our United States Circuit Judges, oul
United States Supreme Judges are ap-
pointed upon that theory and for that
reason Now, gentlemen, Judge Van
Fleet is no stranger to the people OF
this State. 1t is not my purpose tc
eulogize; it is not my purpose to take
up the attention of this convention Ion
ger than to state a few facts which
know to be true, and which you can
verify if you wait for future develop
ments and the action of this convention
and the election of Judge Van Fleet al
the polls.
He is a. good lawyer he is a fearless
man. He came to Sacramento and en-
gagged in the practice of law with sue
cess; was elevated to the Superior
bench in this city and county, and no
Democrat was found to run against
him, and he also received the nomina-
ton of both parties, and was over
whelming eleoted-no one running
against him.

office al Sacramento, he connected him.
self with one of the best law firms in
San Francisco-Mastick, Belcher &
Mastick-and there he won distinction
in San Francisco at the bar. Judge
Paterson firing of the duties of the
office Of Supreme Judge, resigned. Judge
Van Fleet was appointed to fill his va
cancy. He then went before the peo-
pie and was elected, and he is now
serving that term. He comes to you

He comes to you, not craving; he comes

Gentlemen, he deals out the law to
the pauper and the King as he finds it.
He gives them the law as 1t is upon
the statute book, and there has never
been any one that could question his in
tegrity, his soundness as man, his
ability as a Judge, or his worth as a
good citizen.
II ask you to renominate Judge Van
Fleet, and he will do honor to the Re-
publican party, as Republican, and
he will do honor to the bench in the
equal dispensation of justice to all
classes-religious, political, of whatever
kind-and in him you have strong
friend, a good man, a good Judge ir-

JUDGE HART'S SPEECH.
Judge E. G. Hrat of Sacramento
made a telling speech in seconding JUS
tice Van Fleets nomination. He said:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Conventions: The representatives in
this convention from Sacramento Coun-
ty, with whose judicial history he was
for a number of years identified, and in
which he distinguished himself by
splendid ability, could not we'll be ac-
cused of objectionable dereliction of
duty if they did not at his time indorse
the candidacy of Hon. w. c. Van Fleet
for Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court.
called to the nisi prius bench when
a young man in this county, it was but
a short time when he was recognized
by bench and bar as a man eminently
suited to the performance of judicial
functions by the profound learning that
he displayed, and the absolute fairness
and impartiality with which he pre-
sided over causes in that forum. And
his career upon the Supreme bench OF
this State, though brief, stands as a
monument to his learning, his erudition
and his integrity.
His name, gentlemen of the conven-
ton, will add 20 the strength of this
ticket particularly in the northern
part of the State, where he is honored
and revered; and he will continue to
discharge the duties pertaining to his
seat upon the Supreme bench in the
manner which we expect from a pro-
found jurist." (Applause)
JUDGE DAVIS OF AMADOR.
Judge John F. Davis Of Amador ably
seconded Van Fleets nomination, and
his effort was received with round
upon round of applause. Judge Davis
said:
"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention: Make no mistake about it;
you have come to the most important
part of your deliberation. In our
complex system of government by
checks and balances, the judiciary is
the balance wheel. People may lose
faith in their Governor, may lose faith
in their Legislature; but if ever the
American people come to lose faith in
their Judges, the end is at hand of re-
publican institutions. Make no mistake
about it: To the judiciary is left the

A Special Corset
for Stout Women.

For long time past we have
realized the necessity for just such
a corset as this. It's a black sa-
teen corset made at our request
by the Royal Worcester Company,
intended for the use of stout wo-
men, hence is extra heavy in every
part. 1t will give stout women
better service and more satisfac-
ton than any corset heretofore
carried by us, or, we believe, than
any corset that can be procured
elsewhere in town. Price is So.

A Case of Memory,

The serenader stopped beneath the win
dow. He u%nslung his guitar and touched its
strings softly and lovingly. Then he looked
about the dark shadows of the garden and
along the line of fence that marked the
street end of the handsome premises.
Nothing was in sight.
Looking again at the window, the youth
ran his fingers swiftly across the strings,
and then, lifting up his head and opening his
mouth until the moonlight glittered ON his
teeth, he began in a shrill tenor:
"Oh, don't You remember
But he got no further.
The window above suddenly opened and
a large, heavily-framed engraving of the
battleship Maine was dropped from within
and fell squarely on the singers head.
"Oh, We remember all right" shouted a
hoarse voice from above.
And the startled singer gathered himself
together and sadly and painfully went his
way.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Is Health Worth Ten Cents.

Man suffers many mysterious ailments
from unknown causes, and nine-tenths of
them have their origin in the digestive canal
somewhere. 1t does any person good to
clean out this canal occasionally in a rational
way, provided it is not done in a violent
name The proper cleansing and disin-
fecting preparation is Cascarets Candy Ca
thartrc, which are very gentle, but at the
same time thoroughly effective. A l0c box
will purify the whole system and in most
cases remove the cause of i'll health. When
feeling bad" take Cascarets. They will do
you good, and can do you no harm.

Proposed Alliance with England.

II the United States and England should
form an alliance, the combined strength
would be so great that there would be little
chance for enemies to overcome us. In a like
manner, when men and women keep up their
bodily strength with Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, there is little chance of attacks from
disease. The old time remedy enriches the
nerves and increases the appetite. Try it.

NO WORSE THAN CIVIL WAR.
Gen. GrOsvenOr's Reply After Visit to
Old Camp AlgeP.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-Representative
Grosvenor, of Ohio called at the War De-
partment to-day in company with ex-Repre-
sentative Thompson, to report to Secretary
Alger the results of their visit of inspection
of the camp at Dunn Loring, and particu-
larry the state of affairs in the Seventh
Ohio Volunteer Regiment
General Grosvenor was emphatic in his
approval of what he saw. He said: II never
saw a body of soldiers better fed; better
clothed and better sheltered than the Sew
enth Ohio Regiment at present. So much
for the general condition. Now as to par
ticulars. There were 1900 men in the regi-
ment. Except from suicide, there have
been but two deaths among them since the
organization four and a half months ago.
Including the men who were furloughed to
go home and recuperate and those in the
hospitals there were only forty-one men
rot able to report for duty yesterday morn
ing. finer. abler set of men never saw.
in my life"
Continuing, General Grosvenor said that
the dissatisfaction among the soldiers was
all traceable to the fact that they had not
been able TO get TO the front. On the whole.
he (Grosvenor) was satisfied the men were
very much better OF than We're the soldiers
in the civil war. This last view was con-
firmed by Senator Allen, of Nebraska, who
called at the War Department to get some
news of the whereabouts Of the Second Ne
braska Regiment, which he was told was
en- route from Chickamauga TO Omaha He
said the main complaint among the men
was their enforced detention at the camps
instead of being sent to the front So far
as their physical condition was concerned.
