Chairman, and gentlemen of the con-
vention, in placing in nomination del

meet the appeal of the people, must an

To that end, gentlemen of the con-
vention, | have in mind, and | propose
to place in nomination here before YOU,
gentleman who for the last six years
has been prominent in California Re-
publican politics; a gentleman who,
prior to that time, had been engaged in
business pursuits off in the mining
counties; who had always been a ster-
ling, stalwart Republican; who had
never called upon the party for any re-
ward for himself, always working for
the good of the party, advancing the
principles of Republicanism in every
direction. He was induced by his
friends six years ago to step into these
legislative halls, and for six years past
this very room has been echoing his
words, always for the good of the State
always in the line of true, goou Repub-
licanism.
