ton against the members of which
there at one time existed in the minds
Of majority of the people of this State
feelings of prejudice, intensified IN
many instances into feelings of animoS-
lily and hatred, yet never has there been
breathed, let alone uttered, by anyone
word derogatory of his name.
Z On the contrary, all have ever spoken
of him in the highest and most compli-
mentary terms, and never has his name
been presented to the people for an
official position that he did not receive
the solid support of the members of his
party organization and also the support
of very large percentage of those who
differed with him politically, thus prov
ing their faith in his integrity and hon
or. In consideration of these facts, it
affords me great pleasure to propose
the health of the Hon. Jackson Temple.
Judge Temple responded as follows:
Mr.. Toastmaster and Gentlemen:
Among other things which have made
this an enjoyable occasion is the fact
that until this morning l had been de-
luded into the belief-the happy belief
that l would not be called on for a
speech, among others, of course, an in
ducemsnt which might have brought
lis all here that it would be an occa-
sion to hear something pleasant and
complimentary to the members of the
Supreme Court.
Now, L presume my name was called
more because it was on the programme
in the regular order, and l believe I
may take advantage of the constitu-
IL
preme Court, and call upon an utter
ance to take ninety days therefor
Qaughter), until which time something
may be heard from me, unless the cause
should be removed into bank. Uaugh-
ter) But there is always this draw
back in an appeal to the Supreme Court
for remark or for a speech that there
may often be a rehearing. Oaughter.)
OF course, as stated by the Chief JUS
tice, do not claim to be worthy of all
the good things my friend has said
about me, yet | haf G, it is true, ON
many occasions had reason to be thank
ful for the good th:Irsss done for me by
my political antagonists. / confess that
in the early days l was no very moder-
ate partisan, and / feel all the more
fattered that during my judicial career
/ have always received, as / believe, a
large support from my Republican
friends. (Applause.)
There is one fact in my judicial ca
reer that l esteem more than any COM
pliment ever paid to me-that comes
home with such force-and that is that
so far as non partisanship in my de-
ciSions is concerned l have deserved
confidence (Applause)
Gentlemen, in regard to a response of
this kind / feel a good deal as | am told
General Grant did when he visited
Sacramento. Not much accustomed to
speaking, | have been told that when he
was eloquently welcomed he said he
was simply appalled, by the eloquence
of the welcome. The speeches that have
been made here are certainly so elo-
quent, so appropriate, SO interesting,
that 1 should not attempt to appall you
by any feeble effort of mine, and / will
close by thanking you for this kind en-
tertainment. dong applause)
JUSTICE M'FARLAND.
Frank Miller was called on next. Mr..
Miller said:
The citizens of Sacramento are IA
NOUS for one thing; their loyalty to
their own town and to their own peo-
pie; therefore it is a great honor to me
that l should be chosen to welcome to
this table one of our own citizens who
has climbed to the highest position in
this State-the bench of the Supreme
Court.
This distinguished jurist came to us
from the north. Nevada County lost him
then forever, but we shall not lose him,
for he will never cancel his allegiance
to Sacramento County. Men respect him
highly because with wisdom and mod
GRAFTON he always pronounces condemn
alton; the ladies smile kindly on him at
the whist table. because, with great
discretion, he frequently utters dam
nation"
We always did and we always shall
love him, and we pray that no worse
fate may befall him than tranSporta-
ton for Ife to that catacomb in Wash
ington known as the United States Su-
preme Court.
Jupiter was an executive and judicial
officer who held the thunderbolts Of
power in his right hand and caused fear
to fall on the people, but it was only
fear. it was not terror for the people
knew that a manly and sympathetic
heart controlled that right hand.
Jeremy Bentham was a legislative
leader who trained the world to the
highest knowledge, because he pos
sessed a godlike soul and brain.
