After the names were read, Mr.
Wright of California moved that tn
proxies present be accredited. whic
WAS opposed by Will S. Green OF Colusa
who justly supposed that expsri-
vnd that he thought the allowance
proxies was giving undue advantage t
those delegates. Sacramento valley
said Mr.. Green, has only two votee. an
could have 20 proxies if desired. II th
more southerly and near portions di
not send delegates they should not hav
proxies.
@. L. Smythe Of Utah said the sam
question came up at the Salt Lake con
vention, and it was held that the dele
gates present should have the full vot
OF their respective states. Col. Hinto
proposed that the question OF proxie
should be decided by further commit
tee and be held over until the commit
tee of rules report. After further debat
the report of the committee ON creden
tials was adopted. The chairman an
nounced that Major Powell woul

very sensible to the compliment you
have paid me, and not to me alone, but
also to the 'Sunfower state that love
80 we'll. [Applause].
81 think it 10 Mr.. Brice, the commen-
tator upon American institutions, who
has said what Europe is to Asia, what
England is to the rest of Europe. what
: the United States are to England, that
and all that, the western states snd ter.
ritories are to the Atlantic states.'"
This eminent authority has furthsl
said that the heat, and the hustle, and
the stir of life all increase as one goes
towards the setting OF the sun, 30 we,
+. who are now standing on the shores ol
the Pacific, are now about the very
center of this great pulse of life.

not, upon the very threshold of my re.
marks, say something about this besuti
full city--a city whose name is oftenel
spoken in my state than the name o
any other city in the state OF California
Strange as it may seem to you, the name
of Los Angeles is a name most familiar
to the people OF Kansas.
