It was 1880 o'clock yesterday morn

the platform and said:
Mr.. Chairman, Gentlemen of the Con-
vention: 1t is with the greatest pleasure
that l appear before this convention this
morning after the first great contest has
been settled. The contending forces that
met here yesterday and decided upon a
leader In the coming campaign came to-
gether last night, and we are here this
morning happy family, a united party,
declaring that the judgment of this con-
vention in putting Morris NJ. Estee in
nomination to lead US to victory, was the
wisest that could be made. Applause.
Gentlemen of the convention, l believe
that | represent the sentiment of the
younger Republicans of California when
/ say that we have a great leader in the
man who has been nominated, and the
young Republicans of this State are de-
lighted that the moment has arrived
when the young Republicans of Calitor
MIA can do simple justice to the man that
has fought their battles so long. 1t has
been said that old men are the ones for
counsel, but it has also been truthfully
said that we must have young men for
war.
Mr.. President, rise here to put in
nomination for the Office of Lieutenant
Governor young man from the County of
Los Angeles lapplausel; an able lawyer,
learned and trained parlianentarian; a
man without a spot upon his record; a
man who has never been candidate for
any office, and is the candidate of no
clique or faction, but of the Republicans
of that section of the country. He is
typical of that young and growing Sec
ton.
I put in nomination, gentlemen of the
convention, s. @. Millard of Los An
geles. Applause and cheers.
Mr.. st. Clair of San Bernardino Sec
onded the nomination of s. @. Millard.
There being no other nominations, it
was moved to name Mr.. Millard for the
position by acclamation. but before the
vote was put he was called to the platform
and made one of the most telling speeches
of the convention. He is young man,
small in stature, smoothly shayen, but of
commanding presence. He has a fluent
and eloquent address, and speaks with
all the ease and grace of an oldtime or
ator. His speech, in full. was as follows:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention: As was said here by one of the
speakers. for the first time my name has
been presented before a convention as
