sECoNDING SPEECHES.
Saloman of San Francisco said that
4 AOOt
Republican party had ever promised
recognition to the veterans of the Civil
War. These promises, he said, had
seldom been kept, and he insisted on
the nomination Of Truman Reeves. He
indorsed the proposition of standing
by the veterans, as they had stood by
| the party.
Doty of Alameda also seconded
Reeves nomination, and said if an
overwhelming majority was wanted in
Alameda County, Reeves names ought
| to be placed on the ticket.
Lennon Of Santa Rosa seconded the
nomination of Nixon. He insisted that
| the hundred and fifty Republican pa
i pers of the State ought to have recog-
milton at the hands of the party, and
those same editors would work the
| harder fight if one of their number
was placed on the ticket
| Taylor of Siskiyou also seconded
Nixons nomination. He called atten-
ton to the fact that at the election Of
two years ago the only Republican
| Congressman returned was from the
North. He said he was present as a
dummy sent down by the North BIZ
ennially sent down for the purpose
Of being knocked down, and he pro-
tested against that kind of proceed
| ing.
Sturtevant of Mendocino said that
Siskiyou already had a candidate for
Railroad Commissioner in the person
of Edison. San Bernardino County had,
he said, no nominee, and it was only
| just that favors be circulated among
all sections, and, in so far as possible,
among all counties.
REEVES NOMINATED.
The roll-call resulted in the nomina-
| ton of Reeves by the following vote:
Reeves 544, Nixon 24O.
A motion by Wentworth Of San
Francisco that all candidates nom
mated appear before the convention
and accept the platform was uncere-
moniously laid on the table.

men of San Francisco in particular, de-
sire to second the nomination Of the Hon.
