Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, Mar II, 1895
AS already tele gra phed to The Star the
third district republicans nominated Lieut.
Gov. Alfred Mines of Coldwater for Con-
sress to succeed julius Caesar Burrows
promoted to the Senate. There were six
candidates in the field, and it required III
ballots TO decided the contest. Mr.. Mines
will undoubtedly be elected, but will fall
far short of the 1000 majority which MI
Burrows received last November. The lead
ing candidate against Mines was Smith Of
Calhoun county, and the fact that Rev.
Washington Gardner,also of Calhoun coun-
~, threw his strength to Mines leaves n
sore spot in Calhoun county, which will
manifest Itself on election day. The con-
Eention adopted resolution which, while
il has a silver leaning. straddles the issue
IN much the same manner does the state
platform. 1t recites that I'VE believe in
the largest possible use Of silver consistent
with the maintenance of oar national cred
il, and that We also believe in the use CT
both gold and silver as the money of our
nation, and thai silver should lie restored
to its time-honored position in the nation s
f:ia:oeG.
Mr.. Mines, the nominee, was born in
England, fifty years ago, and with his par
ents, who had imbibed the Mormon faith,
he came to this country in 1850. landing at
New Orleans. and went to Utah by way of
the Mississippi river and overland from St
Louis. Five years ill the Mormon kingdom
was enough for the Mines family, and in
1850 they came east and located at Cold
water, in this state. Alfred Mines served
four years in the army, and after the war
returned to Coldwater and engaged in the
grocery and produce business with mis-
father, and in time succeeded to the bust
ness, and is still in it.
He has acquired a comfortable fortune
in trade; can tell the age of egg On
sight, and is well up on the quality of but
ter. He has been alderman and mayor of
Coldwater, served two terms in the state

Thousands March in Line and Tens OF
Thousands Cheer.
Long before the hour set for the parade
she visitors, augmented by thousands
who arrived Sunday evening, thronged
the principal streets Of the oity, admiring
the decorations and securing points OF
vantage, from which to view the great
Carnival parade. Such q gathering has
never before been seen In Sacramento
Various estimates as to the number OF
visitors were made, the lowest guesser
fixing the number at 50, 600.
Every spare inoh of pavement wss:oc-
cupied by the jostling, laughing revelers,
who were packed like ssrdines in box,
while every window along the line was
held at premium. Hundreds Of car
riages lined the streets. the occupants OF
which thoroughly enjoyed the parade
safe from the crush in which their breth-
ren were partaking. The grand stand at
the Plaza was packed to oyerfowing,
and a continuous cheering introduced
ard followed the parade throughout its
sntire length-and it was long.

| The Grand Parlor of 1881, in San Fran
cisco, made the Past Grand Presidents
Nom bers OF the Grand Parlor, with all
rights and privileges of delegates.
In 1882 the Grand Parlor at Sacramento
limited the privileges of Psst Grand
Presidents who retained a continuous
mem bership in the order The right of
| the Fast Grand Presidents to a full seat in
the Grand Parlor was a subject of con-
siderable contention in the Grand Par
lofs OF 1882 ana 1883 in Sacramento and
San Francisco, aud very determined eff
forts were made TO repeal the amendment
| OF 1881. but the efforts were Intellectual,
ana those Grand Psrlors declined to dis
pense with the counsel and the presence
OF their honored past grand officers; In
!ooi' however, the resolution OF Grand
presidents A. +. jones deprived all the
Senior Past Grand Presidents of the
privilege OF voting at the election of
grand officers.
Repeated efforts have been made to re-
strict delegates to Past Presidents, but
invariably without success: as early as
lSoU amendments to that effect were pro-
posed, and IN nearly every Grand Parlor
since that time has the idea found chsm-
plons, Dut the sentiment has always been
decidedly in favor of leaving the selection
OF delegates to the judgment OF the par
Iors, with the least possible restriction; in
the beginning all mem bers in good stand
ing were eligible; In 1883 delegates must
nave been members of the parlor they
represented for one year, and in 1855 8
years mem bership in the order was suili-
Client TO entitle all ambitious mem bers in
good standing TO election. The Grand
Parlor or 1882 provided that no proxies
should be recognized, but that alternates
might be elected; in 1887, at Nevada City,
IL was provided that alternates should
possess the same qualifications and be
elected In the same manner as delegates,

HISTORY OF THE ORDER.
CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH
IT WAS ORGANIZED.
Fundamental Principles Underlying
the Order of the Native Sons of
the Golden West.

The Society of the Native Sons of the
! tual benefit, mental improvement and
social intercourse of its memb bers; to per-
petuate in the minds of all native Cali
| fornians the memories of one OF the most
wonderful epochs in the worlds history
the days of '49-to unite them in one
harmonious body throughout the State by
the ties of q friendship mutually bene-
ficial to all, and unalloyed by the bitter
ness of religious or political difference,
the discussion of which is most stringent
| ly forbidden in its meetings; to elevate
and cultivate the mental faculties; to re-
ioice with one another in prosperity,
and to extend the Good Samaritan"
hand in adversely.
The mem bers must bear good reputa-
ton for sobriety and industry; they must
follow some respectable calling by which
to make a living, and, as vital principle
of the association, it encourages temper
ance among its members and recon-
meuds total abstinence from all intoxi-
eating drinks.
Upon these principles and with these
purposes in view the constitution OF the
first parlor, then known by the simple
appellatlOn OF Native Sons OF the Golden
West, was drafted.
General A. NJ. WinD, who conceived
the idea of the formation OF the society,
drafted the first constitution; it was a
simple instrument that, at that time,
scarcely contemplated the formation of
branches outside of San Francisco; true,
some of the older heads saw the possibil
ity of extension at some future time, but
their earlier efforts were solely devoted
10 the cultivation Of their own organiZa-
ton. The constitution declared that the
name of the organization should be Ma
tive Sons of the Golden West, that its
objects were social Intercourse, mental
! improvement, mutual benefit, and the
general promotion OF the interests of its
mem bers.
Its active membership should be con-
| fined to males over is years of age, who
were born in California. or west of the
Sierra Nevada Mountains, after the 9TH
day of July. 1916. being the day on which
Commodore Sloat raised the American
| flag in the city of Monterey.
| 1t provided that the society could elect
| honorary members in consideration OF
valuable services or contributions; and.
| further that the officers should be a
| President, three Vice-Presdents, Re-
cordng Secretary, Financial Secretary,
Treasurer. Marshal and an Executive
Committee of five, who were to be eected
| semi-annually by ballot, and hold office
until their successors were elected and
qualified. The thirteen officers consti-
tuted Board of Trustees, and managed
the concerns OF the association as re-
quired by the State laws and company
bylaws.
Tho powers and duties of the officers
were to be those incident to their respect
i've positions, and could be fixed and de-
fined in by-laws passed by majority
vote of the mem bers present at regular
meeting, or a special one called for that
purpose.

After the Parade.

The Literary Exercises at the Plaza
After the Parade.
At the conclusion of the parade, literary
exercises were held at the City Plaza, pre-
sided over by Past Grand President
Frank d. Ryan.
After music by the Militant Band, the
President introduced Mayor b. U. Stein
man, who addressed the large assem- blage
in the following language:
ITO the Native Sons and Daughters of
the Golden West, to their friends and all
the visitors within our limits, who have
come to celebrate the admission of Cali
fornia as a sovereign State into the Amer
lean Union, L. as Mayor of the city of
Sacramento, and in its name, extend
hearty welcome.
1.-The pioneers of California many of
whom have laid down their life work, but
many OF whom, still spared, were in your
procession to-day, saw the site where the
city How stands barren, uninhabited
plain. Through their efforts against bat
lies with fire and flood, n splendid city
has been built, and through the efforts of
their sons and daughters tho city will
grow until 1t is the pride and glory of
California. In the early days OF this State.
Sacramento was the point from which
men set out in search of gold; here was
formed the design for transconlinental
railroad which was brought to compile
ton by Sacramento men. and now Sacra-
mento is again TO the front in the march
of progress with her vast electric power,
the admiration OF California and the won
der OF the world. Holding the lamp of
prosperity i'll her hand. decked in her
Carnival colors, and with Progress as
her motto, she bids you all welcome,
hearty welcome, to all she has to show
and offer within her gates, and asks you
to join with her in celebrating the birth
of the New Sacramento.'
The Mayors address was responded to
by Grand President Frank II. Dunno of
San Francisco. who paid a glowing trib-
ute to the enterprise and hospitality of
this city. The speaker referred to the
early history of the State. its present
achievements and Its wonderful possible
ities for the future, closing with glow
ing eulogy of Sacramento.
Beautiful vocal music was rendered by
Messrs. Cohn, Kidder, Phinney, Love-
dale, Elkus and Tomaso.
The address by Grand Orator Judge W.
NJ. Conley of MADEIRA on the status and
purposes of the order and its connection
with the best interests of California was
a very eloquent effort, and 1t was en-
Enthusiastically received.
