"Mr. Estee is an able. vigorous. liberal
and broad-minded man of very consider
able intellectual qualifications and attain
ments, and / feel assured that his candi-
dacy will meet with the appreciation of a
large majority Of our business men of the
State, and after a careful canvas of the
county, verbally and through cor
respOndence, being guided also by the eX-
pressious of delegations TO the convention,
] am of the opinion that il will be for the
best interests of the party that he should
be nominated and | earnestly hope that
my friends will join with us in this move

When Samuel Thornton returned from
Southern California he was kept busy

although no positive sentiment is fixed
in the popular mind in Southern Califor-
MA regarding the Governorship," said he,

Governor. Also that Estee was one of the
best men, one of the hardest workers in
the party, and entitled to reward, though
the least rewarded Indeed the latter
sentiment of thinking men in the party is
that he ought 10 be elected as ne would give
a sale, honest and credltable adminlstTa-
ton. OF course this is not unanimous in
all ranks, but it does prevail among the
good eOple.
with regard to the Supreme bench
San Diego IS strong for Turence The Los
Angeles delegation is instructed to vote for
Mckinley. In my opinion Los Angeles is
more anxious for the State Board of
Equalization and the Railroad Commits
sloners, and if it can make a combination
it will throw up the Judge and swap.
Notwithstanding the Endorsement of
Mckinley, / have good reason to believe
the delegation is not unanimously in his
favor, for there is certainly difference o
opinion on this matter"
