NOMINATIONS.
JUSTICE s, J, FIELD.

The call of States was then ordered for the
nomination of candidates for the
Presidency. The first State called
which responded was Califor-
MIA. John E. McErath took the stand to
present the name of Justice s. j. Field for the
Presidency. He was a man of Connecticut, of
California, of Virginia, of the whole South,
for he threw around them the shield of Justice.
All classes owed him a debt for having shaped
and defined laws to protect labor. If nomina-
ted by this convention he would sweep Cali
fornia.
He was man without a peer, without re-
proach, without stain, and the nomiu tion
would b, seconded by Oregon and by the rest
of the Pacific coast.

loud and continued applause Hell no carpet
knight rashly put forth by us to fash a maiden
sword in the great contest. He is veteran,
covered with the scars of many hard fought
battle where the principles of constitutional
liberty have been at stake, in an arena where

people (applause). His name and his record
are known wherever our flag floats, aye, wherev-

this great continent, a private character as
spotless as the snow from heaven (great ap-

an intellect as keen and as bright as flashing
sabre, honest in thought and deed, the people

great country, now awakened to new life and
