THE FUN BEGINS.
Mr.. Savage of San Francisco-Mr.
Chairman, move to amend by striking
out that portion OF the report which states
that all resolutions shall be referred to
the committee without debate. will re-
mark that this is an evident attempt to
gag this convention.
The motion was seconded, and then
stated by the Chair.
Mr.. Goddard OF San Francisco said:
II hope, Mr.. Chairman, the motion lust
made by the gentleman will prevail. [
have a resolution that | intend to offer to
this convention, and, without debate, it
has no standing. l will not delay the
convention by any argument now, but l
ask you gentlemen, one and all, to sup
port that motion"
Mr.. Savage said: "Mr. Chairman, 1
believe l ought to be heard in support
of this motion. I will state that this por-
ton which has been inserted in the re-
port of the committee should have no
place in the report of the Committee on
Permanent Organization. If the debate
in this convention was to be closed, it
should have been closed yesterday by
resolution passed to that effect. It is only
an endeavor 10 tack on to the report of the
Committee on Permanent Organization
something which, if it was to be done at
all, should have been done yesterday.
There was mistake made"
Mr.. O'Brien of San Francisco said:
''Mr. Chairman, desire, in behalf of the
Republican party of this State, that we
shall have free and unlimited scope for
debate upon this floor. Applause. We
claim, sir, that we are endowed with the
same faculties as that committee, not
withstanding their paramount intelli-
gence; and we desire to speak for the in
terests of the Republican party, and that
party alone. Applause. We shall have
no star-chamber proceedings here, Mr..
Chairman. We desire to ventilate mat
ters. Let us have fair play. Support the
amendment, and then we will show you
our reasons why we wanted it sustained"
RIPPLE OF EXCITEMENT.
Mr.. Blennerhassett of Tehama-Mr.
Chairman and gentlemen of the conven-
ton: The white winged angel of purity
is abroad in the land. You can on the
floor of this convention to-day almost
hear the beating Of its wings. | ask you,
the Republican party of the great State of
California, ought we to be shut Oft from
debate. from defending the rights of the
people OF this State, and to be gagged by
any crowd on the floor of this conven-
ton? Applause. L don't care who
comes here to lead the Republican party.
l claim to say that bosses were made for
States in their swaddling clothes; but
California, fellow-cltizens, has attained
her majority. [Great applause.l Who is
this man that dares to come to this con-
vention and say to me l have not the
right of free speech? Who is this Caesar?
1 ask you. tellow-citizens, are we here to
have the lash applied to our bare backs
and quietly submit to the dictation of one
man? Aye, of any 800 men? Applause.
Now, say this man from San Francisco
to-day is pulling the strings of another
DELEGATE CALLED DOWN.
