NOMINATION OF LELAND STANFORD.
Mr.. Bruner, of Sacramento, said that WITHIN
! q few minutes he had expected that the honor
of naming the gentleman who would repre-
| sent the people of California III the United
| Senate for the next six years would fall to
some one else but although the time for his
| preparation had been short, so long has the
! life, the fortune and the sacred honor OF
/ Leland Stanford been ut the service of the peo-
pie of California, that it would be small credit
to him if 1 could not say something in his
! praise. He came TO California. and to
/ the city of Sacramento in the early hfties.
| Within o stones throw almost of this
| Capitol, he founded AZ mercantile business
! But his integrity III business. his asso-
citation and connection with public affairs
brought him so prominently before the
people of the State that he received the nom
! ination for Governor OF California and became
the War Governor of the State in the wear
! 1861. He was, in truth, u War Governor in
I all res poets that the term implies. With all
| the power under his control, with all the
weight ofhis intellect, with all the enthusiasm
OF his nature, he stood by the Federal Govern
ment in the great conflict which was then
! pending. TiIne passed, and the question arose
/ how to connect the great East with the great
/ West. They knew nothing of us upon this
coast in those days. But Leland Stanford.
with his associates, bound the; East and the
/ West together, and that communication from
1 thar day to this has brought the people of this
/ state into close connection with the people of
other States. Time passed, and in this city of
| Sacramento and throughout the State of Cali
fornia he showed his devotion 10 the laborlng
/ men OF the country by making ii possible for
! them 10 have happy homes in which TO live IN
/ comfort, and enjoy not only the neeeSsaries
! but the luXnries of life; and to-day his name
/ is installed in thehearts of the worEingmen OF
not only California, but OF the whole United
states. In this city. dotted with its pleasant
| homes, unlike the old countries of
! Europe, every man can own his hearth
! stone and work under the employment OF the
| great corporation OF which Leland Stanford
! had been President. Mr.. Brilner traced his
career to the United States Senate where, he
said, it had been honorable and as good as
| that of any man whom California had ever
/ sent to the National Capitol. To-day they
1 would replace him in that exalted position.
/ knowing chat the industry, the ability, the in
4 tegrity, the iaithfuiness that ne has already
given to the people of this State. viii be eX-
| tended for another six years. He had shown
his phiiantrophy by giving to the people of
/ California the grandest institution OF the age.
