The morning call., 1894-06-19

organization of women in this State called
the Woman's Relief Corps. / know these
women. all. They are the most persistent
pestiferous crowd you ever saw. Laugh
teri If they make dead set against q
man he may as we'll put on his bonnet and
shawl and go home. TYelis of laughter
There are more women of the Grand
Army of the Republic, and they are worse
than the Woman's Relief Corps. Laugh
teri
Now. when Mr.. Estee was in the Legis-
lature-a statesman in job laughter ]-he
had a right to do it; but when Congress
sent out the fourteenth amendment he
voted against it. Is there a colored man
in the State that would vote for him. II
there is he ought to be back in the junges
of Africa fighting all day and bowling all
night.
Men like Estee have records and cannot
get away from them. MIR. Estee was in the
anti-boycott assemblaGe. the most stupid
thing that was ever got together. No man
ever got into 1t without getting into a
scrape. He has got record there, and
that makes 1t most undesirable for us to
push him at this time. There is another
reason. Kelly had a horse that always
ran just we'll enough to be beaten. Mr..
Estee has been beaten. would rather
have a man nominated whom the Demo-
Gratis didn't like. They are supporting &
Mr.. Esiee too freely. After the election
they will say rats! Everything of his
record will be raked up until he looks like
a skirt.dancer surrounded by the Demo-
cratic convention of 1871 and the platform
af al of
81 am not disgruntled because a young
man related to me by marriage [loDg con-
tinued laughter and applause]- this
young man. who was elected to an Office
with more votes than both his opponents,
and whose late candidacy I assented to
because l thought that he would draw the
young enthusiasm of the State around
him, but who withdrew like gentleman,
is not to be nominated; but there are
others besides Mr.. Estee. If he wants
Office let the President of the next Repub-
lican administration give him one; but
don't let US go before the people and ask
them to give him anything. for they won't.
l see no evidence of this prodigious de-
mand for Mr.. Estee. [Applause.] don't
see it. [Applause.] l think it is a bluff of
Colonel Burns, and want you gentlemen
to call it. Mr.. Estee's friend, Mr.. Knight,
said that IL l dared discuss these questions
he'd burn me up. l thought then that he
hadn't spot on his body big enough to
strike match to do 1t. Roars of laugh
teri l stand here to-day as an American
citizen to protest against the methods OF
primary election which sends delegates
here under orders and which is formed on
trading basis. Every man has right tc
say whom he wants for Governor, but he
has no right to jolly me out of my choice
This convention should not come together
to select the choice of boss, whether the
motive be good or bad. Such a boss
were 1t Moses himself, is no better
than Buckley. Crimmns, sKelIy or even
Colonel Burns himself. IApplsuse.
When suggested the Endorsement of the
convention l took the cue from the na.
tlonal Republican convention. A small
convention is easy for political jobbery
The larger the convention the less chance
for 1ugglery. You are here to choose, mol
to bend to that spawn of hell-a pro.
gramme. A convention that submits to a
programme is Marionet tied to a string
