So we to-day can see shining through

that in that sign the Republican party

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTOR.
John L. Fulweiler of Placer County
rose to name a candidate for Presi-
Dental Elector. He intended, he said,
to mention a man who would go far to-
ward dispelling the clouds which had
gathered over the Republican party in
the State. The Democrats and Populists
had raised the cry Of free silver. and
his nominee would show to the people
that the Republican party was not OPP
posed to bimetallism.
The silver question, he said, was not the
issue-it is protection. Whether there
was gold money or silver money, or
whether there was both gold and silver,
would not put dollar into the laboring-
mans pocket from the vault of the CAPT.
talist. Protection was what was need
ed. It would open factories and work
shops and give the laboringman a
chance to exercise his muscle and earn
livelihood. That is the issue, he said
making work for the worker-and as
a man who could tell the people all
about 1t, and who would make an ex-
ceilent Presidential Elector, he named
Hon. j. M. Wailing of Nevada County
Judge Walling has happy combina-
ton of dignity and joviality, and his
speech to the convention was jolly
one, replete with humor which made
the listeners wish to smile, even when
the speaker was in the midst of his
most earnest sentences.
He began by stating that man never
got honors except when he wasn't look
ing for them, and had anyone told him
when he started from home that this
honor would have been thrust upon
him he would have thought that per
son luny in the first degree. He would
not promise the convention to speak
from all the stumps in the State, but
would skirnish around and do some
thing for the cause.
The speaker laid claim to no especial
credit for having been Republican all
his life, except that he had been far
sighted enough to see that it was the
party for the people. He had had the
honor of meeting that grand American,
Major Mckinley, and had fought with
him under the same old flag, and If
anything he could do would further the
prospects of that man it should be done.
Two considerations, Judge Walling
said, induced him to accept the nom
ination. the first being that he deemed
It his duty to assist Grove L. Johnson
in making his race for reelection to
Congress. Prior to two years ago
many men In the mines thought that a
nan from Sacramento could not be in
trusted with their interests in the halls
of Congress. He worked for Johnson
then, and the miners had not been dis
appointed, and whatever faults he
might have, if any, the miners were
ready and willing to trust him still.
The second consideration, the speaker
said, was to assist the party. He was
the more ready to do that because the
old party was still intact. The Demo-
Gratis and Populists had fused-mixed
up-and had the Republican party done
likewise he would not offer his assist
ance, because he would not know where
ne was at. He thanked the convention
for the honor, and was loudly cheered
when he sat down.
Judge Davis Of Amador County was
chosen as the candidate for alternate to
the Presidential Elector by acclama-
ton. He promised that, though the
position was usually held to be an hon
orary one, he would take the stump for
the ticket and for the platform, a state
ment which was received by the con-
vention with a burst of enthusiastic ap-
plause.
