! Mr.. SeaweIl seconded Mr. Whites nomina-
ton III an extended speech, in which he
| warmly eulogized that gentleman. Referring
| to the public services OF Senator Stanford, he
| said he had met with the reasonable expecta-
/ flons OF the people. The Democratic party
! was again coming into power, and Mr.. White
/ was the man most eninently fitted to repre-
sent California in the Senate of the United

SENATOR STANFORD DEPENDED.
Mr.. Carpenter said he had not intended to
make any remarks ON that occasion, but felt
impeiled by a sense of duty to reply to the in
sinuation thrown out by the gentlernan who
nominated Mr. White. The people at the last
election had vehementiy declared against the
effect that the charges made by Democratic
| orators during the campaign against Mr.. stan
and neishbor of Mr.. White. and knew his
worth. but if the issue had been between him
ana Mr.. Stanford directly before the people
the majority would have been twice twenty
thousand for the latter. Il had been said that
MI. White was a native of Cali
fornia, but he tho spealser) was
not aware that there was any special virtue in
The matter of birthplace, and did not believe
| that even Mr.. White would claim TO be any
better than his own father, who was born in
ireland. The speaker referred in eloquent
terms to the position occupied by Leland
Stanford, when the States OF The Union were
in the throes of civil war. Gentlemen, he
they please, but long after he and they shall
| world, Leland Stanford's memory would be
| enslrined in their hearts.
The remarks of Mr.. Carpenter were loadly
applauded.
