inee for Governor OF California APP
plause and cheers As l was saying
before, when my friend Mr.. Knight
attempted TO call me to order, IN a
republican convention there should be
no place for the exercise of the power OF
political bosses. Cries of You are
right" and applause.l When In the pro-
eeedings and deliberations of conven-
tiOn it is found that such influences are
attempting to control the representatives
or misrepresentation Of the people, then
is the time when every patriot who loves
his party and his country should rise and
give TO the convention some OF the MUIR
muring protests Of the people OF the
State.
L desire upon the platform upon which
l stand that we should have no boss from
the commencement 10 the end; we should
have freedom of thought, and every Re-
publican should have the right to exer-
else his individual judgment, and should
demand of the Republican party that no
man be permitted to put strings and
collars upon the necks OF the people.
LApplause. | place before you, gentle
men Of the convention, man who has at
times associated with the brightest stars
that bedecked the armament of the Re-
publican party; man who at the end OF
the war received the commendation of
that old warrior, Ulyssis 5. Grant APP
plausel; a man who has integrity and
who has ability; who has been vouched
for by those who controlled the powers of
the National Government at the time
when Grant was leading the Republican
hosts on to victory applausel; man who
Is not only able as a lawyer, honest as
citizen, but brave as a soldier in the time
OF our cOuntry's need Iapplausel: man
who with modesty and grace carries with
him the title of "GeneraP'; man, sol
der, citizen, upon whose escutcheon no
blot OF dlshonor can ever be found;
straightforward in his conduct with his
neighbors, loved and honored by those
who are about him.
With such a candidate as this before the
convention we should need no assistance
from those who claim TO hold in the
palms OF their hands the deSEnies OF an
entire party. [Applause.] Let me say to
you, gentlemen, without attempting to
encroach further upon your time, be-
ware! Beware of the wishes OF the peo-
pie. Let no gentleman assume the lead
ershlp OF our party unless he meets with
the united appreciation of the best men
IN the State. Let not your enthusiasm,
your desire to support an individual, let
nothing deter you from the purpose to
listen to the protests OF the people. Nom
mate General Chipman and he will lead
you to victory in the election next No

Judge E. V. Spencer of Lassen made
an eloquent address in seconding the
nomination of General Chapman. He
said it was many years since anything
had been passed around the Republican
table to the loyal adherents of that party
in the northern part of the State. They
had been fasting long time and were
quite hungry. He thought the proper
caper for the convention at this time was
to pass a little of the gubernatorial pud-
ding to Republican OF the north.
MR.. PRESTON Is NAMED.
J. J. Bullock of San Mateo:

Conventions 1t is with feelings of great
pleasure that / stand before you at this
time, and that the honor has been con-
ferred upon me to place in nomination
for the high office of Governor Of this
State man who, from his infancy, has
been resident Of California; a man who,
from his infancy and who, during his
early manhood, has been Republican; a
man who has stood by the rights of the
Republican party through thick and
thin; a man, gentlemen, who has never
sought any Office at your hands, and who
has for all time spent his time and his
money in behalf of the Republican party.

ward L. Preston of San Mateo. [Ap-
plause.
In placing Mr.. Preston before you we
represent the interior portion of this

myself in particular-as young man,
considering the crisis before the country
at this time, that you want young blood;
you want strong energy; you want a
man capable OF making fight. For,
gentlemen, deceive yourselves not. You
have no walkoyer at this time. And, al
though | have nothing TO say in deroga-
ton Of the men who have been placed be-
fore you, l will say this: That Edward
f. Preston will carry the Republican
banner to victory. He will roll up the
largest majority Of any candidate that
you can nominate, and. gentlemen, hs is
capable and worthy OF your support.
Gentlemen place before you for nom
ination for Governor Hon. Edward f.
Preston of San Mateo. Applause and
cheers.
Harry Morehouse of San Jose said
that be would not have appeared be-
fore the convention had it not been
stated that there were men in this con-
vention who wore the collar of a po-
litical boss. He wanted it understood
that he wore the collar of no political
boss, and that he was an ardent supporter
of Mr.. Estee.

Nh. Chairman, FTeEIo10- Repub Iica7aS and
Friends: As the Chairman has announced.
l am from Fresno, and desire to assure
you that feel very much at home in this
convention. desire, gentlemen, to place
in nomination another name for Governor

three men in this entire State considered
equally competent for the office of Gov
ernor In coming here to place before this
convention the name of an honored citi-
zen of this State for the highest Office in
it's Gift, do something that did not ex-
pect to do when l took my seat in this
convention this morning. l beg to say
to you that l hope the clouds are rolling
by, I desire to state, that whatever |
[ shall say in naming my favorite, who
comes more from the south, shall say
with charity TO all and malice toward
none [Applause.l
Fellow Republicans, 1 came here to
name a gentleman who would be hon
ored by that position and who would in
turn honor the office. We have at pres
ent no dissensions. We have nothing
against the other gentlemen who have
been presented. But desire to call your
attention to the fact that we stand here
to-day as the free, independent and un-
controlled representatives of the greatest
party that ever dominated any country.

Gentlemen of this convention, the Re-
publican party was born from the soil of
this country and belongs to all of her
people. The Republican party represents
no special interest. The Republican
party is not party of trusts or combines.
