The Republican State Convention was
called to order at a quarter past 10 o'clock
yesterday morning, and the Chair at once
announced that the first business in order
was the nomination of candidates for Asso-
ciate Justice for the short term.
Senator Mcgowan of Humboldt presented
the name of Hon. John ]. De Haven, of
that county. He said that in doing so he
knew he was advocating that which would
be to the best interests of the Republican
party. Humboldt had always been loyal
to the Republican cause-she had her
watchfres constantly burning on her
mountain-tops, and now asked this nomi-
nation at the hands of the Republican
party as recognition of her party fealty.
Mr.. De Haven was the only Republican
who had ever carried that district for Con-
gress Place him on the Supreme Bench
and he will lay down the judicial ermine
with clean and honorable record.
George a. Knight seconded Mr.. De Hav-
ems nomination. He said the man does
not live who ever heard Judge De Haven's
integrity questioned, or his judicial capac-
ity spoken of in other than the highest
terms.
Judge F. H. Short, of Fresno, placed in
nomination Judge George A. Nourse, of
thar county. The people there, he said,
knew no north nor south-they were for
the best interests of the entire State, and
asked the nomination of Judge Nourse,
knowing that his elevation to the Supreme
bench would be an honor to the judiciary
of the State.
William Collier, of San Diego, seconded
the nomination of Judge Nourse.
Mr. Clark, of Yolo, spoke eloquently in
favor of Judge DeHaven.
Mr. North, of San Bernardino, indorsed
the nomination of Judge Nourse.
Harry Morehouse, of Santa Clara, in
dorsed Judge DeHaven's nomination. He
said that in the Democratic district in
which Mr.. DeHayen lived, the latter was
held in such high public esteem that no
Democrat could defeat him for any po-
sitiop.
c. NJ. Shortridge. of Santa Clara, spoke in
support of Nourse.
The roll. call was then commenced, but
before it was two thirds concluded, Mr..
Scott, of Ventura, withdrew Judge Nourses
name and asked that the nomination OF
Judge DeHayen be made by acclamation.
The nomination was thus made.
SECRETARY OF STATE.
Mr. Davis Of Alameda placed in nomi-
nation Z. G. Waite of that county, to
whom he referred as one of the founders
of journalism in California. Mr.. Waite
he said would go into office with a splendid
reputation, and would bring that repre-
sentation away with him.
Mr.. Sims of Nevada seconded the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Waite, whom he highly eulo
gized.
W. s. Moore OF Los Angeles also indorsed
Mr.. Waite's nomination.
The nomination OF Mr.. Waite was made
by acclamation.
The nominee came forward and made &
few remarks His tongue failed to fnd
words to express the sentiments that welleC
up in his heart. He thanked the Conven
ton for the honor conferred upon him
and promised to do his full share of worE
in the coming campaign.
