T, F, LOUD. NOMINATED BY ACCLAMAT|0N,

I.duty, had won the confidence and respect of
their fellow-members and reached position
where their counsel and advice were daily IN
demand. Such is the position now occupied
by the honOra BILE gentleman who for six years
has faithfully represented the people OF the
Fifth Congressional District of this State. BY
careful attention TO his legislative duties and
q strict adherence to an honest purpose ne
has steadily gained in the estimation OF ms
fellow-mem berS, until to-day he is at the heao
of one of the most impor tant committees OF tne
House, a committee to which is intrusted the
legislative affairs of our vast and complicated
postal system, involving as it does about one
fifth of the entire annual expenditures OF our
National Government.
On the floor of the House he always COM
mands respectful attention and, though gen.
erous to those with whom he may dlfer, ne
neither asks nor expects quarter respecting
matter of principle 10 which he has gwen ms
adherence. Mr. Chairman, these are not mere
Idle words. speak from personal knowledge,
and l say to you that in neither Dranch OF
Congress is there man that stands for more
of official integrity and all that goes to make
careful, safe and efficient representative tnan
does EugeneF. Loud.
Let me cite you single illustration among
the many that could be brought to your atten-
ton respecting the standing and influence of
Mr. Loud in the lower house of Congress. One
of the measures which had the honor to as
I:ssc in urging upon that BODY involved
an appropriation of quarter OF a
n0lltiou of dollars which we sought to obtain
through the medium of the House Committee
On Rivers and Harbors.
The entire delegation from California labored
earnestly and harmoniously and with all the
zeal for which CalifornianS are noted to secure
this appropriation. But it was uphill work.
1t was q Presidential year; the Government
was running behind at the rate of five millions
or more q month as a result of Democratic
tinkering; cry for economy in National ex-
denditures had gone abroad, and, notwith-
standing the able and united efforts of the
California delegation, there still remained

form. Could any man have anticipated that
would not have indorsed the latter portion of
that platform when am pledged to it to-day
and have voted upon that proposition from the
very start? have another session of Congress
to serve. when that matter must be finally
settled, and no man elected to Congress this
tlnre will have any vote upon any funding bill
whatever.
l have appeared before the people of the
Fifth Congressional. District in three success
sive campaigns, and l don't think that any
person has ever heard me before convention
or before the people say one word in behalf of
greater notoriety and go to the front more
rapidly. by proclaiming their own worth, but
have always believed that man must be
judged. by his actions. time, however, comes
in the lives of most men when, perhaps, they
are called upon 10 defend themselves for their
own sake. For twenty years did that fearless
statesman, John Sherman, remain silent under
the.viflainous accusation that he had been the
instigator of the so-caled crime of 1878 until
1898, when that hoary traitor Senator Stewart
was yilffying a man IN his grave unable to
protect himself-Hooper of Massachusetts.
Then Senator Shelman rose in his place and
said: ''The time has come for us to place the
truth before the American people,.
Here Mr.. Loud read an extract from
Senator Sherman's speech, II which he
quoted Senator Stewart as saying that
gold was the only standard, and not paper
money, irredeemable In gold, and that the
laboring man should receive dollar that
will have the purchasing power of a dol
lar. Every body knows what dollar in
gold is worth, said Senator Stewart. Mr..
Loud continued:
Senator Sherman showed by the record that
he had voted against the demonetization act,
and that this arch vilifier, Senator Stewart,
had voted for it. would not defend myself
against any accusations that could be made if
/ were the only party implicated, but the time
has come when must speak. You of this con-
vention have been accused of being the hire
lings of bosses and corporations; that you were
brought here almost with q lasso around your
necks and forged to nominate Eugene F.Loud
for Congress. All, you have been slandered,
not /, and you to-day mus speak the truth as
becomes yourselves. If it be the truth, then
don't vote for me; aud If 1t is q falsehood, then
speak in no uncertain tones.

some time 1t has fallen upon my personal
back as the gentle rain in the spring upon the
budding flower. was accused during the last
campaign of never having risen upon the
floor of Congress to utter single word. When
the Fifty-four thC Congress assem- bled and the Re-
publican party for the first time was in COM
manding position in that body the accusation
was hurled back by placing your humble
servant at the head of one of the most i'm
portant committees in the House of Represen-
tatiyes.
An intimation had been made that had re-

him over RyIand.
"They tell us now" continued Mr..
Shortridge, that our much respected fel-
low-ritizen, Judge Mcguire, is invincible-
feat Mcguire afterward. Mr.. Loud will
triumphantly carry the Fifth Congress

serve there with the other and greater

and which the American people, IN NO

nous majority, Notwithstanding the fact
that the distinguished gentleman from the
West does not propose that crown OF

that honest man and that spotless Repub-
lican, Eugene F. Loud"
The speaker was frequently interrupted
by applause.
Mr. Loud, in response TO a persi stent
call, appeared upon the platform and was
greeted with long continued applause.
He spoke substantially as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen of the conven-
tion: You can hardly anticipate the pleasure
it affords me to lndorse the manly platform
enlinciated by the Republican party at st.
Louis this year, and with the amendment that

toswhich we had made our appeal, and con-
Jess l felt somewhat discouraged: AT this
luncture 1 appealed TO Mr.. Loud and asked
him to use his personal influence with those.
in whose hahds lay the decision of. our cause.
Ny appeal was not in vain. AS soon as he re-
alized the gravity of the SITUATE he went to
work quietly but effectively and with deter.
smination and tenacity have never seen eX-
celled, nor did he cease hfs labors until the
scale had turned'in our favor and the Califer-
MIA delegation were enabled:to to record a victory
as COMPLETE as it had been difficult To obtain.
Nor is it alone in .the halls of legislation
that Eugene Loud has proven his love of
country and fidelity to principle. During the
fercest civil conflict the world has ever seen,
he followed the brave and gallant Sheridan to
hundred victories. and left upon the Nations S
roll OF honor the record of a. brave and patri-
otic-soldier. In war and in peace, he has ever
been the same unf1inching patriot loyal citi-
zen and devotedfriend.
Su ch sir, is the man'for whom l speak to-
day. And now, without further commenda-
tion of him whom l Ihaye learned TO honor for
his proven worth,I place before this copven-
.uon for its consideration the name OF Eugene
F. Loud.
In seconding the nomination of Con-
gressmaH Loud, Charles M. Shortridge
said that. he believed that many of the
delegates before him were present in the
Hotel Vendome in San Jose six years ago
when the Hon. Eugene f. Loud was first
nominated. At that time that very dis
tinguished gentleman, that very shrewd
politician. Thomas j.. Clunie who by good
fortune had occupied hi seat in Congress
when the Republican majority passed a
bill for Postoffice in San Jose, claimed
the credit Of that action of Congress. The
old granger, Timothy Guy Phelps, grew
sick and retired from the fight and in
looking over the ranks of the members OF
the Fifth Congressional District they
found Eugene f. Loud to take up the
| banner OF the Republican party and carry
1t to success. He was nominated and was
triumphantly elected over the very able
Congressman, Mr.. Clurie.
There was nota man there on that day
who believed that Mr.. Loud had shadow
of chance for election. 1t looked as
| though Clunie were invincible. During
the last campaign, when they nominated
that respectable young man, Mr. Ryland,
| they were told that Mr.. Loud could not be
elected, but those who believed that an
honest Congressman can live on $4,000 a
year. the people who believed that a Con-
| gresham should live upon that and not
upon the spoils of office, and who believed
that the man who will work faithfully
toward the carrying out of his pledges, a
man who never hinched in the face Of the
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-02

night with his friends, who denounced the
action of the County Committee and
everything done at to-day's meeting.
They declared that the election of the
delegates at large was clearly illegal, and
that the whole proceeding was prear
ranged. j. C. Boatman, Hilborn S secre-
tary, stated that the decision of the county
committee to name all of the election of
ficers is in direct violation of the recon-
EenGation of the State Central Commit
tee, and under no consideration will they
accept it. They decided that they would
take no part in the primary and that they
would refer the whole matter to the State
Central Committee.

A NV SCHOOL YEAR.
Opening of the Fall Term at Heald's
Business College.

Opening of the Fall Term at HeaId's
Business College.
A gratifying testimony to the popularity
and high standing of Heald's Business
College is the fact that despite the hard
times the full enrolment shows marked
increase in the attendance. The advant-
ages OF sending young men and women to
an institution of this kind rather to the
higher grades of the public schools are be-
ing more apparent each year. Pupils are
taught in one-third of the time and are
not Obliged To pursue studies for which
they have no liking.
Alter completing the course graduates
ar are htted to Immediately enter business
life as salaried employees. There is a con-
stant demand for bright young men and
women, as was shown by the long list of
graduates OF Heald's Business College
placed in positions, published in these
columns month ago.
Every department of the college has re-
Gently been strengthened and several
thousand dollars spent on the interior
equipments.
The first student to graduate from the
electrical engineering department secured
q position yesterday as electrician with the
San Gabriel River Electrical Company at
a hich salary.
The fall term begins tomorrow, but as
the instruction is individual, students can
enter with equal advantage at any time.
During the month OF July fifteen short
hand pupils of the college were placed IN
positions and there is at all times stron 6
demand for Heald's graduates.
