General Hart don't expect the votes of the
hydraulic mir ers Endorsement will not hurt
him much then. The Convention should
have the evidence of who is the enemy and
who the friend of the cause. He was at a
loss to know why the Executive Com
mittee had not demanded expression
of the candidates, SO that this
Convention could know who to choose. Why
did the miners go up to the political Conyen.
tions and control them? Because they are
energetic determined men and not afraid to
face the music. He favored the Convention
adjourning to future day in order to find
cut who are its friends among the candidates.
DR.. Teegardep, of Yuba, said he had seen
letter from Mr.. Estee on the subject. 1t
was In answer to one written by L. j. Sher-
wood. 1t was carefully worded letter. and
did not commit Mr.. Es.ee to any policy,
and said only that if elected he would admin
lister affairs to the bast interests Of the
people, ETC.
Mr. Ohleyer, of Suffer, had expected
either Endorsement of candidates or the max.
ing. of new ticket. But his delegation ar-
irving here and meeting others, found divis-
ion OF sentiment, and hardly knew what to
think. II the cause is worth anything, it
must produce a leader. II the homes of the
people are not sufficient to produce leader,
let the delegates go home and never
again open their mouths. True. some
progress has been made. A few wears
ago such body Of men as this could not have
baen convened on this subj ct. A short time
ago 1oio aud Sea Josquin had said, "We
a>e not Interested" To-day they are with
us. Nos shall the cause have a
leader Yes, yes; and let US go down
with him this year, if reed be, with
colors hging." The right in time must tri-
nuph. Taere are Statesmen, but he feared
they are not found on either the Democratic
or Republican tickets He had letters from
such men as j. Mem. Shafter and A. j.
Bryant, breathing OF true statesmauGhip on
this subject. Suppose defeat comes this year,
what OF it? Let us have leader willing for
the CAUSE to be sacrificed. [Applause
MIR. Banks, OF Tehama, wanted full and
calm consideration. He favored action as
suggested by the committee and by the mo-
tion Of Mr.. Cadwslader.
MIR. REUTER-, of Sacramento, said there was
something wrong. He didn't understand it.
TOP many candidates from the several tickets
were in the Convention. He moved that all
candidates in the meeting be requested to
take back seats. Laughter
Dir. Mou'tonr or Colusa, said the Stockton
Convention had asked farmers from all over
the State.
Mr.. Hoag said the farmers had been asked
TO meet Ia each township and elect delegates,
and IN case they do not do 50 th5 Masters
aud SscTstari s cf the Oranges are to act as
delegates. Not ore OF the townships has 50
acted. What may be doae is yet to iecure
such action.
Mr.. Moulton-But This is just what they
will yet do. Let us go home ard see that
the meetings are held next Saturday, the day
SET. The miners are organized well. h
admired the man who has the bravery 20 ron
over him. and that was what the Miners are
doing.
Mr. CsdwAlader said September 3Osh ia
the day set for the elscsion of delegates TO
the Stockton Convention, and it will not be
composed OF Grange members uuless they
happen to be chosen. j. V. Webster, who
bad called the Convention, told him last Fri.
day that the whole thing rested With tbs Con.
Vention as to whether il would 90 into other
nominations than those named in the call.
aud whatever the Convention did, he, Mr..
Webster. would abide by it.
Mr.. Mouton continued, reviewing the
debris situation and the condi ion of the up
per valley. a State organic alton is needed,
and must be had.
The question was on the consideration Of
the second section of the report of the Com
mistee on Oder of Business aud Mr. Cad.
walader's amendment thereto.
r. Q. Sargent, Of San Joaquin, said he WAS
not aware when be cana to the Convention
WAS nominee Of the Republican party for
the Assembly. and had pledged himself AID
could not violate it. lie asked leave to with
draw pending the consideration of the Sec
tion.
f. r. Drsy, of Sacramento, thought the
section as reported about right. Half the
Convention is already plsdgsd to one or the
other Of the parties. Many delegates are
nominees. As honest men the delegates dare
NJ f-1~A al- =, IL
This Convention is not mistake; the eyes
of the State are fixed on il. But the Conven-
ton knows not as yet its friends and its enc.
mics. Tie report forms a solid compact be-
tween the deleg ates for the future. That is
all that can be done. To try TO nominate now
will be to fritter away strength, for the par
ties in the field have the most of the material
pledged. But the Convention can SO act as
to make the politicians respsc. il and feel it
as power. Hereafter the politics of this
State cannot ignore the body of eighteen this
Convention forms.
II III. LaRue, of Sacramento, said he had
been here thirty years. Some twelve years
ago he had to abandon his farm near Sierra
mento; now it is covered with debria. He
cana to the Convention not expecting il
would ipdorse any man now nominated by
any party. After his selection as 8 delegate
he had been nominated by party for the
Assembly his parry III Ills county laq
spoken untq Iiv0csliy on this issue. No
language could be stronger. This Convention
cannot now nominate, because the other Ceu-
ventions have pledged most OF the delegates to
certain platforms and tickets, aad, theref IRE,
no honest man can indorse any m3a here and
stullify himself as TO his former pledges. As
to the Stockton Convention, he did not b.
lieve it would act as this Convention hopes.
The delegates have too much else 60 attend to
there, and will bs worn out with attendance
on the State Convention.
Rev. L. Z. Dwinell, OF Sacramento, said
the wishes Of the rival candidates is e true
index. Does Mr.. Estee or Mr.. Ssoneman
wish this Convention TO nominate? Certain
ly not. That, then, should point to the path
Tor this Convention to follow. To refuse to
nominate viii be to fire blank cartridges.
D=hnite results must be attained. He
favored the laying Of definite plans to put
some candidates IN the field II the Conven-
tiou is not ready now, let it adjourn till it
gets ready.
Mr.. Learned here handed up FIVE dollars for
the cause, and said he must 60 home. He
wanted to vote, but there was so much silver.
topgued oratory, he said, that he saw he
couldn't get to a vote before his train left.
w. s. Green, of Colusa, said to attain
definite results it must be by practical means.
Results in this business demand the ex 2endi-
turs of money. 1t must be had. The COM
mittee propose to get 5, 900 or 900 member
ships at s. each. That will give g fund to
work with The committee can then decide
If it is practical to nominate. At least they
can send out workers in the field and ask the
people TO pledge the nominees for the Lszis-
lature TO give che farmers relief froTG debris
That will be something practical. That cJm
mittee can tslk over its strength in private,
and bring about practical results by wise
ac5Ion 30 secure power in the next Legisla-
ture. That Is where the eau c wants to be
felt To :hat end the labors OF the organiz.-
tion should be directe II truth he believed
both candidates for Governor to be incliEed
to she valley sice. and to DO justice, and
NOTHING else was asked.
Mr.. CIdIslsdec wan ed the Cor vsatian TO
march On at least llttia. His amendment
p lated out G safe and practical path He
mad form uGtCd 1t anew, as follows:
Among other trusts reposed in sail Board OF Di.
reetors is the one that it may in behalf and
after fair and proper inquiry and due conference
with the Stockton Convection about to assemble
select for US suitable candidates for one or more
State officers to receive our surayes at the coming
election.
He was not afraid of the ten or fifteen
candidates 10 the Convention. He believed
they could be trusted. This Convention liz
not running either of the political parties,
but conducting only the business of a cause
greater aud more sacred taan the causs Of
either party in this State. Applause. Let
not the Convention take counsel OF ITS fears.
