Mr.. w. H. Webb, Of Monterey: 81 am
like the gentleman who has just spoken
in favor of short speeches. The gentle
man whom wish to place in nomina-
ton is one Of our Oldest and best-tried
citizens. He came to this State in 1S4S
and has remained here from that day to
the present time, most of his time hav-
ing been spent within the limits of Mon
terey. During that time, when the toe
sin of war was sounded, all know that l
have never finched or failed to meet the
enemy (applause), and the man whose
name will present before you has al
ways led me in those struggles. He is a
man who through the long course OF his
life has served the Democratic party
truly and we'll, and as a reward for his
fidelity think that we ought to nomi-
nate him. He is the Hon. Jesse ID. Carr
Of Monterey. Applause
