lance of purity at least, could be secured By
wrecking the old hulks.
The name of Mr.. Morton was again pre-
scented to the Convention, and he was nom
mated by reclamation
Mr.. Morton was called for, and took the
platform, not he said, to accept the nomi-
nation, but to return his thanks for the
high honor conferred. To receive the
unanimous nomination from such a Con-
vention was an honor that no high-minded
citizen could fail to appreciate. He had
misgivings as regarded his ability to serve
them, and TO render that service in the
California Senate that Sacramento county
demanded. He did not doubt sincerity in
the cause, or his ability to stand against
corrupting influences. The position OF
Senator was leading one upon the ticket.
They should select q man of vigor, brains
and ability, If he was younger man, he
might accept He saw men around him OF
equal if not superior ability, and those who
could serve the county better than he
could. He felt it his duty, not only to
himself, but to the party also, to resign.
[Cries of mo, no accept. Gentlemen, |
will take the matter under advisement, and
let you know my decision before the Con
vention adjourns."
AssEMBLYMEN.
For Assemblyman from the Nineteenth
District, Walter B. Rogers said he wished
to propose for that position a good young
man, one of ability and integrity. He
named Harry w. Carroll.
David Lubin said he wished to name a
gentleman who was solid on every PROPOSE
ton; a man for whom every one had a
| good word who could not be bought nor
sold man who would not wear the col

| no fir, af MrI,r e. AM I
Mr.. Rogers withdrew the name of Mr..
| Carroll, and Mr.. york was nominated by
reclamation.
j. B. Welty placed Charles A. Jenkins in
nomination for Assemblyman from the
Nineteenth District.
Mr.. Jenkins declined, stating that he had
| several reasons for not wishing to accept
the nomination. He also added that he
had not been resident of the district for
one year, which was necessary to make
| him eligible.
There being no other candidate for this
| position, it was passed.
Charles A. Jenkins placed in nomination
for Assemblyman from the Twentieth Dis
trict David W. Taylor (Democrat), and
there being no opposition he was nomi-

never voted straight ticket in his life He

appeared upon any particular ticket. 1t
was the first time he ever accepted nomi-

he highly eulogiZed as gentleman of rare
| ability, of many friends, and the soul of
| honor.
| Charles Hull placed in nomination Rob-
ert Allen, the Democratic nominee. He
said we must put up men whom we can
elect. The Republicans are going TO stick
| to their man, so are the Democrats to theirs,
and we cannot elect Mr.. Leitch. We can
| elect Mr.. Allen.
Mr.. Wilson warmly seconded the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Allen whom he had known
in Iowa. He was not nominated by the
Convention, but by the Central Committee.
1t was hard to get anyone to accept, because
it was said that nobody could defeat Nose
Drew.
A. Plummer Endorsed Mr.. Leitch in a
complimentary speech.
Abner Burns said he was not opposed to
| Mr. Allen personally, but if the Conven-
| ton Endorsed him, they at the same time
| Endorsed the Little Six" Central Com
mittee of the Democracy, which was a
| disreputable clique in this city-any way
you choose to view it. Mr.. Allen did not
| go before the Convention, but before such
committee as we have denounced in our
| platform. Let us carry out that principle,
and sit down upon the Little Six" We
did not come here to tie ourselves to the
l nny, hfrt To or off for
office. Let us break up these : cliques,"
and break them up completely.
