now what do sane peo- ple think of such rot? Cobb admitted that if the charges were true, then public offi- cials were frauds, our courts a farce and our civilization a sham and a delusion. I could not see how all this had to do with the matter in hand, for some officials are frauds, some courts corrupt and our civilization more or less of a bluff. If it were not Burns would not be runnin, ttl‘;r e courts would have interfered. evertheless it was a mighty good eech, and would have fooled the stran- ger who might have happened in. The other speeches never quite reached the commonplace. Nominating speeches are 5 ow, when there Is an advance understanding as to who is to be named and by whom. None of the speeches made to-day won a vote. None of them set forth a single fact not fully in the possession of every auditor. Grant, Bulla, Barnes, Knight and Estee were all on the list before nominations closed. Balloting was about to begin. A rustle of expectation which the roar of the storm could not wholly conceal passed over the audience. Many kept tally, be- ing alded by the resonant announcements of Clerk Kyle. The result did not cre- ate surprise. Perhaps It caused a pang or two of grief. Perhaps these jolly As- semblymen want to keep the public in suspense Anybody who can read the end of the matter in the tally sheet of to-day would be justifiable in hanging out his shingle as the seventh son of a seventh son. Only this is plain—the Burns strength was overestimated by the imported Burns pa- triots, and while they can beat the world claquing and cackling, no one is borne into the Senate on the shoulders of the Federal Brigade. One difference between the Burns and the Grant strength is that the first came out in its entirety and the second may have something in sight regardless of sudden breaks in support which carry votes from one candidate to another, oftentimes without logical explanation. Such breaks occur suddenly, and they are certain to eventuate, or balloting would continue to the day of adjournment. To- night there is more excitement in the lobby than there has been before. Men who know all about it are telling what is to happen to-morrow, and as a searcher after truth I have listened. But other men who also know all about it lay down a programme wholly different. As there are about as many of these programmes as_there are men in the lobby, space for- bids this production here. | Political sentiment is a subtle and cu-| rious thing. Beneath the surface It is working to-night, {ts tangible manifesta- tion being a brightening of the chances of the candidates who have not been prominent, who have made no boasts and who have from the first depended upon the fallure of the leaders in the race to acquire more than initial support. They knew this support alone could not win, and had banked upon the inability of the contestants to bring up reserves. Of course there are some Kicks in the While the cost to guests was $5 a plate, one of them sald to-day the contract price of the caterer was 30.0ents a plate. This is not a fair view, for there were many other expenses —decoratlons, carriages and music—while a sight of the handsome malds and ma- trons was worth the price of admission even if the guests failed to get so much as a sandwich. It is learned that some of the can- didates have been displeased at certain re- marks made about them in the papers. Thus is the mission of the journalist made grievous to him, for he writes unkindly only under the impulse of duty and al- ¥s with a feeling of pain. He desires to elevate and refine, to expose iniquity and yank the mask off the false alarm. This is not a perfect figure. but it will do. Despite the cheering rainfall, I imagine certain touts will always look back to this winter as having been a hard one. They have worked faithfully, but their wages show si'mptoms of stopping, and there is no likelihood that they have saved much.

Happy the man to whom it is permitted to enjoy the | rewards of political eminence freed from the calumnies of envy and jealousy. But the frequency of these attacks destroys their force, and the groundlessness of po- litical charges has become proverbial. The superiority of man is indicated no less surely by the character and motives of his assailants than by the confidence and respect of his friends. ‘He r‘)”:io ascends the mountain tops will n The loftiest peaks most wrapt in clouds and sno He who surpasses or subdues mankind Must look down on the hate of those below.” During the last few weeks you have seen one of our public men bear, day after day, such calumniation as few men are called upon to meet. You have seen him assailed with all the vituperation and invective that malice and envy could in- vent. “Who steals my purse steals trash, but he that filches from me my good name robs me of that which not enriches him and makes me poor indeed.” Whether the charges are true or not, they are evidently made at this time to fire’ your hearts with anger and to preju- dice your minds against him. If true, our blic official courts a farce and our ecivilization a sham and a delusion. Instead of walking our streets, the wretch should have the lash | were public frauds, our |State of California.

California needs such men In the national councils to protect and foster her grow- ing industries and to give Ter that stand- ing before the world merited by her im- ortance as a State. Nothing shall drive rom the belief that we are laying the foundations of a grander civilization than any of which “our forefathers ever dreamed. And we need the hand of a master builder to lay them broad and deep. The past is secure. Its record is ma. The future is our keeping, and its responsibilities rest upon us. Under our form of representative government it is cur duty to place them_ upon the shoulders of our broad-minded, consci- entious, aggressive men of experience, and by doing so we faithfully discharge the obligations we owe to our State, to our nation and to the sacred cause of liberty and clvilization. Members of the Assembly, T place before you the man who for many years has been unanimously recognized as the leader of the great Republican party in this State, and who as such is its logical candidate, eminently fitted to represent it in our national congress. I nominate for the distinguished office of United States Senator Daniel M. Burns. e PIERCE SECONDS BURNS. In seconding the nomination of Col- onel Burns, G. W. Plerce of Yolo spoke as follows: Mr. Speaker and Members of the Assem- bly: T desire to second the nomination of the man who has contributed more dur- ing the past ten years to the success of the Republican party than has any other individua! in the State of California, I desire to second the nomination of a man for this position who, by common conse nt, has been acknowledged the leader of the Republican party of this State. I desire to second the nomination of a man whose authority among men is unquestioned. 1 desire to second the nomination of a man Wwhose influence has been sought and felt in both State and national affairs. I de- sire to second the nomination of a man whose ability is beyond question, and a man who will do us honor as a Senator from this State should he be exalted to the high position to which he now aspires. I refer to the Hon. D. M. Burns, Applause.) Since he has been spoken of in this connection the press of our State has seen fit to indulge in a tirade upon him which is at once undignified, unloyal and un- American, and the people of Yolo County desire to express their condemnation of the course of the Republican press of this State. I do not, my friends. have to take my introduction to Hon. D.M. Burns from the Republican press of the State of Cali- fornfa. I have known him since he first came to the State of California a poor, bare-footed orphan boy, and years ago in school together I knew him well, and I have known him and his career all along from that time to the present day. It was my good fortune and privilege during the time of the Civil War to belong to a little band of Republican boys in the town of Woodland, and that Republican band chose for its leader then the man who has ever since been a leader in every walk of life in which he has taken his stand, and that leader was D. M. Burns. (Ap- plause.) And I come to say to you to-day that we of Yolo repudiate the charges that are made against him. Yolo has no better friend in the State of California that Hon. D. M. Burns. He has met with reverses and during his time of need peo- ple of Yolo County, irrespective of party came to his support, and years later, when fortune had smiled upon him, he returns to Yolo, and let me tell you, my friends, that you may thoroughly under- stand, he went throughout that county and hunted up those who had helped him, and in many cases all evidence of obliga- tion had passed away—his debts were out- lawed—but he came there, and there is not a man or woman to-day who can say that he has not redeemed every obligation he made. I can tell you, my friends, he came there and sought those who had assisted him. He pald them Interest— compound interest—where they had thrown the notes away and thought them worthless. No man can do this and be a dishonest man. And we resent the charge that he has ever owed the county of Yolo anything that he has not repald. He trusted to an employe and from that con- fidence he suffered, but lilke a man _he made good every dollar of the loss. We believe that Dan Burns possesses the ability to serve us well in Congress. We know that he has served us well here as a party, and if you would take from the work of the Republican party during the last ten years the efforts of Dan Burns our serfes of successes would be materi- ally diminished. In Yolo the word of Mr. Burns is as good as his bond. His bond adds nothing to it. And in every walk of life Mr. Burns has been a true friend of the people, an honest man, and I believe the State of California can do no better than to honor him with the position to which he now aspires. We are told that he i= not an orator. True, but place Mr. Burns in any committee, selected where you may, and when the report of that committee is made up it will bear the impress of the work of Mr. Burns. (Ap- plause.) B WORKS NOMINATES GRANT. TU. 8. Grant Jr. was placed in nomi- nation by Lewis R. Works of San Di- ego. He said: Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the As- sembly: We are met together to-day to discharge the most sacred trust imposed S -1 on us by the people of this great State of Callfornia. It is al- ways a matter for serious consideration that to the handful of men who compose the Legislature of the State should be dele- gated the power of acting for the people of the State in the election of United States Senator. And, realizing that fact, we, as members of the California Assembly, must look about us in the selection of the man for this fmportant office with the circumspection due and arising from the importance of the present situation. California has ever glnce its acquisition from Mexico and its admission into the Uni been the West- ern boundary of the United States, with the exception of Alaska. The iortunes of war have brought it to the center of the public domain. The acquisition of the Hawallan Islands and the acquisition of the Philippines has made California the center of the American nation, and a por- tion of the nation which is destined here- after to be the center of its empire. Born of this fact, there will arise in the Senate of the United States, to which we how propose to elect a member, business of the utmost importance affecting the ould, therefore, send to the Senate to discharge that busi. ness In the interest of the State a man of probity, a man of honor and a man of The State of California de- U S Grant.

Who is this man? This history of his life is the common story of a plucky American boy. He possésses by inher- itance the sturdy qualities of the hardy Highland Scotch from which he descend- ed. ~His birthplace was the Sunny South, and his versatile mind is charac- teristic of her brilllant men. For fifty years, from orphaned boyhood to vigorous manhood. he has lived in this Golden State, imbibing its atmosphere of lib- erty and cherishing its name and peonie. In this fertile valley he tilled the sofl, stored his mind with useful knowledge, and acquired those habits of attention and industry which form the basis of his character. When the tocsin of war was sounded throughout the land he shouldered his musket and hastened to his country’s call, And when a million men laid down their arms he returned to the land of his adoption and resumed the peaceful pur- sults of ordinary life. Although an educated lawyer and a skilled debater, it was in the active busi- ness world, the world of men rather than books, that his versatile talents showed their_powers. All the great industries of the State have received his studious at- tention, and a moderate fortune is the reward of his perseverance and industry. Strong, upright and generous, he has | drawn to himself hosts of friends whom he holds as with hooks of steel. Active in the exercise of his political rights, his motto has always been “keep near to the people.” Keen, alert, courageous, he has 7 anity for- | nscious of his own integrity and | But I cannot believe them to | Senate of the United States, in order that her interests may be protected, in order that all the questions arising from the ac- R A R L 2 Following is the record of the le vote for Senator: THE VOTE IN Bulla—Currier, Simpson—2.

He said: R:!dr% Speaker and Members of the As- sembly: 1 was not aware until this mu{n- ing that I was to second the nomination of ‘any of the sspirants for the Unite States Senatorship, and I would not h‘l;\? done so-then unlesh I knew full well tha it would be in obedience to the demands of constituents in Santa }%}!

But in obedience to the request and my own conviction I rise at this time to sec- ond the nomination of that gallant gentle- man from Southern California, U. S. Grant Jr. T believe that the* Senatorial contest should be conducted on gentle- manly lines, and that as a result of these contests the permanent organization of any house should not be interfered with. T believe Mr. Grant is the logical can aidate of the Republican party of Cali- fornia, He is supported by a vast major- ity of the Republican press. And I dis- ree with the gentleman from San Fran- nd the gentleman from Yolo wher ay that the wants of the publio press should not be listened to. I belleve that the public press of California voices the sentiment of the people of this o, and I am satisfied if the name of Mr. Grant were submitted to the people of this State he would receive an election to this office by a handsome majority over :;m Mr. above any other candidate named. Grant has all the qualifications requisite He is honest, true and e. he e. A ‘;YZ l1’< a student of statecraft, and first, last and all the time is possessed of that courage and that true faithfulness that his illustrious father possessed, and has a stern iron will and knows when to say no and mean it, and knows when to say yes and mean it. Therefore, members of the Assembly of California, on behalf of my own convictions and the Republicans of Santa Cruz County, I take great pleasure in seconding the nomination of Mr. Grant of San Diego. (Applause.) v i LARDNER PRESENTS BARNES Assemblyman W. B. Lardner of Pla- cer County placed General W. H. L. PBarnes in nomination. He spoke as fol- lows: Mr. Speaker and Members of the As- sembly: We stand to-day facing the second century of our country's existence. For the last hundred vears all has been trial, experimenting and putting into working order the grand ‘principles laid down for us in the supreme guide of our political existence—the constitution of the nited States. In that instrument it is provided that the members of the Legis- latures (as we are now about to do) shall vote for a United States Senator. Our fathers buflded better than they knew. The principle is right. The sovereignty of a State should be expressed through the members of its Legislature in select- ing a United States Senator. For over a hundred years the Legislatures of the sovereign States have honored them- selves, their States and nation by elect- ing the most eminent men in the republic STATESMAN AND SOLDIER . o~ ASSEMBLYMAN COBB NOMINATES D./ADURNS AND PORTRAYS HIM A3 ALAWYER, / now name, without dlu.1 bly for the position of | to that position. For half a century California has sent forth good and able | Senators. But, Mr. Speaker and members | of the Assembly, do you note that in the press and legislative bodies of the State and among the electors of this State and the nation there is an agitation to take away from us the proud privilege we arc now about to exercise? Already the rumblings of discontent may be heard in the valleys and mountains of this State | and throughout the republic. Therefore, we should heed the warning and act for the very best interests of this great State and its people. To the members of the minority T am proud to admit that in Hon. | Stephen M. White California has had one of her ablest and most representative citizens in the Senate of the United | States. To the members of the majority T say, can we select his equal? And shall | we try to elect his superior? I say we | can and will. Mr. Speaker and members of the Assembly. I desire to place in | nomination for the office of United States | Senator one who has been known throughout this great State for thirty-six years; and while I name him I do not in any sense detract from any other aspirant for that high and honorable position. I do not believe, and the gentleman I shall name would not permit, that he should ride into position over the shat- tered reputations of any of his opponents by any act or word of his or mine. The gentleman 1 shafl name stands a fricnd among friends in this great contest. He was born at West Point, N. Y., in 1837, | States army at that time. He graduated at the age of 18 from Yale and was ad- mitted to the bar of the State of New | York at the age of 21. He was a soldier in the Union army during the rebellion PIERCE OF YOLO TAKES A CONTRACT — ME VOUCMES FOR BURNS’ MONESTY. and is a veteran of the Grand Army of the Republic and of the Army and Navy League of California. And that army and navy league, representing 700 members | and” voters, Tespectfully ask for recogni- | tion at this time. And let me say right | here, Mr. Speaker and members of the Assembly, that this is the last rolicall for the veterans of the war for the Union, for already the veterans of the new and re- cent war are crowding to the front. Only | last week Theodore Roosevelt, one of the | Brandest of the new veterans, was inau- | gurated Governor of the great State of. | New York; but let us not forget that the | veterans who saved this nation are more | deserving of honor than those who ex- | panded and enlarged it. : T(h_e]_(;_and]lda’(e for whom o California In 1363 and continu | reside here, taking an active part in T ';’, | political campaign, gubernatorial a- | tional, since that date.

He electrified the people, arousing not only the old Republican patriotism, but also the new, wider and grander hopes of this branch of the Anglo-Saxon race that is to | control the world. Old Placer County, always true to the | Republican party, is unanimous for his | election. T have heard of test votes taken | by the electors in other parts of the State, where he has outnumbered all his com- petitors combined; and I believe that if a popular vote could be taken at this hour throughout the whole State the gentle- man I name would have an overwhelming majority. He has solicited no votes during this { canvass. Those who support him havo voluntarily come forward in_his behalf. He is by education, study and experience fitted for this ?reat rnsl(lon, and he is in the full vigor of physical and mental man- hood. No man knows better than he the relations of this State to the general Gov- ernment, its necessities and legitimate claims. His views on all national ques- tions are well known, and are in harmony with Republican sentiment in Californfa and In entire harmony with the policy of the administration. He is a loyal follower of the President. and if elected would possess the President’s confidence and the respect of the Senate of the United States and would win a national, as he has won a local, reputation. Mr. BSpeaker and members of the Assembly, I have the dis- tinguished honor to be permitted to place his election | in nomination for the exalted position of nited States Senator that genin.l gentle- man, brave and gallant soldier, talented lawyer, peerless orator and pre-eminent the State of California. e . —— SECONDED BY CLOUGH. In seconding Barnes' nomination As- semblyman G. G. Clough said: I really did not know that there were so many gods in the State of California, many eminent men who are capable and even more than capable of flllilx% this office in the United States Senate. There is one man, however, who is capable, who rises supreme, whose eloquence has been W eard In our party councils and it is ‘my pleasure to second his nomina- tion. I was born down in New England, Mr. Speaker and fellow members, eloquence was not born with me, but I nevertheless stand here before you now to second the nomination of the eloquent and able gentleman, General W. H. L. Barnes, to the United States Senate. AL VALENTINE NAMES BULLA. R. N. Bulla was placed in nomination by L. H. Valentine of Los Angeles.

A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Effectual Cure for It. | Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloat- ing sensation after eating, accompanied somstimes with sour or watery risings, a formation of gases, causing pressure | on the heart and lungs and difficult | breathing; headaches, fickle appetite, nervousness and a general played out, languid feeling. | There is often a foul taste In the | mouth, coated tongue and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed condition. The cure for this common and ob- | stinate trouble is found in a treatment | which causes the food to be readily, | thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mu- cous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do and when | normal digestion is secured the ca- tarrhal condition will have disappeared. According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a patent medicine can be ]used with perfect s_alely and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough di- gestion will follow their regular use after meals. Mr. N. J. Booher of 2710 Dearborn street, Chicago, Ill., writes: “Catarrh | is a local condition resuiting from a | neglected cold in the head, whereby the | lining membrane of the nose becomes | inflamed and the poisonous discharge therefrom passing backward throat reaches the stomach, thus pro- ducing catarrh of the stomach, Medical authorities prescribed for me for three years for catarrh of stomach without cure, but to-day I am the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart’'s Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot nd appropriate words to express my good feeling. 1 have found flesh, ap- petite and sound rest from their use. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest preparation as well as the sim- plest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach, biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating after meals.
