The record-union., 1896-08-27

delegates ana mad never refused to
carry the banner of the party in the face
of certain defeat. He had endeavored
at all times on the bench to fulfill the
high trust reposed in him and deal fair
ly and impartially by all. He asked
them to once more indorse him for the
position, and he would still endeavor to
do so.
j. w. Hughes was next called on and
was received with a storm of applause
He asked for their suffrages, and said
he realized that the position for which
he asked was one of the most import
ant in the gift Of the people. If elected
he should strive to his best ability to
properly perform the duties of the
office and to be worthy of the conf
dence reposed in him.
Judge A C. Hinkson spoke next, say
ing that forty-four years ago as boy
he landed in this city, and twenty
seven years of that time he had spent
here. He had devoted much of that
time to the welfare of the Democratic
party. A year ago he had indorsed the
platform of to-day and had avowed him
self a friend of silver, although strong
ly advised by friends not to make him
self conspicuous by doing so. The man
with whom he sat on the platform that
night was w. J. Bryan. who will be the
next President of the United States.
All that he could offer them tonight
in support of his request for nomination
was the brief record he had made in his
present position. He must leave them
to judge what that record was. He felt
that he was entitled to receive at their
hands the same treatment that Judges
Catlin and Van Fleet did four years ago,
when they were indorsed by the Demo-
cratic party because it felt that they
had earned approval by their course
on the bench. He felt that he was
placed in an embarrassing position, and
he hoped they would appreciate the fact
and follow out the custom and tradi-
tions of the party and place their in
dorSement of his administration.
His remarks were loudly applauded
when he closed.
The roll call showed Johnson 156,
Hughes 152 and Hinkson 75, and the
nomination of Hughes and Johnson was
made unanimous.
The nomination of State Senator
came next
H. M. La Rue said that thirty years
House and heard a gentleman speak.
He afterward served. with him in the
| Legislature and always found him
| faithful, honest and Industrious. He
took pleasure tonight in presenting
the name of Gillis Doty for State Sem
ator. If elected Sacramento County
would have a representative to be
proud Of
| A M Seymour heartily seconded the
nomination of Mr.. Doty and prophesied
his election, as he would have the sup
port of his party.
r.. NJ Clarken also seconded his NOM
| ination.
| The nomination was then made by
acclamation and Doty was called on.
| He thanked the convention for the
confidence reposed in him by nominat-
| ing him without asking him to indorse
the platform. He had never broken a
| pledge to the people. 1t had always
been the object of mis- life to keep in
touch with the people. He did not
envy others their riches, but felt closer
to the toilers than to them.
