ous honor, OF which he has q
right to be proud. We congratulate
him and the republicans Of California
upon the result"
"But Eli Dennison, who was sc
lected as delegate from McKenna's
district, is mature statesman. he
occupies the exalted and lucrative
position of chief peanut agent OH Mr..
Stanford's railroad, and is in favor OF
Mr.. Stanford for President.
"Was he the only Objectionable
man on the list ?"
"Mr. Stanford's friends were not
idle in the convention. OF the sixteen
delegates elected the following are
known to be out -and-out railroad men ::
Greed Raymond, Byington, Dennison
and C.F Croker, with several others
whose status is uncertain"
"How about Pixley?'
"Both Tom Fitch, the silver
tongued, and Frank Pixley, OF the
American Party, were knocked out in
the Convention. Pixley can now re-
torn to his assault upon the Pope's
Irish, and Fitch to the work of pictur-
ing the beauties Of the city of Bayn-
climate
"Nyas there not one good Republi-
can there?"
"Ex- Governor Mansfield, alert, ex-
perienced and penetrating, with an
acquaintance extending to the borders
of the State, was on the floor OF the
Convention, not as o delegate, butasa .
sagacious observer, able to read the
cipher kilograms or the manipulators.''
"Mr. De Young's presence in the
delegation ought to be fair offset tc
Mr.. Haymond's being there 2"
"Creed Raymond, the Richelieu oi
the railway company, played it fine
when he attempted to muzzle the
Chronicle by putting Harry De Young
the fierce and heretofore implacablt
anti-monopolist (for revenue), on the
delegation to Chicago, in considera
tion of his voting for Stanford. The
scheme appears to have succeeded. !
"Now, Mr.. Times, are you not all
alone in your disapprobation of the
way things are being done in the
inner circles Of the <. o. p. ?"
Gail alone? Now, see here, young
man. We may be in the minority.
They may be able to vote us down.
But we are not in poor minority Of
one. Read this minority report from
the Convention if you think we are
alone:
A minority resolution report was
made denouncing the action of Stan
ford in voting for the confirmation o.
Lamar for Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States for his
vote on the Interstate Commerce law
and for refusing to answer question:
before the Pacific Railroad Commits
sion.
Miner, Of Solano, moved rejec
tion OF the minority report, and char
acterized it as firebrand. He also
questioned Knight's sincerity in try
ing to make name or record for him
self at the expense Of others.
| Mr.. Knight, in reply, eulogizeC
Blaine, and was frequently interrupt
ed by applause. AS to the firebrant
resolutions, he said that he had takei
them with a few simple verbal change
from the party platform adoptet
April %, 1876, BY the Republican
State Convention, and asked why .
change had occurred in the feeling:
Of the delegates? Blaine is picture(
as the frebrand who would set the en-
tire Union aglow before November
next. As for the attack on himself
he said he was willing to place hi
political career before the people, q!
he feared no comparison with his op
ponent, never having bolted the party
ticket.
His remarks were received will
lcheers.
| +. G. Phelps of San Mateo mex
spoke iDidefense of the platform as in
troduced by the Committee on Reso
lutions.
A resolution was then offered tax
ling exception to the action OF Senate
Stanford in voting for the unrepent
ant rebel Lamar, for his vote on tn,
Interstate Commerce Law, for his re
fusing to answer questions before tn,
Pacific Railway Commission and TO
appearing before Congressional com
mittees to plead for the railroads.
| McGowan, of Humboldt Denounced
Stanford, and said Senator VIII,
would vote for the confirmation q
Lamar was not loyal to the Republic
an party.
The vote cast by Stanford, he said
was an insult to all veterans and thos
who had lost their friends and rela
tives in the rebellion.
The resolutions against Stanfor,
were voted down, and the majority re
port was adopted.
