He spoke as follows:
1T is 10 NE source of extreme pleasure
to rise to place in domination for the exalted
office OF United States Senator one of the
honored men of California. With her early
statehood he is identified; with her progress
his name is familiar; with her advancement
his public life is linked closely.
His name is well known to you all, for
you have honored him with a seat in the
Senate hall of the nation. and this trust he
is now fulfilling with ability and credit to
himself and with honor to US. The Fifth
Congressional District bas twice honored
him in the lower house Of the national
Congress, and the good people of San
Mateo, whom l have the pleasure OF repre-
senting, three times have been represented
by him iu these very halls which we now
occupy.
I'm the discharge of those public duties no
man can attribute to him single dishonest
or diShOnorabls act-nay. no one can point
10 a disreputable spot in his whole pubic
life. We recognize his ability and admire
his manhood. In him we have that virtue
which constitutes the noblest work OF
God-an honest man. No words of mine
can add brlliancy to a life that is not
worthy. for deeds speaks louder than
words. The public career Of the man
| whom | am about 10 present to you needs
no eulogy at my hands. In the language of
an eminent jurist "a life that needs
euiOgy Is UNIV rthy of it. and life that is
worth a eulogy does not need it,
Il claim for him no merit but that which
he has ably earned. and which his glorious
| commonwealth must vouchsafe. He is a
| Republican in heart AMI principle, and, like
| all good Republicans. he is proud Of it.
| While Republicanism is represented by a
minority of this House. aud while this
! party has not been victorious in the recent
election, yet sir. its sunset OF life is not APP
| preaching. Ne. not so long as the United
! States flag continues to wave over a free
| people; so long as there remains sufficient
/ animation in the American heart to kinds
| a spark of patriotism, the principles of that
| grand old party will never die.
when | stand here upon the floor Of the
| Capitol TO place in nomination for United
| States Senator San Mateo's gifted son / am
| only advocating her wishes and voicing her
sentiment, regardless Of party, for in him
! she has always found champion. BY his
record OF the past. by the high esteem in
| which he is held, / am warranted in saying
| that no name shines with greater luster in
| the annals of our Golden State than that of
Charles n. FELTON,, and i now take pleasure
in presenting his name to you"
| Bedsoe seconded FeltOn's nomin alton in
| fve-minute speech.
Shanahan nominated Stephen NJ. White,
| saying in effect as follows:
Not as representing the sentiment OF
any particular locality, but OF the whole
State, l rise TO nominate gentleman of the
| State of California. Notwithstanding the
| railroad legislation of former Legislatures
and the gerrymandering of the State, the
I people rose in their might and threw of
! the shackles of such control The people
| demonstrated their wishes in the last cleo
ton" Shanahan also read n prediction

Mr.. Speaker: / arise to second the
nomination Of man whose election has
been determined by an appreciatiye people
Stephen NJ. White is by far the most popu-

| Speuous citizen OF this great State. North
| cru and Southern California vie with each
other in their eagerneSs for his election.
| He stands here to-day recognized through
out the broad domains of this State as an

either his public or private record.
| THE Democratic party offers him n OF
! only as its candidate but as a candidate of
the people. as man who will give equal
| representation to all our State in the halls
| OF our National Congress. A short time
ago national convention was held at the
metropolis Of Chicago. The people de-

/ Republican friends know the rest Our pnr-

The people have given US no such difficult
| task. Within the borders of this State
/ there are many men whose merit and excel
lence en- title them to aspire to seat in thu
/ Senate of the United States, but, by com.
| mon consent, there is but one candidate.
| He, by his talent, zeal and industry. has
