ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
CHICAGO, July TAT q meeting to-day
of a large number Of California citizens
and Democrats, present at Chicago In at
tendance upon the National Convention,
the following expression of opinion was
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the sfront offered to Judge
Field by the California State Convention
was not an expression Of the Democratic
party, nor Of the people Of that State, but
a fractional outburst of the Convention,
which was largely composed Of delegations
appointed by the County Committees.
in denial Of the peoples right at the prim.
airy elections, and of other participation in
the processes which are at the beginning Of
the party's entrance upon a Presidential
campaign, it was without precedent and a
MISREPRESENTATION OF the best OF the party,
and the most elevated public sentiment In
California and has seriously jeopardized the
ELECTORAL votes which q united party would
be proud to present to the Victorious
National Democracy
Whereas, the people OF the Pacific Coast,
regardless OF the party, are unjustly indig-
nant at the attempt to treat with con-
tumely an eminent citizen whose fame
belongs to his country, whose name is
spotless in regard to Democratic princi-
pie, AZ taught by Jefferson and vindicat-
cd by Jackson, and embodied in these
latter days by Tilden, whose right to the
Presidency in 1876 was 80 maintained by
Judge Field, as a member OF the Electoral
Convention, AZ to give it the solemnity OF
an u~ndisputed historical letter therefore,
Resolved, That we esteem IL a duty. rs
1t should be the pleasure, Of every true
Californian, to give Judge Fields name its
proper place of honor, foremost among
the leaders Of the Democratic party, from
whose number q Presidential candidate is
to be chosen.
Resolved, That in his career as a legis-
lator, laying the foundations OF a State
policy in California. and his judicial opin-
ions rescning citizens from the jaws Of
military power, protecting the ministers
Of religion from base ~punishments inhict-
ed by the provisions OF arbitrary, heart
searching and tyrannical test oaths; re-
leasing the entire Judiciary Of the State
from duress, provided by an Act OF Con-
gress, which sought to deny to it the
local jurisdiction 80 necessary TO the pro-
lection Of individual liberty; maintaining
the authority Of the States over corpora !
tions which they create, to be exercised in
the curbing Of monopoly and prevention
Of extortion; sustaining the credit of the
States against the immortality Of repudia-
ton and terrifying the national credit by
sternly restricting the Government to the
powers delegated TO il by the Democratic
fathers Of the Constitution, which he has
construed with that strictness which is the
safeguard Of a free government and the
only guarantee OF life, liberty and prop
erty. We recognize him as the great ex-
FOUNDER OF our principles andIone OF our
safest and soundest leaders.
Resolved, That we further ask the IA
vor and friendship OF the Representatives of
organized labor Of this country for Judge
Field, for that in one Of hi ablest judi
cial opinions he emphssizdA that sympa-
thy with toll and ~toilers, so often ex-
pressed in his many decisions in these
words: Labor Is q necessity of our land,
and to protect labor ID the highest Office
OF our laws. Their aim should be to pre-
vent physical and moral debility, which
springs from uninterrupted toll. Author
ity for the enactment OF such benefcent
and merciful laws l find to be the great
object OF all Governments which is pro-
tection.' California's statutes are filled
with safeguards devised by him for the
protection OF the homes, the comforts, and
the property OF ssborers, by wise exemp- |
ton and homestead laws.
Resolved, That while We pledge our
best efforts as Cslifornians for the candi-
date chosen by the National Conven-
ton, into whose battle we will
enter with that enthusiasm which
has slways made q united Demo
cracy invincible in our State, we ask for
the claims, the record, and the merits OF
Judge Field. the respectful consideration
they deserve, confident that he can guar
antee that our State will give mir her
electoral vote, regardless OF the mistaken
course OF our misguided fellow-citizens,
who are enlisted in the deplorable work OF
Reorganization, which is often the fore
runner of defeat.
The above resolutions are signed by J.B
Carr, Chairman; r. J. Faulk. Secretary;
Edward Curtis, State Senator; Kelly, State
Senator; Dougherty, ex-Lieutenant Gov
