II declare Morris NJ. Estee the nominee
of this convention" announced the chair
man.
Colonel Jackson moved that the vote be
made unanimous, and when the chairman
could make himself heard the motion was
carried by acciamation. There was pro-
longed cheering, in which Colonel Burns
took part He held his hat aloft along
with the other frantic San Franciscans,
and stood with them through the pro-
Ionged ovation to the man who had once
more been made the party's standard
bearer. There were yells of "Estee,"
"Estee," "Estee." and knight responded
that he would appoint a committee to es-
cort the nominee to the platform. He
named Judge Scher, w. S. Barnes and
Judge Davis of Amador. Mr.. Estee was
in the hall and was soon facing the con-
vention. AS soon a the enthusiasm
which Knights brief Introduction of the
leader had provoked had somewhat SUBJ
sided, MI EsIee said:
Il find myself bankrupt for words to ex-
press my appreciation of the honor which
you have conferred upon me. L am one
who believes that any one of the gentle
men who were placed in nomination be-
fore this convention could have been
elected. He would have had my most
earnest support. l believe in the Republi-
can party. l do not believe that it is pre-
pared this year, in the midst of all the
national caamities, to surrender its fight
0r shrink from the responsibilities that
may he thrust upon it. California is for
the Republican party. 1t will lead the
party this year. 1t is of all States
the most seriously injured by the Demo-
cratic party. We must have communica-
ton by land and by sea for the transpcrta-
tiOn of its products. We are about TO
enter on canvass for sustenance, a can
yass for the cause Of the people. l can
only say right here that whatever may
happen by 70 act of mine will / do one
thing to bring dishonOr on the Republican
party. l shall not detain you longer with
a speech at this time
Estee spoke only a few moments. He
seemed tired and looked as though the ex-
element of the past few weeks had broken
mis- strength. The San Francisco gang
took up their cry Of ''Estee is the man for
me" and on motion of Dorn the conven-
ton adjourned to tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock
