Resolred, That in pressing Hon Henry H.
Markham for the Republican nominee for Gov
ernor we name gentleman who is the Ieer OF
every other in the State a citizen, irreproach-
able in his personal, social, domestic and busi-

views OF public affairs; as soldier, one who
bears upon his person the honOrabl scars whlc h

men, in speaking of that section of the State

MarkhamS candidacy for the Governorship is
not based upon any territorial reasons. lap

Republican county of California, we do not

the banner Republican district of the Pacific

| want to impress upon this Convention in as
deep and as ineffaceable manner il is possible
| for me to do, that Henry H Markham is not the
candidate of Los Angeles county, nor of south-
| ern California but his candidacy has support
and strength throughout the length and breadth
of this matchless commonwealth. Applause. ]
And want to impress upon you farther, that
the boundary line of Markham's State is Oregon
upon the north and Lower California upon the
South. lCheers. l do not want to speak of
would hoot me out of the State if did; but that
is what was aiming at in an indirect manner.
Whenever that movement is seriously attempted
If it ever can be seriously attempted in the
face of aninsuperable constitutional objection
you will find Colonel Markham and his friends,
or most of them, where he was in 1861: opposed
to secession. Great applause Now, gentle
men of the Convention, | am not going to bore
you much longer. You have been very patient,
and / am very hoarse and laboripg somewhat
because | am not feeling very WELL SO shall

possible, and that will be very soon.
want TO say to you that one
of the strongest evidences of what
Colonel Markhams official and private career
has been may be found right there lpointiug to
the Los Angeles delega ionl. want to say to
you for those gentlemen, who placed me here,
that he has always been true and performed
every duty, whether in an official or private re-
lat on in life. He has guarded the interests
Of this country he has the
interests of his constituency, with that
splendid fidelity with which the tabled dragon
Of old is said to have guarded the golden app IS
of the Hesperides; and ii you make him the
nominee OF this convention for Governor
guarantee to you here to-dsy that the Republi-
can cause under his leadership will be as resist
less'as the torrent which bursts forth from the
rough and rugged sides of the snow capped Sier-
ras, and, sweeping everything before it, seeks its
home in the bosom of yonder ocean. AP-
plause.
If you make him your leader the Democratic
hosts will disappear before our advancing col
u1nQS ike the mlStS OF the morning before the
rising sun. ICheers
l feel, gentlemen of the Convention, that l
have said all that is necessary for NE TO say in
placing this distinguished gentleman in nomi-
years, and you are very familiar with his pub
lie record. l leave it to you to say now, after
surveying the whole field, in the exercise of
your wisdom and your Judgment, exercising it
solely with reference to the interests of the Re
publican party, who in that estimation will
most surely lead us on to victory but that man,
in my humble opinion, is Henry H. Markham
of California. Great applause.
W. W. MORROW IN NOMINATION.
Judge Walling, of Nevada county, then
mounted the platform and placed w. W.
Morrow in nomination for Governor in the
following remarks:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention:
1t would be singular indeed if California pos
sessed but one Republican citizen who sought
and was worthy OF the position of Governor OF
this State. Why, it almost seems to me, as |
look into the faces of this Convention, that
could pick out 500 men who would make Gov
ernoIs and who would do credit to the Republi-
can party. Iwant 10 remind you in the outset
of what few remarks 1 shall make in placing
| before you another gentleman for your suf-
frages, that you and are assembled here to-
| day as the representatives of the grandest po-
| litical party OF the day. AS such representa-
| tives, you and come not here to crafty indi-
vidual preferences or to merely compliment In
| dividual friends. Our duties here are higher.
/ The interests are Oh more paramount imp II
ance. and IT is for you and to dispassionately
| consider the claims of candidates who may be
| presented. and, exercising our best judgment in
the interest of ALL select that man for our nom
| inee for Governor who we shall believe can best
| subserve the interests of his party. There are
certain considerations which naturally present
| themselves to the thoughtful mind in the selec
| ton of candidate for Governor may say, in
| the first place we require a man in whom the
1 Republican party OF California have implicit
confidence; we require man who has
sufficient intellisence to represent the
/ intelligence embodied in this party; we
require man who has sufficient integrity
! that no question can ever arlseas TO whether or
not he is fit man for the nomination. We re.
! ouire man who has that industry, and that
disposition to perform the services imposed upon
him. that will warrant him giving his personal
attention thereto. And want TO say right here
that am not before you for the purpose of say
| ing anything derogatory to any candidate
| placed before you or who may be placed before
YOU. l aver now that honestly believe that no
| respectable body of Republicans could be found
who would place in nomination, or attempt TO
put before this Convention, q man unworthy OF
your suffrages something has been said OF the
military record of some of the gentlemen al
ready placed in nomination and 1 want to say
to you if there is class of men on Good foot
stool to whom feel warmly attached, IL is tnat
very class of men, If there is a class OF men TO
whom the country owes debt OF gratitude, Mr.:
Chairman it is that class of men. But want
to remind you CT this fact that, during those
days of the Rebellion, when the valunteer was
barring his breast TO the storm of shot and shell,
had /, not been for the support of this grand old
Republican party behind him. that was provid-
ing the ways and means and the moral support
his efforts must have been failure. and conse-
quently it is that every true volunteer soloiel
realizes that the success of the Republican party
of to-day is of more importance to him than the
success of any individual, no matter what hi:
personal performance in the past may have
been. Applause
propose, in the interest of the views which
l have suggested. and, as believe, In the inter
ests of the Republican party of California,
have the honor, and esteem it as such, to pre-
sent 70 this Convention for their consideration
the name of Hon. W. w. Morrow. [Great ap
plause and cheers
Gentlemen of the Convention, I have alread,
stated to you that, in my judgment, this nomi
nation should not be made from mere motive
of enthusiasm. l want a chance to talk and
wish you would keep still. Will you do it?
