| little Introduction at my hands. He iS
| identified with the progress of the State
/ OF California. lie represents its energy
its enterprise and it's industry. Coming
to the State at a tender age he has by his
lndomitable viii and pluck raised him
sell from the position of a poor newsboy
to the proprietorship of the leading Re-
| publican journal west of the Mississippi

s lapIStatiOn if Gbp 6aSirao fo h.
! milton from the Federal Government TO
! which her population, her wealth. her in
! dustrles and her commerce entitle her
! The members of this House were elected
! on platform that favors the free and un-
/ limited coinage OF silver at the ratio OF Is
to /. and every person on the Pacific
| Coast knows how the candidate whom |
| have the honor TO nominate stands upon
| this question which is of such vital in
| terest to the entire country. The gentle
/ man has also represented not only Cali
tornia but the entire Government of the
! United States in various responsible and
/ honorable capacities: notably as Commis-
| sioner OF the United States to the
! Paris Exposition; as Commissioner
and Second Vice President Of the
! Colum bian Exposition in Chicago: as

! of these capacities he has acquitted him
! self with credit and honor. But, above
and beyond all this he believes in Cali
| fornia and California's future. His inter
! ests are here; his means are invested
! here, and say it as member from San
! Francisco that he was the pioneer in the
| construction OF those magnificent build
/ ings which now adorn our city's streets,
/ for 1 believe the Chronicle building was
! the first modern Office building erected in
! San trancISco. He has always taken tho
| lead In advancement and progress. There
! has never been a faint of silurianism in
! his entire composition. l know he viii
! work increasingly for the State, which I
/ believe he Will have the honor to repre-
sent. and know that every member of
| this house will feel proud 10 have voted
for hlm when his term of Office shall
! have expired. Isolated as we are from
| the majority OF the States, our wants have
! too frequently been overlooked; but [
know that with him in the Senate our
rivers and hsrbors Will be provided for,
our public buildings will receive atten-
ton from the national authorities, and
we viii get some return for the millions
of dollars California annually pours into
the national treasury in the shape OF
taxes.
Gentlemen, have the honor to pre-
sent the name Of NJ. FL. de Young of San
francisco" Applause.
