We are not here o promote the interests of a faction, not to gratify the personal aspirations and ambi- tions of any man, no matter how prominent or how influential he may be. (Applause). We are here to lay stress upon and declare our loy- alty to all that advances the rank, dignity and in the shop, in the fac- tory, in the fleld, upon the team, upon the rail- road and everywhere. (Applause) We are here to prociaim our alleglance to all that ennobles human character, to testify our loyalty to all that strengthens, protects and defends the truest honor, glory and welfare of our great State. When capital unites its forces to override and trample upon the rights of others, to defy the law, to lay the fron hand of tribute and exaction upon the champions of honest tofl as it has been doing in Pennsyl- vania and in other States of the Union, the Democracy throws down the gauntlet of de- flance and stands ready to grapple with, over- throw it and every other foe which menaces civic liberty and which would abridge the con- stitutional rights in their widest sense of every man, no matter how lowly his lot or how humble his birth may be. (Applause.) When a Republican Legislature engages in a fight for a seat in the most august, dignified and impressive deliberative body on earth, compared with which a dog fight in the gutter is dignified, when its sessions are character- ized by a saturnalia of extravagance and wasteful expenditure of public money, the Democratic party rebukes such proceedure, and when it submits to the people a constitutional amendment which delivers the people to the allied corporations, which places in the hands of the Governor and five persons unlimited and absolute power, and which will allow them to control every business interest of the State, the Democratic party says that it will stifie the unhallowed measure at the polls. (Ap- plause.) The Democratic party has always sympa- thized with those Who wished to widen the who seek just and afequate compensation for their existence and for the comfort and happiness of their loved ones at the hearthstone. 1If, In the ensuing campaign every Democrat does his entire duty, the morning after election there will be heard among the faithful, not the croak of the ra- ven, but the shrill and deflant cry of the bird of the aerie on the crag. (Cheers.) And when | the sunshine gilds each mountain peak and illuminates each valley in California, it will enthuse and cheer thoge who are devoted to the great Governmental truths which upbuild a na- tion and uplift the human race. WELCOME TO THE CITY. Mayor Clark Absent, but Judge Hinckson Delivers Address. At the close of his address Chairman Sims introduced Judge Hinckson of Sac- ramento, who delivered the address of wel- come in behalf of Mayor Clark, who was unable to be present. Judge Hinckson said: Gentlemen of the convention, I regret to say that, unfortunately, our worthy and distin- guished Mayor is not able to be present at this hour, as it would have been his pleasure, to extend to you the welcome of our people to cur city. Unfortunately for, us, our worthy Mayor is an undertaker. He is now engaged in performing a funeral service, and one of my most enthusiastic Democratic friends has [ oo MANY FACULTY CHANGES AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY Professor Ephraim D. Adams, Late of Kansas, Will Be Professor in History Department. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. 2.— The following announcement of faculty changes in the university has been given out from the president’s office: Professor Ephraim D. Adams, lately of the University of Kansas, will be a pro- fessor in the history department; John E. Blair, from the law school of the Uni- versity of North Dakota, will be a pro- fessor, and George L. Clark, from the University of Indiana, will be an instruct- or in law; Andrew A. Browne, formerly with the Mexican Lead Company of Mon- terey, Mexico, will be professor in me- chanical engineering, acting as superin- tendent in charge of the new shops; New- ton Cleveland, '89, has been appointed in- structor in physiology in the absence of Dr. McFarland, and Halbert W. Chappel, ’¢1, will occupy Dr. Story's place as in- structor at Encina gymnasium during the latter's absence; Instructor George C. Cook will fill the vacancy in the English just suggested to me that he thinks. he is probably now engaged in burying the Repub- lican party. (Laughter.) Gentlemen of the convention, in behalf of our worthy Mayor and on behalf of the peo- ple of this city, 1 extend to you one and all a most cordial reception into our city; I tend to yo1 one and all on behalf of our peo. ple 8 key which opens, and enters the door of the heart of our people. On behalf of the committee of arrangements, of which I have the homor to be chairman, 1 wish to say that our committee has worked faithfully’ and zeal- ously to provide you a hall and to provide for your pleasure and comfort during your stay In our city, and we request of you that it any of you have reason for complaint on account of any treatment that you may re- celve at the hands of any particular citizen you may have the kindness to report the fact to our committee, that we may properly ad- just such matters. We hope, gentlemen, that the treatment of our citizens toward you will be of that character that when you leave this hall to g0 to your homes the unanimous ver- dict will be, ‘‘Sacramento is the place for holding the next Demccratic State Conven- tion.” ~ (Applause.) After the reading of the list of names presented by the local committee of per- sone chosen to act as temporary officers of the convention, Sims announced that nominations for chairman of the conven- tion were in order. James Cochran of Marin County then took the floor and nominated for the office James F. Coonan of Eureka in the following address: Mr. Chairman, Gentlemen of the Convention: The delegates of the county of Humboldt have requested me to ralse my voice in their behalf and present to you for your considemation for the position of temporary chairman of this cn- vention the name of James F. Coonan, one the favorite sons of that county. (Applause). It has been o long since Northern California has recetved recognition at the hands of a Democratic convention that her delegates have come here to-day to ask that her request be recognized and that the gentleman who is to preside over the deliberations of this grand body of representative Californians be chosen from that portion of the Btate. The gentleman upon whom they desire you to confer that honor had the good fortune to' be born in the State of California and was reared to manhood in one of the old California homes, In 1872 he took up his residence in the ¢ity of Eureka, where he still resides with his family. As an evidence of the esteem, respect and confidence in which he is held by his peo- ple, he was twice elected County Clerk of Hum- boldt County, and on each occasion he over- came a Republican majority of 800. For yéars he has been the leader of his party in his coun- | ty and he has at all times and on all occasions sacrificed his private and personal interest for his party. In the politieal storms that have swept over his section of the State he has stood in the fleld of contest among the leaders of De- mocracy, ltke Saul among the Israelites, head and shoulders above them all. In 1892 he so ably conducted the campalgn of the Hor. Thomas J. Geary in Humboldt County for Con- gress (applause) that a Republican majority was changed trom 800 to a Democratic majority o . In 1804, when the Hon. James H. Budd was a candidate for the Governorship of this State, he again conducted the campaign of the Démocratic party in his county with the result that the usual 800 Republican majority was redus to 400, and again in 1898, when the Hon. James G. Maguire aspired for the Gov- ernorship of this good State, this same man conducted the Democratic campaign in his county with marked success and with gratify- ing results. For ten consecutive yests he has been an actlve member of the Democratic State Central Committee from his county. (e has during all this time asked for nothing and received nothing at the hands of a Democratic State convention. Shculd party recognition be bestowed as a reward for fealty and seérvice to party, then no man is entitied to this reward more than he. If honesty of purpose is entitled to anything, then in no hands could be placed with greater security, this, one of the greatest gifts in the power of this convention. If you ask me whence he comes, I say to you he O e 0 1 1 department caused by the resignation of Miss E. Pearson; Edwin B. Copeland, who has recently been studying at Chi- cago, has been appointed instructor ‘ii bionomies; Professor S8imon J. McLean o the University of Arka will be the head of the departmen economies; Anthony H. Buzzallo, '8, has been ap- ffllmm an assistant in education, and nstructors Stella Rose and Florence Bol- ton will have charge of the Roble gym+ nosium in the place of Miss March, re- signed; Albert C. Whitaker, who has re- cently been studying at Columbla and in Europe, will be instructor in economics, and George Noyes of Boston and Mrs. C. L. Starks, artist of the Hopkins labora- tory, will be instructors in drawing. The following faculty members will be absent from the university on leave dur- ing part or all of the ensuing year: Mel- ville B. Anderson, professor of Englis! Alvin J. Cox, Henry R. Fairclough, professor of Lati; Frank M. McFarland, professor of phys- fology, John F. Newsom, professor of geology and mining, and Thomas A.

Karl G. Rendtorff, German; A. W. Smith, comes from the farm, the workshop, the mill, the mine—from the hearts and the homes of the people. He needs no spesch to introduce him to this convention, he needs no encomium to commend him to you, and I therefore say to you, gentlemen, it you honor him you will honor yourselves; if you elect fi"" e “will re- flect credit upon your party. He knows of no sectionalism in Democracy, and he will there- fore preside over the deliberations of this convention with justice and fairness to all. I therefore say to you that it is a fit tiroe that a representative body of Democrats in this Btate should recognize abillty, worth and fealty to party and elect James F. Coonan of Hum- boldt temporary chairman of this convention, 1 leave it to your deliberate consideration. I nominate for this high and exalted position the able lawyer, the stajwart Demoorat, James F. Coonan of the county of Humboldt. DECLINATION OF COONAN. Humboldt Man Prefers to Abide by Choice of Leaders. ‘When Cochran concluded Coonan gained the recognition of the chairman and amid & burst of applause he took the platform to decline the honor which Cochran ask- ed should be paid him. Coonan sald: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Demo- cratic Btate Convention: It is a pleasure for me to arise at the present time and say to you that any possible inharmoniousness in the open- ing of this éonvention has been avoided by the efforts of the leaders of the contending wings of the party, spective candidates for Governor that at the outset of this campaign there Was a heat en- gendered with reference to the candidacy of mysel? and another honorable gentleman for this position that would mot be productive of Dbeneficial results to the Democratic party of the State of California, and it was suggested to me that as the gentleman who is opposed to me was, as I myself well knew, an honorable gen- tleman, more experfenced in the conduct of the popular assémblages than myself, it would be a graceful thing for me to do to refinquish to him an honor which in my heart I believed I had won, and thus avold all friction in this conven- tion. And I say to you, gentlemen of the State convention, that the two candidates, the two leading candidates rather, Mesers. Geary, having acquiesced in his movement, it having met with the approval of all the leading Democrats to whom It was submitted, i pleasure to me to state to you that I am a Dem- ocrat and bow in deference to the will of the party leaders, and I desire to withdraw my name from nomination and second the nomina- tlon of a gentleman—I will withdraw that, un- fortunately—but, gentlemen of the convention, you all know what I mean. Of course, you will understand that I have three days in what iden strenuous life and I am hardly in a position to make a lengthy speech, but I simply say to you, to repeat what I have sald, that I shall decline the nomination, and when the proper time comes move that it be made unanimous for the other fellow. (Applause). T. E. Gibbon of Los Angeles ascended the platform and placed in nomination for chairman George 8. Patton of San Ga- briel. Gibbon made a flowery speech, but it failed to enthuse the Coonan contin- gent, in whose breasts the sacrifice of their favorite still rankled painfully as a deep seated sore. Gibbon lows: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: When we en- tered this hall this morning, a Democratic friend of mine, who always nas a very keen eye out for signs of dissention and disruption in the ranks of our cpponénts, and for the corresponding promise of Democratic vietory which such sgns give, looked over the floor of this conventicn hall and sald: “I see that the hospitable people of Sactamento have in- creased the many obligations which they have imposed on the members of the convention by covering With a good thick coating of sawdust the gore left on the floor in the scraps which mwechanical engineering; Mary R. Smith, soclology; W. F. Snow, hygiene, and In- structor J. O. Snyder, zoology, have re- turned to the university from absence on leave. Herbert C. Nash, librarian, and Gecrge M. Richardson, xroreuor of or- ganic chemistry, have died during the summer vacation. L e Valuable Timber Burned. PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 2.—Forest fires are raging in the northeastern part of Clark County, Washington, and consider- able damage 1s reported up to this time. Fine tracts of timber are being destroyed and the total loss from the flames wili undoubtedly be heavy before the fall rains quench the fire. Twelve hundred cords of wood, the property of Frank Kubik of Woodlawn, gnva been burned. —_— Large Registration at Stanford. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. 2.—| Registration of the old students began to-day and the figures given out by the registrar to-night show a silght increa: over the number registered at a corres- ponding time last year. The day’s re tration was 364, as agalnst 330 last year. Indications point toward the '06 class as the largest ever enrolled at Stanford. It has been suggested by the re- | t 15 a n e for two or Frosidens Rossevelt atis & spoke as fol- t&:enrrod in the precintts of this hall a few ys * Gentlemen, that suggésted to me what must no Aoubt havé been suggested heretofore to the mifd of every Democrat present here and to the tho other Democrats within the Stats of California; that the scenes of individual ri- vairy, of bitter factional contests in which t vulrlr, of 4nd country were forgottel that ¢ rized the meeting of the repre- sentatives of our old enémy in this hall a few days ago, have given to our party a brighter promise of success than any man two weeks 2g0 could have predicted for it. It anything were needed to emphasize that promise it is the most superb act of self-ab- negation and surrender of individwal ambition to party welfare that ever I have witneéssed, which was performed where I stand, a few mo- ments ago, by the favorite ron of Humboldi County and by the doing of which he raised himself to that stature among the Democrats of this State which marks the elevation of the glant trees of his county in the vegetable world, Gentlemen, as one, and a very humble mem- ber of this convention, when we gathered here, I in common with many others, more repre- sentative of the party and better able to speak for it, and consider Its welfare, than myself, entered ‘upon & campaign designed to securs for this meeting of the representatives of our party that harmony of action from Which springs the promise of future victory Which ‘was 80 conspicuously and lamentably absent in the convocation of the representatives of our opponents hers a short time ago. In the course of those efforts Los Angeles County. and I may say rn California, which will have =0 lttle to ask of the suffrages of this conven- tion, that the nomination of a ¢hairman from there cannot be stigmatized as the result of any clique or any plan or any slate, concelved the idea that if we, having %o little to ask of this convention, could offer to it a candldate for chalrman worthy of its suffrages, that we would in doing so have struck the Keynote to the harmony, the singleness of purpose and the devotion to party weifare which we hope will characterize the deliberations of this body dur- ing its sittings. P pave been ramed by my follow delegates to place before this convention the name of a man which when uttered will contain a history of conflict and effort in the cause of Democracy. A man whose Democratic record Is as pure s the orange flowers that bloom around his house in the San Gabriel Valley, and the shield of whose Democratic honor is as bright a5 the eternal sunshine which gilds the hills and vales of Southern Californta whers he has his home. I name to you as chairman of this convention and the unanimous choice, I be- lieve, of it, e S. Patton of San Gabriel in the Coumm“ Angeles. ELECTION OF PATTON. Southern Californian Wins Applause for His Chairmanship Speech. Robert P. Troy of San Francisco sec- onded Patton's nomination in a brief ad- dress, in which he said that the Democ- racy of California could win in November only by putting the right men in the Tight places. A good beginning might be made by the election of Patton as.chair- man, a sentiment that provoked applause. ‘When Troy had finished, E. E. Leake of Yolo moved that the nomination of Patton be made by acclamation. The mo- tion prevailed, and the chair appointed Messrs. Coonan, Gibbon, Cochrane and Troy as a committee to escort Patton to the platform. When the committee had ormed its office and the gavel was formally turned over to Patton, the con- vanuor!; applauded. Patton then delivered a carefully worded speech which won for him the friendship of his hearers. He spoke as follows: 1 desire to express to you my most heartfelt thanks and deep appreciation. of the honor ‘which you have just conferred on me in calling erations of a body upon which and upon whose wise action so much depends for the future of our party and of our State. In coming into this contest, gentlemen of this conventlon, I de- sire to assure you that I stated the truth and the whole truth, when I declared that I did £0, mot as the representative of any candidate or of any taction, but simply and solely in the interest, as [ beileved it, of such harmonious action here as would pave the way to a Demo- cratic victory in November. Thanking you, I desire to say but a few word in further deten- tion of you. We have reached a period in the political his- tory of the United States when old landmar of political policy are fading into the past, and new issues and new questions are being presented to us. As a resuit of Republican domination we were tcld four years ago by all those in whose wisdom we believed, and whose words carried weight, that as a result of that domination we would behold the enor- mous and widespread growth of those industrial organizations which are known as trusts, and looking upon the history of the last two years, we can say that the most pessimistic of those loomy forebodings have been more than ful- fileq under the sheiter of & protective tariff, unfair in its bearing. These aggregations of capital have mow spread out and grown into such gigantic proportions that they stand to-day a menace to the stability of the Government of the United States itsell. Our Republican oppo- nents in the nation, deaf to the voice of the dead McKinley, deaf to the stremuous warn- ings of his successor, drunk with power, and with greed, turn their backs on every de- mand, even to the extent of denying the meas- ure of simple justice to that island people in whose behalf but four years ago we entered upon a bioody and costly war. This tendency, so evident and so palpable, shows the direction in which we are going: ows that there is growing up in this country of ours a tendency toward a shoddy imperialism and an absolute destruction of those stern and mple ideals of republican simplicity which we inherit from our fathers. In netional affairs, in the domain of foreign policy, they have thrown overboard the charter which has so long guided the destinies of our peovle in the past, and without compass have set sail on an unmapped sea with the ship of state. These tendencies, this growth of power in a few hands, has naturally produced counter- movements. which unless they are carried on within, and under the folds of the Demo- cratic party, may, in some time of stress, dif- ficulty and danger, lead into paths of radical- ism and danger to our republic. Here in this party is the home of those who seek and hope to receive orderly reform. Here is the home of those who if they are but given an opportu- nity to volce their sentiments, and to feel that they are here once again, at home, will make the Democratic party what it has been in the past, the acknowledged champion of the hosts of labor throughout this land. we looked yesterday upon that remark- able and memorable procession in the streets of San Francisco; when we saw those orderly ranks of men, engaged in the avocations whic are building up this commonwealth, marching in an endless stream, orderly, clear-eyed, straight and honest, carrying upon their faces the evidence of what they were, it became evident to every Democrat who looks back on the history of the Republican party in the last few years that here is the place and here are the votes which. if we are wise ir our action here to-day, will replace the Demo- cratic party in its triumphant and_ dominant position in the ecity and county of San Fran- clsco and State of California. As the result of an o\-erwhnlmln%mmmy In their favor in recent years, our Republican oppoments find themselves to-day torn by factions and rent by discord, and offering to us as a consequence of this condition the opportunity to re- establish our supremacy. Gentlemen of the convention, it is needless for me to say more. We are here as a rep- resentative body of that great party which, serene- alike in victory and defeat, has stood ever as the harbor of refuge and the rock cof defense to the conservative forces of this land, and we are here to organize a Democratic vie: tory. I belicve that your actions will be such that when we go hence, our labors finished, we méy present to the voters of the Democratic party the opportunity to achieve a glorious vic- tory. At this time, and before closing, I may upon me at this time to preside over the delib- | be pcrmitted to make one remark, in which SANTA CRUZ SAW MILLS ARE BURNED TO GROUND Property Loss Is Heavy and Many Men Are Thrown Out of Employment. SANTA CRUZ, Sept 2.—The loss by the destruction of the Hihn saw mill at Lau- rel this morning amounts to more than $100.000. The mill was one of the best in the State and cost $70,000. The fames spread to a lumber yard in which there were three million feet of lumber, and of which about a million feet were de- stroyed. The blacksmith shop adjoining the mill was also destroyed The fire spread to the standing timber, but a large force of men kept it from gaining any beadway. By great exertion the fire was kept away from. the dwellings occupied ty the employes. The mill was erccted two years ago, and equi with the best modern machinery. Mord than one bundred men will be thrown out of em- ployment. The water in the creek did not save the , which was destroyed. A car loaded with lumber was burned. A few months ago the Hihn Company lust their planing mill at Salinas by fire B i e o B B B e B I SO S s = X and a few years ago their saw mill at Aptos was destroyed. At the same hour the Hihn mill was discovered to be on fire, flames broke out in J. W. Peery’s saw mill at Boulder Creek. It was the work of an incendiary, 4s the fire was first seen in the sawdust rile. The mill was closed down six weeks ago for repairs and it was intended to start. to-day, as there was a million feet of timber ready to be cut. The mill and ten thousand feet of lumber were de- stroyed. The mill had a capacity of 20,- 000 feet a datyA About thirty men are thrown out of employment. The loss is about $6000. No insurance. The mill was lcased and operated by W. H. Booth. e S Released on a Writ. PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 2.—C. L. Fay, a well-known insurance man of this city, who was arrested here a week ago and started to Wisconsin in custody of the | Sheriff of Waupaca County, was released te-day at Bismarck on a writ of habeas corpus. — SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Sept. 2.—The Costa Rican war vessel Roas bas been sold by auction and has be:n bought by the Colomblan Gov- ernment Compou llonCO-. Miils Bldg., San Franciscas I feel I shall voice the eentiment of every Democrat within the sound of my voice. Here where I stand now, but two years ago we heard the eloquent swan song of Califor- nia’s leading Democrat sounding to the people of this State that last grand appeal for Demo- cratic_action. The untimely hand of death has since laid Jow the honorsd Stephen M. White, and we cannot but feel at this time, as we confront the difficulties and questions which are here to be decided, that his counsel would have been valuable indeed in our delib- erations and that we may well remember and well reverence his memory at this time, and say that ““We long for the touch of a vanished hand, and the sound of a voice that is still. Delegate Hicks of Santa Clara moved that the chairman appoint three commit- tees of twenty-five members each, name- 1y, credentials, permanent organization and order of business and platform and resolutions. The motion prevalled, an | when the result was announced H. | Alford of San Francisco moved that a re- cess be taken until 5 o’clock to enable the chair to make his selections. E. E. Leake of Yolo offered an amendment that the recess be until 4 o'clock. He said: “In making this motion I want to state to the convention what probabiy a great many do not know, that when this pa- villon was engaged for this comvention it was with the expectation that we were to begin our deliberations on Monday. It is absolutely necessary that we get out of this hall to-morrow, or find a new meeting place. I believe it will be ampla time for the committees to be_ appointed if we adjourn until 4 o’clock. I therefore offer this as an amendment.” Alford said he was willing to accept the amendment, Lut Chairman Patton, befors "K,f""‘ the amendment to a vote, said that it would be impossible for him to se- lect the committees within one hour. “I_have no slate prepared,” he said, amid applause, “and I desire to do fair and jmpartial justice to the whole State. I therefore ask you that the original mo- tion shall prevail. However, if you insist upon the amendment, I will put it. Do you Insist, Mr. Leake?" “No, sir,” was Leake's reply. Alford’s motion was then put, and the convention took a recess till 5 o'elock. JOHN J. FULTON CO. Another Recovery in Petaluma Bright's Disease and Diabetes Are Positively Curable. We have the following from our Peta- luma agent: PETALUMA, August 26, 1902. Jno, J. Fulton Co.—Gentlemen: Another cure. Mrs. B., aged fitty-five, had Bright's Disease of long standing. She was advised she could not recover. After being notified to fix up her affairs she was persuaded to try Fulton s Compound, and pow, after four months’ trea.- ment with the Compound and proper diet, sh> is well and able to do her own housework. As 1 handed her a bottle of the Compound to-day for a friend she remarked: “Four months a: 1 could not get out of bed. To-day I cooke dinner for twelve hay-balers and cleaned up the kitchen before coming to town.” Yours, H. H. MAYNARD. This is the fourth recovery from Bright's Disease reported from Petaluma. All weré genuine chronic cases of Bright's Disease, diagnosed as such by competent old-school physicians and acording to all medical authorities positively incurable. Bright's Disease and Diabetes are now posi- tively curable in about 87 per cent of all cases. Experfence proves that a fair percentage of the extreme cases that have made up the 13 per cent of fallures can recover where the patients can have the advantages of a sanitarium, with its dlets, trained nurses and physicians. Wo have perfected such arrangements in fhis city- Terms moderate. A number of physictans can | be retained who have successfully administer- ed the Fulton Compounds (among them are three who have themselves recovered), Home treatment will be as heretofore at $1 per bot- tle for the Renal and $1 50 for the Diabetic ind.
