deavoring to show that il Morris NJ
Estee is supported by that power W
can nominate someone not so sup
ported"
Chairman Knight, who was on tn
floor, here called the speaker to orde
and a scene OF great confusion and up
roar ensued. When Hart was hnalll
allowed to proceed, he continued:
This is the fret time in poitica
convention l have ever seen an attemp
to throttle honest debate when speak.
err is attempting to give reasons why Z
gentleman should or should not he in
fiuenced to act in certain ways. pro
pose to go on. with the consent OF this
convention. In a Republican couven-
ton there should be no place for the
exercise OF the power of political bosses
and no room for such men to influence
the representatives or misrepresenta-
tives OF the people. Every patriot
should then respond to the protests Of
the people,"
The speaker continued in this vein for
short time, and then changed his tone,
and brought General Chapman before
the convention as man who bad 1850
ciated with the brightest stars that be-
deck the armament OF the Republican
party. who had received commentator
from the warrior statesman. U. 5. Grant.
1.-THE man l am to name," he con-
tinued, lis able as a lawyer, honest as
citizen, and wac brave as a soldier in
the time of his country's need. With
modeety and grace he carries the title
of general soldier-citizen who has no
blot of dishonor on his escutcheon. He
lie honored and revered by oil who know
him. With such candidate we need
no assistance from those who claim to
hold in the palm OF their hands the des-
TIMES of the Republican party. Beware !
Bewarei Let no general assume the
leadership Of the one party until he re-
ceives the appreciation OF the party
throughout the state. Let nothing di-
vert you from a high purpose. Nomi-
nate General Chapman and he will carry
you to victory in November"
KNIGHTS NOMINATING SPEECH.
In nominating MIR. Estee, Mr.. knight
said:
"GENrLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION l
wish to talk to you as an individual.
Standing before you ss do can read
the criticism which may run through
your minds at my position here. l am
not unmindful of the past, neither have
forebodings of the future. l am Re-
publican. friend of Morris N. Estee.
1t is pleasure from the standpoint of
man who has viewed politics in years
past, and California politics are not I'M
known to me, to stand here surrounded
by faces which are as familiar to me as
those in my home. l place Estee in
nomination in full knowledge of all the
criticisms that may be made by the
Democracy from one end of the state to
the other. If you had seen, as l saw,
Morris M. Estee at the head OF the
greatest political convention that ever
met, you would have gone for him en-
masse and nominsted him for any Office
in your gift. l was proud of California.
One OF its citizens had risen to the
mountain tops, the equal of any states
man in the United States. 1t was with
pride that l saw him in the
councils of the statesmen of his
party. You who remember when the
policy OF the nation and the Republican
party was assaulted by man now in the
United States senate, you know that
Mr.. Estee was the only man who came
forth to beard the lion in his den, with
cut money and without price, from the
early dawn to the setting sun, Republi-
can principles were put forth and pro-
pounded by that man 30 that any child
might know the faith of the Republican
party and that Republicans might refer
with understanding and pride TO it's
record. These are moments OF counsel.
This is the hour when the party is bigger
than any man. Its principles will live
when we have joined the silent majority.
| appeal to you not to heed the slren
song of those in camp who never I'M
folded the banner OF the Republican
party, who do not dwell upon the
achievements of Lincoln and Grant; but
do you heed those who know nj. NJ.
Estee and know that he has the intelli'
gence and conviction to proclaim princi-
Piles that will live forever. l know that
victory awaits US, and in the confidence
of success l submit Morris M. Estee to
the convention and ask that he be nom.
mated"
EsTEE'S SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE.
In accepting the nomination for gov.
ernor, Mr.. Estee said: '1 find myself
bankrupt in words to express my deep
appreciation of the distinguished honor
you have conferred on me. l am one of
those who believe than any OF the gen.
temen against me could have been
6I6Cbcu huu tb0 hOAuiAOO WOuld h6NO hhO
my earnest. continual and unceasing
support. believe in the great Repub-
lican party. 1t has the most splendid
pages in the history of parties. It's past
is great and its honors great, but its
work is not ended. 1t is not ready to
surrender to the enemy. The Republi-
can party is armed for the contest and
it will form the head of the Republican
line that marches on to great victories
this year throughout the nation. Cali
fornia is entitled to be a Republican
state. California industries are injured
by the present Democratic administra-
ton more than any other state. 1t ia an
absolute necessity that we have ompeti-
ton by land and sea that our producers
may earn a livelihood. If we fail in this
and besides afflicted by the calamity of
free trade, our industries will be in
ruins.
I'm conclusion I say that whatever
good have done, in this convention l
will promise to do not one thing which
will bring discredit upon its action or
discredit upon the Republican party.
Victory shall bring no disgrace and de-
feat no dishonor."
