On behalf of Sacramento city and county-I
might say not only of the Republicans but all
the people, place in nomination for the office
OF Railroad Commissioner, William Beckman of
sacramento City. AS an honest man he has
gained in the past the best wishes of every man
ness man he has left his Imprint upon the
whole community, and as a public official he
has procured the respect of all men. If you
viii nominate him he will make a vigorous
contest, and will be elected, but, whether NOM
mated or not, will make an earnest canvass for
the whole ticket. Applause
Mr.. Carothers of Mendocino seconded the
nomination of Mr.. Beckman and pledged
him the ten votes of that county.
Mr.. futile of Placer placed in nomina-
ton Hon. John M. Fulweiler of that
county in the following words
-Four years ago, when the Republican State
Convention met III the city of Los Angeles and
this District Convention assembled, the name
OF Augustus Abbott of Sacramento was placed
before it as a candidate for Railroad Commits
siOner, and the name of Mr. Fulweiler of Placer
was also, though perhaps not as prominently
mentioned G0nnpptltn 70 NJ
Fulweiler at the solicitation OF the Sacramento
delegation and the other friends of Mr.. Abbott,
withdrew from the contest then, and, while not
expressly, 1t was implicitly understood that he
should receive the support of the Sacramento
delegation for the office at this time. Yet the
name of Mr.. Beckman of sacramento has now
been presented for your consideration. OF Mr..
Fulweiler it is hardly necessary for me to
speak. He has a State reputation. He has
been connected with the Republican party
from the very time of its organization. If
nominated he will make fight for the party
from one end of the district to the other and
lead it to victory. He is a gentleman whom
everybody knows, and not only fully qualified
as far as ability goes. but man of spotless rep
utation in both public and private life. ] pre-
sent his name with full confidence that he
should receive your suffrages [Cheers.l
Mr.. Davis of Placer said that Mr.. Beck
man and Mr.. Fulweiler had agreed the
night before to postpone the nomination
till P. M, and he moved an adjournment
till then, which was seconded by Mr.. Gray
of Naps, but voted down.
The Secretary was then ordered to call
the roll. Before he commenced Mr. John.
ston of Sacramento rose and said that as
member of the Los Angeles Convention he
desired to deny any understanding that the
Sacramento delegation should give its sup.
port to Mr.. Fulweiler at this time.
The roll was then called, with the follow
ing result:
