D. E. KNIGHT NOMINATED.
w. M. Cutter of Yuba said: Mr..
| Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con-
vention: l desire on behalf of North
| ern California, which asks very little of
any convention and generally gets a
good deal less Oaughter), to place in
nomination for one of the candidates
at large to the National Convention a
| man whom we consider eminently
proper to send there; and one of the
best indications that he is a proper man
to send is the fact that the State has
sent him before. He is not a speaker
like his namesake, the eloquent orator
who was just nominated for one of the
delegates, but he is an equally useful
man to have along, for he is very
wealthy man, and when it comes to put
ting up money for the party there is not
man in this State who will put up with
him. He has always spent his money,
and largely, for the success of the Re-
publican party.
He represents more particularly
than any other man the large manufac-
turing interests of this State, interests
which are more closely identified with
the Republican party and the doctrine
of protection.
Now, we Of the county of Yuba, the
old historic county of this State, have
furnished this State and various neigh
boring States and Territories with a
great many distinguished men. We
have Furnished United States Senators
for two or three of the neighboring
States. We have furnished a Mayor for
San Francisco and innumerable mem
bers Of Congress. And we have been so
! frequently furnishing distinguished
men to districts which do not happen to
have them that now there are only
| about two distinguished men left
| One is this gentleman whom l desire to
place in nomination Ga voice, Who is
the other?D and the other one modesty
| forbids me to mention. Gaughter)
Il desire to place before this conven-
ton the name of David e. knight of the
county of Yuba (Applause.) And I
trust that in voting upon his name the
members of this convention will indi-
1ri1n
Jonathan to this David" daughter
| and applause.)
IRVING NJ SCOTT.
Martin Stevens of San Francisco
said: Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen.
All the good men have not been named
| have a name to present to you on be-
half of all the laborers of the State of
California; a man who represents the
| bone, the muscle, the sinew and the
sweat of well-paid labor; gentleman
who sees daily in the flames of his
! FORCES the happy smiles of well-paid
men; a man of education and refine
| ment; man who, throughout his long
| life, has been loyal and a true Re-
| publican, and a man who appreciates in
| the highest degree, because his own
business rests upon it as foundation
stone, the principles of protection

| consideration the name of the Hon.
| Irving NJ. Scott" (Applause)
