President and brother members feel proud
OF the honor Of having been one Of the found
ers and organizers Of this club, at which we
have so large an attendance this evening
Your members testify an interest in the al
fairs Of our State and nation, and In the pur-
pose for which we are tonight assembled. And
well the youth Of Sacramento may be int;r.
ested in the future OF their native or adopted
State. Sir, California is tie grandest State
in the American Union. She IS second only
in size or superficial area, and while vastness
in territory is not in itself greatness It IS OPP
portuuity, and opportunity occupied Is
greatness" Fer thirty years the stream OF gold
and silver she has poured into the lap OF the
world has eclipsed thatot any other State, and
changed the whole basis CT commercial values.
In her wheat exports she stands only second,
while in quality her cereals have 10 riTsi. La
natural wealth she stands at the head OF the
roll of States, while in beauty and grandeur
not one of her sisters even claims to be her
peer. The variety Of her climate enables her
to suit the most fRstidious taste, and with the
variety and fertility of her soil giFes her q
range Of production elsewhere only found
from tropic to frisid zone. With all these
elements to render her great, with an atmos-
phere pure and clear and health-givipg as
Wanted Italy's, holding in her caves and
mountains the treasure chambers of the
world. and producing in her valleys the fruits
and vegetables and cereals Of every zone,
standing on o pedestal from which she dsz.
zles the world With her splendor, and casts a
radiance Of civilization and science, We feel
we have hight to be proud Of cur State, and
to demand that in the counsels of cur nation
she stand where nature placed her ia msteEial
wealth.
1t is high-minded men that constitute q
State" and make it respected quite SIS much
as natural wealth and advantages. We re-
spect Maine for the sake of Blaine. Web.
ster and Sumner gave honor and credit to
Massachusetts,; the ability Of Seward gave
position 10 New York. Virginia we revere
for the eloqusnce of Randolph, and as the
home of Washington and Jefferson. the
Stats Of Georgia is remembered for Ben Hill,
and Mississippi is respected for the silvery
notes of Lamar. The men we send to our
national halls will give US dignity and respect
and honor according to the ability they them
selves possess.
A man who will by his genius place Cali
forria in the rank to which she belongs is
what we want to represent US at Washington,
and in looking over the lists of possible can
didates we see the name of one, and remem-
Der that, in 1861, then q young man in the
Senate of California. he made the Senate
walls ring and held its members spsll-bound
by the inspiration of his eloquence upon the
preservation of the Union. ITO be eloquent
can only be the privilege of few" and we
remember a score of times since then when on
the rossrum and at the bar he has proven
himself not only eloquent, but both states
man and lawyer; and when three years ago
Judges of the Supreme Court left their
bench, State offices closed throughout the
Capitol building, members stood unconsci.
ously facing him at their desks. and gallery
and lobby quietsd to tins stiffness OF death, to
hear him in the Constitutional Convention,
the world knew he was one who would be
heard and whose influence must OF necessity
be felt. That man was Henry Edgerton.
And feeling as we do q local pride
our State, wishing only for their highest
success and prosperity, and believing the
statesmanlike qualities of Hon. Henry Edger-
ton would bring honor and credit to our
Western commonwealth that g lifelong ex-
perieuce and intimate political knowledge OF
our State would enable him to know our
wants and see and feel our needs; that his
broad views statesmanIlke quantities ana pre-
eminent ability would enable him to frame
laws to meet the demands Of a growing and
diversified country like ours and that his In.
spiriup eloquence would impress his views
upon his confreres and successfully plead the
PASSAGE of those needed laws in our legislative
halls: now, therefore, l offer for your con-
alteration the following resolution, and move
its adoption
Resolved That the Columbia Club, OF the city OF
Sacramento does most heartily indorse the Hon.
Henry Edgerton as u candidate for nomination FOR
Congress from the State at large, and that it ask
every patriotic lover Of his country to Join With It's
members in securing his nomination anu election.
The resolution was adopted without debate,
and the Club then adjourned.
POLICE CoURr-Judge Henry had large
calendar to dispose of in his Court yesterday
morning. The five young nen charged with
the burglarizing of a saloon on Fourth street,
were stood up in the dock. Their names
were given as Thomas Bailey, Michael Gala
CHER, J. Talbot, G. Anderson and james Fay.
Each of them had an alias. and their correct
names are not known. Bailey peached on
his comrades in crime, and the charge against
him was dismissed in order to get testimony
to convict the others. From the evidence it
appears that the burglsrizing Of the saloon
was contemplated and plotted several days
before the same was done. From the evi-
dsnce it appears that they were bad quin-
tet, and they were held to appear before
the Superior Court to answer to charge of
burglary. Martha III. Carew, charged with
petit larceny, had her case continued to the
9th. August Nadand, for similar offense,
will be tried the same day. John Donovan,
charged with battery and disturbing the
reace, was convicted and sentenced to seventy
DAYS in the County Jail. Pat. Donovan
pleaded guilty to o disturbance of the peace.
and was fined ten dollars or ten days in the
chain-gang. Y. Major, for wife beating, was
convicted and will be sentenced tomorrow.
All Lue, charged with burglary, was tried
found guilty. and held to answer to the Supe-
rior Court.
