When tho State of California was call
ed, Mr.. Babcock came to the stand 70
propose the name of II. IL. Mcdonald.
lie spoke of him as man who had borne
the banner of prohibition in the wine,
cursed State OF California, and against
whom scandalOus assaults had been
made. DIR. Mcdonald had been charged
with having manufacturer ana sold
alcohol in medicine called vinegar
Bittcrs. lie asserted there was not
siurle bottle Of that medicine sent out
that did not bear around il Il temperance
tract attacking the liquor traffic, and he
stood here to refutc the infamous Islander
that there was drop of alcohol in those
hittcrg. DR.. Mcdonald has offered prizes
to schools of San Francisco for essays
on the subject of intemperance ana OF
tobacco: he was surprised to ma thc
Islander circulating in PittSburg, but 1t
annanrod TO him the most infamous lie
of whisky traffic was first picked up ana
circulated by temperance men,. Dr'
Mcdonald was kentuckian by birth;
go wears of age, in the full Nlgor
of matured manhood and intclli-
rcnce; man of largo expo

Uo was cautious and conservative IN
his methods, firm and sell-reliant; had

nation, if he was nominated, his purse.
his enthusiasm and his courage would
set at defiance all efforts TO dlsorganIze
or render ineffective their canvass. lie
was a man who had money ana VINO was
willing to contribute of those means.
When the State of Illinois was called,
Mr.. George Christian, OF that state,
came to the platform to nominate eX-
Gov. St. John. He said the name which
he would present to the convention was
above any other name in its power to
gather and concentrate for the cause OF
the prohibition movement; ~ was
name known in every household in the
land; he was a man whose record
spccjallv commended him to the con
alteration of the convention; he was
gentleman who had seen war; who
had lived in the bloody plains of the far
West; who was the father of cruel,
practical, constitutional prohibition; he
was a man whose whole soul and ener-
gies were entirely devoted to the cause:
although Mr.. st. Johna had had barrel
vet the bung had always been out help
ing somebody. He might not be able
now to contribute very largely IN
material way. but he could give to the
cause the influence of moral force ana
moral heroism, which no other man now
named. or to be named, could ever hope
TO give. In behalf of the Illinois dole
