Anntuncement of names of State Central Com- mittee chosen by the several delegates from As- sembly districts and counties E. C. HART, Chafrman. Irnovation Goes Through. T. V. Eddy of Ban Francisco moved the adoption of the report. E. F. Preston calied attention to an innovation in the report. He objected to that section which | provides for the appointment of a State | executive committee by the chairman of | the convention. He moved that it be for it a clause providing that the State Central Committee shall elect its own ex- ecutive committee. Dibble replied that the clause was not -an innovation, but was copied from the report of two years ago. | slipped in at the last convention, but 11 was not in keeping with the customs of the good old times when the State Central Committee of this State elected its own executive committee. A motion to amend the report was de- feated. A motion to adopt prevailed. In presenting the report of the commit- | tee on platform and resolutions Judge McKinley of Los Angeles sald that the committee took into consideration that another convention would be held for the purpose of nominating electors, hence an elaborate declaration of principies was not embodied in the report. The report was adopted in a perfunctory fashion. Hubbell Nominates Grant. The chair announced that the next or- der of business was the election of four delegates at large. O. C. Hubbell of Santa Barbara stepped to the platform and placed in nomination U. 8. Grant Jr. Mr. Hubbell spoke as follows: | Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Conven- | tion: The Republican party stands to-day as . | the conservator of the peace of the world. Had it listened to the stupid demands of Democ- racy it would have withdrawn the American | flag * from the Philippine Archipelago and painted the horizon's rim red with the flames of a world-wide war over 1ts possession. The Republican party believes in honest money. It has placed upon the statute books of the na- | tion a standard of value recognized by the world s the safest and best. In 159, with a patriotism and a devotion never excelled, ft opposed the current of fimancial idiocy and saved this countrs from the perils of a free silver coinage. When free institutions were at- tacked by the Chicago platform, Republicans sprang to the support of homest government {and the maintenance of financial and busl- nees honesty. (Applause.) By their brilliant example they brought hundreds and thou- | #ands of patriotic citizens to support them i in that campalgn.

Will we convert the Pacific Ocean for American enterprises, or will the Anglo-Saxon race find in its first decadence? Will we cowardly shrink from the duties of manifest destiny and cower at the cry of imperialism. or will we baptize ourselves anew in the spirit of our fathers and fearlessly discharge the duties of a (Applause.) My friends, the Philadelphia convention must answer these questions, and it must answer them right; and to that end we must send as delegates to that convention men inspired by patriotism and upheld by the idole of the repub- lic—men of business: men of judgment; men of training in the duties of eitizenship. We must send to that convention men whose election will not honor, but whose presence in the convention | will be an honor to the Républican party. (Ap- plause.) Gentlemen of the convention, we bring to you from Soutkern California such a man—a man high {n character, trained in the law, en- ergetic in his sense of civic duty, and a man with a heart as warm as the genial climate In which he lives. (Applause.) A man interested in the growth and prosperity of Southern Call- fornja and more patriotically devoted 1o the whole interests of the imperial commenwealth; a man whoee character is as high and whose mind is as clear as the unclonded sky of our sunny scuthland, and. lastly, a man who is patriotically, unfalteringly devoted to the re- nomination of Wililam McKinley for President of the United States. (Continued applause.) Gentlemen, 1 have the distinguished pleasure of nominating for one of the delegates at large from the State of California to the National Republican Convention the Hon. U. §. Grant Jr. of San Diezo. U. 8. Grant's nomination was seconded by Judge McKlnley of Los Angeles, E. V. Spencer of Lassen, Senator Gillette and C. R. Stewart of San Diego. Knight’s Name Presented. George A. Knight was placed in the field by Judge McKinley of Los Angeles, who addressed the convention as follows: Gentlemen of the Convention: The Republi- can party always goes forward and never back- moet next movements of foreign and domestic policy in this country. As Garfield once expressed it: quently the Democratic party has followed. 1 bring you to-night the name of a man who needs no eulogy from me. bscause his own the length and breadth of this State has made him a home in the hearts of its people. In 1884, when the State of California looked forward enthuslastically to the nomination of that brilliant and peer- less leader, James G. Blaine (applause), it eent to that convention among its delegates a young man whose name I am to present to you to-night. On other occasions, the last at Et. Louis four years ago, when the delegates to the Republican party gathered to nominate a candidate for President—the same man was among the number and took part in the nom- ination of the great statesman whose admin- lstration of the affairs of this Government is such that the Republican party goes into this result. 1 present to you the name of a man whom, as 1 have said, we all love and admire. I bring to you the name of George A. Knight. (Ap- plause.) Mr. Knight's nomination was seconded by C. W. Kyle of San Francisco. Pardee Named by Young. Dr. George C. Pardee’s name was pre- sented to the convention by J. N. Young of Alameda, who sald: Mr. President and gentlemen of the conven- tio: It becomes my pleasant duty to bring be- foré you a reprosentative of the banner Repub- lican_county of the State of Callfornia. (Ap- plause.) He ie well known to every Republican throughout the State. He was bomn in the State of Celifornia, and his interests are-involved in the welfare of his native State. His name is Dr. George C, Pardee, (Applause.) He is the unanimous clhoice of every man in Alamncda County and in the Third Congressional District. 1 believe to-day he is the choice of every man wito has_at heart the best interests of Califor- nia. He has unquestioned ability and integrity, and no man will attend that national conven- tion who will discharge the duty of that high office more creditably than will Dr. Pardee. (Applause.) T. V. Eddy of San Francisco made a speech of considerable length in which he pald a tribute to the sterling worth of Dr. Pardee. v Knowland Nominates Spreckels. John D. Spreckels of San Francisco was placed in nomination by Joseph R, Know- land of Alameda. Mr. Knowland said: Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the conven- tlon: We are assembled here to-night, repre- senting the grand Republican party of Califor- nla, charged with the fmportant duty of doing our small part toward setting in motion the wheels of the Republican National Convention. There !s not within the broad domain of these United States a single citizen who does not realize the importance of the jssues Involved, and | | O+ 0404000000600+ 9 R e + £ + & . N.D. ?

DO+ 040004000600+ @ especially do we, the people of California, for ® * 5 1 ES -+ ® + the issues are the most vital to this great State. | California should indorse, and indorse over- whelmingly, the administration of Willlam Mc- Kinley, an administration which has revolution- ized commercially these Pacific States. It Is one of the mcst essential things for success that we have In the ranks of our party har- noay. We need the urgent, we need the most earnest, support of every Republican; we need the earnest support of every faction. As a Californian, as one who has the inter- este of this great State at heart, I wish to place in nomination for the honored position of delegate-at-large to the national conven- tion, the name of a Californian, one who has tmplicit falth in the future of this great State, @ man who has that great faith in the future _of California that causes him to put his wealth into the development of this great State. We need in Callfornia more men like John D. Spreckels (applause and cheers)—men who have implicit faith in the future of their State and men who are willing to show their faith by Investing their money and developing this great commonwealth. The Republicanism of Mr. Spreckels cannot be questionzd. When the Republican party has been fn need of assistance, when the Repub- lican party has been in need of financial aid, then the Republicanism of John D. Spreckels was not questioned. When the Republicans of this great State desired ald in carrying to a successful iseue the different campaigns through which we have passed, those in con- trol of the affairs of the party have not hesi- tated to receive from Mr. Spreckels his finan- clal ajd. I would not detract one fota from what has been said relstive to the merits of the various candidates who have been presented to this convention, but 1 will say that Mr. Spreckels is equal in loyalty to the party, In loyalty to the State, to any who have been mentioned. And for the sake of harmony and because I believe it is the smallest honor we can bestow upon a man who has done so much for this great State, and hecause I belleve he is fit, that he is an able representative, and that he will earry to Philadelphia the message of Call- fornia and as weil will represent this common- wealth as any of tjose who have aiready been mentioned—for these reasons I present to this conventfon the name of Hon. John D. Spreck- els of San Francisco. (Applanse.) Preston Talks Plainly. E. F. Preston of S8an Francisco second- ed the nomination of Mr. Spreckels. Mr. Preston spoke as follows: Mr. Chalrman and gentlemen of the Re- ublican Convention; Four years ago the ational Convention of Rspui)ucsns met'in this city for deliberation. Since that time it has blazoned the broad road of history &nd planted its honors in letters of ever- f’lov\nng light upon the temples of fame. t carried the American flag up the blood swept hill at El Caney; it swept the S‘fm ish fleet at Manila.” It has carried us lhrou?h one of the most dangerous and one of the most critical periods in Ameri- can history. It is easy convention which tear United States to dispose questions, agree with upon him. to stand before a and dispose ‘of the Senate asunder; it is easy of great momentous and because a man does not You cast the taint of disloyalty It is easy to talk, but it is hard to act. The Republican party acts; the Democratic party criticizes. What is the condition here to-day? There is no Ref)ubllcan who does not love Willlam McKinley and his reputation. (Ag{)luuse and cheers.) There is no Re- publican who is not proud of the adminis- tration which for the first time blotted out Mason and Dixon's line and let a united American army under the Blue and Gray climb that hiil to glory and dle like Americans. (Applause.) And who are these men who arise and criticize and carp and cavil? 1 have heard to-day upon the floor of this convention remarks upon the loyalty, upon the Republicanism of the gentleman whose name I rise to sec- ond. 1 am his personal friend, and I am anud of it. And I am a Republican ana e is a Republican, and the man who has circulated these stories about his loyalty 1 defy to repeat them to his face. 1 like a highwayman who con‘w- to my face and takes some element o rsonal danger when he meets me in my front. [ can even respect a burly ruffian who meets me face to face and brains me with his cudgel if it takes nerve to strengthen Liscarm: but 1 despise the shivering, cow- ardly assassin who sneaks up with noise- less foot behind and places his poniard in {our weisand without any element of risk 0 himself.

Walter F. Price of Sonoma was chosen chairman. When nominations for delegates were called ! for, ex-Assemblyman J. T. Matlock, | Tehama County’s favorite orator, arose and placed in the field Douglas S. Cone of Red Biuff. The orator pre-| dicted a_great victory for the Republican | party in the election next November. He | reviewed the hard times, business adver- sities and general depression which over- | shadowed the country under Democratic | rule. He described how business revived | and happiness returned under the admin- | istratlon of President McKinley. When, it came time to something for Doug- | las Cone, the orator spoke of him as a | stalwart champion, who contributed free- 1y of his means {o maintain the party or- ganization. These donations from the | Cone bank account were regarded by | Captain Matleck as ofl to lubricate the party machinery. The speech was char- acteristic and won prolonged applause, Senator Gillette of Humboldt placed in nomination John L. Childs of Del Nofte. He sald Mr. Childs was an active and ef- fective -worker. By his sincere devotion to the cause of Republicanism he had changed the political complexion of Del Norte and placed the county in the Re- publican column. On motion the ballot of the convention was cast for Douglas 8. Cone and John L. Childs. J. E. Roberts of Mendociio was chosen as Mr. Cone's alternate. J. II Steves of Napa County was elected alter- nate for Mr. Childs. LS e SECOND DISTRICT. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, May 15.—Ex-Judge Walling of Nevada County was elected tempora; chairman of the Second Congressional District Convention at the initial session of that body this forenoon. The meet- ing was called to order by Attorney Ar- thur Levinsky of Stockton, who is chair- man of the district committee. At the outset Mr. Levinsky stated that he had been informed by delegates from Inyo, Mono, Tuolumne, Amador and San Joa- quin countles that they had delegates en route to the convention, and advised that a recess be taken until 4 o'clock or until after the convention had adjourned. H. E. Barber of San Joaquin took the cue and secured the floor. He said that his county was entitled to fifteen dele- gates; that they were not all present, but had agreed to attend the delib- erations of the convention. He therefore moved that a recess be taken untl 4 o'clock. Grove L. Johnson, always on the alert to make a parliamentary point, started to say that he did not agree with Bar- ber, and stated his reasons for his view of tge situation, but was sharply called down by the chairman, who invited him to wait until the motion was properly put. Johnson gracefully subsided for the nonce, but was soon on his féet in oppo- sition to the motion. He contended that it was the duty of the district convention to. effect temporary organization and elect a chalrman and secretarles. Further debate followed, but the motion was lost. Again Grove L. secured the floor, and placed J. M. Walling of Nevada in nomi- nation for chairman. His election was made by acclamation. Judge Walling was formally introduced to the convention by Mr. Levinsky as “the old Republican war- horse” of Nevada County. Chairman Walling took good-natured exception to the statement that he was old, and felt sure that no one who saw him would ac- cept such a statement. H. E. Barber of San Joaquin and Frank Smith were named as temporary secre- tarfes. Thelr election was by acclamation. After Assemblyman Johnson and Senator Cutter of Yuba failed to prolong the in- itial session Levinsky's motion to adjourn until the afternoon prevailed. Upon reconvening in the afternoon the Second Congressional District Convention took up the work prescribed for it. Judge Walling was made permanent chairman and Secretaries Barber and Smith perma- nent secretaries. Nominations for dele- gates to the convention being in order, Grove L. Johnson bobbed up serenely and named E. C. Hart of Sacramento. Arthur Levinsky was placed in nomination. Tut- tle of Placer dwelt on the splendid ser- vices rendered the party by Harold Power of Placer and told of his fitness for the office. Judge Niles followed and placed John F. Kidder of Grass Valley in nomination. A ballot resulted in the elec- tion of Hart and Power. As a balm to their disappointment Levinsky and Kidder were offered the posts of alternates, but both gracefully refused. Thomas Voorhies of Amador and J. W. Wilson of Sacramento were then elected alternates. —_—— THIRD DISTRICT. Special Dispateh to Tha Call.
