WARM ENDORSEMENT OF ENGLISH
While the Secretaries were computing the
votes cast for the committee at large Mr.. White
surrendered the chair to one of the Vice
Presidents, and turning to the Convention he
said:
ID desire, as ii is apparent that one member
is to be elected by an almost unanimous vote, TO
anticipate the result, and as the next order of
business is the election of Chairman of the
State Central Committee, l desire to place i'll
nomination for that position W. d. English, of
Alameda. Applause. | have not placed any
one in nomination, and did not intend to do SO
during the session of this Convention, but can
not refrain from presenting his name. That man
has devoted, not days and months, but years, to
the service of the Democratic party of this State.
He has toiled increasingly, not for office, nor Tor
the emoluments or honorS of place, but simply
for the triumph of Democratic principles. l
hope and trust, gentlemen of this Convention,
you will unite and express your gratitude TO
Mr.. English, and your appreciation of his ser
vices, by nominating him by exclamation. !
move, therefore, that Mr.. English be declared
the choice of the Convention for Chairman of
the State Central Committee"
Mr.. Oullahan, of San joaquin, Endorsed the
nomination favoring Mr. Engli h because he
was business man of energy, and such Il man
was required in that most important position.
Delmas also seconded the nomination of Mr..
English, declaring that in the contest which is
about to take place it will take Il man of energy,
integrity and yigor to lead on TO victory. To
this class of men, | can most emphatically say,
belongs Mr. English. / cordially indorSe his
nomination, and most heartily recommend that
II be made by spontaneous reclamation.
SPEECH OF THE CHAIRMAN.
The Convention voted unanimously and Mr..
English who was called to the platform, said
81 thank you for this honor, and the manner i'll
which you have conferred it upon me- | lis
tened very carefully to the reading of your plat
form and resolutions, and they receive my
most hearty concurrence. | believe platforms
are made to be respected [applausel and pledges
to be kept. Renewed applause. So far as my
vote, my influence and labor will perfect and
carry out those provisions, in their letter and
spirit you can rest assured they will be eXer-
cised. Representatives of the party, or officers
of the party, who ignore the provisions
in the platform and violate the
pledges made to the people, should
be condemned. The news was flashed across
the wires last night that Mr.. Tilden will not be
candidate before the Chicago Convention.
This Convention preferred, by AN unanimous
vote, the delegates of this State to his support,
and it looks TO me now as though we will have
to go to Ohio and take up that great statesman,
Allen q. Thurman Applause long continued,
who has devoted half IL century of his lifetime
in the interests of the Democratic party and the
people of the United States. Failing il that
quarter, we have Bayard, Cleveland and Han
cock capable of leading the Democracy i'll the
contest for popular rights i'll November next.
Ilallk YOU llllS POSITION, ana
accept it with the honest conviction that we
will win this fight i'll mex November" lAp-
