State affairs a statesman, not a politician,
who could put into operation those reforms
of State government which are now abso-
lutely essential. He has the sympathies of
honest men, and his nomination will in
form the people that we are the true
enemies of monopoly, and secure the sue
cess of the party at the polls"
Il don't know yet whether the gentle
man whom ] favor will receive this nomi-
nation or rnot," said Robert Ferral in Sec
onding the nomination Of James G.
Mcguire, "but do know that it is much
easier to get a sound anti-railroad plat
form than to get an anti-rairoad candi-
date. [ indorse all the good things that
have been said of Mr.. Murphy and Mr..
Budd. and l remember that all these
things apply to the man whom ! second.
That will do for a starter"
Mcguire was termed Democrat from
principle, not one from policy. AS a
member of the Legislature his record had
been stainless. AS Judge on the bench
his record was pure. In all positions in
which he had been tried the verdict had
been. well done. thou good and faithful
servant"
IN the old Fourth Congressional Dis
trict, which had the honor of trying to
carry in vaiD." continued Mr.. Ferral, she
picked up the banner soiled with the dust
of defeat aud carried it to victory wi tn
100 majority"
Maguire's record in Congress was eulo-
gized. and the speaker continued: James
&. Mcguire wants to be Governor. 1t is
! the ambition of his life. He has fairly
won the honor. He can carry the flag to
victory If anybody can. The Democratic
resolution passed by standing vote en-
titles him to this recognition. L am for
James g. Mcguire, the radical Democrat
and the typical embodiment of anti-rail-
road Democracy"

name of Dennis Spencer of Napa to the
convention. When the historic name of
Murphy of Santa Clara was m entioned,

of pride. The chivalric ana gallant Budd
of San Joaquin was a source of satisfac-
ton and pride, "and." continued the
speaker, "the name presented by the gal
liant Ferral of San Francisco carries with
il all the weight that has been claimed ::
ON ASOA Sho1 VIC PlOpCI has uUI yet
been named" With this he presented the
name Of Dennis Spencer of Napa, which
was received with cheers; and continuing
the speaker said: Il am not a Boswell
l do not know his biography. l have
heard it suggested that he came from Mis-
souri,. hope you won't hold that against
him. [Laughter.] know that he lived In
Solaro for many years; that he has his
residence in Napa, and that he is as much
at home in San Francisco as anywhere,
and that he is, above all. citizen of this
great Commonwealth. There are no head
quarters for my candidate. l don't know
whether he will be nominated ON the first
ballot or not, but Spencer's name has been
most frequently mentioned for the nom-
ination oil Governor"
ellis Doty of Sacramento seconded the
nomination of Spencer The anti-monop.
oily vote. the speaker declared, which
naturally belonged to the Democrats,
would be divided this year. He wanted a
man named who had stood shoulder to
shoulder with the working people and
farmers of California. California wanted
Governor of the people.
'The Governor of California" concluded
Mr.. Doty, must be one who will protect
the people. who will look after the poor,
for the rich can always care Tor them
Selves"
