The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1894-06-20

nounced to the body Of the hall by the
music of the band. His passage down the
main aisle to the platform was an ovation
which ended in wild applause as the ex-
ecutive presented himself 10 the full view
of the assembly. Governor Markham is
at no tins an ordinary person in appear
ance. His face is a strong one, and his
eye steady and piercing. He never looked
to better advantage than to-day. He was
dressed in a black frock coat, light
trousers, white cravat. and a dainty red
rosebud with maidenhair fern formed a
small patch of color which relieved the
monotony of black and white.
The Governors speech was short and to
the point, and he laid stress on the fact
that his counsel was entitled TO weight, as
he was not a candidate for any office.
Now and again fash of humor started
the laughter Of the convention, as when in
the opening of his speech he facetiously
remarked, without other preface. What a
difference in The morning." referring to
the great increase in the size of the con-
vention.
After the Governors speech the various
committees were announced by Chairman
to meet again at II o'clock tomorrow
morning. Whether tomorrow will suffice
to accomplish the business OF the conven-
ton it is hard to say just now. With the
apparent death of all opposition to Estee,
there Is a chance that the nominations will
be run through without any great obstruc-
ton. One of the most important matters
in to-morrow's work will be the indorse-
ment or otherwise of Senator George c.
Perkins to succeed the late Leland Stan
ford.
The convention opened sharp at z
O'Clock. The immense octagonal in
closure In the agricultural building, cap
able of holding 2500 people, was crowded
to the canvas walls, which bulged and
cracked with the pressure of the great
crowd crushed against it. The 500 and
odd delegates to the convention flied into
their seats. making dull rumbllng sound
as they moved over the sawdust-coVered
aisles. and Chairman Meyers of the State
Central Committee called the meeting to
order.
Then the Sacramento Choral Society,
consisting of over dozen ladies. who
occupied positions on the platform, SANG
the "Star-spangled Banner" which was
received with tumultuOus applause and
wildly encored.
After the tumult abated by this song had
subsidized, Chairman Meyers made the fol.
lowing brief speech:
In response TO call made by the Republican
Stale Central Committee On May last we are
assent bled here. In this convention we are
called upon 10 nominate State ticket for our
party, and feel confident, gentlemen, that Won
appreciate the great Importance of this respon.
siblity and that your wise and careful deIIber.

upon which we can conscieniously 90 before

fed by the convention.

reelection that temptation at least is removed.
On taking my Office was obliged to decide
whether The Office should be run as political
bureau or be devoted exclusively 10 legitimate
State work, for knew that was not enough
of statesman or a good enough politician TO
run both together and do justice 10 either.
Therefore, the former was abandoned, and the
latter has had my undivided attention.
Gentlemen, have performed my work TO the
very best OF my ability. could do no better.
1 can do no more. l have given 10 the State
my best efforts, and have faithfully striven TO
redeem every pledge made by my party TO the
people of the State on my behalf; and gentle.
men, while l ask no concentrations at your
bands. do beg OF you and of the people of this
great State, irrespective OF party, to charge all
the defects of his administration, Of whatever
nature or degree, that properly belong TO the
chief executive, TO me, and me alone. for /

OF the term, and should be held responsible tor
my acts, and stand ready 10 assume that re-
sponsibiliIy. l have made mistakes. That Is
not only natural but it is too true. Yet. to be
frank with you, the mistakes that have been
urged TO make bv many of our party friends,
but did not make, Will outbalance them hun
dred fold.
The last State convention made great stride
in the right direction when it pledged the party
10 principles of economy in its administration.
1t was a severe pledge for me 10 make 10 the
people of this State, knowing as 1 do the ex-
traVagant laws in force. that taxation should
be limited TO 90 cents on the 500 of valuation,
and Notwithstanding that IL was impossible to
know what the valuation was TO be, it was new
ertheless a wise provision. Gentlemen, the
vetoing of nearly S2.000,O 600 in appropriation
bills was distastefu task for me in perform
ance and made me many enemies, but 1t had to
be done that our pledge might be kept and the
taxpayers interests protected. L think that
you should again place some reasonable limit
on expenditures beyond which your servants
should not 20. You should urge upon the next
Legislature The Importance Of remodeling the
laws concerning ali or nearly all of our State
institutions. AS they now stand each has law
and management unto itself. No TWO are alike.

indicates the want OF confidence existing
among our people generally, and that the action
OF the party in power is almost wholly RESPONSE.
bic for this present most deplOrable state can
not successfully be denied.
The Democratic party, with but fifteen
months of official life, has clearly demonstrated
It's inability to govern our country, but the
party that saved our land in 1865 and gave US
twenty years Of prosperity and iudicious
government may be safely relied upon 10 again
place our country upon the highest pedestal
among nations. In this great emergency of
our country we must and will carry this State; /;
we must and will carry every Congressional
district in this State and we can and Will have
a Republican majority In the next United States
Congress. The people see the mistake made In
1892, and now have the opportunity to bring
order and pros perlty out of chaos. Therefore,
let us lay down platform that Will meet with
the hearty approval OF every conscientious clti-
zen OF California. But let us not deceive our.
selves. We have no easy fight before u.s. and
we Republicans must not rest In our tents for
the present ne, as OF our nation require an old
time fight for victory.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Meyers speech
P. b. Cornwall made the motion nomnat-
ing George A. Knight as temporary chair
man of the convention. The presiding
officer put the motion, the delegates from
the northern counties voting mo" all along
the line. The motion was declared car
ried and Chairman Meyers appointed P.
B. Cornwall 10 escort George a. Knight to
the chair. AS the two mounted the steps
of the platform Chairman Meyers put the
question again as to the choice of tenn
pOrary chairman OF the convention. This
elieited only one loud mo" from the
ehn az
being almost an acclaim. AS soon as Mr..
knight reached the chair he said that the
convention would Immediately proceed to
business.

SACRAMENTO. June 19-Two district
conventions met almost Immediately upon
the adjournment of the general body. The
delegates marched from the pavilion down
to the Capitol building to dispose of the
burning question of the nominations for
Congress. The Second Congressional Dis
trict met in the Senate chamber. 1t was an
harmonious meeting, as there seemed TO
be no opposition to Grove L. Johnson.
Mr.. johnson was the choice of the body
from the beginning. and his slate went
through from the first. Collins of Chico
nominated Grove L. johnson and the Sac
ramento crowd stood firm. They wanted
johnson or nobody, and it was not long
before he was on the floor. He made a
Grove l.. johnson speech. He declared
that he was the candidate of the people of
the district, and he said that if he were
nominated ne would represent every fac
tion of the party in his district. He would
use every effort of which he was capable

encouraged with applause. In this great
mass of visitors the women were a con-
spicuous quantity. They cheered and
clapped with the rest and often the great
roars of applause which at times shook the
wooden rafters of the great pavilion were
inaugurated by the faint clappng of fair
hands. The enthusiasm was general.
The uncertainty of procrastination and
dissatisfaction was changed to seeming
understanding that certain things were TO
be done and would be done.
When the delegates filed on and took
their seats in their respective sections
with rumbling regularity. the noise re-
sembled the distant sound of breaking
waves on the beach, while the babel of
voices was fused into the indistinct sound.
AS was generally prognosticated before
the meeting, George knight was elected
chairman OF the convention. The opposi-
tion threat TO put Short into the chair was
as empty as the air. Knight, clad in a
gray business suit with the hirsute
growth of the best part of the week on his
strong jaws, was cheered 10 the echo on
taking his seat on the platform. Knight
was not dealing in any flowers of rhetoric.
His acceptance of the honor was brief and
to the point. He wound it up with the
terse remark:
What is your pleasure, gentlemen" ?"
Then the routine work of appointing
committees went on without opposition.
The motion to ask Governor Mark ham to
address the assemblage was received with
but little enthusiasm. and when the great
body Of delegates adjourned for twenty
minutes to await the Governors arrival,
the buzz and hun of 20O0 voices, occa-
sionally drowned by the music of the
band, the moving OF delegates across the
floor and the buttonholing in the loobies,
all contributed to make the scene one of
the most enlivening possible.
The Governors arrival was first an

What is Eczema :?
1t is an agony of agonies.
A torture of tortureS.

A torture OF tOrtureS.
1t is an itching and burning of the
skin almost beyond endurance.
1t is thousands of pin-headed veS-
icleS filled with an acrid fluid, ever
forming, ever bursting, ever flowing
upon the raw excoriated skin.
No part of the human skin is
exempt.
1t tortures, disfigures and hurnil-
iates more than all other skin diseases
combined.
Tender babies are among its most
numerous victims.
They are often born with it.
Sleep and rest are out of the
question.
Most remedies and the best ply
sicians generally fail, even to relieve.
If CUTICURA did no more than
cure Eczema, it would be entitled to
the gratitude of mankind.
1t not only cures but
A single application is often suffl-
cient to afford instant relief, permit

it is the most wonderful skin cure of

| It's difficult to discover just what the
Albuquerque Democrat is driving at in
the appended extract, from long
editorial In Sundays paper, but since it
is so extraordinary for that paper to
speak of Santa Fe and her institutions in
any but snappy, critical manner, we
take this, covert darts and all, as an in
dication that light is breaking in upon
the Democrat, and reproduce it in order
that the surface admissions of Santa Fe's
refining Influences shall have wider cir
culation than they possible could in the
oircumscribed limit within which revolves
the Albuq querque Democrat:
"The frankness that characterizes the
columns of the Morning Democrat, (the
statement is not made in boastful way,)
has spread, wonderful to relate, to cultur-
ed Santa Fe, the Athens of New Mexico.
Will not the gentleman who directs the
editorial policy of the New MEXICAN con-
fess his purpose to acknowledge his per-
sonal Indebtedness to the frnctified
territory after reading this paper?
With beautiful magnanimity he has ad-
mitted that his eagle eye and massive
brain are products of a long residence
in Santa Fe. What enviable commentary
on the resources of this territory. The
brain which moulds the popular thought
and action of New Mexico and which
originated the society department of the
New MEXICAN are homemade. There's a

pect in Cochiti."

had been seen at the very times the des-
perado was reported to be there. Mar
shall Loomis had been following Orono
for some time under the impression that
he was on the trail of Silva, and when he
finally ran him to earth in Pueblo he was
sure he had the right man. He answered
the description Of Silva in every way, but
when brought into United States Com
missioner Beaumont's Office yesterday
for Identification, and took off his hat,
Loomis Immediately said he was not
Silva, and he was discharged. The pc
culiar feature by which the difference was
so clearly established was the fact that
Silva had large circular spct on the
crown of his head which was entirely de-
void of hair--as bald as though he had
been scalF ed-whie Orono's heaa vas
completely covered with luxuriant
growth of hair. To be sure, the descrip-
tion of Silva stated that he had very
long beard, and Orona had very little,
but that cut no figure, as boards are
easily shaven off. But the large bald
spot could not be counterfeited and
Loomis was reluctantly compelled to re-
lease the prisoner he has worked SO long
and arduously to capture.
There is a story ahoat to the effect that
the real Silva left Pueblo several weeks
ago for Rouse in company with woman
with whom he became infatuated while in
this city.-Pueblo Chleftain.
