stage all of the time. Portraits of William

phasized the principles Of the gathering.
1t did not take long for the convention to
get down to work. Judge Phillips scored
the other Republicans in a powerful speech
and the venerable T. H. Wells of Santa
Monica was selected as temporary chair
man, and Frank Cooper of course acted as
secretary with the assistance of J. Mills
Davies, Harry l.. Baker of Oakland and j..
Stanley Brown of Redlands. Mr.. Cooper
kept a keen eye out for the progression of
business, and 1t was largely due to him that
the convention transacted SO much bust
ness in such short space of time.
An interesting feature of the morning
session was the address given by Lionel A.
Sheldon, who up to the issue of the silver
question at the st. Louis convention, where
he went as a delegate from this state, had
been a Republican of national repute. He
made a strong showing of the decadence of
his old party, and outlined where, by cor
recting Its errors, the Silver Republicans
could become force for progress and re-
form.
The rest Of the morning session was con.
sumed In the announcement and forma tor
of the various committees, the only Incl
dent being one perturbed individual, who
arose and said that he had been told by

prevailing note was that this was the Re-

CALL TO ORDER
Convention Organizes and Gets Ready
for Business

At 1875 o'clock the Silver Republican
convention was called to order by Judge ].
Noonan Phillips, chairman of the state
central committee, who asked the dele
gates to take seats in the body of the hall.
In calling the convention to order he said.
in part:

lican Convention of the State of California

traordinary. There is not, of all the dele
gates present, candidate for office. OF all

"In the oppressive north a few days age
a convention was held in which every mar
who did not have a Southern Pacific tag
was ticketed. 1t was a perfect toboggar
slide from Henry T. Gage down to the
smallest aspirant. 1t was "a programmed
convention. There were two previous con.
ventions held there, to one of which had
the pleasure of being a delegate. There
were no states there. At one an attempt tc
make a slate failed and the broken pieces
were thrown out Of the window.
II am impressed with the fact that We
will go to the man al the anvil and ask
him to come to us and assist in putting
down the aggregation which does politics
for profit"
