nomination of L. Friel thought it was
right and just that the seaboard should
be represented on the ticket, and that it
would be characteristic of the Demo-
cratic party's actions to do SO.
J. G. Morgan of Santa Monica Sec
onded the nomination of j. B. Win
ston.
Calvin Edgerton of Vernon also
seconded Mr.. Winston's nomination,
and extolled the memory of the county's
dead heroes. He was interrupted by
cries of Time" but excitedly yelled
cpl speak my speech out, and you shall
not put me downsin speaking of dead
hero's son." He concluded with the
hope that the Democratic party would
take this native son by the hand and
lead him to the seat of honor.
R. j. Adcock, of University, seconded
the nomination of l.. Friel in an elo-
quent speech.
J. Marion Brooks, who was compelled
to get upon the platform, seconded the
nomination of Mr.. Friel. He said that
the name of pioneers son had been
presented. He would have been a pio-
neer himself if the opportunity had oc-
cured; but it was not those who lived
upon the records made by their fathers
before them, who lived in the hearts of
the people. 1t was those who made
their own records, pioneers or other
wise. Mr.. Winston was young man OF
culture and refinement; but Mr.. Friel
is man of experience and he hoped
that that would carry some weight with
it.
Col. J. J. Ayers then rose to second
Mr. Friels nomination, which he did
as follows:
Gentlemen: Ii there is any man in this
convention who should second NOM
ination as pioneer it is me. If any one
should second the nomination of son
of DR.. Winston, it is me, for it was in
40, in Chill Gulch, Calaveras county,
that l first met DR.. Winston. Now, ali
this talk about pioneers sons is not
what should be said in a Democratic
convention. We are not only here to
nominate the best men, but the strong
est ticket with which to confront the
enemy. With all due respect to Mr..
Winston and all honor to the memory of
his respected father, this is nc time
or place for sentimentalism. therefore
second the nomination OF Mr. Frel
for the reasons given us, viz: that the
seaboard Of the county has been over
looked, and think that district should
be represented upon the ticket.
Judge Guthrie also seconded the NOM
ination of Mr.. Friel, and stated that by
placing him upon the ticket the party
would secure the votes of E. T. Wright's
friends.
On motion OF w. B. Crisp, the nomi-
nations were then closed, and the roll

resigned the chair to Vice-PresidentJ Jno.
Bryson. and rose to comply with a duty
which he felt strongly and deeply
interested in, not only on account of the
person he should name, but on account
of the valuable services he had rendered
to the party during the past eight years.
Mr.. Billy Waters cloud and prolonged
cheers), as secretary of the Democratic
county central committee, had always
been in the forefront of the battle for
thegood Of the cause, and though poor, he
had not only refused to accept one dollar
OF compensation for his services, but he
had willingly met every call that had
been made upon him. GA voice-"I
move we nominate Billy Wa

is the first favor he has ever asked at
your hands. and if elected he will poll
more Republican votes than any man on
the ticket. Cheer after cheer rent the
air as the speaker closed, and cries of
"Waters" were heard.
Judge J. T. Bearden in nominating
w. E. Hughes, said that unfortunately,
all could not be secretaries of the
county central committees, but his NOM
inee had rendered every service to the
party that he could. He was gentle
man of undoubted respectability, COM
petent, and peculiarly fitted for the
Office.

nomination of Mr.. Hughes.

Waters. He had known him for eight
years, and he was always at work for
the party, early and late.
L. G. Winston Of Pasadena followed
suit, as did also w. B. Crisp
of Sierra Madre, who at the
close of his remarks moved that the
nominations be closed.
J. H. Brewer Of Vernon here took the
floor and said: II want this conven-
ton to understand that Billy Waters is
not froms West Virginia, but from
Maryland; if anybody wants to know
about the Democracy of Maryland, "by
Cd, let 'em ask me-"
Mr.. Waters was called upon to make
speech when on the platform paying
his 80 fee. but he declined on the plea
that he would do so later, if nominated.
Mr.. Hughes said that if nominated he
would do the best for the ticket. He
was not speaker and begged to be ex-
cused.
The secretary then proceeded with
the roll call, but only few precincts is
had been called when Judge Bearden,
who had nominated Mr.. Hughes, with
drew his nomination and moved to NOM
mate Waters by acclamation. The mo-
ton was carried with enthusiasm, and
the convention again insisted upon a
speech. Mr.. Waters then appeared
