Der Of the State Board OF Health then came up, and
brought forth considerabe discussion.
Mr.. RowELL said that he wished most respectfully
to protest against the confirmation of the appoint

Breyfogle or any disrespect to the Governor. He
wished to state that the of Dr. Breyfogle does
not appear among the list Of regular practitioners OF
the state, but appears among the homeopathic prac-

fill the State Board of Health with regular grad

dislike or rather want OF harmony, between the
medical professions. IL DR.. Breyfogle is confirmed
it would Immediately create dsseusOns, and he was
told that member OF the Board who may al
ready have been appointed or confirmed will serve
on such Board. 1t would not be in accordance
with the previous custom. II would not do any
good and would do HARM In protesting against
the confirmation OF DR.. Breyfoge he had no feeling
of discourtesy to Governor Perkins, nor had

hoped the Senate would refuse to confirm
Governor Perkins that it is not for the purpose
Of creating dissension that he makes this appoint

would appoint one, and therefore he had sent in the
name of Dr. Breyfogle.

dietary because it contained questions OF law to be

peated that there bills that ought go to the
san Francisco delegation.
Mr. ESos warmly advocated the reference Of the
bill to the San Francisco delegation He alluded
to the interest which Senator Baker of
OF Santa Clara appeared to take in san Francisco
affairs and to his opposition to any recognition of
the San Francisco delegation.
VAIN DEBATE.
Mr. BAKER gave the reasons why he considered all
bills should 20 TO some standing committee Of the
Senate. In the course of his remarks ne said that
the gentleman from the Thirteenth CIR. EnosI did
not a foot of land in San Francisco. He con-
tnued am casting no insinuations and making
no charges ut all. | am simply defending mvsef
from the sneers and fIngs that have come from the
houorabe gentleman who has Just taken his
seat, and from the member from the Tenth though
he clothed it i'll the words Of different tongue lam
merely defending myself when state upon the floor
Of this Senate that, as small taxpayer as | am in
that city, pay five times much taxes as the ma
jorty of the delegation, as at present constituted
pay altogether. Therefore | haze q right and /
state it this floor. The majority OF the San
Francisco delegation pay $50 and some cents taxes
to the State OF California and the city Of san Fran
CISCO and four of them do not pay a cent Now,
Mr. President, where are these bills to 70? | MAKE
no charge | expressly discaim it ; but when it is
charged that pay more attention to the interest OF
the city and county of San Francisco than have a
right to, return it with all the indignation and
contempt of a taxpayer for the charge and for it's
author. am Senator, not of Santa Clara, but of
the State of Cali have interests, though
they be not great in the city of San Francisco and
| have friends who have interests which number
many thousand times the interests of majority of
the San Francisco delegation. Therefore l claim
that have a right, an inal enable right which
shall not be prevented from asserting by
the sings, sneers or insults Of any member
of the San Francisco delegation. / will stand by
what l believe to be right, in the face of
that delegation, though they were united, which
do not believe they are and in the face of the en-
tire press not only OF the State of California but OF
the United States Though / stood alone upon
il / believe 1t to be right viii stand
there until the resurrection day. And when the
gentleman makes these insinuations return them
to him with all the scorn and contempt which they
deserve. So much for my interest in the
city and county Of San Francisco: and so
much for my reason taking this position.
And | shall maintain it if it be until
the adjournment OF the Legislature. The gen.
ltman talks about what he represents. What does
