tenant-GoVernor said that he presented
TO the consideration of the convention a
man, who, when he comes before the
people will carry the party to victory.
The speaker expressed himself in SYM
pathy with the Young men, and eulo-
glZed the young man whom he was
about to nominate. Though not lar adj
yanced in years the candidate had acquit-
ted himself creditably, and demonstrated
his ability in the light of experience. He
has been a representative of various in
terests, has made law his study and is a
graduate of one of the finest educational
institutions in the land. If nominated
and he will be-he will be elected and
will reflect great credit upon the State.
This man is the broad-minded, intelli-
gent citizen, John +. Davis.
Great cheering greeted the speaker as
he took his seat.
GROVE L. JOHNSON.
Hon. Charles T. Jones said he had the
pleasure of presenting the name of a
man who has long resided in Sacramento,
and who is the united choice of the dele
CATION.
Mr.. Jones called attention to the fact
that Sacramento, the banner county of
the district, had never been honored with
a Congressman though she had helped to
elect representatives from nearly every
other county in the vicinity. Twice she
has assisted in choosing resident of San
Joaquin to serve in Washington; tn rec
times Nevada has been thus favored;
Sutter County has twice obtained the
prize, Ell Dorado five times and Calayeras
three times.
Under these circumstances, Sacramento
has some claims upon the convention
and is deserving of recognition. If the
votes OF Sacramento County could be
cast aside at the coming election, who
would accept the Republican nomina-
ton?
When the Speaker named Hon. Grove
l.. Johnson as the candidate of this
county, the supporters Of that gentleman
| rallied for mighty cheer.
He is eminently the choice of tho Re-
publicans of this county," said Mr..
Jones, land would beat any other candi-
date for the nomination overwhelm-
lngly. That he
POSSESSES THE ABILITY
To represent the district properly no in
telligent man can deny. The party could
not win in the district unless the noun
tain and valley Republicans stand shout
| der to shoulder. Sacramento's candidate
is presented as the friend of the whole
| people and as one who will deal fairly
with all. If nominated he will be
| elected and the party will never regret
it. he will make brilliant campaign if
nominated, but if he should go down in
defeat he will still be loyal to the inter
ests of the Republican party"
| G. f. Street of Tuolumne seconded the
nomination of John f. Davis. He said
| that while the interests of this district
are varied, it is important to have a prac-
| ucal miner in the halls of Congress.
I'VE must have man who Will truly
! represent the mining interests or we are
| lost. One who is thoroughly alive to
the needs of the mining region. The
Democratic nominee is mountain man,
and in order TO secure the votes of that
section it is necessary to nominate John
| f. Davis"
COMPLIMENTARY REMARKS.
]. M. Fulweiler of Placer rose with
more than ordinary pleasure" to second
| the nomination of Grove l.. Johnson.
He spoke of the clash ofinterests between
| the people in the past and referred to the
| losses occasioned thereby in the mount
ain regions. 1t is necessary on the part
of the miner and the farmer to join hands.
| 1t will not do to take man simply be-
cause he may be a miner. One should
be selected who is broad-minded, Gull
| tured and possessed of the ability to push
through measures to give our people re-
lief. The miners should see to it that
man of industry, intelligence and elo-
quence is sent to Washington The Hon.
! Grove l.. Johnson is such man. Nom
mate him and you will have one who
will cement all tactional spirit and help
to carry the party to victory"
T. II. Greedy of Marysville was glad to
see friends Of the valley in the mountains
and also to know that there are friends of
! the mountain people in the lower section,
| All the property owned by the speaker is
in the Sacramento Valley, and he is
earnestly DESTROYS Of advancing the inter-
| estS Of the whole people. The nominee
of the convention should be "a Republican
who will give victory to the party. Mr..
Greedy believed John F. Davis a thor
oughly competent man and favored him
in the interest of the Republican party.
Wells Drury of Sacramento said the
valley men have not forced the issue be-
| tween the sections. But if the mountain
men are determined to force the issue, let
the valleyites meet it.
THE CANDIDATES TALK.
| w. A. Anderson moved that the candi-
dates be invited to address tho conven-
| ton. The motion prevailed unani-
mouSly.
The mountain men then called for
| JohnSon; the delegates from the valley
| demanded to hear Davis. Each faction
| seemed DESTROYS of giving its champion
| the last speech.
Mr. Davis first appeared. He said:
My hand Is raised against no industry
in this district" He proposed to bring
| to the consideration of every question in
right honesty that he had displayed in
his campaign for the nomination. He
| would not compromise himself or lower
his selt-respect in any may and wanted to
| know If the convention was willing to
trust him.
Mr.. Davis said he believed that hy-
! draulic mining could be conducted with
out injury to the valley. The question of
| rehabilitating the mining industry so as
| to avoid injury to the valley lands is a
| great public question. He could come to
| this question with fairness, even if he did
| live in the mountains. He proposed to
| go ahead in good faith, would endeavor to
find a method, and thought the Govern
ment should assist. The speaker said
| that, though young, he had an ambition
to make the most of himself and render
service to the people.
JoHNsoN'S SPEECH.
Mr.. johnson then appeared, in response
! to calls, and made an admirable effort.
| He said that for twenty-seven years he
had lived in Sacramento County. Here
! his children and grandchildren had been
| born. Here his al is conferred. The
! happiest thought he had was the salts
faction derived from the hearty support
Of the people of Sacramento County. He
! had long had an ambition to serve the
people in the capacity of Representative
| in Congress. He would strive to pro-
| mote the interests OF the WnOle district.
He had made an honorable fight, and
any one who said differently, whether
editor or layman, did not speak
| the truth. At the Miners Convention
he had urged harmony and union.
| Should he be sent to Congress, Mr.. John
son promised that he would labor cease
lessly to promote every interest of his
