MR.. RYAN's ADDRESS.
Mr.. Ryan was called on and intro
duced as the Republican Congressman
who would represent the district the
coming session. Addressing the con-
lvention, he said:
| "Gentlemen-I thank you for this
great honor you have bestowed upon
me- and l hope the prophecy OF my sue
cess just expressed by our Chairman, Mr.
| Greely, Will prove true.
| Il realize that this is an important elec-
ton to- the peoples of the Second Congress
| have task upon, my hands; but l
realize, gentlemen of this convention, that
this district should be, as has been said,
represented by Republican. We are a
grateful people. We appreciate the pres.
ent administration. We realize what
President Mckinley has done, not only for
| United States, and we want to show our
appreciation and gratitude by rolling up
a Republican majority in every dlsIriGt Irf,
| and every county of the State of Cali
fornia, in behalf of its candidates. NowI
SO far as the interests Of this convention
are concerned, represent no section or
| faction. If l should be elected to Con-
| gIess, l will encourage the mining in
drstry as well as the industry of the agri-
great interests, and | appreciate the fact
that California-the brightest State IN the
Union, the State of more industries than
any other State-oweS it's existence to the
mining industry. l assure you there is no
prejudice in Sacramento against mining;
that is !, mistake. IT. is true we have had
| hydraulic mining, but that is settled
and there is no conflict now. We want
assistance from the Government; we want
| to maintain the channels of our rivers;
| we. must maintain the mining industry
| that has made California a great State,
and which brought our fathers here who
! built it that me might enjoy the many
| privileges and institutions that have been
erected here for our benefit, and if it Is
in Congress, every time and upon every
| occasion 1t shall be my hope and my en-
deavor to secure that assistance from the
! Government which we are entitled to, and
| which has been entitled to us in the past.
II we read the history of California and
] realize the productions of this State. and
| especially the production of gold, which
| did so much to uphold our Nation in it's
hour of peril there is no one who has a
spark of gratitude in his heart but will
feel that that industry should be encour-
! aged and maintained; and when they say
! that a man from Sacramento is opposed
to, the mining industry. they make mis-
| take.
| Gentlemen of the jury, or, pardon me,
| Gentlemen of the Convention (Applausa):
| have been so long engaged in the courts,
and especially in prosecuting defendants,
! and sometimes il has been pretty hard on
me 10 do it, VI der the generous nature Mr..
| Greedy has accredited TO me-but when
| | have duty to perform, whether in the
| courts or whether it is in the halls of
/ Congress, you will find me there ready to
the best of my ability, and it shall be
| done according to the best of my judg-
ment and the dictates of my heart.
I don't want TO detain you here any
longer gentlemen. | think ! have said
enough. If any gentleman wishes to ask
me how | si?tnd on any proposition | am
| meet him, and l hope to meet him hon.
estly and conscientiously.
>, i want the support of every Repub-
! iican and every Democrat that | can get
IN this district; | want the support of the
Republioans because we feel an interest in
me republican party. We feel an interest
IN an our President: We feel an interest
/ in our Adminstra ticn and we want TO
show to President Mckinley, and to the
our present Government and we mean to
maintain and uphold it in the future |
thank you. gentlemen, for your at,en-
! ton"
MADE UNANIMOUS.
| Senator VOORHEES, moved that the
Secretary be instructed to cast the
ballot of the convention for Mr.. Ryan.
j. NJ. Fulweiler said he was opposed
to secret ballot in all things. even
at the polls, and moved that the NOM
ination be made by rising vote
Judge Davis said the law made a
, ballot necessary for a nomination. and
the Secretary, in casting the vote Of
the convention, would not cast a secret
ballot. The secret ballot is the life
OF the country, however and if it were
not for it every corporation would
know how its employees voted, and
could control them. 1t is the only way
to protect the American ballot
The Secretary was Instructed to cast
the conventions ballot for Mr.. Ryan
and did SO, after which the convention
by a rising vote nominated him by
reclamation, with three cheers
