Garoutte. He to-day is about 46 or 48 years of age, and if he is nominated and elected he will give twelve of the best vears of his life to the people of the State of California. The laymen I do mot think, as a rule, have a true conception of the duties of the Chief Justice.

I practiced before him for six years and he fined me once every year, (laughter), and for that reason I know exactly that he knew what he was about. (Laughter.)

Now, gentlemen of the convention, Yolo is famous for many things; It is famous for its wheat: it is famous for its beautiful ladles; it is famous for its statesmen—I am one of them. (Laughter.) We have produced Dan Burns; we have produced Dick Beamer: we have pro- duced the man whom I have been describing, and we are proud of him, and I hope that while C.

AssoctaTe TUSTICE— SOPREMTE ITcouRAT . 2 T8 e e 3~ SoNeRESS < Governor in a Speech Pledges His Support to Ticket. e ALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Aug. 27.—The announce- ment that Governor Gage was to address the‘convention attracted a crowd that filled every available inch of space in the hall this even- ing. It was currently reported that the Governor would take advantage of the occasion to make it warm for his po- litical enemies, but this proved to be baseless. Gage's address was a model in its way. He thanked his friends in the convention for their support in the contest just closed, indorsed the nominees as far as made, promised the Republican ticket his loyal support and urged his hearers to close the ranks and rush the party to victory in November. - After the call to order at 8 p. m., the Alameda delegation, carrying flags and headed by a band, marched into the hall. A moment later Gage appeared on the platform and was given a rousing recep- tion. His address follows: Mr. Chairman, ladles and gentlemen: I thank you for the friendly greeting that you have just extended, not to me personally, but to the great Republican party of this Stafe, of which at this moment I happen to be the leader. 1 desire, further, to express to the entire convention my everlasting gratitude for the indorsement which you gave the administration yesterday; and to my friends, to the delegates of this convention Who have o loyally support- ed me throughout this combat, I express un- dying love. (Applause.) I am for the ticket which you have nom- inated. It shall have my ardent and enthu- siastic support, and as loyally given as its nominees accorded to me in the great campaign of 1898. (Applause.) ‘We can go to the people of this State claim- itg and demanding victory upon the record of the Republican administration. You have had an absolutely fearless and absolutely honest government. You, in 1898, by your platform, promised the people of this State economy, and to-day you present to the people the low- est tax rate ever known in the history of the great State of California, which we all adore, nectwithstanding the fact that every church within the State has been fraed from taxation under this administration. 1t is unnccessary for me to undertake in the brief space allotted to me to &Ko into detall to show you the grand acts of your Republican officers during the last few years, since they Were Inducted into official places in 1899. It is sufficlent for me to say gemerally that all of the State concerns’' of California are in fine condition, and that the affairs of this State are belng homestly and well managed. (Ap- plause) « I fuily realize, ladies and gentlemen, after this prolonged session you do not care fo hear from me or from anybody else an elaborate speech, but I may round it up in this way: All of us Republicans are for this ticket. Mr. Chairman and fellow Republicans, let us close up our ranks and prepare for the con- test before us to perpetuate t! grand policy which has been committed to this party—to the Republican party of the nation, to the Re- publican party of this State—by that martyred President, Willilam McKinley, sustained by that brave, fearless, noble, honest President, Theo- dore Roosevelt, (Applause.) Theodore Roose- velt, the enemy, I say, of unlawful capitalistic combinations, and ome of the champions of honest toil. (Applause.) 1 thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I thank you, ladies and gentlemen, NOMINATIONS PROCEED. Colgan and Reeves Are Selected to Succeed Themselves. ‘When Gage concluded his address, Chairman Neff announced that the con- vention was unable to complete its work before to-morrow, owing to the fact that several of the district conventions were unable to report to the convention be- fore that time, as was required by law. A motion to take a recess was made, but a suggestion was offered to nominate a Controller and Treasurer before a recess were taken. This met general approval and the work of completing the party ticket was resumed. Judge Gregg of San Bernardino nomi- nated E. P. Colgan, incumbent, for the office of State Controller. There was no opposition and Colgan was chosen by ac- n. clé‘}‘l‘:l‘x!;mn Jacob Neff nominated Tru- man Reeves, incumbent, for the office of State Treasurer.

Senator Lukens of Alameda introduced a resolution providing that where a dis- trict convention failed to report its action to the convention before urnment it should report at an early date to the State Central Committee, so that suca nominations as may have been made could be included in the certificate of nomination by the convention.
