 General A. L. Hart-Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention: It was in- timated on this floor to-day that the San Francisco delegation was upon the slate, If the gentleman who made this state ment in relation to that delegation will years and remember the occurrence in the convention of this State and in this hall four years ago he will become strongly reminded of the fact that there is at least one man of that delegation that Is not and never was slated and does not be- long to any association that is not in the but one slate. San Francisco during this convention has asked for nothing. Our delegates came here ana honestly cast their votes in favor of what they be- lieyed to be the best interests of the party Our slate is Charles Curry. (Ap- plause and cheers.)
 There has been no request-there has been nothing asked-of this convention which would have justified the gentlemen who are associated with me upon that delegation in joining in anything. We have come here in behalf of San Francis co.'s favorite son and we ask you gentle men, without going into long speech, describing the war or tearing the flag to give to San Francisco this nomination Our population justifies it and our can didate is popular man, known through out the State as one of the strongest Re publicans in California This is all I have to say and I believe that you will at least accord to the village something and that something is all that we ask-Charles Curry
