"'rherefore, the party council repre-.
eenting the political principle OF the
majority, and in a~higher sense, all the
people, expresses for itself and those
whom it represents the sense OF bereave-
ment that imprasses the state in the
death of Leland Stanford. the fret Re
publican governor and the foremost citi.
zen OF California, who has been taken
from us since the last meeting OF our
party in convention.
''All the thoughtful people of this

life the motive was helpfulness to others
and honorable to himself.
ut lie ordered that a copy OF these
sentiments be certified by the secretary
of this convention and forwarded to
Mrs. Stanford"
Mr.. Phelps obtained the floor and
eulogized the late Senator Stanford in
high terms. He dwelt particularly
upon Stanford's record as governor and
upon his philanthropy, particularly in
reference to the institution OF the Stan
ford university.
Morehouse of Santa Clara endorsed
Ms. Phelps remarks and referred direct
to the ''cowardly, dsstardly and unwsr-
ranted" attack recently made upon the
senator by Representative Geary. and
he asked that Geary be rebuked by the
rising silent vote of the convention.
At the behest of the chairman, the
delegates arose as one man and the reso-
luton was declared unanimously
adopted.
SOP FOR THE CoLoRED VOTER.
A colored delegate from Los Angeles
then cent forward q resolution declaring
that the colored citizens of California
should be recognized in the distribution
Of appointiFe state Offices. The chair
man announced that the resolution was
not in order unless with the unanimous
consent of the convention. The author
OF the resolution misunderstood him
and started to advocate it's merits. A
little laughter ensued, but kindly dis
posed delegate asked that the conven-
ton suspend the order of business and
consider the resolution. 1t was so or
dered and the resolution was carried
with a cheer.
BLENNERHAssET sQUELCHED.
Blennerhasset of Tehama who made
the sensational faux pas yesterday
started to take advantage of the general
good humor of the convention to get in
a resolution himself, and he sent it up
to the secretary, but there were loud
calls for the regular order and the chair
promptly declared that nominations for
secretary OF state was the next business
OF the convention. Mr.. Blennerhasset
took back his resolution unread.
BROWN FOR SECRETARY CT STATE.
Ayouthful looking delegate from San
Francisco took the platform and in a
few we'll. chosen words, nominated L. H.
Brown of San Francisco, present clerk
of the supreme court. 1t was expected
that fight would be made by E. q.
Waite, the incumbent. But his name
was not mentioned. Brown was nom
mated by reclamation. He appeared
and gave the convention a chance to
cheer at few remarks OF thanks.
CONTROLLER CoLGAN RENoMINATED.
The nomination for controller was
likewise speedily disposed of. E. P.
Colgan of Sonoma, the incumbent, was
chosen by reclamation.
RADCLIFFE FOR TREASURER.
The first contest of the afternoon was
over the treasurership. Three nominees
were voted for-Henry Hook of Contra
Costa. III. g. Ostrander of MERGED and
Levi Radcliffe of San Luis Obispo. The
word was passed around that Radcliffe
had the support of Colonel Burns and
the San Francisco delegation. Just as
the roll was about to be called dele
gate with q technical turn of mind
called the attention of the chairman to
the fact that the candidates had not
been called upon to show themselves,
according to rule. The three candi-
dates, therefore. made bows to the con-
vention and spoke briefly. Radcliffe re.
Ceived the nomination on the first bal
lot, the vote resulting: Radcliffe, AS;
Ostrander, 200; Hook, 1877.
FITZGERALD FOR ATToRNEY-GENERAL.
A lively contest DEVELOPED over the
Sttorney-generalship. The candidates
were Judge W. F. Fitzgerald OF San
Francisco, now on the supreme bench;
Thomas L. Carothers of Mendecino and
Oregon Sanders.
The nominating speeches were nu-
merous and too many tiresome, so that
an impatient delegate finally moved
the nominations close. The chairman
was about to put the motion when
Drury Malone of San Francisco asked
the indulgence of the convention for
few remarks. There were many noisy
demsnds for roll call and bowls OF mo
Mol but Mr.. Malone persisted and made
a neat little speech in behalf of Fitz-
gerald and the Twenty-eighth district,
which he declared cast more votes with
iees voters than any district in the state,
and had also raised more money and
distributed it for the public good thar
any other.
The candidates were then called for
and Oregon Sanders came forward. Mr..
Sanders was mildly sarcastic and init.
mated that the convention was not here

decree already made days, perhaps
weeks, ago. He also paid high tribute
