aelSnDOrS. You are my 1TlenQS. 1 hiON yours. There is no better class of men in | California than the Republicans of san i francisco; But remember one thing: you may combine with the great county or Los Angeles and the county of santa Clara, and you can throw us down II you want to. Don't you do it. Don't you do it. boys: Don't you do it. l say to you this, We have got fight on our ~' ing's Examiner, is running away rom his record. 1 wrote the single tax plank -and put it in the platform word l,,,Sar TOT word as it is now. He says this morning he did not deny he was the apostle or single tax, but he says it is not of record; Last March he stood In Congress ana made speech for that infamous doctrine that all taxes should be placed upon lana that no single man living can get Q title
 to his homestead; he cannot get title 10 the homestead where his wife and chil- dren have decorated his home. He can
 the dear ones of his. O. no, I say he has .: run away from his record. We will pur-
 sue him our gallant ships pursued the
 Spanish fleet. and will shatter his army, as: that Spanish fleet that went down to :. the. depths of the sea. and with 1t bfgotry, cruelty and wrong and blood, 10
 the bottom of the ocean, so shall the old
 pemocratic craft be sunk.
 We: have come here in the cause of Robert Nixon. Do you know who he is! Do you know what kind of stock he is made of? His father; Captain Robert lance Committee in San Francisco in 1856, . .and hanged and launched into eter-

 but when you look for your Republican
 -rnajoritieS in the ides of November you
 cast your eyes to the north men, and they are always true to the Republican party. I'know MT. Reeves. He is a gentleman, : and he left his arm upon the field of bat .. tie shot off by rebel bullet; but, gentle
 Tfen, he bore the banner of his country .: :Government of the United States was back of him guaranteeing him protection
 by two millions of Federal bayonets and
 by the loyalty of forty millions of Ameri-
 mountain fastnesses of Siskiyou. He
 voted for John C. Fremont, and for forty of: the principles of Bryanism and Ma

 overturned the effete civilization of the .; south. The only exception was Hannibal,
 who fingered at Capua, and his doom was
 sealed. In behalf of Humboldt County, ~ in behalf of the young men of the north = ern part of the State, in behalf of the never. so far. is upon the slate, except that one candidate-as I said before, one 'consta able-I second the nomination of t-4at staLwart war horse of the Republican party Robert Nixon of Sfskiyou County

 Mir Solomon of San Francisco-Mr.
 Chairman, l did not intend to appear on
 this platform this morning to second the
 iYo7ntnation of any one but in listening occurred to me that since 1864 and Up to this very day every Republican conVen- .tfon;. national or State, that met through out :.these United States affirmed and 'prdnaised solemnly never to forget the veterans who fought the war of the Union : against the rebellion. We have got near >ly to the end of our ticket and ask this Republican convention where is the . recognition you have given to the repre-
 s1ntatives of the 10000 veterans that vote .: for the Republican ticket in the State of = California and reside here. They do not live in the north or south, they live on both sides of MT. Van Dusers ditch (ap-
 plause) and you expect their votes in :Siskiyou County as well as in San Diego.
 When had the honor of seconding the . nomination of Judge Buckles last night I told YOU ne was 2 veteran he leII one of his legs in front of Gettysburg. .. suppose that was the reason he could not
 run fast enough to get to the head of the ticket. The man whose nomination .. I desire to second. Truman Reeves. car
 rieS an empty sleeve, which speaks to . voli'- more eloquently in his behalf than | caIi In the words of my friend from TehaEna I've want to be recognized
 We:'ought to be recognized. You believe and know that the old veterans vote the =. Repubiican ticket whether they are rec -6gTlEzed or not and for that reason I
 say to you it is more your duty than .. and always will stand by you. l second the. nomination of Truman Reeves. l ask = Tn behalf of his comrades that you place !. bfnf a our representative on this Repub- : :lican ticket and as we always have done : we will stand by the party as it always : only: stood by us by your good wishes

Reeves. the man who Jeff an arm on the battlefield. l think as % the preceding speaker said that we are
 entitled to it, and if you want an over hpnltnP majority III [AldlIIeud CouhLJ

 A. B. Lennon of Santa Rosa-Gentle- men of the Republican Convention of the
 State of California: We are almost through ilro with the labors of making
 State ticket; We have not yet .+ beigutn eict .,. the struggle for the election of that tlck- :af T;wo Wears ago when the names were
 presented of the standard bearers of the two great parties of this country. the
