81 want to state to the delegates of this
convention" he said, ''why it was that
the judiciary committee recommended Bar
clay Henley in preference to the nominees
of the Democratic or Republican cOnyen-
tons. 1t is this: 1t may be possible that
we, as reformers, will find it necessary to
iGdici-indict. l said, notice the word-in-
|
kainey, or some Of those directly or indi-
rectly connected with them. l put it 10
you if it is possible that one of the nomi-
nees of either of these two conventions
would indict. or have any hand in indict-
ing. or file an information against any one
| Of these men named.
1--WE all know the history of the Wal
lace Grand Jury, and the man on that
ticket tonight is Barclay Henley, the
foreman of the Wallace Grand Jury. he
is the man who drove Buckley and
Rainey out of the country. lie is the kind
of a man that the reform convention
needs for its District Attorney"
The speaker went on to say that they
needed a man in that Office who feared no
one, who never paused for any consider
alton in his duty. He continued:
1--WE have here tonight man who has
never paused. That man is Barclay Hen
ley. tile foreman of the Wallace Grand
Jury. You all know Judge Wallace. You
Endorsed him. You made him your Judge
over and over again. In the name of al
that is just and proper, in the name OF
this convention and of the principles we
are called upon TO inculcale, in the name
Of the downfall OF bossism, which is more
powerful and more pregnant to us than
any other question, ask you that yor
nominate tonight that hero of heroes
that man who stood in the breach when nc
man could he called upon to do what he
had done. Barclay Henley. the foreman oil
the Wallace Grand Jury"
When the applause which had greeted
Mr.. Sullivan,s remarks died away. Dele.
gate a. II. Loughborougb, another mem.
Der of the Judiciary committee got the
floor. He said that committee had frs,
asked Judge W allare, the first Attorney,
General Of California. to accept the nomi
nation, and failing him. had called upon
his lieutenant. as foreman Of the famous
Grand Jury, Barclay Henley. They Of

didn't ask it, and knew nothing about it.

Loughborougb. sin the prosecution Of the
men that we wish to drive ont Of the Staif
