GENERAL CHAPMAN IN NoMIYATIoN.
General A. Hart of Sacramento
placed in nomination General n. P. Chip
man of Tehama in the following words
Ar. Chairman and Gentlemen OF this Conve1,fioa:
recognize the fact that we have before US, as
Republican body, number of gentlemen who
are aspiring TO the highest official position in
this State, either of whom is worthy of the sup
of all Urnd RepTThlipQps
Either of whom would receive my support with
pleasure in case he obtained the votes of this
Conventions: but We must remember that we
are inst about TO enter upon a political fight.
We will meet our most important and our
most dangerous contest, when this discussion
in our home is ended aud the labors of this
Convention have been completed. And to me,
as one OF the representatives of the great politi
cal organization which has called Us here to-
gether, among the able, distinguished, honor
able gentlem who aspire to occupy the Office
of Chief Magistrate of this State, propose, in
the exercise of my own judgment, to select the
man whom l believe will be most certain to
lead our forces to victory in the coming election.
therefore desire TO present to this Con-
of scandal eau be uttered, and if he is nomi-
mated by this Convention the highest compli-
ment, Mr. Chairman, csn be paid to him that
could be paid to any candidate: that there
would be no Republican in California who
could find decent reason for voting for his OPP
ponert. refer to the Hon. n. p Chapman. of
Tehama lgreat applausel, and in presenting his
name to this Convention permit me to say that
present it because it is a pleasure. When ruthless
and disloyal hands undertook to pluck star
from that banner, General Chapman, then
young American, shouldered his musket and
marched to the front, carrying the flag OF the
Union to victory lcheeringl; aud in all the im-
portant contests that we had while he was IN
the service of the Government, carrying his
musket with the Grand Army OF the Republic,
as it was then and is now. he was always found
at the front, performing distinguished service.
which made him the particular favorite of that
grandest of veterans, that man who lives in the
hearts of his countrymen now and will forever,
whose name will be whispered reverently in
households as long as the green aIth sha con-
tinue to bear flowers and TO raise men aud
women to read and think-the favorite of Ulys-
ses S. Grant fgreat cheeringl, the greatest Gem
eral of any age. When our almost first import
ant victory was gained at the battle of Fort
Donelson, Major now General Chapman, was
the man who led the forces to the fight and
from its enemies. lCheers.l You all know how
our soldier boys suffered from the persecution
of their enemies in that damnable prison known
as Andersonv lie, where our patriots were sub
iected to privation, starvation and death.
When the tine came to administer the appro-
pirate punishment to the individual who was
the hesd-keeper OF that internal hole, the Gov

through its officers for one who pos
sessed bravery, ability, and determina-
ton to prosecute the villain selected
OF the Union General N. P. Chipman, the man
who is now here, distinguished by his services. a
candidate for the Goyernorship of California.
And at the end, when the war had passed away,
showing the esteem in which he has been held
by great men, Ulysses 5. Grant, recognizing the
services that he had performed, appointed Gen.
eral Chapman Secretary of the District of Column
bia. J hat was followed by the good people of
that district, who had been almost upon the
scene of battle during the years of the past, Sc

ity, and again returned him to the Congress of
has induced me, no. as the result of
solicitation, not as the result of interest,
not because | see victory perching upon his
banner, not because ] desire to be among those
who would be successful in this Convention,
but because of the worth of the man, because
of his services in the past, because OF the
breadth oil his intellect, because of his bravery
and determination, and because of the unspo :
ted character which he has borne from the time
of his entry into public life until the present,
that take pleasure in joining with him and
his little band in asking this Convention to re-
cognize great man, and to name one for Gov
error who, at the end of the campaign, will be
the strongest with the people of the State of any
who could be placed at the head of our forces.
Gentlemen. have now said nearly as much as
desire. / wish TO add this, without max
ing any invidious comparison. that / be-
lieve that General Chipman, with his distin-
guished past, Il the strongest, and certainly as
and private career, as any gentleman who could
be nominated by this Convention. And 1 tell
you to nominate him il you are wise, asd he
viii carry us to victory as certainly as the day
of election comes. lGreat applause.]
