| lhs remsi1uer OF the report OF the Com
mittee on Oder OF Business was then taken
up and the second section read.
On the motion to adopt, MIR. Cadwslader
said while 1t might not be well for the Con.
yention to nominate, yet it is not the
time to say the Convention wants no
| representatives of it's cause excapt ma.
per declarations. Let the Convention
hold on to the right to nominate-let the del.
| egates go to the Stockton Convention and act
with that body snd Join in its nominations if
| they see fit. The velleys have resolved and
the miners have resolved, but the latter back
up their resolutions by their acts. Let the
| Committee of Twenty go to Stockton also. and
| If they and the delegates see mt to put fash
aud blood into our resolutions, let Us stand by
them. No cause that ever had material
| principle to advance ever advanced it
without putting Rome one into the field
to bsar the standard; bus here it is
proposed to co nothing but rssoluss and go
home, and divide our votes by partisan lines
as in the past Nearly all candidates this
! year go into the field the champions Of some
| cause. We have carse within our liner, and
it should have advocates in field aad lie yisla.
turs-natural champions. If we can find
repres entatiye5 of the cause let us indorse
them by our votes. So l move as IN amend.

mitf e OF Twenty "a hereby given power. after

| W. {. Green, of Colusa. said the idea of
| the committee was not to absolutely prohibit
| the making OF nomiE atoms. Tao report
/ reads that 1t is deemed inexrediens aoiv to
nominate. The committee bad il mind that
action might be had after the meeting of the
! Stockton Convention.

MIR. Mesick, Of Sacramento, wished to
know ii the delegates were ready to su5ordi-
nate their political preferences to this cause.
! Ii aye, and if the expression of the people
| has not been mere boasting, then this Convcn.
ton has the power to name the next Gov
ernor. APPLAUSE It hiss been said do not
! aatagon}z5 parties. That is not correct.
| Whist is wanted is sntagonism of parties ii
they choose to declare against us. What this
csuse wants is an exhibition of power. II
this Convention is unable TO name ticket

be FILTERED away this fall, you will fad next
! year all the hydraulic min in operation, and
! the decisions of the Courts modified by the
| building Of these accused dams / favor MAX
| ing ticket here, and that eve, maa shall go
/ home and work for iggO home and vote for
! men because we have q, coo votes. l am in
favor Of nominating one of tiie present candi.
/ dates for Governor, and if that antRgorizes
tue other party, then wa have made friends
| OF one of the parties. The question To him
! tthe speaker was 80 great a oae that lie felt
IS If the anti.debris people were justified in
! going into auy extravaganza. Why, the
! RECORD. UNION this morning says, in
| substance and effect, that the fsllsbeen OF
| Egypt would be justified in going to extremes
! to protect themselves if a single one of their
crops were jeopsgdizsd by the late result in
! Egypt. l1 Coos name have not our crops
! b=en Jsopardizsd for year,? Aye, actually
! destroyed year after year? God bless the
! man who made the late decision as to hy-
| drsuiic mining, but LEI Us remember that
| public opinion affects decisions in some de-
| gree, and that q change in public opinion has
been worked on this hydraulic mining ques-
! ton. AS TO dams to restrain debris for him,
hs'd prefer that the farmers take care of it
! day By day, rather than consent to build up
| dams that shall hold back great mass in
some future day to DO precipita.ed at once
| upon the valley, to its utter aud irreVocabie
ruin. lApplause,
! VIII 5. Green, of Coluss said no ore had a
! greater contempt for the cowardice of poiiI.
/ iCal parties than he. when man, who
claims to be 3 statesman, gets up aud dc.
| ciares that the destruction of section of a
! great State has nothing to do with politics, !
| set him down as a knave ana fool Ap,
| plause. Craftsmanship embraces the go9d
OF all the State. Politics to-day seems to be
! Only the rush for office. California cannot
| for five times its value replace the lands
| threatened with destruction. On B5ar river
more territory is destroyed already than
would by its produce feed San Francisco
don't want to giys my Endorsement
| here to either Stoneman or Estse. They are
| both towards on this question, and neither
one is statesman. AS party man l may
vote for one of them, but not as a partisan OF
this issue. We don'5 want to nominate here
| now, as we don't know who to nominate,
| There Is but one man / am ready to have the
committee indorss, and that is the ATTORNEY
! General. Applause But that single ACT
would probably injure him. Both candidates
Tor Lleuseu ant-Governor are miners. To put
up new ticket-we have butt line counte of
the State-would not bring us the support
we expect in our own counties. We can only
make our influence felt by nominating from
the other tickets, and 1 for one am not ready
80 taxa them up, for their parties have not
had the courage to declare in favor of pre-.
serving California for California"
| DIR. burst, of Iuba, said the position of
| the candidates is due not so much to their
| cogardice or courage as to the acts of their
paroles. He he ieved this Convention could
! 30 act as to be recognized as a power in the
State. l5 can declare in favor of some man
for the subernatorisl chair VIII, will rep
resent st least the power Of this Conyen-
! ton and the demand of tha people for relief.
! The Convention can give more strength to a
candidate by indorsing one or the other of
these now in the fisld, than it will weaken.
Mr.. La Rue, of Sac.amento-Are you
ready to say which of the gubernatorial can
| didases this Convention can rely upon?
MIR. Durst-I am prepared to name the
one.
DR.. Harvey, of SACRAMENTO, thought that
if the Convention Endorsed any man on
either ticket, it would weaken that
man. This is, because the Convention
is not ready for such an act.
| Take San JosquiD. Its delegation fears to
nominate Tor that very reason, because min
ing debris has not YET affected that county as
it has the upper counties. But San Joaquin
sees it coming, and its people are being edu-
Gated up to the proper Wow of the matter.
The endorsement of one party will ansag-
onizs the other, and either is better
organic than the aati-debyis people
are now. So the committee proposed
to send the matter to the COMMITTEES name d
ia its report. Lei the work of the CONVEX.
tloo and It's dslegates BE dire cted TO securing
tho proper legislative representation. In that
line is to he found the trus policy Of the Con-
vention at present. TGe committees idea
was that the committee named should have
power to act after viewing the whole field.
Mr. Mcintosh, of San Joaquin, said it was
too late to get up ticket and NJ it into the
hsld. Ii the AGti-Deb,is element is not
ready to nominate, it il its own fault. An
other year, an org Aniz ,tion having now been
effected. lei that element be early in the field
and make It's power felt ia the Ssate CONVEX
tons. La the meantime let all work TO &C.
cure ii Il ienae for the cause il the Legisia-
tUre.
l. \. Hoaz, Of Yolo, said the Stockton Con-
venti2n, under its calf has authority 10 make
NJ nominations except for ard Of Equeliza-
tiop, Judges Of Supreme Court and Railroad
I Commissioners. The Casitman Ct the COM
mittee making the call had told hin that
the CJnveniion could go no fu thar with
