from it all, is not the mere destruction
of the foe and the elevation of our flag,
but it is the conservation Of the Amer
dean youth, regardless Of party or creed
or wealth or poverty, to the nag, the
honor of their nation. (Applause)
When upon the Winslow's burning
deck young Bagley threw out ms line
and it was taken, and 1t broke, ana
he laughingly said, 1t is becoming
warm here, and threw it out again,
and a shell burst over him and ms
companions and hurled them to their
doom, there died brave young man
whose widowed mother in North Caro-
lima has poured and is pouring over
his grave those tears for which no
money can compensate and Tor Whlch
mo people can ever be duly grateful.
On FL Caney's. hight, in the storm
scene there occurring, young Hamilton
Fish fell before the bullet of the foe.
He was a man of wealth, OF New
Yorks 400, moving in the highest cir
cles of that power which has accumu-
lated as the result of money He died,
that rich young man-that man with
powerful surroundings, that man who

have hired, as young Astor did, bat
terry of artillery, and could have de-
stroyed the Spanish power with his
own money-he died for the cause OF
his country and for liberty. And wheth-
er he was worth $1OO,OOO,OO0 or $780,
100000 of money, he contributed more
to the American people and made it
greater in itself, and greater to futurity,
than had he lived a thousand years.
(Great applause)
These are facts we all know. No
partisanship can destroy them; no
partisanship can dim them; they are
q common heritage; they belong to US
all. I have referred to these SUBJECTS
for 1 know how an attempt will be
made to use these great national events
in the aid of the Republican party.
Finally, I repeat, I second the nom
ination Of the man par excellence, TO
lead US in this campaign-the nom
ination of James G. Mcguire, and let
us all meet him once more in Sacra-
mento and hear him deliver his in
augural address" prolonged cheers)
There being no further nominations
none other were expected-and no fur
ther seconding speeches being the Or
der of the day. a motion to make Ma
guire's nomination unanimous was car
ried with cheers and after the Secre-
tary had cast the ballot, he was de-
clared the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor
A committee was appointed to escort
Judge Mcguire to the platform, but
he was not to be found, and did not
reach the hall until the afternoon ses-
sion, and in the meantime it was agreed
to continue with the regular order OF
business.

the stump for the Democratic nominees
